Thank you for AppleRbear, Namixasfan, Firell Bloodrose, and khfan for reviewing!
Sorry I can't update faster. I'm sick this few days (what do you expect from a sick girl? XD). I checked on the summary and I decided to change it because it's a little different from where the story goes. OOC and grammar mistakes ahead. Hope you enjoy it!

3rd Denial: Caught Blushing
Didn't you think that your words to Roxas kind of… mean?
Kairi's words echoed throughout my mind all over again. Did my words to Roxas really that mean? I just said a simple word. Yes, a simple word that made him so shocked, his jaw dropped, and his clear azure eyes widened like it's going to pop out of his head.
Oh great, now I feel even more guilty than before.
Truth to be told, I never ever say something really cruel like that, scratch Demyx in that case (remember, Demyx is my oh-so dear brother). I never have the heart to hurt anyone.
I peered a little so that I can see what happened to Roxas, just to assure myself that he's back to his normal state. But, no! Roxas still stood there; making Sora -halfheartedly- dragged him along.
And, for Roxas case, you can see that we barely talked to each other, in peace. Every time we tried to make a 'normal' conversation (should I really put 'we' rather than I? Because it's ME who always aware of that), we'd end up insulting each other. So, it's a common thing to say anything like that to him.
The good thing is we never attract any attention, excluding our friends.
Wait a sec… Now it sounded strange.
'Every time we tried to make a 'normal' conversation, we'd end up insulting each other.' Insulting each other…
Riiigghht… Didn't that count as an insult? Why must he feel so shocked then? He must be exaggerating things.
Nevertheless, maybe I'll try to talk to him, no matter how it'll end up.
"Nam?" Kairi waved her hand in front of me. I blinked at shot a confused look to her.
"What's wrong?"
Kairi sighed. "You're spacing out. Look, we're already in our locker." Kairi opened her locker and put some of her books.
"Yeah, sorry," I opened my locker who is located next to Kairi's.
"Hiya guys!" a light brown haired girl with a unique hair style chirped and skipped happily towards us (us, it mean me, Kairi, Sora, and Roxas) followed by a bunch of people behind her.
I smiled while Kairi greeted the hyper brunette. "Hi!"
"Selphie, can you calm down a bit?" scolded Olette, the brunette beside Selphie.
"Roxy!" I heard someone called out Roxas' nickname. However, the said boy still dazing like before. The redhead who called him -Axel- shook his head. "What happened to him?"
Sora shrugged his shoulder. "I don't really understand why. I'm just asking him to… um… prove something and here he stood like a statue."
"To me, it looked like he just dumped by a girl," Axel mocked.
The brunette scratched the back of his head. "You can say… something like that."
Axel, along with a blonde, hazel eyed boy named Hayner who came from nowhere snickered mischievously. Hayner shook his blonde friend's shoulder, waking him from his trance.
"Ha! The prince charming is rejected! I wonder who the girl was," Hayner grinned.
I sighed and Kairi narrowed her violet eyes to me. "Are you thinking about something? It's clearly written on your face."
My hands raised and I put both of them to cup my cheek. "Am I really that readable?"
Kairi nodded her head. "Uh-huh. And you see, I can tell that it's all about Roxas."
"NO WAY!" I screamed from the top of my lungs. My surroundings then feel into a long dead silence.
I can feel my face flushed in embarrassment when all my friends' eyes fixed on me (including Roxas' who has woken up from his trance). They're all shot me a confused look.
Then Axel broke the silence. "Who's this girl? Where is our shy little Naminé?" Axel stated, pointing an accusing finger to me.
The violet eyed girl broke the silence and patted my back, "Now… now… Naminé. I think you have a new hobby besides drawing. You know, like screaming to peoples."
"I-I'm sorry," I stuttered to everyone. After that, everything came back to normal. I glared at Kairi who grinned mischievously.
"What do you mean by that? It's not about Roxas," I hissed, so that our friends didn't hear it.
"Nam, you should enter the drama club if you want to lie right in front of my face without me notice it. But really, it's written all over your face."
I'm not going to talk to him.
I covered my face with my free hand. "Kairi, please, he tried to flirt with me. Didn't you see that!? This is just the beginning of my bad day."
Today can't be any worse. First, I got that 'Demyx's teasing session' at breakfast. Second, Roxas gave me that hey-I'm-so-gorgeous- smile that truly made me want to vomit right away. Third, I embarrassed myself in front of my friends by screaming like crazy. And now, my Biology teacher paired me with none other than that stupid blonde boy, Roxas. The last person I wanted to meet.
Life is not fair to me.
I sighed, but kept my attention to the teacher who explained the assignment to the class. I saw Roxas from the corner of my eyes, staring at me with a weird look on his face.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" I asked, annoyed.
He shifted his gaze at the teacher and shrugged his shoulder awkwardly. I rolled my eyes. Geez, this guy is really weird.
"You know," he started, without even looking at me, "my neighbor's cat died when he crossed the street. And that's because of daydreaming."
"You know what?" I retorted. "The cat died not because of daydreaming, he was crashed by a car. And, since when do you care about it?"
The teacher left the class and all the students began to do their assignments. Well, except me and Roxas. Luckily, I've wrote down the assignment in my notebook.
"Umm… since I life in this world?" he said, raising one of his blonde eyebrow. "Why do YOU care?"
"Rephrase that! ...you. Oh please, since when did I care about you!?"
Roxas smirked and narrowed his blue eyes. "Since you are in love with me!" he announced proudly. And plus, stressing the word 'are' and 'love'.
"W-what!? That's crazy!" I denied.
"But you are, Naminé dear. See, your face is all red. It's sooo obvious," he said, in a flirting tone.
I touched my cheek and it's really heat up. Oh God, he caught me blushing! He tried to suppress a laugh when he saw my expression. Oh, how I hate this guy's guts!
As if he read my mind, he suddenly said, "Ha! You can't hate me. Today, I caught you blushing three times. First, when you saw me at the gate when you arrived. Second, when you said dumb to me, and third, well… you know it."
"And you see," he continued, "You're really hurt my feeling by saying that. I thought you-"
I picked up my thick biology book (I'm glad that I have that book now) and hit him straight on his face before he can continue farther. I heard him fumed something about my previous action could destroy his face and else, but I don't really care about it. The only thing that's important right now is…
I'm doomed.
I personally think that this chapter is really weird. I don't know. Next chapter won't take a long time. I promise. Thanks for reading.
As always, a review would be nice. =)
