Oh I forgot to reply to my reviews last chapter! I'll do it at the end of this. Sorry! :/
Chapter 7
As the unexplainably terrifying mood continues on, my eyes fill with tears.
A drop escapes my eyes and hits my sneaker with a soft sound.
Yami moves his hand away from the chair and stands up, as if surprised by the sudden tear.
I feel him walk my way. I can't even step back, and my eyes keep dropping the salty liquid down to the floor.
He tilts his head slightly, trying to glance at my lowered face, and asks, "You're crying?..."
Drip, drip.
"If I make you that uncomfortable, then... you sit there. I'll just go back to the dorm room and sleep or something..."
What?... Don't do that for me... Why are you sympathizing with me? There's no need... I want to tell him he doesn't have to...
He suddenly pulls out my backpack from my grasp and sets it on the desk next to his.
"Come and sit here..."
"..."
My body fills with shame- along with fear, still,- and my lips don't move on my command.
"You're just gonna stand there, or..."
Drip, drip.
He lets out a long sigh. "This is... frustrating... Follow me..."
He takes my hand in a tight hold and pulls me. At that sight, everyone's eyes widen with shock. As soon as he and I are a step out of the room, conversations explode out...
The corridors are all empty.
Why... and where... is he taking me... I can't even ask. To whoever that might have been watching, I would have looked so pathetic being dragged away by Yami.
When we're out the front gate and are standing in front of an expensive looking motorcycle, he lets go of my hand.
And he unhooks a black helmet off the back to hand to me.
"Put it on..."
I just stare at him with my round yet-to-stop-tearing eyes.
He lets out a short breath and secures the helmet around my head.
He turns on the motor and turns to me... "Hey... Get on..."
"B- but I..."
"It'll open you up. Trust me... So be quiet and get on..."
I don't know with what mind I got on the back of the motorcycle. I grab on to the back of his school jacket lightly, making him look over his shoulders at me with sharp eyes.
"You wanna fall off and die? Hold on tight!"
At his slight outburst, I wrap my shaking arms around his waist and try to grab on tighter. He's so skinny... Somehow, holding on to his thin yet firm form sends my heart skyrocketting.
And he starts to accelerate.
I let out an unconscious scream.
He snakes throughout the narrow alleys with dangerously high speed. I'm more afraid than I can remember I've ever been.
I even have a thought that I might die like this. My arms wrap around Yami's waist tighter and bury my face in his back. I clench my eyes shut and pray that this ride will be over soon.
Then the rough sound of the engine slowly starts to die down... I haven't stopped crying through the whole ride.
I quietly slide off the seat and take off the helmet.
Yami stands his motorcycle and leans on the seat slightly.
He stares at me.
"... Wasn't it scary? Like you were going to die?..."
"It was scary..."
"Is there something you fear more than death?..."
"... I... No..."
"Then do you feel brave enough to sit next to me, now?"
Wh- what? Yami...
I stare at him with dumbfounded, wide eyes.
"It's my first time... seeing an idiot like you..." He says with a grin.
It was a small smile... but I feel it being etched into my mind.
"Since you feel a little braver, shall we go back to school?..."
"Umm..."
I want to ask why he's being so nice to me. I want to try to say something...
Sensing my reluctance, he says to me first, "Don't worry... I won't go as fast this time. So get on." And he gets on himself.
He's really admirable... It feels like I don't have the right to like him, but...
Love always seems to travel beyond reason...
I'm a little reluctant to get back on, but Yami gives me a look that forces me to.
He starts as soon as he feels my arms around him. He didn't lie about going slower, but it's still too scary for my likings.
We arrive at the high school and up to our class, just as third period ends. Everyone's face has a shade of confusion as he and I enter the room together.
Yami casually walks over to his desk and sits.
I, however, come to a halt midway. All eyes are on me once more.
If I sit there again, surely Vivian and everyone else will torture me.
Is there something you fear more than death?...
I swallow hard and will myself to go sit next to him...
Yet again, the students of room 302 start to gossip quietly.
I take a peek at Vivian... Her face definitely promises me pain.
Yami, seeing that I was now seated next to him, drifts off sleep.
I lower my head and try to ignore the glares people are sending me.
His golden bangs waver slightly as the breeze from the open window linger in the room...
