Chapter Two

oOo

Slowly I began to understand why Natsume didn't want to go to a date with Sumire Shoda.

She was bloody nuts.

She couldn't stop talking about some stupid boy band, fashion and the models she saw in the newest Vogue magazine.

"And then, I was like, no, she can't be that fucking thin. I mean, she had size zero. Can you freaking believe it? It's like she's two sticks connected together." Sumire told me as we took our seats in the theater's main hall where the show was about to start.

"Really?" I asked her, trying to sound interested. All I wanted was to have a free Friday evening, was it too much to ask?

"Yes, and, like, I really want to have their body, I have been trying out a lot of diets but they never work for me. Maybe I should look after the things I eat. I usually forgot that sugar and sweets aren't that good for your body. I mean, I can't resist them, they are calling for me when I'm in the shop."

I rolled my eyes and thought how much free space is there in this chick's head. She sounded nuts for nineteen year old girl.

"Have you ever thought if we are the only species alive in the universe?" Sumire asked me but I didn't get the chance to answer because somebody called her.

She had one of One Direction's songs as her phone's ring tone. I felt ashamed when some people in front of us turned around to take a look at us.

"Heyo, sweet cheeks, what do you want?" She yelled in the phone, ignoring my soft tugs on her shirts sleeve to pipe the fuck down.

"Oh, noes, I'm at theater with a guy. Yes, a guy you don't know, silly." She laughed and softly punched my shoulder.

"Can you tell your girlfriend to shut up?" A girl, who sat beside me, asked as she gave me a death glare.

I nodded and turned toward Sumire to tug on her arm stronger. She yelped, drew the phone away from her face and turned her head to give me a confused look.

"Can you talk softer?" I asked her, hoping she'll understand that she really needs to shut up for good.

"Sorry, it's my best friend forever; I can't talk with her softly." She made a face and drew the phone back to her to continue her chat.

I drew my mobile phone out from my jeans pocket and wrote a text message to Natsume Hyuuga.

U R GOING 2 FUCKING PAY 4 MY FUCKED UP NERVES

oOo

After the show, we went to closest club.

I didn't really want it but Sumire was the one who nagged me to come with her since the show was boring and she couldn't let the first date be a failure.

I didn't want to tell her that the date had already failed in many ways.

"We need to get to the club to get the groove on." She laughed at her little joke and I rolled my eyes at her when she wasn't looking at me.

"Have you had any girlfriends, Koko?" she asked me as we were walking toward the club.

"Yes, you could say that I had two. One was my high school sweetheart and the other was just a friend with benefits."

"Ooh," she made a sound that was inhuman. "I haven't had a boyfriend, yet."

The 'yet' part in her speech was unnecessary since I had already decided that there would be no second dates with her.

"Cool," I tried to smile and sound interested. It wasn't like I didn't like the idea of dating a prude. The idea of saving yourself for the only one sounded very posh but it wasn't my thing.

"Do you want to be my boyfriend?" She asked as she spun around and took few quick steps toward me. I didn't have the chance to answer as she pushed me against the wall and drew her face really close to mine.

"Koko, I really want to kiss you. Is it okay if I do that?" she asked, sounding breathless.

I opened my mouth to scream for help but she took it the wrong way and leaned closer to me. Before she could actually lock lips with mine, I pushed her away. She looked at me, being dumbfounded.

"I don't really like making out in the public." I lied, faking a laugh.

"Oh, I'm so sorry." She stepped back and smiled at me with the nicest smile I have seen today.

"It's okay, maybe inside-"

I didn't get the chance to finish my sentence because suddenly Sumire grabbed my hand and dragged me with her down the street to the club we were aiming for.

"We have no time to waste, Koko." She called and we made our way down the street. We passed few couples who looked at us strangely. I just hoped that nobody recognized me as we ran into the club. The bouncer didn't even check our ID cards. Maybe there was something about Sumire Shoda that made him scared from the way she yelled at him to step away for the Queen and her King or maybe he just knew from the first look he took at her, that she was a trouble.

When we found an empty table, she made me sit at it.

"I'll be back soon, sugar lump." She winked at me and disappeared in the crowd that was on the dance floor, leaving me completely alone.

I took out my phone to send another text message to Natsume.

As I looked at my phone's screen, I noticed that I had one unchecked message. It was from Natsume.

Bud, I'm sorry.

I answered him with one harsh word and threw my phone back in my jacket's pocket.

I should have known better. Natsume was trouble but his girlfriends always turned out to be lost in their heads, expect for Mikan Sakura who was such a sweetie. I wonder what she had found in Natsume when she was dating him.

As I was lost in my thoughts, I didn't notice that Sumire came back. She slammed her fists on the table and I almost lost my balance on the stool.

"Silly Koko can't handle a girl like me?" she laughed in my face and I only grinned, trying to hide the deep blush on my cheeks.

"You're a fierce for a boy like me." I told her as she took my hand and pulled me down the stool.

"Come, dance with me." She whispered in my ear and dragged me toward the dance floor.

I didn't like to look whipped by my date but I was too afraid to talk back.

As she started to spin me around, I found myself actually enjoying the night.

Sumire Shoda was a great dancer and I had to admit that the other guy attention we received made me feel proud about my date.

When the song on the dance floor changed to a slow one, she grabbed my hand and pushed herself against my body.

"I love this song." She whispered in my ear and closed her eyes and melted with the song.

It doesn´t matter if the stars forget us

It doesn´t matter if the world don´t know our names

It doesn´t matter if they talk about us

It doesn´t matter cause we are in, we are in love

I lost myself in the sound of the calm music and the sweet perfume of Sumire Shoda.
