Is This a College?
Chapter 6: No Better?
I felt terrible for two weeks after what happened. Everything good in my life, at the college, was crumbling. Eu hated me, the others won't talk to me, and we have early pre-exams this year. Things weren't right and that's just because our plan to get Yoruno and Eu to talk to each other failed… miserably.
I left a note under Eu's door, a risky move based on the fact boys weren't allowed in a girl's dormitory. The note read 'Meet the person you NEED to talk to at our bench'. When I effectively did left the note, I ran for the hills and got out of there. I knew Eu and I met at the soda machine bench at 6:45 a.m. anyways so she was bound to show up even if she didn't see it.
I ran to Yoruno at the bench and let him know that Eu would be coming soon so he should be prepared mentally. He nodded and said, "I will say what I want to Eu, and let her decide on forgiveness."
I smiled to him and assured him, "She will."
Eu appeared at around 6:35 with my crumpled note in hand. The first bad sign was the fact that the note was crumpled, but the good sign was the fact that she was still here, so I let it play out. But that wouldn't last long, I also noticed her expression as she took large steps closer. Her mouth was in deep frown and her eyes had the intent to kill in them. I could, obviously, tell that she was pissed.
It was then that I realized that I was still sitting on the bench, well within this explosive's radius. Once she was in a good distance for talking I said calmly, "Hey Eu, thank you for coming, I have someone here who would like to talk to you." She merely stared at me with her glare as I continued, "Eu, you need to understand the fact he's sorry-"
I was surprised when I heard a yelp come out of my mouth along with a burning sensation on my cheek and then I came to a sudden realization of what happened. She slapped me right across my face. When I looked to her, she still had her angry expression on her face. "Eu, did… you slap me?"
She nodded with her expression still on her face when she started scribbling something down on her notepad. When I saw what she wrote, I could understand her anger slightly. 'What are you doing with the likes of him!?'
I tried to explain but Yoruno decided at that time to sum up our plan himself, "Eu please don't blame him. I asked him to get us together to talk about our problems in hopes of you forgiving me."
I, honestly, wanted to laugh because he said it so fast that it was barely audible for the untrained ear. Eu looked at me for the unneeded confirmation. I nodded, "It's true."
Eu looked calmer, but she was still visibly angry. No… not angry. Frustrated. She brought up her notepad, but you could tell she was still thinking about what to write. I think I understood the situation she was in. It was one of the situations where you're mad about something, but once proven wrong, you want to find another way to get rid of all your excess anger by finding a different subject. Finally, she wrote something. 'You didn't tell me this from the, why?'
Now that was a cheap trick there. But, she was just trying to get the remaining anger out of her, so I had to be patient with her. Unfortunately, Yoruno wasn't picking up on what she was doing, so he took it seriously, "We wanted to surprise you, is that so bad?"
Now things were edging into the wrong direction. Eu's usually calm temper was starting to flare up, and Yoruno was showing visible frustration in his eyes. Eu scribbled something roughly down and showed it to us. 'Why are you being so harsh all of a sudden?'
I was about to say something to calm them both down, but, again, Yoruno piped up his mouth again, "Maybe if you understood what was going on through your thick skull, you'd understand why I'm being so harsh!"
I tried to say something to him this time, but Eu tapped her pen viciously against her pad. 'You're the thick skulled one. Who was the one who fell for obvious lies in highschool!?'
Now if TV taught me anything, this is usually the part where the violence breaks out. Yoruno decided to not shut his mouth and said something that made my own eyes widen, "Well, at least her bust wasn't a lie like yours."
Eu's eyes looked like hell incarnate itself when she was about to write something down until I decided to man up and intervene. I snatched Eu's notebook from her hand and slapped it across Yoruno's face. Both looked at me shocked, when I realized a sudden thought in my head, 'What now?'
I looked at them both with worry while they looked at me with shock. They expected me to say something and I had to say they were being immature. Easier said than done. I just started saying what I thought, "You're both acting like brats right now!" I said it harshly but I someone had to say it, "Eu, you can't anyone to be perfect. You have to let go of the past and focus what's in the future."
She was obviously surprised, more so when she reached for her pen and her now missing notepad. I then looked at Yoruno, "And you, grow up! You want to apologize, don't you?" Yoruno slowly nodded at this, "Then apologize, don't increase tensions!"
Eu patted the back of my shoulder. When I turned around she was grabbing for her notepad. I looked down at her with my height advantage. I asked her calmly, "Will you communicate in a civil manner?"
The question was simple enough, but I had to take it as a no when Eu didn't stop making grabs and ignored me completely. My eyes drooped a little, "Eu, just promise me you'll use this in a civil manner at the moment, please."
Eu had stopped grabbing for it and starred at me fiercely in the eye. Before I could say anything else, she kicked me in the shin and grabbed the notebook which was still gripped firmly in my hands. We were in a tug-of-war match with the little pad.
"Let go!" said a weary voice.
I blinked and looked at the direction the voice came from. All I saw was Eu. The realization hit me like a train. I immediately let go of the notepad and stared at Eu.
The voice, though weary, was beautiful, just as Yoruno said. It was high pitched but not squeaky either. Just that perfect pitch and tone.
It was when Eu was tearing up that I stopped gawking and walked towards her. I also noticed upon further inspection that her face was clenched in pain. "Eu… are you okay?"
She looked at me with angry eyes and said calmly and stoic, "My throat hurts… and look what you did to my notepad." I looked at it and felt a tremendous amount of guilt when I saw it. The spiral broke and had sent all the pages flying around the area. Eu's eyes were tearing up and calming down, "That was the notepad that I used since the beginning of the school year."
I looked at her with sad eyes and said, "Eu, I'm sorry…"
She looked at me and pointed to Yoruno, "You're no better than him!" she yelled, "You betray trust and make everything worse!"
Those were the last two sentences I heard from her before she stormed off. Yoruno himself excused himself from the area and retreated to the dorm. I just stared at the pieces of paper that were floating around with the wind.
I picked up a page from the ground and recognized it immediately. 'I am Eucliwood Hellscythe, it is also my first year here.'
I picked up another. 'I want to be an inventor.'
And another.
And another.
I wasn't sure how long I starred at the pages I gathered, I just know I had to go to class when I finished. Word had spread fast of the argument. I could only guess Yoruno had turned his back on me. I remember sitting alone at lunch, my other friends to disgusted with me and siding with Eu.
It was when I was going to sleep that something popped into my head. 'Everything is destructible, but who says it can't be restored?'
The next morning, I went on a hunt for the remaining pages.
(A/N)- , replies, request and another story: Hello Ladies and Gentleman, boys and girls, Muffins and Midgets… another chapter done and even more done. This one was… overly dramatic but hey that's entertainment for you.
Few reminders: I have a DeviantArt account. Username: Spazeman. I take request to make random 2d things (So long as they're funny.) Nothing else to report there.
I will, for the time being, take ONE-SHOT request from you guys for as long as I am here (on fanfiction). Will I get to them all? Probably not. Why? I'm already writing a story.
And I'd like to say thanks to this list of people:
titen anwolf
krikanalo
InfiniteReader
Soul-Ryuu the Hedgehog
And a great big thanks to (drum roll) epicman for his calming comment. (The following was corrected and/or edited to fit proper grammar.
listen I know where you're coming from your first story and all is hard but the thing is a lot of people give up before they even finish or just take it down but this story is one of those few story's that people can enjoy sure not many people read it now because of a few reasons 1 it takes a lot more time 2 not everyone knows about this anime/manga and 3 you just have to follow your gut if you need time then tell everyone to shut the f*** up and take your time don't rush it and I hope you will have time finish this P.S. if continue I support you all the way.
I would like to say thank you because this comment eased me a little. First off, he criticized me and I'm one of those people who love that. Second, he indirectly said I was more determined than others to write stories. Third, he enjoys my story (8^3. Fourth, he eased me to take my time. Last but certainly not least, he supports me. Thanks for your loyalty man. My hat is off to you.
Lastly, check my profile once a day because I'm gonna be publishing a brand new story, which I honestly consider better than this one. It is a Familiar of Zero (Never heard of it? Watch it!) And a Halo crossover fiction. Isn't that original? Thought so.
Later my fellow Muffins and Midgets.
