CHAPTER FOUR
Shinpei sighed heavily as he keep glancing to his watch. The girl was unconscious for about half an hour and he also carried her to the bed.With his finger keep pressing the mobile phone, tried to call Manpei but failed.
“Where is Manpei when I need him the most..” he murmured to himself and stretching his neck. “Man~this girl was heavy..”
To : Manpei
From : Shin
Oi oi..could you come here now..A.S.A.P
He texting his twins. Using his knowledge to handle injury in rugby games, Shinpei slowly took the clean cotton nearest with some ice from the small refrigerator and began to wipe her nose. He do it slowly, afraid that the girl might scream when she wake up-due to the pain. Girls!!
After done, he sat besides her-staring her deeply. Shinpei smiles. This girl didn’t look as if she was faint but she looks like she was sleeping peacefully.
++++++
“Have you tried to call her ?” Ai asked her twins worriedly.
Minami just shook her head vigorously. “I tried but failed. Have you forgot she always left her phone inside her bag ?”
Ai nod. “Yeah”
“Hey…let’s ask people” Minami suggested and grab her hand-randomly starting ask the other student.
“Have you seen Mano Erina ?”
“Mano who?”
“Have you seen Mano Erina ?”
“Nope…”
“Have you seen Mano Erina ?”
“Wait wait…the girl with long curly hair and wear a huge spectacles?”
Minami snapped to that taller boy with nerdy hairstyle. “Oi..that’s not her..that’s your girlfriend idiot !!”.
“Relax Minami..” Ai said after the boy leaving them with a confused face. “We should try look for her..Not scolding other people..Now if you mind, please carry Eripyon’s bag. My turn t ask..”
Minami sighed but suddenly her eyes were concentrated on one figure. “Wasn’t that??”
“Who..?” Ai turned her head toward the familiar figure who was walking alone-while his eyes were on the book that he read.. “Takagi-kun !!!”
“Let’s go to him..perhaps he saw Eripyon..” Minami suggested and quickly ran to him without even waiting for Ai to answer anything.
“Ano..chotto…Takagi-kun…” she said. Manpei rolled his eyes in surprised as he almost dropped the book .
“Yes..may I help you?” he asked politely to the girl who suddenly jumped in front of him.
“Takagi Manpei-kun..” Minami said nervously. It couldn’t be Shinpei by the way he walked, talk and his style. Plus, Shinpei always stick together with his gang or what other school girl said as a bunch RUGBY PRINCE..
“Takagi Manpei desu..” Manpei answered with smiles. “What’s wrong ? is there anything you want to talk ?”
+++++
She’s pretty cute.. the eyes..the smiles. Why is it that she smiles while sleeping ?
Shinpei have no idea what makes his heart beating fast as he bring his face closer to her. Too close until he could feel her weak breathe.
She might thanking me for kissing her..
With that, he brought his lips to her and gently touch it. But, realizing that she might wake up and the injured nose of her, Shinpei pulled off and stand up. Shook his head slightly. This was his first time doing it. Usually, he just alter his ego and let the girl kiss him first. Well-plenty of girls would die for it.
+++++
“Eripyon..do you see her ?” Minami asked.
Manpei frowned. “Eripyon?”
Ai scratched her head. “What she mean is..do you see our friends, Erina Mano?”
Manpei didn’t answer quickly but staring directly to them. “ Who is she ?”
His answer seriously makes Minami and Ai felt as if they were jumping from the tallest building. They totally forgot, it’s impossible for Manpei know Erina unless she’s one of the popular girl in school.
“Our friend.. she..” before Ai could finished it, there’s a voice came from behind.
“Yo Manpei..”
“Yamapi..” Manpei grinned to him.
Ai and Minami stunned.
“Hello to you two..” Yamapi said to them with a slight bow. “Oi-you didn’t tell me you have a fangirls now..” he whispered softly to Manpei.
“Hajimemashite..” both Minami and Ai bow to their senpai.
“This girl looking for their friend..” Manpei explained without Yamapi asked.
“Friend ?” Yamapi rolled his eyes in confused.
“Yeah..Erina is missing. After math class, she get out from the class-saying that she wanna go somewhere and didn’t turned back..” Ai said.
“It couldn’t be she’s being kidnap right?” Yamapi came out with his silly idea.
“Baka..!! don’t say that..these two were so worry. You don’t have to make everything turned worse….” Manpei poke his waist.
“Sorry..” Yamapi bow. “ Maybe she have some urgent thing to do..or she still in school..daijobu ne..”
“Thanks Yamashita-senpai..we will keep searching for her..” Ai and Minami said simultaneously and walked away.
Manpei sighed. “ I hope they found her…those two look so worry..”
“Aww~really nice .. man~you and your twins are like-HEAVEN MEET EARTH !! noo, that wasn’t the correct word..err, fire with water ?”
Manpei laughed. “ And you with your boyfriend are like-bread and butter !!!”
“Shhh..” Yamapi quickly covered Manpei mouth with his palm. “Don’t speak too loud..my GOD..”
“Sorry.. Speaking of Shin.. I have to see him now..See you later ne..”
++++++
Erina opened her eyes and felt her pain still there but lessen. She touch her nose and looked around . “Ano~Takagi-kun.”
Hearing her voice, Shinpei widened his eyes. Could it be she know what he did just now ? he quickly cover his face with the mask again.
Erina bites her lips. She still remember what had happen-Maki incident-door incident-everything that happen, she know. But there’s only one thing she’s confused. While she was faint-Erina dream about him. About Manpei..she dream that he kissed her and it felt so real. But she know-it might be a dream. Or a sign ?
Seeing Maki-chan braveness to confess somehow giving her a silent strength. If Maki can do it, neither do her..
“Ano Takagi-kun..” she said nervously. Trying to gain her strength. She decided to run away after saying it.
“Umm..” Shinpei still didn’t looked behind-pretending as if he was arranged the file on the table belong to Eguchi-sensei.
Go go Erina..come on..you can do it…and you can run after this.
“I have something to say…please don’t turned behind or I can’t say it..” Erina said slowly but loud enough to make Shinpei hear.
Shinpei just keep pretending arranging the file while nodding his head. How could he turned to her-she might know that he is not Manpei..or she might kick him for kissing her without permission.
“I like you..” Erina said with a firm but slow voice. Shinpei felt as if his jaw dropped. Could it be this girl-confess ? to him ? no-to Manpei of course.
“Shin !!!” Manpei knock the door twice before enter the room and feel a sudden awkwardness atmosphere. And he could see Shinpei was not alone.
This time-it’s Erina turned to jaw dropped. “Takagi Manpei ?? MAJI !!”
