Chapter 19
Yuna's POV
After that incident happens in the swimming class, things seem already calm down.
Lure is also no longer harassed by other students. Mostly because Mr. Seiji warned all of them. It happens the day after the incident in the pool.
He spoke with the school director to gather all the students to warned everyone that if someone tries to cause any harm again to Lure, he will make sure that person will suffer and not just them also the people they value most, from their family and to all their friends as well. He really looks so terrifying at that moment. Of course, everyone was so scared.
The student who pushed Lure received expulsion but Lure talk to the school director to just let it go.
After that, all students realize that she is not as heartless as they know. So she gets more respect from them.
***School Cafeteria...
"Waaah!!! This is amazing we are eating with Lure."
Romina said with her face clearly showing her happiness joining us for lunch.
Now that things calm down and everyone knows already that I am close to Lure we can finally eat together in front of other students.
"I can't believe this is really happening, seeing you three together is something next to impossible. You three is actually like sun, moon, and earth you are all orbiting in one galaxy but it's really impossible to be so near to each other."
Chio said looking at the three of us with flashing eyes.
"Eh! Why we are like the sun, moon, and earth?"
Mikan asked frowning.
"Well, Yuna is like the earth full of life that is why both of you like her. Lure is the sun that shines so bright but if the earth will approach the sun, Earth will be burned. Mikan is the moon which is obviously the opposite of the sun so you shine most when the sun is not around. So the moon and the sun can't shine in heaven at the same time because one way or another one will cover the other like an eclipse..."
Chio explained...
"What kind of metaphor is that..."
Mikan looks at her with her eyes half-open.
"I think you are all just overreacting to this. Why is it so impossible for us to be closed together?"
"Ah! Then let me explain it...We all know how Mikan is like so obsessed with you then suddenly you became close to Lure whom everyone sees so impossible to approached before and on top of that there is also that issue about Akira..."
Romina stressed out explaining...
I took a sigh. That issue again. When will that die down? I grab a glass of water.
"Yeah, she is right! If you are all not girls, it's like you are in a love triangle..."
Chio exclaimed and I just spewed all the water that I'm drinking in her face.
"Sorry! sorry! sorry!"
I apologize, putting my palms together.
That shocked me!.
I turn my head on my left and Mikan just concentrating on her food. I guess she doesn't care. Then I turn my head on my right where Lure is also sitting beside me. Her face turns red.
I return my eyes in front of me to look at Chio and Romina.
"Hahaha! That is so funny...where did that come from?"
I said scratching my head.
This is so dangerous...I don't know what to say...
"Uh! hey, can we join?"
Aoi asked who just came in. She is with Takeo the huge guy in our club. It's amazing that he follows Aoi around.
Uh?
Did he just avoid my eyes? Takeo is always acting weird. He is such a huge guy but he seems always shy whenever I look at him.
"Sure, you two can join us but there is no more seat available."
I said looking around to search for any available seats.
"That's easy..."
Aoi said with a sly smile.
Aoi tap Takeo on the arm. Takeo stares on the table next to us and the students sitting there went out the door shaking with fear. Is this why she wants him to accompany her?
I just sigh and lowered my head.
We all sit together eating and laughing.
It's fun to be with them.
"Yuna..."
Lure called my name softly. I turn my head to her with a chopstick in my mouth.
"I am really thankful that you became part of my life. Without you, I will not be able to experience how fun to be surrounded by other people. Things are different since I met you. You always make me happy..."
I feel the time just stop there for a moment... I feel so warm and my heart beats so fast. I know I'm blushing without seeing my face.
"It's not all because of me. It's because they just know now how kind you really are..."
She blushes at what I said and continue eating her food.
I just look at her with a warm smile on my face.
she is so beautiful...I still can't believe how lucky I am being loved by her...
"Excuse me!"
I raise my head. There is a guy standing behind Lure.
He is holding a white envelope.
Another confession...
"I am Raku from class 2-C. I put all my feelings in this letter I hope you accept this!". He said bowing to Lure with his hands holding the white envelope raised towards Lure.
Lure turns her head and she faces him emotionless.
"Just throw it away. You are interrupting our lunch."
Lure said coldly then she resumes eating her lunch. I feel bad for that guy. There are things that will never change...her still being cold to people she doesn't like and guys are always so attracted to her...she's receiving more confession than before.
"Yuna are you not even bothered by that?"
Mikan whispered at me.
"Why would I?"
"Tsk! so dense...How long will you stand it, I wonder?"
Mikan said shaking her head.
****
The next day...
All students lined up in the morning assembly. Mikan just finished delivering her speech on the stage. Suddenly Akira went up there...
He holds on the mike tightly. His brows drew together as he faces everyone...
"My name is Akira Ryuu...sorry for being quiet and I just realize I have been a coward all this time. I want to say sorry to Yuna who has been with me no matter how weak or coward I am...and I'm so sorry because even you loved me I was not honest with you."
Akira said looking at me with a very serious face then he turns his head to another place.
He looks behind the student who is in line.
"and...Lure Shiroi...sorry for all that happens recently... I want you to know...I like you since the very first time I see you so will you go out with me..."
He said intently looking to Lure with all his courage and waited for her answer. I turn my head back and forth to Akira who is on the stage then to Lure who is standing behind the line with other students. I anxiously look at them...
So he is in love with Lure...I suddenly feel fear inside my heart...
I feel like my world is turning around...I close my eyes.
[Chruch bell ring...]
What am I hearing now? I open my eyes slowly...
I am sitting inside a church now with people I don't know...
What am I doing here?
I look at myself and I am back to my 28-year-old self...with my long hair and more mature body wearing a blue lacy dress.
"Lure..."
I am shocked by seeing her slowly walking down the aisle in a wedding dress.
Why so sudden I'm back in the present?
It doesn't matter. I can't just let this...I stand up and run towards the aisle.
"Please stop this...you should not marrying him!"
I shouted on top of my voice from the back.
Everyone turns their heads on me flabbergasted.
I look at their faces.
What should I do?
Akira was looking at me stunned.
I look at Lure who still turned her back at me.
"Yuna..."
I snapped out when a familiar voice called out my name from behind.
****
(Yuna's highschool self POV)
I felt like I was in a deep sleep and I just woke up.
I slowly open my eyes and I am standing in line with other students...
How did I get here?
"Yuna..."
Someone called out my name from behind.
I turn around and I see Mikan standing there.
Uh? Where am I?
"What is going on?"
I asked still wondering.
"What you will gonna do Yuna?" Mikan asked looking intently into my eyes.
What is she asking me?
I am still so confused... I look around. All the students are here. They are all staring at the stage with a surprise face and they began talking to each other...
"I told you he is?"
"I knew it!"
"I'm not surprised..."
Ah! Why is Akira on the stage and who is he staring at so intently?
I followed his gaze and the person he is looking at now is a beautiful girl from another class. Who is she again? She is the top student, right?
"Will you go out with me?" Akira asked looking sincerely into her eyes.
Wait! what is he saying?
Am I having a bad dream? I almost fall down in shock.
I feel my tears are welling from my eyes...
I don't understand what is happening now?
He is my boyfriend, we are dating so what is he saying...
My head turns down.
"This is too much. I already had enough..."
That girl muttered.
Huh?
I snapped out hearing her voice...
My tears run down from my cheeks and I just wipe it with my hands. I raise my head and I try to look at that girl...she also stares back at me but the way she looks right into my eye is kinda strange...she seems worried, it's like she knows me...
She composes herself and turns her head to Akira and to everyone. She looks at them with a very serious look in her eyes.
"I already have someone that I love and that person is...Yuna." That girl said straightforward.
All turn silence...
I am still wiping my tears from my cheeks but then I pause after hearing her words...
Huh?
...What did she say?
I'm trying to process in my mind what she just said...
It was a long moment of silence for everyone...
"What!!!" Everyone screams in shock. Their jaws dropped and their eyes widened in disbelief as they turn their heads on me.
"Eeeeh!!!"
My eyes widened, I was extremely shocked as well when I finally understand the words she just said...
Are you kidding me! What in the world she just said! This is crazy...what kind of bad dream am I having now?!!!
