Title: The Real Side (Chapter 2: Stop following me!)

Author: Khatzdaax3

Summary: To realise that their character on the outside is maybe just a mask to cover up the real side of them.


I hurried my steps as I sensed the person behind me getting nearer. I was freaking out as a thousand questions skimmed through my mind. Didn't I apologize to him already? Two days straight and he is still following me? Is he still angry with me? But I should be the one angry with him right? Urgh! Unable to answer any of the questions, I stopped in my tracks abruptly. He seemed to stop too but I was too afraid to turn back.

Okay just a quick introduction. Hi! I'm Miyu Kouzuki, 19 and studying in Heiomachi High. An overly enthusiastic girl I must say. I can't go through much detail as I am currently stuck in this very nerve-wrecking situation. Let me explain. The guy behind me; his name is Kanata Saionji. But he is not just any Kanata Saionji, he is "The Kanata Saionji", known as the notorious gangster with no fear. He doesn't talk to anyone but I'll tell you it's not a pretty sight when he fights. Pretty much it has always been the person who picks a fight with him who is left with a bloodied nose in the end. Quoting the teachers he is basically a person whose parents have never thought him any good manners. An emo dude I would say.

And I am really really very very afraid of him.

So why is he following me you ask? I'm pretty sure it's because of the incident where I accidentally bumped in to him while walking along the corridors three days ago. The orange juice I was holding in my hand splashed in his shirt, face and hair. I gulped as I stared at the person in front of me horrified. Everyone who was walking along the corridor had stopped and stared at the commotion I had started. They knew I was in big trouble.

Why him? I asked in my mind as he slowly looked down at his shirt that was now light orange due to the juice. He is going to scream at me (the only thing that I could come up with at that time) was the thought I had in my mind as I saw him facing back up with a look I couldn't really comprehend at that moment.

"Sorry" I afforded faintly as I was really terrified. My knees had gone weak. My eyes followed the direction of his hand as he raised it slowly. Unknowingly, I clenched my fists, my fingernails painfully piercing my skin. And then it happened so quickly but in seconds I felt my cheek sting with pain. The sound was loud enough to make everyone gasp.

It took me a moment to register that he had slapped me. He slapped me. Not even my parents had slapped me before. Not long after, tears that I tried hard to control started to fall. Stupid tears. The fact that this jerk, a person whom I don't even know slapped me in front of everyone kept running in my mind. Talk about being embarrassed. It felt like eternity but i finally got back my attention. I looked at him enraged with the tears and all.

"I already told you I'm sorry!" I screamed as loud as I can before he could walk away. I knew I would have looked like an idiot crying and screaming at the same time so I ran off from the place deeply humiliated.

It was really uncomfortable this past two days at school because everyone was whispering things to themselves while i walked past. I just ignored it. I also decided to take this new secluded route home the next day because the normal route I took had many students going by that way. Ever since that incident everyone has been giving me weird stares which added to my hurt and embarrassment. And for two days in a row "The Kanata Saionji" had been taking the same route as me. At first I thought he wasn't following me but he seemed to stop when I stopped and moved when I moved so I came to a conclusion that he was following me. And the feeling of having someone following me like a stalker was terrifying.

"Why are you following me?" I mustered up courage and turned managing to croak out these words. I don't know whether he heard it as he looked at me but he never replied. We did have a reasonable distance between us so thinking that he couldn't hear me I repeated the question a little louder this time. He still didn't answer. My patience wore out.

"I already apologised to you so please stop following me" I was a nervous wreck but I was surprised by myself as I still could manage to say it loudly and as calmly as possible before turning and running as fast as I could without looking back. I ran till i reached the familiar gates of my house. Panting, I finally decided to look back. He was not there. No words could describe how relieved I was as I went inside my house locking the gates securely, fearing that he might pop out of nowhere.

About ten minutes or so, he walked past her house going right past it. He turned his head back looking at the house as his mouth twitched in to a tiny smile thinking about what happened just now. But the smile didn't last long any longer as he walked back home as slowly as possible.


*Hides in embarrassment* This was meant to be published earlier but my laptop decided to fail and I had to send it for servicing for two weeks + I was held up with school projects. I'm really sorry! :(

I'm sorry if this chapter is a bit dry as this is meant to be a form of introduction for the two main characters. I'll come back with a better chapter!

Okay all of you deserve to throw tomatoes and rotten eggs at me! *comes out of hiding place*

Anyway one question why do you think Kanata is following Miyu? Please tell me what do you think will happen in the next chapter? I just want to know hehe! ~^^~
