The Quiet Spring

Chapter Six

(Extreme fan girl: Hana / Who is head over heels with Oliver)

Oliver's POV

I woke up to the annoying sound of my alarm clock. As I stared at my ceiling I recalled what Corrina did for me yesterday.

I really didn't want to leave her house but she was so quick to getting me to leave once I saw her mark. Was she hiding something from me? "Wait! Oliver!" I turned around and saw a panting Corrina with wide eyes. Was this for him?

I heaved a sigh as I thought about my unmanly reaction to Corrina giving me her great tasting rice balls. I sat up in my bed and threw the warm covers off my body. I shiver slightly and dash for my bathroom and turn on the hot water. While the water warms up, I strip my clothes off and finally test the hot water. I slip in and start getting my usual morning routine started. After drying my hair out with a towel and getting dressed in my school uniform, I grab my bag and sling it over my shoulder before locking up the door and heading towards school.

I flicked my bangs to the side as I swiped my ID card and headed to my locker. Girls were staring at me with hearts in their eyes and I couldn't help but smirk. I opened my locker and a small piece of blue paper flitted out at me. I snatched it in the air, hearing girls squeal about I had such good reflexes. I opened the note up and quickly read the curvy writing. I remembered that handwriting from yesterday quickly. I folded the note back up and stuffed it into my bag and then went on with grabbing my books.

I opened the door to homeroom and saw Corrina staring at a new flower in the same vase as yesterday. I strolled over to my desk next to hers and knocked on it lightly. Corrina looked up, startled, and wildly looking around the room. When her eyes fell on me her cheeks turned slightly pink. "Y-y-yes?" She questioningly stuttered. "I won't tell." I whispered to her and put my hand on the back of my neck. Her eyes widened and she slowly nodded. "Th-thanks..." She muttered and looked down, her long blonde bangs hooding her eyes from view.

The bell rang and the teacher was about twenty minutes late. Miss. Ichi came into the room and gave the brief announcement about the class trip to the beach about an hour away by bus that will happen the day after finals. Finals were starting tomorrow and ending next week. They were starting later apparently this year so they had to push everything aside and get started on them or something. The bell rang and I went on with my life for the rest of the day until school ended. I had passed by Corrina in the hallway a few times and every time I did I saw her trying to ignore me. Was she trying to ignore me?

At lunch I followed the notes instructions and walked behind the east wing's art section and knelt under the first window. "I knew you'd be here!" A girls voice echoed from the bush a little ways from me. Suddenly, Hana slipped out from behind the bush and crawled over to me, keeping herself hidden under the windows. Her long hair was pulled up into a shorter look with a small bun on the upper left side of her head and her odd flower crown she wore yesterday was still on. Her clear blue eyes were starting to get dangerously close to my face. She had been my lab partner yesterday and had written down notes on the experiment.

She set her boxed lunch in front of her and neatly unwrapped it, revealing its luminous contents. It looks so professionally done! "My cook made this lunch for me today so we can share it!" Hana continued by placing the second layer of her lunch towards me with a set of red chopsticks. "Thanks..." I mutter, sort of sounding like Corrina. My mind started to wonder off thinking about the blonde, completely ignoring Hana's question. "Oliver?" She asked, waving a hand in front of his face. I immediately looked at the blue haired girl who was now pouting.

"I saw you and that short blonde Corrina falling in the hallway down the stairs. Then you two walked to her house... Are you two dating or something?" Hana asked annoyed. I smirked at the jealous girl. Her bright red cheeks full of jealousy kind of turns me on... But Corrina is very beautiful as well when she's always stuttering and hooding her eyes through her long and luscious blonde... bangs... I felt like was about to drool thinking about the blonde like that. I looked at the fidgeting Hana and sighed. "Corrina and I don't have a thing if that's what you mean. I do think she very pretty though..." I told the girl. She looked up at me with wide eyes before giving me a closed eyed smile. "Good!"

The two of us finished the lunches with simple small talk before the bell rang and I went off to go to my next classes. Unfortunately I had no idea what was going to happen to my little blonde friend later that day...
