"I like you."
I stared at him; bewildered.
"Ever since middle school, I've always wanted to say this. Will you please go out with me?"
I was so confused. This is the first time anyone confessed to me... and I barely know him! Was he even in my class?!
"Umm... what was your name again?"
"Kazeshiro Ikkaku... I know that you barely know me but I am really in love with you. I wanted to see your response because it seemed like you were always around Tomoe-san. I didn't know if you two were going out or not.."
What is this guy saying? I am so confused. And if he knows that I'm around Tomoe, shouldn't he see any signs? We might not be dating but we are still very close.. well that's what I think.. He did reject my feelings though...
~FLASHBACK~
"Tengu said that girls around your age go through a period when they fall for men very easily. But that was Tangu speaking. Girls always fall in love with that ugly bird. Sorry Nanami.. I know you're not-"
"And if I said that I did like you. What would happen then?"
" Nanami..what are you-"
" I'm saying that I love you! Do you have a problem with that?"
pause
"I will never fall in love with a human woman!"
~END OF FLASHBACK~
He did reject my confession. That means he has no interest in my love life right?
"Let me think about it Ikkaku-san. Can we meet up again sometime later?"
(eyes turning wide)"That would be great! Take your time and thoroughly think about it please!" (walks away)
What am I going to say? I don't really LIKE LIKE the guy but, he is kinda cute. He's kind of my type too. But I barely know who he is.. Also... I still haven't gotten over the fact that I was rejected by Tomoe.. WHAT SHOULD I DO?! MY MIND IS STILL MATURING!
"Oi." *startled*
" What Tomoe? Do you need anything from me?" I responded awkwardly.
"Who was that boy you were talking to? It seemed like the atmosphere was very loving and gushy. Like if I poked one of you, you guys would melt."
"Oh it was nothing. He was just asking me if I could tutor him in history. Nothing big." I have to lie! Or Tomoe will know that I was confessed to!
"Pshh! Tutoring from you? I think he's going to drop down IQ points after a lesson with you."
"No! I am actually pretty good in HIstory! I have a B+ in the class! Impressive, huh?!"
"I bet it's your only B+ you've ever gotten.."
"You know what?! It has nothing to do with you! I don't need you to comment on everything I do. You're such an IDIOT!" *walk away*
What's wrong with him?! Does he need to make fun of everything I do?! I don't even know why I even liked him! A jerk like him doesn't deserve someone as sparkly and pretty as me! Maybe I will go out with Ikkaku-san. He actually seems like a decent person! Tomoe doesn't even care about me! Making fun of me all the time!
I walked back to the classroom and slammed the door open. The class stared at me while i slowly moved toward my desk. My dark, gloomy aura was following me around and I could tell that people were slowly moving away from me. (putting head on desk)
Why can't Tomoe understand my feelings? After all the things we went through. He even dropped me from the roof of a building! Right now he's more stupid than that Kurama..
*door slides open; mist comes out from door*
"Hello my fellow classmates! The all amazing Kurama has arrived! Sorry to keep you waiting *wink*
Oh speak of the devil...
(walking over) "Nanami-chian! Don't frown so much! You're going to get wrinkles. You need to keep smiling if you want beautiful skin like me. *twinkle*
(vein pops) It's OK Nanami! Get a hold of yourself! FIGHT!
"If you get wrinkles, you'll never get a boyfriend. Unlike me! Girls are always drooling when they meet me!"
SNAP
"YOU CONCEITED LITTLE BASTARD! CAN'T YOU TELL I'M IN A BAD MOOD?! ARE YOU SO FULL OF YOURSELF THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE WHAT THE HELL IS IN FRONT OF YOU?! SO WHAT IF I GET ONE SINGLE FUCKIN WRINKLE! I'LL POUND YOUR FACE SO THAT YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A WRINKLE!"
(stepping back in fear) "O-Oi. Nanami. Are you okay?"
"LIKE HELL I'M OKAY! DO I SOUND OKAY?!"
"I'm sorry I angered you more..." he said while silently returning to his seat.
I took my book out and vigorously started reading. I've never been this angry in my life. It seemed like a volcano was erupting inside of me. All my anger towards Tomoe was being taken out at other people. Especially Kurama. He was just trying to joke around and I gave him a yelling at.
I tapped his desk.
"Uhh Kurama.. I'm sorry I shouted at you. I'm just really angry at Tomoe right now. He's just being an idiot right now. You didn't do anything wrong.." I turned and looked at him with my sincere puppy dog eyes.
"I-It's okay.. It just shocked me a bit. I never knew that someone as kind as yu could have a bad side. But if the cause was that stupid fox then it's understandable."
"Yeah. Thanks I just need to forget about it. I gotta clear my head!"
"That's the spirit! Do you want to meet up after school and go into town? I'm free today." he insisted.
"Yeah! It's gonna help me clear up! Tomoe is gone during the afternoon too! Yeah I'll meet up with you! Let's have some fun!"
I made plans with Kurama to spend the afternoon with him and clear up my head but...
I never suspected that so many girls would be lining up to meet him...
kyaaa! Kurama senpai! Autograph please! Photo please!
~A FEW MINUTES AGO~
I actually ended up waiting for him...I did yell at him for no reason so I do have to make up for it.
"Ok Nanami-chan. I'm all ready."
"Ok let's get going. There's a really yummy cafe that I want to visit."
"K! Let's go there first."
(in the cafe)
"It seems like it's pretty empty. We can find a seat easily. Here, let's go sit next to a window." I said while slowly striding to the empty seats.
*whispers: Isn't that Kurama Shinjirou?
THE Kurama Shinjirou?! The real thing?
Yeah! Look!
OMG! It really is!*
~PRESENT TIME~
And that's how it went so far...
I calmly enjoyed my milk-lemon tea while girls squealed and crowded around the person in front of me. I forgot that I was actually with him until I heard little whispers..
*whispers: Who's that girls?
Not his girlfriend right?!
Girlfriend?! Serious?!
Yeah! She's pretty cute.
That's not fair!
What's wrong with these girls? Girlfriend? Hell no. Who would want to date a guy like him? Well actually a lot of girls would love to date him.. Even marry him..
"Uhh Kurama-senpai? Who is this girl?" a girl finally asked.
"Oh her? She's my friend. She's having some boy trouble so I'm helping her loosen up a bit and forget about the guy."
Uhh thanks for that suckie introduction! Well it's not like I cared about anything the girls said but, I'm sure that I heard a few sighs of relief.
"As you can see ladies, I'm busy right now so could you please excuse us? I promise to see you all later on week."
"Aww.. Ok senpai! We'll see you soon. Have fun on your little d-date."
They all walked back together and some of them gave me a few dirty looks..
"So I see that you are very popular with girls. Do you never get tired of them?" It must be annoying to be surrounded by big crowds like that all the time.
"No. It's okay after you get used to it a little. Why? Are you jealous Nanami-chan?"
"In your dreams! I'll be jealous of your little fan girls when unicorns are found."
Kurama and I spent the rest of the day together. We ate a bunch of food and matched a movie. It was really fun and he helped me clear up my thoughts with Tomoe and Ikkaku and such.
"Thanks Kurama. You really helped me today. We should do this again sometimes. And thanks for the ride home."
"No problem. And we should really do this again!"
After those last words we had gone back to our normal lives.
"I'm home!" I said while greeting Kotetsu and Onikiri
"Welcome home Nanami-sama. We were very worried about you! Why didn't you contact us?! Tomoe-sama was worried as well."
"Gomen gomen. I was caught up with all the fun things I was doing with Kurama-san. And I don't care about what Tomoe ."
"(sigh) Okay. Have you eaten dinner already? It's all set up in the kitchen."
"No. I had dinner already. I'm just going to wash up then sleep, OK?"
"Ok Nanami-sama. Good night."
My day ended like that. I was still angry with Tomoe, a boy had confessed to me, and I had fun with Kurama... Today was a very stressful day.
