Hurt

A Note: I found myself getting off track on the plot. So things might get confusing while I try to twist the story back in place. Please don't get impatient, because I'm also realizing I'm submitting a lot of chaps. Maybe it's time I try to make my chaps longer. But please keep on reading! And also, I don't mind if you give advice or criticize my work, because I like to have something to improve my writing. So please submit reviews if you can! Thanks!

Karin immediately sent her hand flying across his face, making a loud, sharp, crack. She got up quickly, taking a few wobbly steps back. Her legs felt weak and everything was spinning and blurry.

Micchi was still in shock, staring at her.

Karin was ready to cry again, but there had been too many tears fallen and there were no more to spare. I like you, Micchi, but only as a friend. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I came to you. It must've been painful for you. I'm so sorry… Micchi… I didn't mean to…

Micchi looked as if she had shot a bullet at him. He looked hurt, but also guilty. He made the same mistake again. He felt the hot stinging pain on his cheek where she had slapped him. He didn't mean to do that… but that second… he couldn't…

They just stared at each other in silence. Karin whispered, "I'm sorry Micchi." …about what? The misunderstanding? The slap?

Then she turned and ran blindly. How come every turn, every twist, she came to a problem? She meant to just talk to Micchi. But she was so insensitive. She knew he liked her. She encouraged him. It was her fault. All her fault.

Now she not only had Kazune-kun's problem on her mind, but now also Micchi's. She had heartlessly hurt him. She won't talk to Micchi ever again, she decided. It was for the best.

She stopped, and looked up at the darkening sky. She laughed bitterly. Now… now she really was alone. Kazune-kun… you were wrong… and I… was at last… right.

:::::::I personally really like the last part, although, in a way, this chapter makes Karin seem a little suicidal or something.:::::::
