Chapter 1:

How it happened

In Saotome Academy, they had a weird tradition.

The school election starts at the end of the school year rather than the start. The second year students who plan to be in the student council in their third year do their campaign before the school year ends. Saotome Shining contrived this because he thought it would be better to select the new officers before the summer break starts, so during the summer those officers will have two months to prepare on what to do for the new school year. And when the classes start, he expects that the new set of student council members will have something good up on their sleeves.

Anyone would think that someone like Nanami Haruka wouldn't bother herself with such affairs. It's obvious that she had no plans on running as a member, she was too shy to go in the crowd and far too clumsy to have the school matters thrown on her shoulders.

But she should. She was forced to be bothered with this event. Why?

Here's the reason why:

On the day of the meeting de avance, one of the candidates for presidency, Ichinose Tokiya, talked to her before his speech.

"Nanami-san,"

Haruka stopped walking and turned around; she was planning to go to her respective seat when someone called her name. She was surprised to see that it was no other than Ichinose-san, so surprised that she wondered for a moment if it was really her that he was calling.

Ichinose-san has been popular in their school since he started studying here. He was smart, athletic, and handsome. He also had this cool, mysterious air around him that made girls swoon for him. They never became classmates not even once, so how he even knew her name was a big mystery to her.

"H-hai!" She straightened her back and answered stiffly; it was obvious how nervous she was that other than her best friend, Shibuya Tomochika, was calling her name. Let's add the fact that this person was no ordinary one, he's one of the school idols and will most-likely win for presidency because of his popularity.

He chuckled. "You don't have to sound so nervous."

The rosette blushed, lowering her head. "Y-yes."

She heard him laugh once more, golden eyes peered up only to see a serious look on his face and his eyes were intense. This made her heart beat fast, she really didn't understand why such a popular guy was wasting his time talking to her rather than preparing his speech.

"I'll be straight to the point." He said firmly, Haruka gasped. This man meant business. "Because anytime soon, I'll be called to go up on the stage to talk so…"

The rosette nodded shyly, unable to do anything else.

"When I win, be my girlfriend."

Golden eyes widened, she opened her mouth to respond. Her face became as red as her head, hands clutching on the ribbon of her school uniform.

Aren't you being too sudden? She wanted to say.

But it was all too late; the speaker started paging Tokiya's name. He nodded at her, as if telling her he will be taking his leave. He walked away, while she stood frozen in place, unable to react. When his intense aura disappeared, Haruka turned around only to find him already standing on the podium on stage. She noted that he walked incredibly fast, it was like he teleported.

'Or maybe he dematerialized like a ninja.'

The rosette shook her head and decided to go back to her seat; the teachers would scold her if she remained standing in the middle of the dark gym hall.

As soon as she found where her classmates were assigned and she found her chair, Tokiya finished fixing up his microphone and his speech papers. Haruka didn't know if it was because of the darkness, but she had a glimpse of those papers while he was talking to her, and she was pretty sure that it was actually blank.

Either way, he was about to start. He looked at each student with a confident smile, only to stop and meet her gaze. It was only for a split second, but she knew it was her Tokiya smiled at. He looked straight forward, clearing his throat.

"Good morning classmates, students, teachers, and school personnel…" And his speech started.

Behind Haruka, she felt someone tapped her shoulder. She didn't have to guess who it was.

"Haru-chan," Tomochika Shibuya, her and only friend, whispered to her ear. "I saw that! What did Mr. We-already-know-he's-the-next-student-prez say to you?"

Golden eyes continued to stare at the person on stage; he seemed like a star in the middle of this dark galaxy. Shining brightly, just his mere words were enough to know that he's a responsible person.

"He asked told me that if he wins… I'll be his girlfriend…" Haruka whispered; voice unfocused.

"What?!" Tomo-chan said louder than intended, the people around 'sh-ed' at them. She scratched the back of her head and apologized. She moved closer to her best friend and whispered. "Haruka, are you sure?"

"I don't know." She answered honestly. "I think I'm dreaming, if so, wake me up…"

Behind her, Tomo-chan kept on exclaiming her disbelief. The rosette didn't actually understand what she's saying; all her words just passed through her ears. This couldn't be happening… This was all too random. Just so… weird.

And as expected, Ichinose Tokiya won as president. Vice-president was Hijirikawa Masato. Secretary was Jinguuji Ren. Treasurer was Shinomiya Natsuki. Social Relations officer was Aijima Cecil. And so… It wasn't surprising that all the winners were part of STARISH, it was the name they called for Ichinose's group of friends. The only reason why the two other members of the group wasn't part of the student council was because they ran out of seats for them or they just didn't want to join.

But that didn't matter; she was officially Ichinose Tokiya's girlfriend starting this day on. She didn't know whether to be happy or not. She wasn't really one of his fan girls, true she admires him for being such a role model, but other than respect she felt nothing more. The first time they talked was the time when he asked her out. Haruka didn't even know that the bluenet knows about her existence! So to be her girlfriend out of a sudden was a little…

After a few days, it was already summer break. Tokiya didn't try to contact her or go to her house the whole two months. No, even if there were still classes, he didn't go to her class after school or whatever boyfriends should do with their girlfriends. Haruka wondered if she was only imagining things during that day… If it was, then she can finally take a deep breath and relax. She got worked up for nothing! She was so stupid! As if one of the most popular boys in school would ask out a nobody like her out of nowhere! Things like that only happen in fiction! What did she think; she's some heroine of some romantic comedy anime or something—

Summer break just ended. Nanami Haruka is officially a third year student. She walked her way to her school when she saw Ichinose Tokiya waiting outside the school gate. As soon as he saw her, blue eyes widen. He walked towards her and offered to carry her bag; Haruka said he didn't need to.

"I'm sorry for not talking to you after the election." Tokiya apologized, golden eyes widened in surprise. As expected from Mister President, straight to the point as usual. "I immediately got busy with student council work."

Haruka nodded, walking slowly as they headed to the board to find which section they are.

"Ah," The bluenet gasped, she turned to meet his expression. "I'm also sorry for not contacting you last summer. I…" He paused, a blush on his face as he turned away. "I didn't know your email or your home address…" Tokiya leaned against a wall, a dark depressive aura emitted from his body. "I'm such a failure as a boyfriend…"

The rosette laughed nervously, shaking her head. "No, it's fine, Ichinose-san. Don't worry about such trivial things!"

Boyfriend… huh? Haruka repeated in her mind. So we really are…

He immediately straightened up, the light in his eyes immediately returned. He smiled at her, sparkles flew out of nowhere. She faltered back, this man was too bright!

"After the entrance ceremony ends," He said seriously. "We must exchange addresses"

Haruka forced a smile and nodded.

So it really wasn't… a dream…

It turned out; they were in the same section.

Haruka wanted to start and end this school year with no problems. She just wanted to graduate and go study at some good university and go on with her mundane life. But it seemed that her dream cannot be granted…

"Nanami." He called her out in a cool voice.

She stopped walking. Mechanically, she turned around. A smile was on her lips, sweat dropping.

"Ichinose-san." She tried to sound calm, even when the people in the hall were staring and whispering at them. She even heard some girls saying 'slut' or something. "I thought the student council had a meeting today."

He smiled, and on cue, Haruka heard some high-pitched squeals. She turned around accusingly; girls were talking to each other, 'minding their own businesses'. She sighed and faced the bluenet in front of her. He asked if there was something wrong, she shook her head and told him to continue.

"It was cancelled because of the upcoming exams next week." He explained. "The teachers said we should start reviewing so… yes."

Haruka nodded. "I… see."

"Speaking of exams," He brought up out of nowhere. "Would you like me to tutor you?"

Haruka gasped, she also heard some gasps around her. She turned around once again, glaring at the nosy girls around them. They decided to back off, walking away from them. The rosette sighed; it was disturbing how they didn't have any privacy whenever they were talking.

"Um… you don't need to." Haruka forced a smile. "I'm fine on my—"

'Ungrateful bitch,' Someone whispered behind her.

'I know right,' Someone's friend snorted. 'Tokiya-sama was willing to help her even with his busy schedule and yet she's… tch!'

The rosette felt a nerve popping on her head. Seriously, she didn't need it! As mentioned before, she's always at the top 10 when her results come out. So it was really unnecessary for her to—wait a minute, Ichinose-san is the top of their year. Maybe she could get some tips for the upcoming college exams…

"Yes," She smiled brightly. "I would appreciate your help."

Tokiya smiled and patted her on the head.

"I'm glad." He sighed in relief. "I really wanted to spend time with you. We've been dating for four months and yet we still haven't gone to our first date. We only spend time together only at school… And I'm afraid to say we barely spend time together even here. So to hear that you're fine with it… makes me happy."

Haruka felt blood rushing to her face. "I-is that so?" Even if she doesn't have those fan girl feelings for him, she's not going to lie that he makes her heart skip a beat on a lot of occasions. Especially times like this when he's being serious.

"You live alone, right?"

She didn't know why he was asking this, but she nodded anyway. Her father was already dead, while her mother has her new family abroad. She grew in the countryside with her grandma, but now she got accepted in a good high school in the city, her mother was willing to pay for her rent on her own apartment.

"Then it's decided!" Tokiya declared. The rosette wondered if she missed something while she was daydreaming for a few second. "We're going to study at your room on Sunday!"

"WHAT?!" They all said in unison.

Haruka closed her mouth, she didn't even bother to say anything. The fan girls already said her thoughts out loud.

The bluent blinked innocently. "Is it me or are they listening to our conversation?"

If you only knew…
