Inoe ruffled my hair as we went to our seperate homes. Today was so much to take in.. Should I tell her, or should I even tell Tatsuki? What if they are secretly crushing on him? Dear god.. This is gonna be Hell.
I walk little by little till I noticed a tall figure, walking a ways infront of me. Oh god! I thought, What if it's Kurosaki? I need to relax.. I am sure it's another highschool Junior headed home, and not the Ichigo kind.
The further I had gotten, the closer the man seemed to appear.Shit! I thought. My worst night mare had come true, it was Ichigo.. But his house is in the opposite direction. "Unless?" I said loud enough for the whole world to hear.
"Takimaru?", he said my name(EEEPPPPPP),"Is that you? Funny thing is..Uhh haha...", he scratched the back of his he nervous? But why would he be? He was calm at school whenever he helped me up. Wait, that should be the least of my worries. Why is he heading in that direction?
I stopped, dead in my tracks. "Ichi- I mean," Inhaling, I corrected myself, "Kurosaki. What are you doing on this side of the neighborhood?"
It's true, he usually doesn't EVER hang in this part of town. What could he be up to?
" Well, you see... I uhh..."
"You?" I got closer to him to make sure I heard him say the sentance completely.
"I wanted to give something to you... To tell you I was sorry.." He handed me a box." But don't open it. I have another surprise to go with it. Can I come over to your house for a little bit?" I couldn't believ my ears. I was talking about how weird it would be for us to be together this morning, and now... He is actually coming over.
"Uhh, I'm sure my parents wouldn't mind a friend coming over for an hour or so." I blushed, so I looked the other way to try to hide it.
The whole walk home, which took probably about 5 minutes, was very peaceful not to mention still weird. We accosionalluy brushed hands which made me feel a bit of a tingle inside. When we finnaly walked inside, I wasn't sure how to introduce him or anything.. I couldn't say "Hey I have a guy over, don't bother us!" that would sound extremely weird. But Ichigo knew exactly what he was doing, like he had rehursed this exact moment or something.
"Hello, Takimaru didn't mention bringing company with him today, let alone a guy, not a girl", my mom sqealed as we walked through the kitchen where she was cooking. I can't believe she pointed out that I don't bring boys over.. How embarassing.
"Yeah, we bumped into eachother today and we haven't really talked since I kicked him durring karate in the dojo and he knocked one of my teeth out.", Ichi said flawlessly like he was talking to his own parents. "Which explains why I forgot about him, since I did try to avoid him after that"
He laughed and then I shot my mom a serious look to show her that I am ready to take him and show him my room like I usually do with all the girls that come over. And she shook her head.
I tugged on his shirt," Time to go now Kurosaki, C'mon." we headed up the stairs and on into my bedroom. I sat down on my bed and he just stood in the doorway." Are you okay? Is there something wrong?"
"No... It's just, your room in giant!" He stepped in and noticed all the manga drawings on my walls. "Neat, so are you going to be a manga-ka?" he asked peering at the notebooks on my desk labled: Taki's Manga.
"Nahh, it's just a past time.. So lets get on with this, What was this other surprise?" I took the small black box out og my coat pocket.
He sat on my bed next to me," Close your eyes." he commanded," and no peaking!"
"alright alright" I insisted closing my eyes tight. All of a sudden I felt a that same tingle inside me that I got on the walk here. Then out of nowhere, I felt something on my lips. Wait? Did he just kiss me?
