KONATA's POV

Ugh.. I'm seriously not in the mood for any lessons and etc today.. / I hardly slept last night.

Every time I close my eyes, I could see his image / ..

I won't be surprised if one day i'd see dark circles forming under my eye.

"KYAAAAAAAH! KISE KUN!"

Speaking of the devil..

Ugh.. I sulked my head over my desk.

"Kise kun! Can we take a selfie?"

"Kise kun! Will you sign my notebook?"

"Kise kun!"

"Kise kun!"

"Kise kun!"

"Kise kun!"

Gaaaah!~ ENough of that 'Kise kun' 'Kise kun'! It's ruining my eardrums!

"Wow.. Kise kun just arrived and he already got his hands full with all them ladies"-I heard Hachiko mumbled as she approached me. She sat on Hotoru's desk.

I put my elbows over the table and cupped my face with both hands and made a 'Pfffft'.

"You know sometimes I wonder"-I gazed at her with my sleepy eyes. "How things would be like if you two didn't break up.."-she continued.

"Shut Up Hachiko."-I coldly respond.

"Okay okay.. I'm shutting up now"-

I decided to glance outside the window. There was a slight breeze that greeted me so I breathe in to feel it.. A slight beacon from the sun's ray kind of beamed on my face as well... Somehow I felt relax.

Feeling calmed down, I turned my head to the other side to face back at Hachiko.

Surprisingly, it was a different image.. It was a close up image of him staring straight at me.. With both our eyes locked on each other.

It took me a couple of seconds before I fully realized what just happened.

I JUST HAD A CLOSE FACE-TO-FACE and EYE-TO-EYE contact with Kise Ryouta!

Due to my adrenaline rush, I quickly jumped off my seat.

For a moment there, our faces were just an inch apart from each other.

/ I can't help myself from blushing.. I placed my hand over my chest and clutched my fist.

I didn't want to look at Kise but it's like there was an invisible force that made me do it. He was staring at me, too.

"K-konachi? A-are you okay? I-i didn't mean to startle you"-he said stepping forward towards me.

I stepped backward..

And another step..

But he kept moving forward.

And then..

*SLAP!*

I could hear a lot of gasps within the classroom.

I looked around and realized what I just did. I glanced at Kise and noticed the reddish mark on his cheek.

So i did slap him.. I thought it was just my imagination.

"Did you see that? He just slapped Kise!"-

"Yes I did"

"Who does she think she is?"

"Yeah slapping our dearest Kise"

I gazed around again and saw my female classmates wearing frown faces.

I hurriedly ran outside the room and up to my favorite sanctuary, the rooftop of an abandoned building located somewhere at the back of the school.

I really have no idea why I did what I just did..

The moment I realized our faces were so close, I just suddenly burst out.

I was only thinking of one thing.. Our first kiss...

Maybe that's the cause of my action.

I wiped away my tears with my palm.

Why of all days.. Why did I remembered that moment?! That moment our lips locked for the first time..

I thought I have forgotten all about it.. But I was wrong.

Ugh! I should really stop sticking from the past!

The past remains a past!

I went back to the room, pretending not to notice the furious gazes the girls are bestowing upon me.

There was Hachiko anyway that tried to comfort me.

"Why did you do that?"-she asked me through a whisper.

"I don't know"-I bluntly said.

I have not yet quite recovered but there goes the devil again.

He approached us once more.

He was somehow rubbing her left cheek.. The same cheek that I had slapped earlier.

"Ow.."-Kise wailed bluffly. "That really hurt Konachi.. What was that for?"-he added.

I rolled my eyes and ignored him.

"But.. You're forgiven"-he chuckled.

Ugh.. Like the hell I care /

- - - 2 weeks later. Saturday.

"I love you Kamishiro kun. Please don't go!"

"I'm sorry Rize san.. But I can no longer bear seeing you in pain because of me.."

I was just in the moment of feeling the drama I'm watching when the television screen suddenly went black..

No wait.. It turned off.

I looked around and saw Mido'kun holding the t.v plug.

I puffed my cheeks in annoyance. "Mido kun!"-I stood up and ran towards him. I was gonna grapple him but he stretched out his arms and put his hand over my forehead, stopping me from getting any closer.

It was a Saturday night and both of us are in Tetsu'kun's place. I already called home and they already permitted me to sleep over here. Mido kun as well. We were both in Tetsu kun's room.

Tetsu kun entered. He was helping his grandmother in preparing some snacks for us in the kitchen a while ago.

Mido and I were still doing the same actions we were doing earlier.

"Mido'kun! Put the plug back on! PLEASE!"-I kept on begging and begging but he was just so strong for me to budge.

"I do not want to waste time watching such lame movies."-He bluntly said while readjusting his glasses.

Gosh this guy's so annoying!

"Tetsu'kun! A little help here?"

But as expected. He just sat on the floor and stared at us.

"Love stories aren't lame?!"-I protested.

"Yes they are"-Mido, also, protested.

"This is not even your television! Tetsu kun!? Tetsu kun?!"

Tetsu kun gave a sigh and stood up. He easily grabbed the plug which was in Mido's grip. Mido kun was obviously shocked.

"Oy Kuroko"

But Kuroko ignored him. He put the t.v plug back on.

"Let's just watch another show"-Kuroko reached out for the remote, turned the t.v on, and changed the channel.

This time it was even worst.

It was a cartoon channel!

"Are you serious?!"-I sat beside him. "Cartoons?"-

Mido kun also sat. So technically, i was in between the two of them.

"Suoh chan"-Tetsukun mumbled.

"Uhn?"-

I could tell he was about to say something but Mido kun interrupted.

"Is it true you slapped Kise?"-

I almost choked.

That like happened 2 weeks ago?

"It was an accident"-I answered.

"Accidents are unavoidable"-

I totally agree with Tetsu kun!

"So what happened?"-Mido kun asked, adjusting his glasses, again.

"Wow.. You're asking as if you're concerned Mido'kun?!"

"Tsk"-

"Yes Suoh chan? Why did you slap him?"-Tetsu kun asked in his plain voice, as always.

I just gulped.

Should I answer? Should I not answer?

Then I remembered our faces being an inch apart from each other.

Kyaa / Should I lie?!

"Don't force her Kuroko.. Tsk.. She doesn't trust us anymore"-

/ "W-whaa?! I-it's not like that.. It was just really an accident.. That's all"-I pouted my lips and looked down.

"Suoh chan"-Kuroko uttered.

"Hmm?"-I merely looked at him.

"You're lying"-He said.

"Ah yes.. She does that when she's lying"-

"W-what are you talking about Mido'kun?!"-I'm fully aware that I'm stammering.

"Pouting while looking down"-Tetsu kun.

I faked a chuckle and tried to change the topic. "Look at that! It's so funny!"-I said, laughing while pointing at the t.v.

"But it's already the end credits. Suoh chan.. I didn't know you find end credits funny"-

I'm actually trying to figure out whether what Tetsu kun just said was a pun.. Or he's just frankly speaking. Hays.. Sometimes I don't get him..

"L-let's change the channel shall we?"-I stole the remote control from Tetsu kun's hand and reluctantly switched the channels.
