'You like him don't you?' Those were Riku's first words to me. Naturally, my first instinct was to lie. 'I have no clue what you're talking about,' I told him. He said I did. Of course I did. Axel. That's who he meant. I told Riku that I didn't. He told me to 'cut the crap.' So I did. I told him I didn't know how I felt about Axel. Riku told me to stop lying to myself. I don't know book, I didn't want to talk about Axel. Not really. I know what's going on, of course I do. Doesn't mean I have to admit it. The whole talk really got me thinking about Axel all day and I didn't like it. I could tell that I was blushing or smiling like a stupid girl at the most random of times. My stomach would churn whenever I thought of being close to him. So of course when lunch came around, I made it a point to eat with Naminé so I wouldn't have to see Axel. Then came art. I debated going to my lit teacher's class. He had a class then, but I could have stayed in his office. I made my way all the way to his classroom, but when the bell rang, something was pulling me to the art room. And pulled me it did. Thirteen minutes later, but I was there no less. But then I went and did something stupid. I took the seat at the empty table I used to sit at, put my head down, and waited for the bell to ring. I knew Axel was watching me since I'm pretty sure anyone would be able to feel those bright forest-coloured eyes boring into them. It made me uncomfortable, sure, but sitting with him would make it worse. I didn't really want to talk to him. I mean I did want to talk to him. I like talking to him and all, but I just… couldn't. You know what I mean? No… you probably don't, huh? I can't wait for the school year to be over.
