Love Diary – chapter 2

(Kawashima Umika’s point of view)

Knock knock knock!

“Umika, until when are you planning to stay in bed!? You will be late for school!”

I heard my mother shouted from outside the room but instead of answering her, I pulled the blanket over my head and pretended that I didn’t hear a thing. I didn’t want to go to school! Especially after what happened on the day before… I closed my eyes tightly and hugged both my knees under the blanket. I didn’t even want to remember the unfortunate incident! It was not just a nightmare! It happened! It really happened in reality!

#flashback#

My heart practically stopped functioning for a second when those words came out of his mouth.

“You’re disgusting” he said it directly to my face. I was shocked! I was petrified. I didn’t know what he meant by that but it could only mean one thing. He had opened the book. He had read what was in there. My life is over… I thought.

I didn’t know what to say as tears started to accumulate in my eyes. I never expect this. I have always wanted to talk to him again, to be in the middle of his attention but I never expect that it would happen in such an embarrassing way. And it really was painful hearing the words coming out from the mouth of the boy I was so in love with. Right now, all I wanted to do was take the book and run away AND never to appear in front of him again! I would forget about him and he would forget about me.

That was what I thought.

However, when I tried to snatch the book away from him and get it over with, in a flash he put the book into his bag and zipped it up in there. I looked at him disbelievingly. Why?

“This is surely going to be interesting” his cold voice echoed throughout the empty classroom. For a second there, I saw an expression on his face that he had never shown before. A smirk was clearly visible.

…and he left me alone there, standing like a stone as if had been cursed by the legendary curse of Medusa.

#End of Flashback#

Argh!! I so wish I could just disappear from this world and never come back again! But that wish would never come true when mother splashed me with a bucket of water right in my bed. I didn’t know how and when she managed to enter the room but I didn’t have to think of an answer as I screamed because of the cold.

Seriously, mother…

So in the end, I was left with no choice but to come to school. My legs felt so heavy that I had to drag them forcefully as I headed to my classroom. Maybe I was just being sensitive than usual or maybe it was really what was happening; I felt that every eyes were on me as I walked through the hallway. I couldn’t look up. I just couldn’t…

When I arrived at the door of my classroom, I spent quite some time standing there before I finally reached out for the door knob; twisted it and pushed open the door. With my head low, I stepped into the class. I was expecting that my arrival would be greeted by my classmates laughing hysterically at me because my secret was revealed by either Fuka or…

Chinen Yuri.

But, it didn’t go as I expected. No one in the classroom even paid any attention on me as I walked to my seat. They were busy with their own stuffs as how it usually was. Sitting on my seat, I eyed everyone from the corner of my eyes. Didn’t they see me walking into the classroom? I asked myself. It was weird. It was as if everyone have forgotten about what happened the day before or maybe they have completely lost interest on the book. But wait, didn’t Fuka already spread my secret all around the school… or did she not? I asked myself again but obviously I received no answer.

When I was panicking over the unexpected situation I was in, the person I always wish to just disappear from my life suddenly appeared at the door of the classroom. Yes, you guessed it right.

Fuka; and her two loyal followers.

As I already expected, she went straight at me with that usual evil smile on her face.

“Oh, Kawashima, I can’t believe you still have the face to show up in this school” she said to me. Her two followers each acted a fake gasp and looked at each other before they laughed loudly.

Oh crap… I knew I shouldn’t have come.

Fuka leaned her face nearer to me and stared at me right into my eyes. I couldn’t help it but to shiver. Those eyes… I was scared. Fuka smirked, “I think it’s about time for everyone to know”

Then she straightened her body and swiftly turned her back to me. She clapped her hands twice and just with that she managed to grab away all of my other classmates’ attention. They stopped what they were doing and all eyes were looking our way now.

I couldn’t do anything but stayed on my seat, hands clutching tightly on my skirt. Eyes locked on the desk in front of me. I did have the urge to fight back by grabbing on her hair and pull it hard till she falls to the floor, crying and begging me to let her go… but you know it was definitely impossible for a coward girl like me. I was so helpless. I didn’t even know the reason for me to be born in this world. I couldn’t do anything! Anything!

Fuka walked on her heels and went to the centre of the room. As what she wished, everyone was paying full attention on her; waiting for my SECRET to be revealed. The same curiosity as the day before can be seen on their faces.

“Listen, everyone. I have a super amazing story to share over here. I hope everyone can relax a bit, clear your mind and get ready for a big laugh later” Fuka started as she locked her eyes on me. As expected everyone cheered and clapped.

FINE!

If Fuka is really going to say it in front of all this people, then I shouldn’t be here! I said to myself and with that set in my mind, I stood up from my seat; awkwardly. As if she could read my mind, Fuka let out a light laugh. “Oh, are you thinking of running away now, my dear Kawashima-chan?” she said, mockingly.

I gathered all my guts and walked toward her; step by step, slowly. She looked at me with a confused expression. “Now what? Are you gonna pull my hair or what?”

I wished I could do that! But I stopped a meter away from her and lowered down my head. I started crying. SHIT! Seeing my tears, Fuka laughed madly like a witch and soon after that the classroom was filled with laughter. Of course I was the center of the laughter.

If only I could have a wish granted at that time, the only thing I would wish for was to be deleted from this world as well as from everyone’s memories.

When I couldn’t hold it anymore, with all my energy left, I ran toward the door. I was looking down all the time as I ran to the door but I could see a figure of someone standing there. However I just didn’t care anymore. All I had in my head was just to run away from this ‘hell’.

As I was about to step out of the door, the person standing there suddenly grabbed a hold of my wrist causing me to stop running right away. My eyes widened as I realized who it was.

“C-Chinen-kun…”

He didn’t say anything but instead he pulled me back into the classroom by my wrist. Everyone went quiet at once as Chinen-kun stood behind the teacher’s desk and stared at everyone. He let go of my wrist and let me stood there behind him awkwardly. I was still shocked by his sudden appearance. Surely, a lot of unexpected events happened today.

“Are you done, Miss Hoshino Fuka?” he said to Fuka in a tone that could easily make anyone shivers to death.

Sato and Mayu froze as Fuka stuttered, “C-Chinen kun… I…I… I was just…”

“Just what?” again, Chinen questioned her with that scary tone.

The classroom was all silence until Fuka gained back her confidence and curved an evil smile as she looked at me. I think she remembered about the book. “Chinen-kun, it is great that you are here now. Actually that thing I am going to talk about is… very closely related to you. In fact, you are the lead character”

I gulped at that. Fuka is indeed an evil witch! I hate her! I hate her! I wanted to scream that out but I had no time for that. Looking at Chinen’s back, I waited for his response to what Fuka had just said but he didn’t say anything. Instead, he watched as Fuka moved towards him arrogantly as she smirked at me.

“I know you are interested as well, Chinen-kun” she started as she was now standing right in front of Chinen. She looked at me and smiled sweetly, “That girl…she is actually…”

Fuka was about to reveal my secret when Chinen suddenly cut in in the middle of her sentence. “My woman”

My woman? Did he just say that?

The whole class gasped at that. I wasn’t sure if I heard that right but the reaction of everyone showed that it seemed like I heard it correctly. But I had no idea what he meant by that.

“W-what what do you mean by that, Chinen-kun?”

There. Fuka asked the question I wanted to ask. I was curious with the answer as well.

Chinen, instead of straight away giving an answer to the question, he walked to the middle of the classroom and looked at everyone. His expression was really hard to read. He kept looking around until his eyes settled on me. I froze.

“I will make sure that those who lay even a finger on her with a negative intention, to right away drop out from this school”

His stare was so intense that I looked away at once. My heart was thumping like crazy inside me. My head was all messed up! I didn’t know what to think or what to do.

“Kawashima Umika. My woman.”

Hearing that, everyone’s eyes widened. Including me, of course.

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HAPPENING!?
