Just Unique: Beginning

CHAPTER VII

Romeo

I decided to go outside for some fresh air. Was Yuki blushing? I thought. I threw a rock and it skipped in the lake.

"Hey, you shouldn’t be out here alone." a voice said. I turned to see Ember. I sighed and let him sit next to me. He gave me a friendly shove.

"You know, I never knew Yuki could blush,” he laughed. I laughed too. So he did blush, I thought. I felt a soft shove. I looked over to see Ember’s big smile. It started to creep me out.

"What is that smile for?" I demanded. All he did was give me that smile. I started to get angry. "Well," I said impatiently. Ember laughed.

"You like him, don’t you?" he said. I gave him a smile.

"Well, yeah. He's my friend, more of a best friend if you ask me," I answered. He shoved me again and laughed.

"Liar, I mean you 'like' like him. You know kissy-kissy face," Ember teased and puffed out his lips. My face turned red at his words and I turned away, with my hands in my face.

"No I don’t. Don’t say stuff like that, you're so mean,” I said shoving and making him fall over. I got up and walked to the house. Ember got up and followed me.

"You do! You do, I can see it in your eyes! Don’t hide it, Romeo! ‘O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?’” he yelled behind me.

As I walked in, I ran into Shino.

"Sorry, why is Ember quoting Romeo and Juliet?" he asked. I didn’t answer at first. Ember was still quoting words in the background as everyone walked up.

"What’s going on?" Sayu whispered in my ear.

"I'll tell you what’s up," Ember said, and scared me right out of my skin. I was turned around and got poked in the forehead.

"This little boy, is in love," he chanted.

My face was getting redder and redder. I tried to break away, but it was no use. They had me and started to ask me the persons name.

"I'll tell you the name!" Ember announced. They all looked at him. I stared at him big eyed. "The name of the lucky person to win dear Romeos heart is--"

Just then, a loud scream comes from Yuki’s room. We all stopped what was going on and ran to his room. He was screaming like someone was trying to kill him. We all shook him, trying to wake him up. His eyes flew open wide and shot straight up. He was pail and sweaty, looked as if, he saw a ghost. Yuki brought one hand to his head the other to his necklace. His breath wouldn’t slow and he couldn’t talk. He looked up and we got eye contact. I wanted to pull him into a hug after seeing his eyes like that. They were filled with fear and confusion.
