Hi Everyone. So around the end of September I made a poll asking what story I should write next. Well here's the winning story in my poll a.k.a. Why Don't You Call Me Yet by Rin and Len. Before you start the story I want to clarify a few things.
1.) Rin and Len ARE NOT TWINS in this story. They are two friends who've just started high school.
2.) Yes there will be lemons so please don't beg for them.
and
3.) This is my adaptation of the song so don't flame if I don't follow the story in the song.
As usual please enjoy and review at the end.
Rin POV
"Where is he?" I exclaimed as I looked down at my phone. It was already six thirty, he promised to meet me by the fountain an hour ago. Impatiently I began tapping my foot rhythmically on the pavement under me with my arms crossed over my chest, my phone's screen in the corner of my eye. "What's taking him so long?"
He told me to meet him here once my singing lessons were over and he was done with track practice. They both ended so long ago, so it felt like I'd been waiting for ages. A cold breeze brushed up against my neck, causing me to tighten my plaid scarf so I wouldn't get sick from waiting for him to show up outside on a cold autumn night. I left my coat at home, since I didn't think I'd be out so late, so I was freezing in my short sleeved grey dress.
I sat down on a bench, nearby the fountain and pulled out my phone. Not a single new message was sent to my phone. Nothing telling me he'd be late, nothing telling me he couldn't hang out or anything like that. Slowly I began exhaling as I tried to calm down, causing my cold breath to become visible before fading in front of my eyes. Meanwhile the fall leaves were blowing around me as I sat quietly on the bench.
Carefully I looked through my phone for the message he'd sent me, hoping I didn't delete it. He told me he wanted to meet up so we could hang out since we hadn't had any time alone together since the school year started.
"Why did he stand me up?" I mumbled angrily under my breath as I let go of my phone to place my face down into my hands. Once I noticed I dropped my phone I picked it back up. On the corner of the message was the date he sent it. Yesterday. He sent this yesterday. On Thursday, the one day he got out of practice early. I stood him up yesterday for a date while I was at home writing a lab report for Physics. "I'm such a dumb ass."
As I sat there, I began coughing. With every cough my throat became drier and tighter. People turned to look at me, some with concerned eyes others running away; mumbling that I had whooping cough. I tried to stop coughing, but if I didn't then my throat got rough. If I tried to speak, my voice would slowly die. The inside of my mouth felt dry, no matter how many times I ran my tongue over the roof and sides of my mouth.
In between the coughs, I gazed off into the distance; I noticed a familiar face running up to me. At first it was blurry, since I didn't have my glasses on, but once it appeared in my view instantly I knew who it was. And strangely my cough vanished then too.
He only had on some jeans, a t-shirt and a hoodie over it. When he came up to me he wrapped his arms around my waist as I leaned into his chest. He felt so warm against my ice cold skin.
"I'm sorry about yesterday," I began apologizing for standing him up yesterday.
"It's alright Rin."
"How did you know I was here? Don't you have your track practice today till seven?"
I pulled away as I looked into his dark blue eyes. He gave me a worried look as he examined me. My skin had goose bumps covering it. My knees were shaking from the cold. He pulled off his jacket before wrapping it around my shoulders. I carefully pulled my arms through the sleeves, which were way too long for me. As I put it on, he pulled the zipper up.
"Kaiko came to drop off Kaito's phone. She saw me and was surprised since she thought I was with you."
I forgot that I'd told Kaiko about my date. At least she remembered and had him come after me.
"I'm so sorry Rin," he began apologizing. "I heard from Kaiko and Miki that you were really excited about this."
Why was he apologizing? It was my stupid mistake, not his.
"So I told my coach I had to leave practice because of some family issues-."
"Wait hold on a second," I interrupted him, pushing myself out of his grasp. I knew by lying he could get kicked off the team. What if he was kicked out cause of my stupidity? "It's fine Len. Really, I'll just go home and you can go back to practice. Maybe we can meet up some other time?"
I turned away from him and began walking off in the direction of my house. Thankfully I didn't live that far away, but I still needed to come up with an excuse for coming home late. As I thought, a hand wrapped around my wrist, turning me around. Len had turned me by my arm to face him. He seemed concerned. With his index finger he ran it over my lips.
"You're freezing," he exclaimed as he pulled his finger away, shocked by the temperature of my lips. "You need to get inside now. Come on I'll take you to my place."
"Its fine Len," I pulled away, placing my hand over my mouth. I couldn't believe he just did that, it made my face flush just thinking about it. "I live down the street. Just call me later."
For a first chapter I thought this was pretty good.
Please review even if you hated it.
Questions
1.) Will Len get kicked off the team?
and
2.) Do you think Len knows how Rin feels?
Love you guys
