Girl's Got Secrets

Chapter 6: Kaho and Rei! Sittin' in a Tree! K-I-S-S-I-N- Wait, What?!

Chapter 6:

"Kaho-chan, you can't escape from the great reporter!" Amou said under her breath. She slithered away from her secret position beneath the window.

"Wow! We're going to blow the people away!" Rei said. Razvan, Kaho, and he had just finished practicing Sick Muse, the song they decided to play for the competition.

"Yeah, we might actually win this!" Kaho agreed. She was so ecstatic! She could sing very well, it turned out. This could really be a great chance to make more memories with her two friends that Kaho reunited with.

Razvan's phone rang. "Hello?" he answered. "Yeah. Okay. I'll be there in a minute." He snapped his phone shut and explained to them, "I've got to go, guys. My uncle said that the UPS guy came to the house to deliver a package from my father in Romania, but they won't let him sign off for it. Only I can. Sorry for bailing on you. I think we got this in the bag, though! Be ready, the competition tomorrow, 7:30 pm, at Teen's Moon." Raz left in a rush, leaving Rei and Kahoko together. Rei and Kaho shared a glance.

"It's only 6, and I don't have to be home until 8. Do you want to do anything, Rei? I know this great cake shop on the way to my house?" Kaho asked. Rei's face brightened and an uncontrollable grin spread across his face.

"Really? I'd love to, Kaho." Rei laced his hand with hers, making her blush the color of a rose, and followed her out of the door and off campus.

Rei and Kahoko sat down in the cake shop and ordered. "I'd like one Chocolate Lava Melt and a hot chocolate, please. What do you want, Kaho?" Rei looked across from him in the booth.

Kahoko was staring at the menu, trying to decide. "I guess I'll have strawberry shortcake and a glass of mint tea." The waiter took Rei's and Kahoko's menus, making sure that his and Kahoko's fingers touched. Rei didn't miss that obvious maneuver, but Kaho did.

That waiter kept glancing at Kaho and went to the table three times asking, "Is there anything else I can get for you?"And he was only talking to Kaho. He even wrote his number on the ticket, thank God she didn't notice. Rei met his glances and glared at him, making him turn away in embarrassment.

"Rei, are you alright? You look angry," Kaho worried. Rei's face smoothed out immediately.

"I'm fine, Kaho. Do you want to head home? It's 7:15?"

"Sure! Which way is your house, though? I can take you to a bus top, if you want me to," she offered as they stood outside.

"No way! I'm fine. I will walk you to your house, and there's nothing you can do about it," Rei said stubbornly so she couldn't refuse.

"O-okay," Kaho blushed, embarrassed.

They walked and talked about the competition, and then they finally made it to her door. "Goodnight, Rei," Kahoko said with a sweet smile.

"Wow," he whispered. Then, he bent down and took her face in his hands. She was blushing like crazy and stuttering. It was the cutest thing he had ever seen.

"R-Rei?" Kaho asked, her voice just as quiet.

This chapter was cut really short because I wanted more suspense. I'll update soon!
