Chapter 12

Anna walked slowly down the corridor. As she walked ahead the juice machine was in clear view. She sighed.

" I guess I could get some juice..." She looked over at it. " Or Soda...I hardly ever have that stuff.." She sighed closing her eyes and walking up to the machine. She put some coins in and aggressively mashed the button. Out popped a melon soda. She stared at it for a while.

" Yoh...don't you...love me anymore?" she thought kneeling down to grab the soda. She knew he didn't love her that way at all, well now she did, He had always been unusually close to Manta and she hated Manta for it. The thought of them being together made her blood boil. There was no way to be mature about a situation such as this. It wasn't her fault their parents arranged them to marry they never asked for it. In the end..no matter how mean or harsh she could be..she still loved Yoh. She could have never ever thought Yoh would fall for another boy. It's happened though even if he won't admit it she knew it was true.



She pushed the plastic down hard and watched the glass ball fall to the middle. Drinking her soda she walked twords the lunch room.

Yoh sighed as he walked to an empty table, even the smell of his curry udon couldn't make him happy. Where was Manta? He skimmed through the tables but there was no trace of him. Whats happened to him.

" Oh god..." He felt a chill run down his spine as he thought of how Mr. Oyamada would react to Manta missing school. He squeezed his eyes shut shaking out the thought and turned on his walkman. He sighed eating his noodles and feeling slightly relaxed by the sound of Bob Marley. Finishing his lunch Yoh slowly dozed off.

Anna stood up from her seat close to the door and walked out ignoring the fact she could see Yoh still asleep as everyone else was leaving for class.

Anna frowned walking down the corridor once more.

Manta walked down the hallway quickly eating the contents of a bento box. His stomach churned as he caught glimps of Anna. His heart raced. He was so scared of facing Yoh and Anna that he had stayed in study hall all morning.
