I Am Not a Guy!

Chapter 9 ~ I Am Not a Guy!

That night I went to the school festival, and had a better time than I expected... By far.

I was at the school's entrance, looking for Kazue. He spotted me first, and rushed to me.

"Nami!" He called out, running to me.

"Kaz- Oh!" When Kazue reached me he picked me up, hugging me. He let me go a few seconds later.

"So, uh, what would you like to do?" He asked.

"Um... Let's go to that apple-bobbing game!" I concluded, pointing to the game with several people failing at it.

"Alright!" He said, running to it. Finally when it was his turn he got down on his knees, his hands behind his back, and he tried to get an apple. He dramatically failed and just ended up biting into an apple. He was allowed to try once more. I felt so tense, I get a little competitive sometimes.

"Get it, dammit!" I yelled at him. Boys were looking at me like I was crazy but I didn't care. I just wanted him to get that apple! He was horrible at it.

"Get your fucking face in there you shrimp!" I yelled. I took his head and dunked it into the water. I let go of him and he managed to grab one.

"Hmph, finally, grandpa." I said, turning away.

"Ahaha... Sorry about that..." He cringed, eating the Apple.

"Want a bite?" He asked, holding it out to me. I hesitated before taking the apple and biting off a chunk.

"I bit there..." He mumbled. I turned red. I was both disgusted and embarrassed. I spat out the apple like it was poison.

"Aha... My saliva isn't toxic, but okay..." He cringed again. My eye twitched.

"It is to me." I said, taking the apple and biting off the part in which he hadn't bitten off.

"Where to next?" He asked.

"I actually left my English book in my locker. Mind coming with me?" I asked. Kazue nodded and we walked to the doors of the school. We entered and walked to the area in which my locker was, which was in a little corner, not standing out. I opened it, taking out my English book. Suddenly Kazue grabbed my wrists, causing me to drop the book next to our feet.

"K-K-K-KAZUE!?" My face was as red as a tomato and I basically screamed. Kazue grinned out of amusement.

"If you yell like that people will come." He grinned devilishly.

"Let go of me!" I wanted to strangle him.

"Nah." He said, his lips inching closer and closer to mine.

"Why now!?" I cried.

"Because it's my perfect chance." He said before harshly pressing his lips onto mine. His lips pulled away, leaving me with a strange feeling. I wanted to kill him, but I wanted to kiss him, if that made any sense whatsoever.

"Idiot." I mumbled, looking at my feet.

"Hah." He let go of me and grinned to himself, as if proud.

"Do that one more time, I'm going to strangle you." I mumbled, picking up my book.

"Really?" He said, beaming with confidence.

"Do you doubt me?" I asked, glaring at him.

"In fact, I do." He said. I smiled and dropped my large, ton book of his foot and before he could scream I did, indeed, strangle him

"Gah- Okay- I forgot- How strong you are-" He gasped. I let go of him and he gasped for air desperately. I picked up my book and decided to go outside without him. Just as I was about to leave his sight I heard his voice.

"Can you stop that?" He said, a stern voice.

"Stop what?" I asked, turning to him.

"Stop walking off when I'm trying to kiss you." He said, walking towards me.

"...Tch." I turned away once more and began walking.

One step. "One kiss."

Two steps. "Two kisses."

Three steps. "Three kisses."

Four steps.  "Four kisses."

Five steps. "Five kisses." He counted as I walked. I stopped in my tracks and turned to him yet again.

"You owe me kisses." He said.

"No, I don't." I sighed.

"You do." He said. I walked off without him as he counted, following behind me. I owe him kisses? Ridiculous. But at this rate the kisses I owe him would be making out... My thoughts ran around and my heart began thumping as I thought about me owing him kisses. I couldn't stop blushing.

"You're red." Kazue chuckled.

"A-Am not..." I mumbled, hiding my face from him, behind my hair, which was actually beginning to get long.

When we walked outside the bonfire had began. The boys were cheering and celebrating. Then, Kazue's friends found him and dragged him to the center of the crowd, next to the bonfire. I giggled without thinking. Kazue's pretty popular, isn't he? They began singing their stupid songs, Kazue leading them. His singing voice was smooth and sweet, not what I had in mind. Then, he began running towards me, grabbing my arm, and dragging me to the middle of the crowd. I felt my face burn. Noooooooo! I'm the center of attention! Then, Kazue took my hand and the crowd of boys began making strange noises and they began screaming.

"Gay!" They yelled.

"Gay!"

"Gay!" They began chanting. And with that, Kazue smashed his lips onto mine. My eyes were wide opened. NO! I CAN'T ATTRACT ATTENTION! I felt like screaming. Our lips parted again and it felt like everyone was staring into my soul, especially Kazue. Everyone was silent. Then, I had finally realized something I should have a very long time ago. I had a crush on Kazue since I met him, didn't I? I looked at him, his deep blue eyes staring back into mine. Can we stay like this? Together? For how long? Will people mind? What will mom think? Will I be judged? Will we fight? Then Kazue gave a reassuring smile and I decided to forget all about it.

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!" The boys yelled. Most of them didn't seem disturbed, just a little uncomfortable. Kazue pulled me into an embrace. And with that, my blood boiled, my eye twitched, my face grew red, and I mumbled under my breath: "I am not a guy!"
