Chapter14- Decision Divert
Yes, that was how she was going to say it. Misaki prepared the whole scenario in her mind. She prepared the whole conversation. Soon, as soon as she found a suitable atmosphere she would strike up the conversation with Usui. Everything was ready. Just to wait for the right time.
Now, she was patrolling the corridors of school. The boys cowered at her sight, fear evident with the surroundings. All except a handful of guys were afraid of her. The group who weren't included the Sanbaka, Shintani, Yukimura, Kanou and of course the green-eyed quarter-English blonde Usui Takumi. Well, that was more than a handful. Still, a handful they were.
"Misaki-chan!"
She turned to face the source of the sound. It was Shintani.
"What is it Shintani? You have something to say?" she asked.
"No, not particularly," he said, a goofy smile in place, "I just wanted to see you."
"Well you've seen me now please go back to class; it's almost time for the next class to begin."
"Ayuzawa."
She turned again to face the source of the sound. This time it was Usui.
"U-Usui, what is it?" she asked wondering at his impeccable timing.
"Nothing in particular," he said smiling smugly. "Just wanted to see you."
She blushed at the remark. "Some excuse for roaming the corridors when it's almost time for class. Go back, now," she ordered.
"Wow prez," he said starting to pout, "I'm worried about you and you're here telling me off."
RING!
"Ugh! You made me late for class! Baka Usui! Why do I even bother?!" she said running off toward her class leaving a chuckling Usui behind. She felt bad for saying that later in class. It felt like going against herself. She decided she'd apologize later.
Akari noticed Usui chuckling when he came into class after lunch break. She knew who could've caused that. It made her insides boil again.
"Um… Hana-sama," called an uncertain Yumiko, one of her friends.
"Yumi, how many times have I told you not to call me Hana-sama? Call me Hana-chan, Hana-chan!"
"Y-yes Hana-sama, I-I mean, sorry."
"Anyway, what did you want to say?"
"I just wanted to ask how you were doing with Usui-san. He seems to be overly friendly with kaichou."
"Don't worry I have a remedy for that." She didn't stay up all night last night working at her laptop for nothing. Soon her plans would be in action.
That day, Misaki went to the locker room to pack her stuff and get ready to go home. She had taken the day off today. Satsuki had insisted that she take a break. She unlocked her locker and was just about to open it when Takahashi Yumiko and Satsuma Inoue, class 2-2, came bursting in.
"Kaichou!" they both cried at the top of their voices.
"What happened, Takahashi, Satsuma?" she asked worried.
"It's the boxing club! They left a mess at the base of the stairs and it stinks!" Yumiko cried while Inoue nodded in agreement.
"Those guys have got some guts!" Misaki said cracking her knuckles. "Move over! I'll take care of it!"
When she got there really stinky garbage was found strewn across the base of the staircase. It looked more like the home economics club's work. But when she called and questioned the boxing clubs president he timidly admitted it was his club's fault. (Most of them are first-years. Go figure.)
She spent the next hour making them clean the mess and finally heaved a sigh before returning to the locker room. When she noticed her locker unlocked she lightly smacked her own head. "Silly me, leaving my locker open like that."
She was shocked when she found a white envelope inside addressed to her. It didn't say from who it was. Curious, she quickly packed her bag and opened it. Inside it was a small letter and another smaller envelope.
She opened the letter to read it only to find that, instead of being hand-written (as she expected) it had a printed font, just like the top of the envelope.
Then without further ado, she started reading it.
Dear Miss Ayuzawa,
I give you this because I have your best concern at heart. I do not want you to do anything rash without looking at all the sides. And please bear in mind that this is for the best.
Please do not open the smaller envelope unless you are alone in your bedroom.
Best Regards.
Once more she was shocked that it did not contain a signature. "Best concern", "for the best" what did these phrases signify?
She quickly put the envelope inside her bag and made her way back home. She was little disappointed when she didn't find Usui waiting for her at the gate. He hadn't even mentioned anything about any errands. She wondered where he was.
A hand tapped her shoulder and she was brought out of her trance. She turned around only to face the blonde and heat immediately rushed to her cheeks.
"You were thinking about me again weren't you Ayuzawa?" he asked smirking.
"N-no! who said that?" she asked wondering how he read minds so easily.
"I'm a pro Ayuzawa, I understand," came his reply. This caused her to blush a deeper color which caused him to chuckle which in turn earned him a completely unprecedented smack on the head.
"Baka Usui!"
"Come on Misa-chan, let's get you home." He wondered at how easily she blushed these days. It usually took what she called 'perverted gestures' to get her that flustered. But either way he liked it.
He walked her home. The walk was awkwardly silent, especially for Misaki. A part of her was telling her to go ahead with the confession. But another part was holding her back, telling her it wasn't the right time, telling her it wasn't the right mood. When they reached the gates Misaki felt like she had let a perfect opportunity slip past.
"Usui, I have something to tell you," she said starting to get impatient. At that moment Shintani showed up with a box full of vegetables.
"Misaki-chan! Grandpa sent some vegetables so I thought I'd bring some over," he called from a few yards away.
"I think what you want to say has to wait, Misa-chan," he said so only she could hear. He had an all knowing smile on which made her blush. "Well, I'll be going now. See you around Ayuzawa!" he said in his normal voice and then walked off with a backward glance.
By then Shintani had already made it to where she was. They went inside together.
"Well that's nice! I haven't seen both of you come together in a while now!" Minako said cheerfully. "Usui-san didn't come Misaki?"
"Actually mom, he walked me home. I got a little late because some boys made a mess," Misaki xplained.
"You-kun brought vegetables!" came Suzuna's mechanical exclamation.
"Misaki, you should go up and get fresh. We'll put dinner together by then," Minako promised flashing a sweet smile.
As if on cue Misaki's stomach grumbled. "Yes please!" she said also flashing a smile. She then went to her room and took a shower. While she was drying her hair she remembered the envelope she had found.
She put her towel away and rummaged in her bag until she found it. She whipped it out and re-read the letter several times. Again those two phrases caught her attention. Then she opened the smaller envelope. At had a picture and another letter in it. She decided to look at the picture first.
As soon as she looked at it her eyes widened to saucers. Anger and pain boiled inside her.
It was a picture of Usui passionately kissing a girl. She was in a very revealing bikini and he was in his shorts. It was at the beach. She recognized the girl. She was one of those who were constantly trying to impress him at the time they had gone to visit Nagisa-san's shop. She even recognized Usui's shorts. Those were the ones he wore on the day of the volleyball match.
She whipped out the letter and started reading.
Kaichou,
I know this hurts but it's true. I saw it with my own eyes. And it's not just her. There are many other girls out there who will tell you the same thing. Please consider all the odds before you do anything. The rumor that Usui-san is a player isn't just a rumor.
Your well wisher
Tears were streaming down her face. How could she have fallen for such an obvious trap? All men are the same after all.
now u guys guess who did that moreover what should i do with that girl! R&R please!
