Disclaimer: I don't know the characters (most of them) and a big part of the plot is based on a tv series I've seen. I'm terribly sorry I can't remember the name! But it wasn't a yuri (unfortunately).
I got a few messages from people wanting to know what Premeditation means (has nothing to do with meditation!) so let me explain, Premeditation is another word for 'plotting something in advance'. Such a arranging things or the act of speculation.
Once again, most characters are out of characters (especially Mizuno Ami).
Premeditation
Chapter two
- Doubt -
''That's Tenoh Haruka''
The words kept echoing in Usagi's head while she watched the blonde boy carefully. Sure she had thought there was something familiar about him when she pointed him out but she thought it was because he was attractive. She narrowed her eyes. The blonde guy had the exact same color of hair as the Haruka she knew from her past and if she looked closely she could even say his eyes were just as green as well. Everything about that boy reminded her of the Haruka she once knew. But there was only one difference. This person was a guy.
Unless...
''No way!'' Usagi finally let out and turned back to face Ami who was looking at her with a questioning look on her face. ''When exactly did that guy transfer here?''
The blue haired girl seemed to think about it for a moment before she finally admitted that she wasn't sure since she hadn't been attending this school that long either. Usagi just nodded and made up an excuse to leave. She wanted to talk to Haruka immidiately. She still had some doubts about this blonde guy actually being the person she thought 'he' was. And the fear of Haruka having heard those rumors about her weren't making things easier either.
She simply took babysteps into Haruka's direction. It felt like everything and everyone was moving in slow motion. She almost felt dizzy from anticipation. Usagi could still feel Ami's eyes in her back. Ami was probably wondering why Usagi was in such a rush to leave her.
Finally after what seemed forever Usagi had reached Haruka and the aqua haired girl. ''Uhm, excuse me,'' She paused for a moment, fearing she'd been wrong and was just talking to some guy she'd never met before. ''My name is...''
''Tsukino Usagi, is that you?'' Suddenly an all-too familiar voice sounded causing Usagi to blush and look up. Now that she was standing closer to the 'boy' she could clearly see she'd been mistaken before. It was the Tenoh Haruka she knew. ''What are you doing here?'' Haruka's voice was full of enthusiasm. She wwas obviously happy to see the smaller blonde girl.
''So it is you!'' Usagi squealed happily. ''You look so different!'' She quickly threw herself in the taller girl's arms and hugged her closely, causing a lot of people to look up and wonder why she was hugging Tenoh Haruka all of a sudden. Especially Ami couldn't help but wonder if Tenoh Haruka was really the girl Usagi had mentioned earlier.
Much to her delight Haruka returned her hug and placed a small kiss on the smaller girl's forehead. ''It's good to see you again, little one.'' After a few seconds she pulled back though and blushed slightly. It hadn't been until now Usagi also realized the aqua haired girl had just been standing there, oblivious to what was going on. ''Ah, Im terribly sorry for not introducing you two first,'' Haruka put an arm around the aqua haired beauty next to her. ''This is Kaioh Michiru, my girlfriend. Michi, this is Tsukino Usagi. We just to play together a lot when we were little. We practically grew up together.'' Haruka was obviously proud.
''It's nice to meet you, Usagi.'' Michiru made a small bow and smiled politely.
''Same here.'' Usagi whispered and quickly copied Michiru's bow. When she straightened again to face the two girls it suddenly hit her. 'Wait, did Haruka just call that girl her girlfriend?'
In all her curiousity she pulled on Haruka's hand, pulling the taller girl down so she could whisper in her ear. ''Does Michiru know you are a girl?''
She noticed how Haruka pulled back and eyed Usagi carefully, as if she wasn't sure how to respond. ''Ofcourse she knows. It would be bad if she didn't,'' The blonde tomboy put a hand through her hair as her smile disappeared from her face. All of a sudden she didn't seem happy to see the smaller girl anymore. ''You don't have a problem with it, do you?''
''Huh?'' Usagi blinked a couple of times. She hadn't really been focussed on listening to Haruka's question. She'd been too shocked by the look Haruka was giving her. She probably thought Usagi was disgusted or something. ''Of course not! I'm really happy for you.''
Not only Haruka's eyes softened but Michiru's as well. It seemed both had been nervous for Usagi's reaction. ''Of course not.'' Usagi repeated and smiled. She really wanted to talk to Haruka about what she had missed in her life. She wanted to tell her about those bullies and about Mamoru. But she felt kind of awkward doing so with Michiru there. She didn't want Michiru to feel left out in the conversation.
As if reading her mind Haruka placed a hand on the smaller blonde's shoulder. ''Why don't we catch up this saturday. Michiru's visiting her parents then and I'm free from work. What about it?''
''It's a date!'' Usagi nodded her head a couple of times in excitement before blushing heavily. ''Not a date like in a date! But I mean...''
''I got it.'' Michiru said with a smile, obviously getting what Usagi was getting at.
The next day came quickly. Last night Usagi had told her mother about Haruka and how she had changed. She didn't tell Ikuko about Michiru though. She didn't know how her mother would react. And usually her mother, sweet as she was, would tell her dad everything. Not like he was a bad guy but she was raised by very religious people.
She wasn't going to worry about it or worry them unnecessary. Today was friday so that meant only two days before it would be sunday and she could chat with Haruka. Ami had been a great friend but that was different from Haruka. Usagi wasn't familiar with Ami and what kind of things she could or couldn't tell the girl. When Usagi stepped into the classroom everything got quiet immidiately and all heads turned to face her, looking at her with either angry, nervous or questioning faces.
''What?'' Usagi managed to ask. She already started to wonder if Sae had done something to get to her again.
A girl Usagi hadn't seen before just pointed at the blackboard. The small blonde followed it to the place it was pointing at. She went wide eyed. Usagi even had to read the words over and over to be sure she wasn't imagining things.
Tsukino Usagi loves Tenoh Haruka
That's what was written with big letters on the blackboard, accompanied by a couple of hearts. A lot of thoughts went through Usagi's head at that point. Sae? Maybe Kaioh Michiru got jealous. Who could've done this? But instead of focussing on wiping away the words or thinking about it Usagi did what she usually did in these kinds of situations. She turned around and ran out of the classroom.
''That was mean,'' Ami said and quickly got up from her seat, taking the eraser from Setsuna's desk and cleaning the blackboard of the words. ''People shouldn't write this stuff about each other. It's not true. Usagi doesn't even know Haruka.''
''That's not true!'' A black haired girl named Misao said, slightly blushing. ''I saw Usagi hug Haruka yesterday. Everyone saw it.''
''That's true,'' The blue haired girl nodded and stared down at the floor beneath her feet. ''Everyone saw it and everyone could've written this. But we shouldn't be jumping to conclusions like this. No one gave Usagi time to explain. I hope that whoever wrote this won't do it again.'' Ami's words apparently had left a big impression on the other students because it got quiet the moment she had spoken her last words.
''Ami is being too nice,'' Sae muttered as she watched the blue haired girl walk out of the classroom as well to follow Usagi. ''She shouldn't protect that boyfriend stealing bitch.'' A few other girls nodded in agreement but no one dared to say something else after that. They didn't have the chance anyway, Setsuna walked a few moments later looking rather annoyed.
Usagi couldn't stop the tears from falling down. What had she ever done to deserve this. She hated this place! This morning she'd been so happy about seeing Haruka again and the next moment someone had to ruin it. If Haruka hadn't heard the rumors about Usagi before she would surely hear about this. Maybe Michiru had written it down on the blackboard because she was jealous. Then again, she didn't really strike Usagi as the jealous nor vindictive type.
''Hey you,'' Suddenly a familiar voice sounded. For a moment Usagi feared it would be Sae and her annoying little friends but she was glad to see Rei when she turned around. ''You crying again?''
The blonde girl blushed. This had been the second time Rei had caught her crying. It was embarrassing. ''Did you little princess clock break or something?''
''Very funny,'' Usagi snickered. ''Are you stalking me or something, just to make sure you catch me at a bad time?''
The raven haired girl giggled and put her hands on her hips. ''Yes, you caught me. I live just to follow you and tease you. God made me for just that reason only.'' She rolled her eyes. ''So,'' She lowered her hands. ''What happened?''
''Nothing.''
''Is it about the whole Haruka loves Usagi thing?'' Rei raised an eyebrow, obviously amused by the shocked look on Usagi's face. ''Everyone knows. If you got up early in the morning and get to school in time you could've prevented this.''
''Like this was my fault.''
The raven haired girl shrugged. ''Don't worry too much about it. If you cry about every little thing you'll end up in a mental hospital. Running away crying like a little baby only makes you suspicious. Now people think they figured you out. If you laughed it off no one would've taken it seriously.''
The blonde sighed. She knew Rei was right but for some reason Usagi couldn't help it but actually feel guilty about hugging Haruka. She felt like she was cheating on Mamoru. Not only that but she wasn't used to all this negative attention she was getting. She would eventually have to tell her parents if this continued. Or atleast Meioh Setsuna.
''People will be nicer eventually, right?'' Usagi asked. She wasn't really expecting an answer. ''Just like Ami.''
''Mizuno Ami?'' Rei's voice sounded alarmed all of a sudden.
''Yes, my only friends it seems?''
Rei seemed uncomfortable and shrugged. ''Maybe she wrote it.''
''Why would you think that?''
''Nah nothing. Forget about it, meatball.''
Immediately the whole mood changed. ''Stop calling me meatball! I don't even like meatballs!''
''I'm refering to your hair.'' Rei said and poked one of Usagi's buns with her index.
Usagi quickly put a few steps back. ''Don't touch my hair! It takes forever to get them in two equally round buns.'' She put her hands on top of her head as if to shield herself from the rain.
''You're really weird,'' Rei couldn't help it but smile. ''Why don't you considering dating me?''
Usagi lowered her hands and just stared at the raven haired girl with a dumb look on her face, wondering if she had mistaken the other girl's words. It wasn't possible that Rei actually asked her to date her. First of all, Rei had been nothing but mean to her ever since they met. Rei was a girl. Usagi was a girl. They barely knew each other. ''W-what?''
The other girl repeated her question as if it were the most common thing to ask. ''Be my girlfriend.''
To Be Continued
Quick update, ne?
Anyway, thanks a lot for reading and your great reviews. They really encourage me to continue this story. I didn't really intend for Rei to find Usagi but they only talked once in the first upload of this story. They needed some more quality time. I'm actually happy with this chapter. Next one will be up soon!
