"Miku, are you free this weekend? I have an extra ticket for the movie, 'Hunger Games'. We could catch it together on Saturday." Kaito Shion asked her out. For the third time. Miku wasn't paying attention, for her gaze was on another guy.
Miku Hatsune flipped her long teal hair over her shoulders coyly and winked at Rei Kagene, not the hottest, but definitely the cutest guy, who sat diagonally behind her. She had slipped him a letter which she had written an invitation to a date at her house the next day. Rei looked up, bewildered, yet, entranced by her gesture, then frowned and opened the letter slowly, wondering if it was a trick that the letter was meant for him. After all, she was popular and many boys liked her for her looks, wealth and fame and she had her pick of other rich and popular guys. Why would he be any different?
The letter read:
"Hey Rei, please come to my house tomorrow for a movie. It's just the two of us. I have liked you for a really long time. See you tomorrow! :D
xoxo, Miku 3
He couldn't believe that she had really asked him out, out of the million boys who surrounded her like dogs everyday, just waiting for her to ask them out. He stared at her trying to figure out what she was thinking. She was still looking at him, trying to gauge his reaction. Seeing him look up, she blew him a kiss, smiled flirtatiously then turned back to look at the white board, smug.
A whiteboard marker flew over her head. "Someone wasn't paying any attention," Gakupo sensei remarked scathingly. Eyes wide, Miku stared back at him innocently, as if she completely, utterly, did not comprehend his words.
Rei wasn't paying attention throughout the rest of the lesson either. The letter was exactly what he had always wished for. He groaned inwardly. This was just a joke. A very cruel joke. Miku was definitely just toying with him. When the lesson ended, he fixed her back with one last confused stare, savagely tore the letter into pieces and brushed past her, throwing the handful of paper on her table.
Now at home, Rei was much calmer and was regretting what he had done. He had had a crush on Miku for 3 years, but she would never want to talk to him again for how he had treated her. She would think that she had been strongly rejected when he had torn up her letter right in front of her face. Anyway, what if she had meant it? What if she had really wanted to go out with him and he had just thrown away the opportunity of going on a date with her?
He clenched his fist, angry at his stupidity and himself. He wanted to hit something, anything, to let out his ire before he did something really stupid again tomorrow, like ignore her then it would be over. He wouldn't get to ever go out with her. He made up his mind. He would surprise her tomorrow by going over to her house and apologize sincerely to her. Hopefully, this would overwrite what he did to her today.
Miku felt stumped. What was wrong with the guy anyway? Everyone wanted to go out with her. Well, everyone except Rei Kagene. He was the only guy who didn't ogle when she walked past, the only guy who didn't respond affably when she extended any friendliness to him. Was she not good enough for him? No, it couldn't be.
Miku knew she was attractive. Everything about her was attractive: her long silky teal hair that cascaded down her shoulders and back very much like the shimmering waterfalls which cascaded down the tall valleys, which she always tied in an elegant half-french braid, her matching green eyes, her tall and perfect positioned nose, her sensuously curved lips and her perfect figure. She was also nice to every guy that she met. That's why most guys genuinely liked her.
So why was Rei acting so cool towards her?
Miku was determined to find out. No guy had ever rejected her and he wouldn't be the first. She would get him to go out with her by any means. And he would like her. Like her till he was hers. Miku smiled gleefully. She always got her way because no one, especially a guy, could ever resist her.
