A/N: Yes, this once was part of Fools In Love, but for some reason the author is making me put this under my own name, do not ask why. It was her birthday, so i was TRYING to make her happy, I think I succeeded :P
In the Previous Chapter:
"You think that SEIFER sent you the letter?! This is SEIFER Olette!! SEIFER!! THAT BASTARD DOESN'T HAVE A HEART! He would never send you something like this!! HOW THE HELL DO YOU EVEN THINK THAT HE SENT THIS TO YOU!!"
Shocked, and a bit hurt. I snapped right back at him, "What is your PROBLEM, Hayner?! WHY IS IT THAT WHENEVER SOMEONE SHOWS ROMANTIC INTEREST, YOU BURST!? Literally!! You burst!! If it's Seifer that shows any interest in me, JUST BACK OFF! YOU AREN'T THE ONLY GUY IN MY LIFE!! AND HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT HE WON'T SEND ME SOMETHING LIKE THIS!! IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE HAYNER, THEN JUST STAY AWAY FROM ME!!"
Then I ran.
As fast as my legs could take me. I ran away from him, straight to my house, how DARE he insult me!! That's it, I swear if he doesn't change his attitude, he can kiss our friendship goodbye!! I won't EVER talk to him again.
"Pence! Just where do you think you were yesterday? On the most important day of the school year! The day I NEEDED you to be here?! Just where were you mister?"
Looking out from behind his locker, Pence raises a curious eyebrow and ignorantly continues to get his book out of his locker, completely ignoring me. His appearance and actions made me even more irritated with each passing second. I started to tap my foot impatiently, hands on hips and glare at him, venomously. I want an answer. And I want it NOW, "Answer the question if you hope to see tomorrow!! Understand.. BUB!!" I threatened, I might have been able to put better vocabulary, but I got the main part around. And I was going to get an answer. I meant every word I said.
"Did you just say 'bub'?" Pence aks skeptically, raising an eyebrow at me again.
"What's wrong with saying bub?!?! And don't change the subject!!"
"I was sick." He says bluntly, erasing all of my smart comebacks in one second.
"......... Oh." Damn, he has a good excuse.
"So why was yesterday so important again?"
"I was in desperate and drastic need of your help!! And yesterday was a really rotten day to get sick you know!! Why did you have to get sick when I needed you most!?"
"Well... what did you need me for in the first place?"
"Another letter."
"That explains why Hayner was acting weird this morning....... but he can't know about that though.... we never told him......" Pence drifts off, one hand under chin. His 'thinking' look, as I call it.
W-Wait.
Hayner was acting weird?!
Mhph serves him right!! "You two have had loads of fights, but he's never acted like THAT before. Something is DEFINITELY wrong. No wonder Hayner is avoiding you as well..... explains why he ran off when he saw you...." Pence drifts off again.
He's AVOIDING me now?! Something is fishy, and it's not the cafeterias special.
"Hayner's just weird!! Two can play at that game though!! I'll just avoid him just as much as he avoids me!! Pence, you're staying by my side the entire day. Got it!? Don't you dare tread to the enemies side!!"
"Yeah, yeah. Sure. Wonder what Hayner's gonna do... Wait, enemy?"
"Stop drifting off," I snap "It's getting on my nerves!" Ignoring the last part, I had no comeback for that. And I like being the last one to get a word in.
"Touchy, touchy." He smirks, my right hand is sorely SORELY tempted to slap him. Even if I know he's right. I've been in a bad mood since yesterday.............. Damn Hayner for turning my perfectly good week upside down. This is all HIS fault!
"So what exactly DID happen?" Pence asks me, looking up at me as we made our way to our next class.
"Well, as I started of telling you before you interrupted me, I got a new letter yesterday." Taking a deep breath, I tell Pence the entire story, "I read it, and I thought you were next to me. I didn't know you were absent. SWEAR. So I was really excited, I really DID think it was you. Then it turned out to be HAYNER. HAYNER!! I went pale, but you know me, I felt like I was having an out of body experience or something!! I blanked, and I fled. It didn't help that you weren't there!! I had no one to talk to!! And then guess what!! I spend the whole day avoiding him!! I spent my whole day trying to find a way to NOT see him and NOT drop my grades!!" I puff out in annoyance. My shoulders felt lighter now. I took another deep breathe and continued, "So I chatted with Namine, avoided him some more, book club went by. Then it's after school. Hayner walked me home. We... got into an argument you can say."
"Figures." He but in, shaking his head.
"Do NOT interrupt me!" I glowered at him, he cringed and did the impression of 'zipping his mouth', smiling the entire time though still. I'm going to get him one day!! "So where was I? Right. We got into an argument. So he confronted me about the anonymous letter. He was calm. For once in his life. And I told him i thought it was Seifer. He sorta lost it..... And you can pretty much guess the res-"
"You thought it was SEIFER?!"
"I TOLD YOU NOT TO INTERRUPT ME! GOD HELP ME PENCE AND LEARN HOW TO SHUT UP!!"
"That DEFINITELY explains why Hayner was pissed this morning!! Olette why the hell did you think it was Seifer who sent it to you?! Honestly?! No wonder Hayner was so pissed! Seifer is his worst enemy! That proves you have some feelings for him if you think he sent it! And with one of your best friends worst enemies to! Do you--" He visibly pales and I see him take an instinctive step back. How DARE he continue talking as if I didn't tell him to shut the hell up already!! AND NOT JUST ONCE!!! TWICE!!! TWICE!!!!Right now, I can't blame him for getting scared. I was furious. BEYOND furious. I just told him NOT to INTERRUPT ME!!! "Right, so let's start this from the very beginning, okay?" he 'casually' tries to pick up on the conversation again.
Remembering my relaxation technique, I slowly nodded.
"Now, WHERE did you find the letter?"
"I already told you that!! It was in my locker!!" I snapped, I am NOT in the mood for an interrogation. Breathe, Breathe, Breathe.
"Listen Olette, calm. WHERE in your locker?"
"Inside my math book, look I don't see where this is going....." I drifted off.
The note was unmistakably in my math book. But....................... HOW did it get there? I last checked it the day before, I remember that clearly, and nothing was in there. But that means that Mr. Anonymous has my locker code!! The concept itself is TERRIFYING.
"THIS GUY IS A STALKER!" I screech, obviously panicking, this guy was some obsessed weirdo that has a crush on me!! What do I do? What do I DO?!
"Calm Olette, calm, breathe. Class starts in 2 minutes, breathe, inhale, exhale. Relaxation technique, remember? Olette, BREATHE! Your turning PURPLE!" I inhaled a huge gust of wind. Breathe, right, must remember that. "Who knows your locker code?" Pence continues once I had regained some color in my face again.
"You and Hayner" I reply instinctively. Who else would I tell? I've known the two of them since we were in diapers. They've been my best friend for years, if there was anyone in this school that I trusted more than myself, it would be those two.
"And who was absent yesterday?"
"You."
"Who was in school first?"
"Hayner."
"And.... Come on Olette use your brain, your suppose to be SMART!" I glare at him.
Thinking.
What does he mean?!
Okay so. Pence wasn't there yesterday. Hayner and Pence are the only ones I know that know my locker code. Hayner was, for once in his life, early in the morning, which means that he was here before I was.
But that means.............
I gasp in shock. I'm 100% sure my eyes are the size of saucers. Pence tuts and my stupidity, but I only faintly hear him somewhere in the back of my head. In the very VERY back. The only thing going through my mind was:
HAYNER IS MY SECRET ADMIRER?
It kept repeating and repeating itself in my head, I couldn't see anything, I couldn't hear anything, I couldnt' feel anything, the only thing I was aware of was that one thought. Refusing to lower its volume down, but increasing, until the words that were repeating itself started screaming.
What kind of twisted and delusion filled world is this? Where is the SANITY?! Where is the TRUTH OF REALITY?! Why is my head turning to mush! And why is my heart pounding 200 miles per hour!! I'm going to get a heart attack at this rate.
BREATHE OLETTE!! BREATHE!!
