Unspoken Feelings
After that 'eventful' day, Fujima and Hoshiko indeed improved each other's opinion of the other. Maybe partially due to this, they maintained a 'peaceful' atmosphere for up to two weeks. Nothing much happened, other than some small crossfire that was extinguished with the passing of time.
It had been two weeks since Hoshiko joined the school and she seemed to be settling quite well. Most teachers liked this easy-going girl, other than one.
It was a fine morning (dot dot dot) and the first lesson which they were having was a subject(just think of a subject you loath) which everyone welcomed but Fujima dreaded it. His face turned slightly pale and he kept on swallowing his saliva.
" Seldom do I see you so scared ne, did you forget to do your homework? " Inquired busybody Hoshiko, 'abnormally' concerned for him.
Just then, a lady in flowery dress and heavy make-up stepped in. Fujima's face cringed even more while Hoshiko was still deep in puzzlement. It was Ms. ABC teaching __________ (think of any subject you hate). A noisy shuffling of chairs and the monotonous greeting ensured. However, the teacher only flashed a wide smile at Fujima. This teacher was an average looking lady who was as normal as anyone else, other than her deep obsession.
She gestured the class to sit before asking them to refresh their memory of the previous lessons, singling Fujima out only. She would be very engrossed his monotonous 'speech', praising him for no apparent reason. Whenever this happened, there would only be 'Fujima' in her eyes and she would be oblivious to the others. Hence, the others enjoyed this lesson as they could slack as much as they liked, at the expense of Fujima's suffering.
Then she made Fujima read from the textbook while looking at him with those love struck eyes and indulged in his voice. ( Poor Fujima!) Fujima try to maintain his feign smile(which complicated matters actually) though he was deeply uncomfortable. On other times, she would always single Fujima to complete the questions on the board, then put a big tick against the answer, not even looking at it and praised him like no body's business.
Hoshiko gave a soft chuckle at understanding Fujima's fear and dread. She thought, " Haha, so there is someone whom he is even more afraid of. He is indeed 'popular'. Haha."
After finishing the passage, the teacher's attention was diverted to Hoshiko. Her smile suddenly changed into a frown but she covered it quickly.
" Oh, there is a new classmate in the class! Sitting NEXT to (my) Fujima.( she nearly muttered the word 'my') You are soooo Lucky! Introduce yourself." The teacher said curtly.
"Huh? Oh okay." Hoshiko was a little taken aback.
Everyone in the class tried hard not to laugh and they all pitied Hoshiko secretly. The seat beside Fujima had always been empty and this teacher would happily plant herself next to him coaching him personally though he needed none. Now that Hoshiko was sitting there, an unsuppressed sense of jealousy overcame the teacher. Fujima suddenly felt a sense of relief when he thought about the teacher's ''plight''. He would rather bicker with Hoshiko the whole day rather than suffer with the teacher 'feasting' on him.
Most would have thought it would be a hard day for Hoshiko but it was the opposite.
"Hoshiko, may I ask you what is __________________?"
"____________(the correct answer)_________________" It gained a round of applause from the class but the teacher was not giving up. A round of tensed exchange of question and answer began and everyone became excited. All the while, Hoshiko answered all the given questions correctly and that made the teacher annoyed. She(teacher) was unable to find any flaw in her answer even after thorough checking.
Hoshiko was getting a little bored and tired of the teacher's frequent picking on her and could understand a little how Fujima always felt during the teacher's lesson. However, it was a different feeling as the teacher's purpose for each were the opposite.
The teacher's smile changed into a frown and it ended with a scowl at the end of the lesson. The teacher disliked Hoshiko even more now. However, the class was enjoying seeing the teacher exasperated look and her change in mood.
On the final note, the teacher could not bear with it anymore and gave them work to do. When she left the class, totally pissed off, Fujima was heaving a sigh of relief. Though Hoshiko had caused him many times of anger, she helped him get rid of a teacher who was overly obsessed with him and he secretly thanked her for that.
The class crowded around their tables immediately after the teacher left, commenting that Hoshiko was Fujima 's saviour blah blah blah but Hoshiko was baffled. However, when she saw Fujima's relieved look, she felt a weird sense of contentment.

The minute hand on the school clock struck five before the noisy bell rang to its heartfelt content. The sky had turned to a suffused mixture of pink and purple, a beautiful sight if anyone bothered to admire.
Hoshiko walked out of the school gate, towards the bus stop before settling down. She looked around but felt bored, so she took out a book to read. She had stayed back in school to research on her project in the library and overshot the time, explaining her late 'dismissal'.
Just then, a guy in green jersey, with a towel hanging around his neck, came walking towards the bus stop. He perspired profusely and was gulping down a bottle of water to quench his thirst. On seeing the girl, he nearly choked on the water.
Being someone who was very sensitive to her surroundings, Hoshiko looked up suddenly. However, her surprise was quickly replaced with irk and displeasure. She returned to her book instead.
Due to the fact that Hoshiko had indirectly helped him today, Fujima felt a little grateful and did not want to start another argument. He threw himself on another bench and stared at the sky. An awkward silence hung in the air for a few minutes.
" Isn't the sky beautiful?" he tried to break the 'ice'.
There was no response from Hoshiko who concentrated on reading her book. However, a few seconds later, she murmured " Childish."
Fujima immediately turned his attention towards Hoshiko but it ended up on the book Hoshiko was reading.
"Eh!? Harry Potter? Haha, I bet you girls would go 'crazy' over it. It's quite nice though. I like Ron, he's so comical! What bout you?"
It seemed as if the words ' Harry Potter' had dismissed all the past grudges between them and Hoshiko replied, " Ron? I prefer Harry. Ok ok, I know you are going to blabber about it but I still like him. Gee, actually, the Professor Dumbledore seems to be nicest among all."
Then, an amicable conversation ensured, considered miracle though. However, just as they were chatting happily and were so engrossed,
" Chottomate." Hoshiko paused and was deep in thoughts for a few moments. " Why did I talk to you?"
Fujima just shrugged his shoulders. Hoshiko blinked her eyes several time, and at a loss of how to react, she turned in another direction before continuing on her book.
" So do you still want the book?" Hoshiko had asked to borrow the new book that had just been released from Fujima. There was no reply. Fujima shrugged his shoulders again.
After a few minutes, though it seemed like eternity, the bus finally came. It is either bad luck or good luck that both happen to take the same bus. Suddenly reminded of that embarrassing incident a few weeks ago, Hoshiko felt her face flush a little. She quickly found a seat next to a window before plodding down. Fujima walked passed and hesitated a few moment before the seat next to Hoshiko but he moved to the rear eventually. Hoshiko's mind was in a whirl: she did not want Fujima to sit next to her but she had enjoyed the conversation they had just before........
Just as Hoshiko was debating with herself, someone took a sit next to her and gave her a fright.
"Er, you don't mind me sitting here? No more seats behind." Fujima asked.
"Suit you."
Hoshiko did not mind Fujima's company actually, it was just too difficult for her to admit. She was admiring the scenery outside while Fujima was deep in thoughts. Silence prevailed once again but it was a comfortable and peaceful one though.
" Urm, well, thank you for the help today," Fujima finally voiced out what he wanted to say all the while.
However, just then, someone pressed the bell which nearly drowned his voice.
" Huh? Did you talk to me?" A blur Hoshiko replied.
" Oh, nothing, nothing."
Hoshiko stared at Fujima for a few seconds but turned to admire the scene again. Fujima nearly slapped his forehead but he decided to keep mum. The bus continued with its journey and it was a while before Fujima's stop.
Just before he got down the bus, Hoshiko muttered a " Your welcome!"
Fujima caught her words and was about to turn his head but Hoshiko was looking outside the window again. However, he unconsciously smiled to himself and in his heart, he felt a sense of joy.
