Chasing Night Novel Chapter 100: Young and Reckless

Chapter 100: Young and Reckless

"Hey."

I looked behind and saw Night with his piercing glare. "Who’s this?"

Ryzen looked like he was surprised seeing Night. "I didn’t know you were close with Night Fuentes." He told

as he smiled teasingly. He’s still thinking that I’m in love with Night, that’s why Ryzen thinks this is interesting. "I’ll be going first. Good luck with the beauty pageant." Ryzen winked after he said that and he left.

"Who was that?"

I turned to Night after he asked that. "He’s my classmate," I said as I took a deep breath. There’s no point hiding what I saw and the text ssage. "We still need to talk about sothing." Night clicked his tongue and I could feel that he was annoyed.

’Was it because of ?’ I could feel other people’s gaze on

again and I’m feeling anxious and scared at the sa ti.

I felt a jacket on top of my head covering my whole face. "Wear this." Night said as he pulled

away from that place while covering

with his jacket. The uneasiness I felt due to that random ssage suddenly vanished after feeling the warmth from Night’s hands.

It’s as if I’m already being comforted despite knowing how much this guy hates . We arrived in the backyard, the farthest backyard near the old building that isn’t being used now.

"What do you want to talk about?" Night asked. That’s when I felt soone’s presence behind

causing

to look back, and there I saw Kaoru. "He’s been following you this whole ti. You didn’t notice?" I shook my head in answer. ’I wonder why Night’s being talkative, but I didn’t want to focus there.’

"I received another text from an unknown number," I said.

Night’s face imdiately turned serious. "What did it say?"

I grabbed my skirt as I looked down at the ground. It’s taking a toll on

when I’m in constant fear of what’s coming at . "It said that I should give them what they want or else sothing bad will happen." How am I going to know what they want if they won’t tell

about it? "The sender said that I have it with , they can easily take it away."

I’m afraid of what it is. What are they referring to? Is it ? But there’s no way I could be useful to an Italian mafia group. "What should I do?" The trembling of my body won’t stop, it feels like I’m going to vomit due to fear and I won’t be able to do the remaining events this way.

That’s when Night suddenly pulled

into a hug causing my eyes to go wide.

"It’ll be fine."

His words comforted , but I felt afraid that he was only acting this way to be able to hurt

once again. He’s doing this to make

fall into his tricks and hurt

all over again. Even though I know that he’s only acting, I couldn’t help but feel like it’ll be fine when I’m in his arms. ’I feel conflicted. This isn’t how things are supposed to go.’

I can’t keep secrets from him. "I... I also saw that masked man." Night moved away from the hug with his eyes wide open.

"Where?"

I gulped. "I-I’m not sure if I saw it well, but he was standing near the exit of the auditorium w-while I was performing." My voice cracked again. It feels like tears would start coming out of my eyes if this continues.

"Kaoru." Kaoru imdiately appeared beside Night after his na got called. "Tell everyone to check the whole school. Find a suspicious guy and take him to the mansion." Night said and Kaoru quickly obliged. Would that be fine though? Wouldn’t that be kidnapping? Wait... did he say ’everyone’?

"Are there other people from the Yamaguchi-gumi here?"

Night looked at

as he tilted his head. "You didn’t know?"

I know that Shiho and Himari will co since Shiho really likes school festivals, but I didn’t know there’ll be so mbers of the yakuza here.

’Wait, that actually explains that manly screams from the audience whenever I’m on stage. Ugh! It’s embarrassing that they saw

act like that.’ I thought as I wanted to dig my own grave here and disappear forever.

"Was that the reason why you cried on stage?"

I glanced at him but I saw him staring at . Is he talking about how I didn’t realize I’m already crying in front of lots of people?

"N-Not really," I said.

’It was because I’m letting go of my feelings for you, Night Fuentes— No. Night Yamaguchi.’

"Then why did you cry?"

I cleared my throat. "N-None of your business," I said as I gain back my composure.

"Are you still going to join that contest?" Night asked causing

to look at him.

"Yes. And I need to go to our booth." I said as I removed Night’s jacket off . "Thanks for lending this to ," I said as I was about to leave but Night grabbed my arm, stopping

from moving away from him.

"What is it?"

Night wasn’t looking at my face. "I’ll accompany you." He said while staring at my arm.

I an, I don’t care if he wants to tag along but... "Would you let my arm go?" He imdiately let

go after I said that. "Just, don’t get too close to

since people will start whispering about

again," I said and then we went to the swimming club’s booth.

"Noelle! You’re finally here!" Ericka greeted

but the mont she saw Night; her smile grew wider. "You brought a guest. Why don’t you try our gas to win a date with one of our swimming gals?" She told Night but I shook my head at her.

"He’s not here for that—"

"I’ll do it."

My eyes widened. "What!?"

Everyone that were playing the mini-gas looked at us after Night said that. "There are mini-gas right here that will give you a few minutes and hours to be able to spend with our gals, but if you try our hardest ga, then you’ll get to spend the whole day tomorrow with your chosen girl and for extra, you may also win this coupon of having a date to this amusent park with your girl," Ericka explained. "So what will it be?"

More and more people started getting into the indoor pool after the news of Night playing our gas. "What do you think you’re doing?" I whispered to Night while he prepares for the mini-gas. "Do you want to go on a date with my teammates?"

Night looked at

causing

to flinch. "I want to go on a date with you." His voice echoed throughout the indoor pool, making everyone hear what he said.

Oh my god, I’m literally moving on with my feelings for this guy! Why is he saying such nonsense?

"Oh my! Isn’t that great?" Ericka smiled her brightest smile. "Is there anyone who wants to compete with the prince to win our princess Noelle and go on a date with her?" She announced to everyone, but who else would like to go on a date with ?

"I’ll do it."

My eyes widened after soone raised their hand. "Whoa, I didn’t expect this interesting competition," Ericka said after Leslie said that she’ll compete with Night. BUT WHY!? "The Prince vs our club’s Ace. Isn’t this interesting?" Ericka turned to

but I’m still confused.

The news about Night competing with the swimming club’s ace spread throughout the school and everyone went to the indoor pool to witness the said battle. "What’s this? I heard Night wants to go on a date with you." Andy and Ace arrived with Maris and Carla.

"Isn’t this exciting? I knew Night likes Noelle too!" Carla said causing the advanced classes’ students to look at her. Bethany and her friends, to be specific. "Why are they glaring at ? It was Night who announced that anyway." Carla said as she hid behind Maris.

I can’t deal with this kind of developnt! Just when I’m about to move on, he’ll do sothing like this!? "Is he acting right now?" Ace asked as she sat beside . "I don’t see the benefits of letting everyone know that he’s interested in you. It’ll endanger your secret." She added.

I also can’t understand why Night is doing all of these. "He shouldn’t be doing this." I sighed. Garnering attention isn’t a good thing, he already told

about it before so why is he contradicting himself?

"Noelle." I looked behind and there I saw Shiho and Himari. "I heard my brother’s going to compete with your teammate," Shiho said which made

sigh.

"I wonder why he’s doing that."

"It’s because he wanted to go on a date with you, right?" Makoto appeared out of nowhere. "How nice it is to be young."

No! It’s not nice to be young and reckless!
