It's been freakin long months since I've updated! Here's the most awaited chapter 16!
Oh Tachikawa!
Chapter 16: Drawn To You
It had been a week since Yamato and Mimi that they've been avoiding each other's shadows.
Every winter night, Mimi calls at Tai's house, burning the phone and increasing the bills, with no time to spend the night on the phone with Sora.
Break-
"Tai, you shouldn't be doing this, I mean…I'm now not interested being friends with Yamato again." Mimi said. There was this feeling inside her…the feeling…to trust a guy. Tai had been always promising.
"Mimi, you're very confusing, what do you want now?" Tai asked with a pissed off look, he didn't want to react like that on front of her, but…she was really getting in his nerves.
Ever since she and Matt were like playing, 'I-don't-know-you' game, Mimi had been an extra to him and Sora. Kinda harsh thought for Tai, was it?
Everyday, Mimi would favor him to take her home, burn the telephone with the same phone number…and Sora was getting jealous, she even asked him if their still best friends.
Now why did he thought that?!
Mimi…cool down Tai...as soon as she and Matt are cool friends again, I'm out of Mimi's way, ever!
Mimi giggled.
"Tai, I want you!" she said as she wrapped her arms around him. Tai looked at her doubtfully.
"Have you forgotten what I said?" Tai asked. Mimi arched a brow.
"Forgotten what?" she asked.
"You swore to me that the feeling for me's supposed to stay as a crush. Not love." He said, removing her arms gently.
"Tai…" she started. Tai glared at her.
"Mimi, don't you get the point?! I have another person in my heart, I know deep inside of you, you still love him, even how many times you deny it!!!" he said angrily.
He was mentally shocked on what he said.
Tai you idiot! BAKA!!!
"Tai! Don't you get it?! You're the only guy I have opened up to; it's not easy for me to trust a guy, Tai! You're so lucky a girl like me sharing and keeping secrets with you! I can't even be comfortable with Yamato as I am right now." She confessed.
"Mimi, I'm very sorry, but it's not only me who noticed it, Sora also! You've been interrupting us 24/7, you've been bugging me since you and Yamato started to play, 'I hate you!' game! Please stop!" Tai blurted out, causing others' attentions to them.
He left the table and started to stress out.
She looked at her meal angrily, as tears splashed on the plate.
Mimi's POV-
I glared at my plate, took out my diary and pen and started to jot down my thoughts. Since… I have no friends anymore to confess what I am feeling right now…it will be always and forever, Mimi and her diary, period.
Dear Diary,
It had been a week since Yamato and I interacted.
Aw who cares? Tai. When Yamato and I started it,
Tai replaced his space. I started to go out with him and Sora, and it had been the best. Then, as time flies by, I can't believe it I'm starting to fall for Tai, but I promised him that I will not fall for him, so, it's kinda my fault too.
I know it's wrong, but he's so sincere, kind to me. He may not be as cute as Yamato, but he has a cute personality.
I know Sora's craving for him, and I also know Tai loves Sora very much, but it seems I don't care about it. Hell, I'm crying right now.
Right when I confessed my feelings for him, he started to grow angry at me.
It was my fault anyway, I did promise him.
Now, I don't know where to lean on, Sora and Tai's angry at me, Yamato's avoiding me, who can look down at me?
I never wanted to be like this.
I also think Tai should appreciate the people who fancies him, doesn't he feel great that I, Mimi Tachikawa likes him?! I can't believe him! If Yamato knew I like him, he'll be happy about it!!! Tai doesn't have a heart!!!
And sometimes, I can't control myself, have I fallen too much???
I'm rejected. Tai had been the only guy I shared my secrets to, share my lunch with…why can't he appreciate it?!
Doesn't he have a heart?
Doesn't he feel happy that I like him? Doesn't he feel sad that I am sad? All of this angst can stop me from studying and drop out from school!!!
Ok…I confess already! It's ALWAYS my fault, PERFECT Sora gets the pie while I'll only have a crumb, I felt like I wasn't meant to EXIST!
-A Very Depressed Mimi.
I slammed my notebook's cover and put it back in my bag. Why can't he appreciate it? He likes Sora….and I can't change it. "But why Sora?" I asked myself, as I feel liquid started to drop from my eyes. They're called tears.
I started to walk slowly to the classroom. Ah fuck!!! He's my seatmate!!! Everything will be worst.
Once I saw Mr. Yin…
"Please sensei, I really need it." I pleaded.
"Fine, you tell Ms. Machiko. You don't mind being at the backseat, right?" Mr. Yin asked. I nodded, as long as I am far away from the three of them.
I don't care if they team up on me, all I care now is, me.
Since no ever cared about me anyway. I still have myself.
(Exit Mimi's POV, enter omniscient POV.)
So, as English started, they were all divided into groups, Mimi has to deal with it that Yamato is one of her group.
She tried to avoid him at all ways.
"So Maui, you will be the reporter." Mimi said, making a chart.
"Sure." Maui said.
"Hey Mimi, can I help you?" Yamato finally broke their ignoring games.
He was nervous a little, but regained his cool. Her heart skipped.
"S-Sure." She stammered, giving him a black marker.
I don't get it…after all I've been avoiding him; he's not holding the grudge against me…I feel really relieved. Few tears dropped from her eyes and made wet spots at the chart.Yamato looked at her surprisingly.
And Tai…why does he have to be angry at me? I ain't done anything bad! Why can't he also appreciate that I like him? He looked up at her. "Hey Mimi, are you okay?" Yamato asked.
She gave a slight nod.
"Okay, everyone get back to your seats and the reporting will start." Mr. Yin announced.
Tai tried to avoid Mimi's drama, which he thought they were crocodile tears.
She was still sobbing; all of their attention caught her.
"Mimi, is there something wrong?" Sora asked concernedly. Mimi cried more.
"Please Sora! Leave me alone!" she blurted out, and covered her mouth.
Sora sighed; she looked pitifully at her broking down in tears, as she went back to her seat, giving Tai a cold stare. She knew what happened.
"I'm sorry." Mimi apologized and started to cry more.
Tai had been the first one to report about their lesson, he had been trying to avoid Mimi's gaze at him at all cause.
Yamato glanced at her again.
She's looking at Tai again…I wonder what happened…I have the feeling…that the reason is Tai.
After Tai finished reporting, got back in his seat, Yamato glared at him.
"Mimi's crush is such a heartless." He said coldly, trying to make Tai hear him.
Tai glanced at Mimi's way.
"Yamato! Stop it! Don't even make it worst." Aya said, comforting her.
"Ms. Tachikawa, is there something wrong?" Mr. Yin asked.
"Yamato." Aya answered or accused. "What now?!" Yamato was taken aback.
"No!!! It's not Yamato, okay? It's not his fault!!!" she defended, wiping her tears away.
"Ms. Tachikawa and Mr. Ishida, please, I'm giving you two a break to have a private conversation at the corner." Mr. Yin said, taking Yamato's and Mimi's hand.
He led them to the farthest corner of the room.
"Class, don't mind them, it's none of your bussiness, okay?" Mr. Yin said, getting their attention.
He sighed as he looked at their professor, teaching their new lession.
He turned to the woman who was shedding tears.
"So Mimi, tell me, is there something wrong?" he asked. Her back was facing him.
"I don't know why sensei called you, I was expecting Tai…but it doesn't matter." She managed to say, turning to him.
"So do I." He said.
Silence fell to the two of them.
"Hey, if Tai rejected you, let me be the one to kill him." He kidded with a smile. Mimi giggled as she wiped her tears.
"Now, isn't that better? No more tears?" he said sweetly. She looked away from him and blushed.
"Don't expect Tai to like you, he likes Sora. But if you want him badly, I'm going to kill him for real, to knock some sense off." He said with a smile.
She giggled again. Was it all just her, or…her pain really got washed away?
Wow, that was crap. XD
Anyway, here's my notes for:
Princesstphanie, luvisgood: what ending do u prefer? A sad or a happy one? Oh and don't worry, ending isn't very near, no, really.
Also, who do u think Mimi should be for? Tai? Matt? Michael?
