Chapter 8

Confrontation

Sekai and her friends were at Pure Burger enjoying their time together. She looked at Setsuna with a smile on her face trying to mask the truth. She was hurting on the inside for not even telling her, but she ignored that feeling when she realized she did the same thing.

She sighed softly so none would hear her, and thought of Makoto. The thought led straightly towards the one night stand she had with him and she blushed heavily. Setsuna noticed her face redden and thought at what could have done that.

"So Sekai, who are you taking around the school festival in a week?" Hikari asked.

The question hadn't even caught her off guard and she sat there daydreaming in her fantasy.

"Sekai?" Nanami asked snapping her back to the present.

"Yeah, what is it?" Sekai replied quickly.

"Hikari asked if you had anyone to go around the school festival with." Setsuna stated.

"Well… I suppose not…" Sekai stated slowly.

"Oooh, are you thinking of someone?" Hikari asked with intense curiosity.

"Of course not, what are you implying?!" Sekai asked defensively.

"Sekai you're no fun!" Hikari said with a disappointed look.

"So, Setsuna, I assume you don't have anyone either." Nanami said.

"Actually I do." Setsuna said taking a sip of a smoothie she had.

"What?!" Everyone asked with shock in their voice.

"That's a secret." Setsuna said winking.

"Setsuna don't be boring like Sekai." Hikari said with excitement in her voice.

Setsuna smiled at the thought of Makoto walking around with her during the school festival. She blushed lightly at the thought of the folk dance.

The day continued on and Sekai and Setsuna were walking home together. Sekai's face was cold and showed no emotion of happiness. Setsuna glanced up and noticed she was unhappy.

"Sekai, what's wrong?" Setsuna asked.

"It's nothing…" Sekai said looking away.

Setsuna walked in front of her and stopped. She looked into Sekai's eyes but noticed she wasn't happy.

"Sekai, tell me what's wrong."

Sekai looked down at Setsuna and her eyes started tearing up. She closed them quickly then opened them, and like a floodgate tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Sekai.. are you okay?" Setsuna asked taking a step towards her and reaching her hand out to try and comfort her.

Sekai smacked her hand away and looked at her with flared eyes.

"You." Sekai stated coldly.

"What?" Setsuna asked rubbing her sore hand.

"I know who you're walking around the festival with… it's Makoto isn't it? I saw you together at the one restaurant down town. How long were you planning to keep this secret? You know how I feel about Makoto and you didn't even tell me! Why would you do this to me?" Sekai blurted out.

Setsuna's eyes widened and she felt bad for not have said anything. She never thought about anyone except Makoto when it came to this subject.

"But I'm going to hurt you, since you hurt me. A few days ago do you remember when I slapped you in school? Makoto went to my house and slept with me! If it hadn't been for you I would've been the happiest woman in the world!" Sekai screamed.

Setsuna's eyes started to build up tears. She had wondered why Makoto has been avoidant lately, and now she knew the answer. The tears that had built up started streaming down her cheeks. She turned and ran away. She couldn't believe what she heard so she ran away. She couldn't hide from the feelings so she kept running. When she was home she ran up the stairs towards her room ignoring everything else and laid on her bed sobbing into her pillow.

Author speaking, I have no idea in hell where the Spanish version of this is, but if you want it ask my colleague. And some of you may not be pleased with what is happening, but if you think about it, its got to happen. This is School Days where a boys life is either ruined by love or better.
