Disclaimer- What do you think?
After a long writer's block, I decided to keep my D.N.Angel fandom running! Here's the story!
(Daisuke's POV)
I sighed as I saw Dark and Harada-san starting to fall asleep..
Sometimes, I just wanted to hit myself with a textbook over and over again rather than go though this torture.
"Let's try this again…," I said, trying to be calm. "Here's a simple problem, what does 2(3+4-2)+3(90) equal to?" They weren't paying any attention to me. Dark was on the brink of falling asleep, and it was already too late for Harada-san. It makes me wonder how they even got to the 8th grade.
"THAT'S IT!" I slammed my math textbook down on the table in front of them. "If you're not willing to learn, then why should I waste my time on you? I should be studying for my history midterm…" With that said, I went to my room and locked it. That was a very different side of me that I don't like to show. Now that I think about it, ever since this whole ordeal began my attitude changed a lot. I wonder... was that for the better or for the worst? I mean, now I know that Harada-san isn't what she seems and Dark is a pervert, but other than that, he's pretty nice once you get to know him. He's just lazy. To make things even more harder than it already was, I was starting to develop a little crush on the elder Harada-san. Why must God hate me so? I cried mentally into my pillow. I then heard a knocking on my door. "Go away!" I shouted.
A female's voice came though the other side. "Dai-chan?" It was my mom. "I heard you yelling at your friends a few seconds ago. Is everything okay?"
I hadn't meant what I said next, but my emotions got the better of me.
"No, everything's not okay! I try my hardest to help my so-called friends but they always ignore me! You also what to know what's great? I think I have a crush on the older Harada-san and Dark is just using me to get back at Harada-san, because he's just too proud and full of himself that he couldn't ask for her back! I also found out that Harada-san is nothing
but a back stabber!" I wailed at the top of my lungs. I think Dark and the younger Harada-san heard everything I said. After I did that I quickly opened my bedroom door to apologize to them. Too bad that by that time, they already had left my house. Man, now I feel guilty for what happened.
My mom gave me a questioning look. "Daisuke, what in the world happened? I have a right to know."
I sighed. I told her about the whole incident on why I did this. She seemed to be interested on what's going on with my life so far. I guess that's one reason why she makes such a good mother. She had a sad look on her face, however, it also had a hint of happiness in there.
She patted my right shoulder. "I understand," she said, "It's hard being a teenager sometimes. I think that when you go to school tomorrow, you should start all over again, especially with Risa from what you told me about her." She got up from her seat as she started to cook for
dinner. I wasn't really in the mood for eating anything. Suddenly, I just remembered something.
"AHH!" I shouted from my chair. "I just found out my history and English midterms are tomorrow!" I ran up to my room and started studying like the wind. I didn't want to get an F for history this marking period! The same went for English. I continued with my nonstop studyin until until 1am.
The next day, I had history first. How lucky. I had my worst class first thing in the morning. Thankfully, I had enough information in my head that I was ready for just about any test.
I didn't see Dark or Harada-san, but I did see her sister. This made me worry. I was going to talk to elder Harada-san about what happened. I got up and walked over to the doorsteps where she was, then I heard a familiar voice coming from the back of me.
I heard those footsteps coming closer. "DAI-CHAN! Like, what is up?" It was Mio Hio hugging me. "I totally missed seeing you!" We saw eachother the day before... "So how have you been?" She asked.
I sighed while Harada-san walked right past me and sat in her seat. "Hio-san, I
hope you don't mind, but I'm trying to talk to Harada-san. I hope you don't take this seriously but could you just leave me alone?"
She looked at me like I was crazy. "Why? I mean I am your friend after all." I sighed once more. I guess I should know it's her nature to never think about other people's feelings. However, she whispered something into my ear before I could say anything. 'Since I'm your friend, take this advice: you should say something to Riku.'
I gave her a questioning look. How does she know?
She continued on when she saw the expression on my face. "Haven't you heard? It's all over the school. You made some rude comments about Dark and Risa yesterday, everyone's calling you a really bad friend."
I was shocked yet furious. Does gossip really travel that fast? Hio-san was right though, no one really said hello to me that day, and normally people would have. I turned my direction to gaze at the older Harada-san. She just sighed when she saw me. Was that the reason why she didn't say anything to me? I was just happy that Hio-san was talking to me.
"Say something to her already!" she whispered before she pushed me into the room. "If you like her then pull a fast one on her!"
I smiled while she cheered me on. I walked over to Harada-san, but I had a feeling she knew what was going to happen. "Harada-san?" I asked her.
She looked up at me. "What?"
Isn't it ironic how things are falling into place? I was about to tell Harada-san how I feel about her, but then in came sensei Izumi shouting out the words I didn't want to hear the most right now.
"CLASS!" she yelled out with a megaphone as she slammed the test papers on her desk. I could hear her table cracking, probably because the stack of papers seemed to weigh about ten pounds each! "TEST!" Everyone moaned, noticing how big the midterm was. "Do it or you'll all fail!"
With the whole class being scared of her, they did what they were told. She passed out the test to each student. After scanning the first page of it, I had no idea what the answers to the questions were, let alone even understanding what the question was talking about. I studied for the wrong thing! I kind of panicked a bit. Okay, Daisuke calm down, at times like these there's always a way to figure out an answer. Too bad I normally don't listen to my own advic, now I'm here looking at the test like an idiot while others seem to be doing just fine. Afterwards, in five minutes, I decided to roll up my school's outfit's sleeves, took a deep breath and winged the whole entire thing. I did meet up with some questions that I studied for, luckily, sadly though, most of them I didn't know.
I looked up at the clock. It was already time for the English midterm, the place where this whole incident started. I gave Izumi-sensei my midterm with a discouraged look and she gave me a sympathetic expression. How fortune it is of me that instead of me going to elder Harada-san she came to me, sighing like this was something she didn't want to do. This was going to end badly.
"Good luck, Dai-chan!" Hio-san whispered. "You'll need it!"
I smiled at her once more, whereas Harada-san and I walked to our next class. "Niwa, I think we need to talk," she said. "I already know you have a crush on me. I can see where you're getting at with my younger sister, she's evi sometimes."
"I understand," I simply replied. I could hear students mumbling in the hallways. "I need to know, do you like me back?"
There wasn't a comment or any word for a minute or two in the hallways of the school. Finally, she broke the silence between us. "I'm sorry, but I don't. I only think of you as a friend and nothing more. I hope you'll forgive me," she said, heading toward the direction of where her English class was located.
That put me in a bad mood. What type of person wouldn't after seeing the person you have a crush on rejecting you like that? I didn't even want to lift my head up to glimpse what was in front of me. I might as well get hurt to have the pain to stop. I eventually got to my English class. I saw Dark coming into the scene, another great way to start the day.
He came to my desk with a smirk on his face. "Why the long face, Dai-chan? Did something bad happen?" I was used to him calling me 'Dai-chan' by then. "Smile!" It made me wonder how he could act like nothing happened the day before.
I glared at him. "Wouldn't you like to make my life more miserable as it is?" I said with an ice-cold tone of voice. "Can't you leave me alone?"
"Fine, be distant for the rest of your life. It's not my fault that Risa's older sister rejected you." With that, he went back to the far seat of the classroom. This is why I hate gossip. I wanted to tell everyone when I was ready but instead they arrive as soon as it is over. The teacher immediately handed out the midterm to my classmates, apparently they were talking about it, too. I didn't feel that I should be doing anything; I just want to sulk in my room. Unfortunetly, the district wouldn't allow something as a heart broken love be a distress to your grades. I didn't care if I failed the English midterm. I wanted to be alone.
The bell rang. I ran back home with tears in my eyes. I hate this! I felt a pat behind my back, it was Dark holding my shirt collar when I opened my mouth. What did he want now?
"Where do you think you're going? I still have a bone to pick with you for making that comment about me yesterday. I think you owe me an apology," he said with in ab angry tone, he was also glaring straight into my eyes. The old Dark was back. You know what that means, time to run like the wind! I did so and ran as fast and as far as I could away from him, just like old times.
How sad is my fate? I ran into a dead end with a brick wall in my way. 'I'm going to die here, aren't I?' I thought. Noises were echoing around the walls. I felt him hugging around my waist, he was breathing on my neck and started nipping on it. What in the world is he going to do with me? He's not going to rape me is he? He whispered something into my ear.
"Gotcha," he said before patting my head from behind. "You're a pretty fun person to tease. I'm glad that I met you or this wouldn't be any fun, now would it?" I felt like pounding the shit out of him, what was he thinking?
I turned around to give him a death glare. "Just leave me alone okay?"
He smirked. "Sure, whatever. You still haven't changed one bit." He left the alleyway and most likely went back to his house. What did he mean by that statement? I thought it was none of my concern, I should be heading for home where my mom was waiting for me.
(Riku's POV)
I finally got home; the stupid bus never comes on time. I would have walked if I didn't live about some five miles away from the school with an overprotective mother who is worried you'll get kidnapped. I probably have more chances of getting kidnapped by the people on the bus rather than walking where millions of other people will witness the whole thing.
In any case, I was home.
I took my shoes off at the doorway. "Risa! I'm home!" I shouted to my younger sibling. She was probably in her room playing with her tarot cards again. Why does she believe in something like that? I think they are just a waste of money to buy cheap products that don't even work. She didn't say anything back to me, the least she could have done was say, 'Welcome home Riku!'
I went up to her room. "Risa, what are you doing now?" I wasn't surprised that she skipped school to do something like this again.
My twin started at me. "I got the skull-less heart. Something bad will happen to someone near you, that person will get hurt soon."
I wonder was my rejection to Daisuke the answer? Or was it that Dark will harm him soon? I didn't know, however, I did know that it involved my friend.
Risa started to laugh. "I have a feeling that Niwa will reject Dark, and that will cause Dark to kill him since he thinks that if he can't have Niwa than no one can. He could just die for all I care."
I had no choice, I slapped her across the right cheek. I know she hates Daisuke for what happened between him and her ex. "What are you saying? Just because you have an extreme dislike for him doesn't mean you can go around saying he can die! You should be ashamed of yourself, at least be nice enough to respect other people!" Now I was mad. I wanted to go to my room and take my anger out on my bedroom pillow rather then my sister.
End of chapter 6
What do you think? It's starting to become more dramatic isn't it? Anyway, please review and please tell me what are the things I need to work on!
