Hi everyone.
It's finally the holidays!
I'm sorry about this kinda late update (for me at least) I was going to update yesterday before going up to Scotland but we had no time.
So I hope you enjoy this chappy, and sorry if it's a little short.
"Please Mummy, please?" Ami pleaded as she looked at our mother with puppy dog eyes that made everyone in the room want to hug her tight.
But Midori stood strong not giving in to Ami's pleading, no matter how cute she looked. She shook her head as Ami's eyes started to well up with tears. Seriously, kids could cry about nothing. I watched them from the corner of my eye as I chucked another chocolate into my mouth. Just a few seconds ago we had all been watching TV and suddenly an advert about Utau's upcoming concert had come up. Ami had squealed with delight as she copied the moves of Utau and when she heard that Utau's was performing a concert in our town she went completely crazy. She jumped around and pointed to the TV, "Mummy, I wanna go," She got a blunt no. Ami loved Utau, she admired her, but our mum said that she was way to young to go to concert and also the price of just one ticket was way too high. Ami pleaded again but the answer was still the same. She pouted as she dumped herself down on the sofa and went into a sulk. Mum sighed as she took a sip of her red wine.
I finished the last chocolate as I yawned stretching. It was kinda late-ish and for some reason I was exceedingly tired. I kinda know the reason though. It was because of Tadase and Ikuto, again. Seriously, those two need a break, from each other! They caused a riot in the cafeteria to and both landed all three us, including me, a detention. I didn't even do anything, I tried to stop them! But the teachers didn't believe me and said if I argued anymore I would be in more deeper trouble. So I shut up. But I did glare at the two for the rest of the time in detention, and I am sure they could tell. What were they even fighting over? It's the same old thing everytime they see each other. They can't just try to contain their hatred, they let it all out. It causes me a lot of headaches. The thing is I like them both when they're on their own, even Ikuto surprisingly, but together it's like hell has broke loose. But it's just gotten worse now that Tadase has transferred. It's nice and all that he's at our school but I wish he would fight less with Ikuto. But I guess that's a wish that will not come true, not for a while at least. I yawned again as I stood up on my feet.
"I'm going to bed," I told my family as they nodded.
I hugged Ami who was still a little upset as I said good night to my parents. It was funny that I was going to bed earlier than my little sister. But I guess I needed it. I trudged up the stairs as I let my hair out of my hairband as it fell to my shoulders. I came to my door as I twisted the door knob open and walked inside. I stopped in my tracks as I stared at him on my bed just casually sitting there like it was his room and his house. Weird, but hey, why was he here?
"Yo," he smirked at me seeming to know what I was thinking from my expression.
First things first, I want him OFF MY BED. I walked up to him, hands on hips as I pushed him off. He fell to the floor and pouted at me.
"That wasn't very nice," he moped.
I shrugged my shoulders not really caring if I was nice or not. He sat cross legged as he grinned at me. At that split second, he really reminded me of a cat. I felt like petting him on the head, and that my friends, is just plain weird. I raised an eyebrow at him still wondering why he was here. If he did have a reason, he didn't seem in a rush to say it.
He stared me up and down, "Nice pj's."
I blushed scarlet red as I quickly looked away. The pervert! The pyjama's I was wearing were some dark pink shorts with hearts on them and a white top that was a little bit see-through. I was wearing a jumper over it but I had taken it off when I had arrived at my room. I did not expect any boy to be here. But to make that kind of comment. The blush disappeared as I clenched my fists. Uggh, has he made me mad. I picked up a book that was left on my bed as I tried to smack him on the head. He could see it coming as he stood up and grabbed my arm stopping me from hitting him. He grinned at me playfully, he was very close to me and I could feel his breath on my face. I could tell I was blushing again.
"Now, now. No need for that, Amu," he snickered.
He let go of my hand as I took a deep breath in. Calm down, Amu. Don't let him get to you. But he had gotten to me and my heart was beating so frantically I thought it would burst out of my chest. Ikuto could tell I was acting like this, and he used this to his advantage.
He sniggered, "Amu, do you possibly like me?"
I stared at him with utter shock. Me? Like Ikuto? Him of all people? What was he, insane? But, how do I explain my frantic heart beat. No, I was just having some kind of random heart attack is all. I am not in love with him! No way in fricking hell. I bit my lip. I don't. I know, I don't. But I...
"Huh? You? Dream on," I snorted.
His face fell immediately after I said that. I scrutinized him wondering why he looked kinda depressed. He saw that I was worried as the smirk appeared back on his face.
"Don't deny it. I know you do," he said this with such sincerity that it really shocked me.
I didn't know what to say or what to do. Or anything for that matter. I could just stare at him as he looked at me with those hypnotic sapphire eyes. I blinked not wanting to fall into them.
"I don't. End of story. Now can you please tell me why you are here?" I asked finally being able to question him about this.
He did not carry on the conversation before as he answered me obediently. I was sure he would have ignored my question. But hey, guess I was wrong.
"I came here to give you this," he passed me something that looked like tickets.
I looked at them and then gasped noticing they were for Hoshina Utau's concert.
"You can't give me this!" I said trying to give it back to him.
He pushed it away and shook his head.
"I'm not giving it to you. Utau bought a ticket for you and me. She wants you to see her concert," he said as he wrapped my hand around the ticket.
I never thought Utau would do something like that. But why to her concert? Why would she do it? It was very generous of her and I am sure that Ami will be extremely jealous if she finds out. I took the tickets as I put them away somewhere I would remember where I put it. I looked at the date. That was tomorrow. I could go, but I don't know what my mum would say. I turned around and sat back down on my bed. Ikuto sat down next to me.
"I'll drive you there by car so be ready tomorrow about 4pm, that's if you're allowed," he said it as if I was like some kind of child who needed permission for everything.
I scowled at this, "I hate it when you treat me like a child."
He chuckled as he wrapped an arm around my waist bringing him close to me.
"Trust me, I seriously don't see you as a child," he laughed.
I tried to get out of his grasp but couldn't. I sighed, he seemed rather...clingy today. Oh well, I guess this is better than him being Mr. I'll ask a question then I'll drop it. That's another thing that annoys me about him. He never told me what he was trying to say those many times before. He'd always just say never mind and leave it. That's just one of his annoying traits. Ok, what the heck is he doing? He dug his face in my bubblegum coloured hair as he smiled. I looked at him, feeling a little weirded out. Maybe clingy wasn't the right word.
"You're hair smells like strawberries. Hah, you're my little strawberry," he grinned as he played with my hair twisting it around his finger.
I was about to protest about this but gave up. I was way too tired now and I could already feel my eyes drooping. I was terribly tired. I yawned again feeling sleep overcome me. I tried to keep my eyes open but sooner or later they closed completely. I could still feel Ikuto playing with my hair when I blacked out.
End of Chapter
