The 10 Things I Hate About You

It was late at night but Misaki Ayuzawa just wasn't ready to go to bed. For some reason, her body wasn't going to let her sleep that easily. Though, she tried and tried closing her eyes and clearing her mind so that she could fall asleep faster, she was unsuccessful.

Finally giving up on trying to sleep, Misaki rose from her bed and moved towards her desk. If she wasn't going to fall asleep soon, she might as well try and do something productive.

The 16 year old girl decided to start on her paper that was due next week. She opened her journal and started thinking of a topic to write about. At first she thought it was easy, for their teacher said they could right about absolutely anything. But now, seeing that she couldn't think of a theme, she believed otherwise. 10 minutes had already passed, and Ayuzawa had accomplished nothing.

She started looking around her room, hoping that she would be able to find something worthy of writing about. Her eyes stopped at the sight of a small teddy bear. It wasn't just any teddy bear. It was a gift from Usui Takumi, a perverted, outerspace alien batch mate of hers. Up to this day, she wondered why she hasn't dumped it in her trash can yet.

"I should write about that annoying idiot. The teacher will finally find out about what a perverted stalker he is and give him the punishment he deserves."

Grabbing her pen she began to write.

The 10 Things I Hate About Usui Takumi

By: Ayuzawa Misaki

The brown-haired girl couldn't help but smirk. She imagined herself living like she had before he found out about her secret. In a few days time, things would go back to how they used to be. Usui would stop following her and annoying the heck out of her. She would forget about him. Usui Takumi would just be a man who turned down girls' confession. Nothing more.

She continued.

Let me start off with a list of why I hate him.

I hate Usui Takumi because…

1. He is a perverted, outer space alien.

2. He annoys the heck out of me.

3. He would never leave me alone and would keep following me.

4. He is predictably unpredictable.

5. He is good at everything. (It makes me jealous.)

6. He controls people into doing what he wants.

7. He thinks that he's "all that".

8. He is an idiot.

9. He makes me feel uncomfortable.

10. I can't stop thinking about him and I'm in love with him.

Misaki dropped her pen in shock. Her hands were trembling and her eyes wouldn't leave the last number she had written. When writing her paper, she didn't notice her hands seemed to move by themselves. And now, an irrefutable truth showed itself before her.

She wondered how she could have written such a thing. She couldn't be thinking about him all the time. Even more, she couldn't be in love with him. Or at least, that was what she believed. Ayuzawa had just discovered the secret she has been trying to hide from everyone, including herself.

The Student Council President of Seika High tore the paper with from her notebook and threw it across the room.

There was silence for a moment as Misaki tried to calm down.

A sigh escaped her lips and she rested her head on the palms of her hands.

"Face it, Misaki. You love him."

There was no point in trying to forget what just happened. She couldn't keep lying to herself like this anymore. She couldn't keep running away from the truth. She loved Usui and nothing would change that.

Misaki looked down at her notebook. It was empty again, like it was before she even began writing.

"I guess I'm back to square one…".

Ayuzawa Misaki's eyes shuttered close. Her arms slowly dropped to her table, her head leaned forward and she finally drifted off to sleep.
