blood moon chappie 2 part 2

Three things happened at one go. One, I felt a surge of heat run up my arm and under my skin, two, Sensei Kakeda mentioned my name and asked me to pay attention to the lesson and three, Yuki’s hand immediately retracted from my hand the same moment we touched…

“ Cold….” Yuki cried out in surprise. I felt my forehead crease in worry and distress.

It was just as I’d expected. Something had to happen. Something that made me seem much weirder than I’d already felt.

“ Your hand…. It’s freezing….” Yuki groaned.

“ Gomen-ne, I didn’t know…” I stuttered.

My hand… was cold? Of all things?It took me a while to absorb this fact. I had always thought that I had the normal temperature of an average human being. Even Aunt felt the same to me. My mind reeled and I sought my brain for truth.

“ Ah- hem. Miss Ruki-chan, please pay attention to the lesson or you shall be sent to the detention room after school. Gomena- sai, not even new kids are excused.”

I shuffled back to a proper sitting posture. I heaved a sigh and paid full attention for the rest of the day.During recess, I found Yuki and Keiko amidst a crowd of people

Miyuki!” they chanted, “ please sign my yearbook! Miyuki!!!”

My head whirled. I took anther deep breath and yanked Yuki and Keiko out of the crowd. We locked ourselves in a toilet cubicle while the fan girls waited outside to see us again.

“ Miyuki!!!! Miyuki!!!” they yelled.

“ It’s okay. They’ll go away once they are tired.” Yuki muttered under her breath.

Keiko giggled like a little schoolgirl.Then Miyuki glanced at me.“ When we were running just now, why didn’t you pant? Don’t you feel exhausted?”

I shrugged. I had never known what panting for air felt like. Perhaps I was one of those kinds of special people who didn’t feel the need to pant as they ran.

“ You know why we like you?” Yuki and Keiko asked me. I shook my head.

“ Why?”

“ Because you’re special. You don’t run after us like crazy fans do, or idolize us like the other girls. Besides, you’re a mystery. We like mysteries.” They laughed in unison.
