"Hey"I bark. I drop my tray. She marches off. I follow after her.
"What's up Mila? You were so supportive of us from the beginning" I yelled. She turned around.
"Well I change my mind. You do it all the time so why can't I? Stop following me!"She spat. I crossed my arms.
"It's not like you to behave like this" I continue. She snorts.
"I think this is all wrong" She admits. I raised my eyebrow.
"Oh so how did you picture it? As far as I'm concern I deserve her. She's the best thing that's ever happen to me" I acknowledge.
"What about me?"She yelled through tears. I choke.
"I mean us?"She hastily replied. She realizes her error in admitting her secret crush. She came clean.
"I only supported you because I like you but I never imagine you would wind up with her" She admits. I listen.
"Even more so after the time you stood up for me when I brawl with Apacci. You deleted those graphic pictures from Keigo"She spoke. I listen.
"Why did you do that if you didn't feel something for me?"She asked.
"I like you as a friend" I explained.
"That's it?"She asked crush.
"Yes" I replied. I decided to continue on my explanation.
"I see you as equals to Sung Sun and Apacci"I broke down our relationship. She only cried.
"Then I was wrong? Dear god I was so stupid. I can't believe I let you treat me like that" she turns away. Before I could speak she dashed off. I watch as she sped away. I wasn't sure where we stood now. Apacci and Sung Sun appeared with Orihime. They looked at me. I sigh.
"I don't know what to do. She said she like me. Like actually like" I explained. Orihime shook her head.
"Poor Mila she's had bad luck with boys" She sympathizes.
"She'll come around" Sung Sun spoke softly. Apacci gazes after her. I rubbed my face.
"Should ya go after her?"I asked. They glance at me.
"Probably"Apacci admits. They trek after their fallen comrade. I stood with Orihime. She comforts me. I gaze down.
"It's ok Harribel"She soothes.
We went back to the cafeteria. All day I thought of Mila Rose. I felt like it was my fault somehow. I lower my head down.
"Harribel are you sick?"Mr. Hachigen asked out loud. I nod. I was sent to nurse Retsu.
I arrived on site. I spot a weepy wavy brown hair girl. I recognize her as Mila. She spots me. She turned away from me. Retsu frowns at me.
"What do you want?"She demanded. I look hurt from her sudden boldness.
"I don't feel well" I lied. She strolls over. She touches my forehead. I watch her face. She sighs.
"Very well then" She leads me away from Mila. I took the available bed. I lied on my back. She disappears. I listen to Mila's soft cries. Retsu could be heard speaking to her. A phone rang. Retsu walks over. I perk my ear.
"Hello?"Retsu answered. I knew she was a good distance from her. I slipped out of my bed. I made my way to Mila. She was curled up on her bed.
"Hey it's me Harribel"I whispered.
"What…do….you….want?"She sobbed in between words.
"A moment of your time" I answered.
"You already had my time" She hissed distraught. I was still determine to help her. I took the seat on the edge. I kept my back to her.
"Look Mila perhaps I was at fault for treating you special but you have to understand that I'm committed to Orihime. If she were to leave me and I repeat she then I would love to go out with you but that's not the case "I soothe her.
