I made a mistake on the timeline of the other chapter. Since the first 5 chapters and ½ of chapter 6 happened in one day. And that day was Friday, but I said on the following scenes that it happened"the next day" instead of "on Monday". Oh well, XD. I always mess up the time and date of everything anyway. [I thought today was May 23, but it turned out to just be 21.]
Oh and I messed up the pic about Yachiyo. Gomenasai! The link is on my profile page.
It seems like urls hate me. T^T
.
Anyways, continue reading… :D
Chapter 8 – I don't understand
"She's actually cute." Kise thought as he placed the box on the top shelf. He stole a glance at Yachiyo, and thought; "Maybe, the dust was just affecting my vision. Yes, that right! It's all just the dust!" And image of Yachiyo without her glasses flashed again in his mind. He blushed and scratched his head.
"Oi Ikemen, let's go. Class is already starting." Yachiyo said as she walked towards the door.
Kise looked at her and..."Pfft." Kise held his laugh as he covered his mouth.
"Huh? What?" Yachiyo asked.
"Are you gonna carry that alien toy with you?" Kise asked while still seemingly holding his laugh.
"Eh?" Yachiyo looked at the plush toy at her arms. She walks toward the shelf and places it beside the other plushies. "Ufo-chan. I'll leave you here for a while." She kindly said to the toy while smiling.
"Pfft. Ufo-chan." Kise said as he held back his laugh.
Yachiyo looked at him with sharply. "Did you say something?"
"What? I didn't say anything~" Kise said in a sing-song voice.
"I thought I heard you said you want 3 times more practice later." Yachiyo said sharply.
"Waa— Oh come on! I helped you get out and that's how you treat me?!" Kise shouted at Yachiyo.
"I don't remember asking, Ikemen." Yachiyo stuck her tongue out. "Beh :P".
"Yes, you did!" Kise shouted.
"You misheard me." Yachiyo said in a plain tone voice.
After a few more arguments between the two, Yachiyo and Kise walked out of the stock room.
.
Yachiyo spots the heavy container that was used to block the stock room door.
"By the looks of that, it seems like not just one girl did this to me... Oh well. Time for class." Yachiyo said as she walked ahead of Kise.
"Wait, aren't you hungry?" Kise asked."You haven't eaten anything have you?". Kise was thinking that she probably wouldn't admit she's hungry, but:
"Ah… yes. Go and buy me something, Ikemen." Yachiyo ordered.
"She lost all the moe she had just a few minutes ago." Kise thought. "I'm glad she's okay though."
"Yes, madam Meganekko." Kise answered in a depressed tone.
They both walked towards the cafeteria. "I wonder if the cafeteria's still open." Kise said.
"It is. It would always sell to students until dismissal and at certain times when they are cooking. They cook only at 6:00 – 7:00 for recess and 11:00 – 12:00 for lunch." Yachiyo stated in her usual voice.
Kise was amazed and said; "Woah. How did you even know that?" He laughed a little.
"I'm part of the Student Council so I know the schedule of the whole school." Yachiyo explained.
"Ah… I remember, did you really arrange all the students to block the shortcuts when we were running?" Kise asked.
"It's Friday so the other clubs have lots to do." Yachiyo explained again.
"But didn't they complain when you asked them to be at that specific place?" Kise asked.
"Not really. The crafts club wanted to build in a huge space, the gardening club wanted to plant more flowers and the cheer leaders need a place to practice since the field was occupied." Yachiyo explained. "I made sure that the clubs I'd use comply with mine and their needs so they won't get affected."
"She's really amazing. She plans things thoroughly." Kise thought.
.
They arrive at the cafeteria and proceeded to buy a sandwich and 2 milk cartons. Surprisingly, Yachiyo knows the cafeteria staff.
"Ah. Yachiyo-chan. Where have you been? I thought you were absent because you weren't here." The vendor asked.
"Gomenasai. Obaa-chan. I just had to take care of something." Yachiyo said that in a friendly warm voice which shocked Kise.
"So she acts kind to others too. And they seem close." Kise thought.
"Ne, Yachiyo-chan. Why are you with him? Oyaa. I smell something fishy~" Obaa-chan teased.
Truth is, Kise can hear her.
"Eh, Ikemen is just my classmate." Yachiyo replied.
"Ikemen?" Obaa-chan looked confused.
"Hai, and I'm not interested in guys like him." Yachiyo said bluntly.
The Obaa-chan laughed and said; "Yachiyo-chan, it seems like you are denying something."
"No, she really doesn't like me, Obaa-chan." Kise thought as he made a crying expression.
.
The two of them sat down in a table.
"Here." Yachiyo handed to Kise the second milk carton. "It's for your help."
Kise looked surprised and took the carton. He just stared at it without saying anything.
"What?" Yachiyo asked.
"A token of gratitude." Kise looked at Yachiyo with a teary eyed expression. "I don't think I could drink this. *sniffs* It's the first time Meganekko acted kind towards me *sniffs*"
"Oi, stop making that stupid expression. And please move to another table. You are creeping me out." Yachiyo replied.
"That's mean!" Kise replied as he wiped his eyes with his sleeve.
Yachiyo started eating without any care showing at her face.
.
"Seriously, if any other girl was sitting in a table with me. They'd start blushing. But her, she's… weird." Kise thought as she stared at her.
.
"Ne, Meganekko, your glasses are really thick." Kise said.
"I know." Yachiyo said while nibbling on her sandwich.
"I can't see through them" Kise said again.
"I know." Yachiyo replied as she nibbled.
"They look unfashionable you know." Kise said.
"I know" Yachiyo answer as she continued nibbling.
"How long have you been wearing those?" Kise said.
"I know." Yachiyo said as she nibbled.
.
"OI! Answer my questions properly! Goddamit!" Kise shouted at Yachiyo.
"You're the one who's trying to talk to someone who's eating." Yachiyo said with a straight face.
She and Kise stared at each other with annoyed expressions. It looked more like a staring contest than anything romantic.
She then eats the last bite of her sandwich and drinks some milk.
While Kise just sighed and looked at the milk carton.
.
.
"Since 2nd year of middle school." Yachiyo said.
"Huh?" Kise looked at her again.
"That's when I started wearing these glasses." She explained.
"Naru hodo.[Oh, I see.]" Kise replied. "She actually answered my question."
"So your vision wasn't that bad back at middle school?" Kise asked again.
"My vision wasn't bad back then; it just deteriorated when I wore these glasses." Yachiyo replied.
"Eh? Then why did you wear them in the first place?" Kise asked. "am I actually having a decent conversation with her?" he thought.
"Because of Tetsuya. He bought these at a shop and gave them to me. " Yachiyo explained.
"Pftt. Wahaahhahaha." Kise laughed. "So you only wore those because Kurokocchi gave them to you?! Ahahahha"
"Stop calling him Kurokocchi as though you're close. " Yachiyo said bluntly.
"But we are close." Kise defended. "Why? are you jealous, Meganekko?" he teased.
"I am not jealous. And besides, there's nothing to be jealous about since you are not as close as you think, Ikemen." Yachiyo replied mockingly.
Once again, another short circuit sparked between their stares.
"Oh well, at least for a moment we had a decent conversation." Kise thought. He looked at Yachiyo who is now drinking milk. He then proceeds to ask; "Who do you think did it?"
"Hmm?" Yachiyo bobbed her head to the side, showing confusion.
"Who do you think locked you up in the stock room." Kise said.
"Ah… a couple of girls." Yachiyo said plainly.
"So you have no idea who they are?" Kise asked.
"Nope." Yachiyo looked uninterested as she sipped the milk.
"Don't you want to know? I think I might know—" Kise said but was interrupted by her.
.
"Don't tell me. Please. I might end up taking revenge if I knew their names." Yachiyo said. "Tetsuya won't be happy if I hurt girls. 'Girls should be treated more delicately'. "
"But you are a girl too." Kise said. "You don't have to—"
"I have to. It's against my principles." Yachiyo defended.
"It's not against your principles. It's against Kurokocchi's principles." Kise stated.
Yachiyo stands up and effortlessly throws her garbage at the small can almost 10 feet away. "His principles are also my principles."
"I don't understand you." Kise said as he cupped his hand under his face. For some reason, he got annoyed at what she said.
"You don't have to." Yachiyo said as she stretched her arms as she turned her back at Kise. "Now let's go back to class."
"I don't want to." Kise protested.
.
"I was kinda hoping you'd say that." Yachiyo said. She turned around and faced him; "Let's go to the rooftop."
.
at the rooftop
The winds starts blowing and Yachiyo lifts her hands up high. "I love the wind here." She looked happy but Kise didn't.
"The wind is ruining my hair." Kise said as he tried to fix his hair.
"Ikemen, you act like a girl…" Yachiyo starts walking towards Kise and stares at his face. "You know…"
Kise's eyes widened as Yachiyo looked up to her.
"You know… I hate piercings." Yachiyo said bluntly.
"Eh?... EH?!" Kise said while looking confused. "And there I was, thinking she'd say something nice."
"You don't have to tell me that ya know!" Kise shouted at her.
Yachiyo walked away and leaned against the wall as she sat down. "I'd say what I want to say." She said mockingly. She looked at Kise and seemed to chuckle a little.
Kise looked away from her but he start walking towards her too. He sat down a few feet beside her and leaned against the wall. "If that's so, then… I also hate glasses." He also said mockingly.
The wind blew again and a peaceful atmosphere filled the air.
.
.
"Ne, you like Kurokocchi don't you?" Kise said. He wasn't looking at Yachiyo, instead he just looked up at the clouds.
"No I don't." Yachiyo replied bluntly. She also was looking at the clouds.
"It's obvious you like him." Kise said without looking at her.
"I don't like him." Yachiyo said. There was no tsundere-ish tone in her voice. Just a plain fact sounding sentence.
"Why are you denying it? You've been acting like you like him all day you know." Kise said.
"But I really don't." Yachiyo said.
"No you do—" Kise said.
"Tetsuya saved my life. And for that I am forever grateful." Yachiyo said.
Kise looked at her and thought "saved her life?".
"I will always be by his side just like he's always been by my side. He accepted me for who I am. I would never let him down. But despite these feelings, I know for myself that they are not love." Yachiyo said in her usual plain voice. She looked down at her hands.
Kise didn't say anything but he thought; "She's actually telling these things to me…"
"I can't believe I told you that, Ikemen." Yachiyo said as she looked up at the sky.
"Ah… I see now." Kise replied as he also looked up... "Sorry."
"For what?" Yachiyo asked without looking at him.
"For making you say those things. And also for mistaking you to be in-love with Kurokocchi." Kise replied. "You could beat me up now if you want to. Ahahaha"
"Ikemen, falling in love is not part of my plans." Yachiyo stated.
"Gomen, gomen." Kise said then he laughed.
Yachiyo smiled too. She looked up at the sky. The sky reflected on her glasses making it turn a little blue. "It's fine." she said plainly. But despite her usual voice, it sounded different in Kise's ears.
Kise looked at the smiling Yachiyo.
Even with her glasses, she still looked cute.
"I think I'm starting to understand this weird girl." Kise thought.
.
"But, I'd beat you up later." Yachiyo stated plainly.
"Ah…. EH?!" Kise said softly then shouted.
.
"I take back what I said. I still don't understand."
.
