Chapter 2

First Plan

Misaki dumped the stack of papers onto her desk. That specific pile contained all of Usui's information that she could find; both from school and from online.

She wondered how she'd stooped low enough to stalk him. This was insane... why was she doing all this to fulfill a stupid challenge? She didn't exactly have an answer.

Sighing, she began going through the papers, one by one. This continued for awhile until she found something that caught her eye:

Usui Takumi

Birthdate: April 27

Class: 2-2

Age: 17

Due to a full scholarship, this student will transfer from Seika High School to Miyabigaoka High on April 31st.

Misaki blinked, unable to believe what she was seeing. Firstly, Usui's birthday was in three days. If she found some way to celebrate, that was sure to give her an advantage in accomplishing her goal.

But more importantly, he was transferring schools in a week. That meant she only had seven days to make him fall for her. That made things a lot more difficult...

"Suzuna?" Misaki called cautiously.

Her sister glanced up at her questioningly. "What do you need?"

The older girl stared at the ground, lost in thought. "I was wondering... do you have any shoujo mangas?"

"Yeah. Volumes of them," Suzuna replied. "I used to like them a lot when I was younger. Why?"

"C-Could I see them?"

"How many?"

"All of them," Misaki stated hastily.

Suzuna stared at her, surprised by her sister's strange request. Misaki barely read manga, and when she did, it was never shoujo manga. "Well... sure, if you want them," she answered after a moment of hesitation.

Misaki smiled gratefully. "Okay, thank you!"

She found her sister's old favorite mangas, and started flipping through them, one after the other. After awhile, she got an idea of what went on in them.

She had it all planned out. She'd confess to Usui in the most cliché, kawaii style she could possibly manage. It would be like a scene straight out of a shoujo manga. He'd be sure to fall for that. Right?

It was time. She was going to do it.

"U-Um..." she stuttered. "Takumi-kun…?" 'Shoot... did I just say his first name? Well, that's how I'm supposed to do it, right?'

He turned to glance at her, looking disinterested. "Hmm?"

"I know you may never give me a chance, but you're everything to me..."

She wanted to punch a wall. 'Ugh, no! It needs to be even cheesier...'

"You make me smile every day... I'll never forget this feeling."

'What else should I say? Hmm… I need something even more sincere... so much that it's almost poetic!'

"If you'd let me be with you for eternity... until infinity... I promise..."

Her voice was sweeter than sugar. For one painful moment, she forced the cutest expression on her face that her features could possibly allow.

"I'll never stop loving you."

She exhaled, satisfied with her efforts. 'I did it! That was completely manga-worthy! Maybe I have a future as a voice actor, because that... was... spectacular.'

She looked up, waiting to see his reaction. But his face remained expressionless, just like it always was. "Disappointing," he stated nonchalantly. "You're just like all the other fangirls. So... boring."

Misaki stared at him, too shocked to speak. He turned to leave, when she managed to utter: "Wait!"

He didn't turn around to look at her, but she knew that he was listening. "You don't get it, do you? You don't understand how hard it is for your fangirls to confess to you." Somehow her frustration didn't quite seem to fit into words.

"Why should I care about how life is for them?" he replied evenly. "I don't know them."

Misaki gritted her teeth. "Some people spend years trying to say the words. When they finally do, what gives you the right to treat them like that?" She demanded.

Her voice wavered indistinctly. "It... hurts them. It's not like you would understand, but heartbreak is painful. It's like losing something that made your life worth living."

She didn't quite know why she was standing up for a bunch of heartbroken girls that she didn't even know. But she was, and she was determined to make him understand.

"You have so many fangirls, but don't forget that they're all real people..." She trailed off. "They're not just there for your entertainment. Remember that… okay?"

For the first time, Usui turned around. Something flickered in his normally emotionless eyes, like a flame that had been ignited from ash and dust. "It's going to take more than that to make me fall for you," he stated simply. "But… you're more interesting than I thought."

This was originally two different chapters, but I merged them into one (which is partially why it took so long). Still a (relatively) short chapter, though, since I suck at making them long ;.;

Seriously, though, you guys... 20 reviews?! I'm super shocked ; A ; I don't deserve this, thank you! It really made my entire week. ❤
