When Love Hurts 09
*********************
Ishikawa slammed Aya’s door behind her and left her bag in the floor.
“Hey! Calm down!” shouted Matsuura “Why are you so angry?”
“Ask Miki…”
“She’s in her practice now… well, your practice too…” said Aya a little confused when she saw the sports bag “You left early?”
“It was just morning practice today”
“But Mikitty said that she was going to be busy all day…”
“Oh yeah.., I’m sure she is busy…” Rika give her back to Aya and walked towards one of the living room’s window. “… With Yossi.”
Ayaya follow the other girl. Seeing Rika-chan so angry was a new experience for her and she didn’t know what she could or couldn’t say without make her angrier.
“So...” began Aya “They are…”
“What do you feel for Miki?” said Ishikawa still looking the scenery outside through the window.
“Eh? Well, you know…, she’s my best friend” Aya replied innocently.
Hearing that, Rika can’t help but laugh. She then looked down and caressed her hair. She had to think for a moment how she could express what she really wanted to say. Everybody knew that the soloist could be a little slow sometimes.
I hope that’s not gonna be a waste of time…

“Anybody knows what’s going on with Yoshizawa-san lately?”
Makoto asked to the rest of the girls in the table. The gokkies without Kon-kon met Nono after her practice and went to the restaurant. They were going to talk about Konno’s birthday but the conversation took another direction because Mako-chan was too worried.
“She’s your friend. You should know it better than us, don’t you?” said Gaki-san.
“Yeah but, she’s not herself these days. We don’t even talk.”
“Maybe you’re the problem…”
“Ai-chan!” the other girls looked at her at the same time.
“Just joking, just joking…” said Takahashi to calm down her friends “But Mako could be right. Mikitty and Rika-chan are acting weird too. Maybe something happened…”
“That’s called love, my kids.”
The gokkies turned to see Nono, who was eating unconcerned about the bomb she just released. Then, she noticed the persistent looks upon her and realized what she had said.
“You mean they are…” began to say Risa.
“I don’t mean nothing!”
“Come ooon, Non-chan~”
“I can’t! I’ve promised Yocchan that I’d keep the secret.”
With that seemed like the gokkies gave up but nothing can’t stop Mako when she want to know something about her beloved Yoshizawa-san.
“So… Nono” said Mako “You want some cake?”

“So…?”
“I don’t know, Rika-chan!” answered Aya a quite nervous. “I’ve never though about Miki this way…”
“But you felt something when you saw her kissing Yossi…”
“Yeah…, maybe… I .., I don’t know what I felt, ok?”
Ayaya was so surprised with Rika’s questions that she even couldn’t talk properly. How did she felt when Miki kissed Yoshizawa? Until that night she was just her best friend, one of the most important persons in her life, but a friend, nothing more. She’s a girl, what more she could be? But then, she saw the kiss and something inside her wanted to run towards Miki and took her away from Hitomi.
“Aya, you have to win her back” said Ishikawa with an anxious tone in her voice.
“I don’t know how. If she’s happy with Yocchan…”
“No! I need you to win her back “insisted Rika “Don’t be so conformist. Let’s see… She told you something about being with Yossi or something?”
“Nno.. she’s very reserved with this kind of things… She’ve never spoke about relationships or feelings for someone…”
She was trying to remember all her talks with Miki about love but she just could remember herself talking about the last boy she met and Mikitty just listening. Even, one day, Aya asked her friend if she didn’t want to find someone to share the rest of her life but Miki answered as always…
I don’t need anyone as long as I can be with you.
And then, it was the first time she realized what Miki was trying to say.
“Oh my God…”
