After everyone had found their seats in the stands there weren't a lot of seats, and on top of that, I was still unable to locate Kirito. I stood there pondering what to do next when I feel an arm slide around my neck from behind their hand grabs my left wrist as I look up above me to see who it was, my heart sank when I'm faced with a familiar face. His light unkempt brown hair still looks good and his light blue/gray eyes look deep into mine, I could feel his familiar heartbeat beating against my back. I was dumbfounded for a second and he smirks at my startled reaction.
" What's wrong Yuki? Did you miss me? "
I shook my head instantly and muttered a sad reply.
" N-no please let go of me Akira! "
I look away and try to break free but he keeps ahold of me and spins me around to look at him placing his free hand around my waist.
" Now that's no way to treat an old friend! Hey, why won't you look at me?! "
I turn my face to look at the wall while placing my free hand on his chest to try to put some distance between us.
( of all people I could have run to I had to run into this guy! Just my luck today huh? I would rather deal with Kana than this player! )
I shoot him an aggravated look
" Akira I have nothing to say to you now let go of me or I'll scream! "
He chuckles and lets go of me and backs away while fixing his tie. He gives me a shameful look.
" Yuki, how were you able to join such a high-class Academy with no background of royalty or money?"
I roll my eyes at him
"I may not be Royalty or have huge amounts of money but my skills out beat a lot of the competition here! I have to be somewhere goodbye! "
He tries to say something else but I quickly run off in the opposite direction till I'm outside of the arena I stop to catch my breath.
( Why must guys like him always think about Royalty, Money, or Purebloods. Why can't they realize that life isn't always about the title! This is why I have lied up until I got into the Academy about not having such titles, not even Akira knows...I didn't want to get in on Nobility or whatever else I wanted to see how far I could get with just my skills and prove them all wrong! )
My thoughts flashed back and forth to the hard times I had in school before the Academy, one memory stood out to me more than anything though it was the moment that Akira my former boyfriend of 2 years, and I broke up.
-Flashback-
It was 2 months after I lost my Father and brother, I had just gotten my mother discharged from the hospital and went to go tell Akira the good news.
I knock on his front door and then walk in, no one was home so I proceeded to his bedroom where I opened the door with a warm and bright smile.
" Hey, Akira guess what! "
I stopped in my tracks when I see not one but two people in his bed, Akira sits up rubbing his rugged hair and he instantly starts to freak out and stands up out of his bed with no clothes on then the girl beside him screams and covers herself with the blanket.
" Shit! Yuki what are you doing here?! "
He tries to come closer but I quickly pull away from him and swing my hand back and using full force I slap him across his face landing it right on his cheek. He stumbles back but catches himself on the dresser.
" Yuki let me explain baby please! "
I turn my face away from him as the tears rush down my cheeks.
" Akira there's nothing to explain it's obvious what happened here! You threw away 2 years of our life together for one night of pleasure I can't stand you! I hate you Akira! Never come near me again! "
I quickly run out of the house as fast as I could but before I knew it he had already caught up to me grabbing my wrist and turning me around to face him seeing him only in a pair of shorts with no shirt just made it all worse.
" Yuki I'm sorry please wait! "
I scream at him and try to slap him again but he easily dodges
" No! I will not listen to you! Leave me alone! "
He grits his teeth and tightens his grip around my wrist.
" Ow...Akira you're hurting me! "
He quickly softens his grip and I take my hand back. He sighs and then a smug look flashes across his face.
" You know what fine! It doesn't even matter, You never wanted to sleep with me anyways, and these past 2 months you haven't even so much as given me a second glance even when I was there for you when your old man and brother were killed you still didn't want anything to do with me Yuki your just too boring goodbye! "
And with that, he turned around and walked away leaving me to my self-destructive thoughts.
( was it really my fault!? Did I really push him away? )
the feeling of betrayal and guilt was too much so I decided to distance myself from a lot of people and made it top priority to just take care of my Mother. After the day we broke up rumors Started to spread throughout our small town about me. Some said I cheated or even went as far as to say it was I who killed my family. After that my reputation hit a downfall and I had even received death threats... some even came at me personally.
-Present moment-
Stuck in my trance of memories I stood by the Arena back entrance leaning up against the wall looking up at the sky. I hear footsteps approaching and turn to see Kirito, he stops beside me and leans up against the wall as well.
" The match is about to begin are you going to go watch it? "
I sit up and step in front of him, I reach up and he follows my hand with his eyes.
* Thump*
I flick him on the forehead and smile, he looks down at me in confusion.
" What was that for?? "
I keep my smile while responding
" Because you ran off without me! I was looking for u forever now! "
He chuckles.
" ok sorry about that I had something to settle, now let's go back in. "
I nod and follow him back in.
