Nina lay on her bed, staring up at the ceiling. Her little gray cat jumped up, changing into a boy before he hit the floor. Sitting on the bed, his eyes that were usually sparkling with mischief were worried.
"What's wrong, Nina?" he asked her. Nina sighed. "It's nothing... well, actually, it's because everything is so confusing when it comes to boys!"
"You mean I'm confusing?" he asked, trying to make her laugh.
"No... I mean boyfriends and crushes. I need to be alone for awhile. Thanks anyway." Nina turned her face away.
What was happening? Everything had been so simple and fun before! Everything had seemed so easy to fix... and boys had seemed so easy to understand!
A small smile reached her lips as she remembered the feeling of Tsujiai's kiss. Then the tears came. "Why did I have to go to our classroom at lunchtime?" she said to herself, crying. "Why did I have to get a book from my locker? Why did I... Why did I have to see Tsujiai and Maya!?!" she grabbed a pillow to muffle her sobs. The last thing she needed was for someone to notice.
It was all so clear in her mind. One of her classmates had joined her for lunch, and asked to see a book that Nina had in her locker. Nina hadn't found the book in her locker, so she had gone to the classroom. And there... Tsujiai and Maya had been locked in a tight embrace.
"What if Nina sees us?" Maya had said. "It doesn't matter." Tsujiai said. "I want to be with you now because you need help. I can tell her later, and she will understand."
Nina sat up. Tsujiai wasn't worth crying for anymore. He was a worm. And she never wanted to talk to him again. She wiped her tears away and walked briskly to her dresser, where she took out an extra shirt. She froze. A picture of Tsujiai was on top of the dresser. Reaching out a trembling hand, she put the picture face down.
She needed to see Ayu. She went downstairs and was about to open the door when Ayu herself burst in, sobbing. Nina's tears came flowing again. The two girls just cried there, standing and hugging each other. When they had calmed down, they went up to Nina's room.
"So Kaji's mad at you?" Nina asked, taking a tissue from the box beside her. Ayu nodded. "And you're mad at Tsujiai?" She asked. Nina sniffed and nodded, and the two girls hugged again.
The next day at school, Kaji didn't look at Ayu. Mark steered her around like he always did, talking a lot to her. She began to feel comfortable with him, but that didn't push away the pain she always felt when she thought of Kaji.
Nina ignored Tsujiai completely. When the day was finally over, Ayu went straight to her house, but Nina had to put a few books back in her locker. She slammed her locker door and headed for the exit.
Their classroom wasn't empty. She could hear two voices inside it. She stopped just outside the closed door and put her ear to it. Tsujiai and Mark were talking.
"Man, I'm sorry she's mad. Just give her time." "I know. I wanted to tell her about Maya's pet dying. I didn't know she saw us. And I certainly didn't hug her because we're boyfriend and girlfriend or anything." Nina gasped. Tsujiai hadn't been cheating on her! Relief flowed through her mind. Tsujiai started talking again. "Why is Kaji mad at Ayu? He barely glances at her anymore." Tsujiai asked. Mark threw up his hands and gave an exasperated sigh. "He thinks Ayu's going out with me. Sure, I thought that she was cute at first, but I'd never steal someone else's girl." Tsujiai nodded, and Mark spoke again.
"I asked Ayu if she could hang out with me, just as friends. Now both she and Kaji think it's dating! I don't know what to do. Kaji goes away when I go near him and Ayu's acting like a stone. I just hope the whole thing will be all right when I go back home tomorrow." Nina gasped and ran. She had to tell Kaji and Ayu right away.
Yes, yes, I know. This chapter is incredibly short. But it has good news, eh?
Thanks for reading! PLEASE review!
