"Well, well, well! If it isn't Suzune Horikita - with Kiyotaka Ayanokōji as usual!"

Kikyō Kushida pressed her back against the wall to keep herself concealed from the two students in her class. Her purple eyes narrowed as she watched the cold aloof girl sitting on the bench alongside the emotionless boy she often concerned with. Not even the evening shadows which the blonde was staying inside could hide the mask she wore to conceal her true nature.

"So you'll gladly sit with Ayanokōji, but you won't even give me the time of day? I see how it is…"

Kushida was speaking in a low tone to avoid being heard by the students she was spying on. She had dropped the high-pitched cheerful act she often put on when talking to her classmates - which was completely fake. The scathing comments she was passing under her breath were being made in her real venomous voice.

"So you don't wanna be friends with me, Horikita? Well fine then. It's not as if I actually like you. In fact, bitch, I absolutely hate you…"

A wicked smile twisted its way across Kushida's face. It contrasted with the false cheerful one she wore around her schoolmates. Her eyes glistened ambitiously as she observed the other girl, smirking in her sinister manner.

"Don't get too comfortable here at this school. You won't be sticking around here for long…" The blonde's gaze darkened as it remained fixed intently to the raven-haired girl. "'Cause I'm gonna get you expelled!"

The sneer on Kushida's face widened as she muttered her plan for the girl she despised. Her gaze filled with all her hatred for the student she was confident she could get turfed from the Advanced Neutering High School.

"I can't risk having you exposing my past to all the other brats here! Otherwise my reputation will be in shreds! You're not fit to be in this school anyway! Why else would you have been sent to Class-D?"

The sun continued to sink over the school grounds. It left the shadows Kushida was hiding within in an eerie atmosphere. A fitting spot as any for the vile girl to have her little tangent in.

"I'm gonna have you kicked outta this school - and there's nothing you can do about it!" Kushida hissed. "Then I can reach my goal to be friends with everyone at the school - since you won't be here anymore to sabotage it!"

With the same smirk spread across her face, Kushida adverted her gaze towards Ayanokōji. The emotionless boy was the only one at the school other than Horikita who knew her true nature - which was she despised him just as much.

"While I'm at it, I think I may as well get your dumb ass expelled too, Ayanokōji," Kushida sneered. "I won't ever have to see your dull face again - which is is good for me, since I hate you as well!"

"Kushida?"

The two-faced girl froze upon hearing her name being spoken by one of the two people she was expressing hatred towards. Her eyes widened as she peered out towards the bench to see that Ayanokōji and Horikita weee now staring towards her, having notice her lurking in the shadows.

"Horikita! Ayanokōji!" Kushidia forced a smile as she stepped out into the evening light. "Fancy seeing you two here!"

"What are you doing over there?" Horikita asked, glaring suspiciously.

"I was just in my way back to my dorm when I stopped to take in what a nice evening it is!" Kushidia was once again putting on the fake cheerful tone in front of her schoolmates. "And low and behold, I happen to run into two of my friends from class out here!"

"When will you get it into that empty head of yours?" Horikita huffed as she stood up from the bench. "You and I are not friends - and we never will be!"

Kushidia pouted grumpily as she watched Horikita walk away. She glanced towards Ayanokōji. The emotionless young man stared at her but said nothing. The blonde girl narrowed her purple eyes at him as he headed off in the opposite direction. They were filled with resentment towards him.

"Make the most of your time here…" she mumbled quietly at Ayanokōji. "For all you know, your days at this school are numbered."

How little Kushidia knew that she would be playing a dangerous game if she messed with the mysterious boy who had been raised in the White Room. Being someone who could manipulate his schoolmates into his tools, Kiyotaka Ayanokōji was not one to be crossed.
