Getting to know You (Oikawa Tooru )

24.

"Oikawa did that?"

"Yep."

"THE Oikawa?"

"Of course."

"So he-?"

"Yep."

"Oh my gosh."

"I know."

"Miyumi that is so adorably sweet!" Junko exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around me and shook me. "I so ship you two!"

"Junko shut up!" I yelled, laughing is I pushed her off and onto her side of the couch.

"But you know you like him." She sang, stretching out like as she looked mischievously at me and dancing slightly back and forth.

"No I don't Junko!" I exclaimed as I turned and threw a pillow at the girls face. She just laughed and took the pillow, throwing it back to me.

"Ok then you have to admit that he likes you." She replied as she picked up her blanket from the floor and leaned back into the couch cushions. She pulled her legs up beside her and placed the blanket over them and then tucked the rest of herself under it.

"No he doesn't!" I exclaimed as I felt my face heat up. "Now go hide under your blanket." I joked as I looked down and tucked my blanket under the sides of my legs.

"You have to admit it." She whined. "He went and bought you cookies, hunted you down. Then he walked you home! He asked for your number and let's not forget that he ran off the bleachers after you and-!" She stopped, eyes widening

"Hold on, he what?" I yelled as I turned my entire body to look at her.

I remembered when he texted me he told me he thought he saw me go into the locker room but he didn't tell me about any of this.

Her face was red and she looked down slightly embarrassed, playing with the hem of her blanket. "Well when the door closed when you went into the building I saw him running down the bleachers after you. So I followed, not running of course but going pretty quickly. When I got into the building he ran back down the hall towards me and told me that he heard you crying in the locker room."

She looked up at me and laughed nervously. "He asked me where your mom was so I told him. He ran out to find her so that she could come and help calm you down. After that I don't know what happened. That might have been when he left to go get the cookies."

I felt my heart racing. I looked away from her as I felt my cheeks warm. "Oh." I whispered.

I looked down and began to play with my fingers and then with the edge of the fuzzy red blanket that I was using.

My breath was short, my mind was racing into over a hundred different directions. My heart was pounding so hard against my ribcage that I could feel it and hear it loudly in my ears. My knees were shaking as I tried to think of anything but him.

"Miyumi are you okay?"

"No Junko. Why would he do that? What's going on in his head? Why can't he go and do this to one of the other girls that are obsessed with him?" I said quietly as I shook my head and looked back towards the television. I took some deep breaths as I tried to calm myself but nothing seemed to be working.

"Miyumi." I didn't respond. "Miyumi!"

I stopped and looked over at her.

"Oh Miyumi." She said sadly as she realized the distressed state I was in. She moved over on the couch so she could sit behind me. She wrapped her arms around my shoulders.

"I'm so sorry. He could just see you as a really good friend so don't freak out about it too much. He helped me out too before remember."

I nodded slowly.

"Let's put on a horror movie!" She exclaimed as she pulled away from me and jumped back to her side of the couch, almost bouncing off the cushions, which I knew she was over dramatizing to get me to relax.

It did work. I let out a small laugh as I shook my head and let myself rest against the back of the couch one more.

"Don't worry Miyumi. I bet I'm just overthinking things." Junko said as she flipped through the horror movies that were on on demand.

"Yeah, that's all. We're both just confusing things." I said with a small smile as I looked at the screen.

"So did you sleep in today?" Junko asked.

I nodded. "Slept in, enjoyed some tv and enjoyed not being questioned about what happened the entire day." I let out a sigh as I shook my head. I put my arm up on the arm of the couch and let my head rest on my hand.

"Well don't worry I'll keep you company when you come back. But to be honest I think you should skip again tomorrow and we should go to the mall, take a super long weekend." I laughed as I shook my head.

"We'll see how I'm feeling in the morning."

"Sounds good!" Junko said as she winked, giggling beside me.

When the movie ended I looked over and I noticed that Junko had fallen asleep. I shook my head and let out a small chuckle as I went to nudge her but my phone buzzed from the side table.

I slowly reached out and picked it up. I looked down at the screen and saw a text message from the one and only. My heart began to pound as I read over the message.

10:54 pm

Oikawa:
Hey I just wanted to check in and see how you were doing since I didn't see you in school today

Oikawa:
I hope everything is alright (ಥ﹏ಥ)

A small smile actually tugged at my lips even though my heart began to pound and my hands started to shake.

Miyumi:
Thanks Oikawa, I'm doing better

Miyumi:
I really appreciate you checking up on me :)

Oikawa:
No problem Miyumi-chan!

Oikawa:
I bet it was the cookies ❤︎(ˆ‿ˆԅ)

I rolled my eyes and shook my head as I fully smiled.

Miyumi:
It probably was, not gonna lie

Oikawa:
Glad to help! (^_^)

Oikawa:
What are you up to now?

My eyes widened and I knew I had to get myself out of the conversation. As quickly as I could I began to type.

Miyumi:
I'm actually going to bed now

Miyumi:
Sorry but I have to go

Miyumi:
Ttyl

After I sent the last message I turned my phone off and set it down on the table.

Going to bed was a lot harder that night. I woke up Junko and we went to my room and tucked ourselves into my bed to go to sleep. But the entire night I tossed and turned, my only thought being Oikawa and what was going on through his head.

Most of it consisting of telling myself he was a playboy and wondering why I was freaking out so much if that was really the truth.
