You Are
Oh my…it has been over eight months since I last updated. I guess you can yell at me for being super lazy. Today, I feel inspired! Now, new chapter! Go!
Disclaimer: I own Aaya as my own OC and not the rest of the characters and blah…blah…blah…
Class went on, although Shiki could not concentrate for the rest of the class. His emotions…his mind…his heart…they were just all confused. The bell rang but before everyone left the teacher told everyone to stay for a bit for a recent announcement.
"Students…the Headmaster would like to announce a sudden dance that he has planned for today! He wants it to be formal…and his reason for this is…uhm…he is in a mood for one and he can do whatever he wants because he's the Headmaster?" The teacher started laughing as he read off the announcement paper he was given.
"That guy is something else…oh yeah. Class is dismissed." The teacher continued to laugh as he walked back to his desk.
Shiki walked out the classroom doors and turned the corner to only have an arm grasp onto his.
"Rima…" He stared down at the still crying girl that was latched onto his arm.
"Shiki…I'm sorry I caused a scene in the class…it's just that I…" Rima started crying more intensely.
"It's okay Rima…stop crying. You're causing an even worse scene…" Apparently Shiki wasn't the best comforter in the world.
"Alright…but…I need to know. Right here, right now…" Rima just couldn't ask it. She was just too afraid of the answer.
"What are your feelings towards Aaya Mitaki?" She finally got out.
"What!? What in the world are you talking about?" He asked flustered.
"The way you act around her….the way you look at her…you act so different in front of her than in front of me. Do you like her as more than roommates? Do you like me…as more than just a friend?" She could almost pass out from the tension and anxiety between them.
"You're acting like you are my girlfriend again! Besides, I…I don't know…" Shiki couldn't say it.
"Don't lie to me, Shiki! Of course you know! Just tell me. I can handle it…"
"If I say it…you won't like my answer…" Shiki admitted.
Rima ran down the hallway as she cried as if her heart broke into a dozen of shattered pieces. She looked around to see many teachers roaming the hallways so she entered a bathroom to pull herself together.
'Why does he like her…and…why not me? What is so wrong with me that he just falls for the new girl? Am I that unattractive to him?' Rima questioned as she stared at her reflection in the bathroom mirror. Her tears started to form as she reminisced about all the trouble she went through to get Shiki to like her…to fall in love with her. Her crying was interrupted by a door opening behind her.
"SHIKI? Oh….it's just you…the Headmaster's daughter…" Rima said emotionless.
"Oh…Rima…I didn't know anyone was in here. Listen…I heard that…" Yuki started to wander off again.
"You heard what?" Rima asked.
"About your whole classroom scene thing. I feel your pain…she kissed Zero. Right in front of me too! Do you hate Aaya Mitaki as much as I do?" Yuki asked smirking.
"I don't hate her…I despise her…I loathe her…I detest her…I abhor her…" Rima started going down the list.
"Okay, okay! Me too! I was wondering…you know the big dance today?" Yuki asked.
"No…I must have missed the announcement. But, what about it?" Rima raised an eyebrow.
"I have a plan to get her back…for all the things she has done to both of us." Yuki smirked evilly.
Aaya walked back to her dorms and was getting ready to sleep. Shiki walked in only to find a drowsy Aaya almost already half asleep.
"Aaya! You didn't hear the announcement about the dance?" Shiki asked.
"Yeah…I heard it. What about it? I don't want to go." Aaya said as she started to go underneath her covers.
"Why not? It will be fun, Aaya! Trust me…"
"It's not fun if everyone hates me there." Aaya stated plainly as she turned her back towards him and pulled the covers over her head.
"That's not true! Everyone doesn't hate you…I don't hate you…at all…" Shiki started going off. Aaya turned around and looked at him with a questioning face.
"Listen…you don't have to stay…but can you at least show up for one dance? One dance with me…?" Shiki asked quietly. Aaya just continued to stare at him.
"You don't have to get dressed so formal…I don't care what you look like…you look beautiful in anything you wear…" Shiki started to blush as he couldn't believe he said that last sentence out loud.
"Your blushing is making me blush…besides your flattery-"Aaya got interrupted by Shiki.
"Is it working?" He asked with a smile. The moon shone through the window and onto his eyes. His eyes were so intoxicating she felt almost hypnotized.
"Yes…I'll see you at the dance, Shiki." Aaya said as she laughed and turned back around. Shiki thanked the heavens that she did not stomp on his heart when he practically laid it out on the floor for her to accept. Shiki started to get dressed for the dance.
"I'll see you later, Shiki. Good night."
"Oh, it will be a very good night now." Shiki said as he started smirk about all the upcoming events.
Mmmmmm…you smell that? Fresh baked updates. I might write another one today. I had to edit this like 20 times. I'm getting ahead of myself in events. I think I'm accidentally letting Aaya and Shiki have more moments than Aaya and Zero when it's supposed to be equal D;. Ah well, R&R. Mucho amor.
