Aki: Ha-o! Thanks for the reviews that you guys gave me for the first chappie of this ficcie of mine! Domo arigato! I hope you enjoy this second chapter! Chill!

Bumping is much pretty much like how you meet other people.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bump!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other times it causes that someone to catch you when you fall.

N-th Interference...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The young lass heaved out an irritated sigh as she walked down the alley.

Darn.

She hated this feeling.

It has almost been two months since the school year had begun and Misao couldn't believe that emotions such as that... that THING existed!

Misao turned to her right and started climbing the stairs, each step she took making a loud thud echo around the empty stairway.

Damn.

Damn.

Damn.

Damn that stupid brunette.

Ever since she had known him, her life averted from being peaceful to being damn heller than the darkest dimension in the blasted galaxy of the unwanted universe!

Great.

Now she's starting to think like some psycho.

All because she had discovered this new feeling that she hadn't felt before her entire life.

This thing called---

Nah!

Of course it wasn't the right word to call that stupid feeling. The emerald eyed girl was totally and affirmatively sure that that feeling she was having for that irky brunette was not love...

Eeww...

Misao flinched as the word echoed on her mind.

That word was totally for stupid people who were stupid enough to let themselves fall for somebody who's equally as stupid as them.

And that word was absolutely for oldies.

For corny people.

For people who were in love.

But of course she wasn't in that state so logically, she wasn't one of those people who did everything for the sake of love…

Argh.

That word really sucks.

She felt a cold shiver run up her spine which caused her to have goose bumps.

That brunette should really die now for all he has hatched her was pure darn botheration.

"Huh?"

She looked up only to notice that she was already on the top floor, just in front of the door leading to the roof top.

Damn!

Misao became so aggravated that she almost pulled her hair off of her head.

Look at what thinking about him caused her!

Now she had to take another flight of four stairways to reach her destination! Hell, she was only planning to go to the second floor and because she was feeble-mindedly deeming about her feelings towards the stupid brunette, she has to endure another round of exactly forty nine steps.

Sheesh.

This was the reason why she hated that thing many people termed as love!

All it brought to her was mischief!

"Damn that Seta Soujiro..." Misao muttered angrily under her breathe as she turned to take the staircase leading to the third floor.

Sure, he looked cute.

She rolled her eyes at the word that she chose to use, ignoring the fact that her face was burning just because of the simple thought of the adorable smile that he had given to her the last time the two of them met.

Which happened because, as usual as it has always been in the past, he bumped into her.

There was one Saturday when she really needed help and Omasu, Okon, and Kaoru just happened to be on far away places that day.

She was really losing hope during that day but while she was on her way back home after heading to see if Kaoru was back, she luckily bumped into a certain brunette, who in turn immediately noticed the worry that she tried hard to hide. Surprisingly enough for her, that guy was able to help her more than what she needed and she really didn't understand why at that time, she felt truly thankful for bumping into him; and that was not just because of the fact that he helped her.

Then there was another time wherein she was just walking towards her classroom when the same brunette came running into her, of course, accidentally. She found him smiling at her again during that time and unknowingly, she smiled back at him with a weird feeling that was emerging within her chest.

One time she was on her way home when rain begun to fall. The emerald eyed girl had to run in the fastest pace she could manage to avoid being to soaked though she knew the fact that she was already damned wet. While dashing towards a block, Misao unexpectedly felt herself banged into someone and a second after that, she found herself standing in front of a certain guy who had lost balance because of the sudden impact that was caused by her speed. Totally weird, the young lass just found herself laughing amidst the fact that the two of them were both soaked wet. Meeting him in a gloomy weather was really... unexplainable.

And the other time they bumped into each other again while she was walking to the gym and he was heading to the soccer field for practice.

That was one of the many times that she saw him wearing that smile that had warmth on it. And it actually made her feel cozy.

And those scenes were some of the hundred occurrences where the two of them bumped into one another.

And she, though she denied it, was glad of having those memories. Just the thought of it actually made her smile amidst the blood that always rushed to her face whenever she mused about him.

Darn.

Misao rubbed her face as if trying to get rid of the blush that was still creeping up on her face. This was another reason why she hated liking him.

She didn't like the fact that just seeing him made her feel all warm and cozy inside.

The young lass felt her eye twitch.

She really had to stop thinking about him. She was being way too much mawkish and corny whenever she started to think about him.

Why was she thinking about him anyway?

It was not like he was important to her or something...

Misao stopped on her tracks when she noticed that she was already near the exit of the building.

Slowly and turbulently, Misao's fist begun to tighten.

After muttering an incoherent curse, the young lass turned back to where she came from and restarted climbing the stairs, this time focusing on her way.

Fine!

If fate was mad her just because she was denying her feelings towards the stupid brunette who had always been there for her in the times she hadn't expected and who had been such a caring friend whom she could tell all the things she wanted to express without the worry that he would chuck out all the things she told her because of the fact that he had always been trustworthy and also because he had trusted her as well that she was getting lost of track, then fine!

Who cares, anyway...?

Well of course she knew that she didn't care.

He wasn't that important to her anyway.

But then, if he's value to her wasn't that much, why would she be thinking about him so much that she missed the second floor twice now...?

Speaking of that...

Misao stomped her foot a few times on the floor with such force that it made loud thud sounds.

After getting her anger out directly on the innocent tiled floor, the young lass turned around once more to head back down to where she really was heading---the second floor; not the fourth one!

Now giving one hundred percent of her attention to where she was going, Misao heaved out an angry sigh and flipped her braided hair just to release a few of the annoyance she was experiencing right now.

She was tiring herself just because she was thinking of Soujiro.

See how these happenings had proven the fact that love was and would always be stupid?

Wait...

If she was thinking that idea... didn't that logically meant that she really loved Soujiro and if that idea too was true, then it also meant that he was of important value to her... right?

Feeling her cheeks' temperature rise up again, Misao vaguely gave attention to where she was heading... again.

But then, if those ideas were the truth, didn't that made all her deemings usele---

Misao suddenly felt herself got imbalanced and realize that she had just made a wrong step while getting started on climbing the staircase leading to the second floor. Her emerald eyes widened both in surprise and panic when she recognized that she was falling from a twelve-step stairway with no chances of getting herself back on a safe place.

A silent gasp escape her mouth and the fear of not knowing what could possibly happen in a situation such this started to creep on her nerves.

The sudden accident forced her eyes to shut close.

Misao almost lost all the hope of escaping the tragedy when unexpectedly, she felt her arms being grabbed gently by something strong.

Involuntarily, Misao's hands grasped that thing and hold on to it tightly. She felt herself being pulled back into the floor, safely and successively.

Tough she knew that she was already on a state where she wouldn't be harmed, Misao still didn't let go of that thing she was clinging onto.

She could feel her heart beating into such a phase that almost made her breathless.

Well, almost.

"Daijobu desu ka...?" That voice was too familiar. "Misao-san?"

Realizing who the owner of that voice, Misao shot her emerald eyes opened and noticed that she was holding onto someone's arm.

This time, she was really out of breath.

She felt her heartbeat instantly stopped as a shiver ran up her spines.

This wasn't…

She averted her emerald eyes that had mixed expressions on them. The young lass didn't know how and what to react when she saw the pair of wide azure eyes staring back at her with an emotion she couldn't quite figure out what.

Was that… panic and concern?

Coming from Soujiro…?

Misao snapped at the thought and gave out a surprised yelp when reality emerged back to her senses, causing her body to reflexively jolt back away from the said lad.

"Misao!"

She heard him shout her name as she almost fell down the stairs once more. Her emerald eyes widened again but this time, not because of panic and fear.

It was because of the two things she didn't miss seeing on his eyes as he disturbingly caught her before she could even fall from where they were.

And those two things, she was sure of, were something that resembled the sentences she had always denied that he would ever say to her though a part of her always wished for those words...

I don't want to lose you...

And…

I'd always be there to catch you if ever you fall…

Darn.

Really, love sucks.

But maybe...

She really did have fallen for him already...

And perhaps, she was a little happy of the fact that he was there to catch her...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In some other times, it causes both of you falling down right on the ground.

Arcane Interference...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The reason why all of those had happened was still unknown to her.

Did those chances actually mean something?

A small smile appeared on her lips as the thought that those meetings were actually special made her feel pleased and glad.

She opened the door leading to the corridor and started getting back on her classroom that was on the third floor. A snicker came out of her mouth after remembering a certain staircase scenario that happened just a few months ago.

Denying the fact that she really cherished him was totally of no use. She was just troubling her mind whenever she used to debate about her feelings towards him.

Right now, she was just happy she had those feelings for him. Though the possibility that she would bump into him again still made her senses writhed.

What were those bumpings all about anyway?

Well, that was least of her worries. For now, she would just have to return to her classroom and finish her day by listening to the lectures, writing notes, chatting with her friends, and daydrea----

BUMP!

A yelp escaped from Misao's mouth and before she realized it, her body already made contact with the floor.

Damn.

She wasn't still used on the pain that was always caused by falling.

Stupid kind of concursion...!

The young lass opened her emerald eyes slowly and found a lad in a position similar to her. She watched her as he bore the pain that was caused by the plunge.

A smile crossed her lips after the young lad unclosed his azure eyes and looked at her. She took notice of the beam that emerged on his lips, his eyes telling her that he was glad to see her again.

And this time, Misao realized that it was okay if he wasn't there to catch there...

It was a lot better with him falling along with her on an unsure but probably a one-of-a-heck fall...

A fall where he'd be just right beside her.

And in the rarest of times, bumping can gradually cause the two of you to fall not just on the ground but fall for each other as well without even knowing it.

And maybe if that would happen, they could already avoid the bump-thing already.

But Misao would probably just miss those scenes.

-bump-
