Connected Hearts

Chapter 6

"Hey let's go out somewhere" Yuzu said
"What?" Mei asked
"We should have fun together. I know an arcade nearby. Or if you want we can go to a karaoke" Yuzu said
"No thanks" Mei said
"That doesn't sound bad" Himeko said
"Seriously?" Mei asked looking at Himeko
"Himeko agrees. Come on, we should definitely go. I've actually done my work on time and studied well for my tests these past few weeks. I deserve some kind of reward for this hard work" Yuzu said
"Hmmm..." Mei hummed
"I'm sure one day of having fun won't hurt" Himeko said
"...alright" Mei said
"Yeah!" Yuzu said jumping out of her chair
"Keep your voice down" Himeko said
"Oops my bad. Anyways, is it cool for all of us to go?" Yuzu asked sitting down again
"My grandfather is busy with business meetings. I'm sure it's alright" Mei said
"Yeah I'll let my mom know" Himeko said
"Perfect!" Yuzu said
Ah if only Shai could come with us then it'll be more fun but maybe next time
"But we should change out of our uniforms before we head out" Mei said
"Okay" Yuzu said
"Where should we meet up?" Himeko said
"Hmm well...we should go by this arcade. Or we could go shopping for stuff" Yuzu said
"Oh shopping? That sounds fun. I definitely need new clothes" Himeko said
"Whatever you guys want is fine by me" Mei said
"Isn't there a place you'd like to go?" Yuzu asked
"No" Mei said
"Meimei isn't the type to enjoy going out because she's always stuck having to do work" Himeko said
"Oh so she doesn't know how to have fun" Yuzu said
"Will you two be quiet?" Mei asked
"I'll make sure you have fun" Yuzu said
"As long as it's not too crowded" Mei said
"Then the mall it is. I'll give you all a ride" Himeko said
"Alright. Sounds great" Yuzu said. Once lunch ended, Yuzu left to go to the bathrooms where she tried to calm herself down. She sighed deeply while her cheeks were burning up. Yuzu's heart was beating rapidly and she held both her cheeks
"Haaa...I really want to kiss her again. Ugh it's been weeks already since that happened...I don't wanna wait anymore" Yuzu whined and looked in the mirror. She blushed a little and smiled warmly thinking about Mei's expression
"At least we can grow up together and be with each other. So it should be fine. Next year we'll be going into the Academy together" Yuzu said and giggled softly
I'm so crazy in love with her...
Yuzu stopped hearing someone else stepping inside and turned on the sink as she washed her hands
"You really must be having so much fun hanging out with her" The girl said and Yuzu dried up her hands before walking out
"Excuse me" Yuzu said and bumped into the other girls that blocked the exit of the bathroom
"I'm not done with you! What the hell!?" The girl exclaimed and Yuzu turned to look at the girl
"I'm sorry but what do you want? Yes I'm close with Mei so what? Do you have a problem with it?" Yuzu asked
"It just looks to me that you two have some kind of weird connection. I mean how did Mei allow someone like you to stand by her side?" The girl asked
"Because I wanted to be friends with her and she agreed?" Yuzu said
"Oh please Mei isn't able to make true friends at all" The girl said
"Is that all you're going to say because I really need to get back to class. The teacher might think I'm skipping" Yuzu said
"A nobody like you doesn't deserve to stand by her side. If you're not with Aihara-san because of her status then could it be that you're a lesbian? Do you like girls or something?" The girl laughed
"No but I think the lesbian here might be you" Yuzu said
"Wh-what?! Me!? Hell no! What the fuck?!" The girl exclaimed
"Well it seems to me that you're just jealous" Yuzu said
"Wh-what? Jealous? Why would I be jealous?" The girl asked
"You're upset that I'm with Mei and you always talk about her every time. All you think about is Mei this and Mei that. Isn't that right? I can't be the only one who noticed that from her'' Yuzu said looking at the other girls
"W-well...now that you mention it. She kinda does" One girl agreed
"Yeah she's always talking about Aihara-san. It's like she's the one who has a crush on her" The other girl agreed
"It's starting to get annoying because we'd like to talk about other things but you always have to bring Aihara-san up" The last girl said. The girl trembled seeing her friends taking the side of Yuzu and clenched her fists tightly
"What are we even here for? Let's go" Her friend said
"Yeah we're just wasting our time" The other girl said
"H-hey! Where are you going!? Hey stop!" The girl said watching her friends leave
"Now will you leave me alone? You're starting to annoy me..." Yuzu said walking past the girl and went back to her classroom. The girl gritted her teeth and clenched her fists
Th-that bitch...who does she think she is?
