Suzuka hugged me. "You are too, you silly girl, oh I wanted to tell you I met this amazing person called Gerard Walker and I think I'm in love." she cheered.
I cheered for her, my best friend found someone, "Yay! We have to hold a party." I laughed and so did Suzuka. But soon I noticed the shocked looks on Usui and Misaki's faces and it was almost as if they were frozen. Suzuka suddenly noticed too.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Di-did you just say Gerard Walker?" Usui asked shock evident in his voice...
Well hi guys! I'm really sorry it took me a week to update but I had so much to do I could barely breath so busy. Anyway I just woke up now and I decided to write another chapter today. So here it goes, but before that.
Devilish dream thanks for pointing out Usui's a little out of character I'm grateful and guys I hope you take this as an example. I really don't mind when you tell me if something is wrong or there's a mistake because we all learn from mistakes so please you can point out things for me because I'm terrible at spotting mistakes and wrong things so help me out here. :D
I won't keep you waiting any longer because I have been told I ramble A lot! So I will do us all a favour by shutting up.

Misaki P.O.V
Did I just hear her right? Did she seriously just say Gerard Walker! No that is impossible, it must be someone else. Someone with the same name...yeah that must be it. Right!? I looked at Usui and his face and body was frozen. Oh this must be such a shock to him. "Yeah I did, why is something wrong?" asked Jia. By the sound of her voice I snapped out of my trance, and I quickly shook my head. "No not at all, it's just eh...it's just..." I didn't know what to say.
"It's just we know someone with the same name that's all." Usui quickly interjected. I looked up at him in worry. She didn't notice the look in his eyes though. "Oh ok that's cool I guess. Anyway, Awi-chan, come on let me tell you about him!" suggested Jia pulling Awi-chan with her far away from us. Awi-chan looked back at us and gave us an apologetic smile but then she waved and ran after Jia.
After they were gone I looked back at Usui, he noticed and he looked back at me. I knew what he was thinking, and he knew what I was thinking. "It has nothing to do with me, who he dates, and it isn't important that were step-brothers." Usui said answering my silent questions. I sighed, "But who would have thought that he would have fallen for someone so easily." Usui shrugged, "Well its better this way, now he'll leave us alone." Usui said winking at me. I couldn't help but smile and blush a little at his actions. "I guess you're right." Usui reached for my hand and laced our fingers together.
"Let's go you have more work to do right?" he asked knowingly. I nodded. "yeah." And we started to walk in the direction of my council room and Usui's hang out room.
"Oh Usui, you are not coming in." Usui looked at me, "You're really sly Ayuzawa." He said, I ignored his remark as I continued walking. "You know why I'm not letting you in." I said. Usui suddenly pulled me back in his arms, so now my chest was against his back. He circled his arms tightly around my waist and he whispered something in my ear. "Yeah, it's because I'm a distraction right?" he asked suggestively. I shivered at the feeling of his breath on my skin. My face started to redden. "Shut up idiot!" I insulted him. Usui just laughed but he released me. Then he started to walk a head of me. but realizing I wasn't walking with him he turned back around and held out his hand.
"Come on, or do you hate me now?" he asked smiling slyly. I blushed; he knew it was the exact opposite. I really hate you Usui.
"I hate you Usui." I lied. Usui chuckled, "We're going back to the shy Misaki." he said, but he was smiling. I walked towards him and took his hand. "Shut up idiot."
We started to walk again. I noticed Jia laughing with Awi-chan, probably talking about Gerard. I wonder what really is going on. Are they going out? Or is it her who just fell in love with him?
Gerard P.O.V
"Damn that girl who does she think she is?" I slouched on my chair and sighed. Cedric chuckled at my misfortune, I looked up and glared at him, that soon shut him up.
"Sir, why do you dislike this young female so much?" Cedric asked me. "Because she is not Misaki." I answered truthfully. Cedric looked at me sympathy evident in his expression. "Sir, you should give up on her." Cedric suggested. I shook my head. "I don't want to; I just like her too much." I said again and thoughts of Misaki entered my mind. The way she smiles, the way she blushes, the way she gets angry and shouts. How strong she is...I had Cedric spy on her remember. She really intrigues me. I really like her. But sadly she is in love with my step-brother Usui.
"Sir, Gerard why don't you fall in love with this Jia girl." Suggested Cedric. I shook my head annoyed. "It doesn't work like that, besides she doesn't really love me, she just says she does." I said sighing in frustration.
"Sir, I really don't think that's the case here." Cedric said smiling.
"Shut up Ceddy." He frowned. "Fine sir but at least let me say, you might just miss a girl who will really love you." He said then he walked out closing the door behind him. What was with him? I don't get him sometimes. Besides I'm right, she doesn't really love me. She's just like all the other girls. Their only after my money after that they'll live me.
Memory
"Jia Suzuka." That's the girls name; her step-granddad is friends with my granddad. I met her last night at another celebration party. She was drinking by the fountain, not talking to many people. I'm guessing she wasn't really rich or famous. I was walking past her when suddenly she grabbed my arm and pulled me towards an empty table. I jerked my hand away but she was just smiling. "Sorry, but I needed someone around my age to talk to. I only came because my step-granddad made me come." she said sipping her drink. "This party is so boring."
"You're right I don't like it either but I have to come since I am the son's host." She gasped. "Oh I'm sorry if I sounded rude. " I shook my head, "No I don't care." She sighed in relief. "Tell me your name." she ordered but she was smiling. "Isn't it rude to ask for someone else's name without giving theirs first?" I said. She shrugged. "I'm not rich and I don't care about those things. But if you really want to know my name first, it's Jia Suzuka. "
"Gerard Walker." I said. She smiled, "It's nice to meet you."
"Why do you smile so much?" I asked, because it kind of creped me out. How can someone be so happy, all the time? "I like to smile. Why don't you smile more often?" She asked sipping her drink again. "Why are you so nosy?" I asked frowning. "I'm curious about you that's all."
"Curiosity killed the cat, besides you only just met me." I said frowning. I didn't like how she seemed so interested in me. Is it because she knows I'm rich?
"Well at least the cat died in an honourable and memorable way right?" she said grinning. I sighed there really is no helping this girl.
"I'm going."
"Were?"
"It has nothing to do with you." I said a little coldly. I'm sorry but I don't want that girl to get too close. Because in the end she'll leave me or use me for my money like everyone else did. I started to walk away but she shouted something back.
"Bye Gerard, I hope I can see you again soon, Oh and it's no healthy to push everyone away." I turned around and she winked at me. Then she started to walk away. Leaving me behind wondering what just happened and how she realized what I was doing. That girl is really weird.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door that snapped me out of my day dream. I figured it must be Cedric so I called 'come in.' But what surprised me was, it wasn't Cedric. It was Jia Suzuka. She walked in closing the door behind her. "What are you doing here?" I asked frowning as I looked at her. She smiled, "You're butler told me to come here." She said. I frowned clenching my fists. Damn you Cedric. I'm so getting you back for this. "You didn't really answer my question." I stated. She rolled her eyes. "I came here to talk with you." She said smiling again. "Why?" I asked, I was really confused, why was she putting so much effort here. "You interest me that's why." I raised my eyebrow. "I know you're type, something happened in the past, and you closed in. Not letting anyone come close to you. Because you're scared of them leaving you again." I was shocked. How did she know that much by simple just talking to me. "By the look on your face I'm guessing I was right." She said smiling. She walked towards me and sat on my bed directly opposite of me. "How do you know so much about a person by just talking to them?"
"It's a talent people say. I'm good at observing body language and the things people say." She said shrugging like it was no big deal. I sighed. "Well you got me, but I'm not planning to let anyone in so you should just give up."
"You're really a bid idiot, you know that." I frowned. She really was so rude. "You shouldn't call people idiots."
"Well I don't but I'm making an exception because you clearly are one. Listen I don't know what happened and I'm not going to ask because it has nothing to do with me. But why are you making yourself suffer so much?"
"I'm not making myself suffer." I stated glaring at her. She chuckled, "Yeah right, believe me you are, because soon you will miss a chance at happiness."
"You shouldn't think that everyone will leave you." She stated bluntly. "You shouldn't be so interested in me. " I said coldly. She walked towards me and hit my head. "Idiot, there you go again, stop beating yourself up about the past." I glared at her. "Why did you hit me?"
"Because you seriously need to wake up from whatever nightmare you're dreaming about."
"Look I like you ok, you seem really nice so stop being so damn annoying."
"You're bossy you know that." I said rubbing my head. She sat back down and smiled. "Well I take it as a good thing."
"Hey Gerard do you go to school?" she asked me. I shook my head. "No I have a tutor at home." I answered. She sighed. "Oh right, I go to school. It's actually not that far from here, it's called Seika High school."
Jia's P.O.V
Gerard seemed to choke at the name Seika High. "What's wrong?" he started to cough violently. So I quickly jumped of the bed and patted his back comfortingly. It seemed to help a little but he continued to cough. So I pulled on his arm and surprisingly he let me steer him towards his bed. He lay down and I tucked him in.
He seemed to finally calm down after this. I looked around and I sat on the chair that he was sitting on just a minute ago.
"Thank you." I smiled, "No problem, but are you ok, are you sick?" I asked genuinely worried for him. He shook his head. "I have an unknown illness. You go to Seika High?" he asked me, changing the subject right away, I didn't want to ask him about this illness and it seemed he didn't want to talk about it either so I nodded "I know it's mainly a boy's school but there are a lot of girls there too." I said, figures he must be shocked because it used to be an all-boys school. I'm guessing that's why he chocked. I mean someone like him would probably have never heard about that school except for the bad reputation it had. And how it was an all-boys school until fairly recently.
"The people are really nice and welcoming, I started three weeks ago and thanks to our prez Misaki and Usui her boyfriend I was welcomed in really nicely." I said. But the look on his face surprised me. His expression changed from happiness to anger in a split second. "What's wrong do you know them?" I asked. He looked at me but then he shook his head. "No why would you think that?" he asked innocently. Was he testing me? "Nothing I guess." I said. He relaxed.
"You're really irritating." He said looking into my eyes. I sighed in frustration. "I thought we were having such a nice chat just a minute ago. What the hell?" He shrugged closing his eyes. "I don't know what you're talking about." He said. I give up this guy is unbelievable. But the more he pushes me away the more I want to figure him out.
"You know the more you push me away the more I will be interested in you." I stated simply standing up. He opened his eyes and looked at me. "You're really weird you know that." He smiled softly but only for a split second making me wonder if I really had seen him smile at all. Suddenly my heart skipped a beat.
What was that? Why did that just happen? He looked so relaxed and nice when he smiles. My heart skipped another beat just thinking about him. Damn don't tell me...
"I'm going you should sleep." I stated after I regain my composure. He nodded silently his eyes already closed. I continued to look at him and soon he fell asleep. I slowly, silently stepped towards him. I looked down on his face. His eyelashes were so long. He really looked so happy in his sleep.
I really couldn't help myself here no matter what I tried I couldn't resist the urge of kissing his forehead softly.
"Good night Gerard." I muttered. Then I walked silently out of the room. I closed the door behind me. Then I turned around and leaned my back against the door and looked up.
"Oh god, I think I've fallen in love."
The next day
Gerard P.O.V
I woke up and I found myself in bed. Soon thoughts of Jia entered my mind. Damn that girl is so irritating. I heard a knock on the door and in came Cedric. I frowned at the sight of him. "Why did you do that?" I asked angrily.
"Do what Gerard?" he asked innocently. "Why did you tell Jia to come in here?" I asked folding my arms. Cedric chuckled. "Did you have a nice chat Gerard, and to answer your question: Because you have to forget about Misaki and I think Jia is a wonderful girl." Cedric said smiling.
"I didn't ask for your opinion! And I don't want to give up on Misaki."
Cedric laughed. "Sir if you want to be lonely forever then carry on but Misaki is with Usui, you know that right?"
"I do but I-"
"Just give up ok. Oh and there's another party tonight. And Jia Suzuka is coming too."
"Argh. why?" Cedric chuckled at my frustration. "She asked to come and her step-granddad is delighted and finally happy that she wants to come willingly." Cedric explained. "And I'm guessing she wants to come for you." Cedric said then he looked at me and left the room smiling mischievously.
I'm going to hate this so much. I just know it.
Jia Suzuka P.O.V
"I'm going tonight to see him again." I said to Awi-chan as we started to walk from school. Awi-chan cheered and hugged me. "I'm so happy for you. What are you going to wear?" she asked me. I ginned. "I don't know but you do?" she looked at me confusingly and I laughed slinging my arm around her shoulder. "Will you help me; I know you love dressing up." I said. And she gasped hugging me. "Thank you I'm so happy you want me to help." I grinned. "You're my best friend right?" I said. She nodded happily and we continued walking to my house. Were the transforming was going to be done.
Jia's home
"I'm home." I shouted hoping someone would hear me. "Welcome back dear." My mom said coming in and smiling at us. "Hello Awi-chan come inside." She had already met her. "Hello Mrs Suzuka. Sorry for intruding in your home." My mom laughed, "Oh dear please call me Aye, the 'Mrs' makes me feel so old." My mom chuckled. Awi-chan smiled but nodded. "Mom we're going to my room to get ready when granddad comes call me ok." I said. My mom nodded. "Ok I'll bring some snacks." My mom said running into the kitchen. Awi-chan and I started to walk up the stairs and into my room.
I opened the door and I closed the door behind us. I dropped my bag and Awi-chan did the same. "Ok check through that closet and tell me which dress you like best." I said sitting on my bed. Awi-chan smiled and opened the closet. Then she gasped. "Jia, these dresses are so beautiful, and there's so many." I nodded, "Yeah my granddad has been trying to make me go to those dance parties since the day he came into this family. And that was years ago. Believe me I never said yes but he continued to buy me dresses and now finally when I said yes he seemed so delighted, you should have seen him." Awi-chan giggled, she took out as many dresses as she could carry and put them on the bed.
She took out all my makeup items and placed them on the bed and then she took all my hair products and straightener and curler and too put them on the table.
"Ok let's begin." She ordered and I chuckled at her seriousness. "Let's begin." I copied her. She looked at me and grinned.
Five hours later at the party
Gerard P.O.V
I was introduced to many new people who knew my granddad and my family. I just politely talked to them before being guided to the next group of people. Luckily Cedric was with me the whole time and it gave me joy to know he hated this kind of stuff too. After what he did yesterday I deserve my fun. "I'm Gerard walker it's a pleasure to have you here tonight." I repeated to the many people I had met today. This is so tiring.
After I was done I sat down at an empty table, Cedric had left me to go get drinks. I sighed in relief. I had met more than a hundred people tonight and this was only the start of the party. Damn these people, don't you have anything better to do than come here and want to be introduced to us. The only person that didn't come tonight was Igarashi; I thought he would come...oh wait that's right his family is hosting their own party. Suddenly I felt warm arms wrap around my shoulders.
"Are you lonely Gerard?" teased Jia. I sighed pulling her arms off me. "You really appear at random times don't you?" Although I admit I'm a little happy she came. It was getting so boring I needed someone my age to talk to. She started to walk into my view and I mentally gasped. She was wearing a one shoulder purple dress that reached mid-thigh. She had on a purple necklace and purple earrings. She had on a little makeup, lipstick, eyeliner and mascara. She was wearing purple high-heels to match her dress. She looked beautiful if I do say so myself. Her hair was curled naturally to the side. And the bangs that usually hanged naturally, was clipped to the side. She smiled, "Do you like the dress?" she asked a little nervously. I couldn't lie even if I wanted to.
"Yeah you look great." She smiled in relief then she sat down opposite me. "Is that a compliment I hear from Gerard." She teased. I rolled my eyes. "I'm not going to lie to you that would be immature." I admitted truthfully. She laughed. "I guess so." I joined in with her laughter; her laugh was contagious. Suddenly I heard a coughing sound and I looked around to find Cedric smiling down at me knowingly. Damn I know what he is thinking.
"Sir I brought drinks. Here you go Miss Jia." He said handing her a drink and he gave me one too. "I must leave I don't want to interrupt any further." Cedric gave me one last sly smile and left. I sighed, he is going to tease me about this forever.
Suddenly I heard Jia groan. I looked at her and frowned, "What's wrong?" She was looking down at her dress, "I spilled my drink on my dress." She stated standing up. "Hang on I'll be right back, wait here ok." I nodded and she quickly hurried off to clean herself up.
Jia P.O.V
I accidently spilled my drink on my dress. Damn it was my fault for not concentrating. I was just busy admiring him and thinking about Gerard when...splash...dress is all wet. I quickly reached for a towel to dap at the stain hoping it will lessen it. Luckily the stain disappeared but my dress was still a little wet. "Oh well it will dry, I'm glad it didn't stain though. " I took one last dap at it before leaving the restroom and walking back to Gerard.
But what surprised me was, the number of girls sitting around him. They were flirting and talking to him but they were only talking to him about his money and how wonderful he looked. Now I get why he believes people only care about his money.
It was so obvious they were only after his money and fame that I actually pitied them because they weren't going to go anywhere like that. He didn't like girls like that I can tell by his expression. I walked towards them and smiled amusingly.
"Do you have any business with my date here?" I asked folding my arms. Some of the girls shook their heads and backed off looking for other guys to entertain while three girls stayed behind.
"Yeah we do." said one of them. I laughed, "Like trying to get close to him for money, let me guess you are the type that doesn't fall in love easily but you have fallen in love with money and material things. I'm also guessing you use the oldest trick in the book to get what you want and to trick guys into falling for you." But I wasn't done yet I could guess a whole lot about her. "You have made most of the guys here fall for you and now you're looking for the best prize to snatch and then you leave him and make him earn for you am I right?" she looked shocked, "Oh and you once tried to fall in love, you were hurt and now you don't care about love or anyone's feelings because you think everyone deserves the same thing that happened to you." Now she was so shocked she fell over. "How did you- how? Why?" she stood back up and quickly walked away. "I'm out of here that girl is nuts." And her two followers quickly ran after her. I sighed and I slouched back in the chair I was sitting on. I hadn't seen his expression yet. "Why did you do that?" he asked me. I looked up and I smiled. "Because they looked they were bothering you." I answered. Gerard stood up. "Please leave me alone, how do you know I was bothered by them, you don't know anything about me and my life." he walked away leaving me behind. Man that boy is so immature. I sighed, standing up and following him to his room. Before he could shut the door I quickly entered closing the door behind us.
"Why are you angry?" I asked. Gerard ignored me just sitting down on his bed. I walked towards him and sat down next to him. "You're being immature, I was just helping."
"Well stop helping please." Gerard pleaded. "Why?" I asked. He sighed, "Because you're irritating me." He shouted out. "Why am I irritating you?" I asked calmly. I really wanted to know why he despised me so much. "Because you're different you're not like the others and that bothers me." I smiled I was glad we were getting somewhere. I grabbed his head and gently placed him on my lap. "And what else?" I asked. I was glad he didn't protest about my actions. "I was in love with this girl but now I barely think of her at all ever since I met you I've stopped thinking so much about her." I couldn't help but smile that meant something right?
"What was her name?" I asked I was a little curios. "Misaki Ayuzawa." My eyes widened, "Wait that's- she has a boyfriend you know that right?" He nodded, "Yeah Usui Takumi or rather Usui Walker." I gasped what did he say? "Usui is my little step-brother." He answered my silent questions. He sighed but then he started to speak.
"My mother had an affair with Usui's dad then she died giving birth to Usui." Gerard explained. "I used to hate Usui so much because I found out and it ruined everything and it pained my dad but now I forgave him and Yuu; that's Usui's dad by the way and my dad forgave them too." I nodded understandingly. "Usui's dad used to be a butler working for my mom; it wasn't either their fault it just happened I guess. They fell in love. After all my mom loved my dad but she wasn't in love with him. She was in love with Yuu." I nodded hugging him telling him he didn't need to say more; this was more than I could have hoped for. And now it all made sense. Usui and Misaki's expressions when I told them I had fallen in love with Gerard Walker. "Now it makes sense." I said, he looked at me in bewilderment, "what does?" he asked me. I bit my lip. Oh great now I would have to tell him I liked him. "Well in school I talked about you a little to my best friend Awi-chan, Usui and Misaki and they looked so shocked but now I know why?" I said quickly. I didn't exactly lie I just didn't say what I said to them. Gerard got off my lap and he sat back down next to me.
"What did you say about me?" He asked curiously. I smiled nervously, "Curiosity killed the cat."
"I guess he died in an honourable and memorable way right?" Gerard repeated the words I said laughing. I chuckled. "Ok fair enough." He looked at me, "well tell me then?" I bit my lip there was no way out of this one. "I- I told them that I-I...Oh heck with this. I told them that I had fallen for you. There happy?" I was ready to jump and make a run for it but sadly Gerard grabbed my hand. I think he figured I was going to run for it. Damn it all. "Very." He mumbled. My eyes widened. "What?" I looked back at him and he was blushing. Wow that's a first. "I said very." He repeated himself. I chuckled, "Oh no I heard you the first time I was just checking." I said smiling. Gerard hit me on the head. "Idiot." he mumbled. I laughed. "See now the tables are turned I hit you before and now you hit me."
"That makes us even." He said smiling amusingly. I chuckled. "I guess it does." He pulled me back and he smiled at me. "Gerard does this mean you fell for me too?" I said bluntly grinning. Gerard nodded. "Yeah." I stepped closer to him. "When?" I asked. "I knew I did when you were talking to all those girls telling them to leave." I smiled stepping closer again. "When did you fall for me then?" he asked. I blushed, "well remember we were talking in this room yesterday; I think around the time when you fell asleep." I admitted. Gerard laughed. "But I was horrible to you." He said. I shook my head. "I know that, but I also knew you had your reasons for that; by your body language I could tell you weren't horrible from the heart you just acted that way to protect yourself." He smiled intertwining our fingers together. "You're really good at reading people." He complimented. "Thank you." The gap between us was closing. We leaned in one last time and his lips were nicely on mine. We were kissing. I could feel the fireworks, the roller coaster...blah, blah, blah the whole thing, as cheesy and clichéd that sounds. But hey if you were kissing the person you loved for the first time you would feel the same or similar anyway. Gerard wrapped his arms around my waist and I wrapped mine around his neck. After kissing for a long time we pulled apart just smiling at each other.
"I feel so good finally having broken you're protective shield." I said grinning. Gerard rolled his eyes and pecked my lips. "Kudos to you Jia." I grinned. "I haven't said it but I love you Gerard."
"I love you too Jia Suzuka and I guess I'm glad someone came and broke this so called shield."
So, what do you think? I'm sorry Usui and Misaki barely came in this chapter I'm really sorry anyway I'm also sorry if Gerard seemed out of character but it was needed for this chapter. Oh Devilish dream helped me with the plot so give credits to her guys. Well done devilish dream I hope you liked this chapter and tell me if I need to sort more things out. Oh next chapter Jia will reveal that her and Gerard are dating to Usui and Misaki.
Oh and did I do a little better with Usui's character this time? If I didn't please tell me because I really want to nail his character and make it as similar as possible oh and another surprise. A very funny familiar character will appear next chapter; Devilish dream you asked for him so I hope you know who I'm talking about and the rest of you guys it is a surprise. :D
Oh and a few more new characters will appear in the next chapter so keep watch for them. :D
Thank you and bye, bye for now. :D
