Mikan's POV
"Yuna how long are you going to wallow here..."
I said in a sarcastic tone while looking at her crouching down in the corner facing the wall looking so dejected with a strange dark aura around her.
I wonder what is wrong with her?
I am currently sitting on my table, finishing lots of paper works left by Hayato, when she suddenly barged in here in the student council room.
Please don't tell me it's because of that evil leech.
"I don't know what is happening to me?"
She replied in very low energy.
This is what exactly she looks like before when she is having a problem with Akira.
I stop what I am doing and place my elbow on the table to support my head.
"Is this about Lure?"
I said with a condemning look trying to compose myself.
"I have to restrain myself...I'm beginning to lose my mind."
"Eh...What do you mean?"
She rose up and turn around then walk towards me. She stopped and just stand in front of my table looks like so confuse.
"For some reason, I am having weird thoughts because of her. Earlier I want to beat those boys who are having dirty thoughts about her to death and I want to barge in her class now because I don't want anyone to see her wearing a swimsuit. Aren't those so weird?"
She vents out. Then she exhaled to calm herself and look into my eyes.
I look at her with a blank face.
"Are you serious?"
"Come on I'm dead serious! I think I am falling for her but I don't think this is right?"
She said with much frustration in her tone hitting my table with her palm. I know already that she is falling for that girl but hearing it coming out from her still hurts me. I still need to control myself, just like before when it was Akira.
I close my eyes and exhaled. I sit up straight and look in her eyes intently.
"Are you troubled because you are both girls?"
"Yes...I can't fall for a girl."
She said with her head down.
"Then why you agreed to be her lover in the first place?"
I asked her crossing my arms on my chest.
Now she looks like she just took a big hit. She becomes more down.
Did I not tried to stop you? You could have listened to me then... Your stubbornness and way of making decisions without thinking are frustrating to me!
-Ah! I would like to say it all to her but I can't do that now. I'm glad that she still chooses to always come to me whenever she doesn't know what to do even though she said she is already a 28-year-old woman but... I hate what I feel right now.
"If you think it's not right then break up with her."
I said intently.
If you are hurt I will always be here.
*****
In the swimming pool area.
Akira's POV
"We are so lucky because our PE class also combines with their class..."
Toji said with a wide grin in his face. Like all the other boys here in the pool they are all in a daze seeing Lure wearing a swimsuit. She never attends swimming classes before so this a surprise to us all.
All students get crazy when they heard about her attending swimming class in a swimsuit. All boys from different years and classes came here to see her. That is why the teacher decided to close the pool area to other students.
They are all hopeless.
I look at Lure. I know all the other girls wearing the same blue one-piece swimsuit as her but her beauty always makes her stand out no matter what she wears and with what she wears now it attracts more attention from boys that irritates me so much.
"You look so serious Akira. Are you not happy seeing Lure in her swimsuit?"
"I am not like you," I said then I walk to distance myself from him but he keeps on pestering and following me.
"In your reaction, It's not hard to tell what is Lure to you. You just ignore people who are asking questions about you. Why don't you answer me now?"
I hate that look in his face now.
"Will you stop acting like you can read me. It's so irritating..."
"Come on Akira you have broken up to your girlfriend already so there is nothing to worry about. So why are you still restraining yourself?"
I give him a sharp look.
- Don't you dare talk about Yuna.
"Boys come on the line up now!" The teacher shouted calling us all to gather at the corner. We are all asked to sit as he begins the lesson.
I turn my head and leave him.
"They separate us from the girls?" Said by other boys who are very disappointed with this setup.
I look to the other end of the pool where the girl's side is and I see Lure standing alone. Other girls still distancing their selves from her but. just like before she doesn't care. She turns her head here.
Our eyes meet...
Huh! Did she just glare at me?
Is she mad at me because of what other students are saying about us?
I turn my head to the teacher who continues his lesson in front of us.
-I somehow like what other people are saying about us. I don't bother to deny or answer their questions because I want them all to think that way. I want people to distance themselves from her. I want all the boys to lose their interest in her because I want her to be mine only.
"Huh! Look I think girls are fighting on the other side!!!"
A guy behind me shouted. We all turn our heads. There is a girl who seems like confronting Lure.
"Is that Arisa and Lure?"
One from us asked
"It seems like Arisa loses her temper...huaah! She pushes Lure in the water."
We are all in shock. We waited for Lure to come out from the water.
No one on the girl's side attempts to help her.
"Wait does she know how to swim?" one of my classmates asked.
"Akira!" Toji shouted.
We immediately rise up and run towards the poolside to dive but suddenly a figure appeared from behind me running so fast just passed Toji and me. That person jumps quickly to the water and swims so fast to save Lure. All of us are confuse and shock as we all nervously waiting for them to come out from the water.
When they come out of the water all of us are just staring at them.
"Is that Yuna?" Toji asked with full of astonishment as he comes near me.
As both of them struggles to breathe our teachers and Mikan came to help them. They pull them out of the water. I only notice now that Mikan is here as well. I snapped out and run towards them. All the boys followed me.
"Student please move to give them some air!" The teacher said waving her hands asking everyone to move back to give them some space.
They both lay on the floor still struggling to breathe.
I run towards Yuna's side. I kneel down to reach her face.
"Hey, are you ok!" I said touching her face.
She hardly rises up to sit while she panted.
"Lure! is she ok?"
"huh?" I asked wondering.
She just ignores me and crawls passed at me to go to Lure's side.
I don't know that she is this concern to Lure.
"Lure are you ok?"
Yuna asked anxiously. She helped her to sit. Lure is coughing hardly. I move to Lure's side well.
"Aren't they supposed to be enemies?" Students started asking each other.
"Yuna you have to bring her now to the infirmary."
Mikan said tapping Yuna's shoulder.
Yuna bends down to carry Lure in her back.
"I can help Yuna!" I said as I grab her arms looking intently in her eyes so that she can just allow me to carry her.
"You don't have to....(cough!)Yuna can (cough!) take care of me. (cough!)"
hearing Lure's voice still struggling I let go Yuna's arm.
"Sorry, let me just take her. We are ok."
She said with a smile in her face...
