The Fall of Miki

Note: At this point I had only read to Book 4 so don't be mean if I didn't mention something important. Thank you.

Miki was walking to school alone. Yuu had left with Miwa a while ago. Everything with Yuu was perfect. Now that Ginta was out of the way, she could have Yuu all to herself. She sighed in relief now that a lot of weight had been lifted from her shoulders. Right about now, everything was going all right. That is, until she got to school.

She walked down the hallway to her first class and couldn't help but notice kids snickering in the hallways as she strolled.

"Hey Miki," called a stranger "your quite a busy girl, aren't you?"

"What's THAT supposed to mean?!" she retorted.

"Oh I think you know what I mean." He said attempting to muffle his laughter. He then skipped to the rest of his friends as they all chuckled.

Miki walked into her classroom with her face the color of a turnip from embarrassment. She sat down at her usual desk. Her friends did not approach her. They simply stared at her along with the rest of the class. She noticed that Ginta was blushing.

After class she approached Ginta.

"I have a weird feeling that people are giving me strange looks." She said.

"Oh." Ginta said shortly as he sped up quickly leaving Miki behind.

Miki halted in the middle of the hallway as she watched Ginta stiffly shuffle down the hallway as fast as he could. This was happening all too fast. What was going on? All this confusion was giving her a migraine. She winced as she quickly dashed to the nurse's office (ever notice that she goes to the nurse's office a lot?). The nurse of course made her lay down on the bed. She attempted to figure out what was going on as her head throbbed in pain. Everyone was avoiding her, she hadn't done anything. She rolled over with aggravation. She decided that she could try to sort things out in class, besides, she was probably missing out on some important class work. She sauntered onto her English class.

Nachan was at the board discussing something on prepositions as Meiko was staring at him with a flirty glint in her eye. Miki shrugged and thought longer about the predicament she was in. She decided to talk to Meiko about this situation. She walked up to Meiko after class and asked

"Have you noticed that everyone has been avoided me?"

"No," she sputtered quickly "w-why do y-you ask?"

Miki eyed Meiko suspiciously "It just seems like it." She said slowly.

"Hey, I gotta go, see ya later." She gasped in a panicked voice.

Miwa was chasing her down the hallway Miki grabbed him by the collar.

"What's wrong with Meiko?" she demanded.

"Miki! Hi! Um, nothing, bye!" he said hesitantly.

Miwa continued to follow Meiko down the hallway.

Miki shivered at the thought of her friends hiding something from her. It couldn't be. Meiko had been best friends with Miki since middle school. The coldness crept through her body as she tried to make sense of this whole dilemma. What to do? At one point three boys were fighting for her affection. What was going on?

The day continued awkwardly as everyone gave her strange looks. Miki couldn't take it anymore, after school someone was going to give her an explanation. She planned on interrogating Meiko first. The bell rang.

"Meiko! What have you done to me? I know this has something to you!!!" Miki cried in a raspy voice. She couldn't scream very well when her eyes were burning with tears.
Meiko walked quickly from the courtyard, ignoring her question.

"MEIKO!!!!" she cried. She collapsed to the ground as her tears gushed down her cheeks uncontrollably. "Why?" she whispered to herself in a sorrowful voice. She rose uneasily and dashed home.

Yuu was alarmed by the wailing sobs of Miki. She ran up to room and slammed the door behind her. Miki and Yuu's mother gave each other concerned glances as the started to go up the stairs to see what was the matter.

"It's OK, I'll handle it." Yuu said gently pushing them aside.

Yuu knocked on the door softly.

"GO AWAY!!!!" screamed Miki at the top of her lungs.

"It's me, Yuu, do you want to talk?" he asked.
"Only if you can tell why everyone hates me and why people are making fun of me!" she hollered as more tears streamed down her face.

"Maybe I can help." Yuu said slowly.

It was too late, Yuu has snuck in before Miki could reply.

"I don't know what's going on, but I can find out." Yuu continued.

"Yeah, you better do that!" she snarled.

"At least say please, no wonder Meiko hates you." He snapped.

Wrong answer. Miki through a fit and screamed so loud she squeaked in a high pitched shrill. She began to throw nearby objects at Yuu. Yuu wisely ran out of the room before someone got hurt (mainly him).

Later that night Miki's tears finally began to dry. Yuu thought she was overreacting. Miki then wrote this in her journal:

My world is crumbling apart Everything has gone hay-wire I don't know how it start Just the thought makes me tire

Please forgive me What did I strain? There's no place to flee I must face the pain

YAY!!! Angst! Drama! w00t! Please review! But try not to be a meanie poop! *does cart wheel*
