I should walk .. “ I said weakly.

“Come on, if you walk and keep daydreaming you will keep hitting poles.” He said chuckling not only him but I heard Daichi-sama as well.

I blushed out of embarrassment and said, “Oh sure, thank you very much.”

The ride towards school was filled with silence, the one thing I hated most is awkward silence because it makes me uncomfortable and I hate being uncomfortable. Now that I think about it, later when I go out of the car people will see me. Oh no this will add fuel to the fire, definitely. Second day of school and it is getting worse day by day.

We reached the school and I climbed out of the car immediately, perplexed people might see me. The other three climbed out gracefully, they’re more graceful than I am. How disappointing for me. I bowed to them and said my thanks and hurried to look for Megumi though she can’t be found.
When the class started, Megumi then came in the class. “Where have you been? I have been looking for you.” I said.

“Sorry had to look for someone to talk about something.” she said. “Who did you want to meet? It’s only the second day of school but sure.” I said.

“It was just some people. Not much, they’re from a different class though. It was nothing important.” she said, not meeting my eye.

Before lunch, an announcement was made for me to go to the Student Council room around lunch. At lunch Megumi and I ate, after we ate Megumi had to see someone again and left me.

I took my own time to go to the Student Council room, when I was in front of the door of the room. I heard people talking; I thought it would be rude to just barge in so I waited. Though I could hear their conversation clearly, I tried my best not to listen but someone’s voice captured my attention. It was Megumi’s voice and it was the one who made me stop moving and made my heart thumped.

“I thought you guys were avoiding her? I heard this morning you asked her for a ride? I thought you guys want no connection from her whatsoever? Can’t you guys act better? You’re becoming very obvious.” said Megumi, sounding annoyed.

“Exactly, ask Koutaru about this.” said Daichi-sama.

“I don’t know what made Me.” said Koutaru-sama.

“That’s no reason to become closers to her. Control yourselves, she told me about you guys already and having doubts and all.” Megumi said.

“What did she say?” said Daichi-sama sounding interested.

“She said you guys looked really familiar, like she have met you guys before but of course she can’t remember no matter how hard she try. You guys should be thankful I cleared her doubts using her not knowing anything as an advantage from your acts. If you guys don’t control yourselves, we will all be in trouble.” She said.

They were all talking about me, Megumi as well. She knows something about me that I don’t. They all know. Am I the only one who doesn’t? What secret are they keeping from me?

“Yes, thank you bu-“ said Daichi-sama without finishing. Without me knowing I opened the door, and looked at them.
Megumi gasped, Koutaru-sama looked at me, Daichi-sama looked away and Ryouta-sama didn’t move at all.

“What .. what .. are you guys talking about? It’s definitely about me, don’t deny it anymore! What secret are you guys hiding from me? Even you Megumi-chan? You’re my bestfriend! Why lie .. EVERYONE HERE TELL ME THE TRUTH!” I shouted with all my might.

“What if we don’t want to tell you the truth?” said Ryouta-sama

“Ryouta! Don’t push it any further.” said Daichi-sama.

“You have no right to not tell me, now tell me.” I said angrily. He sighed.

“To cut the long story short, you’re not your father and mother’s real daughter.” He said.

“What are you talking about? They are my parents! What .. what .. “ I whispered.

“Of course in your heart he’s your real father but technically, he isn’t your biological father nor does your mother. You were adopted. If you want to know more know about the truth from your parents, why not ask them?” said Ryouta-sama.

I glared at all of them, turned and ran. Megumi-chan shouted, “Ana-chan! Wait! Pls!”. “Weren’t you the one who told us not to tell her the truth? Even if did have to, you could at least tell it to her nicely!” I heard Daichi-sama shouted at Ryouta-sama.

I ran the entire way straight home; I need to know the truth. My loving parents, lie at me .. it’s preposterous. I don’t know why but I feel really angry, this isn’t supposed to bother me but it bothers me a lot.

When I reached home, I banged the door open. “Ana-chan! What happened?” asked Riko-san, looking very worried. “Ana-chan, are you okay?” said Ikuto-san looking very worried as well. Looking at their faces made start to cry, my parents are not my real parents. It can’t be.
Once I calmed down, they asked again, “Ana-chan, what happened? Did anything happen?”.

I look at them, “Yes something happened, Riko-san and Ikuto-san are you guys hiding something from me? Are you my real parents?” I said, I was shocked at myself that I used a cold tone towards them yet I couldn’t be bothered by it now.

Ikuto-san was wide-eyed, and Riko-san gasped. “Ana-chan, what are you talking about? We are your real parents.” Said Ikuto-san, smiling at me. It pained me when I see him smile. “Don’t lie! I know the truth already! Why didn’t you tell me ..” I shouted.

“How did you know?” asked Ikuto-san quietly.

“I heard Megumi-chan and the three heirs of the Noble Houses. How did they know? Why do they know and I don’t?” I asked my voice going softer.

“They will definitely be the first to know about your secret Ana-chan. It is true that we aren’t your real parents but we treat you like our real daughter and it was definitely from the bottom of our heart. Maybe it’s time you know the truth.” said Ikuto-san.

“Where to start, oh yes your real family is the Yamanaka Household. Yes, one of the Four Noble Houses. You should have notice why there were only three of the heirs came to the school, where was the other one? The other one was there but people doesn’t know her yet. When you were young, Daichi, Koutaru and Ryouta-sama were your best friends, you guys were really close. They were always with you from night till day; there was no time when I didn’t see you four together. Your grandfather and your father and I were close business partners before and still now. One day something terrible happened, you were kidnapped. It happened while you guys were playing in the Waltz Haagen, Ryouta-sama was the one who was supposed to be kidnapped but you saved him and were kidnapped yourself. As the Four Noble Houses were the most powerful and richest families, they are also the people who are the most hunted by other people. The three heirs fought with some but seeing that they were too late and you were gone they ran back and told us what happened and of course everyone went to look for you. We found the kidnapper quick and saved you, you and the kidnappers were in a shack. The shack was very old and it looked like it would fall anytime soon, when Ryouta-sama heard you were safe he ran to you to hug you but before he did another terrible thing happened. Like I said the shack looked like it would fall any time and soon and it did, you saw that the roof was going to fall and hit Ryouta-sama and you pushed him out of the way getting yourself hurt. Everybody saw what happened and helped you immediately, some was so shock that they couldn’t move but once we saved you, you were unconscious. Many people thought you were dead, but you were not. We brought you to the hospital as soon as possible. The doctors told us that you were fine, all our worries was gone now. But when we visited you, you couldn’t remember who any of us were not even your three bestest friends. Your family loved you very much, and decided even though it pained them to make me adopt you to keep you out in trouble. They told everyone the truth but told them to keep it from you and never to come near you ever again even the three heirs. Anyone who tell you the truth will be severely punished and many was. Everything happened when you were in 5th grade. Megumi-chan knows about it since her parents might have told her and we told her about you as well knowing that she will stay by your side and never abandon you.” He said, “It is said that you are to go back to the Household if you wish when you turn 16 and by that time you will inherit the household already.”

“I am from the Yamanaka Household? The three heirs were my best friends? This must be a dream. And I’m going to inherit the Yamanaka Household? Heh, heh, you must be kidding me. ” I said

“We are sorry that we kept it from you Ana, but it was for your own good.” said Riko-san softly.

“I understand. It’s my choice if I want to go back to the Household, yes? Then let’s just keep it like normal, act as if nothing happened as if I’m not part of that family.” I said, standing up heading towards my room. “I’m tired, I’m going to my room.” I said.

I jump to my bed and looked at the ceiling thinking what else could happen to me?
Encounter

The next day, Riko-san didn’t wake me up. She probably doesn’t want to disturb me especially what just happened yesterday. She’s right, I don’t want to be disturbed now and I don’t feel like going to school today. Sigh, it has already been proven many times that this world hates me and now this. I have to say I actually don’t really care about this situation as much as I think Ikuto-san and Riko-san might have cared. Basically from the perspective of mine in this situation is just that Ikuto-san and Riko-san is not my real parents, I’m the heiress of the Yamanaka Household which is one of the Four Noble Houses and I’m hunted down badly that I have to adopted. Great, just great. Oh people would actually think I am lucky for being in the Yamanaka Household but
