Chapter Seven

'Why is everyone looking at me very obscenely?' Usagi thought, looking down at her feet, and carrying her text books against her chest while walking at a slow pace. She looked over at her right shoulder, seeing that popular girls were talking about her. Especially the girl with the short brown hair. She keeps yapping away.She sighed, still walking slowly as if nothing ever happened. Everyone she passed always gave her these odd looks; that she always hated. It has happened many times in the past but now, it has just gone too far. She almost forgot everything. So, she looked at her small white piece of paper. Looking at the time, and the class. 'History…' she mumbled to herself. As soon as she said that sentence, the bell rang, leaving everyone around her go insane just so that they wouldn't be late for class.

Usagi was the last person to enter in her class, still holding her text books tightly, and looking down at her feet while she walked. Mrs. Sullivan, took off her glasses because she was so surprised that she came back so soon. Everyone looked at Usagi, just because they didn't know what happened to her, and surprised that she came back so sudden. Usagi sat down, and flipped through her textbook pages.

"What page are we on?" She asked, looking at the girl across from her. The girl narrowed her eyes a bit; finding the words to say.

"Uh- um. I-I…" She stuttered, flipping through her book.

"We're on page two hundred seventy three miss. Tsukino." Usagi immediately turned around as soon as she heard that loud voice.

"Oh, thank you Mrs. Sullivan."

The teacher got out of her desk, moving her chair back, started walking, making the sound of her shoes go, clip… clop. She walked in front of Usagi's desk. She bent over a bit and, put both of her knuckles on the desk. She pushed her glasses closer to the bridge of her nose and gently said,

"Welcome back. Miss. Tsukino."

Usagi looked down and quietly said, "Thank you…"

"We have an assignment due pretty soon. But, since you have been absent for the past couple of weeks, your due date will be extended. Your partner is--"

"Mamoru." She interrupted.

Mrs. Sullivan gave her a questioning look, and stood up straighter. "Uh, y-yes. That's right. But anyway, you'll need to catch up on everything we have done."

"I already have." Usagi said, looking up.

"Oh? How is that possible?" (A/N: I KNOW. You guys are probably thinking, 'well DUHH. Friends can tell us :P But! You guys should know what I mean haha!)

"Well… Mamoru told me what to do since we have all of our classes together, and I caught up on everything last night…" She said, while pointing at Mamoru. Mrs. Sullivan was extremely surprised. You could just tell by the way she's looking.

"Well then. I'm glad you caught up on everything. It's really great to see you back." She said, walking back to her desk.

Usagi turned her head to the right. Mamoru looked right at her sweet, innocent face. She mouthed the words, "thank you." and turned back to look at teacher, to see what the she was discussing to the class. Mamoru looked at his notebook, stalling. He felt so happy, just to see her everyday.

Class was already finished. Everyone scurried out because, it was FINALLY the weekend! Even the teacher left early as well. But anyway, Usagi was just finishing up her work but, a shadow was covering her work, and someone was hovering over her. So, she stopped what she was doing, and looked up at her right hand side. She gently laughed.

"Mamoru, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be out for the weekend?" He even laughed.

"Well… I… wanted to ask you something."

"Oh? What is it?" She said, going back to her work.

But, before he could ask his question, the janitor came in and said, "C'mon you guys. It's the weekend, go home already." They both looked at the door, and Mamoru nodded. Usagi gathered all of her belongings, and Mamoru helped her (since she had extra work to do). They walked, together.

They arrived at the parking lot but today, Usagi didn't bring her car. She wanted to walk home, to smell the natures fresh air, and to get the exercise she needed. Their walk together was so quiet so, she finally broke the silence.

"So… what was it you wanted to ask me?" She asked, looking at his handsome face.

"Oh." He shook his head, getting out of his trance. "I wanted to ask you -- um." She stopped in her tracks, and so did he. She gave in a small giggle. "What is it?"

'Well… I can't just ask her out NOW. It would be way to soon! Hmm… I'll just start slowly first."

"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to drink coffee or something with me? I mean, just hang out, talk and stuff?" Looking down, getting ready for disappointment. His face was just turning a light red.

"Oh. Aha, sure! In fact, I can actually go right now if you want." He immediately looked up.

"You can?"

"Sure! But, I don't have my car with me so--"

"I can just drive you."

"Aha, okay! Well, I guess we should get going then."

The ride was silent. Again. But, it was alright because, they both enjoyed natures fresh air. Plus, the ride was kind of short. They finally arrived at a coffee place (Haha, I'm letting you guys choose where they are! Tim Horton's, Starbucks, etc.). He got out of the car so, he could open the door for her. What a kind gentlemen, Usagi thought proudly.
They ordered their coffee and, sat down at a table. Usagi looked across the table and made a funny sound.

"What?" He asked, smiling.

"I don't understand how you can drink black coffee all the time." She said, while sitting down.

"Well! I'll try something new next time we are together." Her head shot up when he said, "Next time we are together." Questioned, she didn't know what to say. 'Oh gosh. Did I just say, what I thought I said? Shit! I better change the subject right now!' Mamoru thought, feeling very embarrassed.

"So, about the assignment we're doing in history--"

"Yeah," Nice recovery. She thought to herself.

"Well, I would invite you to my place but, my parents called the other day and, I'm not allowed to have anyone over till they get home. I know, I'm old enough to take care of myself but, they just want to see if they can trust me or not. Haha, I know, sounds pathetic. But, my parents always come up with something when ever they go out for business."

"Well, that's okay. You could come over to my place then." He said, right after he took a sip of his coffee.

Sip. "Oh, that would be great actually."

"Anyway… I know that this is not part of what we're talking about but… Anne said that she is really sorry for what she has done to you. She was sort of crying because, she didn't actually expect something like that to happen to you." He said, changing the subject.

Why is he always worried about me? "And … she can't tell me this herself?"

He looked straight into her blue, daydreaming eyes. "Well, she probably would have. But, she wasn't here today."

"Oh, I… haven't noticed."

"Well, she probably would have said something to you." He said, looking outside the window.

Oh, speaking of women. "Oh, I forgot to tell you something."

He turned his head, "Which is…?"

"Well… do you remember that picture we took?" She said, leaning closer.

"Which one?"

"The picture… you know. When I was in the hospital."

"Oh! That one. Yeah, what about it?"

"Well…"

Flashback

The door opened silently while Usagi was sitting on the bed, thinking about things.

"Hey Usagi-Chan… are you okay?" Asked her friend, sitting by her left side.

"Oh hey Sayori. I'm fine… thank you for visiting me. I was really bored!" They both laughed.

"Well, I'm here!" She looked over her left shoulder. She saw a picture on the table with Mamoru and Usagi, together. She walked over, and picked it up. She turned around and asked, "Usagi-Chan… who is this?"

End of flashback

"And then, I said that you were my best friend,"

'…best friend? Is that… all we will be?' Mamoru gave a little frown at that thought. "Oh… o-kay…"

"And… she said that you looked really cute! Plus, she is the same age as you are." She paused, to smile. (A/N: In this fanfic, Usagi moved up two grades. That's how smart she is : ) So, there is a slight age difference. Pfft, just by two years lmao.)

Mamoru gave in a little laugh. "But anyway, she asked if you were seeing anyone, and I said no. So… maybe you guys can hook up sometime?"

"Whoa, I need to know who she is first. Wait, I don't even know what she looks like. I just know her name."

"Well, you will soon!" She smiled, while crossing her arms.

"Hmm… I don't know Usagi."

She put her crossed arms on the table, and leaned in forward a little bit. "Well… that is if, you are seeing a certain someone." She said, smoothly.

"Well, I'm not seeing someone but--"

"Great! Then, you can meet her anytime soon!"

"But… I am interesting in a certain person." She narrowed her eyes, just a little bit.

"…Oh?" Well… I already know that he couldn't be interested in me. I do like him. No, wait. I'm really close to loving him. I know that he'll have a much more interest in Sayori. She's beautiful, and smart. She's perfect for him, not me.

"Do I know this women?"

"Actually… you really know her." He said, happily.

"Hmm… so you really like this girl?" Sip.

"No, I don't like her. I actually… really love her." She felt worse, just from those words. It would take a miracle for a handsome guy like Mamoru to love me… She frowned a little bit.

"When did you start liking her?"

"Since… time began."

"If you love her that much, you should tell her your feelings." Mamoru put his elbows on the table. (A/N: Y'all are probably thinking, 'that's rude!' :P)

"Well, I probably could but, it would be too fast. She's gone through so much lately and, if she found out that I love her, I wouldn't want her to feel so stressed."

Sip. "You are a good person Mamoru."

"So are you, Usagi." He said… lightly toughing her right hand. She blushed; majorly.

"Uh--um, I better go now. My parents could be calling anytime soon." She said, removing her hand from his touch.

"Oh, okay. I'll take you home." He said, as they both got up, slowly.

"Thanks."

She departed from his car, and gathered all of her things, and closed the car door.

"Thank you for the coffee."

"Oh, it was nothing. Haha. See you tomorrow." He pulled out of her driveway, and they both waved. She turned around, and unlocked her door, and walked in. She closed the door behind her, ran upstairs in her room, and collapsed on her bed. She lay in a more comfortable position and her hands behind her head. She quietly said to herself,

"He… loves someone that I know really well. What am I going to do? Maybe… I shouldn't have agreed that I would hook up Sayori and Mamoru… when I just want him to myself. Ugh! What am I going to do!" She turned her body to her right side, and thought long and hard, what she should do. Should she let Sayori have him?

Please tell me what you think! Please Review!
