Chapter seven, people! Thanks for all of your reviews and such; I've never gotten so many! Sorry for the wait…(sweatdrop) I had a slight writers' block. Needless to say, this isn't my best chapter. Thank you for reading!
Disclaimer: I do not own Beauty Pop or any of its characters. Boo hoo.
Narumi's POV
That's it…She'll choose Ochiai over me…
"…mi!"
Eh?
I turned.
"Narumi!"
Mussy Head!?
"Did you just call me Narumi?" I asked when she had run up to me. She looked up at me, her hands on her knees. She was tired from her running.
"I did. I though it would get your attention," she panted.
I would have turned if you said something else anyway…
She held up a tube of medicine.
"You left this. Ochiai was about to pick it up."
Ochiai…I don't want to here his name…not from you…
"So why didn't you leave it?" I asked flatly.
She tilted her head slightly. Her short hair curved around her face and made her eyes seem so wide and innocent…
B-BMP!
"I thought you were keeping the medicine a secret…Was I wrong?"
Why is she so perceptive? How much do you actually know!?
"No…You were right…"
"Thought so…so here…" she thrust the medicine into my free hand. My wrist was still sore and swollen and I dropped the tube instantly.
"…Ow."
She grabbed my hand and pulled back my sleeve. My wrist was huge and purple.
"… You didn't use the right amount of medicine last time, did you?"
I tried to pull back, but her grip was firm, and to tell you the truth, her hand was warm and it was cold outside. It felt nice.
"…So? I didn't know that there was a right amount…" I defended myself pathetically.
She let go and started to unscrew the cap of the medicine.
"Oh, you don't have to do that…I'll do it at home," I said weakly. I hid my wrist behind my back.
This is embarrassing…
She held her hand out. I made the mistake of looking at her face. My will crumbled and I stuck out my wrist. She gently took it and started to apply the medicine.
I'm enjoying this way, too much…
I watched her face. She looked like she could smile any moment, her face was so peaceful...
"Hmm? What?" she asked. I realized that I had been staring at her, too long. I felt my face go red.
"It's nothing," I whispered to the ground, "Thanks…" I said even softer.
"What was that last part? I'm afraid I didn't hear it."
Don't ruin my moment…
I bent down next to her ear. "I said thanks…" I whispered. I felt her shiver slightly and pulled away.
"Are you feeling okay? You haven't been your usual self…" she said. She almost sounded nervous….
I can't help it…
"I'm feeling a little…odd," I admitted. I took a step back from her. "I should get going; my dad will worry if I'm not home…"
"You don't have Beauty College, today?"
Uhh…
"I don't feel like going. Anyway," I held up my wrist, "I couldn't cut hair even if I wanted to…"
She nodded and started to walk down the road.
Just like that, she left…
I shook my head and jogged home. My dad wouldn't be there anyway…
Narumi's POV still
I shut my door slowly and then took a leap onto my bed. My wrist was already feeling better.
I should probably do something…Keep my mind occupied…
I picked up guitar. I already had an idea for a song. I strummed a few chords to warm up. My wrist gave me no trouble at all.
"It's what you do to me…" I hummed.
Guh! I'm sorry that I didn't use Kei's, Kiri's or Ochiai's POV like so many of you requested! I couldn't think of a good story concerning them at the moment… Here's what, I'll take a vote. When you put a review (and please put a review!) put your request for the next POV! If there's a tie, I'll chose whichever one I can write about easiest. So please review so I can crank out another a chapter!
