Shuchiin Academy, one of the top academies in Japan, with students from different big families, from sons of top companies' presidents, to daughters of top companies' companies' presidents. They are carrying the responsibilities to continue the paths their parents have written down on the map, or choosing another ways, but still big and successful enough, just like their mom and dad.

And at this school, there's a student, but not like any other, famous for her family name. Her name is Kaguya Shinomiya. Nothing is so strange to hear from her family. Owning a lot of top companies, wealth, anything. However, there is also one thing that separate her from any other pupils: arrogance.

In Kaguya's sight, her classmates, her "friends", as dictionaries defined, are nothing else but a bunch of talking weeds. Almost no one can beat her in study or anything. People admire her, but she doesn't seem to care at all. The students are the ladder steps, leading her to success, writing the new pages for the Shinomiya's proud history book.

However, she doesn't know that today will be a turn for her life.

Kaguya's POV

"Shinomiya-san, can you help us with this lesson?"

"My apology, but you're on your own..."

Once again, a boring day in this academy. Boring people asking me questions on lessons. Can I just have another day for my own? Why can't you people just go to the library or something to find a solution?

I'm a vice-president of Shuchiin Student council, but that's still a low position for someone like me. Still, I'm going to the student council just for a meeting. Well that's fine, I just hope it will be quick, or my timetable for today will be ruined.

So there it is, the student council room. Oh, there's the treasurer, Yu Ishigami, just sticking his eyes in his laptop. I don't know how he studies, but I just understand that if I were him and stood in rank 195 or something lower than that, I would have a terrible heart attack.

Oh and there she is, secretary Chika Fujiwara. I don't know what in the breezing hell she is doing here. All she does is running around, talking some stupid stories about her dog. Do you really think that anybody here cares? W-Well, of course, that's including me. It's not like I'm interested in them anyway...

And that's another first year member, Miko Iino. I guess I'll skip her. She's clearly just here to learn more about "satisfying the students' need for entertainment" or something. Her role is unnecessary, and if one day she got kicked out, I would be the first one to laugh. Now, for the other one...

"So you're here, Shinomiya? Can we start our meeting?"

Yes, speaking of the devil, there is our "dear" president, Miyuki Shirogane. At least these students are lucky enough to be seen as talking weed in my eyes. Him? A root is still too big for comparison. He's from some kind of poor family, only able to step one foot in this academy thanks to his result. But let's get this straight, I dislike him! The first semester, he took my first spot to become the highest score student, which no one had ever done to me! A rivalry has ignited from then! I won't let you do whatever you want in this academy, Miyuki Shirogane!

But let's just get to the point of this meeting anyway.

"Yeah, I'm here. Now can we start?"

O0O

Miyuki's POV

"Alright, I have written down all of your ideas for this summer camp. Anyone else has different idea?" I ask the members, and receive a raised up hand from... Shinomiya. Geez, I have a bad feeling about this...

"All of your ideas are great, except the fact that they are stupid." Yup, I was right.

"And in what point do you think they are stupid? Having a bonfire, fireworks, singing are stupid?" I ask her, and receive a simple "um hum". I guess this meeting has come to a corner again...

"You know what? This meeting ends here. Shinomiya, you stay, I have something to talk to you."

"What do you want anyway? Be quick!" Oh there she goes again, not realizing how she is...

"With that attitude, you'll never be a good student council member!" I gave her the most straight-forward answer I can give, but receive a pissed Shinomiya.

"And why do I need to become a good student council?! My family helped building this school! Why do I have to care about any of those talking weeds?! I'm here because how good I am! I would be the president of student council, if it wasn't from you, you fake poor blondie!"

"SHINOMIYA, STOP!" I shouted at her with all the anger, but soon calm down because of the situation. Secretary Fujiwara is shivering, and so is auditor Iino, while treasurer Ishigami is staring at me scarily. So I call off this meeting and let everyone goes home, leaving me with my thought.

Seriously, I can't understand her. Yeah, she's a very rich girl. Yes, her family is successful. But she can't use that as a force on other pupils. I don't know why this academy worships her, especially the principal. I know some rich people have this arrogance attitude thing, but bringing it to school is so unacceptable.

Kaguya Shinomiya, someday you'll face your consequences if you just keep on like this.

O0O

Kaguya's POV

That Shirogane blonde... who does he think he is for talking to me like that?!

Right now I'm on my family's car, with my butler, Ai Hayasaka. We go to the same academy, in the same class, in order to make sure that she has more attention on me. But who am I, a little sister who needs to be babysat?

"Miss Kaguya, when you are home, you will have dinner on-"

"I got it, Hayasaka..." Just her normal routine, reminding me my timetable...

But to be honest, I don't hate her. She's been my close friend since secondary school year, someone I can rely on, so there's not any problem I have with her. If I had to point out something, I would say it is her sadism. Still, I think she's not like any of those students back there, so I'm fine with her-

"MISS SHINOMIYA! THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG AT YOUR MANOR! I WILL SPEED UP SO HOLD TIGHT!"

Wait... the driver said what...?

O0O

What... the hell...?

My house is on fire... every butler... every single one is... killed...?

And there is someone, lying on the floor... Father?! He's covered in blood! I quickly run to him and hold him up.

"Father, please wake up! What is happening?!" I shake him so he can gain his conscious back. I let out a sigh of relief when his usual red eyes start to open.

"Kaguya... we're bankrupt..." Father, you are not kidding me, right?! "Those people... they are here to get us... for our debt...!" His voice is weak, with coughs in between, but right now I'm terrified. Get us?! What will happen to me now?! No, father, do not close your eyes! NO!

"Is that all of them?!" I heard a man's voice in the other room, and until he walks out, I can see what he's like. He's wearing a top hat, with black clothes all over his body, along with the other henchmen. They're so tall, just like wrestlers.

"Oh, is this the infamous Shinomiya family's daughter? Get her!" The man, seems to be the leader, orders the other henchmen to get me. When I close my eyes, thinking that I'm done, Hayasaka and the driver stop them.

"MISS KAGUYA, RUN! DON'T TURN BACK FOR US!" Hayasaka shouts at me, and right now, with absolutely nothing in my head, I start running out my manor, leaving Hayasaka and father behind, bringing with me are the screams of pain from her...

O0O

I'm so scared that I can't even cry. I'm in the street of nowhere, with no one to rely on, nothing with me. My father is... dead, and probably Hayasaka... too... I'm covered with mud and scratches, torn uniform, from all the tripping for running... No! Don't look at me like that, you low class! Don't feel pity for me! Alright, now what I need is some food, a shelter and... somewhere to hide from those men.....

... Oh god, what should I do now...?! I'm... on my own... I'm not used to this darkness, so why is all I can see is darkness... Somebody... please, just anyone... help...
