Yet another one-shot, an original I hope. Went through this same experience, the guy I liked wanted me to ask out my best friend for him. Kind of a sad but sweet story, R&R! I don't own Shugo Chara!
My quiet feet silently made their way through the hallway in the still morning air to the isolated classroom where my friends were awaiting my arrival.
"Morning Rima," Amu, my pink haired best friend, greeted me in a cheery tone.
"Good morning," I yawned, trying not to sound too tired, but the heavy bags under my eyes gave it away.
"You sound and look tired, another rough night?" Amu asked, a look of concern taking over her cheery expression.
"Yeah," I sighed, trying hard not to let the visions of last night rampage in my head. "They were up until three in the morning fighting over the stupidest crap." I whined as I banged my head on my desk to get rid of the nightmare that was throwing a party inside my head.
"Who's fighting?" his satin voice bounced off the walls, mocking me with its smoothness. He glided like the dancer he was over to where me and Amu were sitting and minding our own business.
"Rima's parents," Amu said in a whisper tone barely loud enough for me to hear.
"No need to worry about me guys, I'm just tired; that's all." I plastered on my fake smile to reassure Amu that I was really OK. After Amu's concerned expression morphed back into her cheery one I slouched back in my seat and patiently waited for class to start. I remained quiet and left out while Amu and Nagihiko conversed. After about ten minutes, I noticed a pattern with him. He smiled every time she spoke, he laughed every time she said something funny, and his eyes were super glued to her. I felt my heart twist in an unnamable emotional pain. Before I even I had time to ponder about what it could be, the teacher walked in.
"Guess what everybody!" He said in a too peppy tone to be used in the classroom. The sound of imaginary crickets filled the room, signaling everyone's silence.
"Sensei, we are clearly so anxious for what you have to say that we are speechless, so if you could please relieve us of our impatience." I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm.
"A-alright," the teacher said, slightly taken aback by my commentary. "Well, before school gets out, I have assigned a group project as your final project. I've already assigned groups." He continued as he pulled out a long list of students and their partners. I just about dozed off while he was going through who would be working together. When he announced Nagihiko's partner I went from almost asleep to sitting up straight in my seat with jolting electricity coursing through my veins. "Nagihiko and Amu," it echoed through my head, that unnamable wretched feeling was back, twisting my heart.
"Rima and Tadase," he went on with the list, while I continued to sit in my chair in a state of shock. I glanced over at Tadase who waving like an idiot at me.
"Rima? Have you decided what we're going to do?" Tadase repeated for the billionth time, while I was busy observing Amu and Nagi's behavior. Just like the last time, he smiled at everything thing she did and laughed at everything she said. His eyes, instead of clouded with mystery, were glowing with affection as his eyes took in her features. The way he looked at her just made me feel like I wanted to fall in a hole and never come out. A feeling of emptiness dictating over me as I finally realized what had happened; Nagi had finally found someone. I was left alone; I was suddenly the third wheel.
Alright first chapter of a three chapter one-shot, I thought I was only going to make it three chapters but I guess it just ended up longer than I thought, please tell me what you think of it. R&R!
