"You know what my problem is?"
Moriyama asked, chugging down a fruit juice while eyeing the scene unfolding at the far side back in the cafeteria. A sweet freshman girl came to Yamauchi Ryuu, where he was sitting with his football buddies and gave him a heart-shaped box, saying something. Obviously a confession.
"What?"
Kasamatsu asked as he trying to put a straw into his juice box. He, Moriyama and Kobori were at the canteen finishing their lunch.
"Girls like bad guys. They don't like good guys like me. That's my problem."
Kobori chuckled as the greenish haired teen said with a serious face.
"Yeah. It's totally unfair that they all like Kise just because he's beyond evil right?"
Kasamatsu said with a smirk as he watched Ryuu turned the girl down and she ran away wiping at her eyes. Seconds later he was laughing and chatting with his friends like nothing happened. It seemed so easy when it's Ryuu. If a girl confessed to him, he would have a heart attack.
"Are you mocking me? See Kobori, he sees my pain and he mocks"
Moriyama complained.
"Well, I guess it's because your particular pain is so mockable"
Kobori said high fiving Kasamatsu as the shooting guard slammed his head on the table.
Ryuu and his friends were leaving the cafeteria engaged in a chat. The brunette excused himself to his friends and jogged over to the table occupied by the basketball seniors.
"Yo Yukio, the band practices are canceled. Hayasaka told me to pass you the message."
"Uh, Oka_" Kasamatsu started but got interrupted by a very broken hearted Moriyama.
"Oi Yamauchi, why did you turn that sweet little girl down? Why??!"
Ryuu lifted an eyebrow. "What? ...oh you mean the girl who confessed just now? Well, she's not my type. Besides I can't. I'm already dating someone else."
"Eh? WHO?!" Moriyama was half standing now. Kasamatsu shot his eyebrows up.
"Okay... tell me how in the world anyone doesn't know about it yet?"
That's a really good question, cause if Ryuu's dating a girl it will be headline news in Kaijou since he turned them all down so far.
"It's Shizuka. Actually, I haven't asked her out yet. Well, I'm going to, today."
The three basketball players dropped their jaws. Of course, everyone knows Shizuka. The captain of the cheering squad. A hottie but a total bitch. She used to date Kawamura Keiji, the captain of the soccer team, a fellow Pentagram member.
"You? You gonna ask her out? Are you on crack?"
Kasamatsu asked disbelievingly. Because he can remember as yesterday that Ryuu told him that Shizuka was bad news for everybody.
"Hmm... last time I checked, I'm pretty sober dude. Oh well, gotta go guys. Catch ya later."
He shot a wink and waved as he jogged away and joined his buddies. The steel blue-eyed teen put a mental note to ask him about it later. There should be some other explanation for this incomprehensible stupidity.
XXXXXXXXXX
"Err... where the hell is he?"
Mikami Ruka muttered to herself as she roamed around Kaijou searching for a certain steel blue eyed teen. It was almost 7.30 in the evening; a good half hour before the dancing practices normally ends. But why wasn't she practicing then? It's all thanks to that idiot Kise. His equally blond and model type big sister came in a brand new BMW and took him_ no drag him away for a 'Glamorous gig' which she forgot to mention earlier.
Yeah. So here she was, alone, trying to find the basketball team captain. So he can lock the gym and finally, she's free to go home. But Kise didn't even give his number and he's not answering his damn phone now. Ruka was pissed. She checked the music room, but it was locked. Where could he have gone?! She was now dragging herself up the 3rd years building to see if he's in his classroom at least.
"I'm gonna kill that idiot Kise... at least he should have told senpai if he's gonna escape early...aahh!"
She stepped to the corridor and straightened up sighing. There was only one light at the end of the corridor, yes, 3-1 class. He must be in it. Ruka smirked and started to walk toward the lit class through the empty dark hallway... and stopped when she heard it. The soothing beautiful sound of guitar strings filled the lonely silence.
I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time
Deep inside, it was a rush
What a rush...
Ruka froze in her tracks, listening. The voice was clear and soft; she knew exactly whom that voice belongs to.
Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way
About me, it's just too much
Just too much...
The thing was, he's not just singing, he was telling a story. The hazel eyed girl felt as if he meant every word he sings. She strode quickly and peeked through a window.
Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You've got me hypnotized so mesmerized
And I just got to know...
She saw him. A shining guitar in hand, he was sitting with a relaxed expression on his face. His eyes were closed, his tie was loosened around his neck and he had his sleeved rolled up. Ruka flattened her back against the wall beside the door as she felt her heart racing fast.
Do you ever think when you all alone
All that we can be where this thing could go
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it really just another crush?
Kasamatsu kept his eyes closed as he sang. For some reason, he kept getting images of the auburn-haired girl flashing away.
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back, like the way I do?
Cause I've tried and tried to walk away
But I know this crush ain't going away ay ay ayay...
He saw the first time they met when he was being chased by Akuma. The next time at the park, when he knocked over her and ruined her ice-cream. At her class, at the fireworks festival. Every moment he spent with her replayed itself in front of his closed eyes as he sings.
Has it ever crossed your mind?
When we hanging spending time girl
Are we just friends? Is there more?
Is there more?
See it's a chance we've gotta take
Cause I believe we can make this into
Something that will last
Last forever, For ever...
He opened his eyes, as he looked up the same girl was standing in the doorway looking at him, a soft smile on her face. The moonlight shone on her face making it ever so beautiful. He knew he must be dreaming, so he sang all he meant straight to her.
Do you ever think when you all alone
All that we can be? Where this thing could go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it really just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back, like the way I do?
Cause I've tried and tried to walk away
But I know this crush ain't going away...
He stopped playing and kept staring at her. He was sure he was just seeing her from his memory until she spoke. His eyes went wide.
"Hey senpai"
