4. Sudden Change of Attitude

last update Last Updated: 2021-08-02 16:08:17

When their teacher for their last-period class dismissed them and leaves the room, Miyazaki Nana started stuffing her things inside her bag along with others.

She was just about to zip her bag when she felt her friends' presence surrounding her now.

"I can't wait for your big party tonight," Ito Yui squealed in excitement. If Nana remembered it well, this would be the second time hearing this girl saying the exact same thing.

On her right was her boyfriend, Miyamura Kai, standing near her with one of his hands draped around Yui's shoulder like a possessive boyfriend.

"I'm sure it's going to be a blast," Kai said with some unnecessary exaggeration that's inserted into his tone.

But little did they know that Nana can see right through them as she read what is exactly on their minds right now.

Even though Yui doesn't tell it right on her face, Nana knows that she is madly jealous of her. Yui's father is currently the director of High Rise Telecom of which her dad is the chairman.

Base on what she can read on her mind at the moment, Nana is fully aware that Yui wanted to have everything that Nana possesses right now, may it be popularity, power, money... and her boyfriend's love? 

Whoa. That is pretty messed up, to think that they are now in a relationship but Kai here likes somebody else.

As Nana further reads on her mind right now, the very reason why Yui is sticking her ass around a girl like her is that her dad tells her to and nothing more-- which kind of hurt her on so many levels right now.

Does this mean that all Yui did after being friends with her since their freshmen days is all an act that her father planned all along?

Shifting her gaze to Miyamura Kai, Nana learned that the girl he secretly likes was her all this time yet doesn't have the courage to say it. 

For him, the reason he asked Yui to be his girlfriend and not her is that he wanted to stay close to Nana as much as possible, which is kinda sick if you ask Nana about it.

At the right time, her other fake friend, Watanabe Rin, also arrived behind Yui and tackled her by the shoulder which surprised the latter.

Rin smiled oh-so-sweetly at Nana which the latter returned out of obligation.

"So, where are we hanging out before Nana's big party arrives? Technically, we still have a few hours left before Nana prepares for her debut party. Isn't that right, Nana-chan?"

On the other hand, Nana wasn't able to answer her directly and just dead-ass stared at her as Rin's hidden thoughts were gushing out in the form of whispers that she could totally hear right now.

"Let's delay her for a bit, shall we?" says Rin's thoughts as if she has ill plans for her not to make it to her party on time.

Nana could not help but feel sad as the realization slowly dawned on her that none of these people she had thought of as friends are true to her when she thought she had their back when they needed her, just as she is to them.

Instead, she discovers that they are just waiting for her downfall and everybody would be happy when that time comes.

Knowing all of this since this morning, how could Nana even bear to look them in the eye and act like she doesn't know everything?

Pursing her lips, Nana replied, "You guys just go ahead. All I wanted to do right now is to go home and read some books perhaps."

Saying this earned Nana several confused looks from her friends on the spot. Even when they aren't saying something, Nana could pretty much tell that they are now getting confused and curious with her sudden change of attitude towards them.

Well, what can she say? After learning the truth, the once happy-go-lucky Nana that they used to know is now gone and Nana also isn't sure if she will still continue hanging out with them after her birthday party.

Rin awkwardly laughed at her response and asked, "Are you sure you want to spend your leisure time reading boring books instead of actually having fun with us?"

For some reason, Nana was quite offended by what Rin said and snickered.

"Well, what do you know about fun anyway?" Nana spat before she stood from her chair, picked up her bag, and left the room without waiting for her response.

Rin was just left dumbfounded to where she is currently standing and looked at her friends as if she was asking what the hell just happened.

***

Miyazaki Nana was walking straight to the parking lot, where she knows Mr. Sawada was waiting for her with her BMW, when she felt someone grabbed her right hand that made her turn around.

She began to relax once again the moment she saw Endo Hiroshi in front of her, looking a bit confused with her surprised reaction just now.

As Nana read his mind right now, she was somehow comforted to know that she still had a genuine friend left among her social circle, when all she did during their high school years was treat him like invisible from time to time.

From the moment you became famous, you already knew that your social circle would expand overnight. She was focused on hanging out with her fake friends rather than paying any attention to the genuine ones.

Nana's popularity grows, so does her group of friends, ultimately leading her to ignore the one person who has never left her side all this time.

Thinking about it now, Nana starts to regret what she actually did with her childhood friend.

On the other hand, Endo Hiroshi arches one eyebrow at her while noticing her growing anxiety that is now showing all over her face right this instant.

"Are you alright?" Hiroshi finally asked. "I've noticed you've been acting strange lately. Is there something that I can help you with, maybe?"

Instead of answering him directly, Nana just pulled her friend into a tight hug and that confuses Hiroshi even more.

"I'm sorry, Hiroshi. Don't ask what I'm sorry for... but I just wanted to know that I am so sorry for everything."

After Nana pulls away from their hug, Hiroshi was still stunned into his place until he raises both of his hands in defeat.

"Okay... apology accepted-- whatever that means."

To help her feel better, Nana eventually invites Hiroshi to spend the rest of the afternoon with her playing video games in the gaming room just like they used to do when they were kids.

"Sure, I would love to," replied Hiroshi before he hopped inside Nana's backseat and fastened his seatbelt.

Though Endo Hiroshi finds Nana weird today, still it made him happy to know that for the first time since they went to high school... Nana preferred to hang out with him rather than with those spoiled brats in her social circle.

    Miyazaki Nana was still troubled by what is going on with her right now. And to add to her growing curiosity, she also can't stop thinking about that guy she happened to cross paths with at the school. Somehow, Nana has this weird impression that the mysterious guy she happened to met at school could be the only one who could answer all the questions that's been bugging in her mind for the past few hours. "Nana? What's the matter?" Hiroshi, her best friend, seemed to notice that something's been bothering her mind as of this moment. Upon hearing his voice, Nana snapped out of her reverie and shook her head with a tight-lipped smile on her face. Right.

    On her trip to the function hall via the "secret route". that is from the hallway on the second floor that will lead her then to a staircase that directly leads her to the back entrance of the function hall where nobody would spot her immediately, Miyazaki Nana almost had a heart attack when she happened to cross paths with her best friend, Endo Hiroshi as soon as she reached downstairs. "I knew you would come here," Hiroshi said with a smirk on the corner of his lips. The young man was looking dashing himself with the white coat and black slacks on with no eyeglasses donned on his face. Instead, he deemed it best to wear contacts for now. And knowing that Hiroshi hates wearing them more than anything else in this world (since he finds it irritating in his eyes, as he said,). Nana was quite surprised to see him with his contacts now. "Hiroshi!" Nana called out, surprise was all over her tone right now. "It's surprising to see you here." "Yet I was not

    What sets apart this mysterious guy from others who are present in this hall, or from the students at school is that Miyazaki Nana can't seem to read his thoughts at all. It's like he has some sort of power that could block her mind-reading powers from attempting to read his mind. He is just like what he looks from his outward appearance. Dark. Mysterious. Odd. Yet despite having these qualities, Miyazaki Nana didn't consider him to be a dangerous one. She just can't sense any negative energy coming from him, that's all. Even so. she still wouldn't allow herself to let her guard down when he is around. Speaking of the devil, he must have immediately spotted her location since he looked like he was approaching him. With his wide steps, the guy could almost reach him in no time. And so he did. He had this enigmatic smile that Nana couldn't most decipher as he looked at her in the most intense way.

    "Happy Birthday Nana-chan!" It was her friend Watanabe Rin, or so Nana thought her to be before she discovered her mind-reading powers, that greeted her the moment she and her other peers were able to approach her from afar. "We've given your present to the grumpy butler over there," Her other friend Ito Yui said with glee. She was clinging to the arm of her boyfriend and famous jock on their campus, Miyamura Kai. Miyazaki Nana tried to decipher their thoughts to know if they've put something on her gift. Luckily, their mind says that it was just a cheap brand of cologne, a box of handkerchiefs, and coconut shampoo that they have brought for her. Good to know it was not explosives or anything of that sort. She'll make sure to give it to the maids later when she will have the chance. "Lovely dress, by the way, Nana-chan," Miyamura Kai complimented, but his eyes were checking her out from head to toe... like he was already stripping Nana n

    On September 1, 2003, a meteor that was nearly the size of the planet Earth, which was deemed radioactive by astrologists, threatened the existence of all living and non-living things on the planet when it was discovered flying towards our atmosphere. The news of this bizarre meteor, which astrologers named M-2003, quickly spread all over the world as it approached the Earth's atmosphere. Within that same day after it had been detected by the satellites owned by Kiyokawa, one of the most powerful and advanced countries ever existed located in the Asian region in terms of technology, the government from that nation has immediately taken action in hopes of taking down the meteor which, by that time, was fast approaching Earth's atmosphere.
