Well, it's later than I wanted it to be but I got it up! Hope you enjoy. I think it gets a little more dramatic... .
Kirihara-kun has been acting weird all day. He has been acting extremely nervous around me, and anytime I ask him what's wrong all he ever does is just act like I never even asked a question. There has been one thing I've noticed today, though. Not about Kirihara-kun, but about Kasumi-chan. She has been acting more different towards me than usual, and not different in a good way. All throughout the day she's just been mean and nasty to me. Like those fan girls were acting when they thought Kirihara-kun and I were dating. I wonder if these are Kasumi-chans true feelings towards me. If so, I'm glad I now know she was a fake before and that I didn't become her friend. Unfortunately I still have to put up with her in class. It's a good thing we are on our final lesson of the day, English.
"For today's assignment you will be in groups of three. The goal of the assignment is to hold a conversation in English," The teacher was pacing in front of the classroom. I think he is eager to leave as well.
Next to me, Kasumi-chan's hand went up.
"Yes, Kasumi-chan?"
"Sensei," Kasumi-chan began. "Do we get to choose our groups or are you going to be putting us in them?"
"I have already picked your groups for you," At that statement I saw a lot of faces fall throughout the class. "When I call your name please stand up. Kirihara Akaya, Yumiko Nami, and Kasumi Kin. You three shall be group one."
What? Is the teacher really that oblivious? As we sit back down I look over at Kirihara-kun's face to see a look that probably mirrors my own. One of pure shock. Looking to the other side of me I see Kasumi-chan's face, which seems completely unfazed. If anything she seems happy, but to be honest that kind of scares me even more than if she seemed completely emotionless. Kasumi-chan is someone who I absolutely do not want to mess with. And I especially don't want to mess with her now since she has taken it upon herself to be mean to me.
"Alright, you may now all get in your groups and begin working on your assignment."
My whole body is tense as I look at Kirihara-kun and Kasumi-chan to see where they are heading. Kirihara-kun still seems to be overcome with shock as he has not budged an inch since I last looked at him. Kasumi-chan has turned toward me and has begun to move her desk closer. I guess that means they'll be coming to me since I'm in the middle.
"Oy, Kirihara-kun," I poke him to get his attention. He jumped a little and his eyes widened as he looked at me… except he also seemed to be looking past me. Seriously, what is going on in his head? "You need to move closer, we're over here."
Kirihara-kun's eyes went back to his usual arrogant self, but I could tell he was still extremely nervous. "I know that, you didn't need to tell me!"
"Yumiko-chan, do you think Kirihara-kun is stupid or something?"
I jumped and turned around to Kasumi-chan. How'd she get that when all I did was inform a spaced out Kirihara-kun that he had to move? "What? No, Of course not!"
"Then why'd you feel the need to inform him that we are over here? I mean, it's quite obvious," I just stared at Kasumi-chan as she sneered at me.
"English! You're assignment is to speak English," The teacher said as he passed by us. I guess we're going to have to continue this conversation in English… let's just hope we understand what each other is saying.
"Well… eh… What should we talk about?" I looked at Kirihara-kun. He seemed desperate to want to change the subject. That was most definitely fine by me.
"We… could talk about… f-" I started.
"Stupid… We will talk about stupid," Kasumi-chan interrupted.
"Stupid? Why stupid?"
"Because you… are stupid," Kasumi-chan's sneer turned into a smirk. If I remember correctly stupid was kind of the same as… baka. Really? Most people joke around in calling each other baka, but she's being serious!
"Now, now Kasumi-chan," Kirihara-kun waves his hands, trying to defuse what is obviously turning into a situation.
"I am stupid?" It still has not really sunk in that Kasumi-chan called me stupid and meant it.
"You are stupid, yes," Kasumi-chan just stares at me with that cold, hateful stare of hers.
"No, Yumiko-chan, you are not," Kirihara-kun's voice seems frantic. Our other classmates seem to have quieted down. Were they listening to us?
"Kirihara-kun it's… okay? She is stupid… too," I glare back at Kasumi-chan.
"You called Kirihara-kun stupid," Kasumi-chans voice rose a little and the teacher looked over at us.
"I did not," My voice was beginning to rise as well. She is really starting to get to me.
Kasumi-chan stands up and begins to speak in Japanese again. "You did! By pointing out where we were you implied he was stupid!"
I too, stood up and reverted back to Japanese. "He was spacing out so he had no clue what was going on! He needed me to snap him out of whatever was going on in his head!"
"Ladies! Pick a different topic and speak English!"
Kasumi-chan and I completely ignored the teacher.
"But he doesn't need you to do anything for him! In fact," Kasumi-chans smirk began to look highly mischevious. "He doesn't even like you."
"You're lying," I seriously cannot believe she just said that! Of all the rotten things to say… Does she really hate me that much?
"Of course she's lying! I wouldn't be nice to you if I did," Kirihara-kuns face is even more red than before. This has really turned into such an odd situation.
"Don't you dare call me a liar! Kirihara-kun is just trying to spare your feelings!"
My eyes narrowed. She's jealous. Totally jealous, and it's making her blind to the truth. "L.I.A.R."
Kasumi-chan's eyes narrowed as well, but she simultaneously raised her fist. The things jealousy make you do…
I dick just as her fist begins moving towards me. Gasps are heard from the rest of the class and for some reason the teacher just stands there. He's probably shocked that such misbehavior is occurring in his classroom.
After what seems like forever, which is really just less than a second, more gasps escape the class. I look up to see Kirihara-kun holding his cheek and a bewildered Kasumi-chan.
"I just hit Kirihara-kun," Her eyes became watery.
"Kasumi-cahn," Finally the teacher spoke up! I mean, it's not like this could've been really bad or something. "Go to the principles office. Yumiko-chan and Kirihara-kun, you too."
"Yes sensei," Kirihara-kun says. He helps me to my feet and we start heading out the door. Kasumi-chan follows without a word. I will be so happy when this day is over…
If you would be so kind as to review now? Please? :D
