Between Him, You, and Me

Kai to Akira's

That morning as usual, everyone did their own activities,

" Hey kai, this is my school uniform, I have a school uniform there are many, many,

so if the other clothes are dirty I still have the other one, he said as the two prepared for school.

akira also prepared and ino also rushed to go to work.

the rule in the riko family is every day before 07:30

all the family members have gone to work and school.

finally, they went to school together, on the way

" Akira, umm.., I'm sorry but I'm gonna ask you a question,

did I get to say harsh words last night? saki asked a little scared.

" Nothing, you're just blabbering things that are less obvious, because you're in a drunken state, you know,

therefore the sentence that came out was less clear, reply while still stepping without looking at the two.

(hhuff... thank goodness then) muttered saki in his heart.

(fool, I just found out that he likes to drink when he has trouble expressing his own feelings) thought Akira who turned a little towards Saki.

":hmm..., how much longer will you two continue to chat, look at the time this is about to start lesson time

and you walk with ease, you guys, he said, who did not speed up his pace and first arrived at school.

when the two who also arrived at the school and were about to go straight to the classroom was stopped, it was stopped,

because both of them saw Akira visited by a senior from class 12-B.

riko who saw that said to Saki,

" Didn't yesterday I was ushered by a senior from class 12-A and now, instead approached by a senior from class 12-B..?! he said confused.

Saki who heard that immediately said to him,

" Hey riko, do you think I know the person you called earlier,,?! his question slightly showed an annoyed face.

I also didn't really know with the seniors from grade 12 - A to grade

12 - C, a,

all I know is a senior from class 12-A who says he is the new assistant of the Akira family,

he was assigned to replace his father who used to work as an assistant of the Akira family,

it was only that news that I received from Akira directly, explained riko.

" Hhmm..., looks like we should indeed do some reconnaissance on those people, riko!? his reply was getting irritated while pulling Riko's hand into the classroom.

saki's annoyance makes the whole atmosphere of her class so look more sinister than usual.

riko class is famous for its nickname friendly prince that turns out to be more creepy compared to the usual day.

the glare of her sharp eyes, the sweet friendly smile now simply disappeared,

seeing the reaction from the saki, Riko could only pat her shoulder and say,

" Hey friendly prince, stop getting carried away by the scary atmosphere from outside the classroom,

or you will kill the women in this class with your evil aura,

turns out you're creepy when you're angry, too, huh..?!

never mind, don't think nothing of him, not necessarily what you think is true, right?! continued again.

" hhhuuff.." by taking a deep breath and taking it out slowly,

saki finally improved a little and she started smiling again.

It turned out that day the saki class was completely empty all hours of lessons, therefore Riko took saki to the school discipline room.

While the two were chatting while walking towards the school discipline room,

they were surprised by Akira and some of the men from grade 12-A and grade 12-B who were with him from the teacher's room,

which happens to be asked by the teacher to bring some boxes of printed books that are quite thick, and,

I took the book to a few classes,

the two who passed by had stopped, because they saw an akira laughing with the seniors from class 12.

(basis.. they were.) growled with saki while clenching her hands firmly.

riko who saw that instantly calmed saki, while whispering

(Be calm, my friend, don't forget they're our seniors,

they are also influential students in this school, you do not want to get akira why-why, not slowly.)

while pulling Saki's hand, Riko takes her into the school's disciplinary room.

they passed Akira and the seniors just like that, without reprimanding their greeting.

shortly after the seniors returned to their respective classes.

Akira turned towards the discipline of the school, slowly..

" tok. tok. tok. "the sound of knocking on the door from the outside.

finally Riko who opened the door, because he saw the reaction of saki who was still upset with the incident earlier.

" Yes, what's up? welcome Riko while opening the door.

" Akira..!!? you have no lessons..,!? tanyanya.

akira only paused for a moment and approached saki,

then with that flat face, he asked Saki,

" What do you think of me as? said firmly.

hearing those words saki and riko were stunned for a moment while staring at each other,

" It's been quite your attitude all this time to me, tell me the truth.

saki who heard the words immediately stood up and looked at Akira,

then he said to her, too,

" Akira, will you be my lover? he pointed his right hand at Akira.

riko, who heard the words, hoped that the two could really establish a good relationship.

" Is this how you love someone, thank you for your delivery,

but I'm sorry you and you (while pointing towards saki and riko) never thought of me as anyone,

because you guys actually feel sorry for me

just as a fellow High School is nothing more than that, he said firmly while leaving the two in the room.

saki who heard those words could only sit limply in her chair while saying,

" Riko, what I really care about and pity her all this time.what is only because of the condition of her family, I answered riko, she said while shedding tears.

" I'm sorry saki, but in terms of my family we do care about her,

but to be honest, I myself do not know who I am and what you and I are close to, and for what reason,

even though Akira has been living in my house, I can't even call him sister yet,

not only me who experienced that phase, my extended family was still stiff when we communicated with him, explained Riko to him.

hearing that explanation, Saki finally replied,

" You're right, riko, today I just realized that,

it turns out that all this time I have not been able to understand my own feelings for him.

therefore from now on I will do everything I can to make

And clarify this feeling to her, she replied while wiping away her tears.

both of them rushed back to their classes.
