Chapter Two:
I was in my room, lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling.
"Yeah, Natsume was right. There is something wrong with me. Should I change for the sake of others?" I asked myself.
Everyone was out. I went out of my room and went to Sumire's. I know this is wrong, but she wouldn't know right? I saw a mirror with a lot of make-up on the table. I took out a reddish-pink lipstick and tried it. Looks okay. I tried the eyeliner, the blush on, the mascara…
After a while, I went out of Sumire's room and went back to mine. I took out the girly-girliest outfit I can find. It was a lavender tube dress. I tried it on and walked outside. I went to my favorite tree and sat there.
"Is this what they want?" I asked myself. The sun was almost setting; you can see it through the lake. If only I have someone to share it with.
"Oi! Polka-dots!" I turned around and saw Natsume. I rolled my eyes and ignored him. "What is that?" he asked pointing at what I'm wearing.
"It's a dress, what do you think it is?"
"And that!" he pointed at my face. "You idiot." He took off the jacket he was wearing and threw it to me. "Wear this, you'll get cold. And go wash your face on the lake, you look uglier than before."
I followed what he said. He didn't seem to like what I look now. I went to the lake and washed my face until it was make-up free. I wore his jacket and went back to him. While I was walking, I watched him staring at me, he was sitting down, his left leg lying on the ground while the right one was up, and his right arm was resting on his right knee.
"What?" he asked.
"You just look so cute today." I answered honestly. He blushed.
"Did you just blush?" I teased.
"Don't be stupid."
I sat down beside him. His coat smelled good. We were quiet, both thinking of different things. Then I noticed a box beside him.
"What's that?" I asked him while pointing to the white box.
"Oh, I forgot. Here." He gave me the white box. I opened it and saw fluff puffs! My eyes sparkled.
"For me?" I asked.
"You don't want it? I'll give it to Youchi instead."
"No, I want it! You bought this for me?" I asked him.
He blushed. "Yeah. So you don't have to annoy me anymore."
"You're blushing again!" I laughed. He's so cute when he blushes then denies it.
"Don't be stupid." He said again.
We were left alone, staring into the sunset. But then, a question came into my mind. Might as well ask him, just try. Besides, he blushed twice!
"Natsume?"
"hn…"
"Do you like me?" I asked.
He looked at me.
"Who would fall for an idiot like you?" he said.
"You, maybe?" I teased. He blushed again! He can't get away with this! I laughed inside.
"Don't be stupid." He repeated.
"That's what you always say."
"That's because it's true, you idiot."
"I gotta say the view's perfect, don't you think?" I changed the subject. It was fun to tease him.
We both stared into the lake. It was perfect.
What do ya think?
