Love Story #5

Chapter #5

"Okay then, let's start with the basics, the 'Have straight eye contact'."
---------------------------------------------
Lunch finished, and both Yuugure, and I went back to the class room.

I couldn't stand the fact that I had to help Yuugure with his girl problems.

Classes went by, and soon, we all had to leave school. Just when I reached the gate, a girl approached me.

"Well well, if it isn't Tachibana Haruhi. Do you remember me?" The girl said.

Her voice was too familiar. She was the one who bullied me, pushed me around to do work and lastly, stole my middle school life. I was a nobody back in middle school because of her. The only friend I  had was Yumi-chan. She also took away the love of my life.

"Uh umm, Futaba Saiko was it?" I replied. "Good girl. You managed to remember my name." she said.

She came closer, and closer till the gap left in between us was about a ruler's length. She started saying a bunch of stuff too. "Aww Tachibana, why don't you buy me a drink, it's our reunion afterall."

I stared into her eyes, with fear flooding all over my body. I was about to go to the nearest vending machine to do as she wished, right until...

"Ah! Tachibana, I thought you left." A masculine voice coming from behind me said.

I looked behind me, and found Yuugure standing there, with a puzzled expression.

"What a hottie." Futaba said. "Introduce me Tachibana."

I stared at her for a moment, then looked at Yuugure.

"It's not like he's your boyfriend right? You probably won't ever get a boyfriend anyway" Futaba stated.

"U-Umm yeah... He isn't my boyfriend. Ah-ha, your right, I probably won't ever get a boyfriend..." I stutured.

"You stole the love of my life. Aren't you his girlfriend. Why are you cheating on him?"

As I was about to turn to Yuugure, I felt a hand on my wrist. The next thing I knew, I was pulled closer to Yuugere.

"Futaba-san was it?" Yuugure stated, "Sorry, but I'm taken. Also, Tachibana does have a boyfriend."

I just stood there, staring at Yuugure with shock. He then pulled me away, and soon I lost sight of Futaba Saiko.

"Man, what kind of friends did you have back in middle school." Yuugure asked. "It's none of your business." I said, tearing up.

"Wait, what?! Tachibana, are you crying?" Yuugure exclaimed.

"No! You idiot! I-I just have something in my eyes. " I said.

Yuugure grabbed my hand, and pulled me towards him. I was being hugged...

"You must have been scared huh..." Yuugure said, "Well you can cry here if you want. Nobody is around anyways."

I looked at him straight in the eyes, and accepted his offer.

I cried and cried and cried. Yuugure lent me his shoulder, and patted my back for the entire time.

Time passed, and I stopped crying. I went straight home, and ran up into my room.

-The Next Day-

  "Ehem. *cough* *cough*" i said, As I cleared my throat.

  I stared at Yuugure in the eye, and said, "Umm...let's forget what happened yesterday, but thanks for lending me your shoulder."

  Yuugure smiled and replied, "Sure."

  After saying that, Yuugure walked of into the distance. Two days have passed without us talking to each other. He acted like nothing happened, which was a good thing. I received love problems as usual, everything was back to normal. The only thing different was that whenever we walked passed by, we would never take a second glance at each other.
