Hey everyone, so I know I told you this was up for adoption but luckily my family's situation has suddenly improved enough for me to get back to writing. I'm so sorry-I really can't tell you how sorry-for putting it on hiatus for so long and I hope that you enjoy the story as much as you did before. Thank you all for your understanding of my personal problems.
Now that I'm thoroughly depressed, it's story time! Yaaaay!
Misaki stared blankly into the darkness of her room, curled almost protectively around her stomach and the heat pad stuck to her clothes. Why did things go so wrong?
So then, Misaki thought. What exactly and precisely happened? I got out of the car and ripped my dress, I got covered in beer, and not only was Usui a pervert again, he also-
Her train of thought was interrupted by a buzzing, blinking, bright object on her nightstand. Groaning, Misaki grabbed it.
"Hello?"
"Misaki? It's Sakura, are you alright? I ran into Usui on the street and he had a tampon and a pad and he looked really confused!"
"Well, basically, my dress is ruined and Aoi is going to be upset about it, Usui was a pervert, and I dropped my bag and he saw all my...you know, my stuff."
Sakura was silent for a very long time, and when she finally spoke, it was no more than ten words. "It's not his fault. Go text him. See you tomorrow."
"Sakura? Hey, Sakura?! Ugh, I can't believe she hung up on me!" Misaki stared down at her phone. I guess I should text him...
Kaichou-Kaichou: Usui? You up?
Pervert-Baka-Alien: Misaki! What's going on? Sakura wouldn't say anything to me except that you were in serious pain! Are you alright? I was going to come over but she said not to.
Kaichou-Kaichou: Uh...yeah...I'm not going to die or anything...
Pervert-Baka-Alien: Then tell me what's going on pls
Kaichou-Kaichou: I'm on my period...
Pervert-Baka-Alien: Is a period that thing girls have sometimes? I skipped health class a lot.
Kaichou-Kaichou: Yes, it is! Can you not make such a big deal out of it?
Pervert-Baka-Alien: I didn't...sheesh...
Kaichou-Kaichou: Sorry, didn't mean it.
Pervert-Baka-Alien: I know. I'm sorry about tonight and how bad it was for you.
Kaichou-Kaichou: No, it's my fault, I'm sorry for overreacting.
Pervert-Baka-Alien: From now own tell me when you're on your period, ok?
Kaichou-Kaichou: Pervert alien! Baka Usui!
Pervert-Baka-Alien: Love you too Misaki.
Kaichou-Kaichou:...Fine. I'm going to bed now. Goodnight.
Pervert-Baka-Alien: Goodnight! Feel better! Also tell me when you're off it, ok?
Kaichou-Kaichou: O-obviously! Stop talking about it!
Misaki flipped shut her phone and fell asleep with a smile on her face.
The next day
The school's aura was, once more, dark and afraid. Yes, Misaki was on another rampage. She stormed through the halls, barking out orders to terrified students without even batting an eye.
"Straighten that tie! Tuck in your shirt! Yes, you have to go to the bathroom to do it! Pick up your trash! Don't just leave your things on the floor! Tighten your ribbon! I don't want to have to do it for yo-mmf!"
Usui removed his hand from her mouth and grinned at her. "Good morning. You shouldn't be so angry at this hour." He made no mention of their last conversation. Misaki didn't question it, either, for two reasons.
One, she was thoroughly embarrassed by her having to explain periods to her boyfriend. Of COURSE she would fall for the one male in the school who had voluntarily skipped health class (she had looked at the school records that morning just to see).
Two, Usui had pulled her into a storage closet, a fact that she had missed in her initial surprise.
Let's describe this closet as "cramped," shall we? Very cramped, to be specific. Misaki found herself no more than an inch from Usui's chest.
"B-baka! Pervert! Alien! Hentai baka! Hentai alien!"
Usui laughed, a shimmering joyful sound. "You're just repeating yourself."
"Shut up!" Misaki attempted to cover up her blush by stepping backwards.
They say lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place.
They were very wrong.
The way that Misaki had pictured herself stepping back was a simple, fluid, graceful movement that distracted Usui from two things: that she was blushing and that she was putting some distance between them, as she knew how physical he liked to be. (Author's note: no, I don't mean in a sexual way. Please don't think of it that way.)
The way that Misaki actually executed her move was by stepping back, slipping in a puddle of dirty mop water, slipping, twisting in an attempt to regain her balance, hitting her head on a shelf, grabbing at anything she could reach, and falling despite all her best efforts not to, legs splayed like a baby deer.
"Ow..." Misaki opened her eyes and realized that her situation had drastically deteriorated. It seemed that as she had slipped, she had grabbed Usui's shirt and pulled him down with her. He lay stretched across her. Quickly she shoved him away.
"Are you alright, Misak-oh..." Misaki followed Usui's line of sight and realized that for the second time in as many days, she had had a rather misfortunate wardrobe malfunction.
Meaning, he could see her panties. Again.
"Hentai! Get away!"
"There's not enough room to do that, you know. There's not even enough room for me to stand up without hitting my head." Usui was being strangely considerate, given the circumstances. He wasn't even looking.
Not that Misaki was complaining or anything.
She smoothed down her skirt and grabbed onto his arms. "Here. We'll both stand up at the same time. Then you won't have to avoid me and hurt yourself."
"Now that's what I call Kaichou-worthy problem solving." In the distance, the bell rang.
"We'll be late. Hurry up, Usui."
"Coming, coming." As they walked off to class, Misaki smiled to herself. Usui was a perverted, alien baka, but he was her perverted, alien baka, and she couldn't think of anyone else.
Well everyone, that's the end of the second to last chapter. The next one is actually more of a double epilogue, when I think about it.
I hope I'm not too rusty from being away for so long, and I'm glad to be back!
As always, please review, favorite, or follow!
