Takemichi X Everyone Novels & Stories

The fact I can't hear if someone is right behind me. "I invited everyone, so I hired the club just for your party so that you will know everyone." Beatrice stands smiling before hugging me. "Happy Birthday." I nod at her words, looking around at the people. There is no one here I know. Where is John? I know him. I can't stop myself from laughing. The fact she thinks I know these people amazes me. Walking in, people keep coming over. You would expect them to be coming to wish me a happy birthday. Instead, they just smile at me and greet Beatrice. Some don't even notice me.

Yumeko turns towards her with an expressionless face, “I know five fat people in this academy… and you are four of them.” Tamara coughs, trying to hide her laugh. Nabi slaps Yumeko on the back of her head in anger, and Yumeko simply grins. “Hi, I’m Catalina,” I announce, and they all glance at me, nodding. “Nice to meet you too.” “I like you, Catalina, you’re cute and innocent,” Nabi says and smiles at me. Yumeko also turns to me and lifts her shoulders, “What she said.”

I laughed until tears formed, trickling down my face and mixing with my blood. Everyone in the room froze.

“Only if I'm the first person to know.” “Sure. Now I have to mind-link everyone to fix your mess.” There was a knock on the door. “I told you to leave.” “Whoa, what did I do to deserve that greeting?” Takumi asked. “I wouldn't have said that if I knew it was you.” “Anyway, everyone's been acting weird since I got here. Did something happen?” “Long story short, Mitsu told everyone about us being engaged before I did and now, everyone thinks that we're getting married soon. And get this, she and all the ladies in the pack have been planning our wedding behind my back since I was 12.”

She wasn't home when I got back two days ago— it’s a shame she's back, I wanted the apartment to myself for a bit. “What do you mean?”. “It’s everywhere Sorahiko! That an employee of Rohai Corp is now in prison! That Takemichi guy, you know?!”. She called him Takemichi. I’m cackling. Oh, that’s funny as hell. “You mean Takahashi”. I reply calmly. “Yes!! That one! Tell me about it, Sora!!”. She’s pulling my arm with unholy glee. Sakura Hoshino, what a gossip you are.

"Tired already?" I didn't speak. I could sense that he was in a good mood, so I pulled his hand down. Sean chuckled, his grip tightening as he drew me closer. He brushed my lips with his fingertips, his heartbeat steady in my ears. "We'll stay for a bit and then leave," he said. Unable to resist Sean's rare display of tenderness, I fell asleep in his arms like that. At some point in my haze, I dreamed of the day we first met. When we entered the private room, everyone else was already gathered. The man of the hour was Luke Short, Sean's childhood friend.

It was a part of the birthday trip I had planned for myself. I remembered clearly that I had personally chosen the music playing in the background. Comments kept flooding beneath the post. [What a perfect family!] [That little girl looks just like Mr. Leonberg!] Vera did not reply. She only dropped a smiling emoji. Then, in the background of the video, someone’s voice sounded. “Aren’t you supposed to pick up Indy?” Shane’s voice sounded next. It was low and gentle. “I can go later. Indy is very patient. She won’t get upset.”

Marco tried mocking me. "Hmmmm....it's getting boring now," Enzo coughed. He filled his glass with water. Alessandro "I was thinking about Alessandro," I confessed. The whole room was dead silent. We had promised each other never to mention that name. Until now * * * * * *

Lernie turned to me again, "or your Daddy, Mayor Haidezo, and your Uncle, Governor Haidezo, personally sent you here to make sure that Kuya Drew is dead?" It was like a bomb that exploded in front of Ryker, Idert, Ivan and Tanya. Ryker let go of the dslr camera he was holding but I immediately caught it as if I had expected that to happen. I took a step closer to Tanya to hand the camera. Ryker retreated, I don't know if he just gave me the way or if he suddenly felt that he didn't want to be near me anymore. Tanya bent down and used both hands to reach for the camera I was handing. I also caught a glimpse of Ivan and Dert. I caught Dert's judgmental grin and Ivan's clenched jaw.

“We don’t have much left, Thomas spilt most of it!” Thomas rolled his eyes at the twins and looked sheepishly at Tom, giving him an apologetic smile. Tom gave an awkward smile back. Another tremor, this time, stronger. Vlad stepped out of the circle, “We should take them head-on. Who’s with me?” Marcelino raised his hand and nudged at Thomas. Thomas winced, “Do I have a choice?”
