Kage's POV

After exiting the first period, I make my way to my locker and sigh. I know what Kitsune's doing, and I'm gonna use it to crush her. Call me a manipulator, but I find it fun.

As I open my locker door, pictures of Ekoro and I, as well as portraits of myself become apparent. Fake spider webs and paper spiders, too. I've always been a little edgy, but I wouldn't consider it a huge trait of mine. I put away the heavy math books I was carrying, both my arms and mind exhausted. If you ask me, Kitsune is just as annoying as she perceives Ekoro. She's very strange, but I can't say I'm not mysterious myself because of my red eyes and mysterious attitude. Some may call me a demon. I close my locker door, as arms wrap around my waist. "Kaage~!" I'd recognize that obnoxious voice anywhere. It's Kitsune. I blush, she's so embarrassing. "Please, can you come hang out with me after school?" Her grip on me tightens, she's so strong I feel like she'll chop my legs off with pressure. I shake away that thought, deciding on my answer. "Alright, for a few hours." I sigh yet again, disguising it as a wholesome couples moment. Really, my plan was to get closer and closer to Ekoro as she watches her nightmare ensue.

I laugh at the thought of her face whenever her jealousy slowly gets the best of her. The bell rings, and I snap out of my thoughts as she lets go of me. The amount of relief I felt then was absolutely unreal. Mentally and physically. I open my locker, wondering why I closed it in the first place. I grab my science books, closing my locker yet again as I walk toward the room. Convenient enough, Ekoro and I have the same second period.

I take my seat, conveniently next to Ekoro. As the teacher teaches the class, I rip out a tiny piece of paper from my notebook and write on it with my pen, "Ekoro, hear me out. I'm going to make Kitsune think I love her, but I have no feelings for her. We'll get close near her, and progressively get closer, and make her jealous of us. Onboard?" I passed her the note as she sighed, before smiling. She looked my way and nodded as she looked back at the teacher and I smiled, too, though I barely did. I was happy that I got the chance to crush that attention-seeker's heart once and for all; and her fall I pray for.
