Chapter Ten
Izumi walked through school, looking down at her feet, Jenny and Ivana looking at her worriedly. "Izu"Hitomi says concerned. "I'm fine"Izumi mutters brushing her friend off. "I know Shousuke hurt your feelings, but he's still your friend you know"Hitomi smiled. Izumi ran away, leaving her three friends behind. She hurried into a bathroom, vanishing into one of the stalls. "Izumi, come on out!" Jenny ran in, Izumi staying silent. "I feel stupid, I should've noticed that he didn't like me"Izumi mutters rubbing her eyes. "Open the door, Izu"Jenny says. Izumi opened the door, stepping out, tears falling down her cheeks. "Listen Shousuke is gonna miss out on how amazing you are, you'll find someone else, someone who'll really love and stick by you"Jenny smiled. "Besides, I have a friend named Caleb, who's looking for someone"Jenny grinned.
"Really?"Izumi blinked surprised. "Yeah, I think you'd be his type!"Jenny smiled relieved Izumi took the bait. "Come on, I'll take you to meet him, we have a while before class anyway!"Jenny beamed pushing Izumi out of the bathroom. Izumi stared, feeling nervous about meeting this Caleb guy after Shousuke's heart breaking rejection. "Are you sure?! What if I'm not his type!"Izumi asks. "Be confident! I'm sure he's gonna like you!"Jenny smiled. "CALEB!"Jenny calls waving to an orange haired male. "Hey, Jen!"Caleb grinned. "Heyyy!"Jenny chuckled. "Caleb, meet Izumi!"Jenny smiled. "Hey Izumi, I was about to go water the flowers outside, wanna join me?"Caleb beamed. "Sure...I like flowers"Izumi nodded. She walked away beside him, Jenny hurrying away to find Shousuke so her plan could be somewhat successful.
Shousuke sat at his desk, looking down at a book. "Shousuke, there you are!"Jenny yells relieved. He glared at her, Jenny hurrying over. "There some guy with Izumi!"Jenny says. Shousuke looked back down at his book, fighting back the instinct to go find the girl. "I think he's gonna try and make her his girlfriend, he took her outside to the flowers by the hall windows"Jenny adds on. Shousuke slammed his book down and got to his feet, running last her into the hallway. "East hallway, first floor!"Jenny calls. She smiled, feeling proud of herself. "What did you do?"Ivana grinned. "Oh just asked Caleb for a favor in getting Shousuke to talk to Izumi, we all know he didn't mean what he said right"Jenny grinned. AI nodded watching Shousuke run down the hall, a small frown appearing on her face. "Should we go watch?"Hitomi asks. "Heck yeah, let's go!"Ivana nodded hurrying after Shousuke, a wide smile now on her face.
Izumi looked at the flowers, Caleb watering them. "You're very pretty just like these flowers"Caleb smiled looking at her as he set the watering can down. "Thanks, my brother says I bloom like a flower whenever I wake up"Izumi smiled feeling a bit uncomfortable. Running feet made her look up, hearing a window open. Purple hair filled her vision as an arm wrapped around her chest. She stared in surprise, Shousuke pressing a kiss to her forehead. "Shousuke"Izumi mutters alarmed. Caleb stared in surprise, his eyes widening slightly at the sight of the male. Shousuke stared down at Izumi, his expression softening. "I love you...and I wanna be by your side"Shousuke mutters. He leaped out the window, landing in front of her, Caleb stepping back surprised. "Ah, I was talking to her buddy"Caleb says starting forward.
Shousuke shoved Caleb back, his arm wrapped around Izumi. "Mine"Shousuke scowled tightening his grip on her. Izumi blinked looking flustered. "Hey, that hurt!"Caleb glared getting to his feet. "I could care less"Shousuke glared. "Shousuke"Izumi says placing a hand on his forearm. Shousuke stared down at her, letting her go. "Come on"Shousuke says grabbing her hand and pulling her away. "Hey you two"Jenny smiled looking quite pleased with herself. "Look out"Shousuke says walking past them, pulling Izumi after him. "Shousuke, don't do anything you'd regret!"Hitomi calls after them alarmed. Shousuke pulled Izumi into an empty classroom, and turned to her, staring her down. "Why were you with him.."Shousuke demands. "You clearly didn't like me anymore, so what did you want me to do, continue chasing after you after what you said"Izumi replies. "Shousuke what you said, hurt more than anything I've ever been though"Izumi went on.
"I've never been in love with a boy before until now, and I don't know what it's supposed to be like to date..."Izumi mutters. Shousuke blinked once, then stepped closer and hugged her. "I'm sorry, I did not mean to hurt your feelings, I...I thought you really didn't need me anymore and I let that lead me to saying those mean words...but that's not really any excuse"Shousuke mutters. "If you're not ready, I will stay by your side and wait"Shousuke went in. Izumi smiled and hugged him tight. "It's alright Shousuke, we all get scared at times"Izumi says. "But at the same time, I don't forgive you, my heart still hurts from your words, so you'll have to earn the rest of my trust back"Izumi adds on. Shousuke nodded, moving back. "Alright"Shousuke says.
