Chapter 10: Resonating Spring II

"Kyou-kun. I.."

"What?"

"I'm just happy that I'm your friend."

"Huh? What's with you all of a sudden?"

"Well, like I said I'm happy. I mean, I am a friend to Kyou-kun. I just accomplished something big have I not?"

"How is becoming my friend considered an accomplishment?"

"How? Well I just felt that it is one.. hehe."

"You're as weird as always.."

"Hehe.. but really. I'm really happy being friends with you, Kyou-kun.."

"Okay I get it. Please don't repeat those words... it's kinda annoying.."

"Eh? But you look so happy when I said that."

"Am I?"

"Yup! You have this huge grin on your face."

"How did I look like back then? I wonder..."

Opening my eyes slowly, I looked around the surroundings and figured that I was in the school's infirmary.

"What exactly happened, huh?.. what?"

When I tried to get out from the bed, I felt my right hand being tugged.. more like it felt like someone was holding it... someone with soft and comfy hands... who..

"What?"

Looking to my right, I saw the striking pink hair from earlier today.

Haruhi Ishida. What is she..

Then, memories of what had happened flashed itself in my mind. Like a video being played in a fast forward.

Ah, so that is what had happened. I had an attack... I'm surprised. I never had an attack for a long time and now it did happened at the most perfect timing ever. Lovely. But still... I must have had worried her... oh yeah, what about Mei and Sora? .. I really need to explain it to them so that they are not worried... did they even know what had happened to me in the first place? Ah, so much to think about! I better calm down first!

Okay, the first order of business. When I looked outside the window, I saw the colour of what seem to be the colour you could see during a sunset. I can't really be sure since the curtains had closed the enitre window...

But logically speaking, I must have passed out for a long time so it's already late.

.. I've been trying to ignore it but this girl... she's been holding my hand really tight. Even if she is sleeping, she sure has one heck of a grip on my hand.. but I don't really mind it.. it feels nice somehow..

... I really should wake her up.

"Oi, Ishida. Wake up."

"..."

She's not budging! She sleeps like a log! This is bad! This is really bad!

"Oh boy..... now what to do?... oh well.."

I decided to just wait for her to wake up I guess... no matter how long it would take.... I hope it won't take that long though.

Fortunately fifteen minutes later, she woke up. Finally.

She opened her eyes a bit and she looked down at her hands. The next thing that had happened was a disaster.

She screamed as she abruptly pulled her hand away from mine but it was too sudden that she ended up pulling herself backwards as well making her lose her balance.
