Chapter 24- Reconciliation part 1

A year later…

Westfield Opening Ceremony

"…and so for all the new and old students, please enjoy a productive year here in Westfield, thank you and good morning." Devon said.

Everyone clapped.

Devon bowed and left the stage, muttering under his breath as he reminisced about what occurred earlier.

Flashback:

Devon was leisurely reading in the class room when suddenly, the vice president of the student council appeared.

"Koshiba-kun?" The vice president, Haru Li, asked.

"Yes? Is there something you need?" The boy replied.

"Well, the Council president suddenly disappeared, leaving this note behind." The v.p stated, handing Devon the letter. "We will need your services."

To my Council Members:

I shall be taking a short break, so until further notice, I will be absent in my council responsibilities.

(P.S. This includes the opening ceremony, so better find somebody who is good at memorizing fast. Good Luck! )

Your awesome council president,

Kiseki Houamaki

He sweat dropped. I don't now how the school survived with this him. He thought.

"So why am I needed?" Devon asked.

"Well, the thing is... the Council members have talked about it already, and all are in favour of this decision. For today, you'll be taking the role of the Student Council President." Haru said.

"I decline." He said flatly and resumed reading his book.

The vice president got down on his knees. "Please! Koshiba-kun, the opening ceremony will be ruined. Please please do it!" He begged.

Devon Koshiba twitched. He's that desperate?

Devon cocked his head to the side. "Wait, why can't you do it?"

Haru covered his face with his hand and looked away coyly. "I'm too shy." He said.

An angry vein appeared in Devon's head. "You idiot." The ice caster said. "Fine, I'll do it."

End of flashback.

Devon scowled. "When I get my hands on Houamaki…"

"Devon!" a bubbly voice interrupted his thoughts. Devon turned around and saw his girlfriend, Mikan. His scowl was immediately replaced with a warm smile.

"Hey." He said.

She returned the smile. "Great speech, it seems you've captured the hearts of the new students."

A lot of the newcomers who were girls were already staring at Devon with hearts in their eyes. Ouji-sama….They said dreamily.

He sweat dropped. "Anyway, I'll catch up with you later at lunch, first I need to entertain the new students."

"Okay." The brunette said, giving the Devon a light peck on the cheek. "Good Luck." Mikan said smiling. He nodded. "Thanks."

Who knew that his job would be hard?

Accommodating all the new students, doing the extra paper work, entertaining the questions, whilst some new admirers chasing him.

"At last, I'm done." The ice caster said, heaving a sigh of relief. He jogged his way to the cafeteria.

He met up with Mikan and Yuki, and ate lunch.

"How was work?" Mikan asked, chewing on a sandwich.

He put down his water bottle. "Hectic." The boy answered.

After classes, the couple went to the lake; it had become their meeting place.

"Ah…this can really soothe you…" Mikan said stretching her arms.

Devon half smiled. "Indeed, it does." He said.

The brunette turned to face him. "I've been meaning to ask you… why do you like this place so much?" she asked.

Devon looked hesitant for a moment. "You see, my mother always brought me to the lake when I was younger, we would eat, relax and enjoy the scenery together, but that was until the accident happened…" he said, his eyes looking distant and wistful. "So you can say that this place reminds me of her, calm, peaceful and soothing."

"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have asked." Mikan said apologetically, feeling regretful asking the boy something depressing.

Devon shook his head. "It's alright, you don't need to apologize."

He stood up and held out his hand. "Come on, it's getting late, we should head back."

She nodded and took his hand. They walked back to the dorms.

Suddenly, somebody tapped Devon's shoulder. He turned his head and saw the teacher.

"Koshiba-kun, you have a phone call." She said.

He nodded. "Okay, you go on first Mikan."

The chocolate eyed girl nodded and headed back to the rooms, while Devon followed the teacher to the office.

"Hello?" The attractive boy said through the receiver.

"Devon…is that you? ….we need to talk." The voice said.

The boy's eyes widened.

"Dad?"
