Do enjoy... There's a note for you below, Karis... hehe... Soryy, haha...
I waited anxiously for time to pass as I entered my classroom. I can't believe that I just did that; I mean I was finally going to end things today! When I came into my classroom, I saw no sign of her. Just before the bell rang, I saw him. He was helping her with her books. I was the one who should be doing that, not him! I wanted to snatch those books away from him and just tell Michiru how I feel about her; but I can't, now before I settle the things with Yuki… My eyes burnt with fury as I saw him kissing her cheeks, whispering words into her ears which made her giggle. I admit, I was jealous, that was quite obvious. If it weren't for sensei who entered the class, I would have already tossed him out the window with my own two hands. Dammit! I was the one who met her first; I was the one who should be with her like that, not him! I seated myself onto the chair, eyes never leaving the both of them.
"Kou-san, Kaiou-san, please get back to your seats, you'll have plenty of time for that after school."Tamaki sensei said as he shoved them off.
"Tamaki-sensei, it's not what you think!" Michiru said as the both of them blushed.
"Iie, I don't care, get back to your seats, you're wasting our time here." That was the all-cool-Tamaki sensei. He doesn't listen to any excuses besides mine. I smirked. It's great to know that I have an uncle like him.
"Ohayo gozaimasu, Tennou-san!" He greeted me in his usual cheerful attitude. I flinched a little. Even their assigned seats were right before me.
"Ohayo, Seiya-kun." I replied coldly. I was grinning inside. I'm going to take her from him! I came back to my senses as I felt a warm and soft hand on my forehead.
"Ruka, daijoubuka?" She creased her eyebrows as she eyed me with worry. I gently pushed her hand away, forcing a smile onto my face.
"Ah, Daijoubu…" I replied her. She reluctantly turned back to the front. I sighed a relief. I wonder what I'll do if she continued looking at me with those eyes of hers.
"What's wrong with him today? He sounds colder than usual…" I clearly heard Seiya's voice though he was whispering to Michiru.
"Shiranai…" My roommate looked at me in the corner of her eyes. I pretended to be listening to sensei, trying to avoid eye contact with her. "But I hope he's alright…" Why? Why does she show so much concern for me even when she's with her boyfriend?
It was a period before our lunch break; before I finally tell Yuki the truth… Fortunately, it was art class. Not that I liked art but this is the only period I get to see her without Seiya by her side; the only time I get to sit right beside her. Our art teacher had assigned her to sit beside me is because… Well, my art isn't the best and hers is. I took out my art paper, placing everything in order. Today, our title is to draw the person we adore. I wanted so much to draw her, but I'll be speechless if she sees it.
"How do I even start?" I merely whispered to myself.
"Who do you intend to draw?" She asked. Of course I want to draw you! I like you, Michi, don't you know that?! I sighed. How could I possibly just blurt that out now?
"Yuki-chan." I lied. I could see her frown. Was she disappointed or anything?
"Well, just picture her in you r mind and let your hands guide you." She spoke like a true artist before ignoring me again. Was it because I chose Yuki and not you, Michi? I peeked to the side only to see something shocking. She's drawing me! She adores me!!
"Is that me?" I mocked and she blushed heavily. I chuckled. "So you do adore me, eh?"
"I-Iie!" She turned away, putting down her brush. "That's one of the old musicians." She muttered. "A famous one too! It's just that he looked similar to you!" I smiled to myself.
"Hey, can you meet me under the Sakura tree after school?" I started to go back to my plan. "I-I have something important to tell you. You know, if you aren't meeting with Seiya." Speaking of his name just boils my blood.
"I'll try…" She said softly. I really hope she will.
RIING!!
"Well, there goes the bell. I'll be going now…" I started to pack my things, clumsily. I almost fell onto my own paint. "Oops, sorry…" I flashed her a nervous smile.
"Careful!" Michiru helped me up. "I'll be there waiting for you, Ruka…" My eyes widen. Did I just hear right? Michiru said she will be there! Without that asshole Seiya!!
"Arigatou, Michiru! You don't know how much it means to me!" I ran out with my hand full of my art equipments. You'll find out today, Michiru… I'm not going to back away like I did those years…
I ran towards the bushes behind the school compound. This was my secret hiding place and only Yuki knew about it. I trust her enough to tell her that. She had always been there for me, like Michiru did. But I just can't return her feelings. I know we're dating but it's because I know I'll never have Michiru to myself. All those will be left behind after today; I'm moving forward, whether Michiru return my feelings or not… There's no point having a relationship if only one loves the other. Yuki's too good for me, I'm not worth it. I took in a deep breath as I cleared those bushes away, revealing a place full of greeneries. It was like heaven. Roses were growing everywhere, on the tree; in the blushes; everywhere. This is my old hiding place to get away from all my problems; my burden. I would just lay here on the ground, looking up into the sky, letting the wind take me anywhere it wants. I saw something else there; Yuki. She was sniffling. I'm so sorry, Yuki… I walked forward.
"H-Haruka!" She tried to sound excited as she wiped her tears away.
"You're crying…" I said, not realizing I was frowning myself. "I'm not worth your tears, Yuki…" I turned away, not having the guts to look at her.
"You're still in love with her, right?" I shut my eyes tightly.
"I-I'm sorry…" That was all I could say now. She must have figured out everything. I used to think about Michiru and only Michiru during our dates; I looked at her and only her when we were together; I did everything for her and only her! "I'm truly sorry…" I shouldn't have started dating you in the first place…
"Then I wish the both of you good luck." She was trying hard to control her tears. She had always been the strong one. Never had I seen her cry so much.
"Thank you…" I mumbled. "I'm sorry, Yuki-chan…"
"Enough of apologizing, Haruka…" She walked towards me and lifted my face with both her hands. She kissed me on the lips. "This is the last kiss you'll get from me, Haruka…" She smiled as I was dumbfounded. "I'll always keep the memories you gave me… Always, in my heart…" I sighed. "Go now, before I cry again." I took a step back. Was I taking the wrong path in this? "Go!" I ran away. I shut my eyes tightly when I heard her sobbing, the sound of her falling to the ground. I'm sorry…
I'm sorry too, just like Haruks-chan here... Oh, i'm apologizing to you, Karis... I couldn't meet your expectation of 2k... Well, just 700 words less, hope you won't mind. But i did update after all, didn't I? Hehe... Anyways, the next chappie would be the last chappie, hope you guys enjoyed and oh, please review...I
