Love Hurts (1)

Taiga

As soon as lunch started, Sesa met Taiga beneath the sakura tree where she said to meet him.

"Hey, Taiga. Whats up?" He says cooly, flopping in the bench and laying back.
Taiga was pacing, and she seemed a little off. "How the hell can you be so cool about anything?! You truly are an idiot, Sesa." She snipped, completely flustered.

Sesa sat up. What was her deal?
"Look, Taiga, if this isnt important-"
"Shut up! It is important. Just let me think!" She replied.
"Ok, you know what?" Sesa said, standing up. He easily outweighed her and was taller than her, anyone could see that.

"We might be friends, but you treat me like shit. You need to get that fůcking chip off your shoulder, or dont talk to me at all!" He snapped. He had enough of her crap for a lifetime. She didnt start being hateful until highschool, where she completely changed.
"Shut u-"
"No, YOU shut up!" He yelled, getting in her face. She kindly backed away, suddenly looking at a new person. She had never heard him yell, and if she was honest, it was kinda scary.

"You always tell me to shut up and call me names. You need to stop! It's bullshit! And ANOTHER thing!" He said, putting his finger near her face.
He went off with no filter, naming all the times where he couldve hurt her feelings, maybe even made her cry, moving from that topic to the fact that she had changed. He cursed, ranted and raved.

This made Taiga feel strangly... Attracted to him. He had NEVER stood up for himself.

"Youve changed, Taiga. And it's a change I dont like at all. Grow up!" He finishes, crossing his arms and flopping onto the bench.
Taiga was stunned. "Sesa... I..."
He looked dead at her, snarled, then snaped, "Shut up!" as he got up and walked away, calling over his shoulder, "I guess I should thank you for changong me, cause from now on Im not a push over!"


She stood there, completely stunned by the sudden change of attitude.
Her heart raced, and her head felt light. She had only felt this way one time before. Before Sesa...
"My God..." she said, falling to her knees. "He stood up to me... He actually... stood up... to... me..."

She felt something inside her... ignite, like a raoring fire.
"Heh... That idiot stood up to me finaly. I wonder what else he'll do if iI tell him I like him." She said, sighing. "Probably just say he still liked Carly. Oh well. Sesa Okomota.."
She clenched her fists, rage taking over her. "You will be mine! This I swear!" She said, stomping back to class.
