Chapter 24

Students rushed back to their dorms hearing the announcement.

The announcement wasn't just for Keyaki Mall but the entire campus.

Tatsuya, Ichinose, Airi and Kanzaki rushed out of the mall and separated after Ichinose and Kanzaki joined a bunch of B Class students.

Tatsuya and Airi were left alone and They made a brisk walk to the dorms, trailing behind Ichinose and her group.

"It seems like you were talking about me."

Airi who was walking ahead of Tatsuya paused hearing that and Tatsuya stared at her back.

A few seconds of silence passed as Airi felt her heartbeat increase. 

Suddenly, Tatsuya walked past her muttering, "Hope it doesn't happen again."

A shiver went down her spine, he sounded so cold...

She understood what he was implying and an expression of struggle appeared on her face for a brief moment before she hung her head in defeat and looked at Tatsuya's disappearing back with dull eyes.

Six hours had passed and almost every student was in the dorms.

News regarding the incident was quickly contained and some students had seen authorities rush into the school.

But no matter how they tried news would spread, sooner or later.

Just an hour ago the confinement was released and students were allowed to leave the dorms again.

Tatsuya left his dorm room and pressed the button in front of him, calling for the lift. His dorm room was on the fourth floor.

At the moment Tatsuya was debating which of the remaining four should he fuck. He thought about his choices.

Ichinose Honami.

He was a bit interested in the upcoming first years but he had no intention of waiting for an entire year.

Especially in an ordinary world like this.

Just as he was thinking about this the lift arrived and the doors parted. Tatsuya stepped forward but unexpectedly he saw someone familiar in the lift.

Seeing this person he unconsciously smiled.

Seems like he found his answer.

He walked into the lift startling the girl staring at her phone with a bored look.

She was of average height with waist-length blonde hair that was tied in a ponytail. She had glossy purple eyes and her school uniform consisted of a light blue dress shirt below the red school blazer and short white skirt.

"Ehhh! Tatsuya-kun? Good afternoon!" She enthusiastically greeted him and Tatsuya responded with a slight smile.

"Good Afternoon, Karuizawa-san. Going somewhere without Hirata?"

"Oof, Do you really think we're glued to each other every second?" Karuizawa chuckled in a sweet voice but she still gave Tatsuya an odd look.

"What about you? How are things with Hasabe-chan going?"

Tatsuya gave her a confused look, "What do you mean?"

"Huh?" She was shocked, "Whadya mean what do you mean?" 

Seeing his still confused look she let out an exhausted sigh, "I mean your relationship with her, y'know going out and stuff."

As she asked, the lift arrived at the ground floor.

"Did you have some plans? Would you mind accompanying me for a bit if possible?" Tatsuya ignored her question and asked.

"Ehh?" Hearing that Karuizawa was flustered. The invitation was out of the blue and she alternated her gaze between Tatsuya and her phone.

Seeing that Tatsuya chuckled, "It's fine if you can't."

Hearing that Karuizawa hurriedly said, "Na, it's nothin' important. Do you have a place in mind~?"

Tatsuya nodded.

Karuizawa was supposed to meet with her friends but she immediately said that she was going to change plans and couldn't come at the moment.

When asked why, she didn't answer.

After putting her phone in her pocket she followed after Tatsuya.

This was a rare chance she couldn't miss.

She didn't know why but she felt as if Tatsuya didn't like her. It was an odd feeling but she didn't doubt her instincts.

That's why she decided to ask the less intimidating and equally popular Hirata to be her fake boyfriend.

Due to her past, she knew she couldn't slack off.

If she wanted to keep herself safe then she had to attach herself to someone who could keep her safe, give her status that others don't dare deny easily.

At first, she wanted to approach Tatsuya but that failed since he started showing interest in Hasabe.

But what surprised her was that a month had passed but there was no official declaration of their relationship.

And through Hasabe-chan's reactions, she was sure they weren't going out with each other in private either.

She was ultimately curious.

Not to mention this was the first time Tatsuya had invited her for a chat.

Glancing at his expressionless face, She wondered what was going through his mind.

He was usually smiling and had a comfortable air around him which was currently not there, making her a bit anxious.

But she didn't let it show on her face, she would never let anyone see her anxiety. That was her first and most important rule.

Soon they arrived at a seemingly unpopular cafe. There were barely a few students there and she was puzzled.

Why not Pallet?

Maybe he was running low on points like her?

As if sensing her doubts he glanced at her and said, "I'd rather not have people misunderstand since your Hirata's girlfriend. You're quite popular y'know."

"Hmph! You're acting as if anyone in the entire first year is unfamiliar with you." Karuizawa pouted cutely before taking the seat in front of him.

"I'll have some lemonade, I really feel thirsty." Hearing that, Tatsuya nodded and said, "I'll have the same then."

He called the waiter and asked for two lemonades.

"So? What's with the sudden invitation?" She asked while propping her elbow on the table and resting her chin on her palm.

"I know your secret, Karuizawa."

"..."

Heavy silence filled the air between them as Karuizawa stared at Tatsuya's face. He had a thin smile on his face with a gentle look but Karuizawa felt her heart race.

"H-Huh? What do you mean?" Karuizawa quickly recovered and asked with a nonchalant look.

"I meant exactly what I said." Tatsuya took a sip from the lemonade that just arrived and let out a content sigh.

"It's really funny, y'know. Seeing someone act tough while being all broken from the inside."

His tone was condescending and he had an arrogant smirk on his face. Karuizawa felt her heart freeze.

'He knows!'

She felt her mind go blank for a second before she slammed the table with her palm.

Thud!

"Stop talking in riddles, you're being rude! If you wanted to invite me just to insult me then I'll leave!"

She tried to stay calm.

She tried to keep her composure.

She tried to control her anxiety and her racing heart.

But his expression...

Why did he have an amused look...?
