One Hope ∞ Nishimura Riki

Chapter 2: movie and pizza

I went to school early in the morning because I wanted to take a book in the library before the class. But in the road, I saw someone familiar. I was looking at the person to know who it was, and against expectations it was Riki. He didn't see me, so I just walked faster to avoid him. But the moment I turned to another way, I heard footsteps running after me. I knew it was Riki that try to chase me. In my head , I just thought about one thing: run Ella!
So I ran, like my life was in danger. I thought it would be pretty funny to see.

" Hey Ella, wait!" He said.

I acted like I didn't hear anything, but he continued to chase me. He was faster than me. He grabbed my hand et pinned me to the wall, which surprised me .

"I told you to wait me. Why don't you listening?" He asked to me, quite frustrated.

"I didn't hear you " I lied, making my cheeks blushing.

He smirked, looking at my eyes. I avoided his gaze, as embarassed I was .

" Can you stop?" I asked.

" I can but I don't want."

He approached his face closer to mine and when I close my eyes, he laughed at me and left me behind.
I was so shy, and my heartbeat was racing. He turned around to face me.

" Will you come?"

I followed him in silence .

"Why did you grab me like that?"

" Because you are not listening to me, I wanted to walk the road with you. "

" But if people sees you with me , what would you do?

" I don't care, I just go to school with my classmate nothing more".

I sighed, his words were hurting me. I had some hopes about the relationship between us. I was still a little bit in denial.

We arrived at school , and both of us take a different way, I went to the library and Riki to the cafeteria.
I took a look at Riki that didn't gave any stare at me.

"How stupid I am..."

—

I thought that he had interest on me, but not at all. I had hopes for nothing, he saw me not more than his classmate. I might stop thinking about him in another way or I would be hurted.

I was dreaming on my desk, like usual, looking at the window, when the teacher came in the classroom.

" For the final project, you must create groups with whoever you want. The purpose is to create a documentary of something unusual. It's your creation, don't forget about it , so don't copy others projects." He left the classroom as soon as he finished his instructions.

I looked at Lisa, hoping to form the group with her , but she asked her boyfriend to form a group together, without asking me if I was alright.

" Okay,... I must find a partner now.." I mustered .

Then someone hit my chair 3 times. I turned around to face Riki.

" What do you want ?"

" I can hear you. You don't have anyone to do the project with?"

"No but I will find someone, don't worry"

" I'm not worry, I don't care but I don't have anyone too, so do it with me"

" Are you sure that you don't have any friend to do it with? "

He sighed.

" If you don't want it, just say it "
