Chapter 1: Rain.
Haru's POV
I sat at the desk in my room and looked out of the window. It was the afternoon, and there weren't going to be any classes today.
I sighed, "There's nothing to do..."
Even if there was something to do, I'd still be stuck in my room. I don't want to risk running into him. Yep, that's right, I'm talking about Kaname Kuran. The mere mention of his name makes my blood boil. Ugh, I absolutely hate him!
A knock on the door interrupted me from my thoughts.
I stood up and opened the door, "Oh, hello, Aido."
Aido bowed, "Hello, Princess Haru."
That's right. Not just Haru, Princess Haru. The reason he's using such formalities is none other than the fact that I'm a pureblood.
"What do you need," I asked.
He looked away and blushed slightly, "W-Well, it's just that there isn't any classes today and you're up here all alone in your room while everyone is downstairs, so I was just checking to see if something was wrong..."
I smiled and ruffled his hair, "Nothing's wrong, I just don't want to leave my room, that's all."
"Alright, I apologize if I disturbed you," he said as he bowed again and walked away.
I shut the door and laid down on my bed.
There was another knock on the door.
I didn't feel like moving, so I just shouted, "Come in."
The door then opened and closed.
I looked over to see the very person I despised...
Kaname motherfucking Kuran.
I looked back up at the ceiling, "I change my mind, go away," I said as I started to get a weird feeling in my stomach.
I hate this feeling. This is one of the many reasons why I hate him.
He sighed and took a step closer, "Why won't you come out of your room?"
Times like these, where I can't avoid him, I just love to get on his nerves.
"Because I don't want to be in the same room as you," I stated simply, "It's hard enough being in the same building, at least spare me this much."
His eyebrow twitched in annoyance, "And why is that?"
I looked over to him with a bored expression, "Because I don't like you. In fact, I hate you, so leave."
I made sure to avoid eye contact with him, because if I were to look into his eyes, no matter how hard I would try, I know I wouldn't be able to look away.
He left the room with a sigh.
I looked back up to the ceiling and moved my hands above my head, "Why did he have to come in here?"
Sometimes I just wish that I could explain to him why it is that I hate him, but... what good will that do me? Nothing would change if I told him.
Kaname's POV
I left Haru's room with a sigh and locked myself in my own room.
I don't know why I let her get to me like this. I did nothing wrong, so why does she hate me so much?
I laid down on my bed and looked up at the ceiling, "Oh, Haru," I sighed, "You make me cruel."
Not once in my life has someone bothered me as much as Haru has. Every day, my head is plagued with thoughts of her. It's alright for now. She will eventually come to me.
Haru's POV
I sat outside on the balcony in my room and watched as the rain fell from the sky.
I like the rain, it helps me relax. I like to sit in the cold and listen to the sound of the sky's tears hitting the ground. I like feeling the little stinging pain it leaves on my cold skin, or the way the wind hits me so hard I can feel it in my bones. I like how in that moment, I can forget about everything else.
Kaname's POV
The storm had caused the electricity in the dormitory to go out, so Takuma and I were checking on everyone to see if they were alright.
I went into Haru's room to check on her, but I didn't see her anywhere. I looked all around the room, until I noticed a small figure on the balcony. I opened the door to the balcony and saw Haru sleeping in a chair. She was completely drenched in rain.
I lifted her up and carried her back into her room, "You're going to catch a cold at this rate." I laid her down on her bed and started looking for a towel. Once I found one, I walked back over to her and started to dry her hair with it. After I finished that, I put my jacket around her and piled her blankets on top of her.
I smiled down at her and kissed her forehead, "Sweet dreams."
