chapter 13: i hate you!!!!!

kainan auditorium

arika happily skipped about in the auditorium.

she is ever ready to rehearse for her piece for the festival. she was about to

pick up the mike when she saw ria masahara approaching the stage. ria wa smiling

sweetly at her and this shocked arika.

"now what's with the sweet smile ria

masahara?" arika thought. ria exclaimed, "hello there

arika!" arika raised an eye

ow and said, "whoah... did you saw arika?

and i thought my name in your own words is dirt bag?" ria shook her head

and exclaimed, "oh common, now why would i call you dirt bag now huh?

you're famous all over kainan and soon to other schools after this

festival"

arika replied, "well you were calling me

that just last week" ria took arika's hand and said, "look, i'm sorry

okay? i admit i'm wrong. i guess i was jealous because you're smart and very

talented." arika gave ria a disbelieving look and said, "it must be

raining cats and dogs out side because... ria.... did you just said you're

sorry?"

"yes! i said i'm sorry! i'm sorry so can

you forgive me? i mean it, i am sorry!" ria pressed. arika smiled and said,

"i-i guess..." ria jumped and exclaimed, "oh thank you

arika!" arika exclaimed, "hey don't jump on the stage! you'll trip!

there are so many wires and cables here! ria!"

but ria didn't listened. she kept on jumping

then her feet caught up with a wire, she then tripped and fell. "ria!"

arika exclaimed approaching her. exactly kiyota entered the auditorium, ria

smirked upon seeing kiyota. she then cried, "how could you arika! i asked

for your forgiveness and you pushed me!"

"w-what?! i didn't pushed you ria!"

arika replied. ria exclaimed, "liar!" kiyota went up to the stage

saying, "what's going on here? what is this am i hearing? arika?"

arika shook her head and replied, "i didn't do anything!" ria

carefully stood up and exclaimed, "liar! you pushed me when i said i'm

sorry to all what i've done!"

arika was about to retort but ria kept on

saying, "i thought you'll still be a nice girl after the rise of your

popularity but i guess popularity hit your head and now you are even bitchier

than i am!" kiyota frowned and asked, "arika is this all true?"

"kiyota, i would never do that, common you

know me better!" arika replied looking at kiyota. ria looked at kiyota

pleadingly and exclaimed, "believe me kiyota, i learned my lesson already

remember?"

kiyota gave arika an icy glare and exclaimed,

"arika, ria approached me yesterday asking for forgiveness, she was truly

sorry for the way she acted and i told her i'll accept her apology if she asked forgiveness

to you because i know you're not a cruel person, but then again, i guess i was

wrong!"

arika was frozen on spot. "i thought you

were nice arika, i thought you're not that vengeful person, is this how low you

can get?" kiyota demanded. arika grabbed kiyota's hand and exclaimed,

"kiyota listen to me... i did nothing wrong she... she..."

kiyota jerked his hand off saying, "i've

heard and seen enough. is this how you play? just because you became famous

you'll step on other people? i was wrong, you're no angel. your personality is

as ugly as your face is! you can't be an angel of my life like veniz

was"

slap!

tears were streaming from her eyes, arika just

slapped kiyota really hard on the face. "and i thought you knew me better,

i thought you'll believe me, you are truly blind kiyota nobunaga! you can't even

see the truth from the lie! you only believe what you see but never believe in

the true reality!" arika exclaimed angrily.

"you are always like that... blind... you

just loved me because i represent veniz in talent, but i am not veniz! i am

arika fujisawa! i am different from her and just because of some act, you are

hating me, then i hate you too! i hate you kiyota, i hate you!" arika

exclaimed. "and i thought you said you will always be there for me... i was

wrong" with that she ran off.

kiyota exclaimed, "a-arika..." ria

grabbed him by the arm saying, "let her go kiyota. it only fits her, she

deserve it!" kiyota looked at ria. "don't worry kiyota, she is not

worth it after all" kiyota could only look at her thinking, "why

deep in my heart i have a singing feeling that i am wrong and arika was

right?"

school grounds

arika didn't stopped running until she reached

the school grounds. tears were still pouring from her eyes. "i hate you

kiyota!" her mind screamed. "that ria... how could kiyota

believed her than me? why?!" arika thought bitterly. she walked on not

really looking to where she was going.

suddenly she bumped into someone, she fell to
