Chapter 4 : Secrets Unveiled?

Leelane: Hi! Sorry for not updating…. But I'm here now! I have also decided to make this story as short as possible as I hate long winded stories…. Hope you all don't mind! Thanks for all those who gave me some great ideas! This story will be dedicated to Crystal286 for giving me the idea. Hopefully I would not turn a nice idea into an awful stories. Now let's begin!


"heh…" I sighed. This is tough work. I have to wake up early just to practice since I can't do it in front the sweets princes unless I want my cover to be discover. I have to improve on my skills too since we are entering the competition. AND I do not want to be mocked by that annoying fan girl of Kashino! My grip on the spoon tightened as I thought of Miya-senpai . Just because she's rich doesn't mean that Kashino is hers. Didn't she see that Kashino doesn't return her feelings? She that oblivious or she just choosing to ignored it? I seethed in anger that the thought of the latter.

" Ichigo! That's enough! Any more stirring and the texture will not be nice" said Himeko , snapping me out of my thoughts. I realized what had happened and stare at my work , horrified. If you're thinking that I'm horrified at my own work, you're wrong. I'm horrified that I care so much for Kashino even though I have only known him for a few weeks! I can't believe it! I'm falling for Kashino Makoto, the devil. I pondered to myself. What is it that make me like him? He's a sadist and mean person but yet he showed his kindness in his own way. Is it because I like the way he blushes or reacts when he demonstrate his caring side or is it the way his eyes sparkled when he was successful in whatever he had done? I think it was all of the above.

" Ichigo! Stop dazing off!" Himeko shouted, breaking my train of thoughts once again.

" What had gotten into you? You were never like this ." Himeko asked. I shrugged at her question and placed the mixture into the oven.

" Is it because of a certain blonde hair guy?" Himeko questioned. My cheeks turned red at his name being mentioned.

" OH MY GOSH! You have fallen for him! How sweet!" gushed Himeko. Just as I was about to say something, someone said, " Oi! You're noisy. Quinten down. And who like who?"

I froze. I turned and saw Kashino with an annoyed expression etched onto his face.

" Michi have a crush on a boy from our school!" Himeko said. I looked at Kashino. I saw his expression darkened before it returned to normal. Was is jealously? That's impossible right? He hated me! I think… He always insults me .

" Ding!" sounded the oven. I quickly snapped out of my thoughts and took the cake out and cooled it down. I then took the knife and sliced my cake into 8 slices. I took two slices and them each on a plate. I smelt the cake heavenly aroma. Just a I was about to put a piece of the cake into my mouth, someone ate it right out of my hands from behind me.

" Its good. How did you get this suddenly?" said Kashino suspiciously .

" I .. I …" I stuttered.

" You're hiding something. You are very good in baking sweets from the beginning , aren't you? Why did you pretend you were not?" Kashino interrogated, his expression darkening from every seconds.

I was shocked. " Why do you care?"

" You're pulling down our marks!"

" So you care about the marks that much and not my feelings?! Have it crossed you that I did it because of some personal reasons?"

"Is that that personal that you can't tell me?! Is it as personal as your crush ?!" His eyes darkened as he mentioned the word "crush".

" Why did you need to bring my crush in? It has nothing to do with you!"

" It has because I love you!" He crushed his lips onto mine. I was shocked but was happy my feelings were returned. I responded his kiss. We soon out break to breathe.

" I loved you too. You're my crush"

Kashino's eyes widened before he smiled that beautiful smile I love.

" Will you become my girlfriend?" He whispered into my ear.

"Yes!" I giggled.

He came close to my face and kissed my again. His lips were so soft. My arms went around his neck and pulled him close. Our kiss soon turn passionate. He wrapped his arms around me and his tongue licked my lips, begging for entrance. I accepted his requested and opened my mouth. His tongue travelled into my mouth and explored it. My tongue then went and have a dance with his. From an innocent kiss turned into a French kiss and then led to a hot make out session.

However, it did not last long. " OH MY GOSH! Get a room!" shouted both Hanabusa and Andou. We both broke apart and blushed. Andou and Hanabusa smirked at us. " Ma-kun, you finally make a move and from the looks of it, you two are together now, right?" Andou said. Kashino's and my mouths hung open. Kashino asked, " How did you know?"

" It was so obvious. We have seen the looks two of you have thrown to each other. Only both of you were unaware of each other's feelings." Hanabusa explained.

We looked at each other before blushing again. " Come on lovebirds, let's practice together first then you two can eat each other faces all you want."

We turned red at Hanabusa's statement before nodding and went to practice.


Today was the best day ever! I jumped onto my bed and giggled. But the mood was ruined when I remember about my cover. Kashino might had forgotten today but he will asked me again tomorrow.

" What gotten you so happy just now?" a gentle voice asked me.

" Mari-nee!" I shouted. I decided to told what had happened. I recounted the day's events to Mari-nee and asked for an advice.

" Do not worry and tell him. From what you have told me, he loves you deeply without knowing you're a princess. I'm sure he will still loves you after you told him and he will keep it a secret."

"Are you sure?" I asked hopefully.

" Yes. Do not fret. Just tell him tomorrow. Now go to sleep."

I replied an "ok" and drifted off to sleep, dreaming about a certain boy.


Leelane: I hope its ok... I'm not good at romantic description...
