Confused
April 4, Thursday afternoon
-=MITSUI=-
Looks like they're all surprised.
Alaina looks really adorable smiling like that... so natural.
And it's for me. Just me!
I can't imagine how lucky I am if we become together…
Her in my arms, smiling innocently, staring straight into my eyes… I can almost feel her. Her scent, her skin, her laughter, her eyes…
*Bam*
"Aww..."
Who the fuckin' fag??
-=RUKAWA=-
Do'aho.
Not my fault… He's standing under the basket.
And it's time for practice. Doing a dunk isn't illegal.
-=AYAKO=-
Hey. I thought he was sleeping??
I don't think anyone can wake up, get to practice and do a dunk at once in that instant.
And what's with the attitude?
Hmm… something's really fishy here.
I wonder what it's gotta do with Mitsui-sempai.
-=ALAINA=-
"You okay?" I helped him up.
Oh God.
Hisashi's head is bleeding.
And it's all because of that lousy butt-faced Rukawa.
Damn him.
"What the fucking hell were you thinking, asshole??"
I suddenly felt anger rushed through my veins… and for the first time, I can't control it.
He didn't say anything… more like just staring, then turned his back on us.
"Yeah. Like you can goddamn talk!"
I glared at him my sharpest glare, turned my attention to Hisashi and ushered him to walk.
"Common. It might be bad. I'll take you to the clinic."
-=SENDOH=-
I was just nearing the doors of the gym when I suddenly heard someone's angry shouts.
It was kinda scary but I was curious who that was.
Surprisingly, it's Alaina.
Yeah, my best friend… the cool, collected girl I once knew was.
I thought I said I knew her that well? Maybe not.
Well I know calm people have the most probability to freak out this much… but I didn't realize it could hit her.
Guess I was wrong.
But the thing is… the anger exploded wasn't just because of what happened with Mitsui… COULDN'T BE. She's not shallow.
More like something that's trapped in her thoughts for a long time now.
I wonder what that is…
-=MITSUI=-
Whoa!
Alaina cares for me this much?
In that case, I find getting hit again by Rukawa isn't a bad idea at all.
Hehe… Naughty me.
-=RUKAWA=-
Klutz practically yelled and glared at me hard because of that 'aho.
Kuso.
Now what? As if she's the one I hit purposely.
Purposely.
Yeah. Don't ask… there's no reason at all.
But… why do I even feel guilty?
-=ALAINA=-
After almost half an hour staying in the clinic with Hisashi, I finally decided to go home. Anyway, Miyagi volunteered to get him home, as he's nearer Hisashi's house.
While walking, I recalled what had happen that afternoon.
I still can't understand why I did that. It's not like me at all – as if I'm possessed or something.
I haven't lost control of my emotions for as long as I remember.
But a while ago… it's totally different.
I'm confused. Maybe I just don't really like the way that Rukawa acts. He's so cold. I must say I don't really like his guts. The way he makes a fool out of everyone. It sucks.
Yeah, I hate him that much.
Do I?
Well, I know having that kind of impression is totally bad. Worse if you've only known him for a few days… more like, observe him for a few days… but I guess that's the way he really is.
Callous.Or he should have atleast say 'sorry' or something…
He didn't.
What a total jerk.
-=RUKAWA=-
Guess I'm going home early. I lost my mood practicing for extra hours.
And it's that klutz' fault again… if only she didn't freak out that loud.
Coach talked to me after practice and asked me what's wrong.
Like hell, as if it's a big deal.
But why in the first place did you purposely do that? He didn't even do anything… THEY didn't even do anything at all… to you.
I didn't know either. I… I was just…
Jealous??
Urusai! Why the dratted brain would I?
Then give me a valid reason.
I… I…
I don't know.
-=ALAINA=-
Finally. Home atlast!
As expected, Aunt Sandra isn't home yet. Probably at the casino again or something… but that's better. I've been dying to go to my room, sleep, and forget the things that happened this afternoon at practice.
Lots of guts for me… acting like I was Hisashi's girlfriend and shutting the trap out of their precious Rukawa… and I've only met them for four days.
What the hell is happening to me? Now they're thinking I'm a total freak. Two days in school and I already broke my perfectly planned reputation. What a Loser.
Atleast that's a record. And uhuh, I actually planned my reputation. It hasn't reached its climax yet and I'm already toast. Really bad.
I wonder what his sickening groupies will react on that.
Ha! As if I care. They touch me? I'll spank them. Easy. Haha! Yeah, I really got the guts.
And hell, where's the keys?
I searched my pocket, my bag… not here.
No sign of any metal with a Marvin the Martian key chain on it.
Uh-oh. I forgot to get it from aunt!
I sat down slowly, cursing hard.
This. Is. All. Bullshit!
-=SENDOH=-
Oopsie.
I forgot to give Alaina her keys. Well, her aunt gave it to me this morning – the reason why I came over to her school. But it seems like I crammed my thoughts with things…
She's going to kill me.
And it's giving me goose bumps… I haven't seen her like that before.
But she's gonna kill me twice if I don't give her the keys…Ooh. I think once is better.
-=ALAINA=-
It's almost 6 in the evening now and my aunt seems to have no plans in showing up.
I'm getting hungry and the mosquitoes are too… I keep on slapping myself, looking like a total moron because I can't keep the itchiness away.
As I was busy fiddling with my wallet to atleast make myself entertained, I caught a glimpse of a familiar view.
I was seeing sideways so I turned my head to the direction – to my right to be exact.
A silhouette coming towards me…
Really familiar… though I can't seem to see his face because the sunset is blinding my eyes as it's setting on his back.
. . .
and it's with a bike.
. . .
What's he doing here???
-end of chap-
A/N: hey again! Haven't been much of a talker here… obviously. Haha! So I guess this is my chance…
Akira-akuma: You do? Thanks! Just don't think I AM like that… Big NO. Haha! Ofcourse I do brush my teeth! Almost four times a day! And uh… I don't fail to floss it… and I don't forget to bring my breath spray… (Do I sound guilty or something??) Still… I want everyone to know that I regularly brush my teeth. ;p
Ryyan: Really? Don't flatter me that much… might believe it. Haha! Thanks for the review! And sorry if I'm uploading so slow… haven't got much time. Finals are nearing… and I still want to graduate.
Doujin: You like Mitsui? Me too! (Duh! Obviously…) Hmm… just hope I don't get you bored and confused with the next chaps… as I'm getting my brain squeezed out and dehydrated now… big thanks for reviewing!
Metongertz: I really did make you laugh that long?? Whoa! *eyes metongertz warily* hmm… guess it's the truth (Ooh… I got a big head now – out of flattery. Tsk tsk)… and hey, I think we can get along… I can laugh that long too! Thanks!
Mskitsune: Hmm… Rukawa or Mitsui? … Secret po! Hehe… para suspense! Though I think it's getting obvious who the pairings will be… tingin mo? Erk… and thanks po, sobra!
Mitchy: whoo! Totoo ba naman yan? Hehe… joke lang po… actually feeling close ko sa mga nagreview dito… obvious naman ata? kaya yun… sensha na! thanks for the review!
To everyone: I almost left my story unfinished. As in… so thanks so much for all your reviews! I really, truly, honestly appreciate it. Hope you'll not get bored or something… negative remarks are very much accepted. I know I've got some mistakes here. Wrong grammar or something… So don't hesitate to tell me (as if! ^.^).
And the next chaps might take big gaps of time to be uploaded, as I'm getting really busy now… finals are nearing and I think you understand the pressure? I'm graduating this March!!! Haha… (What's the big fuss about??) Nothing much… just wanna grab the opportunity to talk (or type?) this long because I haven't uploaded since… uhh… whenever that was.
Guess that's it. Need to review my notes now… (or review other fanfics??)
Uhh… whatever… that's my business, anyway… and I don't think anyone of you cares… haha! Bye! (^@^)
