Getting Over Kaori Miyazono

Chapter 7

How was I supposed to go to school after this. I'm so nervous, I can't face him. But, I'm gonna have to.

I got out of bed, threw on my uniform, checked my hair and left.

I walked outside and Kousei was waiting for me. He tousled the hair on the back of his head, he looked up at me, just noticing me, he smiled weakly

"Hey Tsubaki"

"Hey Kousei, whatcha doin here?"

"Well I thought we could walk together"

"Ok sure" I walked up to him trying to act normal, this really isn't going forward with my plan of avoiding him.

It was quiet for a long time when Kousei spoke up.

"Tsubaki, I really like you."

I didn't have any words for that. I've been waiting to here those weird for what felt like forever. But is it right if we date now?

"I know, it's weird timing cause we just talked about Kaori, but I need you Tsubaki. You make me feel better, happy too. You've always been there for me and I don't know what I'd do without you."

I still wasn't sure what to say. I know he still loves Kaori, but would he ever really get over that? He'll always have feelings for her, but will I ever become what he really loves?

"Tsubaki please say something"

I'd just realized that I hadn't said anything for a long time. "Took you long enough you big dummy." I smiled up at him, he looked relieved and he grabbed my hand and we kept walking to school.

"Hey guys, look at you two!!!" Watari ran up to us, gawking at our joined hands. "So what does this mean, you guys finally get together?!" He smirked at us, I can feel my cheeks redden, Kousei squeezes my hand.

"Watari chill out, would you. We're not sure what we are yet" Kousei replied. Good cause I don't know either.

"Well I've known for just about forever you guys would end up together. C'mon, gimme all the details. I wanna know everything."

"There's nothing to tell, it just kinda happened." I tried downplaying it, I don't want it to cause too much drama or anything, the less people that know the better. Keep it on the down low for now.

"Oh is that all, well when you love birds decide to let me in, call me" he started to turn when I yelled at him.

"WE'RE NOT love birds..." I screamed down the hall but then I realized the weight of my words, with Kousei standing right next to me. I stopped myself and slowly turned towards him, giving him a slightly embarrassed smile. I don't know what this is, but I liked the idea of us being love birds or what ever. "Sorry, guess it was just habit."

He lightly concerned look softened and he smiled back. "It's ok Tsubaki, I know why you said it, I just... We should talk this through, so that way we know what to tell people."

He wants to tell people about us. "I just don't know what we are."

"We'll figure it out later. Let's go, we're gonna be late for class"

He pulled me along, ripping me from my daze. I still couldn't really believe this was happening.
