That Girl With Bubblegum Hair

Bubblegum Stars [p3]

Hello ma dudes and dudettes. This is not relevant to the story, but my cat is being REALLY CUTE right now!!

Enjoy the story!! :) 

[ Recap: SHIT!! What am I gonna do? Why did I wait so long to help her?!]  

[Another POV has been unlocked, YEEE] Tsu POV-

I TALKED TO HIM!!!!! Iris is gonna be so proud of me!! I walk from the math room with a skip in my step. 

"I even got his number!" I talk to myself happily. I'm gonna have to call her later to tell her. School ended half an hour ago, so she is probably home already. "I talked to him for almost 4o minutes! Ahhhh" I have the biggest smile, and no doubt blush, on my face. 

I'm making my way to the entrance when I see it. A girl with pink hair carrying a bruised brunet in her arms bridal style. My eyes go wide, smile disintegrating. MINA?! Confusion overtakes me. 

Mina fiddles with the nurse's door as I rush over. "What happened to her!?" I question, my eyes are glassy as I hold open the door for them. 

"Thank you" She says softly carrying Iris to the bed. Then it hits me..

"Liam?" I whisper, she nods silently. I get an icepack as Mina sets her on the bed. After getting her set and cleaning off her scratched cheeks, we both sit down, eagerly waiting for Iris to come back to reality. 

Mina POV - 

Shit! SHIT! SHIT! SHITTT! This is all my fault! Why did I let my curiosity get the better of me?!?! I should have helped out sooner!!!! 

I'm in the middle of scolding myself when I hear rustling. Me and Tsu share a glance then our eyes return to the bed; to Iris. SHES WAKING UP! Thank GOSH! We both hurry over to her bedside. 

"Hey! Wake up!" Tsu gently shakes her shoulder, careful not to harm her.  

Iris POV - 

I can feel someone shaking my shoulder. 

Science room...School....Pain.......Liam I remember, scared out of my mind. 

"hey~ You awake?" 

I'm scared. 

My hands cover my face in defense, "L-leave me alone Liam!" my voice cracks as I stutter. Eyes squeezing shut. 

"N-No, it's Tsu. You okay?" Tsu puts her hands on my arms, lowering them from my face. My eyes slowly open till I'm looking at her. Green, and pink? Pink?! MINA!? I blush, my eyes going wide.  Mina giggle. 

"I think she's fine now" She says softly, still giggling a bit.

"Yea" Tsu sighs before turning to me. 

Here it comes... "YOU SCARED ME! I thought that you were seriously hurt!" She yells, before wrapping both her arms around my neck. Crying. 

"S'all right, I'm fine now" I return her hug, attempting to soothe her nerves. 

"We should get going, your parents are probably worried about you by now" Mins puts her hand on Tsu's shoulder, signaling her to let go of me. She does. "Common" Mina gives me her hand to help me up. I'm about to tell her there is no need to rush when she pulls me onto my feet. 

"T-T-Thanks" I blush, now standing up. As if holding her hand isn't enough, my legs decide to wobble and give out. I fall, she catches me. 

She's holding me! Like in her arms! OMG! I can only imagine how red my face is. Seeing this Mina laughs again, "Are you okay? Hehe" Tsu also notices my face and winks. DAMN, THAT GIRL!!

"Comon' let's get you home" Mina steady me, putting my arm around her shoulder so I can stand. The three of us exit the Nurses office together. 

~~~~~~~~Outside the school, on the way to Iris house~~~~~~~

"Ya wanna know something?" Tsu whispers in my ear. 

"Uh sure?" I say, keeping my voice quite like hers. I guess she doesn't want Mina, who is still helping me walk, to hear her. 

"Ya know bridal style? Like carrying someone?" I nod and she continues. "Yea, well she carried you like that all~ the way from the science room to the nurse office" She teases. 

"Ahh you little!" my face reddens as Mina turns to face mine. So close! She lifts up an eyebrow, making me snort-laugh. 

SHIT! Did I just snorted in front of her! I look at the ground, embarrassed. She's gonna think I'm so weird! Ahhhh! My face is burning up at this point. 

"Sa-sorry. That was weird.."I stutter, still looking down. 

"Hey-Haha-no that was so cute!!-haha" she chuckles ruffling my hair with her hand. 

"Wha-really?" HOW COULD SHE THINK ITS CUTE?!  DENKI ALWAYS LAUGHS AT ME WHEN I DO THAT!!

"Yea, I'm not one to lie" She pauses, "...Okay, I do lie sometimes...But I'm not lying about that being cute." She reassures me, still with her hand on my head. 

My cheeks must be red as a strawberry, embarrassing! I sneak a peek at her face, She's looking at me! I quickly look back at the ground.

Mina POV- 

Iris's arm is still around my shoulder as I help her get home. She's staring at the ground, with the biggest blush EVER on her face. Adorable!!

After a few minutes of silence, we pass Tsu's house. She waves to me as she heads inside, also giving Iris a small thumbs up. A few more minutes pass. It's so quiet, and I'm about to bring up Liam was talkin-yelling at her about, but reconsider. I don't want to make her any more uncomfortable. I decided to stick with simple questions.

"So~ what's your favorite color?" 

"Uh...Hmm?" she contemplates. Operation break the silence is a go! I mentally congratulate myself. "I like black....and pink. Ooh~ but I also really like mint green! Its so pretty!" She looks up at me. "What about you?" 

"Easy, I like pink" I gesture to my hair, making her laugh. 

"That makes sense" I nod and smile. The rest of the way to her house we ask questions back and forth. Things like: What's your favorite animal? Favorite show? Have any pets? Then we got caught up talking about an anime we both watched. [Akame Ga Kill]

"...Mine is so hot, definitely my favorite character" Iris is ranting about it and I can't help but smile at the fact that we have so much in common. "Anyway, the ending almost made..me..oh!" she stops walking. "We're here already? That was quick" 

I nod as we walk up to the door. I check my phone, 4:16, school ended at 3. Quickest hour ever.

I notice the absence of cars in the driveway as she removes her arm from around my shoulder and opens the door. "Where are your parents?" I question.

"Oh, they don't get home till around 6. You can come in if you want" She walks inside the house and I follow. She offers me a drink and snack, I smile and accept then we go up to her room. 

Iris POV -

OMG!! she is in my house!! I smile and hand her a snack from the pantry. She takes it and we head upstairs.
