C'est La Vie Chapter 1
Summary: A girl likes Mizuki! What is she to do?
Mizuki stepped out of her 5th period class, heading out across the courtyard to lunch. Trailing closely behind her was Sano, her best friend, crush, and idol. She was chattering continuously about something to him. He just nodded like he understood and walked on, seeing the close approach of the cafeteria doors in front of them.
"Um, excuse me," a quiet voice interrupted Mizuki's chattering. "Are you Mizuki Ashiya?" A girl of about 16 was standing there nervously in a fitted St. Blossom Academy uniform (their sister school).
"You can go on ahead, Sano. I'll be there in just a minute." Mizuki gazed attentively at the girl ready for whatever she was about to say.
Sano shrugged and turned to walk into the lunchroom. He gazed back behind him. 'I hope she knows what she's doing,' he muttered to himself.
"Hi, um…Ashiyasan? I wanted to ask you something." She nervously fumbled with something behind her back.
"Would you…um, wouldyoubemyboyfriend?" She said this all in one breath while thrusting a box of chocolates out towards Mizuki.
A stunned Mizuki looked back at her. "What exactly did you just say?" she whispered, not daring to believe her ears.
"I asked…um…" she blushed a deep crimson and looked down at her feet. "Would you, I mean, would you be my boyfriend?"
Mizuki had forgotton for a moment that it was Valentine's Day. Girls were supposed to give chocolates to the boys they liked and wait for a response. She had been so preoccupied with thinking about whether she should wish Sano a happy Valentine's Day.
"Well, I…I don't know…um…"
"Here, just take these." The girl thrust the chocolates into her hands. "I really like you, and even if we don't end up being together, I wanted you to know that."
"I—I'll think about it, thanks." Mizuki smiled warmly at the girl to ease the tension.
"You will! Really!" The girl brightened up and seemed to spring to life. "Oh, and my name is Shiina Kano. Thanks, I'll see you around, Mizuki!" With that, she bounded off across the courtyard and was lost in the masses of students.
Mizuki stood, stunned, holding the box of chocolates. She slowly turned and waked inside the cafeteria, too bewildered to think.
"Hey, are you alright?" A concerned Sano had gotten up at the sign of zombie-like Mizuki and guided her into the seat next to him. "Mizuki! He shook her shoulders and turned her towards him.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
Her face still had a stunned look on it, like she didn't quite know what had just happened.
Nakatsu turned towards her and put his arm, that was not occupied with shoveling food down his mouth, over her shoulders. "You OK? What's that you've got there, let me see!" he wrenched the box forcefully out of her hands. He ripped off the top and looked inside.
"Chocolates!" he yelled, earning himself more than one insane look. "Where'd you get these? You can't mean…"
