C 11: Curiosity
Three days ago, I was just living in my normal daily life and then now, at the age of 18 I'm already married. Staring at the wedding picture on the wall, I still can't believe that I'm going to be living my whole life with this guy whom I barely know. But as much this is against my will, I have to endure it. This is for my father; I don't want to embarrass him.
Two days had passed since our wedding and during that time, all I did was to stay inside our house. My father said that he's already fixed my files for school. So to say, I'm just waiting for my father and the school to call.
Afternoon came; my phone rang and knew that it was my father calling. On the line he told me that I could already start going to school tomorrow and told me that Mr. Akashi's secretary is going to pick me up in an hour so that I could take a tour at Rakuzan.
Ending the call, I changed my clothes and decided to stay casual yet still presentable look. I decided to let my hair flow across my back and wore my shoes. Just in time, the car came as well as the secretary. "Good afternoon Masaki-san, I'm Yanagi Mika, nice to meet you." I smiled at the petite girl and bowed, "Pleased to meet you too."
As I got inside the secretary started telling me about the basic information, rules, and the students in the school. I just nodded to everything she said, not really giving a care.
When we arrived, I just followed the secretary to wherever she was leading me and introduced myself to whom she brings to me. "Masaki-san, you could explore if you want. And if you happen to bump into Bocchama, tell him that his father said you can't tell anyone that you two are married."
My eyes widened in shock and turned to her bewildered, "Eh?" the secretary pushed up her glasses, "The president seems to like it private first."
"U-um. Okay." I smiled at her and waved good bye.
As expected of Rakuzan, this school has such a strong aura. Their entrance gate is wide and the buildings are well built. The students here also have an impregnable around them; well that's what you likely expect from people who came from an elite family.
I stopped on my tracks when I heard dribbling, Basketball. I felt my heart flutter and went directly to the gym. I peeked inside, and there I saw players going on a practice game. As my eyes wandered across the gym, I spotted him standing. He has his jersey placed on his shoulders, as if it was a cape; he seems to be observing them.
So should I approach him or just continue with my exploration? Well if I would approach him that would just cause more thinking. Yep, maybe I should just continue on my exploration and not bother him. That would cause no harm or embarrassment.
"LOOK OUT!"
I spun around to check what the commotion was about, and was surprised to see a basket ball coming right at me. And before I knew it someone pulled me, I opened my eyes to see a boy with long black hair shielding me from the ball. In his other hand he hold the ball, did he just stopped the ball with his hand?!
"Are you alright?"
I nodded as het let go of me, "Th-Thank you." He smiled at me and leveled his face with mine, "Pretty girls like you should be more careful." I felt my face burn up and avoided his gaze. He chuckled and stood up on his height.
"Masaki-san, what are you doing here?" I quickly turn to the owner of the voice, "Your father sent me here with his secretary." His eyes bored into mine, not uttering a word. I'm not sure whether he's not pleased of seeing me here or if he's confused. I'll go with the first thought though. He averted his eyes from me, and looked at the guy beside me "I see. I'm going to change. Wait here." I nodded at him and watched his figure disappear.
Then suddenly a boy with orange hair broke the awkward silence, "So are what are you to Akashi?" I found myself dumbfounded on the question, how am I supposed to answer this? I just can't blurt out that I'm his wife especially when I'm told not to. And no way can I say that I'm his girlfriend that would be awkward.
"Uhmm.. Our dads are business partners.. Yeah, that's it." They just stared at me and silence follows.
"Oi. Kotaro, don't forget that you were the one who almost hit her with the ball." The guy beside me saved me from the awkward silence which I thank badly. Then the guy in front of me suddenly started panicking. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" I smiled at his weirdness and introduced myself. "It's okay. It's just natural for you going into the heat of the game. I'm Masaki Harumi. Nice to meet you." His eyes sparkled like a kid, and grabbed my hand. "I'm glad. I'm Hayama Kotaro. Nice to meet you."
Our conversation ended, when Akashi appeared on his uniform, "Masaki-san, let's go." I nodded at him and bowed to his team mates, "It was nice meeting you."
On our way back, he was walking at least five steps ahead of me. this made me look like a puppy following its cold hearted owner. Plus his popularity didn't help at all, every student was looking on our way. they were looking at me like who's-that-girl, what's-an-outsider-doing-here, and worst of all is-that-Akashi-sama's-stalker.
But I do wonder how people here see Akashi? Is he also like this in school? Does he even talk to them? Or is he like in the movies where the guy is cold guy on the outside but warm on the inside? It makes me curious.
I was brought back to Earth when I collided on something warm and hard. "Umff… Wha?" I looked up to see Akashi staring at me, he was looking at me with those cold and piercing eyes of his. I gulped and looked around anywhere but him and was quite shocked when we were the only ones left in the hallway. "Uhmm.. I'll go outside and meet with Mika-chan and go home." I walked pass him when he suddenly grabbed my arm.
"Thanks." And with that he left me alone confused at the hallway, but something caught my interest more. I looked up at his vanishing figure and if my vision is clear, I think I just saw him smile.
