Kei’s P.O.V.
lunch time…
I don’t feel like eating now because I ate two bowls of rice for breakfast already. Besides, Yuya is up doing his own business mingling with other girls now.
I also think that I should be planning on how to make that Aina girl to fall for me so I decided to go to the rooftop to do my thinking.
I opened the rooftop’s door and to my hontou-shock, a girl was there lying on her back with a notebook covering her face.
This rooftop is my place. It’s MINE. No goes here except me. Even the teachers won’t go here to refrain me. And now a girl goes here and lies on her back? UNFORGIVABLE.
I approached her lying figure and sat beside her.
She sat up.
“Nani?” she asked as she removed the notebook from her face… WOW. She’s our new classmate. My soon-to-be girlfriend.
“Could you please go out of the rooftop?” I asked her nicely, trying my best warm smile on.
“Nande?” she asked, still lying on her back.
“Well, this place is mine.” I said. I know she would understand. It’s ME after all. I’m sure my pheromones would affect her.
“This place is yours? Hontou ni?” she asked again, this time, she sat up and closed the notebook and put it on her lap.
“Yeah. So can you get out now?”
“No.”
“Eh??” I asked in disbelief. Hontou ni?!??!?! This girl is not obeying me???? What’s with her. Oi, Ayane Akahane, Kei Inoo is already trying his best smile on you and you won’t fall for it?!?!?! What’s up with you??
“Did you buy it? Do you have a contract, papers, or anything to prove to me that you own this place?” she said with a frown and raised eyebrows.
I stood up.
“I didn’t buy this place and nor do I have a contract nor papers. But this place is mine!!” I said, the fake kind Inoo Kei in me slowly fading away.
She also stood up.
“If you don’t have any proof then it’s not yours! Thank you very much mister, you just awakened me from my sweet, sweet slumber.” She crossed her arms. “And who are you anyway to say that this place is yours? This is school property. Everyone has the privilege to get in here.”
“Hontou ni?? You don’t know me???” my eyes widened in god-knows-what-level of disbelief.
“Is it like, an OBLIGATION for me to know??” she now put her hands on her waist so she looks like a teen version of oba-chan. “I don’t know who you are and I don’t CARE who you are.”
“And if I knew who you are…” she went closer to my face and narrowed her eyes, “…I would regret it.” At that she pulled her face away from mine.
I just stood there, frozen. Is this girl for real?? She doesn’t know me? And top of all, it’s as if she doesn’t like me!!! Oh no, no, no, no Kei Inoonononono…. She likes you. Really. She likes you by A LOT. She’s just hiding it and testing you, maybe just trying to see your other side.
I sighed to myself and approached her.
I took her hands.
“Gomen. Aina-chan, for yelling at you.” I said with fake sincerity.
“Chan??” she said, her voice much lower this time. I then released her hands slowly from mine.
I looked her straight in the eyes and leaned my face closer toward hers.
She breathed deeply. Perhaps she was trying to ready herself for the kiss I’m going to give her. But of course, I won’t be giving it to her really.
I held her chin lightly as my face was only 5 inches away from hers…4 inches…3 inches…I closed my eyes… 2 and a half inches…
Just when I was about to break her into my prank, I felt my right hand twist onto my back.
“ITAI!!!!” I screamed in oh-so-glorious pain.
“JUST WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING TO DO?!??!?!!” she shouted, still gripping my right hand onto my back.
“EHH???!!??” I was disbelieving again. “Release me now!!!!”
“I won’t! You should be punished for that you freaking pervert!!” she yelled and gripped my hand even more.
“Itai!! That really hurts!!! ONEGAISHIMASU!!!! GOMEN NASAI!!! GOMEN NASAIII!!!! GOMEN!! GOMEN!!!“ I yelled helplessly.
She reluctantly released me.
She backed away as I was shaking my right hand that was currently in a bloody shade of red.
“Look at what you did!!” I shouted as I kept on shaking my hand with the support of the other. “I can barely move my fingers!”
She broke into laughter.
For the nth time, I looked at her in disbelief. “Nani?? What are you laughing about??!? Ha?!?!?”
“Betsuni.” She stopped laughing, though her shoulders were still vibrating.
“Oi!!!”
“You should see you face. You look like a puppy.”
Disbelief. Again. Kami-sama, please answer me… Just what is up with this girl in front of me??
“You don’t like it??” I asked once she quieted down.
“Ehh??? You expect me to like that?!?!?” she said. “Are you mentally-ill or something?? Of course I don’t!”
“MENTALLY-ILL???!?!?!? I’m not mentally-ill! And what’s up with you??? Are you pheromone-proof or something?!?!?”
“Pheromone-proof??!? What the hell is that? I don’t even know what pheromones are!!” she yelled at me.
Yelling at me? This is unbelievable.
“Will you be my girlfriend?” I asked. I didn’t really mean to say that but it just came out of my mouth and it sounded really lame like ‘Can I borrow your pen?’.
“Be your girlfriend?!? Of course not!!”
“EHH????????”
“So you do expect me to want it???”
“Of course!!!” I answered. Of course I want you to be my girlfriend or else Yuya would think I’m gay!! God, I wanted to tell her that.
“You’re… you’re really mentally-ill…perverted…” she said as she immediately left the rooftop and slam closed the door.
Eh?? Mentally-ill and perverted?? I’m not that!! Hontou ni, believe me, I’m not like that!!!
At my frozen moment of distress I found a notebook lying on the ground… the same notebook she used earlier to cover her face.
I picked it up and realized that it was hardbound. I flipped it open and on the first page, Akahane Aina no Diary was written.
