Natsumi
I hope everything is just a dream. All the excuses to wake up in the morning I did already in the assumption that everything would change, but I was wrong. Because every time I wake up, I am struck by the fact that everything will never change.
"Aw, what the hell?" I was immediately grabbed by my head when it suddenly stung when I woke up.
When was the last time I did this? Has it been that long? It's only now that I've experienced this headache again. I checked the time on my cellphone.
"Shit!" I'm curse when I see the time. I hurried to get up and went straight to the comfort room to take a shower.
I decided to soak myself in the bathtub to somehow get rid of my headache.
I'm sure there is a lot of security now at the University especially when my parents have arrived. How can I move freely? It took me a few more minutes and I went out of the tub to get ready.
I need to get rid of this headache before it gets worst but how? During my time of not drinking too much as well as getting rid of the hangover, I forgot as well.
I immediately drove my car to the university. I know, Michelle is waiting for me. Maybe Dad called her and ask what am I doing these past months in the university. I have a lot of trust in Michelle, of course, she will tell the truth. I'm not doing anything wrong but she also won't say what she shouldn't say.
I was surprised by the crowd today at the university. What the hell is happening?!
I hurried to the Head Mistress office. I caught her sitting and reading the papers.
"Did Dad already talk to you?"
"Yes, Miss."
"What did you tell him?" I ask.
"The real thing is happening and shouldn't be said, like what the mean girls did to you and the kidnapping almost a month ago," she replied.
"Good."
"Care of anything Miss?" she asked.
"No, I'm fine. What the hell is happening here? Why so many people?" she looked at me with astonishment. Did I forget something?
"I'm sorry Miss, I forgot to remind you. Today is the start of Sports Fest. I prioritized what needs to be fixed since your parents arrived. Please forgive me, My Princess." she bowed at the same time.
I just grabbed my head. Why is this happening to me?
"Forgiven," I said and sat down in her seat. She just remained standing.
I chose to stay a few minutes here in her office first. I feel when I leave this room right away something bad will happen.
Soon I also went out to help my colleagues. Nothing would happen to me if I just sat there and one more thing I had to forget first even for a moment my problem. Even just for a moment, even just a week.
I started my work by touring the booths. I was almost amazed at the beauty and arrangement of the booths now lined up in front of me. I don’t expect this to be the outcome of their proposals about the booth they will build. There is food, art, henna, boutiques, and much more.
This is why Tri-Zumi is a well-known University.
As I walked and continued to stare at the booths, I was restless. It was as if someone was watching what I was doing. I feel like something bad is not going to happen.
I looked around me. Every time I look back, I see my security guards doubling in number than before. They are as civilian as the people around them. I ordered them to wear civilian clothes just to hide my identity. In case something bad happens to me, just assume that they are good samaritans.
"Hey, Natsumi!" I turned to the person who calls me.
I looked at the person in front of me with astonishment. I know him, I just can’t remember his name.
"It's Kent, remember?" he said smiling.
"Oh, sorry. I'm just busy. I didn't recognize you."
"It's okay. I know you're doing a lot right now. Come on? Let's go to our booth?" he said.
I agreed to come, I also don't know what their booth is. Maybe they passed the proposal too late.
When we got to their booth, I saw my fellow Council.
"Lyka," I call.
She turned to me and smiled.
"Ms. SC President."
She handed me a checklist.
"To check if they make it great Ms. President. From the installations, products, and more. Last proposal, first in the checklist."
I looked at her checklist. I was overwhelmed by the number of booths listed. We were just at the entrance of the booth station.
When Lyka saw my reaction to the checklist.
"There's more in the West wing, Ms. President," she said smiling. Seriously?!
"Looks like you have more to do this week than us." astonished Kent said next to me.
I just started with the checklist given to me. We'll do it for two days, but Lyka says they'll just go to the West wing this afternoon to finish the checklist. I was surprised because they no longer included me in doing this.
At this event, they see and get to know the owner of the University. It's once in a blue moon event, and the students don't miss it.
After we did, I immediately went to the SC Room to think about the ball. I need to make a proposal about the ball and submit it to the Head Mistress but it is another way around. When I arrived, I immediately saw the proposal Michelle had made for the ball.
There is also a list of ball themes these past years, and the recent theme is Coachella. Before the Coachella, Cosplay is the theme. Who is the President of these times? And did Michelle allow it?
I just read it and change some materials to use. I'm the one who is responsible for this so I want it to be perfect.
I immediately went to the Head Mistress office to give the revised proposal for the ball.
"A masquerade ball? Are you serious about this Miss? Will you introduce yourself as a Princess?" said Michelle after she read the ball's revised proposal.
I just looked at her as I raised an eyebrow. What was she thinking? That I would harm myself? I still love myself.
"I'm just concerned about you, Miss.," she says.
I didn’t speak, I just looked at her and what her reaction would be.
"I knew it, you will be the ones to follow. I'll take care of it," she says
"I want it to be perfect. As an owner, I want no problems to happen."
"Yes, Miss."
I’m back in the SC Room, and there’s something I didn’t expect to see.
"And what are you doing here?" I asked the two men sitting in front of me on the couch of this room.
"We don't want to be outside anymore," KC said.
"They are coming for us." Zeke second.
"Can we just stay here?" they said at the same time and I felt sorry for them.
"You two suppose to be in the booth, not here." I blankly answer.
Instead of answering me, they just look at their phone like I'm not here in front of them. Anytime really, when they want they can. Why can't I?
I sat in my seat and watched my cousins.
Kenshin may look fine but he is dying to talk to the woman he loved. I know his reason why he did it but I choose to not open my mouth. How did I know? Because it is pretty obvious.
Zy is like a joker in us, sometimes annoying but with a great heart. I know he has something that we don't know. Based on what I observed in him, there seems to be something missing in him that he is looking for. Maybe someone? But it can be different.
I have turned my attention back to the paper works and some stuff we will talk about once my colleagues get back.
I was stopped by what I was doing when someone put a paper bag on the table and some drinks were included. I also noticed that my cousins were looking at the person who had just arrived here in this room.
"I knew I was right that I suspect you're here. But, I still ask your secretary where you are. It's already lunch and you're still here? It's good that I bought food." he kept saying as he adjusted what he had bought.
"KC, Zeke, come join us. Nami won't finish it."
"What are you doing here Tyson?" KC asked looking at Jenthrix seriously.
"Just brought food for Nami," Jenthrix replied.
Suddenly the atmosphere in the SC Room changed because of the two men in front of me. KC is serious. Why does he look so serious at Jenthrix?
Zeke, on the other side, is eating. There was no intention to join the two with us.
"I'm a man too, I know what you're doing Tyson," KC said seriously.
Doing? Which one? Who? Is it Jenthrix? Does he have any bad intentions towards me? I'm confused.
I looked at Zeke who was now busy eating.
"Do something," I said.
"Let them go. I'm still keeping my face," said him and just continued eating.
My head hurts and there is still tension between these two.
"Are you courting her?" I suddenly looked at KC because of what he said.
I could see the shock in Jenthrix's eyes but he suddenly smiled. A genuine one.
This is my heart again, going crazy again. Every time I see him smile like that, my heart goes crazy that I can’t understand.
My heart sank even more because of his answer.
"Yes. From now on, I'm officially courting her."
