Chapter 4: The Trip (preparing)

Kaede's point of view

"You did well on expressing emotion" said the Ultimate Detective.

'W-What are you talking about?' She had this aura that made me chill to the bone and all of a sudden angry..

"I mean that you are good at telling half-truths and knowing Makoto personally he knows you are hiding more then you claim." The ultimate detective said. Well, I see where the talent comes in.. 'Look, there is alot on my mind right now Makoto and I told a half-truth so as long as it doesn't hurt anybody there shouldn't be any reason to talk about it right?' Hopefully she'll stop budding into my business..

"... You like Makoto don't you?" the Ultimate Detective claimed. Eh?! Was it that obvious?! But I have to answer her she is my upperclassmen.

" I'm not really sure... I never felt this way before..."

"Such a typical response.. but I feel a little more for him." Is she going to declare an rivalry or something ?! Is this an drama manga?! My face must've said it all because she smirked and said.

" I want Makoto to be mine but, don't think it will be easy.. you have including myself five other girls to compete with for his affections. That's when she walked closer to me, And if you misstep in any way.. let's just say that we will anxiously awaiting." And with that walked away, I felt my knees buckle.. Five girls?! Five other girls to compete with! I.. won't stand a chance against them.. I... I will just be his friend. Because an piano freak like me... Doesn't deserve an man like Makoto... I was all of a sudden tired and depressed so I head back to my room for today.

Kaede's room

I was laying on my bed crying and listening to sad love songs to calm my crying and whimmering when I hear knocking on my door. I rush over to my mirror to see I looked horrible and I wasn't even sure I liked Makoto the way Kyoko mentioned.. The knocking continued so I hurried and applied makeup to my face to hide the fact I was crying. I opened the door to see Shuichi the other Ultimate Detective, I opened the door wider so he can enter; It was awkard silence before he started the conversation...

"Hey.. I noticed that after you left you didn't come back to classroom.. May I ask what happened?" Of course he will notice that the only person who was talking to him will be missing.. Welp better give him the truth.

'Well, To be honest I was heading to my room when That Makoto guy came up to see if I was okay and we were talking for a bit then,.. I met the other Ultimate Detective; Kyouko. I hestitated on telling Shuichi but, I felt he had the right to know that the detective was in conversation even though she ..she... I'm still filled with anger and sadness to talk about the second conversation. "Kaede!" I hear Shuichi call out to me and it causes me to freeze momentarily then turn my attention to him. "You were spacing out on me.. Are you sure you are alright? I could go get the Ultimate Nurse if you like... " I cut him off from that thought and tell him its okay.That resulted in him telling me to not overdo myself.

" Anyway I came here to inform you that We have an class trip in two days. Class trips are traditional meaning every class has experiance this trip before appartently the reason for this trip is to get to know one another along with enhancing our talents. " I was honestly shocked.. A class trip .. hmmm.

'Hey Shuichi?

"Yes? What's wrong?

'Are the other classes apart of this trip?' I had to get over these silly feelings along with get along with my higher-ups even if they are unpleasant and make me want to punch them in the face. Still angry...

" Oh.. Yes, They will be apart of this trip for they will do this until they graduate. " Wait I never said our Senpai's I said other classes.. and as if he heard my thoughts..

Shuichi began speaking again.

"It's all over your face.. You want to meet with that Makoto guy right?"

'You truly are the Ultimate Detective !"

"Kaede. Can I call you that? Kaede?

'Of course'. He seemed relieved at my answer.

Kaede. What was she like? The other Ultimate Detective?"

I wanted to say that she is a cold hearted b-word but, Shuichi means business he is already skeptical about his talentnso I tell him the truth.

'She is cold as stone and her gaze chills you to bone if you don't tell her the truth.. she means business.' He was silent for a couple of minutes until he looked at me with both is his eyes.. Which were breathtaking .

"At first I thought you were going to say she was an Ice queen or something! He said laughing. I let out a few giggles later and we spent the rest of his visit talking about silly things.
