(A/N) Hello! Nice to meet you! This, I believe will be my best work yet! I really, truly look forward to writing this, and have decided to focus all of my attention to it since it will be fairly difficult. It is entitled, "Devil Beside You" Based off the Taiwanese drama starring Rainie Yang and Mike He. However, you do not need to have seen the drama in any way if you don't want to, but I really recommend it because it is really a great show, but it will not affect the storyline what so ever. Also beware, most initial coupling is not permanent, it is all a part of the storyline. So please, enjoy!
Chapter 1
"Mistaken Identity"
The scent of lilacs tumbled through the air, sweetly descending upon her, sending her emotions into a further state of blissful heaven. The cherry blossoms sent a spell of silk release, and with it their petals took flight into the flowing breeze. Each petal soft, smooth, caressing her skin, dancing on imaginary floor tops through the wind until they were far from sight, bending rhythmically into the distance of time. Taking each step forward her heart began to race, rosemary butterflies had begun to flutter causing a ripple effect through to her knees. She continued to walk softly above the angelic feathered ground; sweet honesty consumed her as she now stood before him. His tan face gleamed, basking in the sunlight, his simple lips smiled bashfully as he looked into her eyes with a deep cerulean shade.
"Shu…Shuyin…I've always wanted to tell you how…how I feel for you inside…" He listened intently reaching for her hand.
"Tell me Yuna…tell me…" Smiling shyly she looked into his deep blue eyes that magnified the intensity of her ecstasy.
"I like you… I like you Shuyin…" A breeze danced upon her lips, innocently waiting for his reply.
"Well…Yuna… I feel really bad…" That sentenced lingered for a slight pause, taking her palm into his he smiled brightly.
"Because I had wanted to tell you first…Yuna…will you be my girlfriend?" Giggling innocently he pulled her nearer, whispering softly into her ear.
"Stay…close—"Yuna," Lenne whispered from behind her desk. Her chestnut brown hair fell loosely down her back, her soft brown eyes intense, eagerly trying to catch Yuna's attention.
"Yuna…snap out of it! The teacher is going to go berserk!" Lenne whispered much louder this time as she pressed her foot harder into the back of Yuna's chair. It was too late the teacher had recognized Yuna's mental absence and had already begun to make her way toward her desk. Sitting back into her chair resuming her notes Lenne cringed at the sound of the teacher's book landing harshly on the front of Yuna's desk causing her to jump from out of her skin, suddenly quick to identify her surroundings Yuna looked up toward the now angry teacher.
"If you refuse to pay attention in my class Miss Yuna, then you may leave, and go somewhere else." Turning her back once more to the chalkboard she continued on about her notes.
"Ugh…I did it again…but he is just so…dreamy…" Pausing in thought she lifted her head, slowly maneuvering it to the side. Shuyin sat in the opposing row shaking his head jokingly toward her. Pouting her lip shyly she returned to her paper, unable to resist her smile resurfacing.
The bell rang shortly and all the students filed out into the hallway toward the cafeteria or any social group clubs they had to attend. For Shuyin it was blitz ball practice, and for Yuna it was watching blitz ball practice. Gathering her books quickly she attempted to stand before being forced back into her seat by two hands heavily placed on her shoulders. Rikku and Lenne, Yuna's two best friends, and she knew what they wanted.
"Nuh-uh Yunie, you aren't going anywhere, now spill!" Rikku chirped, leaning closer intriguingly.
"Now tell us! What were you dreaming about? You can't keep it a secret!" Lenne replied desperately to know.
"Well…" Yuna began softly. Both Lenne and Rikku began to edge closer.
"Shuyin asked me out!" Yuna yelled, jumping from her desk with enthusiasm. Rikku and Lenne looked at each other mischievously placing their palms back unto Yuna's shoulder. Retaking her seat she stared off into the distance blankly.
"You guys aren't thinking…what I hope your not thinking? Right?" Nodding their heads they burst into silent giggles allowing Yuna to slouch over.
"I…don't think I can guys…that takes…bravery…I don't have that!" Grabbing her up from her seat Rikku yelled.
"C'mon, write a letter to him, and hand it to him after blitz practice! Get the courage or stay here in discourage!" Rikku chanted teasingly. Taking a moment to glance up to the clock Lenne realized that blitz practice would be over soon. It was now or never. Taking Yuna by the wrist, she dragged her from the classroom, sprinting down the hall with Rikku close behind. Her heart raced faster.
"Can…can I do this? I'm too nervous, what if I—" Hey Yunie, take this paper note, and write whatever you want to write in it. Hurry its almost time." Rikku squealed seeming more excited than any of them. Taking Lenne's pen and Rikku's notepaper she jotted down what she could before Lenne whispered rather loudly, "Yuna hurry, he'll be coming soon. Tucking behind a nearby pillar Rikku concealed her purse, pushing it closer to her chest. Scaling back up the staircase, Lenne squatted behind the banister, looking out over the courtyard, she searched for Shuyin. They had waited a few minutes, but it was neither hot nor cold. It was fairly warm with a slight breeze that drifted from the late afternoon day.
"Yuna!" Lenne suddenly yelled, "He's coming up the steps!" And with that signal Rikku and Lenne tucked themselves away into hiding.
"I…can't do this…I just…can't. What if he says no! I'll look like such a complete fool!" An Imaginary situation streamed through her head as she leaned back against the stonewall.
"Well…Shuyin, I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me? We have some classes together, and—"You!" He would say, "Why would anybody want to date you!" Yuna shivered at the mere thought of rejection. She could hear his footsteps scaling the stairs and finally into the courtyard.
"He is just around the corner Yuna…come on, you can do this! It's now or never, and the worst thing he can do is…say no…right?" She questioned internally rehashing the situation in her head as she stared down to the small pink-tinted note.
"To: Shuyin
With Love: Yuna"
It read sweetly. Gripping onto it tighter she nodded her head in agreement with her heart. She could hear him coming closer. He was now only inches away from turning about the corner.
"Shuyin…please take my note…I like you!" She croaked out rather nervously tilting her head down toward the pavement embarrassedly.
"Okay…brace yourself Yuna…here it comes…the big N-O!" However there was no reply. Mere natural silence, the bells from a distant church sounded, the wind blew through the nearby trees…all was eerily silent. With hearing her profound confession Lenne stood from behind the banister, and Rikku edged away from behind the pillar to see the outcome. Both smiles instantly faded, worriedly looking at Yuna.
"He isn't laughing? He isn't…saying anything…" Yuna thought as she raised her head, slowly making eye contact with the same cerulean eyes as before…yet…not the "intended." Instantly dropping her letter to the floor, she could hear it echo, even with its soft landing onto the cement. His blonde highlights gleamed as the sun floated behind him in the horizon. He smiled devishly toward her, mocking her with his arrogance. His deep blue eyes pierced her dignity into two. His pants were rather baggy, and he wore a loose fitted black jacket. Still he said nothing, but instead had felt the need to rather let Yuna bathe in her own embarrassment.
"I…I…I… I thought…I thought…" She stuttered completely mortified. It had already taken so much just to ask, and it wasn't even the right guy. He continued to look upon her and her pathetic emotions. Quickly signaling Rikku, Lenne ran to Yuna's side, grabbing her hand tightly, unable to imagine how embarrassed she must be.
"I blew it," She thought to herself as Lenne pulled her away. Rikku picked up her purse that she had dropped at the initial morbid scene, and followed both girls close behind through the foyer. They began to run through the hallway, not stopping for any reason at all.
"Lenne! Could you walk a little bit? It isn't like he is following us." Rikku yelled with what little breath she had left. Stopping in her tracks, she turned to a now speechless Yuna.
"Uh…Yuna…you okay?" Lenne asked concerned. Rikku leaned her back up against a hallway locker, slowly slipping down to sit.
"Man Yunie…how did you profess your love to the wrong guy…I mean… weren't ya looking?" Rikku asked tiredly. Lenne narrowed her eyes down to Rikku.
"Hey, she'll get another chance…I mean she has three classes with him right?" Rikku nodded and edged her feet closer, resting her chin upon them.
"Hey Lenne," Rikku began, "Didn't you say that that guy was Shuyin? It definitely wasn't!"
"Hey! He looked just like him! I'm just trying to help okay?!" Lenne defensively yelled back.
"His name is Tidus. He just transferred here to major in the arts program. He got expelled from his old school, but his dad is the College President here…and doesn't care what he does." Rikku calmly replied.
"Rikku, how do you even know this stuff?" Lenne spat as she dropped her defensive appearance, and accompanied her on the cool marble floor. After running all that way it was surely a relief.
"I just hear the gossip from other girls. He also leads this group of guys…who basically think that run everything. I also heard that each and every one of them have been arrested at least once!" Rikku explained shaking her head with sympathy for Yuna. Standing to her feet she looked into Yuna's bi-colored eyes, continuing to explain the rest of her story, but more so unintentionally scaring Yuna.
"But what's even more disturbing…girls still chase this guy. Can you believe that? Rikku yelled, echoing within the empty hall. Yuna collapsed onto the floor, hitting her knees harder than expected. Letting out a sigh she turned to Lenne teary eyed.
"I blew it huh?" She whispered on the verge of crying. Rikku snapped forward helping Lenne help Yuna to her feet. Both smiling they shook their heads fiercely.
"No Yunie! You'll have another chance! You still have the note right?" Rikku replied optimistically. Letting out a sigh, Yuna sluggishly searched her pocket, and then faster, and faster, until she suddenly looked up with a horrified facial expression.
"My note! I dropped it! If anybody finds that! They'll know! It has both of our names on it!" Yuna screamed mortified, parting between the two girls Yuna raced back toward the foyer's entrance, not looking back once to if they had also followed or not.
"If...anybody reads that note...then..."
All right that was Chapter one! I hope you guys enjoyed it! Don't worry they'll get better! Promise!!! Review please!!!
