CHAPTER 6 - sea swallow me

KOU
—❁—

After all that stupid crap yesterday, I have no idea what to think.

Sousuke and I haven't had a total real conversation since late last night.. which was when we were arguing over who would get to take a shower first.

Walking into class, I could feel a few eyes plaster onto me, but I ignored them and just walked to my seat.

"Kou!" I glance up at the voice as I take a seat, and see that it was one of my female classmates that I haven't really spoken to yet. "What's up?" I softly smile, looking down at a flyer as she hands it to me. "The Photography Club is looking for applicants, and I thought that you would be interest in joining. We're gonna be holding our first meeting at the Karaoke Bar downtown and you'd be perfect for it!" She smiles, placing her hands together as she watches me read the flyer silently to myself.

Karaoke.. you don't say?

I look up at the girl and softly smile. "Thank you for the invitation, I'll think about it if my schedule fits."

By schedule, I mean if Sousuke would be willing to go. Speaking of.. where's he at anyway?

"Awesome! And also, I'm hosting a Halloween party next Tuesday at the Izakaya I work at, and you're welcome to come if you don't have other plans. You can bring your friend that sits next to you and you're welcome to wear a costume if that sweetens the deal any. It will only be people in this class, and then some." "Halloween party? Sweet. Consider me there." I softly smile, and I can tell it makes her a little nervous since all she does is put her hands on her cheeks and smile. "Are you guys done flirting so I can sit down?" Sousuke mutters as he walks up behind the girl, waiting for her to move so that he can get to his seat beside me. "Oh! I'm sorry, Mitsuba-kun." She bows before glancing at me, shooting me another smile before walking back over to where she sits.

"So you're finally here. Are you still angry about the shower last night or is it all water down the drain?" My eyes follow him as he sits down. "You're not funny. What's this?" He points at the flyer in front of me and lays his bag in his lap. "Oh, it's just an invitation flyer thingy. There's a photography club and a girl wanted me to join it. They're having a meeting after school at some karaoke bar and she wanted to know if I'd be interested." "Karaoke? Let me see that." Sousuke holds his hand over the flyer and pulls it over to himself, looking down at it and reading it. "No camera needed? Isn't it a photography club?" I look at Sousuke as he looks at me, but all I do is give him a shrug before taking the flyer back. "I dunno, maybe it's meant to be like a get to know everyone situation. That way everyone is friendly before the first real meeting." Mitsuba nods and looks at me. "Are you wanting to go or something? Why're you keeping the flyer?" I shrug, "I mean.. karaoke seems pretty fun and the time slots will be provided, it's like free entertainment. She also mentioned a Halloween party that she's hosting at the place she works, and I think we should go. It'll get us outta the dorm and give us something fun to do on Halloween." "Alright Mr.Snob, since when are you getting invited to all these gigs?" I softly smile as Sousuke crosses his arms and looks at me, but my eyes stay stuck down on the flyer. "I dunno." I glance over at the girl that originally handed me the flyer, and she looks over at me with a soft smile. "I mean.." I softly shrug and smile back before looking at Sousuke. "..she's kinda pretty."
