Chapter 12:
A day in the life of Yoshino
Yoshino's Point of View
"YAAAAWWWWNNNNNN!* I try saying over the sounds of me cracking my bones. I check my calendar. "Only a few more days... 16 years old huh?" *Knock knock knock* "Yoshino get up!" Makoto (My idiot brother) yells only half awake. "It sounds like the only who needs to wake up is!" I reply. "Yeah yeah, whatever." I hear a lound bang from outside the door, so i decide to check t out. I see Makoto laying in the floor asleep. Like I said, hes an idiot.
I tke off to school leaving Makoto laying in the floor. "Hey Sakura!" "Yo, Shino!" She giggles. "Did you see what I did there?" "Yes, I did. Now promise me that you will never do that again." "Okay!" We both giggle this time. "So, your birthday is coming up in a few days ins't it?" "Yep!" I say with delight. "What do you plan on doing for it? Anything special?" "Umm... I haven't thought about it." "Oh, how about that place that place that just opened last week?" "No, thats to mainstream." "Then how ab-" "I got it! A hotel party!" "Okay, but aren't the hotels around here very small and infested with bugs?" "Yes, but thats why we find one thats really nice and expenive!" "Expensive? I'm sorry to say, but I couldn't help pay for it if you were to find one that suits you." "That's okay my dear friend, that is what Makoto is for." "Makoto? He said he would pay for it?" "Of course. He said and I qoute "Yoshino, my very beautiful, kind, loving, and amazing sister, I will gladly pay for ANYTHING you desire!" and then I was like "Oh no, that is alright. I don't want anything huge." then he was all li-" "Wait... I thought you hadn't thought about it?" "Umm... you're paying to much attention to what you think, and not enough to what I actually said." "... Okay..." "We better get going before we're late!" "Wait, what about Makoto?" "He is sleeping, now lets go!" "Oh... okay..."
*Riiiinnnggg*
"Pant.... pant... pant..." "You know..... you're not suppossed to..... actually say 'Pant' right?" I say trying to catch my breath. "Oh." "Yeah"
*Riiiinnnggg*
"That was SO boreing!" "No, actually it was pretty interesting." "No, it was a complete snooze-fe-" I try to finish my sentence, but I bump into another student which makes me trip and hurt my right knee. "Hey watch where you'r- Oh! Umm... sorry Tachibana-senpai!" I am such an idiot! "Oh, hey! Yo...shino was it?" "Uhh... yeah" I must look really stupid right now. "Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going!" Yuuta replys with a smile. "Oh no, it was me who wasn't looking where I was going!" "Well, people have been saying a.... monster with blue hair's birthday in a few days. Would that "Monster with blue hair" be you?" "U-u-hhh... yes..." "Well since I bumped into you and made you hurt your knee, how about I make it up to you? At the Cafe down the street after school today?" "Oh... umm... sure!" "Okay then, its setteled! After school today, at the cafe. See you then." He walks off. Me and Sakura look at each other. "EEEEEEEK!" "You basically got asked out on a date by Yuuta... Yuuta Tachibana!" "I know!" Tachibana, Yuuta. He is 17. He is 5,9 with shaggy brown hair with brown eyes. We completely forget we are late for our next class.
*After school*
"Why hello there!" "H-hi!" I reply "Why so nervous? I don't bite." He chuckles. "So, shall we get going?" "Yeah."
We start to walk down the street. "Would you like me to carry that for you?" He says pointing at my bag. "Uhh.... no thats alright." "Okay."
When we arive at the cafe, he offers me to get whatever I wanted. I decide on a big cookie. (I really don't drink coffee alot.) "So, how is your knee?" "Fine, it hurts a little but besides that, it feels fine." "Well thats good." We talk for what feels like seconds but was atleast two hours. "Well I have to get home, my brother is probably wondering where I am." "Okay, well... how about I give you my number just incase you ever wanna talk?" "Yeah, okay. I would like that." We exchange numbers. "Well I'll see you tomorrow at school." I say with a HUGE smile. "Yeah c'ya!" I open the door to my house. "Where have you been?!" "None of your damn business!" "Man, I was joking. No need to use that kind of language." Makoto says walking into the other room. I plop down in a seat and watch some television. "Hey! I was watching something!" "Yeah, well you can watch it someother time." "CHANGE IT BACK!" Makoto yells reaching for the remote. I bolt out of my seat screaming "NEVER!" He chases me for a good hour or so. We both plop down in a chair. We both begin to laugh. We laugh for almost ten minutes. "Man, I haven't had that much fun in years." I say honestly. He nods his head in agreement. "I remember playing like that when we were yonger." "Yeah." I see a small flashback of my childhood. It was Makoto chaseing me like how he did only minutes ago. "Well, I'm going to bed. I am beat from that run." "Yeah, I think I am to." We shut off the lights and head to our rooms. I lay there underneath my warm blankets. I can't tell which was better, Yuuta taking me out on a date, or me and Makoto being able to act like kids again. I fall asleep pondering this question.
