3 Three's a Crowd

Ever since that night, you and the president have been having after school meetings in the student council room. It was either a lesson about gambling or makeout sessions with her. Of course the latter only happens when no one is around which is very rare because her secretary, Sayaka Igarashi, often stays with the president unless she was tasked with something else.

"Well, she taught me a lot. I guess I did gain something from her." you said to yourself.

You walked in your classroom to see your classmates gathering at a table. You went to look and saw Mary gambling with a guy.

"Full house." The guy laid out his cards.

Mary laughed.

"Aha. Too bad. Royal Flush."

'Mary won. She has a new pet now. A dog named Ryota Suzui. I shouldn't be bothered by it since I already escaped her grasp but.... What is this constricting feeling?' you thought.

For the next few days, you tried to ignore everything. You focused yourself on your studies. Even the president's calls for you were unanswered. Until one day....

"Class, from now on you will have a new classmate."

"I'm Jabami Yumeko. Nice to meet you."

She changed everything. On her first day, she beat Mary, causing the latter to become a housepet. You saw how everyone's attitude around her turned 180. She got bullied and mocked.

'This is so strange. Am I feeling some kind of pleasure seeing her like this? I never knew this side of me existed. Was it because of the president's influence?' you thought.

A student spilled her drink and called out to Mary to clean it up. Mary was mad but she obliged since she can't do anything about it. She's only a cat after all.

'No. This is not what I want. I don't want anybody to get close to her, yes. But I also don't want her to suffer like this under them. What I want.... I want her to go back to her proud self. The one that stands tall. That confident Mary is the one I liked. Then... I will destroy her. I want to be the one to wipe away that smirk on her. I want her to writhe under me.'

A student announced that Jabami was gambling with one of the student council and everyone left the classroom to watch. You and Mary were left in the classroom. A laugh escaped your lips. Mary looked at your direction with irritation in her eyes.

"My, Saotome-san. If looks could kill I'd be dead by now." you said jokingly.

"Tsk." was her only response.

She continued to clean up the mess. You walked towards her and sat on a chair near her.

"What do you want?" she asked.

"Nothing."

You watched her move. You looked from her hair down to her back and her curves. She wasn't wearing her blazer. You bit your lip. When she was done, she gathered the cleaning materials and looked at you.

"Pervert." she said and left.

Was she blushing? you thought.

It took awhile for it to register in your head. Then you stood up and followed her.

"Kirari. I'm curious about something." A girl in a hoodie playing games and eating a lollipop spoke.

"What is it Runa?"

"What did you even see in that girl? What's so interesting in her? She looks so plain."

"Ahhh. I see something in her eyes. An unlit desire. I want to be the one to wake up that fire in her."

"So you see her as a challenge? Nyaha. And here I thought you we're in love. Nyahahaha."

"I wonder." Kirari said.

"But what if somebody beat you to it?"

Kirari gave Runa a look that implied that what the other girl said was absurd.

"Who would even have interest in her? As you said, she looks plain."

"Well, you did, the president no less, so what guarantee do you have that ordinary students wouldn't? Come to think of it, she hasn't answered any of your calls this past few days right? Nyahaha"

That struck a nerve.

"Sayaka, fetch my toy." she ordered.

"Sayaka isn't here." Runa laughed.

Kirari was speechless. She stood up and went out of the room. Runa laughed at the president's reaction.

"This would be fun." she said. "Seeing the president in disarray because of one girl is so amusing. Nyahahahahaha"

You followed Mary to the storeroom. You were about to get in when somebody grabbed your arm.

"Kirari?" you were surprised.

She was smiling at you.

"Come with me." she spoke with that sweet voice of hers.

"I'm busy at the moment." you told her. "Can we do this some other time?"

"What could you possibly be busy at?"

As she said this, Mary came out of the storeroom. She saw you and the president and noticed her hands on your arms. She cocked her eyebrow at you and walked away.

"Ouch."

Kirari's grip on you tightened. She was still smiling but her eyes emit a different message. You know this look on her too well. She's angry.

"I told you. You're.... mine." she said as she pushed you inside the storeroom.

Yes. She is very possessive. You still fear her. But somehow you got used to her. She would appear very composed with everybody but when you're all alone, she would lose her cool. All her pent up stress would be released on you. In exchange, she would teach you the ways of gambling and of course, you're also in it for the money.

You are one crazy bitch Kirari. you thought.

Her eyes shined as she closed the door behind her. Every step she made towards you made your heart beat faster and faster. You didn't protest. You let yourself fall into the pits of ruin that Kirari Momobami made for you. You accepted her. This is how your relationship works. She dominates you. She owns you, and you own everything else she has.
