Chapter 9 - New Found Romance?

"You're going out?" Misaki pushed her luck in asking Usui a question. They had a fight last night after all, he might still be mad at her.

"Yea."

That's all he said and he didn't even look at her.

For the first time, Misaki felt awkward with Usui.

She asks one more question.

"With who?"

It feels weird for her asking that. It is so not her. She used to not care, but then…

"I'll be alone." He answers flatly and leaves the house.

Misaki sighed. "Well. Might as well get dressed."

She promised Shintani to take him to the amusement park after all.


"WHOAH. THAT WAS HELL FUN!" Shinatani exclaimed.

Misaki smiles.

After they went to the amusement park, they decided to go to a café.

Isnt that Usui?

Thump.

She swears, she felt her heart skip a beat.

She was facing the entrance and he saw him coming.

He's…smiling.

Is he okay now?

Then a girl appears behind him.

"I'll be alone."

Yeah right. What a terrible liar.

She shifts her gaze on Usui and..

THUMP.

He's looking at her. But that was for just half a second. His gaze shifted to the table near them.

"Shintani." Misaki mouthed. "Make me laugh."

Shintani drops his juice and looks at her with a poker face.

"Chickens can make you gay."

.

.

.

"pfft. Hahahaha!"

She was supposed to give a fake exaggerated laugh. But what he said was really funny. Especially when he looked so serious when he said it.

"T-thanks for this."

Misaki heard the girl with Usui spoke.

"You're welcome for nth time. But I'm really sorry your eye glasses were broke. Some careless and stupid person touched it." –usui.

"Nah. It's alright. Plus they said, it can still be fixed right? I'll get used to using contacts."

.

.

So she's the one who owns that eye glasses. She must be so important to him.

Tch.

AND WAIT A MINUTE. Was he insinuating something?

"You know what misa-chan? To be honest, I was really scared at riding that roller coaster. But thanks to you. I was able to enjoy it instead."

"Wow. To be HONEST. Great. At least you admitted it. You're not like some terrible liar I know."

Ha. You want war? I'll give you war.

.

.

.

"It's not alright. That eye glasses was precious to you. That person who broke it should be punished!" –USUI

Misaki smiled bitterly while she crushed the plastic cup of Frappuccino.

"You know.. its not really a big—" -Aki

"OH NO! I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to splash it on you." Misaki apologized while wiping Shintani's shirt.

"No need for that. Apology accepted."

"Haha. Right. You're really different. You can forgive people easily not like that jerk I know who doesn't know how to understand people."

.

.

"You know what? Aki-chan, let's go to other place. People are so careless here. We don't want to be involved in their bad luck." -Usui

"YAAAH! Are you saying I'm a bad luck?" She stood up and now looking straight at Usui. She had enough. She's so pissed off she wants to kick him in the ass.

"Did I mention your name? Oh my bad. At least you know yourself that you're a bad luck." He stood up too and apparently he's taller so he really did look like he was looking down on her LITERALLY.

"What's wrong with you? IT WAS A FREAKIN ACCIDENT. I DIDN'T MEAN TO BREAK THE GLASSES!" -Misaki

"Well, I've had enough of your carelessness!" –Usui

"At least, I'm honest in admitting my fault. How bout you? I'll be alone my tooth!" –Misaki.

Okay.

They were practically yelling in the café. But she didn't care. Neither was Usui.

"What is with you? Are you jealous?" He grinned.

Her cheeks heat up. "Don't push the blame on me!"

"FINE! AKI! LET'S GO!"

"SHINTANI COME ON!"

They looked at their tables.

They're gone.


Shintani sighed. He had enough hearing them fight like lovers.

He had enough of everything.

He knows that Usui likes her. And she.. misa-chan likes him too. TT_TT

Without thinking, he grabbed the girl who's with Usui and left the café. They went to a park near the area and sat on one the benches there.

"Ah. I'm Shintani. Well, I know that your name is Aki but we weren't formally—Are you alright?"

He saw her scratching her eyes.

"Hey, stop scratching it. It'll get worse." He gently removed her hand on her eyes.

Aki kept on blinking so he leaned forward and blew her eyes.

"You're too close." –Aki

"W-what? Ahh sorry. /" Shintani jolted back and simply scratched the back of his head.

"Thanks."

He looked at her and smiled. "No problem."

The wind blew and the leaves from the trees fell on them.

Thump.

Aki looked at him once more and smiled.

Thump.

He felt his cheeks warm and his heart beat fast.
