Chapter Three:
As we watched the sunset, no words came out of our mouths. I looked at Natsume. I like him this way. He seems so nice and quiet.
"Stop staring, you idiot." Natsume said without looking at me. "Why do you keep staring at me?"
"Nothing." I answered. "You just seem different today, that's all."
Silence.
"Natsume?"
"Hn…"
"You're so popular, why don't you have a date today?" I asked. "I'm sure a lot of girls asked you."
"Because I don't want to go out." He answered, still not looking.
"Go out? But you did, you bought---"I stopped as I realized what I was saying. Natsume didn't want to go out, but he went to Central Town to buy me Fluff Puffs. I blushed.
"Don't you like any of them?" I asked.
"No" was his only answer.
I fell silent. But then again, a question came into mind.
"Do you like anyone?"
He looked at me.
"Would you stop throwing me idiotic questions?" he said with a glare.
I smiled at him. Maybe he does. He smirked.
"What about you, little girl?" he asked.
I looked up at the almost night sky. I really don't know, do I? I asked myself. I crossed my arms and looked at Natsume.
"No." I lied. I'm all confused.
Natsume didn't say anything. He looked away and continued looking at the lake. I still continued to look at him. Even though he's such a jerk, somehow, he makes me happy.
"Again, idiot, stop staring or I'll burn your hair." He suddenly said. I stopped staring. He stood up.
"C'mon, polka-dots, It's dinner time."
"Stop calling me polka-dots!"
"Only if you stop wearing them, but then again, there's still strawberries."
I blushed in embarrassment. I stood up.
"You're such a pervert!" I shouted, he laughed and walked first. I followed him.
He walked first with his hands inside his pocket.
When we got into the cafeteria, there were just a few people. A few couples who chose not to spend the day in Central Town, some people who didn't have dates and us… together. Natsume and I shared the same table. As we passed by, people whispered, I know what they're saying, why is Natsume with this girl on Valentines Day. Natsume didn't seem to care. We sat down with our food. My food got better since I'm a 3-stars already while as always, Natsume was as rich as ever. After finishing our meals, Natsume stood up.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"What do you care?" he said.
I put the ends of my two index fingers together.
"Well, I'm alone." I confessed.
"So what?"
He's beginning to irritate me with his remarks. I just looked at him. He sighed and walked on. I followed. He led me to his room. It was big, with a four-poster bed near the wall, a couch on the left, an armchair near the fireplace and a soft cushion near the windows. He opened the windows and went out; I still followed although I was scared. He walked calmly, like he's never going to die, I walked as safe as possible, actually it was more of a crawl. Then he lied down with his hands behind his head. He closed his eyes. I sat beside him.
"You're gonna sleep here?" I asked. That's a weird way to sleep.
"You really are an idiot." He said without answering my question.
I sighed and imitated his position, but it got a little uncomfortable. I involuntarily moved closer to him as my eyes began to droop. I can already hear his heartbeat. He didn't seem to mind that my head was resting on his chest.
Chapter Four will be coming soon :) Thanks for the reviews
