6. Chapter 6 (1/2)

a/n: so the relationship between kuroko and mikoto right now is slightly confusing. they can be considered friends, but they still somewhat hate each other (or at least kuroko does, we never know about mikoto ;) the whole fanfic will be written in kuroko's point of view, because i want mikoto to be a little mysterious. there may be some special chapters in mikoro's pov though :) if you have any question just pm me :)

i'm really, really, really sorry about this super slow update. i was busy with all the school work and neglected the fanfiction. i'll try to update as regularly as possible this summer, but i can't promise anything when school starts cause i'll be senior.

since that day, she has come to the rooftop every lunch

eak. she doesn't want to sit with kongou mitsuko, who tries to destroy her appetite every chance she's got, and besides wannai-san and awatsuki-san, she isn't particularly close to anybody else in class. so one day, she decides to eat on the rooftop, just to finds out that the one and only misaka mikoto goes there every day. however, she never sits closer than 10 meters near mikoto.

"how many times do i have to assure you that i don't bite?" mikoto says casually.

"i just hate the smell of cigarette." kuroko huffs and responds. "plus, i have no intention of having lunch with you."

"suit yourself." mikoto shrugs and puts off her cigarette.

they sit in silence again until kuroko speaks up curiously.

"don't you ever actually eat anything for lunch? are you in a diet?"

"i…already ate. i always get hungry before lunch so…" mikoto scratches her face a little and the tips of her ears redden.

how can you get hungry when you literally do nothing all day?

kuroko turns to look at mikoto, then contemplates before asking.

"why do you go to school? it's not like there's anything left for you to study."

"what do you think?"

"if i know i won't be asking." kuroko replies, feeling frustrated at mikoto asking back.

"well, obviously not for studying."

realizing that she's avoiding the topic, kuroko keeps her mouth shut and finishes her bento, feeling more frustrated than ever.

"well, since i actually do have to go to class, i'll be going."

holding her bento, she stands up and starts to walk away.

"see you tomorrow, kuroko." there's something in mikoto's voice that makes her think the older girl doesn't want her to go just yet.

yeah right. you are imagining things again.

almost to the door, kuroko stops and turns around.

"oh right, i forgot to ask you. do you want to meet the group after school today?"

kuroko has been thinking about this for quite some time. as she has accidentally invited mikoto to go with them, with all the things that can happen during the trip, it is best that mikoto at least meet her group before the trip. she has already informed the group about mikoto sudden participating and apologized for not asking them. they had no objection and agree to meet her today.

"the group?" mikoto asks in confusion.

"you know, the field trip group." answers kuroko, raising her eye

ow.

"why?"

kuroko frowns and looks at mikoto incredulously.

"shouldn't you get to know them before actually going on a trip with them? we won't like sitting in awkward silence the whole time."

mikoto just shrugs.

"i already know you. plus, we can just introduce each other on that day."

"we are going with a group, not just you and me."

mikoto averts her eyes, hesitated. kuroko then realizes that mikoto is trying to avoid this for some unknown reason.

"is there a reason why you don't want to meet them?"

"no, it's not like i don't wanna meet them. i just don't feel really comfortable."

you were pretty normal when we first met, if not arrogant and annoying.

"well you will have to do it sooner or later so might as well get it done."
