CHAPTER 92: HIRO’S STORY.

Angela took a deep breath and exhaled when she got to her door. She knew that Hiro was right and she had to take his advice. She knocked on the door. Earlier, Kaito was the last to leave the room so there was no key on her. She thought they would come together.

She totally forgot to carry hers. The door knob turned immediately and Kaito appeared on the door. He didn’t let her in at first. Something felt different about him. She could feel it.

"Goodevenining, Alpha Kaito," she greeted but he didn’t answer. Angela wondered if he was mad that they didn’t inform him that Mr. Slade was going to the central house. She entered the room and tried to explain when something caught her eyes. There was aanphoto of her kept on the edge of the bed.

Angela froze. She could not speak or say anything. All she could do was just stared. Kaito was right behind her. She could feel his presence. How did he get that photo of her?

She remembered that day but didn’t take any photos. Someone must have taken unaware pictures of her. Who could it be? But all that was not important at the moment.

"For how long did you think you will keep going with your lie?" his voice was calm yet it carried weight. He felt betrayed by her. "I didn’t expect you to pay me back all I did for you...I did them because I care but lying to me this whole time about who you really are?"

Angela felt her cheeks burned alongside her eyes. She found feel the tears forming in there. Her heart was beating abruptly within her chest. She closed her eyes as he continued to speak.

"I was living in this room with a complete stranger," Kaito chuckled painfully. "But you know what? It was my fault. I was a fool for trusting anyone again. I shouldn’t have let you near me."

Angela shook her head. She did not want to tell him anything in order to justify her actions. However, she could not stand by and hear him say all those things about himself "it was never your fault, Kaito."

She opened her eyes and turned around to face her worse fear. When she saw his face, her hands trembled in fear. Damn..he looked like he had heard the news of the death of a loved one.

"I swear I never intended to lie to you about it," Angela began. "I had because I didn’t trust anyone...,"

"But you trusted Renn," Kaito nodded. "You could not tell me about it...why?"

"I didn’t trust anyone at first but later, when I did.... I was scared that you might be angry," Angela said, with tears rolling down her cheeks. She was being careful with her words so that he won’t be madder than he was. "I didn’t know how you will react to this side of me...honestly, I wanted to tell at some point."

"So now I’m happy...I am not angry right?" he raised his voice at her. Just then he realized that she was a girl. "Get out..."

"I am sorry, Kaito," She apologized but it was already too late. He was too angry and she understood his anger.

"I said get out," Kaito went to the door and opened it. "Go before I do something stupid."

Angela could see the tears in his eyes. She nodded painfully. He was in terrible pain...she had never seen him like this until today. She walked and passed him "I am really sorry."

Kaiti closed his eyes as he did not want to see her again. He wished he could closed his ears as well. As soon as she was out, he closed the door and leaned against it. He could not stop the burning in his heart. It was better she go away....he needed to be alone.

**

Angela did not want to bother any of her friends. She was going to sleep in any of the classes tonight and if possible, for the rest of the term. Kaiti was never going to let her back in. She could feel his anger even after she left the room. The bulbs within the dorm were shaking...some going on and off. The wind blew angrily. It looked like a storm was coming and it was going to rain heavily.

She noticed a figure standing at the gate. As she got closer, she saw that it was Hiro. Did he not leave?

"What happened? Did you tell him?" He asked.

"I did not get the chance to," Angela wrapped her hands around herself as she spoke. It was getting colder as each second passed by. "But he found out about it tonight and I didn’t tell him."

"Oh mine..,’ Hiro was surprised. He was not expecting that. "I came because I knew he was going to send you out after you tell him but I never knew that he already know. So sorry about that."

"I-I...,’ Angela could not control the tears. She started sobbing like a baby. "I made him so angry. He didn’t even want to look for me. He was...,"

"Hey, stop crying please," Hiro told her calmly. He didn’t even know how to make a crying girl stop. He thought of a way out but there was nothing useful. He hugged her and smoothen her hair. It was not the usual craving sexual hug but one that showed that he truly care as a friend. Was he a friend?

"How can I stop? When he spoke...it was like I was ungrateful."

"Kaito is just angry," Hiro told her, hoping that it would make her feel better. "When he is like that, he says a lot of things he doesn’t mean."

There was no words between them after a few minutes. The sky was getting more angrier as it wanted to let the rain come down. She broke from the hug and wiped her tears with the back of her palms.

"I shouldn’t bother you with myself. I will go and sleep," Angela told him. "Maybe tomorrow, Kaito might want to listen to me so... I will tender an apology."

"Where are you going to sleep tonight?"

"In my class."

"Your class? Hell no! I won’t allow that," Hiro shrugged. He didn’t know why he said what next he said but he felt good saying. "Yiu can have my room. I can go and stay at Renn’s. He was been called by principal Valois."

"Why? Did something happened?" Angela asked, with fear in her eyes. She didn’t hear from him after she got back. Did he get into trouble because of her?

"No, I don’t think anything bad happened. Those two are like cat and dogs yet they see each other," Hiro told her. He knew that she was planning to decline his offer. "Its better to stay at my place. If you insist on staying in the class, I will stay there with you."

"No..you are putting me in a difficult position, Hiro," she said. "I don’t want to be a burden to you."

"I am being nice tonight. It’s won’t happen again so don’t decline my offer."

Angela did not know what to do next but she knew that Hiro meant it when he said he was going to follow her to class.

She turned and looked at the building with the hope that Kaito would come out and call her out but that was just a dream. He didn’t. She didn’t deserved his kindness nor care anymore.

Angela followed Hiro to his room. She offered his bed but she didn’t want that. He had done more than enough.

"So what is your reason?" Hiro asked. He laid on his bed while She laid on the couch with hie blanket covering her body. The lights were off. However, their minds remained active. None of them could sleep "Why lie and come to this Academy?"

"I was running away from home," Angela told him. "I had to...this Academy was the only way out of the miserable life I was living."

"I understand you. I have been there."

"What do you mean? Was home not good to you?"

Hiro chuckled "good? I lost both of my parents years ago. I was just a child of four. Life became difficult for me because my uncles wanted me just for the fact that I had powers. Since I was not able to use them, they became confused if I was truly the one gifted by the moon goddess. At six, when I could not go use my powers, they dumped in an orphanage."

"What?" Angela was surprised. She never for once thought that he went through something like that. She thought all the Alphas had perfect lives. "So what happened next? How did you survive?"

"I managed. When I was ten,my father’s Beta found me...he took me back to my pack...my home," Hiro said, with tears rollingout of his eyess as he went down the memory lane. Everything felt like yesterday. "I am going be crowned the Alpha after this term."

"That’s good. I am happy for you," Angela said. He had a better ending than her.

*Goodnight. You need to sleep."

Angela did not say a word to him. There was no way she could close her eyes and sleep. She just hope the day will break soon so that she would apologize to Kaito.
