Title: A Little Too Late

By Me

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Maid Sama and Say "I love you" crossover.

Kurosawa looked down at me, he scratched the back of his head as he looked away. "Maybe we should just break up," He tells me.

I felt my heart break in two that very moment, but I wasn't going to show him. "I think that's best." I say before I walk away from him.

After that, I swore to never fall in love again, but then he came alone and everything changed.

One year later...

"How was school today?" My mom asks as she sat in the doorway, my cat sitting at her lap. "Do you like it, or do you want to go back to -" I knew what she was going to say.

"It was great, mom," I cut her off as I undid my high ponytail and gently tucked the ribbon into my pocket for safekeeping. "Seika High is the best, and I love it." I tell her sternly as I make my way to my bedroom. I didn't have to look back to see that she was slightly disappointed by my choices during the last year, but it's my life. I'm not going to be that anti-social girl anymore, I was going to everything that I was never before.

Dropping my bag, I dig out my phone and checked for any text messages. I smile to myself as my inbox receives a new message, it was from Kano.

Are you free tonight?

I smile at his text message.

Yeah, where do you want to meet?

I didn't have to wait long before I got a reply from him.

Outside school, how about at six? We could go catch a late screening of that new film Sakura was talking about.

I chuckle.

Sure.

With that, I toss my phone aside to get changed. As I opened my closet, I looked down at the boxes of my old clothes. After Kurosawa and I broke up, I guess I handled depression badly. I mean, I packed up all my crappy clothes, and I changed my hair. Hell, I even transferred to a lower standard school, but it was worth it. Even though my mom doesn't like the change, she's just glad that I got my life stable again. But I guess she disapproves of my appearance now, I've gone for a bad girl image since it was the complete opposite of who I used to be. I mean look at me. I have long hair with bleach blonde streaks at the bottom, I have three piercings on my ears and I wore make up now. Not to mention I have boyfriend who seems to be kind of obsessed with his sunglasses for some odd reason.

"Mei," I hear my mother's voice call through the door as I grabbed a white tank top and brown shorts, along with my boots. The door opened as my mom came in. "Are you going out tonight again?" She asks me as she watches me change into my outfit. "Because I was hoping that maybe we could go watch that movie." She tells me.

I toss my uniform into my laundry basket before I take the ribbon and tie my hair into a high ponytail. "Oh, me and Kano are going to watch that movie tonight mom." I reply before grabbing my handbag and camera. "See yeah," I told her on my way out as I kissed her forehead. "Don't wait up for me." I call through the door before I leave the house.

I take my usual root to school as I smile to myself.

As I get closer to the school, I pass by a new signboard, on it was Megumi and Kurosawa. I roll my eyes at their couple shot. It was heartbreaking that he dumped me for her, but why wouldn't he. I was a plain jane, and she was a model. He had to date someone at his standard right? And since they were getting pretty close, why not dump me for her? So he did.

"Mei-chan," I hear Kano's voice from a distance as I smile. I see him in his usual sunglasses and hoodie. I chuckle as I walk up to him and smile, he returns the smile as he holds out his arm for me. "Shall we leave?" He asks me politely.

I smile. "Sure," I take his arm and look up at him. I still couldn't believe that he used to have a fear of girls. "Kano-kun," I begin to say as we walk together towards the cinema. "You would never cheat on me will you?" I ask him softly.

Kano stops and looks down at me. "Mei, I don't know why you keep asking me that question, but answer will always be the same. I'll never cheat on you." He replies.

"Good then," I tell him as we arrive at the entrance of the cinema. "I'll wait here, you go get the tickets." Kano gently pecks my cheek before he leaves.

I cross my arms as my expression turns emotionless. I was like this at times, I guess it was hard moving past this habit. I suddenly feel a tap on my shoulder as I raise a brow and turn around, my eyes widen in a way, but I kept my cool on the inside. "Tachibana-san, is that you?" A teary eyed Asami asks as she stares at me.

"Do I know you?" I ask her as if she's a stranger.

Asami pouts as she shakes her head. "Oh sorry," She says. "I just thought that you were my friend, since the strap on your phone is the same as the one I gave her." Oh right, I look down at the strap hanging from my phone. "I'm so sorry for the inconvenience." She says before walking away from me, I watch her go.

She looked the same as the last time I saw her, maybe sadder in a way, but the same. I sigh. Yet I couldn't tell her who I was, after all, she was one of his friends.

"Do you know her?" I hear Kano say from behind me.

I close my eyes and shake my head. "Nope, let's go." I turn and walk into the theater, Kano followed behind me.

"That was hilarious," I say before I laugh at the scene Kano mentioned. "I can't believe it either." I tell him.

Kano chuckles. "I guess we'll never know why," He replies as he looks at the time on his phone. "Are you hungry, Mei?" He asks me.

At the though of food, my stomach rumbles. "Let's try out that new joint down the street." He suggests as I take his hand and run.

"What are we waiting for then?" I call out happily. "Let's go."

Kano smiles.

Soon enough, we arrive at the joint, it looked rather expensive, maybe even pricey. "Maybe this wasn't such a good idea," I say to Kano. Kano ignores me and asks for a table for two instead, the waiter smiles and takes us inside. I was right, this place was pretty expensive looking. "Ugh, rich people." I mutter as I ignore the looks I received. I mean, just because a girl looking like a rocker comes into a restaurant like this doesn't mean she broke in here.

"Just ignore them, you're adorable just the way you are." Kano tells me as he takes my hand and leads me the table the man has showed us. As we take a seat, I practically choke on air as I spotted a group of people not that far away from us. I grab the menu and cover my face. My mind was going crazy.

'Crap, what were they doing here?'

I glance over the menu as I looked at the people at the table.

'They're all there. Asami and Kenji; Aiko and Masashi, hell even Kakeru and Chiharu. More importantly, Kurosawa and Megumi.'

"Mei," I look back at Kano who was staring at me with a concerned expression on his face. "Is everything alright?" He asks me.

I smile at him. "I'm fine," I lie as I look at the doorway. I felt my jaw drop. "Oh my god," I whisper as Kano looks before he raises a brow too. Almost every one in the room was looking at Usui, he was smiling as he walked in a suit. I didn't know why the hell he was here, but for some reason, he was headed right for us. "Oh hell no." I mutter.

Usui smiles at us. "Do you mind if I join you two?" He asks us politely, a fake beam of sunlight seemed to glow around him.

"No," I deadpanned, but the fool sat down anyway. Ignoring the looks we got, I rolled my eyes and looked at him. "Why are you here?" I ask him.

Usui smiles. "Misaki is trying to find out where I live, so she's following me around and I thought that I might have some fun." He tells me before picking up the menu I dropped when I saw him enter.

"So you're sending her on a wild goose chase?" I ask him, Usui simply nodded. "What a kind person you are..." I mutter sarcastically as I sigh and look at Kano. He was smiling in a way. "Hey, Kano, maybe we should just leave." I tell him.

"But we haven't ordered yet, and you're hungry, Mei." He protests.

I shake my head and smile. "I'll survive," I tell him as I stand up. "Let's just go." I wave goodbye at Usui and begin walking.

"Tachibana-san," I hear Usui call at me, I sigh. Crap, the secret was kind of out, so I stood my ground.

"What?" I demand in annoyance as I glance back at Usui.

He smiles at me and places a finger on his lip. "Keep this a secret from Misa from me." He says as he winks. Some women the room sigh, I roll my eyes in disgust.

"Whatever." I reply, but I held out my pinky finger for him to see. He would know that I would keep it a secret from him. "Let's go, Kano." I say as Kano takes my hand and we walk out of the restaurant.

I still couldn't shake off the feeling that something bad was going to happen though.

Something really bad.

FML.
