Chapter Twenty-Four: Kazue’s Good Man:
-Kazue-
I do not fall in
love easily. I have no use for it. I never have. I vowed that I never will.
Then he came
along and ruined everything.
He won’t get out
of head. I go out in hopes of seeing him again. I never do this! He’s just a
man! He should mean nothing to me! But still…
I gritted my
teeth.
No! No! No! No!
No! No! There is no way in hell! Uh-uh! Nope! Not happening! But still…
Damn it! At
least Hotaru’s not making fun of me. No, she’s tied up with Mike. (Good for me,
bad for him.) I don’t need her mouth.
But, I knocked
on her door anyway.
Come on. Get out here
already!
I pretended to
act normal when she opened the door. Hotaru blinked at me half-asleep.
“About time!” I
shouted. She gave me a strange look.
“Kazue?” she
asked. “What’s wrong?” I cleared my throat.
“I need some
help,” I mumbled.
“For what?” she
asked. My cheeks turned red.
“That idiot,” I
said.
“Huh? Oh! Your
boyfriend!” Hotaru said. I gritted my teeth.
“He’s not my
boyfriend!” I hissed.
“What about
him?” Hotaru asked. I tried to think of what I wanted to say. My mouth would not
open. Hotaru gave me a cat-like smile.
“What?” I asked.
She tried not to laugh.
“You met him
again, didn’t you?” Hotaru asked. I sighed and dropped my shoulders.
“Yes,” I
grumbled. She giggled at me.
“Don’t!” I
shouted. “Just… don’t!”
“Now do you
admit it?” she asked. I gave her a funny look.
“Huh?” I asked.
I quickly shook my head. “No! Not happening!” Hotaru smiled with a look on her
fact. I backed away, shaking my head.
“Don’t do that!”
I said.
“Hello?” Hotaru
asked. “How long are you going to lie to yourself? Look at your face! You can’t
tell me there is no feeling for your boyfriend.”
“He’s not my
boyfriend!” I snapped.
“Yeah, yeah,”
Hotaru said. “Yet.” I snorted and rolled my eyes.
“Whatever,” I
muttered. I walked back to my room.
“That’s right,
run away from the truth!” she shouted at me. I flipped her off before
disappearing into my room.
What annoys me that she’s not wrong. Damn it. Looks like I have choice now. Damn it! Shit!
