Couldn't Believe...

Chapter 101

"Your answer?"
"... I..."
"?"

To be honest I did not expect this.

"Can I think about it?"
"!"

Wait, did she just say that she wants to think about it...? Does this mean that she might accept to be my girlfriend?!

"Eluma-"
*hugs*
"!"
"Of course, you can think about it. Take all the time you need, and I'll be waiting for you"
*nod* "Thank y-"
*kisses her cheek*
"!"
"I should leave. See you"
"... Yeah... see you"
*woosh*
"... I should leave as well, because I really think I'll collapse"
*woosh*

...

The next day, in the human world...

Same routine again. The last few days were a roller-coaster of emotions to be honest, so having some peace wouldn't be a bad idea.

"I'm leaving~"
"Why so soon? You still have time until school starts"
"Well..."

I just want to see Eluma's face.

"None of your business"
"... Still the same-"
"See you"
"See-"
*clack*

...

At Eluma's house...

*knock knock*
*clack* "Coming- Blackie? What are you doing here?"
"Oh, hey Hexy! I just thought we could walk to class together"
"I mean sure, but... it's 6:40 a.m., you know?"
"Yeah, but after the past weekend, going back to the same routine is pretty good"
"Well, you're right"
"... Can I come in?"
"Oh, yes sure!"
"Thanks"
*clack*

She's in a good mood today. Well, that's good to see. After what happened with Tina, I didn't see her smile for days.

"So..."
"?"
"Is Eluma here?"
"Oh yes, he's taking a shower"
"I see."
"Would you like to drink something?"
"Nah, I'm good. Thanks a lot though"
*nod* "Well then, I'll go and prepare myself. Make yourself at home"
"Eum... sure" *sits down*

I mean I came many times so I kind of already feel at home.

A few minutes later...

*clack*
"Hexy, have you seen my hair dryer-"
"!"
*glance* "BLACKIE?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"
*stare*
"Blackie?"

What is she staring at-

*glance* *gasp* "OH MY GOD SORRY!" *closes the door*

I'M HALF NAKED! NO WONDER SHE WAS SURPRISED!

"..."

Wow... I knew that Eluma worked out a lot, but his body is something else... broad shoulders, six-pack abs, muscular arms with veiny hands – literally the perfect body- wait, why am I even thinking about this?! Blackie, what's wrong with you?!

*sigh* "Seriously..."

My mind is a mess because of him. I should leave before things get more awkward between us.

*clack*
"Blackie, I'm ready- Blackie?"

She left?

*peak* "Hexy? What is it?"
"Oh nothing, but Blackie was here a few minutes ago, but she left. Did you see her?"
"I..."
"?"

Better if I don't tell him...

"No"
"I see. Well, we'll see her later"
*nod*

How can I face her now?

...

At school...

Even though I took a longer path, I still arrived early. It's 7:10 a.m., and here I am...

"Might as well sleep a little bit" *rests her head on the table*

20 minutes later...

"Blackie"
"Hmm"
"Blackie, the teacher's here"
*opens her eyes* "Thanks for waking me up"
*nod*
"Hello everyone"
"Hello sir"
"I hope you had a great weekend, because as you know, exams are next week"

Oh come on! I forgot about the exams... again!

"Ah, and by the way, who's in charge of helping Yamel?"
"... Me"
"Akari, can you today tell Yamel that he'll have to come and take the exams next week? And you can stop going to help him until the exam period is over, since you should also study."
"Thank you"
*nod* "Now, let's start the lesson"

That's good, at least I don't have to see this brat's ugly face.

...

After classes...

I tried to avoid Eluma all day, because every time I see him, I remember what happened in the morning-

"Blackie!"
*turn* "Hexy? What is it?"
"You're going to Yamel's house, right?"
"Yes, I have to"
*frown*
*glance*

Guess he doesn't like this. Not like I like it either.

"Can we go with you?"
"Huh? You sure?"
"Yes"
"Alright then, let's go"

...

At Yamel's house...

"Black Akari, you're here!"
"Where's Yamel?"
"He's in his room waiting for you"
*nod*
*knock knock*
"Come in!"
*clack*
"Black Akari, you're here-" *glance*
*frown*
"You two are here as well"

Why did they come with her? And here I thought we could have some alone time together.

"I'm not staying for too long, so we better hurry"
"Ah, yes"

2 hours later...

"That's all for today"
"Alright, thanks a lot"

This boy has been glaring at Eluma all the time, while Hexy was just smiling like he was about to roll on the floor while laughing.

*gets up* "Oh and one more thing"
"Yes?"
"Our exams start next week, so I won't be coming until they end"
"WHAT-"
"And the teacher said that you will have to go and take the exams at school"
"Are they for real?!"
"..."

Seeing him angry is just so relaxing. But I wanna spice things up to be honest.

"Babe"
"?!" *turn*
"Let's go" *takes Eluma's hand*
"!" *blush*
"What did you call him?"
"Hm? I called him 'babe'. He's my boyfriend after all, remember?"
"..." *clench his fist*

They're still together... just wait until I get back at my feet. I'll definitely beat this guy up!

*smirk* "Let's go. See you!"
*clack*
"We're leaving"
"This early-" *glance at their hands*

They're holding hands... looks like they're still together. Well, not like it's any of my business.

"See you"
"Oh, yes, see you"
*clack*

...

On their way home...

"... Blackie?"
"Hm?"
"Eum... why are we still holding hands?"
*glance* "Oops, my bad"
"It's okay. But why did you do this?"
"... Just to piss him off"

And because I wanted to hold your hand...

"Oh, I see"

I wished it was because she wanted to do it.

"We're here"
"Thanks for accompanying me back. I'll see you tomorrow"
*nod*
"See you!"
*clack*
*blush*

Maybe it wasn't a really good idea, but I had and I wanted to do it.

"I'm suddenly feeling hot. I should go and sleep a little bit"

That would be the best decision I take today.
