Straight at first sight

Chapter 2- Scared straight

The meeting  had run long,and he was running late. As he gathered his things and rushed out the door, he just hoped she was still waiting. He would of course need to apalogise to her, so he began to think of how to do so.

There was the casual "Heyyy! your the new kid right? Sorry I'm so late, you know, student body pres and all, sometimes the meetings will run long. At least I'm here now, right?" and just laugh it off like it happens all the time, which of course it did.

Maybe he should get to see her personality first and then find a way to appoligise. 'Cuz just think if she was a stuck up, impatient girl, she would just tell him that he should have planed to leave early just in case.

He looked to the side knida ashamed. That was true. His own argument had him at a loss of words.

Now he knew, the way to do it was just appoligise, right away, and like a gentelman. This made him run even faster, thinking " I shouldn't waste anymore time."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Of course.

As he looked around the empty teachers lounge, the worry of if she stayed or not, came to an end. 

"Of course she wouldn't wait." he said to himself " why would she? I got here so late, that she probly went home so she wouldn't get in trouble."

He looked at the time."Damn, I need to get home soon, to." When he ran out the door he bumped into a girl. 

"S-sorry" he said quickly. Wait he knew her! She was a Freshmen, Aris Miko.

He grabed her hand, and asked in a rush, "Miss Miko, I have a question for you!"

"Y-yes? What can I do for y-you Student body president?" She stamered, while turning bright red.

He had forgoten that she was one of the really shy students that hid in the back and never really talked to anyone. Well he had to find out if the girl was still here, if there was even the slightest chance.(He hated not being able to complete a task, that's why he is so passionate about this)

"Miss Miko, have you seen a girl around here? One you've never seen before?" he asked

In reply she pointed down the hall way behind her, and said "I saw her stomping down that way  saying 'I can find it by myself'." Then she scampered off in the other direction.

He looked in the direction she had pointed, worry washing into him like flood gates had been opened durring a storm.

"Damn, of all the places she could have wondered off to it had to be the old school building!" he exclamed. "Time to go rescue the princess." he sighed and ran off down the hallway.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Air rushed in and out of his lungs, as he ran down the hall. He pulled up short when he heard a voice calling out "hellooooo? Is anyone there?"

Seeing that no one ever really used this part of the school it had to be her, so he began to run again, even faster then before. When he thought he saw her he slowed his pace, even made a little noise, as to not suprise her. As he got close to her, he reached out to grab her shoulder, and as soon as he did she took off down the hall screaming.

Now in a race, the to were almost equally matched in speed. Even tho, he had the advantage of knowing the school building inside out. He began to slow as to let her think she had lost him.

Soon she doged into a class room. Still in persuit he fallowed suit. He saw her backing up to the rear of the class room.

"Great!" he thought. He had entered from the rear so he could catch her before she ran off again.

He hid behind a desk and waited till she was really close. Finally she was only a mear 10 inches away, so he crept toward her, and grabed her arm. She began to scream again, but failed for he had covered her mouth with his hand.

In a soothing voice he said "Sushhhh. It's ok, it's ok now" holding her tight aginst him. He could tell when she was alright, because she wasn't shaking real bad anymore.

As he released her, she turned around. "Are you ok Miss Himako?" he asked with deep concern. Hopefully he hadn't scared he to badly. He hadn't wanted to even scare her in the first place. Maybe she would under stand and forgive him.

In reply she stammered "uhhhhhh...w-who are you, a-and how do you know my name?"

"Damn!" he thought, "seems like she is scarred of me now!"
