Atobe Keigo-The Prideful one and Outcast

/Aika/
I was gazing out of the window, staring out to the sky. Teacher was giving out votes for partnering in some kind of project. I hoped I would work alone. I hated Hyotei Gakuen. I came here just for the education. I hated all the girls as they were obsessed with Atobe Keigo. That stupid, obnoxious, arrogant and rich idiot. He thought that he could do anything he wants. I hated the boys too, as they were the same as him.

I was labeled as outcast/Emo/Goth. I did not care. I loved the way they labeled me anyway. They knew that I cut myself, so what. I liked that so they would stay away from me for good. I was staring out of the window and the teacher came to me. He handed me a folded paper and I unfolded it.

The name was Atobe Keigo. I muttered a ‘shit’ and the teacher noticed it. He took a look and I sighed. I threw the paper at his hand and he caught it. I was the last one. Everybody was mumbling something about me. I knew it. Teacher walked to the front and announced the partners.

“Aika will be partnering Atobe.” The teacher said plainly.

“What!!?” Atobe stood and slammed the table, “This is unacceptable!”

“I’m sorry, Atobe, but this is will only last for one week. The project is to make a poll about anything.”

“Fine…” I mumbled.

Everybody was muttering about me and Atobe working together. I remained silent and it was lunch. I waited for a while and everybody left the classroom. Every girl said their ‘see you later’ to Atobe with their annoying smile. I lay my head on the table and sat there. I was not hungry at all.

I took out my poem book and wrote some poem. I hoped that Atobe was not looking at me. I hated his attitude and everything about him. I gazed to the sky again.

/Atobe/
I looked back and I saw the girl was watching outside of the window. I saw some red blood cuts on her wrist as her hand was supporting her chin. Why was she cutting herself anyway? There was nothing bad in this school or what. I did not understand why. Never mind, I did not care about her anyway.

I noticed that there was a book on her table and she was holding a pen. Was she writing something? No matter, I have to go anyway. I have to stick with her for the whole week. What was her name again? I caught myself staring at her at times though. I walked out of the classroom.

/Aika/
I gazed the sky and have some aspirations for my poem.

/You’re annoying and I still love you/
Every single day, you come and bothered me without any reason.
What the hell is wrong with you?
What did I do to you that make you want to bully so much?
Yet, in the end, I still fall in love with you.
I hate you too, for making fun of me.
But, you said that you don’t know how to get my attention.
I was confused, what do you mean by that?
The answer is that you loved me too.
You’re annoying brat, but I still love you.

I wrote it down and I felt that I was writing about that Atobe.’ What the hell!? I do not like him. I repeat that I hate him a lot!’ Why did I write this poem anyway? Stupid Atobe, you made my mind go crazy in a bad way! I would make sure I will kill you in this week of project making.

It was already half an hour and I was still having the same class as him. Then, lunch break was over. I sighed and the students came back from the canteen and somewhere else. I saw Atobe came in with his friends. I hated them too. I lay my head on the table again and looked out to nowhere.

After that, the teacher came in and I looked up. Hours of boring lessons, it was time to go home. I packed my things and walked of the classroom. I did not say goodbye of anything to that Atobe. I ran straight home.

/Atobe/
That girl just left. How annoying yet I felt something wrong. Never mind, I went home on my limo and walked back to my room. I wanted to call her, but I did not want to hear her voice. Even though I never heard before, alright, now I am gibbering.

I called her and waited for a reply.

/Aika/
I went home and took a shower. I wore my casual clothes. Then, the phone rang. I walked to it and picked it up.

“Hello?” I asked.

“Are you Aika?” I heard Atobe’s voice.

‘Kuso… Why didn’t I check the ID call just now? I’m so stupid!’

“Yeah, what do you want, Atobe?” I asked annoyingly.

“I know that you hate to be with me as much as I do, but I never fail in a project.” Atobe answered and I could imagine that he would make his hair.

“Uh-huh… So, what do you want? I don’t think that you call me just for this nonsense.”

“I want you to meet at my house tomorrow for the project…” He trailed off as I hung up the phone.

I walked away from the room and did my homework and blasting my music.

/Atobe/
I placed my phone away from my ear as she hung up. That Aika… I swore I was going to kill her. Did she knew that when to come to my house? Never mind, I would be at home for the whole day anyway. I did my homework and did my night routine.

I lay on my bed and placed my hands behind my head. I kept stopped myself from thinking Aika. Why was I feeling this way? I hated that feeling. I shook off the feeling and slept.

/Aika/
I dried my hair and sat on my bed as looking out to the night sky. I opened the window and a soft breeze came. At least I felt calm and soothing. There was no trouble. I lived alone but my brothers would send me money every month for my daily usage.

I have done my homework and just enjoying some soothing music and the breeze. I wondered what Atobe thinking was when I hung up. I watched the stray cat walking passed my window and jumped off the roof. I smiled at it and closed the window.

I lay on the bed and slept soundly. Morning came and I sat up. I loved to stare out to the sky a lot. I looked at the clock and it was nine. I stepped out of bed and did my daily routine. I made some breakfast and ate it. I made lunch too, just for me later.

I wore a black short with two silver chains and a black T-shirt with a white cross on it. I wore a pair of black fingerless gloves and a black hat. I wore the necklace which was a black leather collar with silver cross and silver chains.

I wore my black shoes and took my lunch along with my notebook and stationeries. I walked to Atobe’s house and I knew that his house would be very huge since he was rich. I rang the doorbell and I thought it was his butler that answered it.

“May I help you?” He asked.

“I’m Atobe’s friend, can I meet him?” I answered with a slight politeness when I said friend.

“Oh yes, are you Miss Aika?”

“Yes, I am.”

Then, the door opened and I was stepping into his courtyard. It was beautiful but I did not want to lose myself in front of him. I saw Atobe walking to me. I pouted and tilted my head to one side without looking him.

“Well, you did come to Ore-sama’s house.” Atobe started.

“Yeah right, I just want to get this over with.” I answered annoyingly.

“Alright, follow me to my study room.” He walked away.

I followed him and I looked around his house. It was a big mansion but I felt lonely in this huge place. We arrived at his study room and I sat down on the couch. Atobe sat beside me. I wanted to speak but I was the quiet one in school as well as at home.

“Let’s do Greek History.” He started.

“Yeah sure.” I agreed plainly.

“Hey, you don’t care about anything, do you?”

“Yeah, I don’t care. I hate it. I hate my life.” I answered sadly.

“Oh…”

I took out my notebook and wrote what he had said in the next few minutes. Then, there was an awkward silence. I looked up from notebook to him. He stood there looking at me. I stared at him confusedly and he sat beside me. I moved away from him and walked to the window.

I gazed out of the window and placed my hand on the glass.

/Atobe/
Aika was quiet and beautiful. What was I talking about!? Her skin was fair and her hair of black with red and white highlights fitted her features. I felt strange with Aika. I stood behind her and wrapped my arms around her. She pushed me away and looked at me frightfully. Aika looked away and ran out of my room and house.

What did I do? She left her things here. It was a book and a box. It was a lunchbox and her poem book. I read the poem and she wrote:

/You’re annoying and I still love you/
Every single day, you come and bothered me without any reason.
What the hell is wrong with you?
What did I do to you that make you want to bully so much?
Yet, in the end, I still fall in love with you.
I hate you too, for making fun of me.
But, you said that you don’t know how to get my attention.
I was confused, what do you mean by that?
The answer is that you loved me too.
You’re annoying idiot, but I still love you.

Was she writing about me? I did bully her sometimes but I did not know that I loved her or anything. I did not know that she was… May be not, she just wrote this because she hated me to the core. I did not know. I felt confused because I did feel different with Aika.

She dared to yell at me in school and embarrassed me right in front of so many people. She dared to call me names right in front of me. I loved her attitude. I ran to find Aika and I found her at the park sitting on the swing, crying. I did not know what to say though.

I walked to her with my hands shove in my pockets. She looked up with teary eyes. I remained silent. Aika stood up and slapped me in the face. I was surprised and touched my cheek.

“I hate you… Why do you have to come into my life and ruined it!?” Aika yelled.

She kneeled down and cried. I lifted her head and kneeled down to her eye level. Aika slapped my hand away and ran away.

/Aika/
I ran home and I did not wish to see him. I did not want to! My tears just kept flowing and flowing. Why I met him in the first place? I ran back home and sat on the couch. I brought my knees to my chest. I kept crying and crying. I did not want to see him at all.

Why must he be in my life? I kept crying and crying. I cried myself to sleep on the couch. When I woke up, I was in someone’s arms. I looked up and it was him, Atobe Keigo. I pushed myself away from him, but he held me tight. Atobe kissed me forcefully and I kept pushing him away.

He slammed me on the couch and kissed me more forcefully. I wanted to protest but he stopped and gazed into my eyes. I looked at him with blushing face. Atobe smirked and I blushed even more. I moved my lips to his and kissed him lightly. I did not how to do it anyway.

“That was a nice one.” Atobe chuckled.

“Uh…” I stammered.

“Call me Keigo, be my girl.”

“Keigo…” I blushed as I was trying to say his name.

“Ha-ha, that’s better. I’m the prideful one with the outcast had an unexpected thing.” He chuckled.

“You’re idiot.” I pouted.

“Yeah, I know and thank you.” He said in his husky voice and kissed me with passion.
