Chereads / Under The Cherry Blosssom / Chapter 5 - Spring

Chapter 5 - Spring

The cherry blossom began to bloom making the scenery around the school more beautiful. The student in class 5-2 started to make chaos when one of their classmates notify them that their English teacher absent today.

While the class getting into more trouble, Mio tries to distract herself with the cherry blossom tree. The pinkish colour of the cherry blossom flowers makes Mio feel at ease a little. She looked at the seat beside her which is the seat belongs to Haruki.

Before, Mio didn't notice that the person besides her is Haruki cause he has rarely shown up in the class but she usually looked at Haruki behind the old school building. What does he do? Mio never cares what Haruki do at that time cause she didn't know Haruki at all. Sometimes she will saw Haruki on the rooftop sleeping or eating.

That guy is too secretive. She tried to ask Kenta and Sugawara about Haruki, they never said anything but they replied to her with a smile. Then she decides to learn about Haruki slowly cause it's already 2 months since she lives with him but he makes like Mio didn't exist at all.

To be honest, Mio once try to speak with him and woke up early to go to school with him but he just gives Mio the cold shoulder. For real, Mio feels terrible a little bit but thanks to Kenta and Sugawara she manages to stay in that home because Mio once thought Haruki might not comfortable or he didn't like the idea of she lives there so she tried to move from there.

Mio sigh when she remembered about Haruki. It's only 2 months but many things happen. She looked at her watch. Only 4 hours left before the bells ring. The familiar figures behind the cherry blossom tree caught Mio attention. She focuses her eyes to see more clearly and make sure the person behind the tree is the person that she expected.

And BOOM!

As Mio expect the person behind the tree is the guy who confesses to her last year. It surprising right? To think of a girl who doesn't stand out too much and didn't have any friend to get a confession from one of a popular boy is enough to make you surprise. Mio too. She can't sleep for three days because she's busy thinking where is the part that guy attract of?

Since that incident, she usually pays attention to that guy and not to forget, she always gets attacked by some girls that their confession gets rejected by Kaito. Kaito Ogawa is the one responsible to make Mio's life became upside down.

"What you looking at?" Said Haruki expressionless.

Mio looked at Haruki with an angry face. "Can't you give any sign to show you besides me? Since when you're here?"

Haruki laughs when he sees Mio angry face. He even closed his mouth with his hand hope that his laugh is not heard by anyone else. "You're to focus. I called you many times but you never replied to my call. Now I know why. So the rumour is true huh?"

Quickly Mio pushes Haruki's chair away when Haruki tried to sit on it. "Yes the rumour about him confess to me is true but I never going out with him."

"You waste your high school life. Didn't going out with someone and even stay away from people."

The smirk on Haruki's face makes Mio feel offended. "How about you? Get yourself into useless rumour. You even get targeted by delinquent from another school."

"At least I can tell my child that I'm a good fighter in high school. Well, fighter stands for delinquent in the dictionary." He said proudly while still keep her disgusted face.

Mio wants to talk more but suddenly Haruki stands up and going out of the classroom. Mio sigh when she realized that she has lost the chance to talk with Haruki again because she knows she has a rare chance to talk with him.

To be honest, she felt happy when Haruki talk to her and show some emotion. If she talks more with Haruki she slowly can learn and understand about him. Mio's thought stops when there is a girl starts to approach her.

"Now I'm dead." Mio whisper to herself.

"Hey there." Greet a girl with a ponytail.

Mio's mind becomes numb. She doesn't know what to do but she still smiles to returned the greeting. She pulled the chair that Haruki sits on just now. She smiles gently while her eyes stare at Mio.

Because of the stares, Mio feels uncomfortable but she still can't find out what is the girl wishes. Mio playing dumb, she smiles back and hopes the girl in front of her would feel annoying and quickly get up from Haruki's chair.

Unfortunately, she doesn't have any sign that she will leave the seat while she focusing watch Mio's faces and smiling to her ear. It gives a chill to Mio as she sees a person watching her without blinks and to think the person who stares at her for 30 minutes straight is a woman.

"Isn't that Fujiki? She is in Special Class, right? What she doing here and why she staring at Mio like that?"

"The rumour about him being lesbian is true after all."

"Is Mio likes her too?"

That's the only conversation Mio can hear, the others she can't hear because they whisper and the only sound she can hear is a wind sound. Mio faces palm when she glances at the girl who still smiles at her sweetly.

The door sound attracts people in the class. They only watched Haruki slowly walked to Mio and the girl beside her. Mio tries to give a sign to the girl and notify her Haruki already coming back but the girl didn't even care about it.

Without any sign, Haruki slaps the girl's head.

"Didn't I told you to stay away from her and stand up. This is my seat."

"Can you treat me nicely? I'm interested in this girl and I never thought you also have interest in her." Said the girl while she pats Haruki shoulder.

"Don't forget our date!"

The girl left the class and everybody in the class get silent while staring at Haruki including Mio. They can't process the scenario that plays in front of their eyes.

Can you imagine? A delinquent and a girl who has a great reputation in his school talked together. Not to mention Haruki slap the girl head spontaneously while she laugh and didn't say anything.

Mio wanna asked a question about her relationship with the girl to Haruki but he already falls asleep. Mio sigh and continued doing the works which are delayed due to the girl staring.

"I still don't know her name yet. It's Fujiki isn't it?" Said Mio by herself.
