Couldn't Believe...

Chapter 118

End of classes...

Aside from the fact that Eluma was absent, today wasn't bad. I got to talk to all the boys in my class, and spent the rest of my time with Hexy. And all of this in front of Yamel and the rest. Maria and Sally were so sad that Eluma wasn't here, while Estelle glared at me every time I talked to Hexy. Oh man, their faces were amazing. Jealousy all over the place. And whenever Yamel came to talk to me, I'd shove him off-

"Black Akari!"
*turns*

Now I won't avoid him.

"Why didn't you talk to me all day?"
"Why would I?"
"Because I called you!"
"So what?"
"You should've answered!"
"Who the hell do you think you are?"
"... Your friend-"
"Okay, let me be clear. We are not friends. Get this inside your head, would you?"
"..."

I know you love me, but you're still hurt by what happened.

"Now if you'll excuse me-"
*grabs her shoulder*
"?!" *shoves* *slaps*
"Ouch!"
*glare* *grab*
"!"
"Don't ever touch me again, you understand?"
"..."
"UNDERSTAND?"
"... Yes"
*let go* *turns* *leaves*

You're lucky we're not in CelestiaLand.

"Yamel, what the heck was that for?!"
"... Nothing. Let's go"
"..."

He's too obsessed with her.

...

At Eluma's house...

*knock knock*
"Coming"
*clack*
"Hey"
"Oh, hey sis! School's over?"
"Yes"
"I see. Where's Hexy?"
"I left before him"
"Ah"
"How's Eluma?"
"Better. You wanna come in?"
*nod* *enters*
*clack*
"Blackie?"
"You're feeling better?"
"..." *remembers* "Do you... like me?" "I don't"
"Eluma?"
"Yes, I am"
"That's good to hear" *smile*
"!" *teary*
"Eluma?! What is it?!"
"... Nothing"
"Don't lie to me! Are you hurt?!"

Physically? No. Emotionally? Yes.

"No"
"Then what's wrong?!"
"I already told you, it's nothing"
"..." *sigh* *hugs*
"!"
"If you don't want to tell me what's wrong, at least let me do this"
"..."

Please, stop. Stop making me fall for you more and more, and then hurting me. I beg you.

*let go* *wipes away his tears* "Stop crying now. I brought you orange juice! Along with the materials we studied today"
"Thanks, but... you're sure that I can drink juice?"
"That wasn't for now. At the moment, the only thing you are allowed to drink is tea"
*chuckle* "Thanks. I'll drink it once I get better"
*nod* "Good"
"What did you do today?"
"... Nothing, just pissed them off. Their faces were hilarious"
"I see"

I'm not telling him about what happened just now. The less he knows, the better, especially in his state.

"Anyways, I have to go to CelestiaLand. Are you able to come with me? Or would you rather stay here-"
"I'm coming"
"... You sure?"
"Yes"
"Alright. Let's go. I'll call Hexy-"
*knock knock*
*clack*
"Blackie! Why did you leave me?!"
"... You were late"
"THE BELL JUST RANG! YOU WERE THE ONE THAT LEFT TOO FAST!"
*sigh* "My bad. We're leaving, you wanna come?"
"To where?"
"The amusement park"
"Really?!"
"OF COURSE NOT!"
"Ah"
*sigh* "We're going to CelestiaLand"
"Ah, well, I'm going"
*nod*
*woosh*

...

In CelestiaLand...

"We're here"
*cough cough*
"Dude, you don't look good at all. Why the hell did you come-"
"I'm fine"
"..."

He's not fine.

"I'm calling Vamp-"
"No need"
*turn* "Vamp! You're here!"
"I was training a little when I heard your voices- Eluma, are you sick?"
"A little, but it's okay"
"Oh hell nah! We're not letting a sick man working. You go to sleep now"
"What?! No! I-"
"Ey! Not a word!"
"... Alright"
"Go to sleep. We'll take care of-"
"Black Akari?"
*turn* "Ah, you again"
"You're here?"
"... I'm the director"
"Ah, yes" *glance*
