"He just wanted your body!"
I looked at the glasses girl and laugh my head off. She folded her arms and huffed. We were in the middle of PE when she dragged me to the corner and told me to break up with Kurosaki-kun. I wiped my tears with my finger and tried to control my laughter. Chizuru still looked at me with that stubborn look. She wouldn't stop until I break up with Kurosaki. Well, the problem was not about whether I wanted to break up with him or not, but how.
The girls were playing volley ball while the boys were playing basketball so Chizuru had this chance to talk to me because usually, Kurosaki would be by my side 24/7. It would not be easy to break up with him. If Chizuru was stubborn, then Kurosaki was more than just stubborn. To break up with him needed a good strategy and plan.
"Chizuru-chan," I smiled at the girl, Chizuru was one of my best friend. People called her weird—how dare they!—but she was still a really great friend for me, "Kurosaki-kun is not that bad..."
"You don't know!" she cut me off, "I heard rumours! Kurosaki is in a Yakuza group, he often hangs out with those yakuza and went to a suspicious store! I believe that he is a junkie!"
I hissed, "Chizuru-san, it's not nice..."
She cut me again, "I'm not finished yet," she put a finger on my lips and look at me seriously, "Tell me, you never dated anyone before right?"
I shook my head.
"Kurosaki is a player! He is with a yakuza gang! He must have many women! He just wants to taste your body!" somehow Chizuru looked frustrated now, "He is experienced! He will do many weird things to your body! You are a virgin, you don't know what he might do to your body! He might use ro—"
"Stop it there."
I hear a growl. An animal—uh no, a monster!—had appeared!
Chizuru turned around and found a tall Kurosaki stood behind her, growling and angry, he looked uber scary. Chizuru widened her eyes, she didn't expect him to be there, well me neither but for some reason I was kind of happy to see him there.
"Kurosaki, uh hwaaa, what are you doing!"
Kurosaki-kun was growling and grabing Chizuru's collar and shoved her aside. He took my hand and pulled me to his body. Then he put a hand on my waist to keep me secured.
"Stay away from her," he warned Chizuru sternly, "Don't corrupt her mind with your pervert thought!"
"Kurosaki-kun..." I looked at his face and was surprised when I saw his angry face.
"Let's go," he dragged me leaving the angry Chizuru.
Kurosaki was strong. He pulled my hand and took me to the school back yard. I felt bad that we had to ditch the class but I also wondered what made him took me here. Maybe he wanted to talk about something...
When we stopped he just stood there with his back facing me and one hand holding mine. He didn't said anything but I am waiting for him to say something.
I watched his back. His t-shirt was soaked by his sweat. His orange hair was also wet. I realized how manly his back was, he looked so strong and seeing his back somehow made me feel secure. If I were with him, nothing could harm me.
I looked at our connected hands. His hands were big and calloused. His hands were also strong. He never did it, but I wondered how it would feel to be hugged by those strong arms. I blushed at the indecent thought. Bad Orihime! I shouldn't think about that! I quickly turned my eyes to somewhere else—to somewhere safer—and it fell on his hair. It was bright orange. He was the only one with that color in our school. My hair was a little darker than him. He was strong and not friendly, plus his hair was that color, I guess that was why people always connected him to bad people like yakuza...
Kurosaki-kun couldn't be a member of a yakuza gang, could he?
Well, it was not that bad, right, to be a yakuza? As long as he didn't kill anyone... Eh, he couldn't have killed anyone, right?
Kurosaki-kun was just too scary and too strong, but I found that he was also really handsome. Emm, I found that the way he scowled was kind of... charming? Oh well... I never told anyone about this, not even Tatsuki but sometime, even before I know about the bet, I would steal a glance at him. He was sure a good looking guy. I guessed it was pretty normal if he were popular amongst women...
Like Chizuru-chan said earlier. Ichigo must have many experiences with women already. He must have had many girlfriends before. Now, that he had me as a girlfriend, it must be super boring, after all, I didn't have any experience with boys before...
"...Oi, you hear me?"
I blinked.
"Oi!"
I saw a scowl.
It was so close...
"Kyaaah!"
I jumped back a little when I realized Kurosaki-kun was so close to me, he was calling me and I didn't hear him because I was too deep in my own thought. I blushed. He must think that I was really stupid.
"I am sorry," I laughed nervously, "What did you say?"
"Nah, forget it!" he straighten his back and looked away, he looked annoyed and it made me feel bad.
I sighed. I didn't know what to do when it was just two of us alone. Kurosaki was always scowling and looked like he was angry all the time. I was afraid that if I said something wrong he would be more angry and hate me, that was why I kept my mouth locked so I wouldn't say something wrong.
I looked down. My shoes were more fascinating than usual.
"Sit."
I looked up but no one there. Eh?
"Sit down!"
I looked down and found the scowling boy sat on the grass where he stood before. He patted the area next to him, telling me to sit there. I knew better than to disobey him so I quickly sat next to him. I didn't dare to look at him.
"You know, that girl," I knew he meant Chizuru, "is dangerous. You better stay away from her."
I looked at him, "Dangerous? Why? Chizuru-chan is my friend!"
"He likes you!"
"Yes, of course," I nodded, I didn't see where was the problem, "I love her too."
Suddenly he turned red, "Wh-what?"
"We're friends," I explained to him, "I love all of my friends."
He looked away, still with red face, "Then all of your friends' dangerous."
"What?"
"Forget it!"
I smiled, I didn't understand but this Kurosaki in front of me was really cute.
"We ditched the class…" I said while looking at the sky, used one hand to shield my eyes, "Ditching is bad."
"It's fine," he grunted, "Nobody would realize."
"Tatsuki-chan would realize it."
He groaned, "Yeah, she would know that you're with me, so it's fine."
I didn't understand what he meant by that so I turned to look at him. Kurosaki-kun was already laying on his back on the grass with both his eyes closed when I looked at him. I closed my mouth which was half opened, originally ready to say something. I watched his face carefully. Yep, I was right, he was really handsome.
"Hey, Kurosaki-kun…" I braved myself to ask him, "May I asked you something?"
"Hnn."
I took that as a sign to go on.
"Err," I bit my lower lip and though for a while should I say it or not, "why do you want to be my boyfriend?"
He still closed his eyes, "no, that's not it."
"Hm?"
"I don't want to be your boyfriend, I want you to be my girlfriend."
Yes, I remembered that . He did asked me to be his girlfriend.
"Oh, okay," I laughed nervously, "Then, why?"
"Why what?"
"Why do you want me to be your girlfriend?"
He still closed his eyes but I was surprised when I saw his smirk.
"Why wouldn't I want you?"
I was taken aback by his words. He didn't say anything and I didn't ask anything else. I looked at his face, maybe he was sleeping. His words, the ones he said just now, made me happy. Maybe it was a lie but I didn't care.
Kurosaki-kun… I want you too…
