Expressed love towards the Wielder Of The Pen.

"If you stop now feet,we will not even be able to go home and feed Cookie.Now does our little friend deserve such a fate of starvation to befall him because we are scared?"
I can't believe i am having to talk myself into getting out of the car.
I also can't believe that both the long known fellows in this car are staring at me like i am in need of an asylum.Arata just laughs off my mania for a moment which does not for a second make his mother look at me any less than a little crazy.
I thank her but offer no other comment as i walk slowly up the path to our school.
Shigata High.

Arata doesn't miss a bit,he practically runs up there to meet his friends,all of which he made at his other school when he transferred out of Kyoto the last two years.I make no effort to speed  up my misery so i put in my ear buds and play some instrumental music i have been playing around with as my feet lumber on unhappily forward.

Then it begins to happen.
Stares.
More stares.
If i were something insanely beautiful or rich i would perfectly understand but i am okay looking and poor in extra cash.
"Well if it isn't Lady Feral...or is it the Beast of Kyoto?"
"I heard it was The Wildcat of Kyoto now...!"
The boys tag in with the girls,they that still have remained at this school who witnessed the event that has led to me being called a feral animal that scares bears,is still following me as i knew it would.I walk forward into the fray,this battle can not be won by running so i force my way past them.
The great thing about bully girls that like her,are known for their buxom chests and flowing chestnut hair that is perfectly trimmed just like their nails,is this.
They have no fun when you do not care,at least pretending you do not care anyway.I try to eveade the grumpy sighs of the four girls that i try to forget the names of(Kie,Sokoko,Hago,and my non-friend Oiha)and try still to avoid the laugh from the boys who heckle them over the failure of not goading me into attacking them.
Again.
Feet of mine do not even get inside the building before the girls throw at me feminine goods,soda and a poor girls lunch.The boys stare at me,not taking a second to look away as the soda makes my shirt see through,i pull on my uniform jacket,hand the first year poor student my little bit of money i had left and walk inside.

"Remember...like it did not happen.Don't give them power."
I repeat this to myself as i try to make it to the bathroom before class starts.
Checking to see if i am alone and so thankful i am i moisten up some towels that a janitor who felt bad for me tossed me and try to clean my uniform,take the feminine product that happened to stick to my hair out as gently as i could.
Even the cream bun that the poor girl had sticks to my hair so much that i don't know if i can get it to come.
"Why the sticky cream bun??"i moan on the inside.

LATER

"That girl...she looks straight out of a horror movie and she is crazy?Really?She seems quiet enough to me."
"My sister was here when it happened!She said she saw when YukiKabuki went crazy after someone took her notebook from her,even after the person apologized too....She really went crazy after her parents left and i TOTALLY see why they did not take her to where they moved to after the divorce..."

I can not turn up the volume loud enough on my music.
"Remember...like it did not happen.Don't give them power"
I stare forward,hoping my black rimmed glasses work to give me the angry vibe,i pulled my waist length,straight black hair into a tight ponytail that makes me look so angry.
I hope just angry enough to be left alone to eat my lunch in peace.I reach the cafeteria some what peacefully and am trying to figure out how i will get any lunch after giving that girl all my money.

"At least she seems to be having a good time."I say softly,watching that very girl sitting next to Arata,Who appears to be telling her(very colorfully)something or other.

He begins to wave me over but the main cook,someone who has known my family and i since my grandparents went here stops me.
"Yes Makoto-San?"
The smile she has,it is so goofy like she has seen the most romantic movie scene come to life before her very eyes.
"What?"I ask so confused suddenly I forget I am playing the"Angry-Leave Me"alone girl part today.
"Did you see who sent this for you?It is by far the most romantic thing I have ever seen.You know how I love my romance films and I wish my husband could grow a romantic bone.Whoever this boy is my child HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE to him."

What she shows me stuns me so much I stand in the way of everyone,even Oiha becomes speechless standing directly behind me.

Letting my eyes follow where Makoto-San points I see it clearly.
A table outside is lovely adorned with small bouquets of sunflowers and cherry blossoms,small notebooks and novels are neatly arranged on the sides with a beautiful calligraphy set in a box that has art work of sakuras,sunflowers and myth spirits all over it.
Even a plate of Rice balls,salads,cream buns and even a powdered sugar apple.
When I walk over I find the note too that had been left for me and I try so,so hard to not do the one thing that will ruin my"Angry-Leave me-Alone"girl vibe.

"To a Lovely Wordsmith.
I shall see you soon.Share or hoard this table as you like.Enjoy the words I found for you and the set,painted it myself.
Romance is alive,so is mystery if you can find me before schools end today I will gladly give you a kiss for your sleuthing proving correct if not?
Well...I will be devastated.
I will need a kiss then to spare my heart from any further pain of you not finding me so I will find you.
Sincerely.
The 'Hopefully' love of your life."

I hate myself that I want to blush.
I view this whole cafeteria and see no one particular that would make me scream in my head "YOU!"all I can see is some very jealous girls,boys laughing at those jealous girls and Arata staring almost blushing at this sight,hiding into another direction.

That is until I hear a high pitched squeal from one of the students I do not know and then I see him.
I do not know why I am seeing this but I am and I can't for the life of me understand why he is here.
At this public school,that my family could not afford unless our family were close friends with the head of the school district.
This boy is everywhere as the most eligible under twenty,on social media as the dream of most the girls in japan(In this school too obviously)and he is here.

Every bit as sparkly eyed as he was as a child,just taller and more built(He wears the uniform very well at the shoulders but I did not notice)and that smirk,that same smirk as before.
He just sent it my way when I stare at him hard like I would a foe at the arcade.

He smirks and my face the traitor it is blushes.
"Don't smile.Don't smile...."
I play on repeat like a song until I leave school.

Because I haven't got that smirk out of my head for over a decade and now it will be at my school every.
Single.
Day.
Before i can leave though I find another note,it reads as follows.

"To a Lovely Wordsmith.
Worry not,I am not that forward.A rain check on kiss I accept but I will expect a kiss in the future and with interest.
Mine is quite high but I am a gentleman so fear not.
With a heart ever yours.
The Heart Of The Sword.
Also who wishes to be the love of your life."

I can not get to the bus fast enough.
