Thread: The School Trip (ShiroKuma)

It annoyed her that Ren wouldnt look into her eyes, but she supposed she couldnt complain. Especially since shed been doing the same thing for god knows how long. There really wasnt any need to continue holding onto Rens shirt anymore, but her small hand continued to grasp desperately on to the flimsy fabric, almost as if she were afraid that a moment was all it would take for Ren to disappear from her life completely. She hadnt meant to take on the racial insult that Bernadettes friends had used earlier. But frankly put there was no other way to describe the way Ren behaved around his supposed girlfriend. Hearing that Ren had a girlfriend had been quite the surprise, and at first Mira had smiled at the news and passed it off as the way things should be. It wasnt long though before she found out just who the lucky girl was, and the few glimpses Mira caught of Ren while on campus was more than enough for her to come to an unwavering conclusion. What Ren was doing was wrong. Her heart skipped a beat when Ren mentioned mentioned how hed liked someone else. Prickly jealousy stirring in her stomach along with contempt towards Ren. She was on the verge of lecturing how Rens actions were unfair not only to himself, but also Bernadette. But before she could get a word out she was cut off by a light sigh. Something about Rens body language made her hesitant to speak, something about the way he spoke about the girl sounded strangely familiar. Mira wasnt exactly all that bright when it came to relationships. The longest relationship shed been in had been a bit under a week, and that had ended badly for her when she found out that she was to be more of a conquest than a legitimate partner. Ever since her interest in romantic relationship had wained, and before she knew it, the numerous proposals after school had stopped, in fact school itself had become a page in her past. Likewise Ren probably had several pages Mira wasnt aware of, and it was more than possible that he had a crush on a girl outside of school, perhaps someone hed met during some extracurricular activity? Hence, being a bit slow. Mira didnt realize who Ren was talking about. Frowning a bit in confusion as the subject suddenly focused on her. Normally shed have pounced on the change of topic without hesitation. The topic which had been eating away at her for months, if she could patch things up with Ren, things might change between them, but unfortunately her mind was occupied by the introduction of a third, unknown girl. Turning her hand and carefully curling her fingers around the furs tail, she stroked the warm furry texture with her thumb. She was disheartened to hear that Ren had someone else in his heart, but if Ren had opted to go for Bernadette instead of the girl, maybe he wasnt all that serious about her anyway? What if being with Bernadette was stopping someone from confessing to you? Mira murmured, her eyes now cast downward to hide the faint blush on her cheeks as she attempted something she knew she should never do. What if I told you I knew someone thats wanted to be with you for years? Someone that heartbroken when you started dating that girl. Someone that actually wants to spend time with you and maybe get intimateevery now and then she couldnt keep going. The faint pink of her cheeks suddenly turning a full blown red. She didnt know what had come over her, it wasnt like her to be so bold, even if she was speaking in third person. But the knowledge that Ren would move on from being one of her students was enough for her to not retract her words.
