or
something.
“But
I know I didn’t misplace it,”
Lilian
muttered to herself, frowning. “I could have sworn I had it in
my Extra Dimensional Storage Space. That’s where I put all of
my paraphernalia.”
“Lilian?”
Turning
to the speaker, Lilian saw Lindsay sit next to her.
“Hey,
Lindsay! I didn’t realize you would be here, too!”
Lilian
greeted her friend cheerfully. She then saw who else was with the
tomboy and her face went flat. “Christine. What are you doing
here? Don’t you prefer hanging out in your cave to being
surrounded by people?”
“I’m
not a vampire!”
Christine
growled. “And I’m here because, because I…
I—w-well
it’s because…”
“She’s
here to support Kevin,”
Lindsay
answered for her friend.
“Right.”
Christine
nodded. “I’m here to support Ke-Ke-Ke―no I’m
NOT! W-w-w-why the hell would I support that jerk?! H-he’s
nothing but a loathsome, foolish little prick who's too taken in with
big tits to notice when there’s someone else much better
for―I-I-I mean he’s an idiot!”
As
Christine’s tsundere protocols activated, causing her to
sputter out her usual diatribe, Lindsay continued talking. “That’s
also why I’m here. You didn’t think I’d be willing
to miss my friend’s last track meet, did you? My support might
not mean as much to him as yours does, but I still want to support my
friend.”
Lilian
smiled at the tomboyish blond. It was hard to believe that she’d
hated this girl as little as one month ago. “I’m sure
Kevin will appreciate your support. He still cherishes your
friendship a lot, and I know he appreciates you.”
She
paused, her eyes flickering from Lindsay to Christine, and then back
again. “By the way, I’ve noticed that you and Christine
have been spending a lot more time together. What’s up with
that?”
“Ah.
Well…”
Lilian
blinked. Was it just her, or was Lindsay blushing? “I just sort
of thought she could use a friend, you know? Christine is so rude and
abrasive.”
“Who’s
abrasive?!”
“And
she’s always scaring people away because she scowls so much.”
“I
do not scowl!”
“And
she’s really, uh, what’s the word I’m looking for?
It’s the one you used a while ago…”
“Tsundere?”
Lilian
supplied.
Lindsay
snapped her fingers. “That’s the one. She’s really
tsundere.”
“I
AM NOT TSUNDERE!”
Lilian
and Lindsay stared at Christine, who squirmed under their deadpan
looks.
“W-what
are you two staring at? I’m not tsundere.”
“You
are totally tsundere.”
“Completely
tsundere.”
“So
tsundere you make Taiga look like a kuudere.”
Lindsay
stared at the redhead. “Who the heck is Taiga?”
“No
one you would know.”
Waving
her right hand in the air, Lilian got back on track. “Anyway,
you were saying something about Christine? I think you were telling
me why you’re spending so much time with her or something?”
“Don’t
talk about me like I’m not even here!”
“Right.
It’s sort of like, even though she acts all rude and stuff,
Christine is still a really good person, you know? I-I mean…”
Lilian
noticed that, indeed, Lindsay was actually blushing. “I think
she’s really kind of cool and nice once you get to know her,
and her clothing is really pretty. Totally wouldn’t wear them
myself. Never in a million years. But, still pretty.”
Lilian
stared at her friend and her…
not-friend
with the observant gaze of someone trying to solve a puzzle.
“You…
are
you two into each other?”
“WHAT?!”
Christine
shot to her feet. “I am not into Lindsay! She’s just a
friend! A FRIEND! I am completely straight and in love with―”
Her
eyes widened. She looked at the kitsune and the tomboy, who were
giving her strange looks.
“Are
you telling me that even though Kevin and I are now dating, you still
have a crush on him?”
Lilian
shook her head. “That’s…
shouldn’t
you try and, I don’t know, find someone
something.
“But
I know I didn’t misplace it,”
Lilian
muttered to herself, frowning. “I could have sworn I had it in
my Extra Dimensional Storage Space. That’s where I put all of
