Rein's POV

"Reiiiiiiinnn."

I looked up from my work. "Emily, you're scaring me. I'm trying to think of some good ideas for the next Academy News," I said to the pale blond haired girl, but the truth is I can't really think about anything except Bright-sama. It's not like I like him, right? "So what is it?" I shouldn't think about that now. Focus on the Academy News.

"You're partners with that Bright person right?"

"Yeah." I started tapping my pencil. Let's see, a new topic that's something different than anything that we've ever done before. We've done touching feeling reports, club reports, and segments on questions and problems that students have and fashion related things, but I think that we should do something else. Something completely different, but what?

"Then will you introduce me to to him?"

I dropped my pencil. As it rolled off I said, "Is there a reason that you're asking me? Altezza is his little sister, so she could introduce you." What is she thinking? More importantly, what's this feeling that I have?

"But Altezza is always busy doing something else and..." I noticed that she looked around and then whispered. "I think that I like him. Isn't he like the perfect prince? He's cute and really nice. so can you please help me?"

"I..." What am I saying?

"Rein, what are you doing here? Right now you're not suppose to be doing club activities."

"Headmistress." Wow, she came at a good time. "What do you mean by that? Shouldn't most of the students right now be in club activities?" Now that I think about it, she always comes at unexpected or really convenient times. It almost scares me. Doesn't she have any work to do?

"Yes, but you're an exception, because you're helping another student, I would expect for you not to have as much energy as you normally do. You don't have to do club activities if you don't have the energy for it," she explained. "And today you seem a little tired, so you should take a break. If you over work yourself, it's not good. "

"Now that you mention it, I am a bit more tired than normal. That sounds like a good idea," I said as I stood up. "Then Emily, if anyone asks please let them know that I'm going to take a break for a while, so I can't be on the Academy News for a bit."

"Alright," Emily said smiling at me.

"Thank you." I walked out of the room. Maybe some fresh air will be good for me.

"Rein," the Headmistress said as she with with me through the hallway. "Is there something that you're worrying about? Normally wouldn't you have answered that question quickly?"

"I would've..." But I honestly don't know how I feel. It's confusing, I know that he broke Fine's heart and that I really shouldn't care about what he does, but I can't stop this feeling. The feeling that I thought I forgot about all those years ago with Shade.

"Well, tonight don't stay up late and get plenty of rest," She advised. I nodded. That should be a good idea. "And Rein, if you have any problems, it's not always a good idea to keep them to yourself."

"I'll take note of it." Even through she says that... THERE'S NO WAY THAT I CAN TELL FINE ABOUT THIS! If I say that I might like Bright-sama, she'll never trust me again. For now, I guess I'll just keep this a secret until I actually know how I feel.

I.. smell something good. I looked up to see that I was right in front of the cooking room. Should I tell Fine about what the Headmistress said to me? But then again, she always has a lot of energy and refuses to miss even one club meeting because all the other members barely come. Then before I knew it the door suddenly opened and Fine's head popped out. "Rein, what are you doing?"

"I...um..." I can't think of a good excuse.

"Do you want to come in? We just finished the berry tarts and there's extra. Come on," she said as she took my hand and dragged me in. I saw a mountain of tarts. How many did they make? But then again Milky and Fine eat a lot. How don't they get fat from it?

"Ah Rein, it's been a while," Milky said as she came from behind the tart mountain. "Are you going to join us?"

"I guess so." She handed me a plate with a few of the tarts. It really looks good. But it's weird that Milky can only make sweets and not anything else. The porridge that I made with her one time was bubbling purple. Good thing no one ate it, but I can't say the same for the plant that we poured it in.

"Now, Milky," Fine said with a glint in her eye. "Let's start!"

"I'm not losing to you," Milky said. Then they started eating as quickly as they could. Is this what they do everyday? Oh well, time to eat.I took a bite of the strawberry tart. Fine's really getting better at this stuff.

The door opened and Bright-sama and Shade came in. "Milky, what's with these directions?"

"Ah, Oni-sama," Milky said while stopping to eat. "Did you want to join our tart eating contest?"

"That's not it," he quickly said."You told me to come to your club, and you gave me a recipe instead of the directions. Then I had to get Bright out of his club meeting to help me find out where this is."

"Ah, that explains what happened to my macaroon recipe. Fine, tomorrow we should make macaroons," she said ignoring her brother's anger aura. "Thank you for helping me decide, Oni-sama."

"That sounds like a good idea! They're pretty quick to make so we can make a lot in the time that takes to make say a batch of cupcakes."

"Milky..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, here's a tart to make you feel better," she said as she held out a tart. "Fine, should this be a tie again? I wasn't keeping track again."

"Then it's a tie, just like always and then tomorrow we're going to have a macaroon eating contest. It's sure to be delicious again, too bad the other club members don't come that much. It would be even more fun and there would be even more food."

"Then everyday it would be amazingly fun with a lot of food to eat!" Even through they're 2 years apart, they get along so well cause they're so alike. "Rein are you going to come tomorrow too?"

"Maybe. I just came by today because I was a little tired from my club."

"Well then, I'll make extras for Fine to take with her. If you get tired, sweets things are good you know, that's why I always eat them!"

"Thank you, Milky." She's such a nice person, why does she have a brother like that through? I really need to stop thinking about that. But I can't fully erase it from my head. The pain from that day, still hurts, even through I promised myself that I would get stronger.

"Milky, you're pretty good at this. No wonder you won Best Sweets Princess," Bright-sama said.

"Altezza would've won through... but I'm happy that you like it." Then she turned to her brother with a weird smile. "By the way, Oni-sama I heard that you were partners with Fine. If my brother does anything weird, I'll apologize for him."

"I'll take note of it," Fine said as she started to eat another tart.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing really... probably," Milky said. looking somewhere else. Then an argument broke out.

"Let's take now to escape," Bright-sama whispered as he grabbed my hand and took me out of the room. He didn't say anything for a while as we walked for a bit. "I wanted to see Altezza, but I don't know where her club is, can you help me?"

Even through it 's wrong... "Sure, it's just down the next hall." Can't I hold onto this hand just a little longer?

Fine's POV

Nothing's going through my head. I can't focus on my homework like this. Rein said that she'll be in Altezza's room with Sophie making decors until around 8 or something. I spent the next hour, finishing. Done at last. Homework's done, I can rest. I lied on my bed, staring at the ceiling.

Around 8 years ago I was in love with Shade, but I didn't know until the moment that he confessed to Rein. I can't believe that Rein actually said yes. I thought that she was in love with Bright but then Bright asked me to be his girlfriend. I had actually fell for him and got my heart broken. Now, I feel nothing for Bright but my feelings for Shade are still here. Rein's going to murder me if she found out through. She was so hurt. She was always tired, never ate, and was practically killing herself over that love.

~Flashback~Time~

I looked at the tray that was full of untouched food. "Rein, you have to eat. This isn't good for you. At least try eat a little."

She looked at me lifelessly. "I throw up immediately after I eat. I can't eat without feeling completely sick after," she said in a hoarse voice. "Fine, how did you get over this so quickly? It's only been about two weeks. Did it not hurt as much for you?"

I spent the first week crying with her, barely eating and going out of the room. "It hurts, more than you could think." I felt my voice getting stronger as I said,"But I realized that I shouldn't just let him do this to me. I'm not going to act like a baby that can't do anything but cry."

"Then what are you going to do? I doubt that we'll see them again, since I heard from Altezza that they started going to school in another planet last week."

"I don't know what I'm going to do yet. But I can't stay like that forever and neither can you." She just stared at me not saying anything. I gently took her hands. "We're going to get through this and we're going to get revenge on them, but in order to do anything we have to be stronger."

A faint smile played around her lips. "Then we'll make a promise to each other that should never be broken. We'll both get stronger together and when the time comes we'll help each other get revenge. Promise?"

"It's a promise. Now, let's get you some sweets."

I took off the gold brooch that I always wore on my chest, that matched Rein's. We had both swore that promise on these decors that Mother had given us, so I can't break that promise. I can't betray my own sister. I should just let my feelings die and bury them to the point where they'll never be alive again. But... I think that I like him too much to do something like that. Even through he was the one who had once broken Rein.

I sat up on my bed and untied one of my pigtails. I looked at the ribbon. Pink with white frills. Before they were just a plain yellow. My eyes wandered to my shoes on the ground, I used to only wear shoes that were simply easy to run in, now it's only heels. How long have I been a person like this?
