Monday
A month passes.
"Did you hear about the new kid coming? He's one of the best in his class from Azerian," Eclipse and Takeshi sit next to each other at a table in the lunchroom. By now they've gotten relatively close to each other and have both accepted their "roles" from Ember.
"No. When's he supposed to get here?" Takeshi looks at her as he eats his sandwich.
"Today I think. He's supposed to be in our class. I think Mr.Norio is gonna pair him with Ren since she seems to be literally destroying everyone else," Eclipse nods with a small smile.
"You know why, right? She's taking her anger out. Her anger at me," Takeshi sighs.
"How would you know?" Eclipse raises an eyebrow.
"I just, know. We make eye contact sometimes in class and when we do, I can feel her anger, her hatred," he lets out a long sigh.
"It'll be ok sweetie," Eclipse leans over and kisses him on the cheek.
"I know. I'm kind of over it I guess," Takeshi slightly smiles back. Eclipse wraps an arm around him and leans her head on his shoulder.
"Well speak of the devil," Eclipse mutters as Ren walks into the lunchroom with Mr.Norio and a new boy. The boy is the same age as Ren and as he walks, his short ginger hair slightly bounces with each step. He has light blue eyes and a short beard while his skin is lightly tanned. A few strands of his hair curl over to cover part of his forehead. He wore a dark teal V-neck t-shirt with dark blue jeans and black tennis shoes.
"What?" Takeshi looks at Eclipse with confusion.
"Look," Eclipse nods in the direction of the three, causing Takeshi to turn and look too.
"Who's that?" Takeshi studies them.
"The new guy I'm guessing," Eclipse shrugs before turning back and finishing her lunch.
"Why is Ren with him?" Takeshi mumbles.
"Takeshi, sweetie," Eclipse lets out a long sigh.
"Let's just go. I don't want to be here anymore," he sighs and starts to stand up after locking eyes with Ren for a few seconds. Her eyes were still filled with hatred and it hurt him.
"Oh, ok, yeah," Eclipse nods and starts to gather her things. The two leave the lunchroom and as they do, Takeshi can feel Ren watching him. His stomach slightly twists as they step into a hallway, causing him to stop walking and lean against the wall of lockers.
"Takeshi are you ok?" Eclipse quickly turns to him.
"Yeah. Yeah I'm fine," he stares at the ground for a few seconds before getting off of the lockers and starting to walk again.
"I don't like this," Takeshi sighs as he lies in his bed.
"What don't you like?" Maiman sat in her human form at his desk in the swivel chair.
"Ren. That new boy. I just," Takeshi sighs.
"You don't like that they're getting paired together in class, do you?" She studies him.
"I just have a bad feeling Maiman," he stares at the ceiling.
"That bad feeling is called jealousy brother," she sighs.
"Jealousy? You think I'm jea…" he pauses before letting out a long sigh.
"Ok, yeah. Maybe. Maybe I have feelings for her. But, nothing will ever happen. She remembers me now," Takeshi rolls onto his side.
"At least you're admitting it out loud now," Maiman lets out a small laugh.
"Oh hush," he grumbles.
