Mia's words echoed strangely in her head.
Dating…May?
Mia took her silence as disbelief. "Sora, I know you might not believe me, but I spoke to Michelle and Lauren. They saw May and Leon having dinner together last Thursday night."
"…We're not dating."
After she said the words, she realized that it was true. They have a date set up tonight, but otherwise they had not been on a date before. The thought followed another realization that they weren't anything when it all boiled down to it.
Not partners, not friends, not significant others…
Nothing.
"Oh," Mia blinked at her friend. "Well…ok?"
Sora could hear the confusion in Mia's voice, but she really had no other words to say to her statement. She did not know how her friend knew that she has an interest in Leon. After all, her friends were there when she told him straight in the face that she didn't like him.
Maybe she saw us one time.
They weren't that inconspicuous when they'd have their 'lessons' or even when they were flirting with each other.
Vaguely, she heard Mia say some other things, but her ears had shut off somehow. She nodded her head absentmindedly and she soon found herself alone among the trees.
Alone.
She felt her legs shake; her hand reached out to the back of the bench. She sat not so gently on the bench as she blankly looked at the grass. She shuddered as a cold something invaded her insides. Her arms went around her stomach and her head bent down, her bangs falling over to cover her eyes.
Why did she have such a terrible feeling in the pit of her stomach?
A pitiful sound came from her, making her still in her thoughts.
Why should I feel this way?
There was really nothing to get upset about; while he was the one to seek her out on most occasions, she was more than ready to accept his flirtations and seductions. She even took the initiative several times.
She knew he was chasing after her. She had even called him a "hunter" and he called her a "minx." They had acknowledged each other as predator and prey. Her sadness morphed as she continued to think.
It's part of the game.
How could she have been so stupid to have not realized it before?
She slowly lifted her head up, her eyes flashing with dangerous fire.
I will not forget that again.
