Chapter 3

It is the typical day in school, clear blue sky, students chatting around and rushed footsteps can be heard by the hallway. “Hah, hah, hah, finally I’ve arrived!” There are still 5 minutes left before the school bell rings.

“Hi hi hi”, girls in my classroom giggles.

Kya! So handsome!, they screamed.

I took a peek at them to see what was going on.

One of the girls noticed me and asked if I wanted to join them.

“Kiritani-chan, are curious to see it too?”,said the girl who was holding a magazine in her hand.

I nodded.

Four of us make a small circle around the table, waiting and anticipating to look at what's inside this month's sports magazine. Judging by the cover I can tell what is all the hype about. There, posing on the front cover of the sports magazine, none other than, Kirigaya Haru.

“Kya\~! It's Kirigaya-sama\~!”, they all squeal in union.

“Ah\~, look at his face!”

“No, look at that body!”

“His abs! Uh\~ I feel like I’m melting”, the girls said dramatically.

Boy they sure are in heaven. I like what I’m seeing too but this is too embarrassing for me. I can only look at it for 3 seconds and I can feel my body temperature rising already. I have to say all the photos here can definitely send 90% of the women population into orgasms.

They kept flipping the pages until in the middle. There it is, right in the middle of the magazine, in between pages, there is an A2 size poster of a shirtless man none other than the prince himself.

“I can finally rest in peace now”, said the girl while hugging the poster tightly.

“Ne, ne, Kiritani-chan what does it feel like sitting next to him?”, the girls asked eagerly.

“Umm its …”

Slam! The door suddenly opens, cutting off my sentence.

“Good morning Kirigaya-sama\~!” They greeted the prince.

After that the girls started chatting among themselves, quieter and more behaved so as not to disturb the prince.

The prince just quietly walked to his seat and put his head on the table.

“He must have another photo shoot last night, seeing him dead tired today”.

I sat at my place quietly, reading my comic book trying not to disturb his sleep. Even when the teacher came in he didn’t wake up and the teacher let him be because he knows it is not worth it to disturb his sleep. The teacher learns his lessons from before.

“Kirigaya-san…”, the teacher stops in mid sentence .

The teacher remembered the last time he tried to wake him up ended up having the chalk smashed onto his forehead for asking him to solve stupid addmath questions on the board. He solved it in minutes despite his half awake state.

“Never mind I let you pass this time”, the teacher said, giving up.

“The one sitting next to him, Kiritani-san please come up and solve this question on board”.

“I-I…”, I nervously stand up from my seat. To tell you the truth, I really do not know how to answer that question.

The sound of the chair scraping against the floor could be heard clearly as the room suddenly went silent at his sudden action. Kirigaya Haru woke up from his beauty sleep and stood up.

“I’ll do it” , he said, volunteering to solve the questions. All eyes followed his movements, not believing what they were seeing.

Did he just willingly solve all the questions on board?, everyone thought.

“You’re the best Haru-sama\~”, Eiji said playfully. Everyone giggles for Eiji teasing.

“Ahem”, the teacher cleared his throat. “Thank you Kirigaya-san, you can go back to your seat”. He casually walked back to his seat and went back to sleep.

“Okay,the class ends here, all of you are dismissed.”

My art club ends early today. So I decided to wait for Akane at the tennis court. Unfortunately, I ended up losing my way there.

“Seriously Sakura, you are a final year student yet you still get lost in school?”, I sigh.

“Sakura-chan!”, Eiji called out to me.

“Eiji-san!”, I wave my hands calling him.

“Judging by your face, I am guessing you lost your way again, right?”, Eiji said.

“Hehe, you got me”, feeling embarrassed while scratching my cheeks.

“So tell me where you are heading to?”

“I am looking for the tennis court. I want to see Akane playing today”.

“Pfth, haha, Eiji laughs at me. This is the east wing Sakura-chan. The tennis court is on the west wing. Come on, follow me. I'm heading there too”. I followed him closely behind not to get lost on the way.

“Here we are, so the girls tennis court is on the right and the boy tennis court is on the left”, Eiji showed to me. “I will be heading to the boys tennis court now. You won't get lost anymore can you?”, he said.

“Of course not, I am not that stupid”, I said.

Eiji, not believing in her word decided to test her a bit. “Raised your right hand”, Eiji instructed me.

I subconsciously raised my hand but unfortunately the wrong side.

“See? I don’t trust you”, Eiji said. “Oh come on\~”, I whined.

“Sakura-chan\~!”, Akane came running to me.

“I guess I can leave now”, Eiji leaves her to Akane hands.

“Are you here to see me play today? But I just finished my match a moment ago”, Akane said.

“It’s okay, I can see it again next time”.

“Why don't we head to the boy’s tennis court”. I heard Haru-san is playing right now?”, Akane suggests.

“Sure”, I nodded.

There were a lot of people surrounding the boys tennis court. Most of them are fangirls. That can’t be helped. Most of the tennis members are very popular in school. We squeezed our way in trying to get a nice spot to watch the match. Currently, Kirigaya-san is playing a match with a second year student. “15-love”. He scores,they are already at their final sets. Kirigaya-san, throws the ball into the mid air and hits , the ball hits into the net. “15-15”.

“Hah, hah”, Haru pant.

“Kirigaya-sama!” “Gambatte!”, the fangirls screaming.

We both joined them cheering for him but not as loud as them. My voice was practically drowned by them.

“Gambatte Kirigaya-kun!”, Haru heard.

“Huh that voice?” He secretly searched for that voice among the crowd. There he spotted her. Cheering for him with her best friend.

“Hei, girls you are here”, Eiji greeted us. “Excited to see the match aren’t you?”,he asked.

“Yes, it has been a while since I last watched tennis matches”, I said to him.

“Oi Haru\~ Don’t miss the shot will you? We are watching you!”, Eiji shouts, cheering for him.

“Tch, you don't have to say”, Haru muttered.

He gets himself ready for the next serve, fixing his eyes at his opponent, smirking at him. The match ended sooner than I expected after that, Kirigaya Haru won, of course.
