Class Six: Confronting

Ameko stared at the swaying willow tree outside the classroom window while the teacher lectured about something boring. She silently tapped her pen on her textbook. Suddenly, something landed on top of her hand. Ameko picked up the folded piece of paper and looked at it with a confused expression. She opened it up and read the note inside:

"Meet me at the host club after school. –Chikage"

Ameko turned to look at Chikage. He took a glance at her and then looked away. His fangirls, however, gave Ameko a death glare. Ameko frowned and thought,

'Whatever he wants…I don't care. I'll manage to deal with him…on my own.'

Ameko stuffed the note into her skirt pocket and continued to stare at the tree.

~ After School ~

Ameko strolled into the quiet host club and saw Chikage sitting in one of the chairs. She walked up to him with a glare and asked,

"What do you want?"

"I just wanted to tell you something."

"What is it then?"

With a sudden movement, Ameko found herself pinned against a wall by Chikage. She squirmed and tried to break free, but nothing worked. Ameko muttered,

"Are you afraid that I'll escape?"

"You're a clever girl, Ame-chan. That's why I like you so much."

"What?"

"I like you. I want you to be my girlfriend."

"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested."

Chikage's face leaned closer to Ameko's as he said,

"Nobody turns me down."

"Well I'm rejecting you right now! Do you have a problem with that?"

Suddenly, Ameko heard a scream and Chikage let go of her immediately. Ameko spotted Sayuri. The angry girl came up to Ameko a slapped her in the face. She screamed,

"What are you doing with my boyfriend?"

"What was I doing? He was the one who pinned me to the wall first!"

Sayuri shot an accusing glare at Chikage. Ameko couldn't take this problem anymore. She didn't like Chikage! She liked…well, she didn't know who she liked. Ameko ran out of the room and bumped into someone. When she looked up, her eyes met a certain pair of blue eyes. Ameko exclaimed,

"Saito!"

"Ame-chan! Are you okay? What were you doing in there?"

Without thinking, Ameko just hugged him. She buried her face in his shirt and thought,

'I think I know who I really like…'
