Ch. 9
When I'm with him, I feel somewhat happy? No, that's not it. Nastume Hyuuga. What the hell are you doing to me?
We kissed. Big deal. You've only known me for atleast a month now and I've only known you for a month. "Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid!" I said out loud. I don't really care about his hair which he leaves messy, or those enchanting red eyes I never seem to stop staring in to. The way his voice is like velvet with every word he speaks. "What the fuck?" I yelled out loud again.
"Shh! If you're gonna stay in here then shut it! I'm trying to get some work done." the librarian, Goro, said. I quickly ducked behind the book I was reading. It was fifth period and I was hiding in the library. The 'charity' seemed to have went well, Luna was calling for me over the announcements. Of course I didn't go, why give her the unnecessary pleasure of humiliating me? That stupid girl. Containing the anger I have for her inside of me was really more difficult than I had anticipated. I really did wanted to go to the amphitheater and punch her square in the jaw right there but apparently Hyuuga didn't want that. "It's not worth it." he told me.
I knew better to not resort to violence, but hot damn she pisses me off! "I thought you knew more than I do how annoying she is?" I said to him.
"Yeah, but not everything could be settled with violence."
"It'll be better with a swift punch in the throat." I said.
"You're a violent person."
"You're the one who is 'attracted' to me." I said with the air quotes.
"Don't worry, you'll end up liking me anyway." Insert grin here. "Don't be so sure about that." I told him.
Sitting in the library, pondering about what to do with Luna wasn't easy. I wanted to twist her head off and feed it to the lions but where could I get lions at a time like this? The next idea involved clowns, but I shook it off since I'm not a huge fan of clowns after watching the movie IT.
I groaned. The ideas won't come to me and time is going by so slow. The low-key, droning tick noise from the clock. Rapid little tapping noises from Goro's computer and that funky, used books' smell. The library was boring and noninspirational. My hand was all bandaged up, and it hurt a little now that my anger subsided.
Why would he think I would even like him anyway? Who would wanna like a guy who stresses you out, likes to talk about kisses, who's a stalker, annoys the crap outta you, has an adorkable smile, makes you look like an idiot but implies he never tried to, runs his fingers in your hair whenever he feels like it, is a narcissist when it comes to his steely abs, makes fun of the height difference between the two, stares at you but says he was staring at the thing behind you, those eyes those eyes that hypnotizes me and shines, makes random comments, is difficult to talk to since he twists your words around, those cute dimples, makes these butterflies rage in your stomach, when he says something and you didn't really hear it and asks him to say it but all he says is 'sorry I don't repeat my words' ARGH he pisses me off!
"Why the hell am I even spending time thinking about this fool?" I blurted.
"What did I just say about keeping it quiet Sakura!" Goro yelled from behind his computer screen.
"Goro! You have all the time in the freakin' world! Stop PMSing!" I yelled back. Goro's middle-aged eyes glared at me, while I glared back. It didn't stop til the bell rang and when I threw some hand sanitizer at him. We have that love-hate relationship.
;p
"How's your 'friend'?" Mrs. Tanaka asked, ear to ear grin.
"Fine." I said through my teeth. She was still giving me crap about it. As I set my backpack down, I went right to folding the tennis team's shirts and shorts.
"Before you got married, did your husband ever annoy the crap outta you or is your relationship the mushy gushy kind?" I asked her while putting the uniforms neatly in a box. Mrs. Tanaka arched her eyebrow, "No. We met on a cruise, and he honestly did and still does annoy the crap outta me. But anyways, what was that whole thing over the announcements about? Was she talking about your friend stalking you?"
I groaned, "I don't wanna talk about it."
"So you wanna talk about your friend wanting you to like him."
I felt my jaw drop. "Don't tell me...you guys talk?" I eyed her, dreading her answer. She looked at me and smirked, her eyebrow raised.
"Why!" I stood up quickly.
She shrugged, "Hey, he comes to me and since I'm a teacher, I have to listen."
I palmed my face, "This is ridiculous."
"What's ridiculous is about that kiss!"
My face felt red, he talked to her even about that? "Punk." I muttered. Mrs. Tanaka bellowed with laughter.
"That kid says the funniest things about you. I feel like he's talking to me about a whole other person. I wouldn't have figured you'd be the type who liked to drool over someone."
I narrowed my eyes, "I like to what?"
"He told me everytime you look at him, you drool a little." She became hysterical "You're such a loser!"
;p
'Once I see him, I'm gonna show him how violent I can get.'
"Hey Sakura!" I heard from behind me. I turned around and came face to face with Luna, holding a jar half full of money.
"Here ya go, you little orphan!" she said in a sing song voice, "Don't worry I'm sure tomorrow's charity will go much better! Be sure to feed little Youichi too. Oh! Tomorrow, Natsume-kun agreed to help with your humili—oh I mean benefit!" she grinned.
"Luna, I told you before, there's nothing going on between us so I don't get why you're doing this."
Her grin on that pancaked face stayed the same, "It seems like you just don't get it Sakura."
"I just said that." I told her. She ignored me and continued on, "Ever since day one, you think you're little Miss Cool Girl over here. Thinking since you were in a relationship with Ruka and Natsume shows the slightest interest in you, you were better than everyone else. Face it Sakura, the only reason they can't turn their back on you is cos you're a pitiful person." she spat.
"What about you then?"
"What about perfect me?" she smirked and flipped her hair behind her shoulder.
"You're the kind of girl who goes around strutting in short skirts, and low cut tank tops. Caked faces, excessive jewelery, high heels, and squeaky voices. Doesn't that seem to scream 'Oh look at me look at me!'" I tried imitating her annoying voice. "Trying to act like a little princess in front of them and a spoiled brat when they're gone. If you're gonna be two-faced atleast make one of them pretty."
Luna's face was as red as a tomato. Her red lips were in a thin line. "Luna, you should just stop alrea-"
"Fuck you!" she screamed, her voice shrilly. She scared me and everyone walking by.
"You're a little bitch Sakura. You really are just like your mom. Taking everything that's already taken. You're the daughter of a low class whore!"
I really couldn't take it anymore. Everything that happened after went by fast. I swung the first punch, Luna tried to slap me and pull my hair, we were wrestling on the ground and people tried pulling us apart. Luna screamed really loud, but I kept going after her, all my rage focused on her face. I felt someone's arms wrap around my waist and hoisting me up into the air, Luna still kicking and screaming on the floor.
"You need to calm down!" a voice said. It was Tsubasa-senpai. "You're a bitch Sakura! Drop dead! You're gonna pay for this, you skank!" Luna screamed as she was helped up. Her face was bloody, makeup ruined, clothes ripped. I struggled to get free and do more damage to Luna. "Let me go!" I said.
Tsubasa was still carrying me as we walked somewhere far from Luna, "I'm gonna shut her up! Let me down senpai!" I yelled, still struggling.
"Mikan, you've done enough! Stop now." Tsubasa put me in a chair. He grabbed my ears and rubbed them, "Woooosaaaaahhhh" he repeated over and over while rubbing my ear lobes.
I smacked his hands away. Seeing I calmed down a bit, he sat down next to me, "Damn Mikan, what was that all about?"
Before I could begin to explain, Hyuuga was running towards us. "You're always missing it." I told him as he stood in front of me.
"What?" he said, breathless. "You're never here when it's between me and Luna, but you're always there when it's me and Ruka, or me and a guy in general."
He looked annoyed, "What were you even doing talking to Luna, nonetheless fighting her? Didn't I say violence wasn't the answer? Why would you do something so stupid!"
"Woah! Calm down." I grabbed my ears and repeated Tsubasa's words, "Wooossaaaahhh." That got a giggle from Tsubasa, a glare from Hyuuga, and amusement from me. "Mikan, I told you violence wasn't the answer." Hyuuga said.
"Yes Dad. I'm so sorry." I said sarcastically. Tsubasa laughing this time. Hyuuga glared at Tsubasa, "Can you leave?"
Tsubasa clicked his tongue, "I'll see you later Mikan, and it better not be on the ground whooping Luna's ass. Though I'd like to watch that again."
I grinned, "See ya Senpai, maybe you'll see it on YouTube tonight." Hyuuga grabbed my cheeks and squeezed them.
"Ow!" I yelled. He dropped his hands, "Why did you do it?"
I rubbed my cheeks, "She pissed me off. I didn't fight her cos I was happy, idiot."
"I don't even get why you're so worried." I told him. He sighed, "I told you it wasn't worth it. I didn't want you to resort to meaningless methods that will just cause more anguish. Mikan, you'll get hurt even more."
"Okay Confucius." I said, the sarcasm just immediate. We barely knew each other, but why did he care so much. "We barely know each other, why do you care?" I said my thoughts aloud before realizing it.
He stood up, "Do you want me to spell it out for you Mikan? I like you. I obviously like you. You make me feel like an idiot. Why do I care? I still don't know! Why do I find myself just wanting to be near you? Don't ask me"
My heart started the tremors again, the blood rushed back to my face, my palms were getting sweaty, I sat there numb. I couldn't find the words to say anything, I sat there wide-eyed staring at a guy who was struggling with understanding why he likes me the same why I struggled to find reasons why I like him. The mutual struggles baffled me even more.
"Say something." he said, sitting down next to me. I furrowed my eyebrows, "What do you want me to say?"
"Tell me how you honestly feel." he looked me. I looked away, trying to find the words I needed but wanted to say. I knew I had to say something now.
"We've only been talking for a while and you got me trying to figure it out. I don't know what to say to you, but you got me feeling some kind of way for you. It's hard to explain the way I feel about you, I just can't find the words." then it happened. I leaned in to kiss him. Finally giving in to the denial and reaching acceptance, that I, Mikan Sakura, is in like with Natsume Hyuuga, the guy who really bugs me.
It sounds like I'm ending it here but I'm not. I feel like I need to address the reason why Luna dislikes Mikan. Oh boy, that'll be a lot of writer's block then. Till next time! :)
