The school nurse checked Rito condition, but found nothing. "Well you seem to be stable Rito. "No problem had been detected in your health. So you're perfectly fine." Dr. Ryoko Mikado analyzed. She examined Rito.
"I see…" Rito replied still feeling upset.
"Mikado Sensei. Have you ever got rejected by the one you love, but no matter what you couldn't stop thinking about him even if you tried?" Rito asked as he continued to have his head down.
"For me it was quite the other way around my dear Rito. I never found anyone I actually liked overall." Mikado replied happily.
"I see… sorry to had wasted you time then." Rito replied leaving the nurses office. Mikado saw Rito leave conserved with his question.
Rito continued to stare into space while class was over as he had his head down. "Rito Kun, I created a new invention to help you out with your problems." Lala announced. She handed Rito her device. "No thanks Lala. I don't feel like it right now." Rito replied.
"Come on. Just try it. It's perfectly fine." Lala fought.
"I said I don't want to." Rito shot back.
"Just give it try. I know it'll work." Lala continued to fight.
"Like most of your other weird inventions." Rito said.
"That's mean, my inventions are unique." Lala said.
"Whatever. Satisfy me if you can bring me something that doesn't get me into trouble? Rito ended in sarcastic leaving the classroom. "Humph, you're no fun." Lala complained as she sticks her tongue out behind Rito back.
"Rito kun…" Haruna voiced echoed inside Rito head. Rito tried so hard to shake the feeling of Haruna inside his little head as Kotegawa found herself staring at Rito from a distance. "Is there trouble in paradise again Lala?" Risa teased. "Rito doesn't seem like himself lately." Lala replied. "Why don't you try some different tactics that will really get him surprised?" Risa suggested. She gave Lala a love book.
Rito wondered the halls still upset, as Lala surprised him hugging him from behind and rubbing her chest on his back. Rito was frozen in place after that tactic as his face was beep red. "Lala I'm not in the…" Rito tried to break free.
"Stop right there at once!" Kotegawa demanded. "We are on school grounds and I will not allow such shameless acts to go on between you two, especially you Lala. Yuuki Rito such acts committed by you is completely unacceptable. Guess a senseless pervert like you." Kotegawa lectured.
Rito broke out of Lala grasp upset with Kotegawa words. Rito gritted his teeth. That had Kotegawa surprised. "I don't need to take this from a strict girl who doesn't understand people's feelings!" Rito shouted.
Angered Rito left the school without second thoughts of what he said. Kotegawa was surprised on his hurtful outburst. "Rito wait a sec." Lala tried to stop him.
Rito walked all the way home from school as Lala tried to catch up with him. "Rito wait for me…" Lala shouted. Rito continued to walk ignoring Lala as he had so much on his young mind. He felt very stress as he placed his hand over his forehead. "Ugh… what's wrong with me?" he stressed. Lala still pursued Rito as she stood worried about him.
"Welcome back…" Mikan welcomed. Rito and Lala arrived at the front door. "Yeah I'm back." Rito replied as he still had his head down.
"Hey Mikan I'll pass on dinner okay."
Rito left to his room as Lala and the girls looked at Rito wondering with was going on with him. "What in the world has gotten into him? It's not like him to miss dinner a second time." Mikan wondered. "He does seem very different." Lala replied.
Rito threw his book bag to the floor, and lied down in his bed trying to ease his painful stress. He found himself still thinking about Haruna despite the painful rejection. He begin toss and turn trying getting off rid Haruna out of his mind. A knock came at his door as Lala barged in happily.
"Hello Rito-kun…I got my latest invention that will work wonders on your personality!" she greeted.
"Work wonders on my personality. Are you kidding me? You can't just change somebody's altitude like that." Rito shot back.
"Oh guess I wasn't thinking straight. Oh…I'm so stupid." Lala pounded on her head a couple times. Rito stared at Lala with sorrow. He felt ashamed for actions as kneed his head down.
Rito stopped Lala from pounding her head even more by grabbing one of her arms. "Forget about Lala…you're not the one at fault…I am." Rito corrected as he turned his back at Lala.
"If you really want to know then I'll tell you."
"Two days ago…at the park the other day I was with Haruna and I finally confessed my feelings to her. It was the happiest day of my life, but unfortunately I was rejected. It turns out that Haruna already had a different love interest at the time, and it definitely wasn't me. Ha, what the hell was I thinking?" Rito explained.
Lala was at a loss for words after hearing Rito story. Rito still had his back turned from Lala as he tried to hide his true sadness. "In the end I become nothing more than her toy." Rito hissed. Rito then fell to his bed still in deep thought about his never had relationship with Haruna. No matter how hard he tried to hide his sadness Lala could still see he was hurt.
"Rito can you at least tell me what happen, you…haven't been yourself lately and I've been very worried about you. It just seems like you're not the Rito I liked before." Lala commented. After Rito heard Lala statement he then got out of bed.
"All right then…you want to hear the real truth then I'll tell you." Rito gave in. Rito took a deep breath as he was about told her the whole story. "Yesterday I finally confess to Haruna, but unfortunately…I was dumped. I was rejected by her completely. Seems like she already had someone that liked her in the past, and that someone beat me to it I was like her plaything for the time being. Now I feel like after all these years of pursuing Haruna is now down the freaking drain." Rito explained. Lala held her head down at a loss for words of what to say.
"I need to get some rest Lala okay." Rito said as she left the room. Lala then rushed back into the room and tried to comfort Rito pain. "It's okay." Lala whispered. Rito depression started to drift away only by little.
The next day as Rito wondered the hallway still having his head he ran into Kotegawa carrying a lot of books knocking them down. "Oh I'm sorry I had…Kotegawa." Rito said as he noticed her. "Yuuki Rito…" she replied.
"Sorry let me help you with that." Rito offered as he carried a set of books. "Uh thanks…" Kotegawa replied carrying a set of books. The two walked through the hall as Kotegawa was blushing around Rito. "Why is he doing this?" she wondered. Kotegawa looked at Rito face and it was not a happy one which got her very concern.
The two went to organize books in the library as they were still dead quiet. "By the way I'm sorry…for yesterday for…shouting at you the other day that were very unlike me." Rito said which got her attention. Rito said. "Oh I'm sorry too…for those insensitive harsh words I said." Kotegawa replied.
"You have been acting differently lately, is there something wrong?" Kotegawa asked concern for Rito. "No, never mind you don't have to answer that if you don't want to." She said. "I got my heart broken by someone and I couldn't get her out of my mind." Rito replied. "I'm sorry to hear that. I suppose it must be hard to get over someone you liked for a long time." Kotegawa replied. "Yeah and it still kinda hurts even till this day." He replied.
"I'm sorry I guess I got a little…" Kotegawa explained. "It's fine. Don't worry about it." Rito said still trying to bottle up his feelings. "Well this should take care of all these books." Rito finished on his side. "I'll be off now." Rito left.
Kotegawa was blushing as she held a conversation with Rito, but still couldn't help his blank motionless face.
"WOULD IT KILL YOU TO SMILE?" Kotegawa shouted. After what Kotegawa said Rito stopped at his track as he was blushing.
He then smiled at Kotegawa as he left. "Thanks Kotegawa." He said.
Sorry for the late update more will come on the way.
