Where I End (Book 3 to the Why me series)

Chapter 25 - June 2 2015

I walked into the school with one tear down my face. I hope my mom didn't see that. I wiped it off when I entered the gates of my school and put on my happy face like nothing happened.

I was still so sad at what happened with me and Hiro yesterday. I felt really guilty, just like in 6th grade. When I got to my math line Hiro was giving me silent treatment, I just did what was right and ignore him back.

In third period I was talking to my friend Madoka (Hitomi's ex best friend) and I begged her to tell me everything that Hitomi said about Hiro. She didn't really tell me any good stuff though. She said that one of the reasons why Hitomi stopped liking Hiro was because he was being creepy (and by creepy I mean saying I love you everyday which isn't creepy at all).

"Wait Madoka...do you have Hitomi's cell number"

"Yeah why. If you want her phone number I'm not going to let you hack into her phone" she said.

"I'm not going to hack into her phone. That's Kazuo's job. But if you don't mind can you send something to he from me" I asked.

"Ughhhh fin-"

"YES THANK YOU MADOKA" I interrupted. I raced over to my desk and grabbed a piece of paper and began to write everything I have wanted to tell Hitomi. Once I was done I gave it to Madoka. She was really excited...I don't know why.

The day continued to move forward everything normal me still ignoring Hiro blah blah blah. At lunch time I was walking with my friends Timiko, Mami, and Emi, until my friend Caspy called me over.

"Kyoko can you race me to the water fountain and back" she asked with a smile her my face.

I love running! It's one if the only things I'm good at. "Sure" I said smiling back.

"Ready...set...GO" Timiko yelled. I began to sprint and I was in the lead (I wasn't surprised) I could here Caspy saying "what the heck" from the back of me. Once I touched the water fountain I turned around and began to run back to where me and Caspy started but once I looked up, I saw Hiro staring straight at me.

All of a sudden I felt so out of breath, my legs felt weak, and I felt to dizzy. I stopped running and I looked away from Hiro over to Caspy. She was celebrating because she won. Caspy passed me?

I went to the field with Timiko, Emi, and Mami. I really didn't feel well. I felt like a jerk. I looked over to Hiro and I saw he was talking to Caspy. Right now...I felt like we were in 6th grade again...right here in this moment. I was stupid...so stupid. Then and now.

I was in 6th period, talking to my friend Izumi, as we were talking I saw Kaito walking. It took me awhile to realize that he was walking to me...straight over to me. NO NO NO GO AWAY TURN AROUND YOU CAN TALK TO AIKO BUT NOT ME. He was getting closer and closer until...he took a slight turn and walked passed me. Grr he soo did that on purpose. Kaito did the same thing again. It got me mad and super nervous. I hope Aiko wasn't looking.

After school I went over to tutoring. When I got to the front of the class I saw Hiro and Ryo talking. I kept my distance and kept quiet. Mr. Hashimoto stepped out of the class room and let us in, I walked in and sat all the way in the back of class where I usually sit with my friends Caspy and Emi.

"Remember to sign in" said my teacher. I opened my binder and took out my pencil, then I slowly walked over to the front of the class so I could sign in. Hiro was signing Ryo and himself in, then once he turned around and saw me he quickly said "Kyoko...I'll sign you in".

Why? Did Hiro just talk to me? "Oh uh...thank you" I said. I turned around and went back to my seat. I took out everything I need to take my test (I was absent on the day we took it). I saw Hiro siting not far from me, he looked up to me and sighed. "Kyoko" he said.

I brought my head up and made eye contact with him. He gave me a small smile and said "Your lucky I'm in a good mood" You are? "I'm sorry...but I'm still mad though...and your still my friend". You have every right to be mad at me. I stayed quiet and said nothing, I was going to smile back but I couldn't. I slowly nodded my head then looked back down.

Hiro then started walking to me. "Okay Kyoko listen" he said touching my hand. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything. I shouldn't have ripped your note and I shouldn't have been mad at you. I forgive you".

Wow. He must really want to talk to me again because if I was him I wouldn't forgive me. I gave him a small smile and said "Thank you". He gave me a smile back and went back to his desk. The rest of the day everything was like how it always is and me and Hiro...we both acted like our fight never happened.

He couldn't do it. Hiro couldn't not talk to me for a whole day. And it was the same for me. Even though me and Hiro don't like each other anymore we are still friends. I can't imagine my life without Hiro in it. And today I also learned something...

You can try and try and try but you will never, not even in a million years, break apart a OTF...
