More Than Friends?
Ok, I'm updating chapters 1-10 and the only reason why I updated this chapter early is because of my friend. I only edited this chapter a tiny bit so, there will be more updates to this chapter, though not frequently.
My arm touched the cold desk as I reached for my pencil. In front of me lay a sheet of clear paper. I looked outside the window, thinking of what to draw. I looked back down at the paper and sighed. 'Guess I can draw a face.' I put my mechanical pencil to the paper and started drawing the neck.
"Hey, there, Miku!"
I looked up to see a pink haired girl sitting in front of me with a big smile on her face. Her eyes are sky blue, 'God they were so pretty… Wait, what? Miku? What's with that? I don't even know her!'
"Um… hey, Megurine-san, um is th-"
"Oh, don't be so formal! Call me Luka!"
"Um… Ok, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Well, if you're asking if you can help me finish my lunch, I say no. I just came over to sit with you, you're always by yourself, so, I said, "Why not?" Besides, I want to see what you're drawing."
"Oh, well. I'm just drawing a face, I'm not very good with drawing anything else."
Luka moved to my side and press her arm against me. She leaned her head down to get a look at the drawing.
"Well, I don't see how that's a face, but, it's interesting." I started to laugh.
"What's so funny?" asked a seriously confused Luka.
"It's a neck, I can't draw a face right without the neck."
"Oh! That makes sense!... That's a beautiful smile your making.." Luka's face turned slightly pink as she said that, it was kinda cute.
"..Huh? Oh, thank you.." I replied, rather slowly.
"You should smile more often, your cuter with one." Luka smiled at me and for the first time, I felt a slight pain in my chest.
"Is something in my hair?" I realized I was staring at her.
"Oh! No, u-um, your eyes are very pretty."
"Thank you! Your eyes are pretty too! So how about we go out today?"
'Wha—wait? Huh? Go out today? Wait.. Maybe she means just shopping or something!'
"Please, you're not so out of touch that your thinking I'm asking you out?" Luka smiled and laughed and I started feeling embarrassed. "Your sooo red! Your just so adorable! I want to take you home!"
"Nooooo! Please don't!" I frantically waved my hands in front of my face, laughing at the same time.
Luka replied, still laughing, "Alright, so do you want to go somewhere sometime?"
"I guess, where?"
"How about shopping, Saturday?"
"Sure! I'm looking forward to it!"
Luka got up and smiled at me before leaving. As I was watching her retreating back, I realized I didn't want her to go.
I sat on a stone bench, in front of a fountain and in front of me, were a line of trees.
"Mikuuuuu! Sorry I'm late!... What are you writing there?"
"Umm.. Nothing at all."
Luka smirked, "That response says otherwise! So tell me, are you writing down fantasies of someone you like?" I immediately feel my face burn up.
"No! I just," I struggled to find something to say, "I just like writing poems, that's all!"
"Ho, ho, embarrassed are we?" Luka's almost devilish smirk disappeared, "Nothing to be ashamed about, we all fall in love from time to time, even if you don't realize it." Luka smiled at me then grabbed my hand and started walking. I stared at our hands, and looked around, embarrassed. 'Wait, why am I even embarrassed in the first place? It's normal to see two girls holding hands, right?' I looked around and none of the girls around held hands with each other. 'Okaay, maybe not. But if this isn't normal, then why are we doing it?' I sighed and ended up running into her back.
"What's up?" She looked down and realized, "Oh.." She let go of my hand. "Sorry, I'm just the type who doesn't care what people think of me, kinda forgot that other people don't feel the same way as me."
She smiled and continued walking and it took me a second to realize that she was moving. 'I don't know why, but, I feel disappointed, now that she's stopped holding my hand.'
"Oh my god! There's a sale going on! Come on! Let's go!" She started running and I sighed. 'I hate running.' We ran from where we were previously walking and ended up in front of a big, light pink and white shop that said with bright red colors, "Girl's Swimwear Galore!"
"Oooohoho! They sell swimsuits! Perfect! Almost time for summer too! Come on girl, let's go find you some strings!" Luka excitedly walked inside.
"S-s-str-strings?" I replied worriedly. 'Maybe this girl wasn't as good as I thought..'
"Oh, relax! They don't sell them here!" I sighed in relief as we walked past a shelf and turned, and saw a bunch of swimsuits with just strings. "Oh, I guess they do now! Jeez, I wonder what kind of girl has the guts to wear these!" Luka laughed, "Whatever, I just know I'm going to find you a swimsuit, cause there's no way I'm letting you go to the beach in your school swimsuit! Jeez, just think of all those cute boys who're just dirty old men on the inside. I still can't believe how patient we girls are! I won-" She kept up that one-sided conversation for the whole time we were searching for swimsuits for me to try on.
"Okay! Try them on now!" Luka shoved a swimsuit towards me and started pushing me towards the changing rooms as soon as I grabbed it.
"H-huh? N-now?"
"Well of course! I'm not going to buy them until I know they work for you! It's just such a pain to come back to the store just to return an item!" Luka replied with a slight annoyance in her voice, still pushing me towards the room.
"W-well, I guess, well, give me a second." I sighed once I entered the changing room. 'That girl is sooo pushy, I wonder how she is towards everyone else. And why exactly is it just the two of us again? Wait.. There isn't a reason at all.. She just asked me to go shopping, I thought I'd be going with some of her other friends.. But, here I am, by myself. With her.' For some reason the thought made me smile.
"What are you smiling about? Hmmm?" I hadn't realized Luka entered and I turned to look at her face that had a big smirk plastered all over it. I started feeling my face grow hot and I started looking all over the place.
"U-umm, uh, n-n-nothing." Luka's smirk grew even bigger at that.
"Ho-ho, so you were thinking of something, bet it was something perverted.. I wouldn't blame you after seeing you with that sexy bathing suit." I looked down, realizing that my boobs, were almost completely showing, due to the string around my neck not being tight enough. My bottoms went to my ankles, splitting on one side and stopping at my thigh. All in all, the bathing suit was a dark red with the patterns all across it being either completely black, or very dark red. I started blushing furiously.
"Uh, um, it's not what you think, um, I just couldn't retie this and um, I was thinking about something funny that happened at home!" 'God I'm such a bad liar..'
Luka started laughing, "Your such a bad liar." 'Whoa, did she just hear my thoughts? Holy cow that's scary.' "Here, I'll fix that for you." She stepped in and walked towards me after closing the door. I felt her warm fingertips touch my skin, as she grabbed the strings to tie around my neck. "Would you look at that, your blushing ear to ear! Almost your whole face! You're so adorably cute!" She hugged me from behind, putting her hands against my bare stomach, which caused my face to burn even more while my chest felt a sharp pain and my stomach had butterflies. "Wow, now your face is a tomato, looks like I'm going to have to sell you in the market if you don't stop blushing like that, cause I'm having a hard time telling if you're a tomato or not." She started smiling real big and rested her cheek on my shoulder, and angled her face to see mine. But I didn't realize how close her face was until I turned my head.
