There More Than Your Eternity
Chapter 1
"Days Without Company"
Riku and I have been best friends since childhood. I can't remember a single school year of my life without him. We got enough of the same memories to make one person. And this year, my first year in high school, was when we began to keep enough of the same secrets.
"W-what? You're staying after again?" I grabbed my books from my desk, worried that Riku would notice the strain in my voice. "Yeah. I'm really sorry, Sena. When we go to your favorite video store, I'll buy any game you want!" Riku said, following me out into the hall way. "Deal?" I bite my lip to keep a sigh from escaping. I wanted to turn around and tell Riku he was being stupid.
Today we'd planned on him coming over and watching a new movie I'd bought. We planned it. A week before Riku started staying after for who knows what. Yeah. He hasn't exactly told me why he's been staying after either. Which is another reason why I should shove my book down his throat and get away with it.
But that's not fair. I'm sure Riku has his reasons. Maybe he has a pushy girlfriend that needs attention and doesn't want to tell me about it yet because I hate girls like that. Yeah. That's it. Augh. Is being nice in my veins or what? I turn around and face Riku. I force a smile.
"…Deal. I've been eyeing the latest version of Vampire Collector since yesterday." I can't help but grin at the pained look on Riku's face. Vampire Collector II amounts up to sixty something. Maybe I'm not so nice after all. "Undercover sadist!" Riku murmurs, stepping in beside me and walking with me all the way to the school entrance. I can't help myself and laugh. Riku joins me.
All the anger I felt moments ago is gone by the time I'm walking to my house alone. Next time, I'll get angry for sure.
