Chapter twelve
Here comes the Drama Queen
The next day everyone was pleased by the fact there wasn't any school this day. To Haruka and Michiru it meant spending as much time together as possible. The aqua haired girl had already planned what they could do the whole day even though half of her plans included cuddling and making out with the blonde tomboy. On the other hand Michiru's happiness was overshadowed by a bad feeling which she assumed was fear...
Without looking where she was going Michiru twirled around only to bump into Alexx and fall backwards on the ground. Luckily for her she landed on the couch so the fall didn't hurt much. With that she looked up at the black haired girl who was giving her friend a questioning look. And even though Alexx was looking at Michiru with those questioning eyes it was obvious to the smaller girl something was bothering her roommate.''What's wrong Alexx, you look troubled.'' The black haired girl only nodded before she looked away as if she was afraid that Michiru would see through her fake smile and disguise. ''Alexx you know you can talk to me..'' Michiru started again but stopped when her friend suddenly looked up again looking as if she was on the verge of breaking down into tears.
'' Michiru I...'' Alexx paused for a moment giving the girl in front of her a fearful look as if she was afraid to lose Michiru. ''I'm in love with someone who doesn't love me back.'' The aqua haired girl stared at Alexx for a few minutes before smiling and standing up from the couch to place a hand on the other's shoulders.
''How can you be so sure this person doesn't love you back, have you tried to talk to that someone you like?'' Michiru asked. Alexx just shook her head in reply. The aqua haired girl's smile faded. Alexx really reminded her of herself. Come to think about it Michiru suddenly realised Haruka could be here any moment and she still hadn't gotten dressed yet. But she couldn't leave Alexx just behind like this? Maybe Haruka wouldn't mind if she'd bring Alexx along with them. On the other hand this may be the only free day she would have together with her lover. After all after this week of school there would be a short holiday in which Michiru would go back to her parent's house to tell them all about her experiences here. But to be completely honest Michiru didn't feel like going home anytime soon. SHe knew she would miss Haruka too much, not to mention how would she react or act around her parents and family now? What would they do if they would find out about Michiru dating another female. The smaller girl didn't even want to know. They would take her away from this school first and then they would make her marry this fiancée of hers even sooner than was planned originally.
When the aqua haired girl heard Alexx's voice again she snapped out of her thoughts and looked right into her friend's brown eyes. ''I'm sorry Alexx, did you say something?'' She then asked only to be rewarded by a smirk from the black haired girl who muttered something about Haruka, causing Michiru to blush.
''Nothing important came out of my mind don't worry, so tell me why are you having that look on your face?''
Michiru blushed even more than she held possible. ''What look?''
''That look...'' Alexx replied while pointing at her friend with an accusing finger.''You like as if you are ready to burst into tears but at the same time you are looking like a happy girl who's madly in love and who's..''
''Okay okay I get it!'' Michiru said. ''I was just thinking about how my parents would react to...''
''You being together with Haruka ?'' Alexx finished for her friend. This time Michiru only replied by nodding. ''You shouldn't worry about that.'' The other started after a few more moments of complete silence.''If your parenst do not approve of you two together then i'd say they're not good parents. Even your parenst can't come between real love. Besides you think they would really make you marry that handsome guy when you already got a handsome girl?''
Michiru laughed at that last part. Somehow Alexx managed to wash away all her doubts for a moment by that comment. But soon the smile from her face faded again.''What if they'll take me away from Haruka again? I mean they are very powerful people, if they want me out of Haruka's life they'll just have to snap their fingers and i'll be a hundred miles away from her in a second.''
Alexx shook her head on this comment. ''Don't be so foolish Michi, if you love Haruka you will make sure that won't happen. Your parents may be powerful but do not underestimate the power of love...''
''You sound like a postcard now...'' Michiru joked.
The other girl blushed before scratching the back of her head nervously. ''Well that's where I got it from in the first place, I just changed the word 'war' to 'parents' and tadaa I almost looked like a wise girl.''
'' But you are very wise, unless it comes down to love. My opinion on your little problem is you don't have enough will or maybe you just don't believe in yourself. If you really like this person , why don't you just tell her?''
'' How did you know I was talking about a her ?'' Alexx asked suprised.
Michiru blushed at this. After all she couldn't tell Alexx about the deal she had made with Nao just yet. ''It's obvious you like Nao...'' Michiru then said.''I saw the look you were giving her when we both found you on the lap of my lovely fiancée.'' This time it was Alexx's turn to blush and just when she was about to open her mouth to say something they heard someone walking into the livingroom causing them to look up at the blonde girl, also known as Nao.
''Girls I don't want to interrupt your tea party but there's someone knocking on the door for atleast a few minutes. Are you planning to open the freaking door?'' The blonde asked a bit irritated. Michiru wanted to die so badly at this point. The whole morning she had been waiting for her lover to arrive and now Haruka finally was here she just let her wait on the doorsteps. When Nao saw the look on the aqua haired girl's face her irritated look turned into a amused one as she watched Michiru run over to the front door.
As soon as Michiru had opened the door she had closed it again pulling Haruka along with her through the halls trying hard to hide her blush while babbling all kinds of excuses for making the , now confused , blonde wait. Nao simply shook her head. She now looked even more amused than she had looked before but her smile faded when she turned to look at Alexx who was staring back at her. Both girls suddenly felt nervous, not knowing what they could say to break this akward silence.
''They're in trouble...'' Nao finally said after a few more minutes of not saying anything. Alexx just gave the blonde one of those confused looks that told Nao to explain what she was talking about. ''The other day Michiru and Haruka were fighting. I followed Michiru after a while to see how she was doing and she ended up making up with Haruka again and they kissed...In a public place.'' For a moment Alexx still seemed to hold her confusion but when she finally understood what the problem was she looked up, her eyes wide open.
''Who saw them?'' She finally asked when she saw the blonde nod. Deep down inside of her Alexx knew only one person could really find out about the relationship between Haruka and Michiru and cause problems too.''It was Setsuna , wasn't it?'' Once again Nao nodded. The black haired girl thought about it for a moment before her shock turned into a calmth on her face that even scared Nao.
''What are you smiling about all of a sudden, do you think this is funny or something?'' The other asked suprised by the sudden change of her roommate. Then Nao shook her head. Ever since Michiru had come to this school her behaviour had changed. She was no longer hurting Alexx or having a big mouth towards the teachers, and now she was even haven an ''almost'' normal conversation with the black haired girl.
''No ofcourse I don't find this funny but come on admit it, Haruka doesn't look like she is enjoying her job. She could quit anytime she likes right?'' Nao thought about it for a moment as she tried to recall the words of the blonde teacher the day she and Michiru had skipped school to go to the city.
''I don't think Haruka is doing this for herself.'' Nao finally replied as she shook her head. Before Alexx even could ask anything there was a loud knock on the front door again causing both girls to jump wondering if Haruka and Michiru had returned already.
When the blonde girl noticed the other had no intention of opening the door she muttered something under her breath and walked over to the front door, opening it with another loud sigh. But her annoyance changed into something even worse when she saw Ami and Makoto stand in front of her. She may have changed towards Alexx and the teachers but Nao couldn't fight the urge to annoy the brunette who was now giving her a dirty look. ''What a nice suprise!'' Nao said with a sarcastic tone in her voice. ''And here I was thinking you two broke up and didn't even dare to come to my lovely house..''
''Shut up Rayne , we're here for Michiru so just tell us if she is here or not.'' Makoto hissed while trying to look if she could see Michiru in the livingroom. Nao rolled her eyes on this comment.
''I was trying to be nice Kino darling, mhh I don't know if Michiru is here , why don't you give me ten minutes to think about it and i'll get back at you. Why do you want to talk to her anyway, I'm a good listener too..'' The last part was accompanied by a devilish smirk.
''Please stop being this annoying.'' Makoto begged trying not to notice the sad look on the blue haired girl's face. She knew Nao would eventually note it herself. Makoto simply wanted to talk to Michiru about some things. ''Listen Michiru had said she was free for today so we all agreed to meet eachother today in the school cafeteria but since it's closed we came here, now is Michiru here or not?''
This cracked Nao up. She couldn't believe Michiru had forgotten about their little deal and ditched them once more to go out with someone else. This was just too hilarious and too good to not make a comment on it. ''She already went on her date with her lover...''
''Lover ?'' Ami suddenly said. After all Makoto and her were never informed about Michiru dating someone. Then again they hadn't exactly talked to the aqua haired girl in a while. This time Nao was able to control her laughter over the mixed faces of the brunette and the blue haired girl. This was too good to be true. She just had to tell them the truth to annoy them and make them mad this time.
Alexx just stood in the kitchen listening to the conversations between Nao and the two other girls while shaking her head in a sad way. Nao was so cruel, she didn't understand why she was in love with the blonde in the first place. Until now she had never seen Nao on her best or in a good way. All the blonde did was hurt people and trying to make people feel irritated in which she succeeded many times.
''I think someone saw us.'' Haruka suddenly said after a few minutes of a comfortable silence. Michiru looked up. It didn't take a genius to find out what Haruka was talking about.
''What makes you think that Ruka , are you already getting blackmail notes ?''Michiru joked as she earned a poke in her stomach from her lover.
''No silly and I think Setsuna saw us. She called me this morning about wanting to talk to me about a serious matter.'' The tomboy answered while putting an arm around the smaller girl's waist.
''Maybe it's just some teacher thing or maybe there are complaints about your way of working, don't worry Ruka.'' Michiru said with a smile on her face but deep down inside she didn't feel as happy as this morning anymore. What if Haruka had to choose between her friend by keeping this job and Michiru? Who would she pick? Michiru wasn't completely sure Haruka was able to just take the hit and quit this job just because of her.
''I hope so..'' The blonde replied while wondering why Michiru was so quiet all of a sudden. Had she done something wrong already? Then suddenly Haruka stopped walking causing the smaller girl to stop as well. ''Michi if something is wrong, please tell me..'' The blonde begged on which Michiru replied by shaking her head lying about being okay.
''So tell me, how is everything going between you, Nao and Alexx..From what i heard those two aren't really fond of eachother. You must be annoyed with being around those two the whole time while hearing them fight about all kinds of things right?'' Haruka asked trying to change the subject.
''Actually , they like eachother more than they are willing to admit.'' Michiru said, playing along with the sudden change of the subject they were discussing before. ''Alexx is in love with Nao I think and there's no sign of doubt in my bones or blood that her feelings are only coming from her side. After all Nao and I made a deal which isn't going to happen anyway..''
''What kind of deal?'' Haruka asked curious. She was kind of suprised Nao had any feelings at all, not to mention it was suprising Nao even risked talking about her feelings with someone she barely knew. Unless Michiru and Nao were friends before her lover came to this school. Ofcourse that was silly. Michiru didn't even seem to like Nao at first.
'' Ah never mind, I'm not suppossed to talk about it anyway. So why don't we just go on with our date, what do you say my handsome and hot teacher?'' Michiru said while stepping closer to the blonde as their lips met in a passionate kiss. After a while they pulled back again only to look deeply into eachother's eyes. For a moment Michiru forgot all about her worries and doubts but they washed over her again when she saw Setsuna drive past them in her green Corvette.
''Next week we got a whole week without school, if you haven't made any plans we can stay at my place..'' Haruka suddenly said shaking Michiru out of her thoughts. The smaller girl nodded for a moment, but then remembered she was going to back to her parents' house during the holiday.
''Ah , I'm sorry love but I already made other plans.'' Michiru said wondering why her words sounded even cruel to her own ears. When she gazed up she saw even Haruka had noticed the harshness in the smaller girl's voice.
''What kind of plans ?'' The tomboy now asked as she let go of Michiru looking like she was aswell upset as getting angry at the same time.
Quickly Michiru shook her head. ''I'm sorry, I didn't mean to let it come out like that. What I meant to say is , I already promised my parents to come home for the holiday to tell them all about this school and my friends and well..If I like it here.''
''Are you planning on telling them about us?'' The taller woman now wanted to know. Somehow she knew Michiru had no intentions to do so.
''No..'' Was the answer. ''If I tell them they'll take me away from you.'' With that she stared at the ground underneath her feet. Maybe she should tell Haruka about the fact she was engaged.
''It's okay, I understand.'' Haruka whispered , feeling a little sad about the fact Michiru was afraid to tell her parents. They couldn't keep this a secret forever. Then again they hadn't been together for such a long time so Michiru's choice was kind of logical. ''Let's get on with our date then..'' She added. Once again Michiru only nodded in reply as they started to walk on. Only this time something was missing. Haruka was no longer holding the smaller girl close to her. Michiru's smile had completely dissapeared now and somehow the tension between the two of them was not very promising.
