Stuck in Love (Trapped in Love)
Ch.2 I'm not your Slave
The Next Morning
Rima, Yaya, and I are walking to our first period which we had together. I was explaining them my whole night; Rima had an idea of how bad it was because I did text her last night. I explain to them the scene at my work and then when I got back home what my dad had confessed to me. They too were in disbelief.
"Wow this is all crazy, Amu-chii," Yaya states with a shocked expression. "Not only is your papa thinking of getting re-married, but you're the new target of that attractive playboy that is Hoshina-sensei's grandson. Yaya wouldn't know what to do!"
"What does that Tsukiyomi jerk want with you anyways?" Rima questions out loud, wondering the exact same thing that I am. What does he want with me?
"I don't know, but those two things are not my only problems," I correct. "I lost my letting for Kukai-kun. Who knows what kind of person has it in their possession right now. Also, I have to figure out if I'm going to even bother with confessing to Kukai-kun anymore. I mean I really like the guy and I was finally able to build up all that courage!"
Rima looks at me. "I say go for it."
Yaya nods in agreement. "Yeah, Amu-chii. I really think things will fall in your favor."
I smile at them for helping my confidence. "Thank you, you two are great."
"And again, we know," Rima smirks.
We walk into our English class with our Nikaidou-sensei as our teacher. We watch as he piles up a stack of books just for them to collapse on the floor probably already for the third time this morning.
I take a seat in my desk which is in the middle of the classroom. Yaya takes the desk in front of me and Rima takes the desk to my left next to the window. I set my elbow on my desk and rest my chin in the palm of my hand, looking at Rima. "Should I do it today then, Rima?" I ask, referring to confessing to Kukai.
She looks at me and gently smiles. "Of course. And you know I am never wrong," she states with a wink.
Yaya turns around and looks at us, joining in the conversation. "That's true, Rima-chan is never wrong, Amu-chii. Listen to her."
We all three giggle until we hear the classroom door burst open, hitting the wall with a loud THUD. The whole class, including Nikaidou-sensei, turns their heads to the door where that blue-haired blue stood with his foot in the air.
'He freaking kicked the door open! What is this guy's problem?' I question in thought as I watch him lower his leg and turn his gaze to me. A sick smirk forms on his face and my eyes widen. 'Oh boy…'
"Um…excuse me….but you can't just…" Nikaidou-sensei starts but is cut off.
"Tsukiyomi Ikuto," is all was needed to be said for Nikaidou-sensei to close his mouth. Ikuto was looking at our teacher with a glare. "I'm here for one of your students."
"Uh…" Nikaidou-sensei looks around the room and then back at the boy in the doorway. He doesn't even protest; all he does is nod. Does this man have no spine?
Rima and Yaya look at me with wide eyes and we all know what is about to happen and who this jerk came for. I hear whispers from girls all around the room saying 'Tsukiyomi Ikuto-kun is so dreamy' and 'Oh I wish I was the lucky person he came for!' and I roll my eyes.
Ikuto walks into the class room and I see the two boys from yesterday behind him. The one with long purple hair sees me and smiles, waving. Really? What is up with these boys?
"Amu-chii, don't go with him," Yaya whispers, worry on her face.
"Duh," was my reply. I watch as Ikuto walk towards my desk, taking his sweet time. I hear girls gasp as he walks by them, I hear sighs of bliss and I hear them talk about how hot and sexy he is and I seriously feel sick to my stomach.
"Hinamori Amu," he says my name so seductive that all the girls turn pink in their faces, but when they realize the name he spoke, all eyes were on me. His smirk widened and I glare at him waiting for him to continue. "You're coming with me."
I shook my head. "I told you yesterday I wasn't playing this game of yours," I hiss, crossing my arms over my chest.
'Look at the Cool and Spicy Hinamori Amu' I hear many of my fellow students beam with delight. 'This is just like a television drama!' was some more comments people were making.
'Here they go again. Great, just because of this guy!' I was starting to get angry as he stared at me, smirk still on his face.
"You don't have a choice," he claims, walking once again, and this time it's a faster pace. A few seconds later he is at my next. "Now, come on."
I'm lifted out of my seat by him grabbing onto my collar and forcing me to stand. "Hey! Let go!" I shout, but he starts dragging me behind him, still holding onto my collar. I try to struggle and fight against it but there was no use, he was too strong and I didn't want my shirt to rip in half.
"Sensei do something!" Rima shouts standing to her feet. "He just can't take her out of class like that!"
"Mashiro-san…" Nikaidou starts before Ikuto once again cuts him off.
"I can do whatever I feel like doing, blondie. So sit back in your seat and I will return your sweet Amu later," Ikuto states as Rima starts to puff up with anger in her face. With that I am pulled out of the classroom and the door is shut behind me by one of his 'groupies'.
"Let me go you creep!" I shout, squirming some more trying to get out of his grasp.
He chuckles. "Hold still or I will throw you over my shoulder."
"You wouldn't dare," I hiss wiggling my shoulders so that he would release, but instead I am lifted up like a bag of potatoes and swung over his shoulder. "You baka!"
I try to kick but then realization hit me, my underwear was most likely showing thanks to the position I was in and I freeze. I place my hands on my bottom trying my best to keep my skirt down. "You jerk! This is cruel! Put me down!"
"Not just yet," he says chuckling.
His purple haired friend appears in front of me and waves. "Hi, Amu-chan. I'm Fujisaki Nagihiko, but you can call me Nagi!" he introduces himself, his golden eyes beaming with kindness. He points the green-haired boy behind him. "That's Sanjo Kairi-kun. We're pleased to meet you!"
I look at him with a confused look on my face. I was not happy to be all like 'oh yeah, nice to meet you too! Let's be great friends!'. Jeez what is with these boys? He laughs at my expression and I roll my eyes. "Yeah, nice to meet you too…" is all I say, kind of pouting. My life really sucks right now.
I see people in the hallways stop and look in our direction.
"That's Tsukiyomi Ikuto and Hinamori Amu! What are those two doing together?"
Oh great, more rumors. I look at the boy known as Nagihiko. "Where are we going?" I ask, sounding defeated, but of course I am only pretending.
"To class of course," he answers. "You're going to take notes for Ikuto-san. Don't worry Amu-chan, you'll be taken care of too, I promise."
"Hey Nagi," Ikuto starts. "Shut it."
Ikuto walks into a classroom and places me on my feet in front of him, his hands on my shoulders making sure I don't escape. The entire room, students and instructor, have their eyes on me. "She's taking my notes. Got it?"
The teacher scratches his head and sighs. "Welcome to the class Miss…"
I open my mouth but Ikuto puts his hand over it. "Don't worry about her name." I look up at him and he turns his attention to the class. "Everyone understand?"
I look at the class and everyone nods. Wow. He really has this school under his grasp. I can't believe I have never seen this before. Why does everyone listen to this annoying jerk? If everyone stopped listening and stood up to him he wouldn't be able to do anything! And that's exactly what I was going to plan to do, overthrow this punk! Show him what I am made of!
He starts pushing me forward and plops me down in a desk in the back, next to the window. He sits across from me, Nagi sits behind me, and that Kairi kid sits in front of me. I am cornered and because of this I sigh deeply. I don't think I will be getting out of this just yet.
Ikuto leans forward and says in my ear, "Do anything funny and I won't return something that belongs to you."
My eyes travel to him wondering what he was talking about. I see his smirk and my stomach turns. He couldn't mean?
"L.E.T.T.E.R." he spells out ending it with a wink and an evil chuckle.
I feel like the room just got a whole lot smaller and I start having a difficult time controlling my breathing as I become nervous. He has my confession letter for Kukai! I look at him my jaw dropping and look into his evil sapphire eyes. "You wouldn't?"
"Try me," he whispers and then he places his feet on top of MY desk and places his hands behind his head leaning back in his seat.
"Eh, Ikuto, who's the cutie?" I hear a boy with light green-blue spiky hair; he's wearing a white headband and a sporty outfit. Apparently these boys didn't care about uniform which had to mean he was one of Ikuto's followers.
"Daichi this is Amu, Amu this is Daichi," Ikuto introduces us, pointing to the boy then pointing to me; he does this with his eyes close. Is he seriously going to try and take a nap during class?
I nod my head. "Hi."
"Hinamori Amu? Like that spicy chick everyone is always talking about?" this boy named Daichi asks with a huge smile, for some reason he almost reminds me of Kukai.
"Yeah, that would be me," I say rolling my eyes.
"Hey you, stop talking and take out a notebook and take notes," Ikuto orders, apparently he moved positions because he was right in front of me giving me a look that made me want to go hide.
"Why can't you do your own notes?" I hiss at him, pushing him back so that he was closer to his desk. I hear a bunch of gasps.
"Because I have you to do it," he answers and he grabs my hand and places a pen in it. "Now get to work or else."
I sigh, and yes I give up, but only because I know this class will only last about fifty more minutes and then I will be free and when I am free I will get away from this creep and his weirdo friends! I open a notebook that was given to me by Nagi, click my pen, and turn to give Ikuto a huge fake smile. I had no idea that hour would drag on and that my hand would start hurting from all the notes. What is a sophomore doing in a senior class when she was clearly not prepared? Well all because this boy-haired playboy has the whole school wrapped around his fingers. Great.
00000000000000000000
The bell finally rings and I jump out my seat and dash for the door to escape, but sadly I feel someone grab onto the back of my shirt, stopping me from leaving. I slump and start pouting, this is wonderful. I turn around to see the villain who is preventing me from freedom and I see his eyes staring at me hard as he shakes his head. "Ikuto," I hiss.
"Now Amu, what makes you think you are done?" he questions with me shaking a finger at me as if I was in trouble. "Tisk, tisk."
I glare at him. "I'm done for the day so let me go! I have my own classes to attend you jerk!"
"You're mine now, you can't leave unless I allow you," he states making my stomach hurt. Was he serious? I really am done playing this game.
I smack his hand off myself and then I smack him with all my power on his cheek. "I'm not your slave! I'm a human being and I have feelings, you can't tell me what to do, and prevent me from doing things I want! I have freewill!" I shout and with that I run, and I run with everything I have to get out of that classroom because who knew what he would do to me for hitting him.
I look down at my tingling hand as I still run and I see that it is turning a shade of pink. I still could feel the after effects of that slap; I must have hit him hard. I turn a corner and start running down stairs. I could feel tears building up in my eyes. That jerk was going to expose my letter and I know Kukai would be so embarrassed by it that he will never want to talk to me again. My life freaking sucks!
I can feel peoples' eyes on me as I run, but they are all a blur. I hear whispers but I don't pay attention. I was going to get far away from Tsukiyomi Ikuto and this place.
"Amu-chan!"
"Amu-chii!"
I hear Rima and Yaya's voices but I don't stop I keep running, I run all the way through the courtyard, pass the soccer field, and all the way to a lone tree. I fall to my knees once I reach the tree and wipe my eyes.
I have to make that jerk pay for all the things he has already done! I just have to! But how do I do that? That was the only thing I couldn't think an answer for. "Why me?" I shout, and then I pound the ground with my feet. "Ugh you jerk!" I can seriously say I hate that playboy, and he's the first and only person I have ever hated. He has some serious problems, and he uses people, I mean what kind of person is he?
"You okay there, Hinamori?"
I freeze. I can't breathe, my body becomes numb, and my brain shuts down. I know that voice, but I am too afraid to look. I squeeze my eyes closed and pray and hope that he wasn't there and if he was, he would leave soon.
"Hinamori?"
My eyes open and I see Kukai bending down in front of me, his face not far from mine. I wipe my eyes double checking that my tears were gone, and then I blush. "Kukai-kun…" I grumble, embarrassed.
"Everything okay?" he asks and I can see concern in his eyes. "You looked really upset running through the school like a crazy person."
"You saw?" I ask, really embarrassed.
"I followed," he corrects. "I had to make sure you were okay."
"Thank you," I say bowing my head with gratitude. He was nicer than I thought, and honestly that makes me like him even more now.
He grins. "You don't have to thank me!"
I blush. He was so good looking and having him this close to me was really making me nervous. "Yeah I do."
He blinks at me. "Are you okay, you're a little red?" He places the palm of his hand on my forehead, checking my temperature.
My eyes widen and I know I blush more because I can feel the heat coming from my face. "Are you sick?" he asks, his hand still on my forehead.
"N-no…" I answer, he was too cute right now, and I was losing my focus. "Some jerk is messing with me, is all, and I'm kind of upset about it."
He narrows his eyes and a frown replaces his smile. "Who's messing with you?"
"Tsukiyomi Ikuto," I grumble, frowning as well.
"Aaahhh….that guy," is all Kukai says before he scratches his chin. "Do you want me to talk to him?"
I look at him in complete shock. Was he going to defend me? No way! Ikuto would have him beat up or worse, kicked off the soccer team or something and soccer was Kukai's life. There was no way I was going to let him be ruined by that jerk. I shake my head. "No thanks, I have it under control," I lie, basically whispering.
And then there was silence and then it hit me. This was the perfect time for me to confess. I look at Kukai and he is still looking at me, I can't read the emotion on his face. I become nervous again and I start to blush. I know I have to tell him my feelings because who knows when I will be able to otherwise, especially with Ikuto around.
I open my mouth to speak but he talks before I can say anything.
"You know, you're really pretty," he states, his traditional grin on his face once again.
I know that comment made me turned completely red in the face. "T-thanks," I stutter looking down at my hands. I look back at him. "K-Kukai-kun I…"
His head tilts to the side as he waits for me to finish my sentence. My thoughts freeze, I have no idea where to start or how I should say what I'm about to say, so I decide to 'go with the flow' and hope for the best.
"Yesterday, when I lost that letter," I start, liking where I was heading. "That letter wasn't from my grandma. It was actually a letter I wanted to give to you." I look down and take a deep breath. That little part took a lot out of me. I can feel myself starting to sweat. Curse my nerves!
He looks at me a little confused. "A letter for me?"
I nod. "Y-you s-see," I pause and take another deep breath; I was seriously tired of stuttering. So I sucked in all my courage and went for it. "I wanted to tell you my feelings."
His eyes widened and I believe he finally is on the same page as me.
"Souma Kukai-kun," I say his name with a small smile. "I've liked you for a long time. I hope you accept my feelings."
His eyes widen even more and his cheeks turn pink and I couldn't help but giggle, forgetting my fears about being rejected.
"Wow…I'm in shock," Kukai finally says, running his fingers through his hair still blushing.
"Sorry about that," I exclaim, blushing myself, twirling my hair with my fingers. I am honestly waiting for him to tell me how he might feel or if he's going to accept or reject my feelings.
"Who knew Hinamori Amu, would like me?" He says, still sounding in shock and I start to wonder what he meant by that. "This is so unreal."
"Kukai-kun…" I start to say and once again I stop because he starts talking.
"I like you too!" he states, turning red in his face. My heart stops as those words leave his mouth, and my hair moves with the breeze. He pulls me to him and wraps his arms around me into a tight hug. The guy I have a crush on likes me too. This is the moment every girl wishes for.
