Chapter 8
Manta walked down the street the sun rising in the sky beautifully. He closed his eyes the crisp wind blew through his pumpkin shaded hair. He looked at the sky as he continued to walk. Last night had been rough. He could hardly stop from tossing and turning. His heart ached as he almost reached the school doors. He was early. Yoh would not be there for another 10 minutes. He sighed heavily as he walked through the hallway to homeroom. He closed his eyes once more as he imagined Yoh's happy voice calling out to him. He hung his head and stared at the floor.
" Would it be the same as yesterday?" Manta sighed heavily
He reached his desk and hopped up onto the chair. He looked straight ahead of him not saying a word staring at the chalk board. He held his dictionary close to him as he squeezed his eyes shut he could hear footsteps draw closer to him.A warm hand rested itself on his head. His eyes opened and he looked up. Yoh was there. He smiled weakly as he sat down and once again just like yesterday. Manta sighed sadly.
*~ But..he touched me and smiled...he must care...or feel pity...oh Yoh-kun...I...*~ a tear ran down Manta's face as he looked down at his dictionary flipping through the pages without even really looking. His ear twitched as he could hear Yoh let out a soft sigh.
"Are....You ok...?" the words pushed forcefully out of Manta's lips as he nuzzled his head into his chest avoiding any eye contact.
"mmm......" Yoh closed his eyes with a sound of frustration almost sad. As class started Manta could not contain himself the thoughts running through his mind. The anguish in his heart.
"WHY!!!???" Manta yelled out in desperation tears running down his childlike face. The class stood silent staring at him in shock. Manta choked slightly placing his hands over his eyes and biting down on his lip.
"I....I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT I CAN'T!!! WHY YOH-KUN WHY!!!!???" Manta looked him in the eyes quickly and jumped off his chair falling onto his face and getting up quickly as he ran out of the room leaving his dictionary behind.
"Manta-chan....." Yoh said softly his eyes dialated a look of horror on his face. Yoh stood up almost zombie like and looked at his teacher.
" I think....I may go home early.." He said walking towards the door opening it and shutting it softly behind him. He walked down the long hallway and halted as he caught a glance at the juice and soda machine. He puched the buttons after putting his money in and grabbed a cold melon Soda from it.
" Manta...chan.." he squeezed his eyes shut feeling agonizing pain in his chest. The soda can dropped to the floor. Yoh's eyes widened and closed as he too dropped to his knees and wept.
" I'm so sorry......" He clutched his head phones.
