Snippet #2060830

Yuma was not surprised by the reactions in the room. Part of being and idol also meant you had to be an excellent actress. Of course Yuma wasn't completely acting, the blush was real. She was nervous and scared, afraid that he might have not seen it but also embaressed that she had said such a thing and was openly talking to him with such an audaciously confident aura. It was hard to believe that she was able to do this as it is, and yet she was now openly showing her affection. She quickly recovered from this state though. After all: how could she keep this up if she wasn't able to handle meeting him? Her manager would he ashamed of her if she knew that she had given up so easily. (Even more so if she knew that this was all an elaborate plan.)

It looked as though his friend emnediatly understood that their was something going on, but it appeared as though Shin was completely dumbfounded. He wasn't moving, speaking, he didn't even look as though he was speaking for the first few moments. its working!!! He must be thinking about what I had said! Maybe he has fallen with me instantly! Oh my goodness, what if he thinks I look pretty?! Yes, this pop-star was thinking exactly that, in that ignorant,m outrageously confident manner. Then again, how could she not. She WAS a pop-star after all. If anything she was just being true to the colors that were given to her.

“What?! How come you know Shin?!... He’s too quiet! And as far as I know you’ve never met before! I know it since I’m always with him!! Shin!! Why didn’t you tell me anything? Aren’t we supposed to be friends?! Why are you keeping secrets from me? Why?!” Kyo's tone was near hysterical.

***

Yuma realized that quite suddenly this situation had turned in a very different tone towards her. She looked towards Shin who was still quietly keeping to himself, hiding his emotions from her and his friend. She wasn't expecting his friend to be so surprised, was it that odd to like someone such as Shin? Or rather, was it that odd for someone such as Shin to like her? It was a confusing thing, but then again they were best friends so she wasn't planning on taking anything for granted.


Quite suddenly the room became incredibly silent. All looked towards the emotionless boy, as if expecting more of a reaction, as if expecting him to either freak out or to act completely calm and confirm everyones suspicions about something going on between the infamous pop-star and school hotty! People seemed to be leaning in, some were even not breathing, wanting to hear what the cold-hearted, smart, and dedicated boy would do in this situation, trying to see if the hype in the news was true!!!

“Please come with me, Yuma Ku-san.” He finally stated taking off Kyo's hands. There was neither fury nor happiness in his tone. He cast the girl glance before gesturing to the courtyard outside. He walked to the door, waiting until the pink-haired idol followed him.

***

Yuma was so confused, she didn't know what to think of how he addressed her. She couldn't tell anything, not a single thing. It scared her, she was worried that he may end up yelling at her or something. Maybe he was dating someone? Quite suddenly she developed cold feet, incredibly cold feet. She thought about running out of the door, perhaps leaving school? She shook her head and took in a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She couldn't leave now! She had to do this, this was the only way... she put on a smile and nodded her head, forcing herself to step out of the room.

Immediately the room became filled with voices as Yuma left the room. It was almost instantly.

"Oh my god?! What do you think is going on?!"

"Maybe he's going to confess to her as well?!"

"What?! Already?! No!"

"I don't know, was he happy? I couldn't tell..."

***

Yuma walked slowly, she could hear both of their footsteps. Slowly and cautiously she walked. It was too quiet, it was almost like time was slowing down. She cleared her throat and caught up to him, smiling at him as they made their way towards the courtyard.

The courtyard was quite beautiful. considering this school was so exclusive about the people they let in they ensure that those people get what they deserve. It was a large garden filled with fountains, flowers all around. Though it was in the complete eye of the school to ensure that students would not skip classes, it still was quite a beautiful place that was somewhat secluded.

Turning towards Shin, Yuma began to speak. It was too quite, "You know, we could be late for homeroom... Won't people worry? Are you sure you don't wanna talk some other time, Asuka Shin-kun..." She said softly, since he had addressed her that way she had only done it by accident. She didn't meant to use such formalities and she cursed herself silently for ever addressing him that way. The only way she would be able to get close to him is if she acted close and confident!

Though she said that she was interested in meeting him. "I am sorry about this morning, I realize that must've been a huge inconvenience for you," She said with a giggle. She batted her eyes and tried not to blush (Though actually wasn't trying at all.)

"So Shin," She forced herself out of the formalities, "What is it you want to talk about?"

She began to walk around slowly, touching the flowers as she looked for a pretty flower (mostly because she didn't think she could be so confident around him alone). "Perhaps about this morning?" She touched a petal, smiling to herself.

"Perhaps about where I am sitting? Or me being here..."

She slowly turned around, "Or perhaps, my intentions?" She said, her face becoming incredibly red. She looked right in his eyes as she spoke, smiling softly.
