4. Hate
"Sorry."
Rin glares up at the blonde above her. His emotionless attitude clearly shows he isn't sorry at all for tripping her.
Picking herself up with dignity, she gathers her books from their scattered places as the teal-haired boy behind the blonde pats him on shoulder, sneering at her.
"Don't apologize, Len. This trash deserves it." He says, grinning maliciously. "Hey, shorty, let me help you with those."
"Hey!" She yells in protest as he rips her books from her arms.
"Heh, it'll be hard to study without books, right, nerd?" Mikuo says, opening one of the books. With a loud rip, he tears dozens of pages from her notebooks.
"No! Stop it!" She lunges at him, but he shoves her harshly out of the way. Rin lands on her rear, and Mikuo laughs again while Len looks away, seeming displeased.
"Stop that! Stop!" Rin screams, her eyes ablaze with anger. Grabbing his leg, she tugs with all her might, effectively bringing Mikuo down on his back, his head knocking the cement.
"Damn you, bitch!" Mikuo jumps up, her books forgotten, and his hand slaps across her face so hard she sees stars.
Before she can recoup, he strikes her again, harder, and she falls back, her hand to her cheek as pain courses through her.
"You'll regret ever entering my sight, you little-" Mikuo starts, about to hit her again, when Len suddenly grabs onto his arm.
"Quit it. She's not worth it. That's enough." Len says impassively, his eyes dark.
"The hell? But-"
"No. We're done. Let's go." Len commands.
Casting a vicious look at her, Mikuo rolls his eyes. "Whatever." He shrugs off Len's hand and stalks off.
When Len turns to her, Rin meets his gaze levelly. Her face stings, but fire reflects in her eyes. She's ready to fight back if she has to.
They stand off, neither moving, before Len suddenly offers a hand to her. Rin stares at him, confused. Her enemy, whom she hates with a passion, is willing to help her up?
Not trusting him, she makes no motion to take his hand, instead giving him a dubious look.
"I'm not going to hurt you." His voice sounds odd then, and his blue eyes show emotion. "I promise."
Flinching, Rin say nothing. Yet, something is telling her this is okay.
Taking a deep breath, she reaches up and takes his hand.
Author's Note: Just letting you know that FF's word counter is off. These drabbles are all exact (i.g. 200, 400, 150, 350 words) and I don't have a clue why it's adding on words that aren't there. It must be a bug or something. Oh well. *Glares at doc*
Anyways, thanks for reading!
