Kurosaki Rei's P.O.V.

"I'm sorry … Aomine-Sempai … I don't like you anymore."

He looked completely shocked. We were quiet for about a minute. I thought he would punch me for it, but he wasn't reacting at all …

I mean, it's not like he's in love with me or anything.

While I was too busy thinking, he grabbed me from the collar of my shirt and pulled me closer. He looked so angry. It scared me. "So what are you saying, Rei?" I lowered my eyes. I couldn't say anything at all. I barely managed to say that I don't … like him.

"You freakin' bastard! You're the one who confessed to me first! You're the one who kept clinging on to me like a monkey that clings on to a tree! You kept shoving the words 'I love you' in my face every two minutes! You did that just yesterday! And now you're saying you just magically fell out of love with me? Yeah right. I don't believe you! So explain to me exactly what happened!"

I know … I know that. But, I can't tell you.

"Then you can feel relieved now Aomine-Sempai." He raised an eyebrow. "Huh?" I continued. "You don't have to worry about me clinging on to you any longer. I won't bother you with my confessions anymore. You … wanted this to begin with, right? So … me not liking you … shouldn't matter to you."

His eyes widened. No … My eyes were the ones that widened.

I didn't expect to see him look so … sad.

Daiki?...

His hand let go of my shirt and grit his teeth.

"Even though I started to…"

He didn't finish his sentence. "Eh?" His eyes looked away from mine. "No, its nothing. Just do whatever you want." With that, he walked away. I felt a stab in my heart. I ran home that day … and cried my eyes out to sleep.

[Next Morning]

I woke up the next day with puffed eyes. It was probably because I was crying all night. I got up and went to school like a walking dead. When I entered class, I saw Keisuke.

It's all because of you, you jerk.

I was too tired and lazy to glare at him. I walked over to my seat, put my hands on the table and rested my head on them. I'll try to sleep for five minutes or something.

So tired.

"Are you sick, Rei-chin?" I didn't answer him.

As if you care.

"Answer me!" Ughh … I'm too lazy to do this right now! "I'm fine!" My head was still resting on my hands. He went quiet, but the class was too noisy.

"What's wrong Ichiya?" A random student asked. "I can't find my watch! I was sure that I forgot it in class yesterday…"

I flinched and straightened up the moment I heard what he said. Oh no … The watch. I glanced at Keisuke to find him smirking at me. The teacher came in that second and asked everyone to take a seat. Ichiya raised his hand. "Hmm? What is it Ichiya-kun?"

He got up from his seat. "Sensei, I accidentally left my watch in class yesterday. And when I looked for it today I couldn't find it. Can I ask everyone if they saw it?" The teacher nodded. My heart started beating fast.

I'm scared of what Keisuke plans on doing. Whatever he plans, it's never good. While Ichiya was asking the students if they saw it, I felt my heart stop when I saw Keisuke raise his hand.

"Eh? Yanagi, did you see my watch?"

He then looked at me with a cold grin. "You should give it back to him now, Rei-chin." My eyes widened. He … He's gonna tell them that I stole it. I was shaking all over from nervousness.

"You shouldn't steal things, Rei-chin~ people will misunderstand you."

I covered my mouth with my hand. How could he do that? "You stole it?! I never thought you were that type of person Kurosaki! Anyways, give it back now!" I was too shocked to do anything at all. I wanted to disappear right now. "You're not gonna give it back?!" I flinched at his loud voice.

"I … I didn't … steal it."

I felt like crying. He slammed his hands on to the table and yelled. "Give me your bag, right now!" He's gonna see it … I slowly reached my hand to the bag, grabbed it then gave it to him with shaking hands. He opened the zipper, and flipped my bag upside down, dropping everything that's inside the bag, on the table. Then he saw it, his watch. Ichiya took his watch and gave me disdainful look.

"I swear … it wasn't me-" He interrupted me. "You're still denying it even though my watch just came out of your bag?! At least admit it and apologize! People like you disgust me!" I really felt like I was about to cry. I didn't have anything to say back.

"Stop yelling at him. You got your watch back, so get the hell back in your seat."

My eyes widened when Keisuke spoke. Ichiya shot me another glare before going back to his seat. What the hell? Does Keisuke think I'll forgive him because he defended me just now?

As if.

The teacher looked at me with disappointment. "Kurosaki-Kun, please come to my office after we're done with classes."

Damn it. I feel so frustrated. Everyone thinks that I'm a thief … They're all, looking at me with disgust. After classes were over, I made my way to the teacher's office. I knocked the door before I entered. "Come in." I opened the door and entered the room. "Take a seat, Kurosaki-Kun." I nodded and sat down. "So … about what happened in class." I looked away immediately.

"Why did you do it?"

I opened my mouth to speak but stopped. He wouldn't believe me anyways. "I just … didn't do it." He sighed. "What happened in class only proves the opposite of what you're saying." He looked at me with worry. "Is there anything you want to talk about? You're not a student who would do this sort of thing, so … I was wondering about it." I frowned.

Then why wouldn't anyone believe me?

Anyways, its not like I can tell him someone asked me to steal it. Who'd believe that crap, right? I shook my head. "I'm sorry then Kurosaki-Kun. You're staying for detention today." I lowered my eyes and nodded. "Y-Yes sir. Sorry for the trouble." I got up and started walking back to class.

Detention, huh? Never got one before. Today is the worst … I sighed. While walking to class, I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going. I was too busy thinking. I paused when I realized that I was standing in front of the door to the rooftop. My eyes softened.

Should I?

Classes are over, so I'm sure he won't be here. I hesitantly opened the door and walked to the spot where I first confessed to Daiki.

How nice it would be if I can tell him I love him again.

I was interrupted from my thoughts when I felt someone standing behind me. "What are you doing here?!" I gasped. It was Daiki.

Daiki …

"I …" I missed you.

"I …" I love you.

He furrowed his brows. "Never mind, don't bother. I don't really care anymore. Just get the hell out of my napping spot."

I felt like my heart was being stabbed. It's my fault … I know it is. But, there's nothing else I could do for now. I hurriedly got out of there and walked back until I reached class. It was empty. Everyone should be gone by now. There are 15 minutes left until detention starts. I feel so frustrated.

I really … want to disappear.

Even though I did this so Daiki wouldn't hate me … it feels like he already does. I didn't want to cry … but the tears started to fall again. I was crying and sobbing like a kid. I'm thankful that no one is here to see me cry. Or at least that's what I thought. Until I found Keisuke standing next to the door. I immediately rubbed my eyes to wipe the tears away.

"Why are you crying?"

He has the nerve to ask?! "Why? You ask. Are you mocking me? It's all your fault! Everything is your fault … everything." I sniffed. I don't know why, but he was avoiding eye contact with me. "How is it my fault? You said you'd do anything I tell you to, right? You could have said no." I frowned.

"Please … just leave me alone for now …"

He walked over and stood in front of my desk. He raised his hand and I flinched. I thought he was going to hit me. But instead he placed his hand on my head.

Is he comforting me?

"Don't freakin touch him, you bastard."

EH?

My eyes immediately turned to where the voice came from.

Daiki … its Daiki!

No way! He walked over to us, and took hold of my wrist. "You're coming with me, right now!" Keisuke was glaring at him. Daiki pulled me up from the seat and glared back at Keisuke.

"Where do you think you're taking him?" Keisuke asked.

"It's none of your damned business, so make sure you don't get in my way."

He then looked at me. "Let's go" When he was dragging me out of the classroom, Keisuke grabbed the back of my shirt and pulled me to his side and whistled.

"You're as scary as they say, Aomine-Sempai~"

I was dumbfounded. He just mocked him.

If these two clash, it'll be the end of the world, at least for me.

What am I gonna do now?

Wait a minute … I have detention! I'll get in trouble again, damn it!
