Sorry it's been a while but I've started my GCSE's.. pretty much the big SAT tests you take over there in America and I'm presuming Canada.. Anyways I have next week off so I'll make up for it then
Usagi grinned triumphantly at Minako as she held up a wad of paper. The blond beside her applauded ecstatically whilst Mamoru cocked an eyebrow at the two. Motoki came over seconds later and placed a milkshake in front of Usagi who squealed and leant over to hug him after moving her milkshake out of the way.
"I see you're finally finished with your chemistry work huh?"
"Hai, all done and dusted" She grinned and tucked into her milkshake
"I'll say" Minako snorted placing a hand on her friends shoulder "You've already been given it back three times" Mamoru raised his eyebrows further whilst Motoki and Usagi nodded grimly.
"That I have, But this time, This time she'll find nothing wrong with it.. or else I'll scream" Mamoru let out an exasperated sigh whilst the three blonds fell into a bout of laughter.
Usagi smiled from ear to ear as she sat down with Makato at her side. Mamoru was already seated to her left so Makato took the right. Motoki grinned and placed a milkshake before her and a coke in front of Makato as the door bell chimed.
"Ah! Usagi, you're here!" The group turned to look at an aged woman with thick red hair scraped back into a ponytail. It was Mrs Haruna, Usagi's Chemistry teacher. Makato quickly turned back around and started talking to Motoki hoping the woman would forget about her detention. She came closer and stopped between Usagi and Mamoru.
"Ah, Dear.. I've gone over your coursework and you need to add two or three tiny little details.. it'll boost you a little more to a B" Usagi nodded and took the work from the woman, a small note attached with details as she laid it on the counter before her and pushed the milkshake to one side.
"Bye Usagi, Detention tomorrow Makato!" The woman left waving over her shoulder to the two girls a small chuckle escaping her lips as she saw the brunette's shoulders sag.
Half an hour later Usagi glared at the paper, her head was bowed and she hoped desperately that her bangs would hide her eyes, she could tell she was close to tears. She sniffled quietly and added measurements to the results charts. A cold hand laid on her shoulder and she jumped, startled.
"Shh! It's ok Usagi, it's only me" Mamoru hushed her noticing her shoulders relax. She nodded feeling stupid and allowed herself to collapse forwards onto the counter, Mamoru removed his hand from her shoulder and ran it gently over her spine.
"You ok?" He could tell she was frustrated, she'd already ran her hands through the hair on the nape of her neck five times, twisted her pigtails around each odango twice and blown and swatted at her fringe Kami knows how many times. Mamoru watched her in silence for a few moments before she let out a sigh and nodded.
"Hai, I'm fine" He mentally snorted but let it slip with a grin.
"You can do it odango, Just remember, you can do it" He flashed her a charismatic grin and she nodded, returning it with a shy smile of her own before getting back to work. He was a great guy when he wanted to be. A smile lingered on her face as she continued to work.
Minako joined the two after watching the scene between Usagi and Mamoru, Ami hot on her heals as they grabbed the blond and her work. The four moved over to a booth, Minako and Makato giggling helplessly as they began to gossip.
"She was practically drooling over him"
"Yeah but did you see the look he sent back? They would be so cute together"
"Ahem, I'm sitting right here you know" Usagi finished her work and eyed her two friends while Ami took the paper from her and scanned over it.
"But it's true" Whined Minako with a cheeky glint in her eye
"But it's never going to happen" Usagi stuck her tongue out and closed her eyes, missing the look she got from Mamoru.
"And why's that, Usagi?" Ami being the only one not to fall into a fit of hysterics at Mamoru's expression piped up.
"Because.. Because I don't even know if he likes me that way" Usagi blushed and ducked her head whilst Minako and Makato jumped to their feet with Cheshire cat grins.
"We'll ask him for you!" The two were quicker then Usagi thought and in seconds had bounced over to Mamoru, each standing to one side of him so he was cornered. Motoki grinned in a slight confusion as he shuffled over to get in better hearing range.
"Aww Kami, No" Usagi shrunk down against the seat and grabbed her things from the table. She took her work from Ami apologising quickly as she stuffed it into her bag.
"Bye, Ami. Jaa ne!" Mamoru turned round in time to catch the blushing blond escape from the arcade, her two friends loomed over him clearing their throats in signification for an answer whilst he just watched.
Usagi stormed into her house and violently kicked off her shoes, slinging her jacket onto it's hook and dashing up the stairs. Ikuko stepped out into the hallway and winced as her daughter slammed the bedroom door. She moved back into the kitchen and grabbed some cookies, taking them up to her daughter's room. She knocked on the door after placing the tray on the floor..
No answer..
She tried again before pressing her ear to the door and heard several sniffles. She sighed and took the food in giving her only daughter a shoulder to cry on while she cried her heart out. The cookies providing extra help
The next day she entered the arcade having gotten over the upset from yesterday. She felt her heart drop as She saw that Mamoru was nowhere to be seen. Minako frowned from besides her, surprised that the blond hadn't blown up at her for asking Mamoru how he felt about her. The two moved further into the arcade and sat at the counter, Minako caught Motoki's eye and nodded towards Usagi who was hunched over the counter, tearing a napkin to shreds.
"Hey, Usagi.. I'll get ya the normal" Motoki placed a milkshake in front of her moments later and beamed down at her.
"You just missed Mamoru, you know. He had some work thing to do apparently" She perked up at the mention of his name but soon sagged again. The rest of the gang came in moments later and the group began to animatedly chatter between them, trying to get Usagi to speak.
The next few days carried on the same way till Usagi spotted Mamoru on the sidewalk, exiting the arcade.
"Mamoru!" She called out to him from a short distance away and picked up her pace as he continued on his way. She knew he heard her. His back had stiffened more then usual and he'd picked up his pace.
"Mamoru!" She frowned and began to run towards his retreating, her voice raising with each call but he rounded a corner. She broke into a sprint and turned the corner moments later.
She stopped..
He wasn't there...
She looked one way, then the other
No sign of him...
It was like he'd vanished..
He was avoiding her
Author's notes
Ok that's a wrap for this chapter folks. It's my last week on timetable lessons at school and my exams are lurching up ARGH! I went to see Joseph and the Technicolor Dream coat last night and it was great. The guy playing Benjamin looked like a hobbit and the one playing Judah was only a few inches taller then him. I've decided I'm going to kidnap them both aswell as the singing blonde guy, the butler and Eracus sorry, not sure how it's spelt.. but yeah
I sent Baka the chorus of the Benjamin Calypso and he thought I'd lost it, apparently I forgot to tell him I was going
I was getting people to sign my book this afternoon, got 17 signatures and one page full of writing from baka with pearls of idiocy such as "There's no I in team America"" They keep photos of me, That's enough love for me" and "you can say anything you like about deaf people".. I of course took the liberty to write a page back in his and stupidly signed it "Love Megan" which I never do even though he knows I like him, ack. But I got some pretty good comments. Please tell me what you think about the chapter, I'm a little unsure about it.. I wish I had more reviews hehe
I'm going to try and get some of the tension in the next chapter, just for the sakes of it not being so mushy gushy all the time.. Good news people.. After I said something he kinda took the wrong way I'm pretty sure he said "Love you too, Megan" It was kinda sarcastic but he said it YAY.
Rose-Zen: Glad you're computer is better, hope things are ok and that you like the story. Good luck for your own and hopefully talk to ya soon hehe. Baka really is that sweet, he's great when his ego isn't bigger then the planet. I can trust him, he's amazing when it comes to reading me too.. He can work out if I'm stressed, annoyed, ready to bust with happiness and other emotions.. didn't catch me perving on him though ha-ha
Bliberal: Is your email a hotmail, yahoo or what? Sorry but it didn't give the full link to it.. although I've just had a brain wave so never mind I've got it now.. expect to find an email soon bwhahaha
Anyways, If I can keep him I will, I've already had my wedding planned out for me
Anyways.. Hope you like, review or email me or whatever and Have fun!
