100 Days with Mr. Arrogant
-------------------------------
Chapter Four: Trouble
"Ishida, let me go!" Mimi exclaimed.
"Whatever you say…" then he suddenly removed his grip at her arm and Mimi almost came tumbling down the stairs. He looked back to check her. Then he smirked.
"That's for colliding with me." He muttered.
"What?" Mimi cried out, catching up to him. "What about that!"
"It hurt, so you must hurt too."
"That's unfair!" she said aloud. "It wasn't my fault! There were lots of people and it's a clear accident."
"Then pretend that what I did was an accident." He answered her and stopped. They arrived at the classroom already.
Mimi stood almost 3 feet away him before she entered the classroom. "Afraid of me?"
"Of course not!" she haughtily said "someone might see us."
"So what?" he said, pulling her hand. Mimi pulled away.
"Let go!" she cried. The students at the classroom looked at the both of them. Luckily, no fan girl has arrived yet. Mimi sighed. Yamato found a seat near the back. When he saw Mimi going towards the front, he placed an arm around her shoulders.
"You're staying beside me."
"No way!"
"I promised Hikari that I'll take care of you," he smirked. "You'll be my little sister today."
"No! I don't want a brother." She said. "I want to remain an only child."
Yamato shrugged his shoulders. Then he sighed. Annoying girl, why do I have to do these? He looked at his foot. Oh yeah… she still has one debt. She's gonna pay for my sneakers. This is expensive!
Yamato's fury began to rise up again.
-------------------------------
After the class, Mimi hastened to get out of her last class. Again, as she was thinking, she and that Ishida are always in the same class.
"No wonder," she whispered "We're taking the same course."
She ran as fast as she could to escape him. Yamato on the other hand was drowned in his lovely fans. When he tried to look for Mimi on the classroom, she had escaped already, and he cannot find the girl anywhere that building.
"Darn, she got away." He murmured, looking at his watch. "It's still early; why don't I look for her?"
His conscience spoke up, "Just leave the girl alone, you know that you really are not angry."
"No way!" he cleared that thought. "I am Ishida Yamato. Whatever I want, I get it." Then he ran away the place, started to look for Mimi. "And she's gonna pay for the trouble she's caused me today."
-------------------------------
"Wooh!" Mimi sighed, and taking another deep breath. "That's it. He's not gonna find me here!"
"Oops, I forgot about Sora!" Mimi said, running back. "But if I ran back, Ishida might find me again. What am I gonna do!"
She stayed near the gate for a while. She sighed. "I cannot wait for Sora here forever; she might find me inside too." She thought. "Okay, I'll be risking my freedom to find her!"
She went off the gate and went back to the meeting place, which is the school garden. She looked around, and luckily, no one seems to be around.
"Okay, since Mimi's last class will take a long time… I should go now and take a look first,"
She walked around the beautiful garden and found it so great. There are lots of flowers and trees there. She was suddenly relaxed and she forgot about the recent happenings. The wind was calm, and all flowers are in full bloom. Mimi can't help but smile in contentment. Until…
"Oh, it's you again, Missy…" a voice said, and then when she looked at her back, it was not Yamato.
"Rei?" she asked. "What are you---"
"It's fat chance…" Rei said, getting closer to Mimi. "I happen to pass by and look what I saw."
Mimi knew he was planning something so she got back to her senses and ran away from him. When she reached the exit to the garden, some members of Rei's gang intercepted her.
"Where are you just going? We will go on a date!" he said and he laughed. "You have no escape now…"
"H-Hey… I am… NOT GOING!" she tried to ran away, but in every exit she's trying, a gang member was there to prevent her… now she's miserable in getting out.
-------------------------------
Yamato seemed to lose his stamina already. He finally surrendered.
"Okay, I'm not following her again!" he clutched his fists. "I'm looking more of an idiot now. Why do I enjoy seeing her with that pathetic face?"
He stood up. "I'll just go home…" he thought.
"LET ME GO, YOU JERKS!" he heard a yell not far from where he was standing. And the female voice was just familiar. But then, he shook the idea that it was her.
"What does that girl have, I'm already hallucinating about her!" his bros furrowed. "And besides, I am not going after her anymore."
Then he walked towards the school garden. He was looking down to the road he was taking, when suddenly…
Mimi got angry with Rei's stupid game, and she finally did something. She used her heels to step on one of the guy's foot, and ran without looking on her way. Unexpectedly, she ran on the same man again…
"I-Ishida! Take me with you!" she exclaimed, looking at her back and grasping his arm. Yamato blinked his eyes to see if he's just hallucinating. "Get a grip, Yamato. You've lost it!" he said.
"What are you talking about? Let's go!" Mimi cried.
"Wait a second! Why would you involve me with your mess?" he said angrily. "No. I'm staying."
"Please? Those guys are running after me!"
"Then solve it yourself." He removed her hand from his arm. He walked away as if nothing happened. Then…
"She hasn't gotten any farther yet!" some guy said. Mimi was really a slow runner and she's not that good in sports. Besides, she's wearing high heels.
"Oww!" she cried out. "My feet are killing me!" she stopped for a moment. Yamato remain standing from a distance.
"That's it, I do not have to make her pay back." He smiled to himself. But his conscience spoke up again.
"Are you just saying that you'll let the poor girl suffer?"
"Ahhh! Stop it!" he yelled to himself, but everyone heard it. The "Rei Gang" and Mimi looked at him.
"Ishida Yamato?"
"What the---" Yamato said, suddenly feeling awkward. "Wait--- I'm not involved with her… I…"
"Don't lie to us!" Rei shouted. "I know you want this girl! But sorry, I found her first so…"
Yamato was simply walking away. "Shut up, I said I wasn't involved."
"Get him!" Rei ordered. While they were all busy, Mimi had the chance to get away. She escaped now and then on her way out, Sora was walking.
"Mimi! " she called out. "Where have you been?"
"Let's go home!" she cried out… then she pulled Sora's hand and they went to her car.
"What's the matter with you?"
"I didn't know that guys here are so desperate!"
"What?"
"Nothing, let's just go now!" she started the engine and the car moved away the school…
-------------------------------
"That was an easy job…" Yamato said. "But I'm aching all over..!" he thought. As he was walking away the garden, he saw something scattered on the floor.
"A wallet?" he thought. He opened it and saw the identification card, and unbelievably, he kept it.
Tachikawa, Mimi
He smiled to his contentment, and walked away the pathetic Rei and his fellows.
