Sa dalawa kong best friends… may napapansin akong sa mga mata nila kapag nagtitinginan o nagsusulyapan. Happiness, joy, and love. Ako? Ginawa kong tulay ang sarili ko para sa kanila . ©blueberrypie14

Oh.. hello and yes, I know you :)) Thanks :))

The next third day was the worst. The whole night she couldn’t sleep and now — she had eyebags. Riho was sure someone in school (even one who she doesn’t know) would spread rumors of her eyebags and the (fake) reason behind this.

So now, the bell rang at exactly 3:00 P.M. and a boy came inside the classroom, panting. 

“Our tutoring session will start today. Let’s go.” Riho sighed deeply and sat down.

“Why? Don’t you realize that at 7:00 A.M. our classes starts then ends at 3 P.M. ?!” Glaring at him, she continued, “Are you dumb?!” 

Widening his eyes, he retorted back, “Is it me having problems in her grades?! Is it me who was making fun of someone who didn’t even have a reason for making me hate her?! Is it me?!” Slamming the door open, he supplied, “Let’s meet outside the school gate. Don’t be late, even a second.” 

She whined and shouted in her mind, ‘Why?!!!’ 

After a few seconds, she was running into the school gate and found him leaning at one of the walls. 

~At Mizusawa Household~

They arrived at his house and her mouth gaped wide. 

“What’s with your house?! Why is it even bigger than mine?!!” 

WHACK!

“And what’s with your head? Of course we’re rich.” Riho snorted in her mind, What a spoiled brat he is! If he’s my son, I’m going to whack his boastful off his neck!

At the gate, a maid bowed, “Okaerinasai Ichiro-sama (It means, Welcome back home, Sir.)” she said, leading her hands to give them way, “Please come in.”

“Thank you.” He bowed back and she does, too. And they were in the living room with chandeliers flowing light across the room. Her face was in awe and —

WHACK!

“Stop staring, idiot! And don’t open your mouth too big. Mosquitoes might live and die in there!” He yelled loudly.

“What?! What do you mean mosquitoes, huh?! And what do you mean, DIE?! Or do you want to die instead?!” The two were yelling so loud that Ichiro’s mother came into the scene and stood elegantly in front of them, looking like a queen from another kingdom. 

“Stop it, you two! Especially you, Torihaya-san! You may be the one my son agreed to tutor with, but you have no right to shout at him like that! Respect!” 

Riho shuts her mouth immediately and looked down on her feet. “Yes, Ma’am.”

Ichiro’s mom nodded, “Very well now. Then now, start your tutoring session and you will go home at exactly five! No wandering here! And no chatting or hanging out with my son! I don’t want to see you two getting all laughing and chatty together when the days come by! Understand!” The two nodded and hurried upstairs.

They ran up to his room and he locks the door. “Why did you lock it? Your mother may become even more suspicious of us!!” She whispered a little loudly for him to hear. He unlocked it and sighed. 

They sat down in two deck chairs and began to study…

After 1 hour and 30 minutes, she leaned on the chair and closed her eyes. “This is sooo~ difficult!! What’s with your intelligent minds that can take all of his math equations?!” Rolling his eyes, he answered back. 

“Ooohh~ How ironic! What’s with your dumb head that can take this easy equations to be ANSWERED?!” He answered sarcastically and yelled out the last word and slumped on the deck chair.

Glaring back at him, he stared at the boy who has his closed eyes. 

“Hey,” Ichiro opened his eyes nodded for her to continue, “Sorry for bothering you for tutoring me. And sorry for.. the prank. I really appreciate for your… kindness.” She said calmly. Arching his eyebrows up, he asked. 

“What’s with you? Persuading me to not force you to study?” Grinning, he ignored the whack on his shoulder. Riho stood up and sighed. 

“You’re more annoying than I thought! Moreover, I’m going. Thanks… Ichiro.” Ichiro stared at her who was outside already, so he snapped his thoughts out and lead her way outside. 

“Bye…” He waved back and looked at the retreating figure. Smiling, he shook his head and chuckled. 

Maybe… she’s not what mother thinks about her. Maybe I should talk to her more. 

“What are you chuckling at?” His mother stood ferociously in front of him. Or maybe not. 

“A-Ah nothing, Okaa-san! I’ll be going upstairs now.” 

Hi Coleen!!!!!!! OMG! Another chapter! :D How is it? Is it confusing? :/

At the second day since she got her revenge for him, she still was clutching her head and thinking of what she would do. So, today, at the end of class she banged her head and didn’t bother to stand up when it’s already the end of class. 

BANG! A door was suddenly opened with force and she jolted her head up with widening eyes. It’s a relief that all students were not in here, too. 

A woman in an office uniform asked her with fiery eyes, “Are you Torihaya Riho-san?” (San- it’s used to refer respect to other people.)

“A-Ah yes.” She said, her heart beating fast. 

“Come with me at Kyoto-sensei’s office.” (Kyoto-sensei= Vice-Principal) 

“E-Eh?!”

“Don’t ‘eh?!’ me! Just come with me!”

They arrived at the Vice-Principal’s office. She urged them to sit down.

Why is that boy here?! And who is this woman?! Why am I sent here?!

“It seems like you haven’t learned your lesson from the previous years you’ve been making fun of your classmates huh?” The VP said, sending glares to Riho’s direction while the two were staring at her intently. While Riho is gulping every second, she clutches her hand tightly. 

“Years?” The woman asked unbelievably.

“Yes, years Ma’am. It has been like…” Her hand on her chin, “3 years.”

“What?!! You should kick her out of this school if she continues this! She is a bad influence to the disciplined students!” 

“Unfortunately, we cannot Ma’am. It’s because her parents gave us obligations to take care of her..” 

“What a bad student. If I were the Vice Principal I already kicked her out three years ago! I couldn’t let someone corrupt her vicious ideas to our students even if her parents obligated her!!” Tears were threatening to fall out, luckily it didn’t.

“So.. what’s your decision now, Ma’am?”

The woman stared at her and said, “Well, since she is a girl and I believe she will change, hopefully. I want her to be my son’s student. And is her grades high?”

The VP shook her head, “Umm.. No, Ma’am. It is very low.” 

“Then my son will be her tutor. Besides, my son’s good at everything.” The two kids’ mouths were wide opened and panic were rushing through them. “That’s my final decision. AND,” She faced Riho, “If you didn’t do your best and if you still have that grades, I’ll be the one to kick you out this school. Understand?”

Riho worriedly shook her head and sighed.

The woman and the boy, were ready to leave when— “And my son’s name is Misuzawa Ichiro. Goodbye.”

When Ichiro stride past Riho, he looked at her and glared. 

She went sighing. 

Waaa!! I’m still in my hyper tension, but it seems like the ideas kept on coming 8D So how was it, Coleen~??!!

Arriving at the school’s premises, she looked around. Looking around for a boy she found a new target to her new pranks. She giggled cutely, or rather creepily to others. She walked to a music room without students and thought of an amazing idea. She got a rope (don’t ask me where it came from), then a chalk box with no chalks, but rather with chalk dusts. 

She set up a hole on the right side of the box and inserted the rope and hang it onto the door. So, the process will be:

1. The person will enter.

2. When he enters, the chalk dusts will fall on him. 

3. Then, he doesn’t know which fault it is!!!

4. And, she has some bonus to add to it ;) Some ballpen stains. 

She giggled and jumped excitedly. And by the way, he likes the music room too much. And yes, Riho has been following him for the few days.

Today, the school bell rang and she hurried off to class.

After 6 hours of class…

She began roaming around again, looking for other students to target at. Suddenly, she heard a noise and looked behind. Some rustling sounds she heard, she began running at the sounds. She glanced at the music room and yes, her conclusion was right! 

She came closer at the music room and caught a glance at the crouching boy who was covered with dusts all over his uniform. And some red and black stains which were all over his uniform. 

She chuckled and asked him, “Are you okay? Hihi..” She giggled and giggled while holding her stomach, while the boy retorted, 

“Are you dumb or something?! And this! What will you do to my uniform?!” She arched her eyebrows up still with a big smile on her face. 

“Sorry, it’s just a joke, anyway. And it’s only ballpen stains, so it’ll be removed quickly.” Shrugging her shoulders, she was ready to walk away when the boy held her nape and their faces were suddenly inches apart from each other. 

“PAY. FOR. IT!” She widened her eyes at the thought of another born devil. 

“I-It’s just a joke! Believe me!!” Chuckling worriedly, he grasped her shoulders more tightly this time. 

“A JOKE OR NOT, PAY FOR IT, YOU JERK!” She shut her eyes and soon the hands disappeared on her shoulders and he sighed, “I really don’t know what will happen to you if my MOM saw this. Well, I wish you a good luck.”

Soon, the figure disappeared. 

She crossed her arms and glared at no one in particular. 

“What’s with him, anyway?! Always using her mother’s powers to punish someone. What a girly boy.” Shaking her head, she still slid down the floor and sighed. 

“Well, I guess this is my punishment.” 

Wohoo~!!! Chappy 1!! Okay , okay. This got me hyped up!! :D

Sorry Coleen, but I don’t really want Opposites Do Attract. BUT! But, the two characters’ attitudes were reversed. Instead, the girl was the bully and the boy was… I can’t really tell for now. ;] Look forward to it~

And again, Torihaya Riho and Matsushima Ichiro. ;)

Prologue starts~: 

“Ittekimasu~ (I’m off~)” She ran off and headed at the streets of Tokyo. The wind was a little humid, but warm. But rather the wind, she was thinking of other things. 

FUN. 

JOKES. 

PRANKS.

Yes, all of it. Everyday thinking about it. Thinking of how to make fun of her classmates. And, it seems like she always succeeds. But now, her next target is the pretending-to-be-cool-and-handsome-Ichiro. She giggled as she thought of another plan to make fun of him. And she wants to have a revenge for always showing off his not-so-cool and handsome face. Therefore, today she decided to make fun of him to be laughed at for being arrogant of his UGLY face. 

And now is the time to take revenge. 

And I’ll introduce myself. I’m Torihaya Riho. A first year middle-school student. 13 years old. 

Everybody in school knows me, in other words, I’m famous!!! Muahahaha!!

However, many despises me for who I am. They think I’m a loser. But, I don’t care about them more or less.

So, whoever despises me, I’ll take a revenge!

Okay, I think my prologue was a little off. So, I’ll see you at Chapter 1~~

Hindi ko alam kung anong nakapagpapalungkot sa ‘kin e… 

Guess, Coleen? :(

My first ever sad story I’ve written. 

Coleen, what do you think? :D                                

                                   If only I could bring back time, 

                                     We would surely fall in love,

                                       Spend time together,

                                         And move forward.

                                             ”I love you.”

——-

“N-oo…no..no!” I shouted and thrashed through the bed. I sobbed loudly and gripped the sheet which was covering him. Making him more dull and pitiful. His parents were outside, allowing me to cry for myself and my love for him. I shouldn’t have forced my love for you!

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry, Mark. Forgive me.. please!” And the last thing I want to say was never been said. 

“I love you.” I kissed his hand and buried my face into the sheet.

———-

3 years ago. 

I am Jane Crookey. 12 years old. A grade 6 student. I’m still unknown of the knowledge about love. I didn’t care about anything. I have an outgoing personality. I only cared about having friends, because falling in love with someone else is a bother and there’s a feeling called hurt when you enter in a relationship. So, to avoid getting hurt, I’ll just not fall in love. 

Right now, I’m in a classroom. With our teacher announcing someone would be transferring to our class. When the news was announced, girls were all squealing and jumping like crazy. As if he’ll fall in love with them all in all. 

When the teacher asked for the student to come in, I was mesmerized by his handsome face. Even though there were many students who has a luck face like his, his was totally different. I don’t know how to explain it, but it’s like he has that cool personality with that face of his. 

“Hello, I’m Mark Locket. Nice to meet you all.” I smiled at his introduction and noticed students have hearts in their eyes like they’ve fallen in love with him at first sight. 

——-

When 1 month passed by, I noticed he wasn’t talking that much to others. Then, one day, I was walking at the school hallway. I saw him at the library. Then, from that day onwards, I found out that he really liked reading books and novels. 

After days of finding more about him, I found him at the school ground. Students were now nowhere in sight. I came in front of him and waved my hand, “Hi! Remember me?”

He nodded, “Yes. You’re.. Jane.” I smiled widely and I became curious of his social relationships with our classmates. I know I shouldn’t barge into someone business. But, it’s bugging me for a few days. 

“Can I ask you a personal question?” I said softly. Trying not to be a little oblivious of the situation right now.

He looked at me, “Why are you.. not talking to our classmates? Are you feeling shy or something? I’m sorry, I know I shouldn’t barge into you busin-”  

“It’s okay. And yes. I’m shy. I am a loner. I always wanted to be alone. I don’t have friends, even if I wanted to.” He continued staring at me, when I looked away and said, 

“T-Then, can we be friends? I have the same hobby as you, too. W-Well, if you don’t want to then.. it’s okay.” He patted my shoulder and smiled. I looked at him and smiled back. 

Eventually, we became friends. 

—— 

We spent a lot of time reading books. Though my head’s hurting, I can’t leave him alone. Even if I’ll be with him a lot. Even if I’ll spend time with him everyday. It’s ok. As long as, I’m with him.. Forever. 

As we spent time together, I noticed a feeling in my stomach that I’ve never felt before. Like fluttering butterflies flying in it. Like your heart beating fast whenever you see him smile. Like you want to see him everyday if he’s okay or you wanna spend time together. 

And Love arrived. 

I held my heart and shut my eyes. Shaking my head, I denied the fact that I was in love with him.

It’s impossible, right?

RIGHT?

RIGHT?!

——-

3 years later..
*RING RING* 

I jumped and picked up my cellphone. Yes, he texted me. I said I’ll meet him at the park today. He sent me a good morning text and I sent a smiley back at him. 

Then, the next message was ‘Can I go ahead at the park? I’ll just take a walk from there..’

I cocked my eyebrows up and smiled, realizing his situation, ‘Okay =))’

After taking a bath, I put on my clothes and got out of the house. 

I arrived at the park a few minutes later and saw a swarm of people huddled together in a circle at a highway. 

I peeked over at the crowd, but to an avail I failed. So I talked to one of the person who witnessed the situation. 

I poked the girl beside me, “Um.. excuse me, I just arrived here so what happened here?”

“Oh, there was an accident! A boy was hit by a car.” I widened my eyes and squeezed myself to enter at the crowd. When I looked at the person, I shivered. I looked at the person’s face one more time and widened my eyes. 

MARK! I shouted in my mind and tears began to well up on my eyes. I looked over at the ambulance and one of the men carried him on the stretcher. I decided not to cry and calm myself that he was going to be fine. 

I held the stretcher and cried. 

We arrived at the hospital and I held his hand. 

“Everything’s going to be fine, Mark. I promise!!” One of the nurse pushed him at the emergency room. I was pushed by one of the nurse to not enter the room first. I sat down heavily and cried and cried and cried. 

It was my fault. It was my fault he got into an accident. It was my fault, he’s there, with his painful body. I know it hurts for him of how painful his body is even if he’s unconscious of what happened to him.

After a few hours of waiting, the doctor came out. I stood up and asked him.

“Has something happened, Doc?” My voice broke at every word I said. 

He looked at me with sad eyes. 

“I’m sorry. He’s already… dead. Time of death, 3:00. Thursday.”

He fixed his document and walked away. I sobbed. And cried. The nurses urged me to come inside.

So.. here I am now, crying mercilessly.

I contacted his parents through the his phone given by the Doctor. And apologized to them. They shook their heads and looked at me. And back at him. They said,  he always talked about me everyday. He said I was special. I felt sparks inside my body, but there’s no hope in it. 

“N-oo…no..no!” I shouted and thrashed through the bed. I sobbed loudly and gripped the sheet which was covering him. Making him more dull and pitiful. His parents were outside, allowing me to cry for myself and my love for him. I shouldn’t have forced my love for you!

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry, Mark. Forgive me.. please!” And the last thing I want to say was never been said. 

“I love you.” I kissed his hand and buried my face into the sheet.

—- 

After 3 years..

Now, I’m at my grandparents’ veranda. Relaxing my eyes after reading a book. Suddenly, his image got in my mind. I opened my eyes and looked at the sky. 

“Time… Machine.” I chuckled sadly. “Can I get a time machine to get you back? To love you again? To read books? To spend time together? To laugh together? Please?”

——

“Hey, that’s the one I’m going to read!! Give that back!!” He pushed back the book and held his tongue out. I pouted. He patted my hair and gave the book back. 

“As long as you pout I’ll give anything for you.” With that, I blushed.

——

“Let’s go to a mall.” I stared at him weirdly. It’s not his nature to suddenly invite someone else to a mall. And why a mall anyway?

“Why a mall?” I made a face and he laughed.

“It’s because I want to spend the time with you.”

——

“Aghh!! This is sooo hard. Teach me, please?” He shook his head and continued reading. However, I was doing my homework which wasn’t done nicely yesterday evening.

“No.” He repeated. I was beginning to be angry and-

“NO.”

“What’s with you anyway?! You’ll only gonna teach me and you don’t even wanna do it?! Are you crazy?! What if I’ll fail this exam?! Then it’s all your fault!!”

He held back his laugh and I retorted back. 

“What’s with you?!” 

“Nothing. You’re just too cute.”

——

“Thanks for being there for me.” I nodded and smiled at him.

“Whenever you need help, call for me. Okay?”

He smiled back and looked at the sky again.

——

I was sleeping at my desk in the classroom. I was about to open my eyes when I heard the door open. I still closed my eyes and I heard someone whisper.

“Hey… wake up.” It’s him, I thought. 

I saw him crouch down next to me.

“I love you…”

—— FINISH.

Huwaaaa!!!! So long. I wrote for about 3 1/2 hours. I was worried about the outcome, but I think it’s fine :]

Oi! Pano mo nalaman saakin?!
