Chapter 4: He let me down
"Miki, would you hurry up? We've been waiting for you for almost a half hour!" Ginta called from the kitchen. "Be patient, Ginta. I'm almost done." Miki yelled from her room.
She gave herself one last check in the mirror and nodded in approval. 'Got to look good for Yuu.' She thought to herself as she glanced over at the clock. 'Yuu won't be at the beach until 10:30. Too bad he had community service hours to serve. Why am I obsessing over him?!' Miki pushed Yuu to the back of her mind where she quickly forgot about him.
"MIKI!!!"
"Coming!" Miki called as she bolted for her door.
She entered her kitchen and was greeted by two unpleasant faces. "What, it's not my fault that you guys came fifteen minutes early." Miki said crossing her arms.
"It's not our fault that it took you forty-five minutes to get ready to go to the beach." Ginta pointed out.
"Gee, let's not get touchy." Miki said. "So, do you want to go to the beach, or not?"
Ginta was now smiling as he and Arimi held hands. 'Wow, they're so cute together. I still can't believe that Arimi doesn't like Yuu anymore. Her and Ginta seem perfect for each other. I wish Yuu and I had a relationship-'
"Miki, let's go." Arimi said, interrupting her thoughts.
"Yeah." She said as she followed Ginta and Arimi out.
When they arrived at the beach it was already covered with colorful beach towels and umbrellas.
"Looks like we weren't the only ones with the idea of going to the beach today." Arimi said disappointed.
After much effort they managed to find a decent spot to sprawl themselves out on. Miki and Arimi placed all the towels very close together to make one giant picnic towel. They both lay on their stomachs in the sun.
Miki loved the feeling of the scorching sun beating on her back. It made her feel so good. She let out a sigh as she closed her eyes.
The beach was filled with the sounds of screaming children and people playing in the water, it was defiantly very crowded. Every year there seemed to be more and more people going to the beach and less and less room for everybody to actually enjoy being there.
Miki couldn't help but think about it being closer and closer until Yuu got there. Why was she looking forward to him being there so much? She couldn't answer this question. She lay there, completely and utterly confused. No, she couldn't be in love with him. She wouldn't allow herself to be.
Hours went by and Yuu still never showed up. She had finally given up all hope on him when Ginta and Arimi were ready to leave.
"I'm sure he has a good excuse for not being here, Miki. Why don't you just ask him." Arimi said with a reassuring look.
"I don't want to know why he didn't show. It's probably just some lame excuse so that he didn't have to see my ugly face." Miki said both angry and upset.
Ginta and Arimi kept their distance from Miki, they didn't want her to blow up on them. Yuu had that strange affect on Miki. If he did something that caused her to feel an emotion when caused by him it was always exaggerated. In other words, it was obvious she liked him. She just wouldn't admit it, even to herself.
When Miki returned home Yuu wasn't there either. She felt her eyes tear. 'What the crap is wrong with me? Why am I so emotional over him. I can't help but think that he is avoiding me.' Miki was right for once, he 'was' avoiding her.
She didn't understand why, but right now she didn't care to understand. All she wanted to do was bury herself ten feet into the ground and come out in seventeen years like the cicada. But now she couldn't bury herself.
Days went by and all she had received from Yuu was a phone call letting her know that he would be spending the remainder of the two weeks with a friend from school. Obviously this was true because Yuu can't lie, eh? Miki was disappointed and didn't understand why Yuu was suddenly, not there.
Author's Note-I have writer's block and I'm stuck. But I won't be for long because I have to post another chapter in a few days. I know, you don't have to tell me, this one was short and crappy. Yade yade yada. I would understand if you didn't review this chapter, but they would still be appreciated. I promise the next chapter will be 'at least 5,000 words'. Yikes what did I get myself into?! I didn't bother to proof read this chapter either, so shoot me why don't you. Sorry I'm having a pissy week and I can't write properly. --.
A pissed off tired,
Unknown Saiyan
