I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING
Shh…It's a Secret
Afterschool a group of boys were playing with a soccer ball on their way home. They were walking on a sidewalk that is built along the side of an all girls school. The bars of the gate of the school have separated the school and the sidewalk.
"Kukai-senpai pass the ball to me" A boy with dark brown hair and brown eyes called out. He doesn't look really old, about the age of 16.
"Fuyuki! Try to catch my super lightning kick!" A boy with red brown hair and green eyes responded to the boy with dark brown hair. The boy with red brown hair looks slightly older than the boy with dark brown hair.
Somehow the super lightning kick from the red brown hair boy have made caused the soccer ball to fly into the air and made its way over the gate.
"Uh-oh" The 2 boys said together.
Bam! The ball suddenly landed on a little small short girl with blonde hair, obviously it's Rima. She was lost in the school again. Rima have enrolled into this all girls school for about a week already, but the school is so big that she still can't remember the way to her dorm.
"Ouch." Rima said with a really soft voice as she started to rub the tip of her head. She looked around and saw a soccer ball. Then she raised her head and saw 2 boys on the other side of the gate.
"Umm… sorry!" The red brown hair boy bowed as in apology.
"Sorry… but can you pass the ball?" The boy with dark brown hair asked. He saw this emotionless girl, and he was really afraid that she'll have a sudden rage or something.
Rima noticed the boy with dark brown hair is scared by her emotionless face. Well, what can she do? She's born with this face and she doesn't dare to smile. Still, Rima isn't a bad hearted person so she decided to give it a try. Her facial muscles along her cheeks were trying to cooperate with the nerves. Rima slowly raised the muscles near her cheeks and raise both of her eye brows. Actually Rima imagined her like she have some facial muscle problems, but really she has a really cute smile. The smile made the dark brown hair boy blush. Rima later picked the soccer ball up and threw it as high as possible. The ball made its way over the gate. Not to mention but the boy with dark brown hair was stunned by that smile and he was frozen in his position. This later caused the soccer ball to land on the boy with red brown hair, who was still bowing for apology.
"Ouch!" The red brown hair boy shouted. As he raised his head and saw his friend stunned with a blushing face.
"So cute…" The boy with dark brown hair murmured.
"What? Fuyuki, you okay?" The boy with red brown hair asked as he placed his ears closer to the boy with dark brown hair.
"so cute…" The dark brown hair boy repeated.
"Cute? Who?" The boy with red brown was searching for the girl with long blonde curly hair.
Rima have already walked away, since she doesn't want to start any conversation with these 2 boys. She thought after returning the ball and walk away, then everything will be over. Sorry Rima, but you're wrong…
After about 3 days…. (It's a Friday)
"Ahh~ Finally it's Friday~" Amu said while she was stretching her own arms.
"Any plans over the weekend?" Nadeshiko asked Amu with a smile. (Starting from this chapter, when Nagihiko is in Nadeshiko-mode I'll address him as Nadeshiko. When he's in Nagihiko mode he's addressed as Nagihiko.)
"Well…Not really…" Amu said with a blush.
"How about Mashiro-san?" Nadeshiko asked as he took a look at Rima.
"I want to walk around the campus.." Rima said and in her mind she thought So I won't get lost anymore.
The three girls or maybe you should say the two girls and one boy walked down the hallway. They began to walk through the 3rd year or senior section.
"I don't get it; we are the youngest out of the whole high school. Still we have to climb the most stairs. (First year- 4th floor; Second year- 3rd floor; Third year- 2nd floor; Science labs and home economics classrooms-1st floor.) How I wish I can become a 3rd year and have my classes on the second floor." Amu complained as she took a look at Nadeshiko and Rima.
"Well, time passes really soon. Especially happy times" Nadeshiko said as reply.
Time is moving in turtle speed when I'm with you! Rima raged in her mind
"Ah! Utau!" Amu said as she pointed at a girl with long straight blonde hair that are tied in 2 high pigtails.
"What do you want?" Utau said with a cold but cool voice. Just like always.
"Well, I'm just saying "hi".." Amu said as she took a look at Utau with her honey colored eyes.
"Oh, wait… Amu my brother told me to give this to you.." Utau's hand went into her own pockets and was searching for something.
Rima looked puzzled…. Amu knows Utau's brother? Was what she was thinking. Nadeshiko figured out what Rima was thinking so she bent down and whispered to Rima.
"Ikuto-sensei and Hoshina-san are siblings. Oh yeah and I guess you have found out whose Amu's secret lover…" Nadeshiko whispered to Rima.
"Oh… What? Wait…" Rima said as she recalled the familiar feeling Utau gave her. Now things all make sense.
Now let's turn back to Amu and Utau. Amu received a note from Ikuto. Here is how the note goes….
Amu it's a going to be a nice day on Saturday.
Ikuto
What a simple note… Still, Amu understood what Ikuto meant. This note is actually an invitation to go on a date. Amu nodded and kept the note in her pocket.
"Then I'll be going." Utau said as she turned around and was ready to head down the stairs.
"Why in such a hurry Hoshina-san" Nadeshiko asked.
"Today is my weekly ramen challenge with Souma Kukai." Utau said with fire burning eyes. She lost last week, so this week she has to win. Kanashimi ni tsubusare sou demo~ (Nana Mizuki- Taiyou ga niau yo) It was Utau's ringtone. Yes, she is using her own song as her ringtone.
"Hello?" Utau asked through the phone.
"Utau!" A spirited reply came through the other side of the phone.
"Kukai? I thought we were going to meet at the ramen shop in front of the station…. Oh… you're going to forfeit for today's challenge isn't it?" Utau said through the phone with a sly smile over her face.
"No! You think I'm ever going to forfeit from a ramen challenge? More like are you going to be coming today? Who knows? Maybe you'll runoff with your microphone in your hand" The sly voice replied through the voice.
"Souma Kukai!" Utau shouted at her small mobile device.
"Still the ramen shop in front of the station. I have something to ask you. Recently my lower classmen somehow have a love in first sight to one of the students in your school." The voice from the other end replied.
"Ok… So… description?" Utau asked.
"Well, according to my lower classmen… she has long curly blonde hair. She uses sort black band on top of her hair, you know that thing. I'm not a girl so I don't what you call it. She's not really tall and her eyes are brow, with a small pointy nose. Oh yeah, her face is small and emotionless…anyone you know with these descriptions?" The voice asked through the phone.
Somehow the whole crowd stared at Rima. They were staring straight at her. Rima felt a sweat dripped down from the side of her cheeks.
"Hey, Kukai you better treat me extra ramen today. I've got the girl you want." Utau said through the phone.
"Great! I'm at your gate already~" The voice announced.
Utau looked through the window and saw a guy with red brown hair crazily waving, and a boy with dark brown hair with his face blushed. Things are getting interesting was what was in Utau's mind.
"Kukia, we'll be there." Utau said through the phone.
Really soon the four girls… oh sorry. The three girls and one fake girl arrived at the gate. Rima didn't have a good feeling. Since Amu kept on giggling on the way to the gate.
"Hey! Utau!" The boy with red brown haired called out.
"Ummm… Who are they?" Rima asked.
"Oh, sorry. I'm Souma Kukai. I attend a school about 3 km from here. I'm a high school second year student, and I'm some ramen friend with Utau" The boy with red brown hair introduced himself.
"oh…." Rima said and nodded her head.
"Fuyuki, introduce yourself!" Kukai said with his high spirited voice.
"ummm… umm…ummmm I'm Kirishima Fuyuki. First year in high school" The boy with dark brown hair said as he bowed. You can tell that he was nervous since his voice was shaking when he was introducing himself. Fuyuki didn't dare to raise his head because his face was as read as an apple.
"Do you remember me?" Fuyuki asked hoping for an answer he wants.
"…?" Rima gave him a confused face.
"The boy who kicked the ball over the gate about 3 days ago… The soccer ball that knocked your head." Fuyuki said wanting to recall Rima's memory.
"oh… that… and today you're here for?" Rima asked hoping to end this conversation so she can go back to her 304.
"Since that day…" Fuyuki was ready to give it a blast off. He had a love in first sight towards Rima. The smile on her face that have made him blush, and now she's in front of him. Somehow she looks cuter and her voice is sweeter to Fuyuki today.
"Since that day?" Rima asked.
Everyone was staring at Fuyuki. They knew what Fuyuki wanted to say and they were all hoping for Fuyuki to say it out loud. Ba dump! Ba dump! Ba dump! Fuyuki's heart was pumping blood crazily. Finally he took a deep breath…
"Since that day, you've always been on my mind! Please go out with me!" Fuyuki said and he bowed down again while having one of his hands out for a handshake.
"I don't have any interest in things like that." Rima said with her calm voice.
Fuyuki was stunned there. His mind was blank and he didn't know what to do. After saying her reply Rima turned around and walked away. Amu and Nadeshiko followed after Rima. Kukai didn't know what to do.
"Hey, Kukai. Let's leave the ramen challenge till tomorrow. Accompany your lower classmen." Utau said and walked away.
"Umm.. Fuyuki!" Kukai said as he saw a pile of "Fuyuki-sand" beside him.
In room 304 (Nadeshiko and Rima's room) …
Rima, Nadeshiko, and Amu were sitting at the small Japanese style table in the middle of the room. Amu and Nadeshiko were all glaring at Rima, while Rima was just drinking tea acting nonchalantly.
"Rima, why did you reject Fuyuki?" Amu asked.
"Why do I have to accept things that I don't like?" Rima said while tilting her head.
"That's not the problem; you can reject him in a subtle way." Nadeshiko protested.
"If I do it in a subtle way then he thinks he has the chance." Rima defended herself.
"That's still harsh!" Amu has officially joined the battle.
"I don't need a romance!" Rima shouted.
"We're talking about how you should reject him!" Amu shouted back.
"Love doesn't last! They'll never last!" Rima shouted as she showed up and had a really uncomfortable face. What she has just said is reflected on her parent's marriage. She just can't bear another wound that is about love. Love is not needed in her life. At this point Rima's eyesight have become blurry. Hot burning tears flowed out of her eyes. Immediately, Rima stood up and ran out of the door.
"Rima!" She could hear Nadeshiko and Amu calling out to her.
Amu was going to run after Rima but she was stopped by Nadeshiko.
"Amu-chan, you have a date tomorrow right? You better go rest now, and I'll deal with Rima." Nadeshiko suggested.
"Ok… I'll leave it to you." Amu agreed and retreated back to her room.
Rima ran to the top of the dorm, she was sitting on the roof. The roof doesn't have a really slanted slope so Rima won't fall down easily. She was hugging her own knees while sobbing. She dug her face between her hands and her knees, which eventually made her uniform skirt soaking wet.
"Mashiro-san" Nadeshiko called out from the entrance to the roof.
"Go away cross dresser." Rima warned.
Nadeshiko untied his long pigtail, as in representing he's turning into Nagihiko. His long purple hair swiftly danced in the blowing breeze. Now, Nagihiko-mode is on. Things aren't that easy for Rima to handle now.
"Mashiro-san" Nagihiko called out again with his boy voice.
"Two faced cross dresser." Rima called back.
Nagihiko took a seat beside Rima on the roof. Rima then turned about 90 degrees away from Nagihiko. She scooted a little more the side Nagihiko isn't on. Of course Nagihiko went closer to Rima.
"So can you tell me why are you crying?" Nagihiko asked while he looked up into the sky. It was about 5:00, almost dark. The dusk was really pretty, the combination on orange, yellow, and red have amused Nagihiko's eyes.
"You won't understand it cross dresser… sorry I forgot something… two faced forceful sneaky disgusting ugly jump rope hair..." Rima was going to continue but she was stopped by Nagihiko.
"Ok… Ok… I get it!" Nagihiko said that in order to let Rima stop her long list of complaints about him.
Rima have stopped crying but her face is all covered by tears. She needed something to wipe her face.
"Here… Take it." Nagihiko said as he passed Rima a small pack of tissue.
"The only good about you is you're hygienic" Rima said as she snatched the small pack of tissue away and turned around again.
"Well… In exchange of the tissue can you tell me why did you cry?" Nagihiko asked.
"Don't you know the reason I cried?" Rima said giving him the "Hello? Remember the conversation there?" face.
"Oh… I meant why you cried when you talked about love never last." Nagihiko asked.
"Since they never really last, there's no need to love!" Rima shouted.
"I meant why did you cry because they don't last!" Nagihiko shouted back.
"Can't you see I'm trying to avoid answering your question! You blockhead!" Rima screamed back.
"Now, you're more human-ish" Nagihiko said as he gave Rima a smile.
"Huh?" Rima tilted her head.
"You always have that emotionless, scary, and calm face on you. Now that you are raging you have just took another step to be closer to a human being." Nagihiko said with a smile.
"Should I take that as an insult or compliment…?" Rima said with a really soft voice.
"By the way I don't have to know the exact reason you cried, since everyone has something they want to keep to themselves. I am curious in the reason, but you can tell me until you think it is ok for me to know." Nagihiko said with a smile as he patted Rima's head.
"Maybe… I should call that guy and apologize tomorrow…" Rima said.
"Ok… Then I shall contact Hoshina-san to contact Souma-kun to contact Kirishima-kun." Nagihiko said as he got his phone out ready to dial. To be truthful to you, when Nagihiko heard Rima's reply to Fuyuki's confession he was disappointed but relieved in another way. He, himself, doesn't know why either.
"Tomorrow's gonna be a hard day for me…" Rima said as she sighed.
A little spoiling for next chapter…. 3 dates happening all in next chapter….
