False/True Love 3: Changes

-*[]*-[]-*[]*-

.

Monday morning. Raku Ichijo goes to school earlier because he is on the duty with Kosaki Onodera. Being excited, Raku made it first in their room and Onodera came in after a couple of minutes. They started doing their duties with awkward feeling but with more happiness that they are alone again together first in the morning.

Afterwards, Maiko Shuu came in with his usual smile like this à (^ω^). He already approached Raku, eyeing him with a teasing look that make Raku sweat drop. Most of their classmates are already on their classroom that's why Shuu pulled Raku outside, going to the vending machine.

"Ne Raku, did you enjoy your date?" He immediately asked, the moment they reach the vending machine, while rising his eyebrow up and down.

"D-Date?" Raku asked as if he didn't get what he was asking.

"Yep! Your date… with… Onodera." Shuu answered arms cross.

"Oh that? Of course I enjoyed it." Raku proudly said, closing his eyes while keep on talking what happened on their date, until he realized something and opened his eyes to look at Shuu, smiling at him, "H-How did you know about that Shuu? Are you stalking us?"

"Woah? Stalking you guys? No way! I just happened to saw you guys at the ice cream parlor when I was strolling." Shuu explained and put his thumb and index finger under his chin in a check-like position while thinking. "But I thought that day was your date with Kirisaki-san?" Shuu suddenly get serious.

"Well, yeah!" Raku responded thinking about his conversation with Chitoge, again, that day.

Raku explained to Shuu what happened until Chitoge and Tsugumi came and greeted them. Chitoge being curious what were they talking outside; keep on asking Raku what they were talking, but Raku make up another story about it. So Chitoge just let it and open a new topic: a topic about him and Onodera's date.

"So did Kosaki-chan enjoy the date?" Chitoge asked cheerfully. They entered their classroom and Ruri and Onodera greeted her.

"Why don't you just ask her yourself?" Raku said annoyed because of feeling nervous about their topic.

"That's right. I'll ask her later." It seems to him that Chitoge is getting used on smiling at him sweetly and that's really making him blush even more.

It felt like he is not yet ready to see Chitoge being nice to him. He is used to get beaten by her. He is used seeing her angry by just calling her gorilla. He is used seeing her excited even if it's just a simple thing. But maybe, she's just really in a good mood that's why she's being nice today. At least, he won't get hit anymore by a gorilla.

The class started. Chitoge is now used in writing Japanese and does get along with everyone except with Tachibana. During lunch time, Chitoge is with Onodera, Ruri, and Tsugumi, eating their bento, while Raku is with Shuu. Continuing eating their bento, Chitoge started the conversation.

"Kosaki-chan, did you enjoy your date with the beansprout?" She bluntly said that make Ruri stared at Onodera with a meaning look and Tsugumi turn to look at her. Luckily, Tachibana is not around.

"H-H-H-H-Huuuuh?" Onodera choked and gulp.

"What is she talking about Kosaki?" Ruri asked in her usual facial expression.

"T-T-That's right Ojou. When did they have a d-d-date?" Tsugumi asked, now looking beside her, where Chitoge is sitting.

"The day before yesterday." She answered bluntly again without even realizing why Onodera's face is extremely getting red.

"How come, Ojou that day was your date with Ichijo Raku, right?" Tsugumi asked uncertainty. While Ruri look really puzzled now by thinking how in the world those circumstances happened. And Onodera didn't even tell it to her.

So Chitoge explained everything why something like that happened. Then Ruri pushed Onodera to tell them what exactly happened on her date with Raku. Although she told it to them hesitantly, she manages to end the story, even though she already felt like vanishing from where she is sitting because of embarrassment.

Lunch ended and classes resume then dismissal. Ruri and Onodera stay for a little longer in their classroom. Packing up their things, Ruri opened the topic about her date again with Raku. Onodera's face turns red and smile just by the thought of it. Seeing Onodera being happy, Ruri gave her a small smile too.

"So did you enjoy your date with Raku?" Ruri asked crossing her arms and leaning on the table at her back.

"Y-Yeah. It was a very great experience." Onodera answered putting her right hand on the part of her heart.

"I should not ask the obvious especially that that date is with someone you like. Good job Kosaki." Ruri gave her thumbs up and patted her head.

"Thanks Ruri-chan." She responded before she picks her bag to go home.

The next day, on their P.E class, Raku and Shuu are both sitting on the grass leaning their back on the fence and watching Chitoge, trying to teach Onodera and Ruri an acrobatic stunt. Ruri is on her usual poker face, while Onodera is looking nervous and Chitoge seems very excited being their mentor in acrobats.

"Raku don't you think Kirisaki-san is not in her usual self?" Shuu asked out of the blue, still looking at the girls' direction while Raku turn to face him with confusion.

"I don't think so. Why do you say so?" Raku asked, now looking at Chitoge.

"I don't know. It's just… looks like she's… acting." Shuu answered though he's not even sure what he wants to say.

"Acting? Come on Shuu, you're just maybe not yet used on her changes." Raku answered nonchalantly.

"Maybe… or maybe not." Shu just shrugged and lay at the grass.

"Oy gorilla." Raku shouted at Chitoge, whose now looks like wants to break one of their boy classmates' arms. After that shout, Chitoge hurriedly go where Raku is and gave him an uppercut, throwing Raku at the top of the fence.

"Who are you calling gorilla? You stupid beansprout." Chitoge walk back to Ruri and Onodera more irritated.

"Do you still think that she's not in her usual self?" Raku asked Shuu right away when he got back on his sit.

"Did you do that on purpose?" He asked.

"Of course not! Why would I let myself get punch by that gorilla anyway?" Raku rested his chin in his palm while Shuu just laugh at what he says.

Day ended with Chitoge in her mood swings with Raku and that's what he seems like he was just looking for yesterday. Shuu might be right that Chitoge is not in her usual self but Raku thinks that maybe Chitoge has a reason for changing. And we all know that people obviously change… for a reason. Thus, whatever reason it is that Chitoge is changing for is fine with Raku. Chitoge is still Chitoge, and he is sure about that. He maybe sound like he know her well, but he know himself he don't. It's just… he's fine whatever Chitoge's attitudes might be towards him and other, as long as she won't act cold towards with him ever again.
