Chapter 1 - 1. Girl

"Yo, my name is Kiev."

"I am 17 years old, and I found everyone annoying."

If you listen in to the gossips and whispers of Kyouko High's students, there would always be one name that would surface.

Kiev.

Kiev wore a smile, so cheerful and charismatic. Though magnetic, it was a mask. A mask to hide his true self. Looking around him, as students resumed on their day, he scoffed at himself knowing that everyone around him lived in a world full of lies. After all, no one in this world is free of lies.

Inside the classroom of the Class - B, there was a fine guy that are really popular among the ladies sitting relaxed, and was laughing with his classmates.

"Hey.. I'm bored."

"yeah, me too. The last game I played was good, but I sucked at it."

"You sucks at everything, man."

"huh!? what the hell, are you picking a fight?, c'mom I'm on!"

A fine young man stopped the two and offered a game.

"Yeah, yeah, cut that out. What game do you guys prefer?" Kiev offered.

"As long as I get a girlfriend for myself, I'm good at anything." A friend responded.

Kiev stopped the two with a deceit smile on his face as he responded, although, his mind says otherwise.He did not show any traces of hatred in his angel-like face and just went on with a dishonest answer.

"Alright. I know someone who likes to date girls and were playing this game, why don't you two give it a try?" Kiev replied while smirking sarcastically.

Kiev is very careful on how he mingles towards everyone. He has a knack for spotting when someone's lying or just using him, but so far, he hasn't come across a single person who's truly honest or trustworthy without a few fibs thrown in.

Kiev is not just congenial, but also blessed in his looks, so in just a short period of time of his transfer to Kyouko Highschool, he was labeled as "Angel Prince".

With a striking presence and remarkable height that charmed all who laid eyes upon him, he bore his father's silky black hair and his mother's angelic eyes, all complemented by the allure of his affluent background.

Every time he passed by the hallway of the campus, all the girls would obsessively shout;

"Look, It's Kiev!"

"He's so handsome!"

"He's so perfect!"

"Hello Kiev!"

Waving back at the girls, continuing walking towards the bathroom, inhumane words were running through his mind.

'I'm not that kind of idiot who would be jumping of joy just because of a mere womens calling me what they want. Tsk!'

Walking peacefully at the side yard, the sound of a humming woman caught all the attention of kiev, driving him to follow the gentle voice until he spot a woman taking care of the beautiful flowers.

*Bam!*

Kiev jumped in front of an unfamiliar young lady.

"Oh sorry, I didn't saw you coming,"

The girl swayed her face towards Kiev and stared, followed by a hearable whisper.

"Disgusting."

He pretend not to hear the sweet tone yet frightening words of the unfamiliar girl, and just responded.

"Pardon? I think I misheard you, miss."

Kiev was so scared, he felt suffocated as his hearts won't stop beating, and barely standing straight while glancing at the girl. He questioned the girl for the second time, but he undoubtedly heard her precisely. Kiev felt the world trembling with the thoughts of how the unfamiliar girl knew about his secret.

The girl gets up from sitting and paced towards Kiev, stared straight, and answered sarcastically.

"Lying won't work on me, quit pretending, that disgust me."

Kiev looked at the other direction instead of the girl and started shaking after all he heard by the girl in front of his eyes.

"What do you mean, you're not making any sense." Kiev stated.

He was highly stung by the words of the girl that seemed to be not just a normal girl, and then responded.

"hee-hee, hee-hee. I think you've got the wrong person."

*Grinned!*

The girl chuckled and what comes of her after left Kiev into shock.

"My guts never lets me get disappointed." She chuckled.

"??"

"You're a deceiver."

Kiev was filled with dread, for he had never imagined anyone could penetrate the facade he had so carefully maintained for years, leaving him bewildered by the girl's unsettling insight.

"Hee hee.. What do you mean"

Kiev was very fazed and asked the girl to come with him.

"Do you mind if I ask you to come with me for a second?"

"Who would be in their right mind to follow a complete stranger?"

"I won't do anything to you, I promise."

The two agreed to venture to the park near the campus, where Kiev inhaled deeply upon arrival and promptly turned to the girl with a question.

"So, how much do you know about me? A stalker?"

Kiev grumbled against the young lady. The girl replied

"Don't you think not asking the name first is somewhat rude when you are trying to befriend with someone?"

"Drop that shit! Tell me how come you knew my secret!"

He was very pissed and scared because he knew that the girl might spread to people his real personality.

"With my guts. I am sure we are about the same. Just like you, I can as well tell if a person is either a liar or genuinely honest, and unfortunately, you approached the wrong person, In short, You came at me."

"And by the way, It's Keyla."

Kiev was flabbergasted and was sweating a lot. He didn't think that there might be someone who is out there living the same world as him.

"Shit! How careless of me!" Kiev Whined.

Kiev took his precious time to calmed himself down and took a deep sigh.

"Keyla, can you pretend to not know anything?"

Keyla immediately responded. "I can, but It's not free, There's nothing free in this world you know."

Kiev's fury overwhelmed him with thoughts of violence towards Keyla, but her sweetly spoken words captivated him, halting his hand just before he could strike.

"I'm warning you, that wouldn't work."

"How?"

Keyla looked sorrowful and looked down for a moment, and suddenly the wind gave an massive amount of blow.

"It's a secret."

"Let's make a deal."

"Shit! Fine! what deal is it?"

The girl wore a smile on her face and looked straight at Kiev. Seeing the sweet smile of the teasing girl, Kiev's anger seems to have subsided. He felt like he had seen that lovely smile back then.

A while moment passed, Keyla stated an unbelievable offer to the young man.

"Be my friend."

"Huh? Don't mess with me! What the hell are you talking about!" Kiev growled.
