Makima pov
Makima stormed away from Gabi and went to open the veil by herself to go to the manager.
" Makima, are you guys finished with the task?" the older fellow asked the red-haired girl.
" I did my part and killed the curses, the rest is up to them. I'm going home." The young girl had a nasty attitude toward the gentleman.
" But you can't leave with…"
" I'm catching a cab, don't worry about me. " She cut off the man before he even had the chance to speak and walked away from him to go to the main road.
( That white-haired idiot, why did I have to meet him? Wait, no scratch that why did I even listen to that woman? Ever since I talked to that woman she made me realize this stupid feeling for Gabimaru. Once I see her again she will definitely hear from me. I can never forget her face, her red eyes her long black hair, and how she wore that black kimono. I should have ignored her at the fruit stand.)
Makima sucked her teeth thinking about the flashback with that mystery women
Flashback to one week ago
Since Makima was ignoring Gabi she woke up earlier to make sure she didn't run into him during his morning training and this time she would train outside the school grounds. When she was finished she went into a fruit stand to get more fruits since she was running low on them. Makima treats her body as if it were a temple. She always makes sure whatever she consumes is good for her health since she was raised that way. As she was going through the berries section an older beautiful lady bumped into her causing the younger girl to drop the berries on the ground.
( Tsk, can people watch where they are going?)
Makima sucked her teeth ready to glare at the person and once they met eyes Makima felt like her brain stopped working. Makima was still and didn't budge a muscle staring at the woman.
( What's happening to me? why can't I snap on her? )
The woman was so irresistible to not look at everyone around them who were slowly moving slow trying to get a glimpse of this woman and Makima was right in front of her eyes.
The woman slightly giggled at Makima, "Wow, such a young girl with so much anger in her." the woman spoke with charm, and her charismatic personality made all of Makima's irritation go away, "I barely see young people this early. What brings you here?" She asks the red-haired girl.
Suddenly once the woman asked Makima a question she was able to work her body system correctly. Makima was blinking at first to proceed with what to say, " Fruits. I'm here to buy fruits obviously since it's a fruit stand, '' Makima was back at her bad attitude she usually has towards everyone.
The woman batted her eyes, "My, my, it seems like someone is sassy in the morning. What happened, your boyfriend dumped you?" the woman began mocking Makima.
Makima's eyes twitch hearing the older woman trying to get under her skin, " No. I don't have one and I surely don't want one." Makima said with uncertainty in her voice.
The woman lowered her head to get close to Makima's eyes and it was a showdown between the two females. The red eyes vs the red and yellow swirly eyes.
" Someone who has this much beauty must have an admirer and I was once young too. I can sense when someone likes someone. Who is it? I have time to listen to other girls' problems. We are all females after all and we must look out for each other," The woman's gaze was intense but so was the red-haired girl just as intense and powerful as the older woman's.
" Like I said before I don't have one nor want one."
"You a tough cookie girl." The woman chuckled as her cheeks turned red, " But even a tough cookie has feelings," The woman backed away and grabbed some blueberries that were behind Makima and placed them in her basket, "Word of advice, just go for it. It's written all over your face screaming you have a crush on someone. You're only getting older, what can happen? Live with no regrets." The woman left Makima by the stand in her thoughts.
( what's with that woman? What does she mean I have a crush? )
Makima started to tap her foot uncontrollably thinking if what that woman said was true.
( I don't like Gabimaru. Wait? She never mentioned a name. Why did I suddenly think of him? Tsk, I swear those Gojo twins are the reason why my life is like this. I have to bring my clan back into the top 3 of the great sorcerer's clans and the other one is constantly invading my thoughts and messing up with my mind.)
Makima wasn't in the mood to shop anymore so she left it there to go back into her dorms.
****
After that conversation with that one woman, she finally realizes her feelings. That one conversation caused her world to turn upside down. Makima was determined to avoid that boy but it was hard because no matter where she went he showed up, she felt like he had a tracker on her. When Gabi approached her she would walk away or when he greeted her she would never reply anything back. She gave him the ultimate cold shoulder because she couldn't fall for it no matter how much she wished she could. Falling in love would ruin everything she worked for, that feeling of liking someone to fall in love could never happen to a person like Makima she has to stay superior to any human to work her technique and that's to control anyone whom she seems fit to be her puppet. Now how can a puppeteer pull anyone's strings if someone is pulling her strings? That is just absurd. Although she knew the risk of admitting her feelings she kept it locked within her but it was impossible to keep it locked. To see someone who you grew to admire be with someone else, laugh with them, smile at them, and always spend quality time with them can cause jealousy to even a person like Makima.
The red-haired girl highly dislikes the fact that Gabimaru is with Shoko and the scene when Shoko is on top of Gabi constantly replays in her mind wondering if whatever he said was the actual truth. Without anyone knowing she would lay on her bed as she listened to their conversation together despite the fact she never heard anything insane coming from them she still wished it was her with him instead of Shoko. The cold aura she shows to everyone is nothing but a mask underneath that cold aura is just a lost little girl who wants comfort from someone and that person is Gabi. Somehow the white hair freak broke her walls but only for him.
[ the recent bleach episodes had me in tears. Although I already read the manga a while back it still hurts ]
