One Day after school just as I was picking his bag up someone jumped on top of me from behind.
"Hey, what's up with you? You've been looking miserable all day," Umehara asked. " I should have been expecting that from him because he knew me so well. "Nothing. Just wish I could tell someone just how much I like them right now," I replied. "You will. When it feels right to you," Umehara replied after getting off me, "So who is she then?" I had to think about this before I opened my mouth and said something really stupid. "That's the thing, it's not a girl I like," I said as I started walking out of the school building. "Well I can definately say I never expected that to come out of your mouth. This is a joke right? Please tell me it's a joke, " Umehara pleaded. "Nope it's not a joke. I half expected you to laugh and make fun of me, " I said. "Who says I'm not gonna make fun of you. Anyway who is he then?" Umehara said with a big grin on his face. "Can't tell you," I responded quickly without thinking.
The reason why I can't tell you is because you're that person. "Why can't you tell me? Is it someone I know?" he asked "Because I just can't tell you. I would be slightly worried if you didn't know them anyway I'll see ya later," I said as I started to run through the park on my way home leaving him standing there trying to figure out who it was I liked.
I was so sure this was just a phase that I was going through but everytime I wasn't with him or I couldn't see his face I constantly thought about him. I knew he didn't have a girlfriend unless he just didn't tell me in case I tried to steal her. The only way I was gonna find out if he likes guys as well was if I asked him but I still didn't have the guts.
Later That Night
"Nii-nii I've been shouting you for the past five minutes. Umehara's come round to see you," Miya shouted through the door. "Sorry for not hearing you but I was listening to my iPod. Tell him he can come up here please Miya," I shouted back. A few moments later Umehara was sat on my bed next his bag. "So do I have to guess or can I annoy you that much you'll tell me just to shut me up?" he asked.
I pretended I didn't hear him and started plugging my iPod into the charger. "I know you heard me. If you don't answer me I'll just have to tell Miya and Kaoru," he said jokingly. I stopped what I was doing for a few seconds. "I'm not telling you. Even if you guess it'll take you a while to find out, so if I were you I wouldn't bother," I said. He went and put his iPod on my docking station so he could play a song that he'd told me about a few days ago and I hadn't got round to listening to yet. The song he put on was Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars. It was actually pretty good. Usually I didn't like the music that he listened to. Right now I felt like listening to the same music as him.
