4 Chapter 004: An Actress Calling Out His Acting

Sato-San stood in front of his homeroom door. He watched as other people walked in using the second pairs of doors to his left but still didn't even touch his pair.

'So, today's the day that my solitude in homeroom in ruined.'

He was in a tranz with the door, not wanting to know what would happen if he walked inside. Other students walked by looking at him as if he was crazy, which was definitely accurate since it's not often you see someone sweating while standing still in front of a classroom door.

'Maybe I'll skip…I can't do that! Haaa….I guess I'll go in…'

He put his hand out but stopped halfway, he stayed in this position for awhile until he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to find one of what he assumed to be a classmate, she had long purple hair that went down to her hips. He stared for awhile since he could have sworn she looked familiar, until he realized that what he was doing was probably creepy so he backed away and let her inside.

She began walking by until she grabbed him by the arm and yanked him inside. She let go once they were inside.

"Don't delay people like that, it makes people look idiotic when they do that."

She turned away to walk over to people who were yelling her name.

'Yoshida Takara, huh…I swear I've heard that name somewhere…Hm?'

He looked around but didn't see Shiratori-San sitting in any of the desks.

'Ha, I guess I was panicked for nothing, she isn't even here…Although that brings its own worries. Whatever, I guess I have one last day of solitude before it's gone forever.'

He took his seat and took out his phone to start writing a short story, he didn't have to work on his main one all the time, it's nice to take a break every now and then. He looked up to see where Yoshida-San was, she was still with what seemed to be her group of friends.

'Wonder what they're talking about…Ah! Let me look up that name.'

He went to Doodle and looked up the name "Yoshida Takara." He saw the results and now knew why he recognized her…She was a well known actress who had starred in many films. He looked up again but made it seem like he was stretching, then she started coming over.

'Huh? Why is she coming over here? If she talks with me I need to use my fake persona.'

He pretended not to see her and went back to looking on his phone quickly deleting what he had searched so he doesn't seem like a creep. Finally he felt a tap on his head, he looked up with an annoyed expression on his face.

"What?"

He talked in the rudest tone he could, after doing this for years it kind of came naturally to him when needed.

"What are you trying to do? Look tough? You were just panicking in front of the door, I doubt your demeanor changed that much over 5 minutes."

'Crap, she's already seen a small extent of my true persona! I need to turn this around!'

"Huh? I wasn't panicki-"

"Can you just stop, I can tell when someone's acting."

He stared blankly at her, stood up, grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the room. She was yelling at him to let go of her, the other students just stared, they already viewed Sato-San as being a jerk so they didn't think much of him actually acting cruel. He made sure no one was around then switched to his true persona.

"Ha Ha! I guess I should have expected a famous actress to tell when someone's acting, even if my acting has fooled almost everyone for the past 9 years…."

"Jeez, why did you bring me out here? You could have just talked like this inside the classroom."

"Sorry, no can do. I've worked for a very long time to make everyone hate me, I'm not ruining it…Then again it probably will be falling apart once word gets out I've been faking being a dick this whole time."

"Why would you want that? Isn't it normally the other way around?"

"Yes it is, unless your trying to repel other people so you can do what you want without anyone ever knowing. That's what I've been working towards for the past 9 years, so I would like if you didn't tell anyone about this, kay?"

"Sure, now I'm regretting asking if you if your arm was fine."

"Hm? Oh yeah, it's all good! It didn't hurt all that much."

"Haa, you said about word getting out about you not being a dick? Did you let someone find out?"

"Hm, yeah I did, but I have my reasons of letting her see my true persona."

"I take it she's in our class? I can silence her if you want."

"Huh? That's extremely ominous. And why are you trying to help me?"

"If word got out that I knew about your true persona people would think we have some kind of relationship. That could start major problems because of my status."

"That true! Although, in all honesty I wouldn't have thought anything of it at first since I had no idea who you were."

"Really?! I'm famous in this school."

"I don't pay attention to people, it helps me to not get close to them."

"Whatever, we're never talking again, be aware of that."

"That's fine, I'll make sure to not get in any other situations with you! Bye!"

He made a comically big wave as he put back on his false persona and walked back into the classroom. He looked over towards Yoshida-San and could make out a small bit of what her friends were asking her.

"Are you alright? I heard that guy has no mercy on people once he sets them as his target."

"Yeah, yeah! I heard something similar."

"I can't believe he was even thinking of making you a target!"

"I'm fine! He didn't need anything serious. We've already agreed to never make contact again."

She glared over at Sato-San's direction as he sat back down in his seat and took out his phone to write his short story.

'I'll have to be careful of her, even if she says we'll never interact again, there's always a chance.'
