((Canceled)) What is a Best Friend? -Saiouma-

(Chapter 6)

{Kokichi POV}

I woke up to the rays of the sun in my face. It was a pain. I yawned and stretched as I stood up and hopped out of bed. Taking my phone with me I headed out to the hall. I made my way downstairs.

"What should I make for breakfast?" I asked myself. No one was ever really home. My mother was at work from 4am to 11pm. In the mornings my mother would leave small sticky notes on the counter telling me to do a few  things to get ready and have a good day. I always find the notes subtle.

My father, on the other hand, was never really in my life. I'd seen him a few times in photos before. My mother had said he was a alcoholic. He's been in jail a couple of times, for a few reasons.. Talking about him isn't one of my dearest topics, in fact it makes me rather uncomfortable.

But enough about them.

I got out some pancake mix and a pan. I readied the batter and poured it onto the pan that was heated to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (148.889 degrees Celsius). I made a few pancakes, roughly 10, and placed them onto a plate when they finished cooking.

I ate some of the pancakes and stored the rest in the freezer. I made my way to the bathroom to shower and get dressed. I brushed my teeth and styled my hair in the complex way I liked it.

I grabbed my backpack and headed out the door to wait at Shuichi's house. I'm not exactly sure if he enjoys it when I wait for him outside his door, but I certainly do. I looked through the window to see his uncle sleeping on the couch, the local News turned on. Shuichi was in the kitchen eating a bowl of something.

I snickered to myself. The sight was quite funny. Taking out my phone to text Shuichi, I sat down in the small garden filled with rocks.

Kokichi -

Shumai I see you!

Standing back up to look inside the window, I waved to him. Shuichi looked at me and rolled his eyes.

Shumai -

I'll be out in a minute, hold your horses.

Kokichi -

I am! Now get your ass out here before I leave you behind >:(

The two of us made our way to the school. It was Wednesday. The middle of the week. Wednesdays always got me excited. It meant that the week was almost over.

I had decided to attempt flirting with Shuichi. "It's pretty today.." I said.

"Hmm? Oh yeah, I agree," Shuichi smiled. "I like the mornings. They're peaceful."

"N-no I meant..today is..um..especially pretty.."

"Especially pretty? What makes today special, Kokichi?" Shuichi quizzed.

I hadn't thought what to say, so we sat there in awkward silence for about 2 minutes. I didn't want to flat out say that He was the one that made today especially pretty..just like every day I guess.

"U-umm.." I stuttered. "A certain individual.."

We had finally made it to the gate of the school. Students were busy talking to their friends and buzzing around. It made me slightly annoyed to see so many people in one area.

"And who might that be?" Shuichi asked. It surprised me. Usually he's not invested in other people, but he wanted to know who I was talking about?

Suddenly the school bell rang, thank God. "Oh look, the bell rang! See yah Shumai!"

"B-but we have first period together! I don't understand why you're leaving!" Shuichi yelled across the courtyard, following me close behind.
