Adopted Soldier

Everyone was on the edge of their seats as they waited to hear what Kei had to say. When Kei noticed that everyone was staring at him so intently he was kind of having second thoughts in saying what he wanted to say. Now that all the adrenaline was dying out he thought that this was a bad idea.

Sayaka who was waiting anxiously for Kei to speak got confused as Kei stopped speaking mid-sentence. What happened?

"Kei, is everything alright?" Sayaka asked now a bit worried.

"Oh, it's nothing where was I yes... Oh right, Saya I-" Before Kei could say anything more, Oliver suddenly butted in.

"Saya, I like you will you please go out with me!?" Oliver suddenly shouted out of nowhere. At first, everyone was stunned to hear what he just said, but after a few seconds, almost everyone squealed.

"It's an actual love triangle!"

"This is great, everyone gather around and take notes on how they'll react."

Rachel who was beside Oliver when he had that sudden outburst was shocked. She couldn't believe that Oliver the delusional Oliver told everyone he loves Sayaka. Alex was also shocked to hear what Oliver said.

Wasn't this life just a cover up for his real life?... Or is it because Oliver now knew that Sayaka was an assassin that's why he was willing to take this risk and bring her to his real life.

Emily, on the other hand, felt like rooting for Oliver and was getting even more excited.

...

When Sayaka and Kei heard what Oliver said they were both stunned. Sayaka, in particular, couldn't believe her ears. Was she perhaps dreaming was that why all of this was happening. Still, she might have misheard it, so just to make sure she asked.

"Oly what did you just say?"

"I said that I like you Saya, and I want you to be my girlfriend." As Oliver was saying this he approached Saya and Kei. Oliver with his large body frame made Kei look like a little kid, as he stood face to face with him.

"I'm sorry for cutting in Kei, but I just needed to say that." Kei looked at Oliver in confusion. He wasn't sure why Oliver burst out like that.

While Sayaka was still in a state of shock, Kei still continued on. "It's alright Oliver, do you want to answer him first Saya or do I finish what I was saying."

Whoah, at this moment too many of the Drama club members Kei was looking very cool. Even though his confession was intercepted and someone else, confessed to the same girl he didn't mind. Sayaka was still in a stunned state so she wasn't able to answer.

"Seeing as your not talking, I'm going to continue saying what I wanted to say. So Saya all in all I just wanted to say that I wasn't honest with you during lunchtime. I said I accepted you but in truth, I was scared of you. But now I want you to know, I understand and I'll stick by you no matter what because you are my friend... Oh, that felt good, to get out of my system."

The moment Kei was finished talking, everyone else was bewildered and a bit disappointed. So it wasn't a love triangle, Kei was just apologizing for something, using a long-winded manner that confused everyone. Why the hell would he do that?!

...

Emily who heard what Kei said for some reason felt relieved, she couldn't understand why, but she had no time to deal with that now since something fun was about to happen.

Sayaka and Oliver were the most shocked to hear about what Kei said. They were expecting something different which made them feel a bit ashamed, but now that was cleared up a different problem had arisen.

Oliver who was still stunned by the unexpected ending to Kei's speech was waiting anxiously for Sayaka's answer. Even though what Kei did forced him to this situation, but he didn't regret it one bit. He was going to realize his feelings one way or another, so why chicken out.

Sayaka who was still in a stunned state looked at Oliver. He too looked a bit shocked but that was only for a moment. The shocked state he was in, changed into one with a strong resolve same as Kei's awhile ago.

Seeing Oliver like that, she was sure that Oliver was serious. With that in mind, Sayaka was finally able to calm herself down.

"Oly, just to make sure... You did confess your feelings to me, right?"

"Yeah."

"You did say you like me, right?"

"Yeah."

"You said you wanted me to be your girlfriend, right?" Oliver nodded his head and answered.

"That's right. So what do you say?" Sayaka smiled when she heard Oliver confirm everything with such conviction.

"Can you wait for the answer Oliver, I just need to think about it for a bit." When everyone heard Sayaka's answer they were really disappointed they wanted to hear her say yes, making them all overreact to the situation, so that they could practice just in case a scene like this pops up in a future play.

"It's alright, take your time." The moment Oliver said this, the group of people dispersed. When everyone else seems to go back to doing their own thing, Sayaka pulled Oliver closer and whispered something in his ear.

"Meet me after school in the coffee shop we went to the other day."

...

Emily walked towards Kei and spoke him. "That was a nice thing you did Kei."

"Yeah. It's what Sayaka deserves." Hearing what Kei said with a conflicted expression Emily walked away. In truth Kei wasn't really going to just say he accepted Sayaka as a friend, he was going to go beyond that, and was going to do the same thing Oliver did and confess. But true to form, he kept on hesitating and the girl was taken just like that.

'Well I guess I wasn't really in love or anything, it was probably just the fear from awhile ago changing into something else. Yeah, that must be it.'

Seeing Kei feeling a bit better, Emily couldn't help but smile at the guy. She knew what he really wanted to do. She also knew why he changed what he wanted to say. Knowing all this, made Emily a bit more intrigued by Kei.

...

"Okay then now that all of that is done and over with, back to the announcement of who will be the female lead.." When everyone heard Katrina speaking they finally remembered what they were doing before Kei interrupted.
