4th CHAPTER

POV: Kame

Kanzaki pinned both of my arms to my side as his lips crashed onto mine. I desperately tried to escape but failed. I whimpered, as he slid his tongue into my mouth. I could feel the coolness of his metal piercing as it came in contact with my lips. Chills ran down my spine. My heart raced as I blushed madly. I could feel his hands caressing my sides. That had gone on for almost 10 minutes, and I felt as if my mind had turned foggy. As he finally released me, I staggered, unable to support myself. It was as if my whole body had turn into goo. Sucking in all the air I possibly could, I noticed he did the same too.

"That was good," he said.

Those were the 3 words that made my cheeks burn. He noticed that but all he did was smirk as he pulled me into a hug; his arms wrapped around my waist. He was so close that I could feel his breath against my neck. I squeezed my eyes shut. He inhaled, taking in my scent. He stayed like that for a while before letting me go.

"You've broken up with Oga. I heard. Why did you hide it?"

It was at that moment, I was at a loss of words. "I-I thought you knew...,"

He soon shrugged it off, as he took a step back; his eyes, never off my form.

"It's getting late, you should get back now," he said, his face without expression.

Hesitantly, I nodded, quickly scurrying away like a frightened mouse. Kanzaki gave a smug grin. My mind screamed. Why didn't I fight back? I was such an idiot. Quickly entering my house, I locked the door behind me. I felt tears swelling in my eyes. I then slid down against the door; arms wrapping around my knees as I cried. "Oga…,"I sobbed quietly.

"Why do you leave me at times when I need you the most?"

"Why do you keep hurting me?"

"Is it alright for me to just forget about you?"

"That day when you announced our separation, in truth, I knew it ended."

"You're with her now. You should be happy...,"

"Stop it! Just leave me alone!

"You're lying!"

"Not even tears would bring you back."

"I have nothing."

"I have nothing left ….so don't go…"

I woke up the next morning with my face covered in tears. It wasn't a dream. It's all so true. Frowning I got up from bed, rubbing my face in the process with a towel. I then checked myself in the bathroom. Man, was I a mess; bloodshot eyes, a red nose as well as flushed cheeks. To make things worse, today was a school day for that matter. If anyone saw me like this, I'm done for. Maybe I could pretend that I'm sick. Yeah, why not? It's not like we study anyway. Besides, today's my off day at the florist too. But still…Kanzaki would think I chickened out from yesterday. I groaned mentally.

This was so not good.

I sighed. I had put tons of make up this morning. It was a success though. But the downside is my voice sounded like crap. I tightened my grip on the strap of my Yumi. After those punks broke my favorite Yumi, I had no choice but to bring a slightly smaller, but heavier one. If I see those guys again, I'm going to slaughter them! To think they just pushed me around like that. It disgusted me.

As I was continuously swore profanities, I thought I heard a ring of laughter just then. I blinked a few times. As I spun around, I saw a familiar girl walking together with a guy. "Isn't that…Azusa?" I questioned myself. Bad timing. I didn't want her to know that I had been crying. I hid behind one of the walls, hoping to remain unseen.

Likewise; she suddenly starts waving at my direction. Before I knew it she was right in front of me; followed by the blonde male behind her.

"Kame-san! It's you!" she said smiling. I smiled in return, my hazel orbs meeting her dark ones.

"Azusa-chan, how are you? I've haven't seen you for a while now…," I said, patting her shoulder. Thank god, those words came out smoothly.

"I'm fine! What about you? You're in…er….I-Ishiyama High right?"

It was as if at an instant, the male's eyes widened. I sent a questioning glance towards his way; raising a brow. Azusa stared at my Yumi, but decided not to question about that. Soon she noticed my expression towards Kazuya and introduced him.

"Oh, that's Kazuya Yamamura. You know him right? He used to be in the same class as me," Azusa said.

"Yeah, I remembered. Nice to meet you Yamamura-kun."

Kazuya merely flashed a small grin and gave a nod.

"…Azusa-chan, how are the others?"

"Ah, they're fine as ever. Most of our old classmates entered Saint Ishiyama Highschool. Though compared to middle school, competition now has grown a lot,"

"I see…Ah, so you must be studying hard. You're always so hard working," I said as I patted her shoulder.

"Nah, not really," she said, giving a sheepish smile. Almost immediately she changed the subject, "Eh, anyways…I just wanted to ask you, are things alright in Ishiyama High? Cause I heard many rumors about the school being-

Kazuya suddenly cleared his throat, cutting in. "It's almost time Azusa-chan, you wouldn't like to be late,"he said, walking ahead.

With that, Azusa gave a bow, apologizing. "S-Sorry, Kame-san I really have to go now. I hope we can have some tea together sometimes and maybe chat,"

"It's alright. Tea sounds great,"

"Yeah, see you around!"

I only smiled as a response, as she ran to catch up with Kazuya. The smile on my face soon faltered, turning into a frown. I missed her a lot. I surely did after I switched schools. But it was not my place to complain. After what happened, I doubt I would be welcomed into other schools anymore.

I chuckled inwardly as a thought ran through my mind.

Oh, how a simple mistake can flush your life down the toilet…just like that.
