Shugo Chara Life! ch. 1
As Mari paused to catch her breath, she glanced across the school field to see a male blond jogging conversationally with a friend. He began to look frustrated and Mari looked away shyly. She drank out of her icy water bottle and started running again. As any tired late autumn causes curiosity, she began to wonder what had angered Yasahiro.
---------------------------------------------------
I teased myself that I was only concerned because of my crush on him since the fourth grade, three years ago already. Even before that, when I arrived in Japan at age seven for the last months of first grade,there had been something about him that appealed to me.
Now I was 13, and still didn't know Yasahiro at all. I'd barely even spoken to him in the entire 6 years. I wished I could at least be passionate in pursuit of my crush.
My train of thought was interrupted as a shout came from the other end of the field."Because I like her!" It was a familiar voice to me...
Yasahiro? I looked toward him, immediately thinking "is it me?" He blushed, and met my gaze. For a second, this was the bliss I was caught in, but my attention was turned when a searing pain in my ankle caused me to have impact with the cold dirt.
There were gasps coming around me, either from Yasahiro's exclamation or my fall, and I instantly sat up to clutch my foot, in which the pain was renewed. Most of my gym class was soon surrounding me, including a boy still slightly red in the face. I could notice a few muted giggles. Did they think I fell because of what he said?
Yasahiro knelt down beside me, the first one to speak out. "Are you hurt?" My ankle stung again, causing me to wince and making me nod. The group quietly backed away, and Yasahiro placed his hands under my knees and back, lifting me up. My heart raced as we entered the school, still in gym uniforms. Had he really been talking about me? At this thought, the pain returned at its worst and I fainted.
