Weird Behavior (YuriAnnin)
I was definitely going to kill this girl. She was so damn annoying. Really. She didn’t give a shit about me. She acted cold and serious all the time. I tried a few times to talk to her, but she only rejected me by ignoring me. ‘Hey, idiot! I’m just here, talking to you!’ I would have liked to yell it. Why? Why was it so important for me? I couldn’t really tell. I just wanted her to pay attention to me. I had no particular reason. It had been a few years we knew each other. She was already serious before, but we were kinda friends. But she suddenly became cold to me. And since that moment, I didn’t stop trying. Yeah, I should have given up. We were not friends anymore, I guess I couldn’t do that much about it. We both changed and… It was fucking nonsense. It was like overnight. I was decided to make her talk to me again.
I left my bed with so much energy than usual. I felt it will be a good day. It was what I thought until I reached school…
“Yuria-chan!” Someone yelled while I heard footsteps running to me.
I turned around, seeing the person I less expected in this world.
“A-Anna?” I let out in disbelief.
She was smiling like too much. She grabbed my arm, clinging to me. I felt the heat reaching my cheeks, unable to say another word.
“Let’s go!” She shouted, taking me to the school.
W-What was wrong with her? It didn’t suit her at all. Was she drunk or something?
We quickly reached the classroom. Well, Anna promptly dragged me to the classroom. I wanted to sit, but she stopped me, pulling me to sit next to her.
“After the class, let’s go out.” She smiled, still holding my arm.
I nodded slowly. It was definitely weird.
“Yuria? What the hell happened?” I could hear my friend’s voice whispering to me.
“I-I don’t know Rena. She suddenly became clingy.”
“Is something wrong Yuria-chan?”
I turned around and looked at Anna again. Rena puffed, hearing my nickname. Nobody called me like that.
“I-It’s okay.”

She was happily drinking her milkshake. I showed a slight smile. I felt strangely fine. I enjoyed this time together, but I knew something was wrong.
I stood up, putting my hand on her forehead. Her skin was hot and so smooth. Her eyes fell on me, stunned.
“Are you feeling sick?” I asked in a serious tone.
“W-What? N-No. I’m fine.” She answered, bewildered.
“Let’s go home.” I smiled softly.
She nodded and took my hand. I get used to it after this day together. I didn’t really know how I felt about it. We walked in silence to her house.
“Is it okay to go alone?” She asked, opening the door.
“I’ll be fine.” I answered while she looked at me, a smile on her lips.
I just wanted to go home. I didn’t want to see Anna anymore. I turned around and left without uttering a word.
It couldn’t be possible. Anna acted so strangely. It wasn’t her. Her forehead was so hot, she must have been sick. And it looked like it influenced her behaviour. Somehow, it hurt. She avoided me for a while, and now she just became so clingy. I liked Anna. But I liked to real one. I mean, I liked her as a friend.

“Guess who it is.” A familiar voice giggled while both hands hid my view.
“I don’t wanna play.” I snapped, turning around.
Anna quickly pouted, looking away from my eyes.
“Why are you doing this?”
She remained quiet, her cheeks coloured with a light pink colour.
“I’m waiting for an answer.”
“I-”
She closed her eyes, trying to find her balance. I quickly reached her. I grabbed her waist, and I felt a firm grip on my arm.
“You’re worrying me. You don’t look fine Anna.” I told her in a soft tone. “I’ll bring you home.”
She looked at me, releasing me slowly.
“But we should be on a date.” She mumbled, upset.
I didn’t answer and took her hands. I didn’t want to be on a date with her. I just wanted her to be well. She definitely wasn’t now.
We quickly reached her home. I made her rest on her bed. I didn’t leave her. I stayed sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her sleeping face. How beautiful she was. I removed the hair which fell on her face. It seemed that her skin was less hot.
“I’ll never understand you.” I whispered before finally standing up.
A firm hand stopped me. I sighed.
“You need to rest Anna.” I spoke without turning around.
I left.

I didn’t know if she will come to school today. Rena didn’t stop teasing me since the last time. I turned around, hearing the whispers of the students. It was Anna. She looked down, walking quickly. She cast a quick glance at me. Her cheeks suddenly flushed. My heart pounded hard in my chest. Did she become like before? She seemed embarrassed.
“What’s wrong with your dear friend?” Rena asked, looking at the sudden shy girl.
“I-I don’t know.” I muttered before quickly running after Anna.
She was slow enough for me to able to reach her. I grabbed her arm and dragged her to an empty class. She didn’t look at me, still staring at the floor.
“What the hell are you playing at?” I tried to not be too loud.
She remained quiet. I sighed, definitely annoyed by her behaviour. I sat on a seat and waited for her. I didn’t care, I had all the time I wanted.
“You’re playing with my nerves, Anna.” I snapped, looking through the window.
She was standing up next to the door. She didn’t move, she didn’t raise her head. I suddenly stood up, letting the chair fall. I reached her and put my hands on each side of her head against the wall.
“What happened?”
She released a shaking sigh before finally speaking.
“I’m sorry. You looked angry when you left yesterday.” Her tone sounded different. “I didn’t mean to upset you.” She raised her head, looking into my eyes.
She was the same as yesterday. It couldn’t be right. Something must have happened. It wasn’t Anna.
“It’s okay.” I snapped without moving.
We were so close. I could feel her breath against my mouth. I stared at her lips. I couldn’t do this. It wasn’t right. But she leaned toward me, slowly. Her lips brushed mine quickly before I stepped back.
“I…” I only could mutter while she avoided my gaze.
She closed her eyes. I wondered if she was crying until she almost fell, losing her balance.
“Are you okay?” I asked in a concerned tone.
“My head hurts.” She mumbled, her hands on my waist.
“I’ll take you home.”
We quickly left the school. I didn’t dare to talk for the walk. I was too worried about her current state anyway. I didn’t understand why she acted differently.
**
A light groaned pulled me out from my sleep. I quickly opened my eyes, trying to remember what happened. I was at Anna’s house, and I evidently fell asleep when she asked me to stay with her. I sighed, casting a look at the girl laying on the bed. She sat straight, slowly.
“W-What are you doing here?” She asked in a stunned tone.
“What? You don’t remember?”
“No. I don’t remember anything since I came back at home after school.”
I stared at her for a few seconds. Wait, did the cold Anna came back?
“When was that?”
“The 12th.”
“We’re the 15th.” I only answered, reading to leave her alone now that everything looked as before.
“What happened?” She put herself on the edge of the bed.
I released a weak sigh and finally sat next to her. I just needed to tell her.
“You became clingy. Like, you shouted my name and ran to me as we were friends forever. We went on a date, and I took you home.” I paused for a few seconds. “This morning you were suddenly quiet. I decided to talk to you, something was wrong. But you just apologised and…”
I couldn’t tell her. She wasn’t herself, after all, it didn’t mean anything.
“And what?” She snapped back, looking at me.
“It’s not important.” I stood up, but she grabbed my wrist.
I turned around, angry. She suddenly winced in pain. This girl worried me too much lately.
“We drank milkshakes.” She told me, locking her eyes with mine.
I nodded, waiting for her to speak.
“You yelled at me, didn’t you?”
She remembered a few parts of the last days. I didn’t really know if it was good or not. She could remember the kiss. Well, the almost kiss. It could be the mess if we start arguing about it.
“Yeah.”
“I’m sorry Yuria.” My heart started pounding hard in my chest. “I-I avoided you for the past weeks and then it happened. I don’t want to upset-”
“Shut up.” I snapped, making her release my wrist. “You did upset me. No, you’re upsetting me.” She stared at me, surprised. “You ignored me. Do you know how it hurt?” I raised my voice, and I could feel the tears coming to my eyes. “You don’t, right? Because it never happened to you.”
“Yuria I-”
“You don’t need to apologise. I understood. I’ll let you alone.” I stepped back, the tears rolling along my cheeks. “I don’t want you to play with my feelings anymore.”
We both were suddenly quiet. I just admitted I had feelings for her. The words just came out without I had control on them.
“I didn’t want to kiss you Yuria.”
“I know…” I painfully admitted.
“It’s not-”
“I don’t want to hear you anymore.” It was my last words before I left her, sobbing.
What the hell was that? Me being in love? It wasn’t true. Not with her. She was always so cold to me. Even with this, I still tried to talk to her. Maybe it was a kind of sign. I felt so stupid and upset at the same time.
“Yuria!” I heard my name being called, but it seemed blurry, like a dream.
I didn’t pay more attention to it. I continued walking, wiping the tears on my cheeks. I felt a firm grip on my shoulder. I didn’t care. I didn’t want to talk to anyone. I looked at the ground until I felt something warm wrapping my shoulder.
“Please, listen to me.” I quickly recognised Anna’s voice.
I didn’t mutter a word and only hugged back, burying my face in her neck. She stroked my hair, slowly.
“Don’t apologise. I… I understand. I’m just sorry for having these feelings.” I broke the hug before mumbling these words.
Anna was smiling. It looked hurt, but she showed me a smile. She let her hands on my waist, keeping our body close.
“I didn’t mean to upset you-”
“I told you to not-”
“Shut your mouth and let me talk.” She snapped without moving. “I kissed you because I love you Yuria. That’s also why I avoided you before. It hurt too much.”
I remained stunned by her sudden confession. Now the words didn’t want to come out anymore. She didn’t hate me, she never hated me. On the contrary, she tried to hide her feelings. I suddenly felt guilty. She must have suffered.
“Anna I…” I managed to tell, cupping her cheek gently. “I love you.”
She smiled and leaned to me. I felt her mouth against mine. I enjoyed playing with her soft lips for a few seconds. It was her. The real Anna. I couldn’t really believe what just happened. We parted away to catch some air. Anna was still close to me, her chin on my shoulder. I could hear her light breath. My hand stroked her back.
“Is it okay to kiss me?” I teased her, starting to realise what happened.
“Now it’s okay.” She mumbled, giving me a light squeeze.
It was okay because we both knew what was going on. She stepped back, her cheeks flushed.
“Why did you act so strange?” I finally asked, a bit clumsily.
“W-Well, I’m not really sure, but I have an idea.” She answered, her eyes looking away from me. “This.” She pulled out a vial of pills.
“Wait, what is it?”
“It’s pills to reduce the stress.” She admitted while my look was on it. “I took it for the first time when… my mind was still clear.” She pouted a bit.
I let out a chuckle, taking the vial from her hands.
“Don’t take it anymore. You’d rather be you nervous than clingy.” I quickly kissed her lips.
“You’re right. Do we should go to school?”
Well, I said I was going to take care of her as she was sick. She wasn’t weird anymore, but I wanted to stay with her.
“Let’s enjoy a day together.”
She immediately smiled back at my answer. She took my hand, and we went back to her house.
“What about a date?”
“Wanna taste milkshakes again?” I stuck my tongue, releasing her hand.
She blushed, and a slight smile cracked on her lips. I expected her to answer, but she reached me, giving me a passionate kiss.
“Let’s go.” She suddenly broke the kiss and let me stunned.
“That was not fair.” I mumbled, but she dragged me outside again.
“Nothing’s fair.”
It was now my turn to blush. How cute Anna was. I liked her so much.
“I love you.” I felt a light squeeze around my hand.
“I love you too.” She slowly leaned to kiss my lips.
Finally, I didn’t like her previous and weird behaviour. This Anna was perfect.
The End.
