Chapter 11: Will I suffer the same fate?
"Hi Uo!"
"Oh...Hi Tohru..."
"Why do you sound so depressed? Are you troubled?" Tohru patted Uo's head.
Hence, Uo told Tohru about how she confessed to a senior about her feelings for him but was rejected.
"Oh my...don't be discouraged Uo, maybe he is just not the right one for you. It's his loss for making the wrong choice."
"Maybe..." Uo turned away with her eyes fixed onto the tiles of the floor.
************************************************************************
"Poor Uo...I hope she can get over this as quickly as possible. It won't be nice if this affects her academic work." Tohru thought as she turned her head to look at Uo's dejected face. "But then again, this kind of things are hard to explain. Something are just uncontrollable, especially when it comes to feelings..."
The following lesson was History. Many of the students fell asleep during this period and some who tried to keep themselves awake were constantly yawning away.
Uo passed a note to Tohru and Hana, telling them that her mind was in a swirl then and she was feeling like a total wreck. Despite the consoling Tohru and Hana gave to Uo, she was still depressed.
After school, Hana and Tohru went over to Uo's house. After three whole hours of consoling, the two girls were finally persuaded by Uo that she would not do anything silly and that they could return back to their homes with peace.
************************************************************************
"It really is difficult to like a person and hope for that person to like you..." Tohru strolled her way home. "Would that happen to me too? Would I be rejected one day? Would..."
"I'm home!"
"Welcome back, Honda-san. How was your talk with Uo? Is she feeling better?" Yuki said.
"Eh? How did you know about this?"
"The whole school knows. And besides, I'm resourceful." Yuki joked.
"Darn! Now Uo's reputation would be ruined." Tohru said under her breadth.
After washing up, Tohru climbed up the roof, seeming to be overwhelmed by her own thoughts.
"Hi Kyo."
"Let me guess. You're troubled again, right?"
"Well, more or less...people always wish that they could be with the person they like. But it's just so difficult for that to happen..." Tohru's eyes were brimming with her tears.
"You like someone?"
"No...it's not me...it's Uo. Seeing how troubled she was over this matter makes me discouraged too. I'm afraid that someday it would happen to me too."
"Don't worry...if you ever like someone, just tell me. I'll help you." Kyo smiled warmly at Tohru.
"Thank you, Kyo."
"Actually, I kind of feel jealous when I see couples of our age together on the streets. Being part of the cursed Sohmas, I can only look at them with deep envy. Moreover, who would like a cat like me?" Kyo said as he sulked with his head bowed, hoping that Tohru would not see his weak personality.
"If no one would like you, what about the girls of our school? They like you. In fact, when it comes to popularity, I think you are on par with Yuki." Tohru smiled.
"They don't know my real form, a cat. All they see and like is a bishounen* with orange hair."
"Let's not talk about this saddening topic. It's getting kind of late. Come on. Let's return inside."
Tohru's sudden change of topic made Kyo hesitate for a moment. Then he agreed. Feeling that it was the right thing to do, Kyo led Tohru into her room and tucked her into bed.
"Good night..." Kyo's voice faded away as he closed the door. ~*~*~*~*~*~
