Chapter 9

Lumi's POV

And ever since that day even after the event happened... she's been totally different. I don't even know what to feel after that.

"Good Morning!" she greeted with a smile

"Good morning" I greeted back as we started making our way to school.

There she is... doing things she doesn't usually do... even greeting me each morning and before sleeping, Taking me to school and waiting for me when school ends.

"Why look like a dying fox... You should smile, it suits you better" she said looking at me smiling lightly... Yeah she's kinda sweet but it's too sweet for my health...

"What? no response? shouldn't you be happy 'cause I'm so sweet?" Somebody wipe that smug face please. I can take her sweetness but she always finds a way to be so smug and annoy me everytime she can.

"Yeah right you're sweet. And I don't like sweets Riu... I don't plan on having a tooth ache" I said not answering her remarks properly but she just laughed.

So this monster can laugh... should I be shock?

"Why so sarcastic foxy... you won't get a tooth ache unless you bite me" she said with a serious face but there's a smirk slowly appearing on her face. Fck?!

O_O

I don't know what she meant by that but dmn! I can feel my face heat up.

"You said you don't like sweets? hah... soon you'll take that back 'cause I'll be the first sweet you'll crave and get addicted" Just where does she get that confidence.

And what's with her being sweet then annoy me next moment and that goes on repeat. What a hot and cold person... I just can't understand her.

"Don't think of me too much Foxy or you might fa--"

I couldn't hear what she said next and my mind just went back to reality and realized what was happening.

Why is my mind floating somewhere again that I couldn't see a rock. Dmn! I can feel myself falling (T_T) Why do epic shts always happen to me when she's near. I waited for the impact to hit me but I never felt it.

Instead I felt a small hand hold me on my waist supporting me so I wouldn't completely fall on the ground.

"What? are you falling for me already?" she said with a smug. Someone wipe that smug face from her.

"Whatever... How long do you plan on staying in this position?"

How can she even bare my weight with her petite body? As much as I don't want to admit it I know I'm heavy.

"Uhm until I'm satisfied getting a good look on your face?" She said while smiling. That might look innocent for her but that's what making her face looks so annoying for me. How can she even say that with that face? that's cheating!

I pushed her enough to let me go and I walked passed her. I swear I can feel my face turning red.

"Such a flirty woman"

"I'm not! I'm only like this towards you so be grateful" She said as she caught up to me already.

"Is that so? then thanks I guess" I mumbled but surely she heard since I can see that silly smile on her face.

If you're not trying to flirt then you must be a natural flirt. Argh! just thinking about it annoys me.

Getting inside the campus, Riu stopped walking and faced me.

"We should part here... I need to take care of some things. I'll wait for this afternoon" She said smiling lightly before waving her hand and walking on a different direction. I haven't even said anything I just watched her and I started walking as well.

Wait---Isn't her classroom just next to mine? She's not walking up to my room?? What is she going to do? Was it that important?

What the heck? Dmn! Why am I even acting like this? Why am I acting like I'm disappointed? sure I'm not....Maybe I'm just shocked...

Yeah I'm just shocked with the sudden change... Uugh! Whatever! The hell I care if she's walking me up to my room.

I was arguing with myself when I felt my phone vibrate and a message from Riu appeared.

~Don't be disappointed Foxy, you'll see me this afternoon anyway... don't think of me too much. You might end up getting crazy before I get to marry you~

And that's what it say. How can she even say that.... I'm not disappointed! And why is she soooooo over confident when it comes to this towards me. This midget must be a one heck of a cassanova in your previous life..

~Who says that I'm marrying you idiot? Dream on!~

I replied and I placed my phone back on my pocket as I entered our classroom.

'Why do you even think that I'm thinking about you? This Monster's the one who's crazy!'

-----

Lectures, Quizzes, Assignments and Lectures again. Time just sure pass by so quickly... it's already the end of the day without me noticing it.

"Hey... are you in a hurry?" I heard Jess asked as she stopped by on my desk.

"uhm no..?" I answered as I put my things inside my bag.

"yeah right you're not... you can't even fix your things like you usually do" she said before leaving.

I looked at my bag after she said that and it was a mess. Why... am I hurrying unconsciously? I Don't know if she said that to annoy me or not but I'm thankful that she pointed that out.

I decided to take my things out to fix it and arrange it like I usually do. As soon as I finished I wore my bag and head out. I was on the hallway when I heard some familiar voices near the stairs. As I continued walking I saw Maxie and Riu talking and laughing. I can't help but raise my eyebrow.

Since when did they get so close?

For some reasons I felt annoyed. But I went near them anyway.

Though as soon as I got to them. Her smile faded as she looked at my direction. So it's like that... you can laugh and smile to Maxie then just frown at me? Now I feel really annoyed. What's her deal anyway.

I was about to just leave her here and go home alone when I felt her grab me and pull me close to her.

I looked at them with confusion but as I looked at Riu's face I noticed that her attention wasn't on me at all.

More like she's so focused looking... behind me?

So I turned to look... and there I saw Rika and her best friend, Yuri, passing by.

Wait---she knew? since when?

A few seconds after the passed by... Riu's still looking at their figure as it fades. She let go of my hand already but went near me even closer as if... she's acting possessive? I don't know but the way she acted was kinda cute.

Maxie looking at us can't help but shake her head. "Chill Riu" She said as she laugh.

Riu's now pouting and seem like she's deep in thought.

Maxie, not waiting for an answer coming from Riu, turned her back at us. "You're both hopeless... Oh well I'll leave you two alone and go first... bye~" she said waving as she left.

Riu then picked her bag from the ground and we started walking.

"So you knew" I said, almost inaudible.

"Of course" she said... " I know a lot of things more than what you think" She seriously added but smiled in the end. I couldn't even get it but her smile doesn't feel real at all.

"If you're hurting just stop pursuing me"

I said that but It felt heavy. I even felt like there's something on my throat.

"Who said I'm hurting? If you think I am then you're mistaken foxy" She said as she smiled again.

*Sigh*

Is she telling the truth or am I really hurting her? Well it's not like I told her to pursue me.

"So you're not gonna stop? Just so you know a lot of people told me they're not stopping or giving up but they all end up with someone else" --- and I don't know why I told her that. Was I hoping for something? nahh

"Don't treat me like I'm the same as them, I can assure you that I am different. And there's no way I'm hurting and I don't plan on stopping either.

Even if pursuing you might not be easy, even if it's risky and I might end up hurting or even if this could be my biggest mistake... I don't care...

'Cause even if you tell me to stop and that pursuing you is a crime. I still do it and I'll gladly give you my hand and say..

~Arrest me your honor, 'cause I'm guilty as hell~" She said while looking at me making sure that I knew that she's sincere before she sweetly smile.

I'm speechless. I couldn't even say anything back to her. I just felt her hand hold my wrist as we walk.

Fck! I knew it! she's to sweet for my own good!!! I'd even be lying if I say that... what she said didn't make me happy at all.

"You can smile... no need to hold it back... Just admit it... that I can make the butterflies on your stomach go wild"

The situation and atmosphere is good already why does she have to ruin it everytime...

'such a jerk'

Whatever I can't help it anyway. This girl is just unbelievable. Making me smile if she wants. Honestly it's not just me but almost everyone around her. What a happy virus... it's making me want to just keep her so I can have her for myself... wait--- what the eff am I saying??! I must be losing my mind! Noooooo!!!!

Waaaaaaah!!! >_

Save meeee!!!!
