Love Trouble!

Chapter 1: The Day My Life Changed!

"That's it!"

Lindy put down her tea with a loud thud on the table. Its green contents swirl inside, but fortunately it didn't spill on the table. Fate choked on her sandwich and immediately gulps down her glass of juice.

"Seriously mom, why are you shouting early in the morning?" Fate raised a brow at her mom.

Lindy sighed. She clasped her hands together and rests her chin over it. Fate gulps nervously as she knows her mom only did that if she's about to say something serious.

"Fate," Lindy slowly opens her eyes and stare at her daughter "when will you introduce me to your special someone?"

Fate was caught off guard by her mother's question and almost fell on her chair. "M-mom what are you talking about? I did introduce you to my special someone several times, but you don't like anyone of them." Fate sighed.

Lindy furrowed her brows together then rubs the bridge of her nose tiredly. "You did introduce them to me, but how can I like anyone of them if you bring different girl each time you bring someone here?"

Fate shows a charming smile and look sideways to her mother. "Oh please, mom, don't look at me like that. What can I do if girls fall in love with me the moment they saw me."

Lindy narrowed her eyes and pinched…well more like crushed Fate's ear as she pulled on it. "Fate I told you to stop playing around with girls' heart and start a serious relationship for a change! I understood when you told me you're only interested in girls, but please, I'm worried about your future. You might end up spending the rest of your life alone if you keep this up." Lindy sighed again then let go of her daughter's ear when she heard her whimpering from pain.

"I know, I know. That's why I've been avoiding any contact with girls for the last few weeks." Fate rubbed her red ears and pouted a little bit. Her mother is the reason why she didn't dare to bring someone in their house again.

"That's the problem. Because you suddenly stopped flirting with girls, something happened yesterday." Lindy can feel her eyebrow twitch from the memory. She then narrowed her eyes dangerously at Fate.

"W-what happened?" Fate didn't like where this is going.

"A girl, I think you brought here before gave me a box yesterday morning, saying it's a present for you. After the girl left, I opened it since she looked odd and what I found inside was a thick rope neatly place inside. There was even a note there saying to place the rope tightly around your neck. It's more like a death wish than a present"

Fate shivered. She didn't know girls could be that scary. "Umm, I'm sorry?" Fate laughs nervously then scratches the back of her head. Lindy sighed for the nth time.

Lindy sips her tea before she looks at the time then to her daughter. "I'm going to be late for work. We'll talk later okay?" Lindy kissed Fate's forehead and Fate sees her off. She waves until she can't see her mom's car anymore. She sighs and steps inside her own black car to go to her school.

Since Lindy's husband death 5 years ago, Lindy was left to take care of her daughter Fate, but because her mother can't completely accept her husband's death, she spends more time at work than with Fate. Even though Fate is always left alone in their big and empty house, she understood and never felt mad or anything towards her mother. Lindy felt bad for not acting like a mother to Fate so she spends as much time as she can with her daughter. Because of Lindy's hard work, she earned so much money that Fate can spend her whole life without having any problem with money.

Fate sighed. Even though they're already so rich, it didn't stop her mother from working too hard. She guessed it already became a habit of her mother as a workaholic person.

Minutes passed and Fate could already see her school from a distance. Her school is 10 minutes travel from her house if she used her car, but if a person rode a train it takes 15-20 minutes including the waiting time. Fate was glad she has a driver's license and a car. She really hates riding on public transportation.

Parking her car in her school's big parking lot, Fate finally arrived to her school, the Uminari Academy. Picking her bag and stepping out of her car, Fate walks the rest of the way to her school. She can hear students chat and greet each other as they walk on a nice brick path with trees lined up on either side of the path giving a nice shade for the students that passed by.

"Hey you!" someone patted Fate's shoulder and she slowly looked over her shoulder.

"Ah, Hayate good morning" Fate smiled.

Hayate walked beside Fate and looks at her. "So…" Hayate said with a pause.

"So?" Fate continues and raises an eyebrow.

"So until when are you going to avoid the girls? Can't you see their longing looks at you? Your fans are complaining about your recent cold personality." Hayate smirked.

Fate sighed. She can't believe that topic about her is back again. "Hayate, I'm not really playing with their hearts right?" Fate asked. Hayate didn't expect Fate's question.

She looked into her eyes and tried her best to hold her laughter when she saw Fate's serious face. "Why do you ask?" Hayate smiled. She never saw Fate look serious when it's a topic about girls

"Well mom said I'm only playing around with girls. I never really thought of it like that before."

Hayate chuckled. "So your mom gave you the talk again? No wonder your avoiding the girls these past few weeks. You always think too much." Hayate pat Fate's back repeatedly. She felt sorry for her friend.

Fate stopped. She put her hands on Hayate's shoulders and made her look at her. "Hayate tell me the truth."

Hayate give her a look as if saying okay you asked for it. "Well, you can't blame your mom if she says it like that. You act all sweet and charming on every girl you see and when you find someone you feel attracted to, you bring her home to introduce her to your mom, but you never really said that girl is your girlfriend. Just that she's special and you like her and when things get serious and the girl starts to demand a serious relationship with you, you break things off" Hayate raised a brow when Fate sighed again.

"You know how mom feels about the word 'girlfriend'. The reason why I bring girls home is so she will know I like someone, but I guess it backfired when I bring more than one girl. Besides, I don't like commitments. A serious relationship only makes life complicated." Fate smiled and shook her head from side to side. "Just think about it. If I start a serious relationship, my girl will want my full attention on her and I bet she will be mad from the slightest attention I will give to other girls. It's like being wrapped in a chain with her holding it firmly." Fate shivered on the thought. Just thinking about it makes her stomach flip.

Hayate rolled her eyes from Fate's exaggerated explanation. "Duh! Of course your girlfriend will want your full attention and be jealous with other girls. She is your girlfriend after all."

Fate face palmed. "Ah forget it. I should stop thinking about it. Besides, I'm still searching for my soul mate."

Hayate sighed in defeat. She can't believe her friend could be thickheaded. "That's what you said to your mom the last time you broke up with a girl. That's why your mom said you're playing with girls' hearts"

A group of girls walked beside the two friends and greeted Fate. "Good morning Fate-sama!"

Fate's eyes softened and she showed them her charming smile before she also greeted them in return. The girls squealed in happiness saying, "The prince smile at me!" as Fate and Hayate walked pass by them.

Hayate could swear she saw one of the girls faint. Hayate looked at her friend then pat her shoulder to get her attention. "Fate-chan, try not to give so much attention to the girls. Your future girlfriend will have a hard time." Hayate smiled playfully.

"What? All I did was greet them. Besides, my future girlfriend will be happy to have a popular girlfriend like me." Fate laughed confidently ignoring Hayate's bored look.

"You know, I don't know what happened to you, but I remember you were not like this when we were still little."

Fate snorted and rolled her eyes "I'm not really into girls when I was still little Hayate. I just realized I did when I reached my teenage years remember?"

"Riiight. Anyway, are you going to my party tonight? Everyone will be there and tonight I can finally introduce you to my new friend. I just know you would like her."

Fate smiled. "Really? You've been talking about her lately. It makes me curious as to what she's like. I'll look forward to it then."

~xX*Xx~

After class, Fate drove home to change her clothes for the party. Fate spent 30 minutes to find some clothes to wear for the party and after sometime, she finally decide to wear a zip up hooded sleeveless shirt with a black shirt inside and short shorts and a pair of yellow sneakers. Satisfied, Fate looked around her room and groaned in annoyance when she saw her clothes scattered everywhere. She sighed and told herself to clean up later before she stepped outside of her house, locked the main door then stepped inside her car and drove to Hayate's house.

When Fate arrived, the house is already full of people. Fate looked around, but didn't recognize some of the guests. Fate thought they must be Hayate's classmates. They might be childhood friends, but Fate and Hayate also have their own group of friends and Fate didn't bother to get to know them. She wasn't really interested.

Fate walked through the crowd of people when suddenly someone pulled on her right arm. "Hi Fate. How are you? Why are so cold lately?" The brown haired girl smiled sweetly.

Fate didn't push her away making the girl smile more and pressed her chest on Fate's arm. Fate doesn't seem to mind as if she was used to it instead, she flash her charming smile at the girl making the girl blush.

"Sorry, I'm a little busy lately."

Some random girls approach her too, squealing when they noticed Fate. Fate noticed the girls were fighting over her about who can stand close to her, even the girl holding her earlier was pulled back by the crowd of squealing fans wanting her attention. Fate chuckle softly.

Her handsome smile was plastered on her face. "Girls, girls. Stop arguing. You'll ruin your beautiful faces, such a waste" Fate deep gaze fell on a black haired girl and the girl blushed furiously. She almost fainted when she felt dizzy under Fate's gaze. "You girls should enjoy the night instead of arguing. Be nice okay?" Fate motioned, then to give way when she said she will greet the birthday girl and the girls happily gave her way. They were happy they did because Fate smiled a thank you at the girls as she walks out of the crowd.

Fate looked around again and she finally spotted a familiar brown haired girl talking to someone. Fate smiled and tapped Hayate's shoulder. "Hey I'm here. Happy birthday Hayate." Fate handed her present and Hayate accepted it happily.

"Thanks Fate-chan." Hayate beamed.

"So is she here yet?" Fate asked and looked around.

Hayate giggled. "You're really interested in her aren't you? I'm surprised. You didn't even meet her yet." Hayate crossed her arms and raise a brow.

"Of course I'm interested. You said you immediately liked her the first time you meet her after some little chat, it never happened before."

Hayate smirked. "Okay if you say so. Umm, I hate to ruin your mood, but it looks like she won't make it tonight. She said that her parents need extra hands at their shop."

Fate look disappointed, but she shrugged it off. "It's fine. We can meet another time then."

The party ends exactly at 10 pm and everyone slowly leaves Hayate's house. Fate offered to help clean up the mess left after the party, but Hayate pushed her out saying that she should go home. Fate reluctantly agreed and stepped inside her car. Fate waved good bye and drove back to her house.

On the way home, Fate was about to turn right at an intersection when a red car speed pass through her car. Fate was surprised and unconsciously pulled hard on the steering wheel to the left, making her car bump to a lamp post. Fate looked pale when she heard the sound of her car rubbing on the lamp post. Fate immediately cut the engine of the car and walks to the other side of her car. Numerous curses immediately ran out of Fate's mouth when she saw a large scratch and a little bent on the side of her car. Fate was really furious. She takes good care of this car. She didn't even let Hayate eat inside her car when she gives her a ride home because she didn't want any dirt inside her car. Fate cursed one more time glaring at the path the car went and thought about following it to punch whoever did this to her car. She sighed. 'It's impossible to follow it now'. Fate returns to the driver's sit and decide to drive to the auto repair shop to fix her car. The technician examined the scratch and informed Fate to return tomorrow to get it. Fate nods and reluctantly leaves her car behind. Fate sighed. Now that her car is in the repair shop, her only way to get home is through the train station.

~xX*Xx~

Fate sighs as she swipes her card and moves pass the crowd waiting for the train to arrive. Finding a good spot to wait for the train with less people around, Fate sighs again as she adjusts her bag that she forgot to take out of her car earlier. Fate unconsciously sighed again when she realize she'll have to ride the train again tomorrow.

"Great, just great." Fate muttered to herself.

She lightly sighed in relief when she saw the light of the train in the corner of her left eye. At least she can finally go home and rest. She was patiently waiting for the train when a girl caught her attention. A brunette girl that looks the same age as her stood over the line and slowly crouched down as if to pick up something.

What is she doing can't she hear the announcer saying that the train is almost here?

Fate panics then cursed inside her head when she saw the girl wearing earphones. She ran as fast as she could to the girl and immediately grips her left hand and pulls the girl towards herself. She didn't realize she pulled the girl too hard making her step backwards several times and the girl's body slams at her own.

Fate slowly opens her eyes as she felt something soft press on her lips. Her eyes widen. She accidentally kissed the girl she just saved. She panics, but when the girl opened her eyes, she was mesmerized to see a beautiful pair of slate blue eyes. The two stands there just staring at each other, lost in each other's eyes that they actually forgot that their lips are still connected.

The two didn't realize that the train already arrives and people are looking at them while slowly boarding the train. Fate's heart started to beat faster and faster as she feels time suddenly stop while she stared at the girl. After sometime, the clouded eyes of the girl become clear and a blush immediately spread on her cheeks. The girl pushes Fate away and before Fate could react, she felt a sting spreading on her right cheek.

"Pervert!" The girl shouted before she ran to the train before it closed.

Fate stands there as she tries to register what happened. She slowly raises her hand and touches her reddening cheek.
