That Week of Hearts (EXO - Luhan and Kai Fanfiction)

Confusion

I fidget with my cell phone charm when I see Claire walking towards me with a large pizza box.

“Hey, are you okay? Where’s Luhan and Kai?” she asks, genuine concern in her voice.

No, I’m not okay. This entire day just went downhill since I came to the mall. Why did I ever think that someone like Luhan would ever like me?

I sigh. “Clare, I need to tell you something…”

She opens the pizza box, hands me a plate, takes out two pieces of pizza and places one on my plate.

“Yeah?”

“You know how Luhan said we were dating? Well, we’re not. We’re on some fake date in order to set you and Kai up and I don’t even know why because you don’t even like him and I don’t think he likes you either…”

Claire’s mouth hangs open as she holds the half eaten piece of pizza up to her mouth.  Then, her expression turns dark and she begins to glare outside the window.

“This asshole!” she screams as she slams her pizza back onto her plate. “Where is he?! Why I oughta!!”

“He’s outside talking to Kai. But Claire, he doesn’t even like me! He told me he doesn’t like me! And now I don’t know what to do because I still really like him and I just… I’m so confused. I don’t even know why he wants to set you guys up!”

She sighs and rests her chin on her wrist. “You know, I’m not surprised that he would do something like that. He thinks he’s so cool just because he gets all the girls. And how could he do that to you?! Tell him you’re not doing the dance with him! You deserve someone better!”

“Claire, I can’t just tell him that! It’s an obligation to the club! Even if I really don’t want to be his partner anymore…”

We both look up and see Kai and Luhan walking back to our table.

Kai’s eyes widen as he grabs a plate and takes out two pieces of pizza, “Oh! Food!”

I look at Claire who glares at Luhan while he eats.

“Is something wrong, Claire?” I hear Luhan ask.

Claire jumps, “Hm? No, nothing. You uh, you have a… an eyelash on your cheek…”

I mentally slap my face. Really Claire? Is that the best you could come up with?

“Oh,” he brushes his face with his hand, “So where do guys want to go after this?”

“I was thinking Lindy and I could go do the "Walk of Valentine’s" at the other end of the mall.”

I look up to see everyone looking at Kai. Well, that’s confusing. Why did Kai just ask me go to the “Walk of Valentine’s?” Doesn’t he think that Luhan and I are dating?

I look at Luhan who glares at Kai. Yep, Luhan is mad.

“So what do you say Lindy? You wanna go with me?”

“Uh, um well I…”

“No, because she’s going with me!” Luhan cuts in.

Kai turns and glares at Luhan.

Huh? I thought that Luhan didn’t… but Kai just asked…

“I thought that you didn’t li…” I begin to accuse Luhan but remember that Kai was sitting right next to him. “I mean, I thought that you… didn’t like things like that…?”

Great save Lindy, great save. Not.

Luhan looks around the room. “Um, I’m willing to go with my girlfriend!”

Right, girlfriend, because you “like” me so much.

Kai’s expression changes when he turns back to me.

“So Lindy, who do you want to go with?” Kai asks.

“I…um…”

Who am I supposed to go with? I want to go with Luhan. But then I don’t want to go with him. And I don’t even know why Kai is asking me. This is so confusing.

“Well if Lindy doesn’t want to go with either of you guys then I’ll go with her. She is my best friend,” Claire says.

“Yeah, but I haven’t hung out with Lindy lately, so I would really like to go with her,” Kai quickly says.

“So who are you going with, Lindy?” Luhan says as he frowns at me.

I look at Luhan, then Kai, then Claire.

“I’ll go with Kai….”

They all stare at me in disbelief.

What is wrong with me?
