Since the night Hanako had kissed me, I refused to come visit him. No matter how much Nene and Kou begs me to, I refuse. Currently I was forced to stay in class by Teru; otherwise I'd get a detention.
I crossed my arms and laid my head on them as the teacher droned on and on about Emperor Nobunaga and his wife. Looking out the window, I saw Daikon and the rest of her class gardening. Sure looks like a more fun activity than this one.
"That's all for today. Tomorrow we'll have a quiz about what we just learned."
A series of groans resounded in the class and as if on cue, the dismissal bell rang for lunch and I quickly stood up; leaving the classroom in the process.
Now I was currently on one of the stairwells, but I made sure I wasn't on the Misaki Stairs like last time. I had earbuds in as I scrolled through a blog about new video games, unaware of an approaching prince.
"Usagi..? Usagi-chan? Karasuma? Love of my life?"
Teru repeatedly called out from behind the sitting form of the dual-haired girl. He raised a brow when she didn't even respond to his last nickname for her. So he resorted to shaking her shoulder.
"Usagi-chan!"
Said girl flinched and nearly dropped her phone. Fumbling with it for awhile before she successfully and safely caught it; she glared at the school heartthrob after her little fiasco.
"What, Mitsubachi?"
Teru sweat dropped at the tone she used and scratched his cheek. "Umm... Did I startle you?"
I squinted my eyes at him as I could clearly see anime sparkles around him. Rolling my eyes and putting away my gadgets, I gave him my full attention. "Sorry. What do you want?"
Prince charming's eyes widened slightly as that was the first time he ever heard her apologize. And with a soft tone at that. He cleared his throat and rubbed the back of his neck as his cheeks tainted with a light shade of pink.
"Can you.. meet me by the large tree later on at 4:30?"
I raised a brow as I've never seen Teru blush before. I thought about my answer for a few moments before shrugging my shoulders. We were both unaware of a toilet ghost eavesdropping on us.
"Sure. I'll meet you there Mitsubachi."
He sighed in relief before smiling his signature smile and excused himself to student council duties. I waved as I watched him walk away before returning my attention to my phone, only to realize that it was now being tampered with by one of the school wonders.
"Yoko-san, please don't play with that. It's ridiculously fragile." I advised.
The little fox spirit looked up at me and tilted its head at me.
"You chose a fine boy, Usagi. Finer than that crude little toilet brat."
"Ha?"

"Nene, let's go to the confession tree. Now."
I demanded my little assistant as their conversation from earlier burned itself into my memory. I seethed as I sped walk to the tree with Nene's wrist tightly clasped in mine.
No tree, no confession, no boyfriend.
"W-Wait! H-Hanako-kun..!"
I could feel her struggling as she whimpered softly in pain but I couldn't care less. I was blinded with jealousy and all I cared about was destroying that damn tree.
My legs froze mid-action as my eyes widened at the realization.
Jealousy..? Did I.. have feelings for...
I was snapped out of my trance when Nene finally broke free from my clasp and fell down to the ground with a thud as tears pooled in the corner of her eyes.
"Why won't you listen to me?! I was hurting!"
She cried as she cradled her wrist and I could clearly see a bruise forming. My shoulders slumped and my mouth gaped as I tried to process what I had just done.
"I-I.. N-Nene..." I was at a loss for words as I stumbled to find the right sentence.
Nene snapped her tearful gaze to me as her bottom lip quivered. She stood up shakily and I tried to walk over and help her when she held out her uninjured hand out to stop me.
"Stop... Hanako-kun.. Just please, let me rest.."
She muttered weakly as she started walking away. All I could do was stand there frozen as the event repeated itself over and over in my mind. I hurt Usagi and now Nene too?
