LOVELY RIVALChapter 1: ReasonOK, so…?
I looked straight at her. We’re with the same sitting position, cross-legged, facing each other, and I'm getting tired with this silent state for 30 minutes already, so I started talking to her. She looked startled for a moment and then with an unusual movement she started wiping the sweat from her forehead with her palm and began to fix her red blood coloured red shirt which now gets filled with her sweat, maybe she was very grateful to use hot pants rather than pink training sweats like I used this time so that she can anticipate more of any burning sensation from this lack of air which she felt currently, afterward, she began to reach her hand into her black purse, grabbed her cell phone and soon began to busy playing keypad while she bowed her head lowered than before, obviously trying to ignore me.
“Hold on for a while, hopefully we can get out of here as soon as possible..” I said to her.
I look to the top of the elevator, where there were a little hole for the air, so I’m not really surprised if the air was stuffy and obviously hot. I, myself with this PINK (for once, I hate pink T.T)training clothes of course, actually feel my breath was getting heavier. Remember that fact once, I take a glimpse at her again. I was worried every time I saw her face redden from time to time.
“You really okay?”
Once again she did not answer, busy with the keypad of her cell phone that she was holding.
“You're not texting are you? no signal here, I’ve checked it before..”
She stops typing, like exhausted of many thoughts she roughly re-enter her cellphone into her purse with a loud sigh, and leaned back on the elevator wall behind her. With a leaning movement completely, I could see her face clearly now, her face filled with sweat and she looks annoyed when she has to get rid of her bangs that often falls to her face. My eyes fell on a very red cheeks of hers. Without thinking I crawl toward her, she looked startled by my sudden movements.
“What are you doing?” she asked
I kept crawling toward her, after close enough, I could see her jaw tightened, and I took the position of sitting in front of her, I brought my right hand toward her left cheek, and stroked it slowly.
"You really okay? You looks like a tomato” I asked while looking at her eyes.
"I'm okay"
"Really?" I saw her eyes with the "don't-lie-to me" look.
"Yeah"
“But your cheek’s very red”, this time I lean my forehead on her forehead, attempting to measure her body temperature.
“I’m okay!!” she jerked away from me and looking away
“Do you want to sleep a little while we wait..” I tried to touch her forehead with my hands when she slapped my hands with hers.
“Leave me alone!!” she yelled at me, her face redder than before
“Look, I’m just worried about you, okay? I don’t want you to be sick so I..”
“You don’t have to be worried, I’m okay! Do your own business!” she shouted, still looking away from me. From a very close range, I can see her chest pumping up and down and her cheeks redden again.
“You really didn’t want to talk to me. You’ve completely ignored me for a month or more already and still, with this situation, you act like this. Why did you do this to me?” I asked her, trying to control my cracked voice, my hands were clenched in my lap.
“…”
“What?? Care to tell me?” I asked her one more time, now my hands which is resting on my lap shaking very hard, and I can feel my eyes teary.
“…” she remained silent still look to another way
“Why Reina?” I cant hold it anymore, I can feel a tears flowing through my cheeks and fell into my lap.
Realized she wouldn’t bother, slowly I got back to where I sat earlier, and curled my body. This is very bad. I was trapped in this elevator for 30 minutes already and now I know for sure that my friend would like to keep avoiding me, she really hated me. I couldn’t stop the tears flowing from my eyes. I like her. So why did she hate me?
Suddenly I heard a voice from the top of elevator.
"Hello? We’ll lowered the lift about three floors so you can get out. I want you to hold on to something in order to reduce the shocks, because the elevator will be lowered manually"
“Yeah, please help us.. we’ll hold onto something” Reina answered
“Ok.. “
Ignoring advice to hold on into something, I keep crying.
I don’t care.
Shortly afterwards, I felt someone put her arm around my waist. I look up to find Reina’s face was so close with mine. OMG, her face's so red! Maybe me too, because I can felt my face flushed just by looking at her adorable face. Slowly she put her other hand to hold a holder on elevator wall behind me, the holder was so high, so she has to put her face beside of my cheek so she can reach it while she practically hug me. I can hear her breath with my ear. I don’t know if I stunned or what, but I can’t say anything.
“Are you insane? Don’t you hear it? He told us to hold onto something” she whispered to my ear slowly. I can feel my body shivered a little.
My heart was banging so hard and my sob can’t stop either.
“Stop crying Sayumi, I’m sorry”
“….”
“Right when we can get out from this da*n elevator, we’re going to talk. So please stop crying. I hate it.”
“Just tell me a little about it now, I want to know it now.. What's your reason for avoiding me?”
“Can you keep it a little while? This elevator’s going to drop!”
“I like you Reina, you’re one of my best friend. It’s hard for me to think that you are hating me, even just one second”
Krak.. Brak.. Brak..The elevator dropping so hard for a a couple times and I can felt Reina tightened her arms around me.
Once it calmed, I can feel my breath getting heavier again, I’m pretty sure it’s because of the shock, but it’s too painfull, ah, my asthma. My eyes closing slowly as I hear her voice.
“It’s because of Eri.. About you and Eri, you seems very close to her lately..”
“Y-you..”
“Yes, my heart hurts everytime I see you two.. Eri, It seems that I have special feeling towards her, but I don’t really know..”
“Re.. Reina.. Y-you can believe me, I don’t.. ha..uh..”
“Sayu?”
She pulled her body from me and gasp once she looked at my condition
“Sayu? Sayu? What happens???!!! Why are you looks so pale???”
“It’s just asthma.. But this time, it’s pretty hurt, hehe..” I said to her a little laughing, didn’t want her to be panicked, while my eyes getting heavier.. It’s no good, I see 2, no, 3 Reina..
“Wait! Keep up Sayu! Please!” She cried as she looked at me worriedly.
“It’s.. it’s okay Re-Reina.. You don’t have to be panicked.. I’m okay..”
“No! you’re not! HELP!! Everyone help please!!!!!” She looks at the elevator’s door, obviously panicked.
“I.. I can’t breath well”
“Sa.. Sayu.. What can I do?” She cried, it’s my first time seeing her like that, she’s losing control, her face was pale, and her body shaking uncontrollably while holding me in her arms.
“I… I…” I closed my eyes once.
“SAYU! You can’t closed your eyes like that! Stay awake!” she practically screamed
“But I’m tired..” I felt dizzy as something flowing down from my nose
“You’re nosebleeding!” Now her tears start to drip and fell to my sweats
I just look at her, not have much energy to reply. But just by knowing that she’s still care about me, I felt very happy.
“Sa-sayu.. what can I do?” She cried uncontrollably
Just like a seconds, she wipe away my blood and kiss me.
Huh? Kiss me?
She blowing air at my mouth once, and I felt my lungs getting better
“Are you feeling any better?” she asked me concerned
I nodded a little
With that sign, she went to blowing air to my mouth again
I felt any better, but still I can’t keep my eyes open any longer, felt absolutely tired, it closed slowly..
“Sayu!!”
“Miss, what happened??” suddenly a male voice come out of nowhere.
Eh? Who’s that? G-god?
“Help her! Please!!”
“Someone call ambulance!” That male voice heared once again.
“Sayumi, hold on please.. Don’t leave me..” Reina cried to my ear.
That’s what I heard for the last time and everything went blank..
To be continued..
