Chapter FIVE – Anonymous
VALENTINES DAY
Tohru was entering her Math classroom and immediately, the first thing that she saw were the three girls approaching her with snotty looks. She steeled herself up and looked them in the eye, still being as polite as possible,
"Good morning."
The three girls ignored her greeting and the leader held out her hand asking obnoxiously,
"Where is my bracelet?"
Tohru's eyes lowered and then she lifted them again,
"You… lied to me about it."
The girls raised an eyebrow at her and the leader let her hand fall back to her hips as an evil grin curled up on her lips,
"So you finally caught on."
Tohru shook her head and then looked at them with shining eyes, wanting an honest answer,
"Why do you hate me so much? What have I done to you?"
The leader waggled her index finger right in front of Tohru's face and snapped,
"Because we don't particularly like loser girls who think they're all cool and popular. Plus, Kyo is mine, got it?"
Tohru frowned and answered quietly,
"I don't like him in that way though."
The girls just let out a little huff and then the leader pointed a finger in Tohru's face,
"Well then stay the hell away from him."
With there poisonous last words hanging in the air, they all spun around and walked to their assigned seats in the back of the room. Tohru flopped down into her seat near the front, wanting to burst into tears, but took several deep breaths to control herself.
Kyo opened up his locker and saw about ten heart shaped notes flutter out slowly. He grumbled out loud and kicked them all away, aware that today was Valentines Day, not one of his favorite holidays. He sighed and slammed his locker shut, not wanting to deal with any more girls running up to him with the little lacy heart shaped cards and candies. He shuffled through the hallways and stopped when he saw Tohru walking through the hallways. He found himself plowing through some people just to reach her. Kyo raised up a hand and said,
"Hey."
Tohru's eyes brightened up for a second, and then she remembered what had just happened before in Math class, causing her eyes to lose its spark. She pointed forward and spoke very fast,
"Umm, I have to get to class very fast, so I'll see you later."
Kyo's eyebrows drew together and he asked with concern lurking in his voice,
"What's up with you?"
Tohru's cheeks turned pink and she blurted out,
"N-nothing!"
"Now I know something's up…"
Tohru walked forward quickly and squeaked out very quickly,
"Um, I really have to go now!"
With that, she began to run down the hallways, leaving Kyo standing in the middle of the hallway, confused.
Maybe she's sad because she doesn't have a valentine…hmm… it's a stupid reason, but she's one strange girl.
Kyo pondered this thought for a while and finally decided on what he would do. He skipped lunchtime and left the school grounds to go buy some flowers and chocolate, when he finished purchasing those items he snuck back into the school and made it just in time before the bell that ended lunch. He sped walked to Tohru's English class and glanced around quickly to make sure that she wasn't there yet, then he dropped the flowers and chocolates on her desk before rushing out of the classroom with a red face, hoping that he was unseen by anyone. Little did he know that the leader of the three girls had seen the entire thing.
When Tohru stepped into her English class, her eyes widened at the sight of a beautiful bouquet of roses and chocolates sitting on top of her desk. She saw a little tag on the end of the flowers that had written on it in big letters, ANONYMOUS. She bit her lower lip, bringing the roses up to her nose, sniffing in the wonderful scent. She felt so happy that she had an actual valentine, the feeling made her feel like she was floating on thin air. Her eyes flew open when she heard a person in front of her clear their throat very loudly. It was the leader of the three girls and her arms were crossed angrily over her chest as she accused Tohru with an ice cold voice,
"What, are you two an item now?!"
Tohru felt so confused as she sputtered out,
"Wh-What do you mean?"She looked so angry that you could see faint traces of steam protruding out from her flaring nostrils as she yelled out angrily,
"Don't play dumb! You know Kyo-kun gave them to you! You're supposed to stay away from him you… you… bitch!"
Tohru looked down at the roses and her mouth dropped open as she repeated in awe,
"You mean, K-Kyo-kun gave these to me?"
She instantly felt her heart warm and her skin tingle at the thought of him giving her roses. Then she remembered that the girl standing in front of her was in love with Kyo, so she looked her in the eye with sympathy and apologized truthfully,
"I'm sorry… but I had no idea that he had given me these…"
The girl's fists balled up, and then she raised her hand up, smackng Tohru across the face. Tohru felt her right cheek sting painfully, but she didn't cower away, she just looked back at the girl and said firmly,
"I'm sorry for whatever pain I have caused… but… I can't stop being friends with Kyo-kun, so you can do whatever you want to me... kick me, punch me... I don't care. Just do it."
The girl stomped her foot on the ground loudly and she stormed out of the classroom without another word. Tohru watched as she ran out of the room, so she did what she thought was right, she chased out after her. She saw the girl go into the bathroom so Tohru follwed in after her. She saw that the girl was gripping the sink edges and looking into the mirror with tear filled eyes. Tohru stood behind her and said to her quietly,
"I'm sorry."
The girl faced her with tears in her eyes and said harshly,
"Go away!"Tohru inched closer and shook her head,
"I want to help you feel better… please."
The girl placed her hands over her face and she asked in a less angry tone,
"Why do you want to help me when I've been so mean to you?"
Tohru bit her lower lip and answered,
"Because… I just do."
Tohru walked over to the towel dispenser and pulled out a sheet of paper towel, handing the single sheet to her. The girl looked at Tohru's sincere eyes and took the towel from her hands, dabbing at her eyes gently. She then wadded up the paper towel and threw it into the garbage, taking a deep breath before admitting in a kinder tone,
"I guess… you're not all that bad Honda Tohru."
Tohru smiled brightly at her and she saw the girl crack a small smile back as she said with her usual haughty tone,
"This doesn't mean we're friends though! Just not… enemies."
Tohru nodded and said,
"I would like that."Back at the house
It was hitting night time and Tohru was about to head upstairs to go to sleep when she saw Kyo sitting at the bottom step of the staircase, looking right at her with an intent stare. Tohru felt her face blush furiously at his stare and she let out a smile as she asked innocently,
"So are you going to sleep yet, Kyo-kun?"
Kyo shook his head and got up from his spot on the staircase, stuffing his hands into his khaki pockets as he asked absent-mindedly,
"Nah, what about you?"
"I was just about to."
Oh wait! I totally forgot to give him his Valentine's gift!
Tohru smacked her forehead lightly and exclaimed,
"Oh! I completely forgot to give you something! Hold on."
Tohru scrambled upstairs and rushed into her room, grabbing the little box of chocolates on her dresser before stumbling back down the stairs breathlessly. Kyo shot her a weird look and was about to say something when she thrust the nicely wrapped chocolates right in front of his face. He blinked back a couple of times in shock before taking the box into his hands gingerly, asking,
"Chocolates?"
Tohru blushed and confessed shamefully,
"I'm sorry I couldn't afford anything better… but Happy Valentines Day."
Kyo could feel his cheeks heat up as he muttered out,
"Geez… you didn't have to get me anything, I mean I didn't get you anything."
Tohru smiled at him and said good-naturedly,
"It's okay."
Kyo stared down at the chocolates and grumbled out,
"I'm not gonna say thank you or nothin…"
Tohru repeated,
"It's okay."
Kyo cleared his throat and glanced at the table where the roses and chocolates, the ones that he had secretly given to her, lay. He looked at her and then nudged his chin in the direction of the flowers, asking as casually as he best could,
"So, who are those from?"
Tohru smiled coyly and replied,
"It says anonymous, so I don't know."
Kyo smirked and asked,
"Well, are you happy that you have a secret admirer?"
Tohru grinned widely at him and nodded happily,
"Yeah. It's nice to know that
someone out there is thinking about me."
