Tanabata No Monogatari

Chapter 9- Courting

Okay, I know I took almost forever to update these stories, cause I had school, and apparently, we only have one internet, which is a smartbro, and we're all fighting who's gonna use it. So, I only get to use it while the others are asleep >_<... So, here you go and sorry for the long wait.

-Yukio's POV-

When I got that text, I was gaping at my phone.

He wants to court me? That's impossible... I must still be asleep.

I tried pinching myself and slapping myself. Oh... I'm not dreaming...

I read the message again. A known Bellatian in Novus, wants to court me?

I must've taken long in digesting everything because my phone vibrated again.

>> I love you. But, I'm not going to expect the you'll love me back. If ever that you feel lonely, I will always stay beside you. Even though you will never love me.

This message... At least, he gave me a choice to allow him to court me or not.

I felt myself being nudged by my teacher. “Yukio, we're already in school now.”

“Oh, I'm sorry, sir.” I blushed and grabbed my bags. He led the way until we left the bus.

I slightly bowed my head. “Thank you, sir.” I said and he nodded to me, and I left the school heading home.

As I was inside the jeep, I read the message again and let myself think for a while. I got home and unpacked my bags and brushed my teeth.

“How was your trip, Lei?” Mom asked me.

“It's great. We went hiking and stuff, then we went rappelling.” I told her stories of what had happened earlier leaving out the part where Jonas wanted to court me. Speaking of Jonas...

HOLY NOVUS! I FORGOT! I grabbed my phone and hoped that he was still awake. It was already 10:30 in the evening.

>> Since you asked, and I had time to think about it. . . Yeah. Sure. You can court me.

I sent the message and smiled to myself. I've always wondered what it felt like to have a boyfriend. But, he has to court me first. I'm not like other girls that, when the guy says he likes her, they become committed already. It's like, the guy could have her anytime of the day.

A few minutes later, I felt my phone vibrate.

>> You won't regret it. I promise. Good night.

>> I hope so. Good night.

I placed my phone on the table to charge it and removed the vibration. Because, sometimes, when it vibrates, I don't know, unwanted eyes and hands might play on my phone and check everything. I went to bed early that night.

I woke up earlier the next day, and cooked that crispy egg of mine and scarfed in all down because I was really hungry. It's like, my hunger woke me up. I went back to the room and removed my phone on the charger and went online.

It was a surprise, no one's online yet. Well, of course, it was only 8:30 in the morning. Who in the world would be online at this hour? Me of course. I laughed at myself. I played for a while and felt the table vibrate and I noticed I had a message. Who would text me at this hour? Maybe it's mom asking me to cook rice.
