Chapter 8 – A Fight?
"Bl-blood?" Usui heard her mutter as he crossed the space between them.
"Ah..ah miss?" Usui awkwardly reached out his hand.
Then she fainted in his arms.
At the Hospital.
"How is she?" Usui asked the doctor who just came.
"Still unconscious, but she's fine now. Just a slight concussion. Are you his….?"
"uuhhh, just a concerned citizen who passed by when she fainted. " he smiled nervously. Yeah he lied. As if he can just tell that he's the one who threw the can on her head. It was an accident anyway.
"I see. Be sure to call her family then. I'll be going."
Then the doctor left while Usui went inside the room.
He sat in a chair near the girl's bed. His eyes scanned the table near him. Just a vase of plastic flowers, a decoration maybe, the girl's bag and blood-smeared eyeglasses. He picks it up carefully.
"Hmn. She looks a lot different now with her glasses removed. Oh yes!" He remembered that he should call her family so pockets the eye glasses on the table and picks her bag.
"Found it!" He opened her phone and looked for her family contacts.
Hmn.
He scrolled further.
"Who are you?"
"HOLYCRAP! Hey, you scared the hell out of me." Usui almost dropped the phone his holding. Who'd blame him? The girl's eyes suddenly opened and she switched to sitting position, so quietly he didn't even notice it.
The girl bowed her head though and apologized.
"Oh no no. I should be the one saying sorry here. Uhh. Sorry. It was an accident. I didn't intend to do it." He looked at her straight in the eye.
"Ah." She touched her head as if she remembered the incident. "Well, apology accepted." She smiled for the first time which surprised Usui.
"Oh by the way, what are you doing with my phone?"
"Ah! I was about to call you parents."
She suddenly snatched the phone. "No need for that! I mean.. I just don't want them to worry. Plus, I'm fine now. In fact, can I leave now?"
For a second, Usui thought she's cute. He guessed that she's probably 2 years younger than him.
The girl got up on her feet and wobbled.
"Hey! Easy. Why are you in such a hurry?" He said as he steadied her.
"Not really but.." She bit her lip. "Forget it."
"Okay. I'll call the doctor then." He was about to reach the door knob when she speaks again.
"Wair mr. Have you seen my eye glasses?" She said like a kid looking for her toy.
"About that… Can I just buy you another one? Tomorrow. I'll just tell you the other details later. Name's Usui by the way." He flashed one of his killer smiles before he left the room completely.
Usui leans in the door and sighs.
"She kinda resembles my mother".
The night after.
"USUI! DINNER'S READY!"
No response.
Misaki really hates waiting, especially when it's time for food. She thinks that letting the blessing wait is not good. Plus. The stew is getting cold already.
She goes upstairs and knocks on Usui's room.
"Usui! Let's eat."
Still no response.
She twists the door knob. Heh. Its open.
This guy needs some beating up.
"EH? Where on earth is he?"
It's her first time to be in his room. Okay, not really first time but, it's her first time to scan the room.
His room is clean and neat. Actually, it's really plain. His bed sheets are black and white. His wallpaper is white. But he's got a lot of books.
She moved closer to his study table.
There are some pile of books, mangas, DVDs, games.. well he's kinda messy on this part.
"What is this?" She notices an eye glasses. It smeared with blood so she picked it up just then the door opened.
"Misaki?"
"AH!" She dropped the eye glasses. "Oh no."
"HEY!" He went closes and picked up the glasses.
It was broken.
"I'm so sor—"
"LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE! HOW CAN YOU BE SO CARELESS?"
His voice suddenly freaked her out. It's her first time to see him so angry.
"I didn't.. I…"
"Out. I said get out." This time, he said it with a calm and cold voice.
She left.
The phone on his pocket vibrates.
Father calling…..
He closes his eyes and throws the phone.
Ok.
