Chapter 12
Acchan POVA week after that event happened, Kuu, Mariko’s boyfriend woke up. When he was well enough to go back to school, Mariko broke up with him. She didn’t tell him the reason why because if she did, Kuu will find a way for them to be together. He might march in the office of Mariko’s mother and get beaten up again just to tell her that he loves her daughter. Kuu became upset with Mariko because she won’t tell him the reason for their break-up and he acted like they never met but I could feel that he still loves her. Mariko pretended to be okay with it but every time we pass the hallway and Kuu is in her sight, she would have that longing in her eyes while looking at his direction but she kept her poker face to show that she has no problem, and when we are alone she would just silently cry on my shoulder. Well I was a little, just-a-little happy because of this. Mariko and I became closer and she was hanging with me and Haruna, we became inseparable but of course I was saddened to see a friend of mine in this state.
“You know Mariko, I know that Kuu still loves you . . . . he is always stealing glances whenever you’re in the same room” I gently brushed some of her hair on her face.
“I know . . . But I can’t, you know the reason well Acchan . . . I don’t want it to happen to him again” she wipes her tears and sighed.
“Un . . . Let’s just hope that someday, you would be back together with him”
“You know, you’re very optimistic Acchan” she smirked
“On the contrary, I’m very pessimistic . . . . I just didn’t make it too obvious” I smirked back
“Oh, so you think you’re better at hiding secrets than me, eh?” she was finally returned to her trolling state. “I’m gonna dig them up in no time”
“Who knows? ~ ” I played along
“Well then, let’s play a game that I like to call Flip the Coin” she was smirking evilly now
“EH?! What’s that?” I asked
“Okay here are the rules: first you call it, heads or tails, and if you guess it right you can ask me anything and I will answer honestly but if you call it wrong, you will have to answer the question I have for you . . . “
“O-Okay . . . . “ somehow I could feel something bad is going to happen, it’s Mariko were talking about! The rich and sadistic troll.
She took a coin from her pocket.
“Heads or Tails?” she asked
“Ummm . . . . Heads” I answered confidently
I could see a small smile from her mouth. She flipped the coin and caught it with her right hand, then she placed it over her left hand.
“Sorry but you called it wrong.. . . “ she showed me the coin on her hand, it was the back portion.
“I never really heard you talking about a guy except your cousin Saburo so the first question I want to ask you is, do you have someone in mind?”
I flinched; I hope I didn’t make it too obvious.
“Of course . . . . NO” I denied, if she knows that I like a guy she would tease me non-stop.
“I see. . . . Okay, again. Heads or tails?”
“I still chose heads”
She flipped the coin again.
“Sorry, it’s still wrong” she smirked “Okay, so your second question is, who do you frequently send messages to?”
“M-My parents . . . “ I answered
“Are you sure? . . . “ she doubted
“O-Of course! Why would I even lie?”
“Then, let me look at your phone” she reached out her hand
This is bad, well I do send messages to my parents frequently but. . . she might see Kai’s messages for me, she might think that he is the one that I like “T-The battery’s dead . . . . There’s no use for you to open my messages” I stepped back
She was ready to grab me but.
*ring ringMariko took out her phone.
“Moshi moshi . . . . Haruna?”
”Mari-chan? . . . where are you? I’ve been looking everywhere for you”“Gomen ne Haruna, I’m with Acchan at the rooftop . . . Why what’s wrong?” she asked
”I’m at the football field watching their practice . . . would you accompany me?”“Their practice? Or Yuu’s practice?” she teased
”Mari-chan!!“Hahaha. . . I was just joking, we’ll be there in a bit”
She ended the call and returned her phone in her pocket.
“Be thankful that you were saved by Haruna. . . . but one day, I’ll dig out all of you secrets” she smirked
“You can try . . . but I assure you, you’ll never succeed” I smirked back. “So what did she want?” I asked her
“She wanted us to watch her ‘Yuu-chan’s’ practice” she said it while quoting the Yuu-chan part with her fingers
“Hahaha . . . That Haruna, I wonder why she still didn’t accept him to be her boyfriend, after all her mother gave him approval also they look good together” I said as we go down the stairs.
“Yes they do, it’s her father who still did not approve . . . . Don’t forget Haruna is a tsundere and an airhead . . . . So maybe, Yuu will have a little bit of difficulty for them to go out . . . “ Mariko replied as we walked down the hallways.
“It’s a good thing that Yuu is persevering and patient . . . . but he tends to look at other girls despite being loyal to Haruna” I said
“Well he is a guy, they tend to get distracted easily by just a panty flash . . . “ Mariko giggled
“But remember, no one has infinite patience . . . One day Yuu would feel hopeless of not getting an answer from Haruna, then he will look for someone else” we went outside the school building and walked to the football field
“But if he really loves Haruna. . . . he’ll be willing to wait” Mariko replied
“ ‘Abused patience turns to fury.’ My mother quoted this . . . I hope Haruna won’t take Yuu’s love for-granted” As we arrived on the field we saw guys running, kicking soccer balls, stretching, talking, etc. We spotted Haruna seating in one of the bleachers.
“Haruna!” I shouted as we began to approach her and without knowing, someone was running at full speed towards our direction.
OOOMPHHShe bumped into me. She dropped and object and I managed to catch it. But I couldn’t keep my balance so I fell on my bottom.
“I-Itai!” I rubbed my swollen butt
“Gomen nasai! . . . . I didn’t mean to!” the person bowed her head every so lowly
“It’s okay . . . “ I smiled while holding the object tight in my arms.
A camera?“No. . . . Let me apologize . . . I’m really, really sorry for my actions!” she shook her head in an exaggerated way and bowed even lowly. “You even caught my camera . . . “ she added
Now that I took a good look at it, it was a HDSLR Nikon Camera.
Wow, she’s rich“Here . .. “ I stood up and gave her the camera
“Thank so much!” she bowed again
“So are you a pro?” Mariko asked
She shook her head. “No, just an amateur free- lance photographer . . . I just enjoy taking random pictures“ she smiled
“So whose picture did you took?” I asked
“E-Eh . . . . T-That’s . . . “ she fidgeted
“Let me see . . . “ Mariko suddenly snatched the camera from her
“A-Ah!”
Mariko scanned the pictures.
“It’s just a guy . . . “ she said
“A guy?” I asked
“Yep, all of them are pictures of a guy with different emotions . . . “ she said as she showed me the pictures. “In this one, he is laughing, in the next one, he is serious, the next one, he is exercising, drinking water, changing his shirt, tying his shoes, kicking the ball, talking to his friends, etc. . . . In short, she is a stalker . . . “ she added
“N-No I’m not . . . I-It’s just, he is really amazing in everything he does . . . “ she blushed
“I’m sorry but we still don’t know your name Stalker-san. . . . “ Mariko teased
“Yuki. Kashiwagi Yuki of Class 1- C but please call me Yukirin” she smiled
