--------------------------
The FlirtI was walking on the corridors as people, particularly guys, kept looking at me. In times like this, I want to ask them what their problem is…but, I already know.
“The flirt is here.” One whispered loudly for me to hear.
“I wonder if she’ll flirt with my girlfriend again today.” Another one whispered on my left.
I’m trying hard to ignore them.
So what if I was flirting with her girlfriend? As if I’ll get her from him. I nudged my bag up on my shoulders, as I entered the classroom sighing. The room is noisy as usual. The girls kept on sharing useless rumors, sharing their love lives, putting on make-up and some are just talking with their friends. I hate noisy places, but this room is different. I feel safe whenever I’m in here. I placed my bag on the hook of my desk before throwing myself on the chair. My boots hit the top of my desk, as I fold my arms and staring out the window, losing myself on my thoughts. I don’t wear the girl’s uniform because I hate it. Instead, the principal agreed for me to use the boy’s uniform.
Maybe having a father as the principal in your school has some advantage to it.The door slides open, the school basketball teams vice captain came in, stomping his way towards me.
Him again…“Yamada!” He exclaimed, trying to get my attention.
“What?” I asked, glaring at him.
“Don’t you dare flirt with her! I’m warning you.” He threatened, but it didn’t hit me in anyway. I wasn’t afraid of him.
I can feel all eyes were on us. He’s making a scene again. Ever since the rumor of me, liking the girl he likes came out, he kept on coming every now and then. Threatening me not to flirt with her.
“What are you? Her boyfriend?” I answered, letting out a smirk.
He was silent. I guess I hit a nerve. I kept my smirk, as I can see him trembling and balling his fists. To tell the truth, I don’t like that girl. She’s way too tall for me, and she’s just so unattractive. I just flirted with her to get me out of trouble a couple of times. My friends often tell me that I flirt just to get what I want. Well, my friends were right. I’m flirting just to get me out of trouble or to get what I want. Now I see myself as a player.
Oh well…“Just don’t flirt with her!” He yelled once again, before storming out of the room. I rolled my eyes, going back to where I was staring before.
Now, thinking about it.
I have flirted with every girl in this school, except for…The door opened, revealing the two most popular girls in school.
Reina and Aika… I whispered as I locked my gaze at them, laughing their way to their seats. Reina’s seat is on the same row as mine, while Aika’s was behind hers.
I have flirted with everyone, except her… I stared at the girl Reina was talking to.
Aika Mistui…I felt my heart change its pace as she bent down, I gulped, trying to stop myself from looking.
I can’t! I kept on staring at her, even if knowing that it’s bad to stare.
Why is it every time I see her, my heart changes its pace? Why do I keep trying to be a good girl when she is around? Why can’t I get myself to flirt with her?I kept asking these questions inside my head, but only one answer kept coming out.
You love her damn it! Fine! I do! So what? She won’t love a flirt! I answered back. I admit. I love her, but I can’t get myself to tell. It’s because, I was afraid. I’m afraid that she’ll reject me.
For crying out loud Rei! For all the things you could be afraid of, you get yourself scared by only that girl!I was still staring at her, when she looked at me. Our eyes met, I didn’t know what to do. She gave out a smile as I could feel my heart beat faster. I was about to smile when I realized I couldn’t. I rolled my eyes instead and went back to looking out the window.
Rei! You’re pathetic! You should have at least smiled for once! I sighed while trying to make myself comfortable in my seat again. I wanted to, but I just can’t.
***Lunch Break***I wonder what she is doing… “Aika!” I jumped out of the chair, surprised by the sudden call of my name.
“Aika. I’m sorry, but you weren’t listening again.” Reina explained, helping me to sit down again.
“I’m sorry… I was just thinking of something.” I answered, trying to hide the slight blush.
She looked at me, with those teasing eyes, as she let out a smirk,
“You’re thinking about her again, right?” The slight blush worsened, I was all red. I shook my head before hitting Reina.
“No!” I answered, before fixing my gaze on the food in front of me.
I heard her sigh as she hooked her arm around my neck,
“Look. Don’t dream on that flirt. You’ll just get hurt.”“I don’t like her. She just amuses me.” I answered timidly, while playing with the left over sauce on my bowl.
She pulled me close, hugging me from the side,
“But did you know? You are the only one she hasn’t flirted yet.” I looked at her confused.
I’m the only one she hasn’t flirted with?“Me? But I thought you haven’t yet?” I asked, as she held the back of her neck,
“I haven’t…”“Then, why do you say I’m the only one she hadn’t flirted with?” I was getting confused, why did Reina say that I’m the only one, when she just said she hasn’t also.
“I was the one who flirted with her.” She answered, giving out a forced laugh, before tapping my back.
I glared at her as she started to laugh on my expression.
Why would she flirt with her? She knows I’m feeling something for Rei. I just can’t figure out what it is… I need air.[/B]
I left Reina in the room, still laughing at me while I went straight to the rooftop. I opened the door, and stepped out, letting out a loud sigh.
“Why am I the only one she hasn’t flirted with?” I complained, shouting each word out.
“Because she couldn’t.” I froze, realizing who’s voice just answered me. I slowly looked back, seeing Rei kicking the door to a close.
***“Because she couldn’t.” I answered, kicking the door to a close, I don’t want anyone seeing me talking with her. I turned to her, seeing her scared face. I walked closer, my footsteps echoing, as my boots hit the floor. I kept walking closer as she stepped backward every time. She reached the end the wall, leaning on it as I get closer. I stopped as I was so close, her uniform, already touching mine. I can see her trembling, as I stare at her face.
“W-why?” She asked, turning her face away. I tried not to run away, as I did once in the comfort room and another one at the classroom during after school cleaning.
I leaned closer to her ear, as I whispered the lame reason I could think of,
“Cause she thinks you’re special. So she doesn’t want to touch you.” I answered, as I was running around screaming in my head.
She turned her head, making her lips touch mine accidentally. I froze. I wish this won’t end, but it did when she looked away. I stared at her, seeing her cheeks grew red. I loved this situation, but it surprised me she didn’t push me and run away when our lips touched.
This is the time! Tell her Rei! Now!“Why do you say I’m special?” She asked, as she played with the end of her blouse.
Say it now!“Cause…” I gently held her chin, tilting it up, as her eyes met mine,
“I love you, Aika.” I leaned in, closing the gap between us. My hands explored her body, her curves, as we kept kissing. I wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her closer, as her arms wrapped around my neck.
I didn’t expect this to happen. I’m sharing my feelings with the one I thought wouldn’t be mine. We stopped, breathing heavily as we start to catch some air. I kissed her forehead then pulled her close.
I guess I should just pretend this didn’t happen.
Wait…why? I kissed her head, before answering my own question.
We aren’t meant for each other…She looked at me as the bell rang. Lunch is finished, and class will start soon. I let out a small smile, before letting her go. I started to walk back to the door, not waiting for her to follow.
I guess, that’s it. I told myself, opening the door. I felt a grip on my hand as I was about to step inside. I looked back, seeing Aika looking at me with a worried face.
“What?” I asked, trying to bring back my Yankee style of talking.
“Is that it?” She asked back. I can’t stand that look.
Please, just go back to your happy, carefree look…I nodded before trying to walk away, but she tugged my hand, not wanting me to go. I stopped, looking at her again.
“I’m a flirt Aika. You’re one of the popular girls in school. We don’t belong to the same kind.” I looked down, as I gulped, before looking back at her,
“We aren’t meant for each other.”With that, she let go of my hand, as I went back to class. It seems the teacher isn’t here, but it’s self-study time. I sighed, before throwing myself again on my seat, placing my feet on top of my desk. I found myself staring at the front, lost on my thoughts again, as I remember Aika’s touch, her scent, her taste, her lips. Those lips. I want to taste them once more, but I know I won’t anymore. I scanned the room, Aika hasn’t arrived yet, and Reina was getting worried. She was staring at the door for sometime now, not doing the activity on the board. I rolled my eyes and went back looking at the front, reading the activity we need to finish for this class.
I’ll do that later. We’ll be passing that tomorrow anyway. I said to myself, folding my arms again, getting ready to take a nap. I heard the door open and I guess it was Aika who came in, since Reina started to squeal.
“Aika, I was so worried, where did you go?” Reina asked, following Aika towards where she was headed. Aika kept quiet,
“Aika, where are you going? You passed your seat a while ago.”I tried not to look wherever she was headed. I just looked at my boots, seeing some dust on a part of it
. I’ll clean that later. I told myself, as Aika stopped beside my desk.
What now?I looked her way, but was surprised as I felt her lips on mine. As I was caught off guard, my eyes were open, and I can see Reina and the others staring at us. She backed away slightly, looking at my eyes,
“Who said we are not meant for each other?” I didn’t know what to answer, the display she just did shocked me more than the others.
“The important thing is…we love each other” I gulped, trying to get all of this in my head. I can’t keep up,
“I love you Rei Yamada.” She ended the issue, as she leaned in once more, locking her lips unto mine, as I kissed her back.
She’s right…I pulled her close, kissing her deeper as she kissed back once more. Applause came coming after, as we stopped and looked around.
I guess everyone agrees with her too.
