HE'S MINE

059

"hey!" yuzuha chased after school and even though I tried to fasten my pace, she managed to catch up with me.

"hey!" I awkwardly answered while kept walking.

"Is everything alright?" she asked, trying to match her pace with me.

"yep! why would you ask?" I inquired, exiting the main gate. it's been a week since Yuzuha and I had visited Sanzu at his mansion, things were good between Mikey and me as well, but I had managed to ignore Yuzuha for a good amount of time. it was just very awkward to talk to her after she and Sanzu had kind of showing their love for each other, why was I being so jealous? honestly, I have no idea.

"you have been ignoring me." she babbled, walking with me. Mikey and Baji had to go somewhere that's why I was walking home that day, another reason to remember Sanzu.

"no! I have just been busy." I lied, keeping my head down, and kept walking, "oh! what happened to Sanzu and Baji's twin situation?" I asked, I haven't seen Sanzu around which meant he was still not allowed to enter the school premises.

"she has told the principal that she will talk about it once she gets back home," Yuzuha mumbled, Baji's twin has been out of the town for quite a few days, or so it was being told to us.

"you two are cute." I added, walking ahead and avoiding eye contact with Yuzuha, she halted and after a few seconds I realized that I'd left her far behind, "what?" I turned to her and asked.

"who you talking about?" she questioned, honestly looking very puzzled, making her way back to me, she stood face to face with me.

"you and Sanzu!" I murmured, and watched her face, if only she can see how much lain I go through every time I talk about Sanzu. it was ironic how there was a time I was convinced Yuzuha that I had no feelings for Sanzu and that I thought I was being fed up with his name and existence, indeed, we never value things we easily get. and now that he was not even bothered by my existence, I was dying to catch his attention.

"sanzu and I?" Yuzuha pointed her finger at her chest, "are you kidding me?" she burst out laughing, my face fell pale at her reaction. "I'm sorry, so it again." she bent over, her hands on her stomach, and her eyes were full of tears due to laughter.

"what's so funny?" annoyed, I asked.

"you!" she pointed a finger at my face and wouldn't stop laughing. she can see from my face that I was pissed, yet she wouldn't stop laughing.

"Okay okay," she fought to catch her breath and after calming herself, she rolled her eyes, "you saw the posts?" she shook her head in disappointment.

"yeah!" I stated, tilting my head to the side, folding my arms on my chest. wow! I know I sounded desperate, but I didn't notice it at that time.

"That was his plan to make Hanma realize that he has lost me," she mumbled and shrugged her shoulders. "I get it, looking at Sanzu, any girl would dream of him, and honestly speaking, if I hadn't known what was his deal and I hadn't fallen for Hanma, I would have fallen for Sanzu." she babbled, "you are the only girl who was immune to his charms." she pressed her lips in a tight line after ripping apart my heart. yeah! I am immune to his charms, that's why I can't stop thinking about him other than my boyfriend, that's why I cried like crazy the night I saw their post.

"oh, you still love Hanma?" I tried to sound casual, there was a huge burden lifted off my chest.

"he does too, the night Sanzu made me stay for a little chit chat, Sanzu sent him a huge paragraph of how bro code works, that's how Sanzu is doing wrong to him." there was a feeling of victory in her voice, I was now happy for her.

"wow, and HE acted like he had moved on." I shook my head; boys are something.

"these friends, they are good at pretending." she agreed, and that's when I thought of Sanzu, maybe he is pretending too, and now that Yuzuha and he are this closes, she might know how he feels about me now. I know I am weird to think of him now she I got a boyfriend, myself, but at times I forget I have one.

"I don't know if he will ever forgive me," I mumbled and watched her face from the corner of my eyes.

"I bet he will just give him some time." she sadly answered, so he was really mad at me. "how is your life?" she asked, slowly walking with me to the side of the road and sitting on a bench with me.

"Okay!" I give a nod dizzily.

"just okay? isn't he the guy you have craved to be with?" she inquired, trying to read my mind.

"I felt that too for a long time." I was honestly not feeling this relationship, there was something not right about it, he would always get mad, insanely aggressive, and crazy demanding.

"you are not happy?" she quickly declared and pulled her body a little away.

"I don't know," I mumbled, playing with my fingers. I didn't want her to think that I was miserable, I had no one left after Mikey leaves me. people will laugh at me; the things Mikey will tell them about me will crush me. he will tell them that I was wrong, that I cheated, and as so popular he is, everyone will believe him not me.

"you know what?" Yuzuha smiled, "Sanzu, Hanma, and I are meeting in Hanma's cabin, which is a little far away hike from here, because you know Sanzu can't roam around the town especially after Baji's twin case, so we have decided to meet there. I want you to come with us." she had a wide smile plastered on her face, I looked at her face and sighed.

"that will be so inappropriate, Sanzu will think I am forcing myself back into the group and hanma---," I lowered my head, there was a time that everyone respected me, treated me special but I have ruined it all for myself.

"you can take care of Hanma that I know for sure, he can't match you with the insults. and sanzu, I know him, so please come." she smiled, really hoping I would say yes.

"but what will I say to Grandpa and Mikey?" I questioned, watching her face, knowing she always had answers.

"I will tell him that it is a girl's sleepover at Hinata's house." Yuzuha cheered, that's what she has told her brother as well. Hinata was a nice girl, an image of how I was in the beginning.

"Okay!" a smile appeared on my lips.

"tonight okay? and by the way, y/n feel free to let me know about everything in your life, trust me, I will give you good advice." she smiled and got up, " now hurry up, we don't wanna waste a second." she made me stand up and began pushing me. I reached my home and quickly started packing my stuff for two days of stay, what an extended sleepover.

The sheriff has already told me, Grandpa, about the sleepover and he was okay with it, so I part my ways along with Yuzuha after an hour exactly. we met at Hinata's house and instead of going inside, we began walking towards the woods.

"I am scared," I mumbled, pulling my bag strap over my shoulder, it was pretty slippery and was falling off my shoulders over and over again.

"it's okay, the boys will be here somewhere," she mumbled, looking around. we were standing in the woods, waiting for them to show up. I was thankful for Yuzuha for being this nice to me, even after so much happened. this girl has a heart of gold, to be honest, and the fact that she was okay with me dating her ex and even talking about him,  made me wonder how can Mikey leave a girl like her?

we were standing with the bags on our shoulders when we heard the rustling of leaves, coming from the woods.

"that's them." Yuzuha cheered, but when they didn't show up, we started to get worried. a cough caught out attention, it sounded like some old sick man coughing, we jumped and hugged each other.

"I don't wanna lose my virginity here," I mumbled and Yuzuha veered her neck to me.

"I am surprised you hadn't lost it yet," she whispered, her eyes staring at my face. and then someone jumped from the and got us in his grip, he began to put something in my mouth, it has to be chloroformed.
