"DISCREETLY, MY ASS! I saw you staring at me the whole day! Do you know how much it bothered me! I thought you wanted to take revenge on me or something! It was stressing me out so much!"
"But I was just trying to get a better look of the keychain. I wasn't even looking at you" Said Akatsuki-san with a oblivious expression on her face she said
"From my point of view, you were staring daggers at me!"
But wait that doesn't make sense...
"Hold up, I get you wanted to look at my keychain when I was introducing myself but why were you also staring at me during class? I mean I put my bag on the other side of my desk, so there's no way you could have seen it from your place. You would have to come to my left side to see it. But you were still staring at me even then"
Her eyes wandered a bit but she answered
"T-That's because I wanted to buy the keychain from you and was hesitating to approach you about it. I was waiting for a good moment to ask you about it"
BUY IT FROM ME!? SERIOSLY!?
*Sigh* To think the reason was that simple.....Now I feel dumb for overcomplicating it. I jokingly replied saying
"So you were too scared to talk to me.... Well can't do anything since at that time we haven't-"
She suddenly got an angry expression on her face and shouted
"What are you taking about?! I was never scared of you from the start! From the moment you entered the class I knew you weren't a bad guy!"
Woah! I only said that on a whim but I didn't think she would get this angry. Wait, then she was never scared of me and she knew I wasn't a bad person. What does she mean by that? I asked
"How were you so confident about that? Not judging based on my appearance his one thing, but why were you so sure that I wasn't a bad person without even talking to me?"
She narrowed her eyes and said
"But didn't I just say the reason now?"
"Huh?"
She pointed at the key chain and said
"It's because of your keychain"
My keychain!? This small black cat with blue eyes changed her mind?! What is she talking about? Is this keychain some sort of charm that makes me look like a good person to others. If it is, then why hasn't it worked till now? I've been having this on my bag for 2 years and this has never happened, what's the big difference now? While in confusion I asked
"What do you mean by that? What's so special about this keychain that made me look like a good person?"
She then proudly and cheerfully said as if it was a universal law
"Come on, of course you're a good person! I mean you have that keychain. There's no way a person who likes KuroNeko can be a bad guy!"
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
WHAT! SHE TRUSTED ME BECAUSE OF A KEYCHAIN!?
Low! Way too low! The bar for getting a good image in her mind is way to low! My mental image of her just plummeted down after hearing that. I thought she wouldn't trust others that easily but to think she would be swayed by a mere plastic cat....that's a little too much
I put my hand on my forehead and sighed
I don't know if this girl is innocent or just plain dumb. I need to straighten her out before she enters the dangerous and cruel world called society or else she'll get mauled by the vicious animals that reside in it
She looked a little concerned about me and asked
"Why are you looking down like that? If your worried about me asking the keychain from you then you don't have to worry, I won't take it from you. After seeing how much of a fan you are, I don't think I can ask you to sell it to me. I'll have to respect your feelings on this one"
Although she said some mature stuff just now, her face clearly showed that she was pouting over the keychain. In a downcast manner she said
"But it sucks that I got to see one in real life and couldn't get it. If I had that keychain my collection would've been complete. *sigh* Well can't do anything about it now. I guess I'll have to keep on searching fo-"
"You can have it"
Without realising what I had just said she immidiataly replied saying
"Yeah I know you won't give it...You can't possibly give something so precious to me, I mean-"
She suddenly stopped talking and looked at me as if I said something weird and said
"What did you just say?"
I removed the keychain from the phone, took her hand, placed the keychain on her palm and closed her hand and told
"It's yours now"
With a shocked expression on her face she exclaimed
"W-W-W-WHAT!!"
