"Why are you leaving?!"

"I'm sorry,my dad is moving to another school."

"Please!You can't leave!"

"I don't want to leave. But,sometimes life doesn't go the way you want it."

"WAIT!COME BACK!"

A warmth enveloped by body as I looked up.They smiled at me with tears in their eyes.

"I'm sure i'll see you again."

My body shot up in a cold sweat.That damn dream......I don't even remember the last time I had it.So,the question is:why now?Of all times,why now?

.........

Meiko entered Mari's office and much to her surprise Mari looked exhausted and annoyed.

Meiko:Madame President?

Mari:O-oh,hello Meiko........

Meiko:What's the problem,Madame President?!

Mari:I........

Mari hung her head low as if in pure defeat.

Mari:I can't break him.

Meiko:Huh?Who?

Mari:Y/N.......

Meiko:Y/N?

Mari:Much to my displeasure,I've been using
s-seductive tactics to try and let his beastly urges take him but his will is too strong.I don't quite know what to do if I am to make him a pawn.

Meiko:Madame President,may I throw an idea in?

Mari:Granted.

Meiko:Um.....maybe just be honest with him?

Mari:What do you mean?I'd rather not speak to him about DTO.

Meiko:O-of course Madame President!Not that!What I mean is....just be a normal person to him.If you know what i'm getting at.

Mari:Be......me?

........

Kiyoshi:Anyways,yeah.I'm grateful that you didn't sell me out.

I nodded as I continued to watch them work before giving them a water break.

Kiyoshi:It's about time for Meiko to take over,correct?

I nodded as I waved everyone goodbye and made my way back into my room.I began setting up my game system and monitor when a knock was on my door.I opened the door to see Chiyo.

Chiyo:Hey.

I waved.

Chiyo:Listen,I wanted to thank you for standing up to my sister and Meiko.

I shrugged.

Chiyo:But listen,don't be too hard on my sister,okay?I don't really know what made her have such a dislike of men but,I've been watching your interactions with her and I can say that you're her best chance at being able to hold a normal conversation with guys.So,I hope you don't hold a grudge.

I shook my head and gave Chiyo a thumbs up.

Chiyo:Thank goodness.Well,see you later.Tell Kiyoshi,I said hi!

I nodded as Chiyo walked off.I closed my door and turned my system on and then my monitor.Immediately when that happened,another knock was on my door.I opened it revealing....Mari?

Y/N:?

Mari:We need to talk.

Y/N:.....About what?

Mari:I want to speak about it in private.

Against my better judgement I let in Mari as she looked around my room.

Mari:Hm,I never got to look at your room since the last time I came,it was pretty dark.

Y/N:You mean when you climbed on top of me.

Mari:*sigh*Still,his room looks likes a boy's with those computer gaming posters and some animation posters as well.No signs of being a deviant.I don't trust this room.I know he has an illicit something in this room!

Y/N:You can sit on my bed.

Mari:Thank you.

I booted up some Injustice 2 and began playing some Multiverse.Even though Mari was in the room,she wasn't saying anything.All you could hear was background noise from the school and my game's audio.I wonder why she's so silent.Especially since she wanted to talk about something.

.......

This is bad.I don't quite know how to apologize to him.I can apologize to girls all the time so,why do I find myself struggling to say sorry?No,I can do this.I'm the Underground Student Council President.

Y/N:So,what did you want to talk about?

Mari:Oh,I.....wanted to apologize...

Y/N:For?

Mari:The way I've been acting has been......"inappropriate",so to speak.So.......I apologize for putting you in uncomfortable situations.

Y/N:.............Hm.I decline your apology.

Mari:Huh?

Y/N:I'm not gonna accept an apology that sounds like you're gritting through your teeth.

Mari:I don't know what you want from me.

Y/N:Hmph,I could say the same thing.

A silence fell upon the room as neither of us said anything.I was at a lost and didn't know what to do.

Y/N:If you have nothing else to say.Please leave.

I shot up and grabbed Y/N by the collar.

Mari:How bout you stop whining and accept my damn apology?!

Y/N pushed me off him with a glare on his face.

Y/N:Maybe I don't want to accept an apology from someone who would practically kill me just to get what she wants!

Mari:Excuse me?!I'm not like that at all!

Y/N:Yeah,you are!It's always gotta be done the "Madame President" way! "Madame President this" "Madame President that." No one wants to hear that bullshit all the time!

Mari:Bullshit?!You have no idea what you're talking about!

Y/N:I do!I know that you didn't give the boys time off on weekends as instructed!I know that you hate men for some unknown reason!I know that you've been trying to get me to run wild with my desires so you can blackmail me into being your pawn!

Mari:?!

Y/N:I'm not stupid,Mari.I'd appreciate it if you didn't think I was some mindless brute.

Damnit,he was right.Can't really come back from that.I sat back down on Y/N's bed as he sat down next to me.

Y/N:But,even after all that.I want to put this behind us.

I glanced at Y/N who looked back at me.

Y/N:No more ulterior motives.I know that I can't change the ways things are ran around the prison.But,we're fellow students within the U.S.C. and maybe....

Y/N got up and held out his hand towards me.

Mari:?

Y/N:We can even be friends.....What do you say?

I was quite befuddled that after everything I did,he could be so forgiving.It's not something I would've expected.I remember Meiko telling me about when Y/N took her to lunch.How he was so nice and gentlemen-like. No one is perfect,I doubt he is.But....this is a gamble.One that I.....find myself willing to take for some odd reason.

Mari:Okay,Y/N.Let's be friends.

I shook Y/N's hand and he smiled at me.I didn't even realize I was smiling myself.

.......

I made my way into the front entrance of the school where I spotted a short-blonde hair looking through someone's window from a distance.

Hajime:Um....excuse me?

Hana:Huh?!

The girl quickly turned around and readjusted herself.

Hana:Yes,can I help you?

Hajime:Yes.My name is Hajime Ryouta.I'm a new transfer student here.Mind showing me around?

Hana:New transfer student?
