Star Crossed
Chapter-1
Unanticipated feelings
"Excuse me! Coming through! Sorry, I didn't mean it!" A brunette with deep blue orbs and flowing long hair shouted as she pushed through the mass of people gathered in front of the notice board. Today was her long awaited day, the day the midterm results would be published. Everything she did until now, all her hard work, would get a result today. She closed her eyes and heaved a sigh as she finally managed to stop in front of the board. Crossing her fingers she silently prayed. Lord….please…please, at least this time…..
Finally she opened her eyes and stared the results on the board.
School Toppers
Minamino Shuichi 500/500
Midori Ayukawa 493/500
Why? Why was the world so cruel to her? She has done her level best…..worked her butt off, but Minamino still managed to score 7 points more than her. 7 measly points….Damn that Shuichi! I am sure he didn't even open his book for this exam! She silently cursed in her mind. Oh how she hated to be second when compared to him. She hated Shuichi, after all which sane girl wouldn't hate him? She smiled unconsciously as she made her way out of the overwhelming crowd.
"So did you get past Minamino-kun?" Midori lifted her face to see a short girl with blonde hair and golden eyes. She smiled.
"I am afraid I lost Akio….again," she stressed the last part dangerously. Akio smiled honestly. She was already familiarized with Midori's obsession of competing with Minamino.
"Well, there is always next time." She consoled her knowing quite well it wouldn't work.
"NEXT TIME? What do you mean next time? There is only one more term before graduation! What am I supposed to do after that?" Midori puffed her cheeks angrily. She didn't mean to get angry at Akio but she just couldn't stop frustration from taking over her.
"At least you have one more term Midori and quit shouting at Akio, you are making the poor thing cry." Midori turned back to see the owner of the voice she knew too well, her childhood friend Ryuu. He grinned at her before making his way to Akio and patting her on the head.
"You alright? Did she yell at you like last time?" Ryuu asked her fondly. She shook her head. Gosh! Did Ryuu have to be so obvious that he likes her? It's not like the entire school has to know that they are dating.
"Why don't you stop this anyways? All we have is one more term and frankly speaking Midori, after you made that bet with Minamino , you are no fun at all. Just think of our middle school days…weren't they great? The pranks that we pulled, the detentions that we received-
"That's enough Ryuu. I made that bet and I am not planning to back down at all. I will try my best, no matter what. Even if it means my high school life would be…would be…" She choked on her words. Truth to be told, she regretted making that bet on the first day of her school. It totally spoiled her high school life. She had friends and she knew she was pretty popular but it was her dream to get a boyfriend, like all the other girls. But her studies took up most of the time and before she knew it high school life was already over. If she knew it would take her this long she would have never made that bet in the first place and now that she did, she had no way to back down. She remembered her words that day, only too clearly...
"If you think beating me is that easy, why don't you give it a try? After all, you have got a whole year," Shuichi smirked at her, his eyes boring into her. She would have been captivated by his emerald eyes if it weren't for his words that struck her hard.
"It's a deal Minamino. Before the year ends, I promise I will wipe the floor with you, at least once."
"Sure Midori. Let's see who wins."
That was it, that's when she sealed the deal to doom. That stupid jerk face Minamino! How dare he call her by her first name? Even now he calls her by her first name, paying no heed to her warnings. How she wished she could stick to her words…wipe the floor with him.
"Wipe the floor with me huh? Well that won't be very easy Midori." She turned to see a smirking Shuichi walk towards with no less cockiness on his face from what she saw yesterday. She kept her silence but her eyes widened in surprise as realization hit her like cold water.
"How did you what I was thinking?" She turned to him abruptly, her deep blue orbs demanding the perfect answer.
"Just a wild hypothesis, I suppose," his eyes sparkled with amusement as he watched her every movement. "So let me guess, judging by the look on your face, I won again didn't I?"
That was it, his smirk was really getting on her nerves. This idiot…
"By 7 points," Ryuu thumped him on his back playfully, before giving him a five. Midori fumed.
"That's big. Were you slacking off Midori-chan?" Shuichi asked playfully.
"Nah..she worked alright! Maybe she can never surpass you, yeah that's it."
"Aww..don't disappoint her Ryuu! Besides if she quits, then who would provide me with enough competition to make me open my books," Shuichi smirked at her.
"Yeah, you have a point."
"Just whose side are you on Ryuu?!" Midori demanded.
"Umm…the winner's side?" He replied jokingly. But a death glare from Midori soon changed that.
"Oh come on Midori I was-
Midori didn't listen. Instead she walked towards Minamino and leaned towards him until their faces were inches apart. Shuichi's eyes grew wide.
"I- am-going- to- wipe-the-floor-with-your-red mop-Shuichi!" She poked his right cheek with her index finger. Shuichi smiled as he grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him in a tight hug.
"I will be waiting." He felt her flinch in his arms before struggling to break free.
"Let me go you jerk!" She shouted as she pulled away from his arms. By now the two had already attracted a great deal of attention. The crowd's attention which was once on the notice board was now upon them. Midori looked around her anxiously.
"Isn't that Shuichi-kun and Midori?"
"What are they doing?"
"Are they dating?"
"Don't tell me Midori's 'I will defeat Minamino' was an act for her to be close to him!"
Midori's eyes blazed as she turned to Minamino, trying her best to keep her tears from falling.
"I hate you Shuichi! I really do!" She screamed at his face, well aware of the drops streaking across her face. With one abrupt look, she spun on her heel and fled.
At that moment she thought she saw something different in his eyes. Guilt perhaps? She mentally slapped herself for thinking that. No, he wasn't a human to feel all those feelings. He was a demon in his attitude and he hated her just like she hated him...
"Hey Shuichi, are you alright?" Ryuu glanced at his friend worriedly. His eyes had this look that he had seen on them once or twice before. Shuichi smiled at her retreating figure.
"At least she called me by my first name…"
hehe.. How was it? Liked it? Hated it?
Do Review alright? It will help me to know whether you guys like it or not. Also, do you want me to continue? The chapters wouldnt be updated that fast cuz I am having my exams but I will try my best!
Bye~
