I stood in the line behind Kidou to get Mr.Almighty his lunch. Who does he think he is? That ass-hole. Kidou got his turn and soon  I followed him.

"Wait a second! What does he like?" I asked Kidou. I just picked up whatever he pointed. I may not be his biggest fan but I won't be cruel as to pick up whatever I like. Moreover he might make me go again. If I think about it no matter how much I dislike him, I was in the wrong too. I shouldn't have bad-mouthed him. I know it's my impression but he might be a good person underneath all that cold personality. Anyway I need not wonder about him and his personality, just do his bids and you can return to your peaceful and calm life

I went to the table at which he sat and gave him his lunch plate and turned to return to the table where my lunch is waiting and also give those two-shit heads a piece of mind for involving me in all this mess. Both of them are dead. I glared at them but before I could move a step towards them Mr, Almighty stopped me. "Stop." That was his order. I turned around to face him.

"Where are you going?"

"Where else? To have my lunch." I replied normally.

"Get it and sit here."

"Why?" Did he not hate my presence with a passion?

"Do I really need to explain myself? For these three months you should be around me so that you can do what I say." I nodded without saying anything and got my plate to their table and sat. It consisted of four chairs. The one beside Mr.Almighty is empty so I sat there. Across me sat a girl who looked like a run-away model, so white like a doll, blonde hair, pink lips and a small height I assume making her cute rather than elegant. I suddenly felt jealous of her. If only I had looks like that. Can't do anything now. Beside her sat Kidou. He doesn't seem that perverted anymore. Just a friendly guy. Let us hope it is true. I wonder how this girl is? Friendly or bitchy. I started eating diligently because I have work to do. If only those idiots didn't involve me with their stupid plan I would have had more time. But not any more.

"Hi!" The model before me greeted. "I am Georgina. You can call me G." She smiled at me beautifully. If one would take a picture and advertise it would be an over-night hit. Guess she is not a bitch.

"Hi! I am Destiny." I smiled back.

"I know, your video is so famous." She smiled mischievously, no malice behind, just teasing. I looked at Mr.Almighty from the corner of my eye and ensuring that he is not looking my way I shook my head and mouthed 'Don't bring that topic. I am in enough trouble.' And she just smiled in return. A cute princess in modern time indeed. Other two guys kept silent and G tried to make conversation with me. Mostly it is her talking and me listening. I am not much of a talkative person and I am glad that she doesn't mind.

"What are you going to do after lunch?" She asked me all of a sudden.

"I have classes till three today and then I have to find Mr.Hope. The reason I was a little late for lunch. I had a problem with my paper and I went to professor for help but he too got stuck. He asked to ask Mr.Hope and that he would be able to help me. He sounds like a genius. So I have to find him and seek his help. I have a feeling that I heard his name recently. Hopefully he will help me."

"Are you serious?" She asked shocked.

"What?" I asked confused.

"You don't know Mr.Hope?" She asked a little louder.

"Ssh.." I shushed her and I talked in a low voice to avoid further problems. "Don't tell me that he is some other popular guy in this college that every one knows."

"You are too oblivious." She laughed.

"Yeah, yeah I know, since you know him why don't you tell me who is he or where can I get him and some basic details in case so that I won't get in trouble." Not only was my voice low, I also moved forward towards her. I don't want this Mr.Hope to be another popular whom I don't know and offend him in one way or the other, which I became famous for these days,and then become his slave for another three months. No chance. I won't allow it.

"I know. I will tell you about him. He is very popular, rich,drop dead gorgeous.." 

"Something useful. In the sense I won't hurt his pride or ego?"

"I think you totally did it already." She chuckled so amused and Kidou is sharing the opinion by his reaction.

"What, why?" I looked around to see whether this Mr.Hope somehow materialized here.

"He is super genius too." She continued ignoring my question. "He can solve any problem that even the  professors couldn't solve. Child prodigy and a genius. He brings hope in a hopeless situation and that's why he is called Mr.Hope" Looks like I've heard these qualities somewhere. Oh! Leave it. All genius people are in our college and they describe the same everyone.

"How I wish I could have his brain!" I sighed. "Anyways whose this person. Can you tell me where he is and maybe show his photo or something so that I won't embarrass myself asking for another popular guy."

"Why a photo? I'll show him directly"

"That's even great!" I exclaimed and she pointed her fingers beside me smiling. I looked where she was pointing but found no new person.

"Huh! You are not pointing at anyone except....." realization dawned on me. "He is Mr.Hope." I said in a flat voice pointing at Mr.Almighty who is as always glaring at me. Seems like I chose trouble as my best-friend. I smiled at him sheepishly. I think it is a known fact that I am the luckiest person in the world, which gets better every minute. Note the sarcasm if you missed it.

After that I ate my lunch in silence and as fast as I can, then I looked up at my master to find him finished already. We all stood up and Mr.Almighty signaled me to follow him and I did quietly. We reached the lockers and I took the books I wanted and soon after I received his bag too. I looked at questioningly but he said nothing. As expected.

I followed him all the while worrying that I should manage to reach my class quick but ended up in my class and he went up and sat in a bench.

"You are in this class?" I asked a little confused.

"We have the same schedule. We are together in each and every class." Kidou answered.

"You too." I asked and he nodded. Oh! I am really oblivious to my surroundings. But hey! You can't blame me. There are lot of people in the class so it is normal that I don't know right? I moved to sit in some place but Mr.Arrogant's look stopped me.

"What?" I asked. 

"Sit here. He said moving to the middle. Kidou is to the other side. I nodded and sat down.

"Wow!" Kidou interrupted. "You are even making her sit beside you. You are so interested in her." 

"I am not interested in her.Like I said earlier she has to stay around for these three months to do my bidding."

"Sure, sure whatever you say." Kidou smirked showing he is not convinced at all. I just sat there with them without any questions on my part. 

*It's an Accident* (Next day afternoon in the Cafeteria)

I brought Mr.Almighty his lunch along with mine. No thank you's or acknowledging me by the way. I carry his books everywhere since as Kidou (pronounced as ki-do)said we have the same classes. He just regally walks around like a king while I follow him carrying his things like a slave, which is exactly what he said. But he doesn't make me do absurd things or torture me physically or mentally. That's good I guess. Oh yeah, he helped with the problem I had yesterday. I sweated a ton yesterday to ask him but when I finally asked him nervously he explained it to me very clearly and patiently. I should say that though he appears arrogant he is a good guy deep down. Smart, helpful and patient. A little arrogant too.

"So what are your plans for today?" G asked.

"Oh! Nothing much, the same classes again and..." I stopped thinking whether it would be okay to tell her.

"Yes?" G urged me to continue. I sighed and finally let it out. " I have to find another person today."

"You really don't know a lot of people."

"Yes, I am regretting my memory power now. It's just my nature I guess."

"Who is it that you are searching for today?"

"We got a project to do and were assigned partners. I thought may be he would come to me but he didn't so I have to search for him, let us hope I will find him before the evening. He is a foreigner, Gouenji Shuuya (pronounced as Go-en-ji Shu-ya). May be Japanese."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes. It's not a regular English name. I am eager to meet him though. I never met a Japanese before and I like his name too." I said smiling politely.

"You don't know him?" Kidou and G laughed non-stop with such an intensity that I was afraid that they might die. They even fell on the floor laughing. Even though glad that I could make someone laugh I am not exactly in the position to be glad. I believe I am in another trouble. Eventually after a long time their hysterical laughs dies and they settled back into their chairs chuckling.

"Do you know my name?" Kidou asked.

"Kidou right?" I asked back.

"Full name?"

I shook my head as I don't know. "Is it Kidou Gouenjii Suuya?" I wonder if it is him that I was partnered with and that's why he was laughing so much till his stomach hurts.

"No, no, I am Kidou Yuuto."

"Wait a second! That is a foreign name. Is he your relative or someone you know?" I asked.

"You know too."

"I do? I somehow don't find it surprising after the recent turn of events. Who is he? I swear I know most of the classmates. I just don't remember their names."

"Hmm." He pointed at Mr.Almighty.

"What? Oh!  I don't know his full name either." I thought he was asking for his full name.

"Tell me how much you know."

"He is Mr.Hope."

"No way! He is not hope Destiny. They call him so because he can literally solve anything, a hope in hopeless situation. He is Gouenji Shuuya."

"Oh, sorry my bad." I again smile sheepishly at the three pf them and I received the casual glare from Gouenji. Hmm, I really like his name. Just then Gouenji opened his phone and talked to someone which I didn't pay attention and in less than five minutes a guy with a suit, not just a guy, you know the strongly built bodyguard type of guy came over and gave a file to Gouenji. I looked at them curiously. Soon he dismissed the bulky bodyguard and he disappeared nodding to him.

He opened the file and said "Astrea DestinyFaith." Oh that's the first I heard my full name in a long while. It's good to hear my lovely name. I am self praising, aren't I?

"Yes?"

"21 years old. 

Father: David, a surgeon.

Mother:Hannah, housewife.

Siblings:None.

Boyfriends:None." 

Gouenji read and I was shocked to the least. What the hell! A report on me? It's ridiculous.

"That is not a report on me." I said a little loud still in confusion.

"Why not?" Gouenji answered. "Your behavior is not considered as a typical one. Besides you got me as partner in the project so I had to check if it was just pure coincidence or you did something." I was left with my mouth wide open. "And in order to start our work and as your master you should know about me. You need to tell me by tomorrow."

Bloody hell! Why do I need to know about him?

"Because you are my slave and a slave should know about her master so that she can serve him well."Oops! Did I say it loud! He is really taking the slave thing seriously isn't he?

Now how am I supposed to get information on him? I don't have bulky guys to do the job for me. I am just an average girl in an abnormal situation. Since I can't do background checkup like he does the only basic thing I can do is ask around. I think it is better to start with the guys before me. G would help for sure and Kidou would too I guess.

"Can I have your number G?" 

"Sure. I was wondering when  you would ask?" I smiled at her and took her number. Saving the effort of asking Kidou himself gave his number.

"Your number." I asked and was faced with the one and only glare again. "For the project. We need to be in contact." I squeaked. He snatched the phone from my hand and called his phone. I think that's the result I can get from him. At least he gave his number. Sigh! I have a long three months ahead of me.
