BlackHawkDwn- Thanks for the review :). And I know the chapters are pretty short,
and I'll try to change that once I start taking my ADD medicine. If I made them more than 1,500 words, it'd probably take 2 weeks by the way I have to write a little at a time. I'll try to make this chapter extra long though :)
Never Thought I'd Feel This Way: Chapter Four
"Mutt! Wake up, Shizuru's here!" I heard Nao's voice in my "just woke up" daze. I could hear grumbles, probably coming from me, before I covered up my face with the new sheets that had been put on the bed for my arrival. When people wake me up, it takes me like five minutes to actually comprehend anything you're saying,
so I basically didn't understand that Shizuru was IN our room. Until she decided to take matters into her own hands, that is. The covers were taken from over my head, and I half-assedly (I have no idea if that's how you spell that) tried grabbing them back, but to no avail. Then something happened that made me very awake, very quickly.
I felt warm breath on my ear, before a familiar voice spoke, "Natsuki shouldn't sleep while she has guests, they might take advantage." Wait. Where have I heard that voice before? I opened my eyes in a panic, and my eyes finally rested upon the smiling face of Shizuru quite close to mine.
"Woah! Nao, why'd you let her in?! I was sleeping, asshole!" I yelled angrily,
hearing her talking into her microphone to somebody she was playing with on her PS3.
"Wait hold on a minute. No, just Natsuki.. Sorry, Mutt! She said it was important and I can't deny her anything if she says that!"
"Whatever.. So Shizuru, what's so important that you couldn't wait a few hours until I was awake?" I asked accusingly, holding the blankets in front of my body,
even though I was fully dressed. I guess I didn't want her to see the embarrassing Christmas pajamas my mom gave me that still smell like her. What?
It's just like a memory or something, only in the form of embarrassing sleepwear.
"I was just going to ask if you wanted to have breakfast, Nat-su-ki. It's very important, because they stop serving breakfast in fifteen minutes."
Wait! I almost missed breakfast! Thank god for Shizuru.
"You saved my life!" I shrieked purposely too dramatic, squeezing her in a tight hug. I could tell I actually surprised her, which made me feel good. Usually SHE embarrasses ME. My blush hasn't even gone away from the ear whispering incident a few minutes ago. "Now, can you leave so I can get ready really fast?"
"I could always stay, if you wanted." She whispered I admit quite sexily. Wow,
she bounces back fast. Going from surprised to flirty in two seconds flat, it should be a record!
"Uhhh.. how 'bout no." I said bluntly, pushing her out of the room quickly so she wouldn't see my blush darkening. I really need to have control over my blushing tendencies.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
A few minutes later, I was dressed in a loose band t-shirt and basketball shorts that stopped at my knees. What? I like to be comfortable, and it's not like I have anyone to impress. Okay, so maybe I actually brushed my hair so it wouldn't be as messy, but NOT because Shizuru was waiting outside!
When I came out of the room, Nao was sitting on the bean bag she had brought with her, holding a PS3 controller and looking very concentrated as she stared at the TV screen. Shizuru was putting groceries into the refridgerator. Wait, groceries?
"Shizuru.. How did you get those, and why are you putting them in our refridgerator?" I asked hesistantly.
"I picked them up from the store earlier, when I realized you didn't have any."
"You were IN here earlier?! And how'd you go off campus?"
"I came over earlier to talk to Nao about something, and my parents bought me a car for my stay here. The least I could do is buy food for you."
"I don't NEED your food!"
"I never said you did, Nat-su-ki."
"Yeah, Mutt. It's free food, why should you care?" Nao interuppted. As it was two against one, I decided to give up. There was no point in arguing anyway, she already bought it all.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
"Natsuki, get up!"
"Leave me alone, Nao.." I groaned. I was going to have to get up eventually if I wanted to eat, and Nao was actually doing me a favor since I asked her to wake me up, but I was still tired.
"D'you want breakfast or not, Mutt? And then you have to make nice with Mai and Mikoto, so we can play co-op with Mikoto later. Mai won't let Mikoto play online with anyone she doesn't think is appropriate for her 'not girlfriend'. Oh, and we'll have to play splitscreen since you don't have a PS3." And with that, she grabbed my arm and pulled me off the bed and onto the floor. What a perfect day to sleep naked. "Natsuki, you wanted to seduce me all along, 'ey?"
"Nao! Get out, I'm serious!" I yelled, picking up the nearest object and throwing it at her head. That object just happened to be the baseball I constantly like to play with, hitting her in the side of the head.
"Ouch! Okay, I'm fucking leaving.."
I heard her slam the front door as she left. OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Arriving in the cafeteria, I noticed Nao glaring at me, holding an ice pack to her head. Deciding that it wouldn't be a good idea to try and sit with her, I chose a mostly empty table in the corner. I would've sat with Shizuru so I didn't feel like a complete loner, but she was never at breakfast for some reason.
Suddenly, I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was the busty redhead, Mai.
"Don't worry about her, she'll get over it. She has quite the temper, but eventually she'll calm down and realize it was an accident." Mai whispered as she set down a tray in front of me covered in pancakes, biscuits, and delicious looking bacon. I finally looked back up to where Mai was previously standing, but she was already back in the kitchen with a drowsy looking Mikoto hanging off of her.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
After having an admittedly lonely breakfast, I headed back to the room. Right when I entered, I was knocked back against the door with a push. When I finally regained my bearings, Nao was standing there smiling at me. I was about to ask her what the hell was wrong with her, but she stepped forward and gave a me a quick but tight hug. "Sorry mutt, I sorta overreacted. I really see you as a friend ya know, which I can't say for most people." She whispered in my ear. Nao cleared her throat and backed away, coughing awkwardly. She's as bad at being emotionally open as I am.
"It's fine. I bet I can do better than you at splitscreen Search and Destroy." I said confidently, smirking. She seemed grateful for the topic change, and nodded with a challenging look in her eyes. We played for hours and hours, until there was a knock on the door. Pausing the game, Nao got off her bean bag and went over to the door. I heard some muffled voices before Mai, Mikoto, and (god damn it)
Haruka came into the living room with.. snacks!
"Hey, Natsuki! Nao invited us over at lunch, so I got somebody to go to town and buy us snacks!" Mai greeted, throwing down all the bags on the floor. There were Lays, Doritos, Starburst, and.. Cheez-It's! I immediately snatched the box before anyone could touch them, and opened it eagerly, my mouth almost watering. "Nao told me you liked those, so I specifically asked for them." Mai explained with a sweet smile. All I could do is nod violently, my mouth already stuffed.
"You insolent brittle child! Why don't you get some banners?!" Haruka immediately started scolding me, and she hasn't even been here five minutes yet! I'm assuming she meant 'little' and 'manners', but I didn't wanna say anything, because she'd probably start screaming at me again.
"Haruka, isn't she the same age as you?" Mikoto asked, tilting her head to the side like a confused dog.
"T-that isn't the point!" She was flustered, so I guess she decided to shut up.
"Whaddya wanna do? I'm bored, and I wanna do something really fucking awesome before classes start!" Nao said. I had something in mind, but it was very extreme.
"Actually Nao, I think I might have something in mind.. if you're up for it." I said, practically daring her to accept my request.
"I'm up for anything, Mutt."
With that, I pulled her over to the side and whispered my evil genius plan in her ear. By the end of my proposal, Nao was smirking devilishly.
"Come on, guys! Let's go pull possibly the best prank of alllll time!" Nao yelled, with an excited glint in her eyes. Mikoto was really eager, basically running over to Nao to stand beside her. Mai seemed a bit more hesitant, but wherever Mikoto went, she went. Haruka just looked absolutely outraged.
"Idiots! I am the vice president of the student council! I will not be a part of your hooliganry!"
"Okay, just stay here then." Nao said, acting nonchalant as she started leading us out the door to our room. At first I heard shuffling, then Haruka said 'wait!'
and ran to join us.
A/N: I tried making the chapter longer than usual for you, but I really wanted the prank to be next chapter, because it'll probably be quite long. I can't believe I got this much done that quickly, so if there are mistakes, excuse me but I'm way too tired to check anything right now.
