Project Love : Chapter 4
A/N: For those who are curious, I got the inspiration to write this when I read a certain book but I won't be copying the whole thing so don't worry... I just borrow the project which the professor assigns to them coz I love what it symbolizes.

Chapter 4
Sitting on one of the bleachers she pretends to be busy reading a book, but the truth is she's trying her best to hide the tears which are about to fall from her eyes.
She can’t understand why those girls don’t like her, she’s trying her best to fit in and be friends with them. How could they spread nasty rumors saying she’s a flirt and dates different guys everyday, when she just transferred to this school couple of months ago.
She really regrets leaving Nagoya, her friends and her old school. She hates living in Tokyo. She hates her new classmates. She hates her new school. She hates everything around her at the moment.
“Hey, something's wrong?”
Someone suddenly interrupts her train of thoughts and when she looked up, a boy was standing before her and carefully scrutinizing her. Tearing away her gaze she look down at her lap only to realize that the book she’s supposed to be reading was already blotted with tears.
“Nothing.” She hesitantly replied
“I see. Then why are you crying?”
“I’m not.”
“Yes you are.”
“Leave me alone.”
“Ok.”
She started to gather her things and about to shut her almost drench book when out of nowhere a white handkerchief was dropped above it.
“Wipe your tears; I’m not comfortable seeing girls cry.”
She slowly dabbed her face with the said hankie and was about to hand it over to the owner but changed her mind the last minute.
“Anou…. I’ll just return it after I wash it.”
“Nah, keep it. I have box full of that.”
“Oh, I see… Thank you. By the way, I’m Mari. Hayakawa Mari and you are?”
“I’m...”
“Hayakawa san?”
Ryo’s voice pulled her back to the present. ‘Oh yeah, we’re supposed to be doing our project but here I am thinking about him.’
“Are you alright? You seem distracted.”
“No I’m alright.”
“Ok if you say so.”
So once again, they go back to their work but her mind wanders once more.
‘I don’t think I can easily let you go. Coz until now, everywhere I look reminds me of you.'
:::::::::::::::::::
“No! You’re not going home yet.”
“But we’re done.”
“Not yet!”
Kame throws his bag on the floor and slumps on Jin’s bed giving the other a murderous glare.
“Yes we are, I already searched for bluebirds. What more do you asked for?”
“Well for starters, you just gave me a basic definition of the bird” Jin glares back as he turn to his laptop and read Kame’s work.
‘The bluebirds are a group of medium-sized, mostly insectivorous or omnivorous birds in the genus Sialia of the thrust family (Turdidae). Bluebirds are one of the few thrush genera in America. They have blue, or blue and red, plumage. Female birds are less brightly colored than males, although color patterns are similar and there is no noticeable difference in size between sexes.’
“What’s wrong with that?”
“We can’t submit it like that? Even a 1st grader student can come up with that definition. All they need to do is google it.”
Heaving an exasperated sigh, Kame stood up and starts pacing back and forth.
“But that’s the best I can come up with. If you have a problem with that then better do it yourself!”
“I will not! This is a group project so it means you have to work you butt out in order for us to have a good grade and a decent project.”
“I don’t have time to sit and waste my time searching for birds! I have baseball practice, I have dance rehearsals and I have social life. But you~ you have all the free time in the world to sit and surf the net, site by site.”
Jin face Kame giving him a fatal look
“I don’t care about your activities, I have my own busy life to deal with too but that doesn’t stop me from working hard on this project. It won’t kill you or your image if you’ll just lift a finger and help me with this. I know you’re a bright boy, if only you take your studies seriously. ”
“I don’t want to be a bright boy. I want to be care free and live my life to the fullest while I’m still young.”
“Well let me inform you little boy, that when you take the college entrance exam or attend a job interview there are no such questions as 'were you popular during your high school days?” or “From scales of 1 - 10, how popular were you?’ So better take your studies seriously.”
“Hey don’t bite my head off! Geez! One minute we’re discussing about the project and the next minute you’re scolding me about being careless about my future. Chill!”
Jin’s about to answer back when someone suddenly barged in, interrupting their little argument.
“Hey hey! What’s going on here? I can hear your voices all the way to the living room” the new comer complains giving Jin a mock glare.
“None of your business.” Jin curtly answered making the other chuckle.
Letting his eyes wander, he look around the room to see who's the person Jin's having an argument with, then his eyes settled on the boy standing in the corner.
“Uuhhh… Hello… Sorry if we're too loud… I'm Jin's classmate... Uhhh... Kazuya, Kamenashi Kauzya.”
The man standing at the doorway stares at Kame making the smaller one a bit uncomfortable but at the same time he can’t help staring back at him, not until he gave Kame a smirk.
“Well hello Kazuya, first time seeing you here. Are you one of Jin’s friends?”
“Ummm… We’re classmates…”
“Ohhh… Classmates huh?”
Then he diverts his attention back at Jin who's currently sitting in front of his laptop with infuriated look on his face.
“Seems like he doesn’t want to introduce me so I’ll just introduce myself then."
The guy extended his hand and warmly smiles.
"Jin’s brother. I'm Miroku.”
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
A/N: It's been forever since I last updated this fic... I hope you still remember it... *nervous* So how was it??? I hope I didn't disappoint you.... Do you think Miroku's ok to play Jin's brother?? lolz!
Thank you so much for reading! And as always, comments are very much love & appreciated.
