The Fuuka Girlz
Chapter 4: "You Just Need To Read The Signal!"
This week was an off week for 2nd, 3rd and 4th year students because the registration and welcoming ceremony is going to be held for the upcoming first year students to the campus. All classes were cancelled and delayed to next week since all the staff and lecturers were involved with the ceremony and registration program.
"Aren't we supposed to be helping the council with the ceremony?" Chie asked while sipping on her café latte.
"You wanna help those dogs you can go, Chie… I prefer a quiet and relaxing week for myself only… Rather than wasting my energy to help them, I want to reserve my strength for tonight…" Nao grinned widely with cheese bagel in her hand. Chie laughed.
"With who? One of your 5 dates?" Chie smirked.
"No… A new one. I found this cute guy last night… and we're going to have another date tonight…" Nao raised her brows playfully.
"What the hell, Nao… When are you going to make up your mind to stick with one particular gender only…? Last time was a woman and now a man again?" Natsuki frowned slightly as she took a bite on her mayo bagel.
"Well, for your information, Natsuki… I'm looking for the same quality in a man as I am in the woman…" she grinned as she waved her bagel in front of navy haired girl.
"Urgh… You just make me sick…" and Natsuki received a bagel toss on her head from the red head.
"Nao! Stop playing with the food!!" they turned around and Mai was standing at her café's entrance door with a fuming face.
"Ah-hahaha… I was joking with Natsuki… Joking~" she quickly picked up her bagel that dropped in front Natsuki and put into her mouth again. Natsuki grinned widely seeing Nao was being scolded by Mai.
"Last time you throw all the curry buns to Natsuki… It's such a waste, you know! There's million of starving people out there who didn't even eat at all…" Mai walked to her counter and she quickly put on her apron.
"I'm sure they don't want to eat curry bun or bagel, Mai…" but Nao quickly shut her mouth when Mai shot her a death glare.
"Anyway, how's Mikoto-chan and Akira-kun…? Is their first year program finish yet?" Chie asked, pushing her empty cup to the counter.
"Not yet… There will be some campus tour organized by the Student Council… Maybe they will finish in the afternoon…" Mai picked up Chie's empty cup.
Natsuki flinched slightly when she heard Mai spoke the words 'Student Council'. Her head immediately pictured a certain brunette haired girl, smiling at her. What is wrong with me…? Why all of the sudden I have to think about her…? She quickly shook the thought out of her head and she took a sip of her espresso.
"You one another one…?" Mai asked the short haired girl.
"No… Thanks anyway… I'm full already…" Chie grinned while patting her stomach. Suddenly, her cell phone buzzing. All eyes focused on her in an instant.
Chie flipped her cell phone open, her brows frowned slightly.
"Oh god… From all the girls I know, why the hell she would be the one who texting me so early in the morning…?" Chie grunted while sighing heavily. Natsuki raised her brows slightly when she heard Chie's whining.
"Who's that…?" she asked as she bit on her bagel. Chie sighed again.
"Nao! Just cancel your date tonight…" she flipped off her cell phone.
"What? Why!?" Nao frowned tightly.
"Midori just texted me… She wanted us to go to the court now… She's going to make a special training for the coming friendly game…" Chie got off her chair.
"WHAT~?" Nao and Natsuki groaned loudly. Mai laughed to the three of them.
"Yes… Now! Come on!" Chie grabbed both Natsuki and Nao's collar and dragged them out of the café.
"Nao… I'll ride to the court with you… I'm too lazy to drive right now…" Chie quickly jumped into Nao's convertible sports car which parked right in front her own Mini Cooper. Natsuki was already straddling her bike while putting on her helmet.
"Yeah-yeah, lazy ass! What is going on with Midori anyway…? Is she having a fight with that campus doctor?" Nao in one swift jump, she landed perfectly on the driver seat. She put on her sunglasses and she quickly started the engine.
"I dunno… Maybe. She's been pretty moody these past few days…" Chie grinned. Natsuki halted her bike right beside the red car and she gestured that she will move to the campus first. Nao and Chie nodded their head. They just watched Natsuki rode her bike swiftly to the junction.
"She seems excited to go to the campus… I wonder why…" Nao and Chie exchanged look, and then they just shrugged their shoulders.
---
There was an assembly at the campus piazza. Hundreds of first year students were lining up in front of the podium.
After the Miss Kazahana Mashiro, the Director of Fuuka Girls University gave her speech, Haruka moved to the podium and she grabbed the microphone.
"Alright then… We the Student Council will guide all of you for a tour around the university area… We will split all of you into groups and please follow the instruction from the Council members~" her words were quickly halted when a loud engine sound roaring from the campus intersection. All the audiences there quickly turned around to look at the campus entrance.
Shizuru who was also at the podium couldn't help but to tilt her head slightly to look at the sudden commotion. Her eyes brightened instantaneously when she saw the fast approaching bike into campus gate. Later on, a flashy red sport car tagged along behind the midnight black Ducati, traversed to the basketball court building which only 50 meters away from the podium. A sight of red head and short haired girl in the car quickly cause a sudden squeaking among the new students there.
All the first year students watched in awe. In their head were wondering who those girls are.
The bike screeched loudly when Natsuki slammed on the brakes at the last minute. Nao parked her car right beside the Ducati and she turned off the car engine. In one fluid movement, they jumped out the car and they landed on the ground with full of style.
"KYAA~!!" all the first years screamed delightedly. Nao and Chie blinked her eyes in surprised when they heard that loud screaming.
"Oho… Look what we got there…" Nao lowered her sunglasses. Her lips curved into mischievous smirk.
"Fresh meat…" Chie stroked her short hair as she smiled charmingly, receiving another loud squeak from those new girls.
But the attentions were quickly shifted to the mysterious leather suit clad lady. Natsuki slowly took off her helmet. Her shining blue tresses fall down her shoulder like silks. She with her casual habit, she flicked her hair with her right hand…
"KYAAAAAA~!!!!" the screams were much louder than before. Natsuki almost fell from her bike when she heard the deafening screams. She quickly turned around to look and she saw all the new students there were swooning at her. What the hell…?
Shizuru who was watching from the very first moment the biker girl made her flashy entrance couldn't help but feel a slight dizzy in her head. If it's not because of my amazing self-control, I would end up just like those girls… She smirked silently as her eyes never leaving the navy haired girl.
Nao and Chie just watched those first years screaming at Natsuki.
"Dammit… Remind me to not bring Natsuki whenever we're going to pick up some girls…" Chie whispered to the red head beside her.
"Yeah… That cunning mutt! She will just steal every girl away from us…" Nao retorted then they laughed loudly.
"Natsuki!" a spiky haired girl walked out from the crowd and she ran to the navy haired girl, followed by a certain green haired girl behind her.
"Hey! Mikoto! Akira-kun! You guys here already! How's it going?" Natsuki jumped off her bike and she stood in front the delighted girl.
Shizuru widened her eyes slightly when she saw those two first year students talking to the navy haired girl. Ara… She's already have some first years who know about her? A slight pang of jealousy seeped into her chest. Calm down, Shizuru…
"We're going to have a tour around the university after this!!" Mikoto said with a huge grin on her face.
"A tour? That's so boring… Why don't you guys just skip it and join us at the basketball court?" Natsuki said with a wide grin as she circled her arm around Mikoto's shoulder. Chie laughed loudly.
"Yeah! Everything about the Student Council is boring… You guys shouldn't get involve too much with them… Let's go to the basketball court with us… Then we will take you guys a tour by ourselves later…" Nao said with a wink to the two younger girls.
"After that we go to Mai's café… We'll have some lunch there! What do you guys think?" Natsuki said again, trying to influence those two girls.
"Lunch!? At Mai's? Okay!!" Mikoto agreed immediately and Akira just laughed.
"DON'T YOU DARE TO TAKE THOSE TWO FIRST YEARS AWAY, YUUKI NAO! KUGA NATSUKI!!" Natsuki and Nao flinched instantly when they heard that high pitched roar.
They saw Haruka standing at the podium with a furious look, clenching the microphone near her mouth.
"Cheh~ That lion again…" Nao sighed. Natsuki just twitched her brow as she stared at the blonde but her eyes shifted instantly to the brunette haired girl who stood next to the fuming Fuku-Kaichou.
Hey! It's her! She didn't know why, but her heart was like soaring happily when she saw those crimson eyes that stared passionately at her.
Ara… Finally… She does notice me up here… Shizuru smiled softly to the navy haired girl.
Natsuki could feel her cheeks heated up. Quickly she averted her eyes from looking at the brunette.
"Anyway, Mikoto… I don't want that lion to chase and eat us later… You guys should go back to the group. We'll see you guys after this…" Natsuki patted the spiky haired girl head softly. Mikoto pouted slightly but she nodded her head anyway.
"If you guys happen to finish early with that whatever tour you guys have, just go to the basketball court. We will wait for you guys there…" Chie smiled to those two girls. Akira and Mikoto nodded their head and they walked back to the assembly line.
"Alright, let's go before Midori gets angry with us…" they were about to leave to the court when they heard another loud roar from that blonde.
"KUGA NATSUKI! YUUKI NAO! PARK YOUR VEHICLE AT THE PARKING LOT! NOT THAT AREA! IT'S A RESTRICTED AREA FOR PARKING!!" Haruka shouted through the microphone. All the first years quickly cupped their ears because of that deafening voice.
"Oh, for god sake… Can't she just let us go? There's nothing so restricted that we can't park our vehicle here…" Natsuki sighed loudly.
"Ara… Suzushiro-san… I think it's okay for them to park there… Besides the parking lot is already full last time I check…" Natsuki quickly turned around and she saw Shizuru stood beside the blonde. Shizuru tilted her head to look at the navy haired girl again. She smiled understandingly to the biker.
Nice one, Shizuru! Natsuki smirked slightly to the brunette and she walked together with her other two friends to the basketball court.
Shizuru just watched the departing figure into the building.
Ara… Maybe I can excuse myself while other council members take these first years a tour around the campus… She smirked silently to herself.
---
"Kuga! Catch it!!" a sudden yell from across the court.
"Huh?"
BAM!
"Fuck!!" she crouched to the floor as she held her throbbing nose. She could feel a liquid running down her nose.
"Dammit, Nao! What are you doing!!?" she watched blood slowly dripping on her palm. Nao was panicked.
"I'm sorry! I thought you're at it! You usually can dodge it… why you didn't avoid that ball?" Nao exclaimed, looking around the court to find something useful.
"How the hell am I suppose to know!? Fuck! It's bleeding again…" Natsuki started to breathe through her mouth.
"Natsuki! Hold on! Harada! Go get the towel!!" Midori commanded and Chie quickly ran to her bag and she took out a clean towel. She dashed to the nose bleeding girl.
"Here! Take this…" Chie handed the towel to the navy haired girl. Natsuki quickly pressed the towel to her nose to stop the bleeding.
"You should tilt your head up, mutt!" Nao said, with a grin on her face.
"Shut up, spider! You should watch where you're throwing the ball!" Natsuki slowly tilted her head facing the ceiling.
"You're the one who're day dreaming during the practice! I saw you keep looking outside the court!" Nao laughed. Natsuki widened her eyes slightly when she heard Nao said that she was day dreaming. Wh-what…? Did I really day-dreaming? But I was only thinking about… Her eyes widened more. An image of a brunette haired girl flashed inside her mind again.
Okay… That's it… I don't know what the hell is going on with me right now… Why her face is keep playing inside my head? What is she doing to me that now I can't get my head off her?
"See! That's what I'm talking about! You're doing it again! What the hell is going on with you, Kuga!!?" Nao practically yelled.
"I'm sorry… My head is dizzy right now…" she lied. Actually the nose bleeding was nothing to her. She even had experienced something much more dangerous than just a nose bleeding.
"Maybe it's because of the blood… You take a rest now, Natsuki… I'll have someone to go get some ice for you…" Midori patted the younger girl shoulder softly.
"Why don't we just take her to Youko-sensei, Midori…?" Chie asked the red head coach. Midori seemed stunned for a while.
"It's-uh… Youko-sensei is off today… She's not at the infirmary…" Midori scratched her head. Nao and Chie exchanged look.
"Anyway Natsuki, you just go out there, take some fresh air… I'll get the ice for you later…" Midori quickly walked to the other girls and she called out one of them to go to the cafeteria to get some ice.
"Hehehe…" Nao giggled when she saw Natsuki's redden nose. Natsuki twitched her brows.
"What 'hehehe'? You owe me this one, spider!" Natsuki started to walk out the court.
"Okay! I'll pay it for you later!!" Nao yelled and she laughed again. Chie just smiled as she shook her head.
Natsuki walked in slow pace to the bench outside the building, a bit secluded from people inside the court. She lay down on the cold wooden surface and she rested her arm across her forehead. At least I can rest for awhile…
Though the bleeding was reduced, the pain was still lingered. Then she heard footsteps approaching her.
"Kuga-san…" she shifted her arm slightly as she cracked her eyes open. An auburn haired girl smiled at her as she handed her a pack of ice.
"Thanks!" Natsuki smiled slightly to the girl and she just nodded her head.
"If you need anything, just call…" the girl walked away.
"Yeah, thanks again… But I'll be okay…" she quickly placed the pack of ice on her aching nose. She sighed heavily. The pain inside her nose was slowly eased and she was about to drift into sleep, then she heard footsteps again. Damn that girl… I said I'm okay already… She doesn't have to keep checking on me every single minute!
"Natsu~"
"I said I'm fine!! You don't have to come checking on me! It's just a fucking nose bleed!" she almost yelling, with her arm still resting on her forehead.
"Hehehe…" soft giggles hit her head into reality again. Her eyes widened almost instantly as she tilted her head to look. A brunette haired girl was standing a few feet away from her, hand covering her mouth while she was still laughing.
"Shizu~" the sudden shift of her body made her feel dizzy. The ice pack fell from her forehead and onto the ground.
"Urgh!" she slowly held her head as she lay on her back again. Shizuru quickly walked closer to the navy haired girl.
"What happened to you? Are you okay…?" she asked, concern. Natsuki just grunted, closing her eyes tightly to get rid of the dizziness inside the head.
"…No." she replied half-heartedly. Shizuru giggled again. She quickly sat beside the lying girl and she reached her hand to the ice pack.
"Here… Let me help you with this…" she softly placed the ice pack on Natsuki's nose bridge, hoping that it would help reduce the pain. Natsuki didn't realize how close that brunette was until she could smell a sweet fragrance coming from that Kaichou.
She didn't dare to open her eyes because she knew that Shizuru was sitting right beside her. She just let the warm sensation that came from the other girl's hand to do the magic. She could hear her own heart pounding so loudly. Damn it! It happens again! What the hell is this feeling that I have?
Shizuru just watched Natsuki started to relax and she was no longer twitching her brows in pain. Maybe the pain is gone now… She tried to remove her hand, but somehow her hand seemed to be 'glued' on that ice pack. Ara… Now my hand is disobeying my command… Her eyes roamed across the angelic face in front of her. Her lips unconsciously curved upwards when she saw Natsuki's peaceful façade. This is very rare… I barely saw her around the campus with this look… She's very often wearing this cold and untouchable mask whenever she's around with other people, well... not include her friends though…
After the pain was no longer lingering on her nose, Natsuki slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes met with the pair of crimson eyes that stared down softly into her own. Suddenly realized how closed they were, Natsuki couldn't help but to blush heavily. Damn it… Why the hell do I need to feel this way when she's around me?
"Ara… Natsuki's is red… I wonder if the pain is return..." Shizuru asked with a concern look. Natsuki blinked her eyes, registering with what that brunette had said.
"O-Oh… No. I'm fine now… T-thanks…" Natsuki quickly got up to sitting position, making the brunette involuntarily pulled away her hand.
"Are you sure…? You don't seem well to me…" Shizuru tilted down her head to look at Natsuki who was lowering her head from Shizuru's inquiring eyes. Natsuki gulped down slowly. Shit… I'm fucking blushing right now, so stop looking at me!!
"Ye-yeah! I'm fine… I'm fine!" she forced an awkward smile to the brunette. Shizuru just looked at her unconvincingly, slowly she smiled back.
"I'm glad you're okay… Sure it's no longer painful…?" Shizuru asked again. Natsuki just sighed heavily and she smiled.
"Yeah… I'm fine! It's no longer in pain. Don't worry about it…" What the hell, Kuga! How could you think that she might worry about you, dammit!!
"Okay… If Natsuki say so…" she smiled again. Natsuki just watched the older woman, but quickly she averted her eyes from being caught staring. Now you're like a freak to keep staring at her…
Shizuru who already noticed Natsuki's behavior just smiled to herself despite she also almost blushing when she saw Natsuki looking at her. I wonder what she's thinking when she looks at me like that…
"Anyway… How did you get your nose bleeding…?" after a few minutes of an awkward silence between them, Shizuru made the first move to break the ice.
"That stupid spider Nao! She threw the ball when I wasn't looking! She even laughed at me after seeing me like this!" Natsuki had a cute frown on her forehead, making the older woman almost swoon right there at that moment.
Ara? Spider? Is she always like to entitle other people with animals? Last time she called Suzushiro-san a lion… Hehe… She's so funny at times… "Ara? Yuuki-san did this to you…? Why didn't you dodge it?"
"I didn't notice it…" Like I'm going to tell her that I've been day-dreaming about her all the time… Natsuki scratched her head. Shizuru just giggled.
"You should be more careful, Natsuki… I don't want you to get hurt…" Ara… Did I just say that?
Natsuki blinked her eyes a few times. Did I hear things right? Did I just hear she said that? M-maybe she's just doing her job as kaichou… But is really all Kaichous doing this sort of thing?
"Um, yeah! Thanks!" Is that the best you can come out with!? You're so stupid sometimes, Kuga!
Shizuru just watched for any changes on Natsuki's face. What you're expect, Shizuru? She maybe only thinks that you're doing your job as a Kaichou… Stop dreaming for impossible here!
"Ara… I need to get back to the group… Suzushiro-san might be waiting for me now…" Shizuru slowly got off the bench. Natsuki also quickly stood up.
"Um, okay… Thanks anyway…" she smiled. Shizuru nodded her head.
"I'll be going now…" Shizuru smiled as she gazed deeply into the pair of emerald eyes in front of her.
"Yeah…" Natsuki gulped slowly when she saw Shizuru stared at her. Slowly another rush of heat running to her face. God... Enough with this blushing already!!
Shizuru just smiled when she saw Natsuki blushed slightly. Maybe her nose is still in pain… She slowly bowed her head and she turned around to walk away.
"See you again, Natsuki…"
"O-okay…" she watched the older woman walked then Shizuru stopped on her way.
"I'm still waiting for you to come and ask me out, Natsuki…" Shizuru giggled mischievously as she started to walk again. Natsuki was stunned.
"Is she really looking forward to it or is she just teasing me…?" Natsuki twitched her brows to the sight of brunette haired girl who already disappeared at the corner of the building. I just don't understand this woman…
"Oi, Kuga!" she quickly turned, Nao was standing at the court entrance door, her face was concerned.
"You okay now?" the red head asked. Natsuki just smiled as she tossed the ice pack to the red head.
"Yeah! I'm okay…"
---
It was almost midnight and just finished having her shower. She walked out her bathroom and she took out a pair of plain dark blue pajama that matched with the color of her hair from her closet.
She quickly put on her pajama but her eyes slowly frowned when she heard a faint sound of TV at the living room. She almost jumped when she heard loud laughs cracked outside her room. What the fuck? It's Chie's and Nao's voice!!
She pulled her door opened and indeed both of her friends were sprawling at the couch, with pizza in their hands. What!? Pizza!? I didn't remember inviting them here and have some fucking pizza…
"Yo! Natsuki!" Chie grinned widely as she took another bite on her pizza slice.
"How the hell did you guys get into my apartment?" she asked with a soft frown as she settled next to the short haired girl. Chie just gestured at the red head who was sipping on her apple juice.
"Nao~" Natsuki gritted her teeth. How the hell she managed to get in anyway? I didn't remember giving any keys or anything! Besides I've changed that lock almost ten times already!
"What? You said that I owe you when I hit you with ball… I came to pay it now…" Nao said with a blank face.
"With pizzas and juices? I need something better than that!" Natsuki leaned her back on the couch.
"Ehh… So, you prefer me to kiss your aching nose to make it better?" Nao said as she winked playfully at the fuming navy haired girl. Chie laughed hysterically.
"Hell no!!" Natsuki cringed at the thought that red head would kiss her nose. Kill me first!!
Both Nao and Chie laughed loudly again.
"Okay… Just eat that… I'll go get the mayo for you…" Nao grinned as she got off the couch. Chie turned her attention to the current show on TV.
Natsuki stared blankly at the pizzas on the coffee table before her. What if I ask these guys about this thing that I had these past few days…
"Hey, Chie…" Natsuki muttered out carefully.
"Yeah?" the short haired girl still had her eyes on the TV.
"I was wondering, you know… Before you go hit on some girls… How do you know that they might respond to you…?" she tried her best to not sounded too obvious. Chie abruptly turned around looking at her with a shock and questioning look. Oh crap… Natsuki gulped down hard.
"Wh-what's gotten into you all of sudden you came out with this question?" Chie was completely off guard with such question from the navy haired girl beside her.
"What…? What question?" Nao who returned from kitchen, asked as she placed a bottle of mayo on the coffee table. Natsuki blinked her eyes a few times as she looked at her friends back and forth.
"Natsuki just asked me how I knew if a girl had a thing for me or not before I go hit on her…" Chie almost smirking.
"Oho… Kuga~ Why all of sudden you wanted to know all these things…? Are you into someone?" Nao quickly jumped on her couch with a wide grin on her face.
"No. I'm just asking because I was curious! I've been wondering about this thing long time ago. I just forgot to ask…" Yeah right… Natsuki said as casually as she could while her hand reached for a slice of pizza.
Nao and Chie looked at each other with arched brows. Really? They smirked mischievously to each other.
"Okay! Okay! What's the question again…?" Nao positioned herself on the couch as her face was showing a full interest.
"I was wondering how you guys knew if girls have a thing for you before you go and hit on them…" she took a bite on her pizza while only God knew how her heart pounding so loud in her chest.
"It's that is…?" Nao asked back, with an arched brow. Natsuki nodded her head.
"Simple… You just need to read the signal…" Nao leaned her back on the couch.
"What signal?" Natsuki twitched her brows as she turned facing Chie.
"A 'Love' signal, Natsuki…" Chie grinned. Natsuki frowned again. What the hell…
"Okay… That's my problem…" Natsuki scratched her head.
"No, Kuga… It's not a problem…" Nao was almost laugh when she saw frustrated look on Natsuki's face.
"What makes you say that?" Natsuki twitched her brows again.
"Love is fluid, Natsuki… You just go with the flow…" Chie smiled. Natsuki sighed heavily.
"Alright… That is my problem! I can't understand the flow… That signal thing or whatever it is… I don't get it!" she was really frustrated with her lack of knowledge about that topic. Nao's eyes widened as she gasped loudly.
"Oh my god. You don't have Love Radar!" Nao exclaimed. Natsuki and Chie twitched her brows at the same time.
"Yes. Wait… What the hell is that?" Natsuki turned to look at her friends with a confused look.
"You're so right! You don't have one!" Nao laughed lightly.
"What the hell, Nao… Everyone's got it. You just need to tune it in…" Chie shook her head as she laughed.
"Well, apparently our Kuga here is a special case and she's too stupid to have one…" Nao laughed when Natsuki shot her a death glare.
"No wonder it was so hard for you to have a girlfriend… Why didn't we figure out about this thing earlier, Nao?" Chie took a sip on her drinks.
"She's always been such secretive about her love life… How the hell we're going to know about it?" Nao stated blankly.
"Back to my question please…?" Natsuki sighed heavily.
"Okay… It's not very difficult to detect if someone has a thing for you or not… You can see it through her body language…" Chie smiled widely.
"What body language…?" Natsuki asked again. Nao and Chie sighed heavily. Oh, boy… This going to be a long night…
"The way she looks at you when she's talking with you…" Nao started. Natsuki's head quickly flashed back at the scene when she talking to Shizuru. Nothing wrong I guess… She seemed very natural and casual when she talked with me…
"She will make a lot of eye contact with you…" Chie followed. Natsuki slowly sunk into her couch. Her head wandered again. She did look into my eyes very frequent… But isn't it normal to look into each others' eyes when you're having a conversation…?
"She will try every chance that she has to get close to you or touch you…" Nao took the liberty to explain more. Natsuki just stared at her entwined fingers. Well… She did sit close to me earlier at the practice… and she did touch me because she's helping me with the ice pack…
"And when these signals are clear enough… you'll need to make your move then… Ask her out or something…" Chie grinned. Natsuki blinked her eyes a few times as her head tried to register every single detail Nao and Chie told her just now.
None of them matched well with her at all… Natsuki took a deep breath.
"And if you can't find any of these signals from her…" Nao rubbed her chin. Natsuki turned facing the red head expectantly.
"…Maybe she's not that into you, you know…" Nao smiled slightly. Chie just nodded her head in agreement.
"O-oh… I see…" Natsuki could feel her throat started to dry.
"So… Any more questions?" Chie asked with glee. Natsuki just laughed dryly.
"No. Thanks anyway…" Natsuki nodded her head slightly and she quickly turned facing the TV.
So… she's not that into me, huh? She could feel her heart aching.
Nao and Chie turned to look at each other with a confused look. Nao just smiled as she shrugged her shoulder. Chie took a deep breath and she slowly smiled.
We hope you can be honest with us sometimes, Natsuki-kun…
So? You guys like it? I just wanted to make things slow between Natsuki and Shizuru… don't want to rush things up, you know… I'm afraid you guys will get boring… (It's my opinion though ^_^) Please review anyway! Really appreciate it!! XD
