Chapter 8 I'm Alright, I Promise

°°°

Amano's POV

~After Thanksgiving Break, Monday~

Most of Thanksgiving Break I practiced my song and worried about Kei, so this morning, on the first day back, I talked to him before school started.

I went into the deserted class that I called 1st period. Kei was there in his usual seat in the back. He was reading a book.

I went up to him and demanded: "Let me see it."

Kei looks at me confused, "What-" Then he realized what I meant. "Oh."

He moved his bangs out of the way and there was a scar that was long and slanted, so his bangs could barely cover it.

Tears welled up in my eyes. "C-Can I touch it?"

Kei nodded seriously. I hesitantly touched it. I touched it lightly. Feeling over the scar.

"Does it hurt anymore?" I asked cautiously.

"No," Kei responded seriously.

"Are you sure?" I asked worriedly.

Kei set down his book and with his now free hand he grabbed my right hand, that was touching his scar.

He looked me dead in the eyes and said assuringly "Hey, I'm all right. I promise."

Tears started to overflow. "Okay," I said. I pulled my hand away from his face, but he held on and said: "Hang out with me after school on Wednesday and I'll tell you everything."

I responded with an "Alright."

The bell rang and I head to my seat.
