Thursday, 1:24 pm, One Month Later...
It's been a month, and each day in school, Asami always asks me to hang out with her. Every time, I say yes. Not because I want to, but I was scared that the old vibe I got from her is going to come back.
Back home, me and Yuumi are getting along. We kinda cook dinner together, she brings my clothes to the laundry. I guess this means she's gonna do most of the chores now.
Equalling less things to do at home NOOOOOOO!!!!
So here I am back on the school rooftop, hanging out with Asami. I'm just munching down the tuna sandwich I made while she's just blabbing on about something which I kinda forgot about.
In all honesty, the more I hang out with this weirdo, the more I want to know more about her. I don't know when I started feeling like doing so, or what even caused me to, but my most probable suspect is the "warm feeling" which I don't know what to call.
Well today, I decided to start quenching my curiosity with a set of questions. Starting with...
"Hey Asami, do you have any siblings?"
"Eh? Why'd you ask?"
"Nothing, just wondering if you had any..." I reply,
But this is the actual reason:
During the past month, everytime I see Asami enter that limousine when she goes home from school, I can't help but notice a young man lean by it. The man had silver hair with purple edges, and he looked no older than 16, and wore a uniform completely different than the ones from my school.
If I told her this reason, she would suspect me for a stalker again...
"Oh, I see. Well I didn't really expect any questions from you. You always seemed so uninterested" Asami sighs,
"Eh? What do you mean!? I'm interested now aren't I!?" I shout
"Woah woah Kayden-kun, it was a joke! I just wanted to see that cute look of yours when you're flustered" Asami says smirking,
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!? WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN!?"
I admit, I think I'm overreacting...
"Awwwwwww, your cheeks are red all over!!!" Asami says pinching my cheeks,
"GAH STOP IT! I'M NOT EVEN CUTE WHAT THE F*CK!?" I scream out in agony
Agony because I'm being HARASSED BY THIS WEIRDO
"Haha, fine fine..." Asami says as she lets go of my cheeks and turns away from me for a moment,
"Eh?"
"Oh! It's nothing! It's nothing! I was just looking at the sky that's all!" She says as she turns back to me,
With a quick look, I noticed her cheeks were red all over too, but then quickly disappeared.
Straaaaaange...
"Oh um... about the question..." I say to remind and change the subject,
"Ah? Oh yeah um... yes, I have a brother. His name is Ketsuya" she answers with a few buffers,
"How old is he?" I ask,
"He's 15, and I'm 16" she answers,
"Does he study here?"
"No, he doesn't. In fact, he studies in a school where discrimination seems legal" she replies sitting on the edge,
"What does that mean?" I ask after taking the last bite of my sandwich,
"Well I'm not really sure, but he says that his classroom is somewhere in the mountains, and its really stressful to get up there then back down" she continues,
"Feels like someplace I shouldn't have gone to..." I say in relief,
"Yeah well he says its actually worth the trip. His PE classes is actually fun there... or so he says"
"Well... I'm not really much of a PE person so... yeah..."
"Haha, I noticed..." Asami says leaning against the fence that keeps students (in this case, us) from falling,
Once her back made contact with the fence, the supports broke, and she, along with the fence, suddenly began a free fall.
However, without batting an eye, I was able to catch her by the leg at the nick of time.
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!"
"Why are you screaming!?" I ask,
"Oh I don't know... I think its because YOU CAN SEE RIGHT UNDER MY SKIRT!"
At first I didn't know what she was talking. Then I looked underneath, not knowing what the big deal was.
Big mistake...
"Eh? There doesn't seem any problems... all I see is blue stripes"
"WHAT THE F*CK!? YOU ACTUALLY LOOKED!?" She exclaimes,
I could tell she was pissed. 2 things gave it away. First, her angered tone, second, the hard kick to the face she gave me afterwards.
"OWWWWWWW!!!!"
"YOU'RE GONNA GET ANOTHER ONE IF YOU KEEP LOOKING!" Asami screams out as she holds down her skirt,
"I won't! I promise! Plus if you hit me one more time it may cause me to drop you!" I say while looking away,
"Jeez, then what the heck are you waiting for!? Pull me up! But don't look!"
I don't see how that's going to be easy...
"Just... hang on... ugh..." I say as I begin pulling,
Oh yeah, as I was still "looking", I noticed that the people below us actually saw the whole scene, hopefully I doubt they heard us.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It took longer than expected, pulling Asami away from the grasps of death. In all honesty, I only looked because of what she said. So don't go around calling me-
"YOU DAMN PERVERT"
Wow right on cue...
I could tell Asami was still pissed. Right now she's brushing of rogue dirt and kept her legs crossed in embarrassment, along with a red face.
"Hey hey, calm down! It wasn't really my intention to look" I say to assure her, "In all honesty, I looked because you said something"
"Yeah, well I didn't tell you to look didn't I?" Asami says crossing her arms,
"Well instead you got me interested" I retort,
"Hmph, whatever. Its almost next period, PE so we better get changed" she says as she turns away and walks away,
I can't tell if she's moving on or trying to get away from me. Either way is fine with me, but for some reason I feel like betting on "moving on".
Guess I better get changed to my PE uniform as well. hopefully this day doesn't get any worse.
Wait a sec...
WHY ARE THE "BLUE STRIPES" STUCK IN MY HEAD!?
Note to self: Never look underneath girls' skirts...ever...
