Author's note: New story, drabbles! I can't help it, challenges are fun! Not the least bit going in order however. I'm going in one where my inspiration will flow throughout the drabble.
One down, thirty nine left!

25: Emotions

"They may forget what you said, but they'll never forget the way you made them feel."

You watched a young boy come in who looked about your age, your height, your figure, and felt somewhat jealous. His doe like eyes were a shade of dark brown and his hair was jet black. Like Snow White, except male. Yep, you were jealous alright. But you shook that feeling off.

"My name is..." You hear him say, but you can't help but tune out his introduction speech because of a certain amount of noise coming from the other side of the room. Girls, chatting nonchalant about him; talking gossip and exchanging looks: each one judging him, but you've never been one to care about their opinions. Instead, you focus your attention to a pink haired cerulean-eyed girl and take note of her reaction, or more or less of her details as the teacher dreaded on about the young dancer.

"Today, Jae will perform in a dance to see..."

Do you notice the way her eyes seem to be filled with emotion?
"if he will go to the intermediate or the advanced class, or god forbid the apprentice class."

Do you notice the way her hair is a unique shade of pink, making her stand out of a crowd of thousands.
"Jae, you can pick any girl to prove yourself with, but my suggestion is that you choose----"

The way she turns a bright shade of red as the boy known as Jae grabs her hand and bows, elegantly kissing it gently.

Wait, whaaaat?

Your mind rewinds the scene: ignoring the parts of details you spent on Ahiru.

"Today, Jae will perform in a dance to see if he will go to the intermediate or the advanced class, or god forbid; the apprentice class. Jae, you can pick any girl to prove yourself with, but my suggestion is that you choose---"

Already, the flashback shows as he strolls across the room even before the teacher could finish his proposal. He confidently walks in front of a crowd of girls, each of them crossing their fingers hoping to be their lucky day. At last, he stops in front of one of them and grabs one of the lucky girl's hand.

However, as one Newton's third law clearly states: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

And as you watched her hand get polluted with a kiss, you can see a blush on her face and a smile filled with... joy?

If so, you know that the law has now begun to make sense. You're angry, but you don't know why. But the fact is you actually do know why. You're angry at the stranger who just came in and is now trying to take your Ahiru away. You're angry at the fact that she actually envelops his attention, nodding as he asks her to dance. But you're not "angry"... your heart yells at you: the emotion your aura emits is... jealousy

The class, as well as the teacher, are astonished. Ahiru seems to be the most shocked, but as soon as he whispers something in her ear that makes her turn a darker shade of red as if it were humanly possible, she blinks a couple of times as he pulls her up.

The dance is magnificent, both artistic and having shown talent in dance. She seems better now, you admit quietly. But as the dance comes to an end, you see him smirk at you and wink. He then looks down at the young girl now in his arms.

She's smiling, but not for you.

She has that glimmer in her eyes, but not because of you.

And she's not dancing with you... and suddenly, you jolt up, the thought being the final straw.

You excuse yourself from the class claiming you don't feel well. You think you saw enough. But the funny thing is you don't know why you're upset.

Where are you going? The boy named Jae asks and you tell him the truth using a simple shrug. You don't know.

But what you don't tell him is that you do know your destination.

Away from the class.

Away from the images.

And possibly, away from this feeling inside of you.

You end up at the place where you wrote her story: The lake. Your panting hard now, realizing at last that you had ran all the way over there. You end up falling asleep catching your breath seeing the images of a young girl with pink hair that appeared to have a worried face. But you shake the image aside knowing that it couldn't be her. But you know you were in denial. Because you hope the worst. That way, it won't be possible for you to feel disappointed.

You would wake up to a surprise. The figure did happen to be Ahiru. Your brain yells at you, screaming "Nooo..." sarcastically as you manage to regain your posture.

"How long have you been here?" You ask and she answers without looking at you.
"I followed you here from the beginning. I let you sleep."

You ask the smallest and commonly known to man as the world's most complicated and sometimes not answerable question, "Why?"

She answers you with silence and points to the sunset a little bit above the horizon.

After about five minutes of silence, she gets up and stretches, quietly speaking.

"I care about you more than you know, and more that I show..." she says, and you're left down-right speechless. Following her example, you stand up too. You smile as you turn to wipe off any dust that could have been left on your uniform and stretch. After being done, you feel arms wrapped around your waist and a head bury itself in your back. Catching you off guard, you tense. That was Ahiru for you. Filled with surprises. You turn around, making her let go and grab her hands while rapidly sitting down, causing her to lose balance and fall on your lap. She's about to scold but you silence her, telling her the sunset's going to end.

"It's beautiful." She says, and you can't help but think that she's far more gorgeous in his eyes than any sunset.

But one last emotion creeps inside of him: curiosity.

You ask her what did Jae whisper to make her blush.

"Ahh.. ahaha. About that..."

And there she goes again, that same blush visible on her face in the dusk light, her eyes looking downward. She takes a deep breath and let out an explanation.

"He said you look adorable when you're jealous."
