************************************

Your POV:

"If I am not wrong, is it-?", Aizawa-san dragged and Yaku-san stood there all flustered. Who is she????????? I need to know right now!!!

"Okay girls, it's really not that important", he cut in before Aizawa-san could finish.

"Yaku-san, it's okay if you don't want to tell us! We won't compel you", I sighed hoping he would spill the beans.

"[L/N]-san! Um, she is from 3-6, the advanced class. Her name is Suzuki Yua",

"I knew it!", Aizawa-san blurted out excitedly as she jumped out of her seat moving towards Yaku-san.

"Why are you so excited about it? Calm down, Aizawa-san. He looks like he wants to say more", I said joining her. I am excited to meet her!

"No. I will tell you the story; short and sweet!!! These two have been having the hots for each other since the beginning of high school and they just got together. Tell me if I am wrong Yaku-san!!", she winked. Oh so, Aizawa-san knows all the tea in school!

"She is not wrong at all", Kuroo chimed as he high fived with Aizawa-san.

"Wait, you two were arguing a minute ago!", I stated clearly confused.

"She is here", Yaku-san announced.

⌜

⫷ SUZUKI YUA ⫸

⌟

A girl about 5 ft in stature, with a beautiful black hair that fell right on her shoulders, entered our class. Yaku-san gave her a sheepish grin while she walked closer to us. She came and stood between Kuroo and Yaku-san.

"Be nice to her", Yaku-san mouthed silently for me to see. What do you mean by 'be nice'? I'm nice to everyone!!!

"Hey! I am Suzuki Yua, I am the president of the Science club", she said adjusting her glasses with a smile. Advanced class and science club president! I like her already!!!

Kuroo got up from his seat and moved behind me, held my shoulders firmly, and said, "This is our one and only Kaichou sama, [Y/N]". Everyone knows me Kuroo!

"Hi! nice to meet you Suzuki-san", I waved as I brushed off his hands from my shoulders. Why did he do that?

"This whole weekend, Morisuke-kun kept talking about you [L/N]-chan. He seems to be worried about you", she said in a worried tone.

I took Yaku-san aside as I whispered, "Yaku-san, why did I become the topic of discussion?".

"You were avoiding that rooster head for quite some time which nobody usually does and we kind of confessed to each other because of that. We realized our feelings for each other when I mentioned that you two were in a rut and I think I might have worried her as well. Be aware, Kuroo and Yua-chan are very close", he disclosed. We are not in a relationship to be in a rut!!!!

"What are you two whispering about?", Suzuki-san asked curiously.

"I was just saying that we should hang out after school sometime soon!", I managed with a sheepish grin.

"Yeah, my treat. How about this weekend [L/N]-san?", Yaku-san asked saving my ass.

"Yeah cool, I'm in!", I chimed.

"We are being ignored here!", Aizawa-san announced.

"Yeah, Of course, you can come", Yaku-san offered.

"Yak-kun, that includes me as well, I'm guessing?", Kuroo questioned.

Yaku-san: "No" | Suzuki-san: "Yes"

They said almost at the same time. Uh-oh, I need to find an excuse to leave!!! Kuroo and Yaku-san needs to sort this out sooner than later!

"Kuroo-kun will be coming and that's final", Suzuki-san commanded.

"But-"

Suzuki-san walked near Yaku-san. She stood on her toes to whisper something in Yaku-san's ears and said, "Pretty please?" and she winked at him.

"Ooohh okay", he said as pink tinted his ears. What is happening? Why is he getting red?

Suzuki-san waved a bye to us all and she left our class. I lowkey wanted to ask Yaku-san what she told him, but that could be something personal as well. So, I decided not to. I unexpectedly got an SOS from our treasurer. Nishiyama-kun wanted the executive board to meet in the council room ASAP.

Before I left, "Yaku-san what happened to the list I asked for?", I inquired.

"I got it. Let's go", Aizawa-san notified.

We left to the council room in a hurry. Nishiyama-kun was already there with a bunch of papers in his hands. He looked distraught. After all the executive board members had gathered, he started to explain what was going on. It was about our School Summer Festival. He let us in on all the information he had gathered from the festival and the staff committee.

"We have to conduct this School Summer festival. We weren't able to conduct it last year", Nishiyama-kun asserted.

"Okay, but why do you seem distressed?", one of the student relations officers asked.

"We don't have enough funds!"

"What do you mean by we don't have enough funds? The school has just begun!"

"We have to take it to the staff committee!"

The board members started to throw blames and suggestions of their own accord and the lunch was over by the time this discussion had become a full-on argument between one another. I was silently grasping information but was mildly concerned about something and I wanted to confirm it privately.

"Decorum guys!", I hollered whacking the table.

I heard a bunch of apologies. I dismissed the council except for Nishiyama-kun and Aizawa-san. Since the executive board looked after the school affairs spending most of our time in the student council room, the hours used for this matter were counted as attendance or in other words OD (On-Duty). Time passed and we were still discussing the summer festival and how to make it happen this year without fail.

"It's okay. No need for formalities, you can call us by our given name", Aizawa-san smiled.

"Alright Akihiko-san, how much we got for this year?", I interrogated the treasurer.

"30% less than what we had last year and 40% less than what we had the year before", he responded.

"Why the cut?", Asami-san prodded.

"I don't know why, but we should look into it. I got a gut feeling that we might find something if we looked closely", Akihiko-san stated anxiously. He said it out loud.

School wouldn't cut off the money and expect the council to function at 100% efficiency. I was new here; I didn't know much but I wanted to get to the bottom of it. I wanted to know why the school committee is testing us. Are they trying to pressure me as the Kaichou to see how I would proceed? Or the school management knows something that my council and I don't.

"I will help you with it-"

"Also, Asami-san! since you have the list that Yaku-san prepared, I want you to get in contact with the student relations officers and the class representatives and make a list of bullies and rule-breakers. Cross-check the list you already have with the one you will be preparing. We will be going for a boar hunt soon!", I smirked.

"I got you!", she saluted and ushered off to work.

Akihiko-san and I started to look through the book of finances starting 5 years back. We both were hoping to find something. Some mistakes that a former treasurer could have possibly made.

"We can't waste time on going through the finances of the past years. We need to do something with what we have got", Akihiko-san sighed.

"What do you propose that we do?", I questioned.

"We cannot say no to this festival, we cannot find any irregularities in time, we cannot ask why the funds have been reduced. Ugghhhh, this is futile", he clamored.

"How much does the festival committee require? Maybe we can manage by putting off some expenses to later", I tried to calculate.

"We can't. If the funds provided and the expenses are met, it would be a different story. I am telling you that we cannot even proceed with the normal expenditure. There is so much liability. We need to get at least a 20% increase in our funds soon.", he urged.

"What we can do right now is to request for more money. I will make the proposal; I want you to get the festival committee to sign on it. Can you do that for me?", I queried.

"Yes, I will go talk to them right now"

"Wait, before you leave, try and persuade them to make some budget cuts even if they agree to sign on the proposal. It might help a little if our proposal gets rejected", I requested.

He agreed and he left to meet with the festival committee. The announcement about the festival was not made public to the students yet. We only had a tentative date in hand. I started to draft the proposal, requesting the school board to allocate more funds for the student council. I had an intuition that it will get rejected and the school board will ask us to manage with whatever we have been assigned.

Around 3 pm, a familiar voice called out, "I am coming in!", with a knock.

"Yeah, if it's the final name list of your club members, please leave it on the table and leave. Thanks", I replied hastily.

I paid no attention to who it was as I had been deeply drowning in thoughts about the summer festival. Two people emerged into the council room as I could only see their silhouettes due to the setting sun.

"That's sad because we are not going to leave anytime soon!", Kuroo declared stepping in further inside.

"Hey, you didn't eat your lunch so I got you a sandwich", Yaku-san said with a smile.

"Oh hey, it's you. I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention. And thanks for the sandwich. You didn't have to-"

"Eat. Now.", Yaku-san commanded.

"Geez mom, chill I'll eat", I unwrapped the sandwich and took a large bite. "Oh Kuroo-kun, it's got some meat in this. You want?", I asked slyly.

"I think I will be becoming vegan soon", Kuroo responded, declining my offer.

As I continued to nibble the sandwich being lost in thoughts, they took a seat in front of me and Yaku-san asked, "What's got you so engrossed?"

Officially, I cannot tell them about what's going on because the summer festival might even get canceled if something goes awry and I didn't want them both to get excited over something that might not happen. On the other hand, I can get to know about the last summer festival and how fruitful it ended up to be.

"I was just going through the school album and-"

"You miss Inarizaki don't you?", Yaku-san delved.

"Wow, I'm that transparent huh? Well, I cannot say that I don't miss my old school and the people there. We foxes enjoyed way too much. You know I was a bit close with their volleyball team as well? Actually, our... I'm sorry I meant their banner would say Omoide Nanka Iran which translates to 'We don't need (things like) memories' and I have so many memories from-"

"Stop, stop with your reminiscing. You are not a Vixen anymore, you are a Kitten now, Kaichou sama!", Kuroo purred.

"Actually Kuroo, fun fact: Female cats are called as Queens and I am sure I have become one", I said with a smirk and cocked an eyebrow.

"For once in your lifetime Kuroo, shut the fuck up and let her speak", Yaku-san scolded him. "You continue, [L/N]-san". This is why you are my favorite human Yaku-san.

"I was about to say I have so many memories from the School Summer festival there. This time of the year, we'd be busy with preparations for the festival. Does Nekoma have any Summer festivals?", I pretended to be curious.

"Yes, we do but last year it got canceled due to a particular issue and other circumstances. I hope we could have one this year", Yaku-san shrugged.

"Aww really? What exactly happened? Why did they cancel it last year?", I questioned with actual curiosity this time.

"That's not important now is it?", Kuroo sweated.

"I am the Kaichou now, I should know about these things. Go on Yaku-san, you tell me", I pressed.

"When we were in our first year, we had an amazing Summer festival. It happened before our Inter-high tournament. Ahhh, what can I say? the food stalls made us crave for more, the game stalls held us playing all day, the music kept us moving, the dances were raving, the theatre production made all of us cry and most importantly the Hanabi (the fireworks) were dazzling", he briefed.

"Yak-kun I think we should go for our practice", Kuroo interjected. Why is he interrupting? Something is fishy!

"Urusai (shut up)" Yaku-san growled. "They canceled the Matsuri (festival) last year because a couple of students got burned when the crackers busted earlier than it should have and some of our senpais got caught doing the dirty", he cringed nudging Kuroo.

"Uhh, what's happening here?", I pointed out Yaku-san nudging a very silent Kuroo.

"It's just that he-"

"Yak-kun", Kuroo warned.

"It is not my secret to tell so, I will leave you guys to it. I will see you in the gym", Yaku-san said as he waved me a bye and left us together.

"Your skeletons I presume?", I prodded to what he said the other day.

"Something like that", he sighed.

"Chotto matte (wait a minute), did you get caught-"

"I didn't go all the way okay? We were just-"

"Nope, stop it right there. I don't wanna know", I closed my ears and eyes. I am not supposed to get jealous. I am not supposed to get jealous. I am not supposed to get jealous. It is in the past... past... past....

It was awkward and I grew envious of some chick that I didn't even know of. I knew that I wasn't the first girl he laid eyes on but I couldn't help but imagine some other girl in his beautiful brawny arms. It is not like I haven't had any boyfriend before but hearing this just made me uncomfortable.

A long pause later, "You should go. I've got some work to do", I said nonchalantly hoping that he would leave.

He left without another word and Asami-san came in a while after. We were discussing what we should do after we have the list of rule breakers in hand. We decided to discuss this with the whole executive board once the name list arrives. Asami-san wanted to leave early as she wanted to catch up on the latest 'fruit's basket' episode.

"Yeah, I will be fine on my own, go. Don't worry", I reassured her.

I kept looking through the expenses of the past 5 years made by the student council and I couldn't find anything useful. I took science because I was bad at accounting. I realized I was wasting time and it was about time I headed home. I noted down that I needed to contact the accounts-handling staff for help and that's when Kuroo busted into the council room startling me.

"Come with me", he dragged me out of my seat in a rush.

"Where?"

"I will fill you in when we board the train to Shibuya", he declared.

He hauled me off the council room and out of the school as I suffered to keep up with his strides. He particularly seemed angry about something but I kept wondering what he needed me for. After 10 minutes of a trampy walk, we finally boarded the bullet train which was fairly occupied.

He kept cursing under his breath for god knows what, and I was pretty much pissed for what he did. He cannot just keep making the same mistake again and again by barging into my boundaries. He needed a lesson and I was dead planned on giving him one.

"Kuroo, are aware of what you are doing?", I hissed.

"Yeah", he answered obliviously.

I was twitching with anger and I just wanted to punch him in his gut and scream some unearthly profanities but I remembered that I was on the train and I had to suck it up. After a 20-minute ride to Shibuya, we started to walk in a dim-lighted alleyway.

I halted on my tracks after I grew tired of his antics and declared, "I will not move an inch if you don't tell me what's going on".

"Mika-chan and that hebi (snake) are dating as of today", he yelled.

"Why are you yelling at me? And who the fuck are you talking about?", I yelled back.

"Mika-chan is my childhood friend, we went to the same middle school, that hebi and I used to crush on her and now that hebi is dating her and I want to-"

"Woah Woah slow down there buddy, I don't understand shit", I paused him.

"Suguru called me and boasted that he started dating Mika-chan and he wants to show her off to me and that's where we are going. We don't have time, just come", he dragged me by my arms. Who the hell is Suguru again?

A short walk later, we entered a huge yet beautiful park. Ms. Moon was being shy as she hid behind a lump of clouds that shadowed her beauty. A chill breeze calmed me as I saw a beautiful fountain flared up with night lights that just made it much prettier. The park was filled with bratty children and their phone-doting parents.

A few old couples were walking around the park, hand in hand losing their corpulent calories. But the most marvelous sight was their smile and laughter. The park emitted happy waves and I de-pressured like a bottle of soda. The ambiance was heavenly as this park showed off the seven stages of life and I realized I wanted to smile when I was old and frail. It reminded me of the mere mortal that I am. Being here with Kuroo was just an icing on the cake.

"There they are, let's go", he said as he spotted a couple, tugging me along with him.

"Look who we have here", a guy with a well-combed hair said with a sinful smile.

I tugged Kuroo's arm so that he would lean down. He bent down and I whispered into his ear, "Who is this guy? He is smoking hot. Please tell me he's not dating that doll. Even she is very pretty. What have you done to me?"

He whispered back, "[F/N]-chan that hurt my heart!".

"Tetsu-chan, how have you been?", the shorter girl spoke softly.

"Mika-chan, do you really have to date him?", he said in dismay which earned him a rough nudge from me.

"A guy with no girlfriend shouldn't comment on who should date whom, right Mika-chan?", he said as he slithered his arms around her waist.

"So, you are the hebi?", I spoke out of curiosity.

"Yes, and who might this be", he deviously eyed me.

"This is [Y/N], the Kaichou of our school and my girlfriend", Kuroo announced as smirk greeted his lips. I'm what now?

"Hi [L/N]-chan, nice to meet you", Mika-chan smiled.

"So, this vicious cat is your boyfriend? Like how did you even accept? Have you looked at his hair?", he questioned my choices. Did I accept him?

Kuroo softly clutched my hands to grab my attention and mouthed, "Play along" Do I have a choice?

"Just like how Mika-chan accepted your Slytherin ass!", I responded with a sleek smirk of my own.

Kuroo was more than overjoyed. The three of us kept throwing each other insults like we have been the best of friends. Mika-chan couldn't stop smiling at our antics as she enjoyed our playful bickering. At times, she would easily burn Kuroo and Daishou-kun with her timely comebacks. We lost track of time and it was almost 8.30 pm as we bid our farewells.

Lastly, Daishou-kun walked near us both as he pointed his fingers at me and said, "She is a keeper. So, I give you fair warning, Tetsuro... pint-sized Kaichou or not; if I catch you breaking her heart, I will poison you!" His eyes met mine and he said, "And you will call me when he is being a bitch. That clear?"

"First of all, I am not pint-sized and secondly, I thought you were more of a Tom Riddle, I didn't imagine that you would pull a Severus Snape like that!!!", I dramatically gasped.

"What can I say, I sort of like you. Mata ne (See you later)", he waved to us and left with his lovely girlfriend and we left for the train station to go back to Nerima.

"Ahhh, you saved me there. Thank you [F/N]-chan", he praised after we boarded the train.

"Do you always lie to your friends?", I asked as my face turned sour.

"[F/N]-chan, I just stated something that is going to happen in the future", he smugly replied.

I gave him a glare and said, "In your dreams."

The rest of the journey was filled with our endless squabble that the rest of the passengers moved away from us to avoid hearing us. He walked me home despite my stubborn 'No'.

"Thank you for walking home with me and no you are not coming in", I said in advance.

"Okay, at least take these notes I made in class. Seems like you missed a lot", he handed me his notebook.

"But I don't have time for this. I have to look into the council finances", I blabbered.

"[F/N]-chan, why are you interested in this finance nonsense?", he questioned clearly irritated.

"What do you mean by nonsense? I am the Kaichou. This is part of the job", I replied.

"You signed the budget for this year last week itself. What finances are you talking about?", he prodded further.

"I am sorry. I can't tell you about it, Kuroo-san."

"I know there is something that you are hiding. You can tell me [F/N]-chan", he persisted. Aren't you hiding something too? Let's play catch, shall we?

"Fine. I think there are some accounting discrepancies and I want to get to the depth of it", I ascertained.

"There won't be anything like that, you are probably just tired. You should get some sleep", he slyly suggested as he waved me a goodbye.

"What do you know Kuroo? You need to tell me now", I gave him a chance.

"Nothing."

"Stop lying", I furiously accused.

"You won't find anything!"

"How do you know that?"

"I know that!"

"Then you should also know that I am not going to stop!!!"

"Get some sleep!! Bye!!", he heaved an exasperated sigh as he stomped away leaving our conversation to hang in the air.

What the fuck does he NOT want me to know?
