*Rinto's P.O.V*
"And there you have it," I finished.
"So, let me get this straight. This is the first week of school, and the girl you like just keeps giving you a cold shoulder just because you apparently "humiliated her" in front of everyone some time ago. But you cannot even recall that occurring? That obviously does not make sense," Gumiya replied.
I nodded.
Silence reigned, as the last student walked out. All that could be heard was the whirr of the ceiling fans.
"Did anything happen to you that might be the reason why you forgot?" Gumiya suggested.
I thought for a bit. Then I shook my head.
He scratched his head in both confusion and frustration.
"Well, it's getting late. Good luck with trying to apologise to Lenka," Gumiya said, after another while of silence.
"Thanks…?"
He shrugged his shoulders, and walked past me, heading for the door.
"Oh, and while you're at it, maybe you could ask her what happened," the green-haired bespectacled boy spoke up, as he left.
I sat down on a random seat, and buried my face in my hands. Seriously, what makes him think that I can even get close to Lenka? Obviously the last person she wants to see is me, because I am the root of all of her problems. Staying away from her is a better option.
Despite thinking that, I headed off to the infirmary anyway. I plan to just see whether she was awake, and then apologise to her, and get the hell out of there.
Since it was already five in the evening, most of the students have already left, so the whole school was silent. All that could be heard was the thudding footsteps of mine, and the light drizzle that started a few moments ago.
"Already?" I muttered as I found myself approaching the infirmary. Taking a deep breath, I knocked the door lightly.
"Teto-sa-"
The door swung open. But it was not Teto-san. Instead, it was Tei.
"Rinto…sama?"
"Sama?"
She blushed, and left.
Feeling weird, I entered the room.
To my confusion, Lenka was under the covers, whole body trembling. As I approached her, she shouted, "G…GO AWAY!"
"Lenka, just what happened?"
She stopped trembling, and looked out to see me.
"Rin…Rinto-kun?" she stammered.
*Lenka's P.O.V*
"Just calm down and tell me what happened," he said, as I started crying again.
Despite everything, I buried my face in his shirt. He patted my head lightly, murmuring comforting things like, "It's alright".
"Can you tell me what happened here?" he asked, after I calmed down.
"She told me to stay away from you. That's all. I just over-reacted. Again. Not that it concerns you," I replied, as I pushed him away.
"…You're keeping something from me."
"No, really, I'm just really tired and I over-reacted again. So I think you can lea-"
"I'm not leaving."
"What?"
" I said, I'm not leaving."
He stared at me, eyes pleading for something. I just looked back at him, at a loss for words at that moment.
"Tell me Lenka, what exactly happened? I want to know."
"This would include some explanation from me too, then."
"Explanation for WHAT?"
I took a deep breath.
"The past, of course."
*Rinto's P.O.V*
"Well, it all started when we were in elementary school. You, being the nicest and most handsome guy in our class, practically had EVERYONE'S (yes, including the guys') attention on you. I'm not implying that I like you," she paused, while glaring at me slightly. I stiffened, and apologized, although I did not know why I did so.
"Anyway, I was (obviously) one of those people who would stare at these sort of people, and think, why and how did HE even get everyone's attention? He is not even THAT stunningly good-looking. So, as a result from that, I was the loner of the class. Or maybe even the entire cohort. So one day, you approached me. And you asked for my name. I, being absolutely BAD at talking to people, stiffened and just ignored you, while walking away. Then, because apparently you could not take this sort of … attention, you just started calling me names. And you might think that is not a very major thing. However, the names that you called me, were things to do with me not being raised as a good kid or have mental problems and stuff like that. And as a result, everyone automatically assumed that I had something wrong with me, like I had mental issues, or maybe even an abusive family… I don't know. But what I do know is that after this incident, I swore to myself that I wouldn't speak to anyone if possible. Do you see why I simply detest people like YOU?" she looked at me accusingly, as she raised her hand, extending a finger while poking my chest.
I couldn't react. I did that in elementary school?
"I'm so sorry Lenka, but I can't rememb-"
"OF COURSE YOU DON'T YOU ASS. YOU OBVIOUSLY THINK THAT IT WAS JUST A NORMAL AND FUNNY JOKE. YOU NEVER UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE BULLIED BY THE ENTIRE COHORT. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WAKE UP EVERYDAY THINKING OF HOW TO EVEN GET THROUGH THE DAY WITH ALL SORTS OF COMMENT ABOUT YOU HAVING AN ABUSIVE FAMILY (WHICH IN THE FIRST PLACE ISN'T TRUE). ALL YOU DO IS GET EVERY SINGLE FREAKING PERSON'S ATTENTION ON YOU LIKE A HOT MOVIE STAR OR SOMETHING. YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW I FEEL. YOU NEVER CAN. SO DON'T TRY TO TAKE PITY ON ME, BECAUSE I WILL HATE YOU MORE." She took a deep breath, and for a moment amazement filled through me as I wondered how she managed to say that entire speech in front of me with taking a single breath. Then guilt washed over me, like a dark wave.
"Leave, Rinto Kagamine, and I hope that I don't have to cross paths with you again."
The silence of the room became deafening. My heart was palpitating even quicker than before. I could even hear my own heart beats as I stared at Lenka's glaring face. Her glare had so much intensity that I almost went to my knees and begged her for forgiveness. Although I was tempted to do that, that ice-cold attitude towards me from her would never accept such apology. Then I slowly got up, and bowed deeply.
"I apologise for what I did. I may not sound sincere, and this may not be enough, but I'm doing what I can now. Also, if you want me by your side (which I highly doubted so but didn't say that), I'll be there. I will always be there for you," I said as I turned around and headed towards the door.
Was it my imagination, or was she crying at that moment?
As much as I wanted to find out, I could not turn back.
My thudding footsteps was the only thing that was audible as I exited Lenka's life.
AAAAAANNNNDDDDD DONE(for this chapter)!
What do you think will happen next? ;)
Anyway, hope you liked it. Again, please R&R! I am willing to listening to your reviews!
For now, Ja ne! ^W^
