THE FINAL EXAMS were coming up.

Akari had been so busy with her studies for the next few days. Although she already ranked 5th in the previous midterm exams, she planned to aim higher and be one of the best. Yet in order to do that, she needed to get much higher grades not only for her own satisfaction but for everyone else to be proud of her, especially those who adopted her and treated her like a family. And if possible, she should ace every subject, mainly that stupid Math. She was planning to rank first or at least second in the student rankings this school year.

And right now in the late afternoon, she was still in the middle of studying her Math lessons inside the library by herself. Nanami already went home 30 minutes prior because her family had to welcome some visitors from the States while Ishiyama had to attend his cram school. Akari texted Kakucho to pick her up an hour later since Izana already left for Shibuya days ago.

Scribble. Scribble. Scribble.

"So, this stupid x goes here... And then this dumb y there..."

Beep. Beep.

Akari was so focused on analyzing a certain equation that she didn't notice her phone was vibrating on top of the table she was occupying. She flipped her gadget open and saw Izana's message appear on the screen.

Conceited King: Hey.

Akari smiled at the text and immediately typed on her keypad. Ever since they were far from each other, Izana never failed to check up on her every now and then either through messages or sometimes through phone calls. He will usually just ask how her day was and also about her injury.

Me: Heya! 😃

Conceited King: What are you doing right now? Are you already at home?

Me: Nope. Not yet. I'm at the library. Studying for the exams.

Conceited King: This time? It's almost nightfall. Go home. Where the hell is Kakucho?

Me: I told him to pick me up later after I'm finished here.

Conceited King: What? No! Go fucking home this instant! I'll call Kakucho to pick your ass up right now!

Me: I can't, Iza-san. I'm still not done with my studies!

She waited for his reply but Izana didn't message back. He was probably annoyed by her stubbornness.

After a few minutes, her phone rang.

Conceited King calling...

Akari thought twice about whether she should accept his call or not. But she knew he'll get extremely mad if she tried to ignore his call. She sighed and reluctantly chose to just answer the receiver.
