Obsession
Chapter Four: Lunch
Lunch time was his least favorite time during school.
He never had anyone to sit with, not that he needed anyone because he didn't.
It was just even more boring watching people talk and have fun than to watch the teacher drone on about math.
The form of that girl caught his attention. She and the group that she was with had pushed the desks together so that they could talk to each other easier.
She seemed to be having a good time. That made Akashi mad. But everything made him angry it seemed.
His heated glare softened to an unemotional stare. At closer inspection of her, he couldn't help but notice that she wasn't ugly. Maybe pretty, even.
Not like he cared...
It was finally lunch time! Now I could finally relax and not have the glare of Akashi directed at the back of my head.
"Oi, Haru-chan, come put your desk next to mine!" Mimi yelled out to me. "Hai, Mimi-chan."
I pushed my desk next to hers and then sat down with my lunch. Once everyone was settled in the introductions started.
"Minna, this is Haru and she is going to sit with us!" Mimi excitedly told everyone at the group.
"Konichiwa," I said softly. There was a chorus of 'Konichiwa' from the group of girls. The girls and I all started to talk and gossip, though I didn't know who most of the people we gossiped about were.
"Kuroda-san keeps starring at you, Haru-san," said Keiko, a shy and reserved girl that I happened to sit next to.
I glanced behind me towards the desk that Akashi was sitting in. He was starring at me, just as Keiko had said.
Then I noticed that he wasn't eating anything. "Keiko-san, why isn't he eating anything?" I asked her.
She shrugged and then looked down at her bento box. "Ever since I can remember he hasn't had much of an appetite. I guess its because of his old illness- oops, I said too much," she nervously stated.
Something was seriously wrong here and I intend to find out what. Right now the only clues I have are Akashi's family members and the fact that he had an old illness.
The bell began to ring, signaling that it was time to pack up and get settled back into our seats. Our teacher came into the room shortly after.
