Soon enough, we got to our destination. Which was the boardwalk.

"What are we doing here?" I asked.

"Let's watch the night sky. I find this inspiring."

Ota sat down, and raked a hand through his soft hair.

"O... kay?" I sat down beside him, and enjoyed the view.

There was an awkward silence, but I don't think Ota minds it.

Trying to break the silence, I spoke "Umm... what do you wanna be when you grow up?"

Ota turned away, his shoulders shaking.

"What? What's wrong?!"

"Haha! Megumi..., that's so childish. 'what I wanna be when I grow up?'. Hahaha!!" Ota laughed as he held his pained stomach.

I crossed my arms, and glared at the guy rolling on the floor.

"Hmph. I should take my leave then!" I turned my head to the other side, then stood up with a displeased expression on my face.

I would like to go home and study, than to waste some time here.

"No regrets? hmph!" I smirked.

Without Ota noticing, I ran to the bus stop, and went straight home.

~~The next 2 weeks~~

I was about to enter my class, when someone grabbed me by the arm, then covered my mouth with a handkerchief. There was some strange scent on it that caused me to black out.

***********************************
I opened my eyes, and saw myself inside a warehouse, hands tied to the back of the chair.

I rolled my eyes.

This is too cliché...

A spotlight opened, revealing a half-naked guy who has his back turned.

Oh no... this not just an ordinary kidnapping, is it? Is this... no, no, no!

I acted as if this was nothing. My eyes didn't show any fear. But, beneath those eyes is... honestly, a scared girl.

"What do you plan to do now?" An unfamiliar voice asked. It's not the half-naked guy who was talking.

"Who are you? Free me now!" I demanded without any hint of fear in my voice.

"Oh... That will ruin the fun, won't it?"
The voice spoke, then a guy came downstairs.

He pointed a gun at me, and something clicked.

"If you want to live, then do everything I say." he said.

I gulped, and nodded. My whole body is trembling with fear. I know for you this is not terrifying, but if you experience this, you'll understand me.

"Good, now..." He started unbuttoning his shirt, and threw the gun down.

My heart beated fast, and I felt like crying. I only felt it! I didn't really cry!

I closed my eyes shut, but unlike in some movies or books, which when the victim closes her eyes someone will save her or it was just a joke, he placed his hand on my cheek, and I can feel his breath on my cheeks.

Oh no...!

The guy started to pop open the buttons on my shirt, but... he stopped.

I opened my eyes.

"Maaan! I can't take this anymore!" The guy said.

He puffed his cigar, then placed a hand over his head.

He went to the back of the chair, and released me from being tied.

"Oh... thank you..." I said, rubbing my wrist. Wait a minute, why am I thanking him????????

"This is just a prank. Mamoru Kishi by the way." he offered his hand, which I took, and we both shook hands.

"Megu-"

"I know. Megumi Yukino."

"Okay, so who planned this?"

"A friend of mine."

"Who?"

"You probably know him, he's Eisuke Ichinomiya."

"That jerk! And, who is that half-naked man over there?" I pointed.

"Oh that, that's just a mannequin." he said. "Anyways, bye!" With that, he left the warehouse.

I suddenly remembered that I still have classes left.

"Oh ¢*@₽!" I ran back to my school, my heart thumping loudly.

Is it because of my running, or because of nervousness? I can't believe that he would put effort in bullying me! I hate that guy!

I ran as fast as I could that my legs got tangled with each other.

"Ahhh!!!" I tripped, and scraped my knee. I didn't mind it; I just continued to run back to school.

"Phew! Made it!" I panted, and entered the classroom. I sat on a chair near Therese.

"Whoah, what happened to you?" She asked.

"Been running." I said, and pulled out a notepad and pen.

"Did someone...?!" She gasped, her hand on her mouth.

She looked at my chest. I shook my head quickly, my eyes widened. "N-no! It's not what you think!" I closed the buttons of my shirt.

"Who did that to you?!" She angrily asked. "Who?!"

"No one! It's a misunderstanding! You see... I..." I told her what happened, and she believed in me. She really believes in everything I say, because she knows I won't lie.

Or is she really that gullible? Hey! Stop it 'me'!

"Why did he even bothered to prank you?"

"I don't know..., maybe he hates poor people."

"Oh don't say that! You're not poor!"

"Let's face reality. I am. I don't belong here."

Therese pouted, and the boys quickly noticed it. They started to girdle around her, and they even want to court her!

"Hey! Go back to your seats!" Therese yelled. The boys obeyed her hesitantly, but kept their eyes on her.

A few minutes later, Eisuke and Ota came in.

"Hi Megumi!" Ota greeted, waving his hand.

"Hi!" I replied. I noticed Eisuke smirking. Probably because I still came in time, even if he tried to prank me.

Sorry Ichinomiya! But I'm no ordinary girl! Bwahahaha! *evil laugh*

I didn't know an evil grin spread across my face.

"You're scary." Therese said.

"Oops... sorry!" I smiled.

***********************************
~Lunch Time~

We both dug in on our food, when...

"Ouch...!" I said. An empty bottle was thrown on the back of my head.

I turned around, but there was no one behind me.

I shrugged my shoulders, and continued to eat. I can't help thinking that that was Eisuke.

After we ate our meal, I excused myself to get a bottle of juice. But when I stood up...,

"Gyaaah!" I slipped, and fell on the floor.

"Grrrrr!" I gritted my teeth, while punching the wet floor. There wasn't any puddle here earlier!

"Are you alright?" Therese helped me stand up, then she fixed my hair and skirt.

"This is most likely part of Ichinomiya's bullying!" I said. Ever since he bullied me, I called him Ichinomiya instead of his name.

"Are you sure? Maybe this was just an accident."

"No. Slipping on the floor, sure. Maybe it is. But, a bottle flying in mid-air. Surely, it is Ichinomiya who did this!"

"Maybe it's someone. But not him. And why do you call him Ichinomiya?"

"'Cause, I hate him."

"He could be mean sometimes, but h-"

"Wait a minute! Why are you protecting him?! Don't tell me you're 'in love' with that jerk?!"

Therese looked around with wide eyes. Good thing there was no people around.

She sighed, "What if I am?"

I furrowed my brows in disapproval.

She can't fall in love. What about graduating in peace, and no love? What about that, huh! She can't fall in love, especially with the one who bullies me! That... Ichinomiya!

"What about our promise?" I asked sadly, yet angry at her.

"Yeah... I know I broke it. But please, be supportive, as my bestfriend." she pleaded with puppy eyes, her hands clasped together.

"Fine..." I sighed. "But that doesn't mean I'll like that Ichinomiya guy! Grrr! I hate him!!!" I shouted. I can't help being angry. I always get angry whenever I hear his name! Argh!!!

"Thank you..." she mumbled.

I raised my hands, and sat down again. "Megumi..." she whispered. She held my hand, and gently squeezed it. I stared at her, confused.

*KRRRRRIIIIINNNGGG*

"There's the bell." she smiled. Her smile really reached to her eyes, as the rosy cheeks complimented it.

"C'mon!" Therese yelled.

"You go first. I'll catch up later."

"Why?"

"Just go."

"Fine... if you say so."

She finally left. I started arranging my things.

I finshed arranging, then stuff them in my bag. I put on the right strap, then the second.

I was about to leave the cafeteria, when...
