Chapter 4 is here! I'm sorry for being late, school has beem stressful latly but I hope you like this chap :D

I barely touched my lunch, not even remove my chopsticks from my mouth as I watched his every action through the corner of my eye. Meroko and Izumi were arguing again, Takuto was eating his food in silence with his eye closed. He hasn't spoken to me after what happened earlier neither would he look at me, as if avoiding eye contact. He told me to forget about the earlier event, but how could I?

Flashback

Takuto's fist was still placed on the same spot were he hit it, drops of blood began to run down his fingers but he couldn't care less of the bloody injure. His hand dropped from the wall and eventually turned to face me. Surprisingly he had a smile on his face. "I'm sorry...I don't know what came over me, just forget about it." after that said he left me there alone in the hallway.

End of flashback

Does he really believe I can let go of it just like that?! Smiling a problem off would make someone more worried than necessary. Geez, who knows what that guy's thinking...

"Mitsuki, are you alright? You haven't eaten anything yet" Meroko asked bringing me back to reality.

"Huh? Oh yeah I'm fine!" I replied as I finally began to eat.

I could feel Takuto glare at me for a moment, I turned my head at his his direction but he instantly looked elsewhere. A few minutes went by and yet again Meroko asked if I was ok. She always seemed to see through me, I had to think of something fast but then I realized there no point in lying, she knows me too well.

"I don't really feel so good, I think I should be heading to the nurse" It wasn't a complete lie but I still felt bad for it.

"Let me take you there" Takuto offered.

I shook my head signing a no "It's ok"

I really don't want to talk at the moment, especially not with Takuto, maybe later when I feel better.

"Are you sure? You never been there, I'll guide you" The black hired boy reminded me.

"No, I um... passed by there the other day, but thanks anyways" I replied fast trying to put a smile on my face. I knew lying was wrong and I'm not the type who make lies, but I just want to be alone at the moment to think. The teens gave me a suspicious glare, I could feel sweat drop down my forehead.

"Alright, be careful" Meroko sighed. I gave her a smile and left the small room.

A sigh escaped my lips as I began to walk around the building, away from my friends. Well, I guess I'll have to find the office on my own so I can rest for a while "Um excuse me, where can I find the nurses office?" I asked some random guy who passed by.

*Time skip*

I threw myself on the white hospital-like bed; facing the celling, thinking about the earlier event in the class room. Letting out an heavy sigh of relief -which I did awfully a lot today- I began recalling what happened the other night at TeenNight. I didn't even fight myself to stay awake as I allowed my body and mind to drift into a slumber.

Meroko's pov

As we gave her a suspicious glare, I could see a sweat drop run down her forehead. The guys didn't seem to notice it so I thought I could act along. Mitsuki never lies except if she doesn't want people worrying about her. I wonder if it's that she is trying to hide.

"Alright, be careful" I sighed.

Mitsuki gave me a smile of gratefulness and left the 'secret' room where Takuto could avoid fan girl.

Mitsuki's pov

"Are you alright Kouyama-san? Would you like to go home? Should I call your parents to pick you up?" The school nurse woke me up and continued asking endless questions.

"No, I'm fine. I just wanted to rest" I replied.

"Ok... would you like to have some pills or-"

"No it's alright, I feel much better now, I'll be heading back to class" I cut her off when the questions began to grow annoying and left.

"Hey you!" I turned around a saw four girls standing in the hallway.

Is it just me or are people beginning to be more social with me instead of whispering to each other? For some reason I feel uneasy with the way they're looking at me.

"What is your relationship with Kira-kun?" One of the girls to the right asked. If I remembered correctly her name would be Miyu. I recognize her from my class, her seat is right in front of mine.

"Takuto and I are good friends? Why do you ask"

"'Takuto'? Don't you have any manners? Addressing Kira-kun like that! You sure have guts" The girl; Aya to the left shouted. She is also a classmate, friend with Miyu.

"But he told me-" Without letting me finish explaining they continued.

"Don't play dumb with us! This morning you were overly familiar with him!" the middle girl with purple-red hair to the right cut me off.

Suddenly the image of earlier came to my mind. I couldn't help but to blush, when I recalled him holding me close to his chest. "That... He-" yet again my sentence was interrupted.

"Stay away from him Kouyama Mitsuki or else" the other middle girl with silver hair threatened.

I was confused yet I felt a bit unusual. I felt mad and angry which was very unlike me, but I couldn't help feel this way. It was as if something within me snapped. I wanted to do something completely different from what I've done so far. Not just keep quiet and ignore them, letting people say whatever they want.

"Or else what? Kill me? Let's make things clear, I choose who I want to be with and it's my decision whether I want to be around him or not" I stood up for myself, neither raising my voice or low, just kept it cool.

As soon as the words left my mouth I realized my knew sudden attitude that not only surprised the girls in front of me but also myself.

The girls twitched at what I said, knowing perfectly well the consequence of hurting me. The silver haired gave this annoyed and frustrated look which didn't take long before it turned into a smile "We warned you Kouyama-san, we won't give you a second chance next time" she warned once again before they turned around to leave.

They didn't have to tell me something I'm fully aware of. I should keep my distance from my friends. Not because I was threatened, I don't want the people that I care for to get involved in this. This is my problem to handle.

Meanwhile...

"Mou! Mitsuki is taking way too long!" Meroko whined.

"She's just fine, Mi-ki is probably taking a nap. Just leave her be, Me-chan." Izumi tried to convince her.

"But why?"

"Just because." He kept the explanation short...as always.

"That's not an answer!" she yelled with a fist in the air.

"What's not an answer?" Takuto who just entered their 'secret' meeting room.

"Izumi's replies!" Meroko explained not taking her eyes off the smirking yellow haired boy.

"Cut it out already! It's annoying having to hear you two start the third worlds war!" Takuto joined the conversation.

"He's right, you two need to be more honest with your feelings?" a voice said out of nowhere.

"Will you just shut u- Ah, hello Mitsuki"

Takuto shook his head slowly and muttered out "Not even a miracle can bring those two together"

"I rather have fights than having this uncute girl as my girlfriend" Izumi smirked playfully.

"WHO'S an uncute girl?!"

"Oh I'm sorry, it's supposed to be uncute tomboy"

"You're in one big mess now" Takuto pointed out the obvious scene with a smile.

Mitsuki's pov

The school day eventually passed and I could finally go home and unpack my things. I never had time these past three days to even touch the boxes spread everywhere in my apartment.

I said goodbye to my friends and left. Not so many people from my school lives at this direction so I won't have company, though Meroko offered one but I refused. I don't want to be in the way or relay on them all the time. I'm more than grateful to have such friends and that's enough for me.

About 15 minutes of walking has passed and I have heard foot steps ever since I left school. Maybe I'm imagining things...it's probably some random person walking by. But somehow I keep having this feeling that's not it. Its been fallowing every splited path I took. Maybe I'm being stalked. I tried to let the thought slip away but the possibilities of being stalked was high in this case. My fears increased at the thought running through my mind. Without thinking I turned around and shouted "Stop following me!"

As soon as the words left my mouth my cheeks heated up "Takuto!"

"Sorry, Mitsuki. My house is this way" Takuto explained himself.

"Oh no, I'm the one who's suppose to say sorry"

"No need to, I'm the one who didn't say anything" he smiled.

Soon we began to walk again, not saying a word as if Takuto never was here. It was sunny but a cold day of September so the leafs green color already changed into brown, red and yellow. Also one of the most refreshing and colorful seasons. I took a glance at Takuto, he seemed to be in deep thoughts. I wonder if it's about this morning. I felt myself frown when i eyed his now treated wound.

"How's your... injury?"

"Hm? Oh, it's fine"

"Why did you suddenly drag me out of the class room earlier?" I asked.

Again the silence took over. Stupid Mitsuki! I said something I shouln't have, know his in a gloomy mode again! Eventually we were standing in front of my apartment.

"Thanks for the company" He didn't reply but followed me to the elevator.

"Why are you still following me?" I asked.

"Well, I actually live here"

"Y-You what? Why didn't you say something sooner?"

"You never asked" he replied a playful smirk.

I rolled my eyes as we steeped in I pushed the button to the 7th floor.

"Which floor do you live in?" I asked him curiously.

Takuto's smile widened at the question "The same" he answered.

"Quit joking around and just tell me already" But he only kept smiling.

I let out a humph with my arms crossed acting like a child who didn't accept no as a reply. It felt like an eternity before the elevator once again opened its metallic door

"I'm always serious" he said before I steped out.

'How come I've never seen him then?' I pushed the thoughts aside as I made my way to the door with the numbers 701 written and unlocked it. I saw Takuto head towards the door next to mine; 702.

"Told ya I was living here" he smiled before entering the apartment leaving me quite shocked.

Now that I think about it, the first day when Takuto showed me around I turned down his offer to walk me home and last night I slept over at Meroko's place. No wonder I've never seen him here.

Hoped you enjoyed it. btw in this chapter I only own Miyu, Aya and the silver haired girl. the purple-red haired is a secret for now :)
