/WORDS/ – Shizuru's thoughts.
So Close
Chapter II –False Hope
"Time slows down when you're anticipating for something."
It is exactly what's been happening to Shizuru. It's like every time she looks at the clock, just a few minutes would have passed by. She's so looking forward for her best friend/ ultimate crush's gift. Also, she just can't wait to see what Natsuki will be wearing tonight.
She already looks wonderful in her everyday clothes, what more if I'll get to see her in a gown? I must prepare myself for this. Fufu.. I have to stop myself from drooling. Hmmm… Knowing Natsuki, she'll have her style in any outfit she chooses. It wouldn't also be bad to see her in a tux. She could be my date for tonight and we'll be dancing in circles, waltzing through the dance floor just like in fairy tales. Natsuki, my prince charming. It just sounds so right.
11:00 pm
A lot of drunken businessmen were already goofing around other guests. Everyone is enjoying the party in the Fujino Mansion except for the birthday girl herself.
Where is she? Didn't I mention that the party would be starting at 8? No, I know I cleared that to her before she left. Could it be that she was only forced to say yes? But she promised she'd come! Did she? I don't remember exactly. I was so happy when she said yes that I didn't bother to pay attention very well… Shizuru, calm yourself! Be a good best friend and understand her. Yes, that's right. There must be a lot of clients today in the garage. She'll come, stop worrying yourself girl.
"Hey Bubuzuke! Why are you drowning there in the corner? It's your party you know." Shizuru smiled a bit. She was amused with how her friend still mixes the words in her sentences.
"It's frowning Ruka-chan" corrected Yukino.
"Yukino-san, you should teach your girl proper grammar when you're not teaching her "other stuff" when you're alone. If you know what I mean." said Reito with a grin.
The couple just blushed at the comment then finally Haruka spoke.
"Stop saying such things toothpaste model! Why don't you just get yourself a girlfriend… err... or a boyfriend or whatever you fancy and stop bothering Yuki-chan!"
"Ruka-chan, it's alright. No need to get worked up"
"Alright, if you say so"
Despite how cold and strong the school thinks of Haruka, Yukino still manages to bring out the heart in her. They are so perfect for each other. I wonder if Natsuki and I would be a good couple like them… or a couple at all! :(
2:00 am
The party ended with no sign of Natsuki. Poor Shizuru was crying her eyes out in bed. She wants to be mad but she just can't. She doesn't know how she'll face Natsuki when she sees her. No matter how understanding she forces herself to be, the poor brunette fell asleep with a thought in her mind.
I have no right to be mad, we're not together and she didn't really promised she'd come. She's not giving me false hope. It's only me who's hoping.
