Chapter 11 - Reality Sinks In

What is going on? Tsubaki and Azusa have feelings for me too...

I don't understand how they are feeling this way.

I can understand how Fuuto would be flirting with me since that is his personality.

But still...what is going on?

I laid on my bed at night as I hugged my pillow and closed my eyes as I tried to go to sleep and ease my mind for the next day.

--

At school...

"I'll see you later, Naomi," Yuusuke said with a smile.

I showed a strained smile and replied, "Yeah. I'll see you then." I turned around to avoid him but his hand was placed on my shoulder and a serious gaze fell upon mine.

"Naomi, what happened? You're acting strange," Yuusuke spoke.

I took his hand and removed it from my shoulder. I looked at him with calm eyes and a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, Yuusuke. I'll take care of everything. Don't worry about me this time. This is one thing I have to take care of myself."

I turned around again and walked away towards my first class while he watched me leave, not knowing whether to be worried or just leave everything for me to handle.

I arrived in my first class early and sat down trying to collect my thoughts.

One day, I will tell them how I feel...I just don't know to say so...

I sighed as the school bell rang and class started.

After class...

I walked out of class and found Fuuto standing next to me. He seemed to be waiting for me to leave class.

A group girls were watching him from afar and they were fangirling like they do everyday.

Once I noticed him, I looked away and spoke, "What is it? You want to sit with me at lunch so you could flirt with me even more? Is that what you want?"

Fuuto did not respond.

"I have no time to talk right now. I have to get books out of my locker," I turned to walk away as he took my arm to stop me.

"Wait!", he yelled as he averted his gaze from me. "All I want from you is time to hear me out."

I turned around and noticed that he was serious. I exhaled and spoke, "Fine."

We walked away from the group of girls as went to an area outside on the campus. Fuuto stood with his back against a tree as I stood in front of him, keeping a bit of distance from him. He had his arms crossed while I one hand holding onto my arm.

It was silent until he spoke, "I'm sorry, Naomi."

I looked at him with surprise as he looked down with guilt showing on his face.

I did not respond as he continued to talk, "I thought about what you told me before."

"We are siblings, we should never be treating each other this way. But, if you are going to continue treating me like this, then so be it."

He continued, "You were right. I was being a jerk to you and I was not caring about how you felt. I'm sorry, Naomi. I didn't mean to make you feel terrible."

I looked at him as he looked down feeling ashamed and his shoulders were trembling a bit.

I walked over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. He looked at me as I smiled at him, "Thank you, Fuuto for apologizing."
