Chapter 10: I love and hate you

Tsumugi Tanaka, Kuuga and Sakura's middle child, stared at the two bickering people in front of her, waiting for them to make out after their daily fight, as they always did. For her, those two were really perfect for each other, even though they acted like cats and dogs every single day. She was already used to this, so Tsumugi simply continued on mopping their classroom's floor while planning on which cake shop to go to this afternoon.

"Damn it! You could've just called me last night and our project would already be done with by now! But no! Because all you did was play that damned PSP of yours and spending the whole damn night trying to defeat the boss monster! And now what? What exactly have you earned from defeating that damn boss monster? NOTHING!"

"For your information, I was the first damn person in the whole damn world to defeat the boss monster you're talking about! The game's company promised to give a reward to the first person who did so! And that was me! I earned a damn hundred dollars and the sequel game! And I'm the first person to ever play the damn sequel! And our project being a mess wasn't exactly my fault! You relied on me to finish that damn project! Admit it, woman, you're as lazy as I am!"

"How dare you? Now you're comparing me to your laziness when I'm always in the library doing my damn research work for our paper in Chemistry? And you're practically doing nothing! Not even a damn question of concern if I'm doing okay with our damn paper! NO! You don't even care at all! You're always facing that damn PSP that if it was only human you would've already married it ages ago! And how about that art project we had last week! I spent each second of my weekend making that damn mosaic thing! We're supposed to be partners for that damn project and you didn't even thank me when I pityingly just wrote your damn name in the project submitters!"

"HECK! You want a damn thank you, well here!"

And with that, Tsumugi simply looked away awkwardly. She didn't want to see the two eating each other's face out. They must also have already forgotten that another person was still in the room.

Tsumugi sighed, put the mop back to the closet, picked up her bag, and turned her head to the direction of the two after placing her hand fully over her eyes.

"Hikari-chan, when you're finished with that I'll just be at the gate, 'kay?" she said, and left the classroom.

Hikari hastily inhaled wonderful oxygen into her lungs the moment their kiss broke apart. Her face was awfully red and her cheeks were burning up, then she looked straight at his deep blue eyes.

"Damn it," she muttered, still panting for air.

"You're welcome."

Leaning on the wall beside the school gates, Tsumugi was busy texting, or rather, passing out information.

After finding his name on her Contacts, she pressed send. A minute later, her phone beeped.
