Chapter 4: Rivals or Lovers?

Today is another day. An ordinary day filled with humor, fun and happiness at school. An ordinary day to hear the school bell. An ordinary day to have fun and such. Just an ordinary day. No more, no less.

Come to think of it, don't we, students, get tired of this daily life? If only we're not required to study, we'll always be hanging out with our friends outside, go shopping, or use the computer all day.

Oh yeah, I'm one of those students who doesn't like going to school. Although, I get good grades. I'm not bullied or something. I don't like going to school because of a certain someone. He's actually my self-proclaimed rival. Well, wanna know who he is?

Shindou Takuto.

He's a prodigy in music, an intelligent man, and a handsome person. No wonder girls fall in love with him in an instant. But I really hate him. I hate him.

"[f/n]!" A certain brunette shouted as he walked through the corridors. I didn't mind him at all. "[f/n]!" Still got no response.

"For the last time, [f/n]!" I got irritated and faced him. "What do you need?" I said angrily. "Gonna be arrogant again, huh? I'm tired of your shit!"

We were always like this. There's this one time that a scolded the both of us and went to detention. It's all his fault! I'm always the one he blames. He never apologized. He IS my rival.

Then, the day of recognition came. Exam results are posted on the bulletin board near the teachers' faculty room. As soon as I arrived school, I went to see mine.

"Let's see...oh! I got 99!" I was so happy that I finally have something to show that evil rival of mine when suddenly...

"I'm sorry, [f/n] but I got 100." Shindou stated as he looked at me with such a depressed face. "It's unfair!" I rushed to our classroom since I want to avoid any commotion. I don't want to be in trouble again. As I sat down my chair, a classmate of mine with braided twin-tails approached me.

"Is there something wrong, [f/n]-san?" She asked as she took a picture.

"Akane...well, I really can't beat him." I gave a frown.

Akane took another picture. "You mean, Shin-sama? He's really a nice person. I don't think he'll hurt a girl."

He's nice? I told my conscience. "But he's always rude to me."

"Then, it's either you or him who's hiding something." My heart started to beat faster than the usual. "Y-you mean, love?"

"Exactly!" My cheeks were as red as a tomato. The braided girl took a third picture of me. The bell rang. Everyone went to their own seats and the classes started immediately.

As I was walking home, my phone suddenly rang. I immediately pulled it out of my pocket. The screen says 'Dad' so I clicked the 'Answer' button on the screen.

"H-hello Dad?"

'Ah [f/n]. Please go home immediately. You have a dinner to attend later so you need to prepare.'

"With whom?"

'Our partner company's president and his son. I thought that you may want to know him.'

"You what?! Well, okay. Just don't force me to make him my fiancee!"

After that I hung up. Jeez, why do I have to be an only daughter? Oh, brother.

As soon as I got home, I took a bath and find some nice outfit. My dad forced me to wear the beautiful black dress my mom bought for me. I wore some two-inch black high heels to prevent any complaints.

"Mistress, do you want me to do your hair?" A maid of mine kindly asked. "Please do so." She straightened my hair a bit and braided it ending with a black ribbon. "You look gorgeous, Mistress!" She was very glad with the look. "I do? Thank you!"

All set! I'm good to go!

"Mr. [l/n], you have a very beautiful daughter. I think that she suits my son." The man said.

"Oh yes, look at where she came from! A handsome father and a very gorgeous mother." My dad laughed.

I smelled the contents of the glass. "Dad, you know I don't drink wine."

"Well, what do you want, honey?" He asked. "Juice. Some juice suited for tonight's dinner."

"Waiter! Some juice please!" My order arrived in just a few minutes but the president's son hasn't arrived yet.

"My, what's taking him so long?" He said.

"I'm here, Dad." I turned my back and saw a familiar face which caused me to be in a state of shock.

"T-takuto?!" I can't help to shout since I'm shocked, okay?

"You know each other? Then that means you get along! Now enjoy each other's company." My father marveled.

Shindou sat in front of me, next to his father. "Now, please introduce yourselves to make this a formal dinner."

"I'm Shindou Takuto. It would be better if you would act nice, tonight. Don't let your beauty come to a waste this evening, [f/n]." Oh yeah he's right. I have to control myself. "You're beautiful in your outfit, [f/n]. It suits you."

"T-thank you, Shi─ I mean, Takuto. You also look handsome" I blushed and looked away.

The dinner started and the two men were still chit-chatting and Shindou was silent. Is he planning something? I asked myself.

"Now, now let's tell them why we invited them here. Since both our companies are in Japan's top list of the finest companies, we want our heirs to be in good terms. Both of you are intelligent and talented. And you didn't tell us that you're classmates! So, we planned a marriage for the two of you for the sake of our companies!" My dad explained happily. My eyes widened. Me, going to marry my rival? That's insane!

"I object, Dad. I don't agree."

"Honey, it's decided you can't─"

"Dad, I said I don't agree! Don't decide on my future!"

"Honey, I'm telling you, you can't─ [f/n]!"

"Dad, I don't want! I don't agree. That's my decision!" I pound the table and walked away. I realized that I was such a disgrace to my family.

"I'm sorry for my daughter's attitude. I'll make sure that she will understand."

"I apologize too, Mr. [l/n]. She doesn't want to marry me because...we're rivals." Shindou explained leaving the two men in shock. "I'll go fix this."

I was just outside, crying like a baby. "I hate Dad! I hate Shindou! I hate everyone!"

"What a crybaby. Jeez, [f/n]." I stared at the figure in front of me. It was Shindou.

"Go away." I ordered.

"I won't. I'll stay here. You know, you ruined the evening. I've always wanted to say something to you. I thought this was the best time to say it but your reaction a while ago made my heart shatter into pieces." Shindou, being dramatic and romantic, said. "I'm sorry if I hurted you, [f/n]. I can't forgive myself that I hurted a girl."

"Shindou..." I hugged him. "Shindou...I-I─" Before I could even finish my sentence, he pressed his lips onto mine. He held my head in order to deepen the kiss.

"I love you, [f/n]." My eyes widened. So Akane was right afterall. It was love.

"I love you too, Shindou." Then, we kissed again.

"So, you're my fiancee now?" He asked. "Definitely."

Rivals or Lovers? Well, both.

A/N: Gah! That was short! orz Well, how's it? Tell me! Review! Review! I like reviews!
