Chapter Two: The Bandana
====================================================
Everybody looked at Takato on what he just yelled. It's not long until Takato noticed that everybody was looking at him. He was starting to get melted by their heat vision. He did the only thing to do, he sat down humiliated, embarrassed. Then the class laughed. Takato received their laughs mortified.
"Well I guess you know our new student." Their teacher said. "Class meet our new student, Rika Nonaka."
"Hi! I'm Rika Nonaka" Rika said with a smile.
Her smile surely gonna make you believe that she good and nice but most especially cute. What happened to Rika and she started to smile?
The classroom was then filled with reaction.
"We could get along with her."
"I bet she from the planet cute."
"Yeah were does she gets that perfect looks"
As for Takato he was just thinking. He was thinking that one of his friends are closer now. So close that she's in his classroom. It doesn't really matter whether she change or not because she's here, everyday. To tell the truth she really changed. She more elegant and attractive. Maybe because her smile perfectly match with her looks. Then Takato remembered something. Last summer he had a little crush on her.
When he sometimes pass by the park Rika was sitting on a bench alone maybe just resting or something. He always greets her but then she response with an insult, the most common thing that Rika could do then the most wonderful part of it is she smiles afterwards. Takato never saw her after the summer vacation maybe that's why his crush didn't really grew but now...
"Where can you sit?" Their teacher said that made Takato come back to reality.
"There at the back of Matsuda." Their teacher said while pointing at the empty desk.
Takato was shock, very shock.
Rika followed the teacher's order and went to the desk. Takato watch every step that Rika did. She went closer and closer to Takato. He gulp. And when Takato was about to scream. She already passed him and sat on the chair at his back.
And now he could see her everyday by just looking behind him. Finally a reason to be exited with school not that he wasn't exited to see Jeri. Then their teacher said,
"Ms. Nonaka will stay with us for month because their permanent stay to Hawaii was delayed for a month."
This made the class sigh.
"Yeah I know it's a bummer but she could stay with us for another month won't she class?" The teacher said.
"Yes, Sir Dylan!" The whole class said altogether (Yay I'm a teacher . I know I'm way too young to be a teacher. Heck I'm only 1st year high school. But this is Fan Fiction.)
"Now let's start class!" Sir Dylan said making the whole class groan.
The day passed and now Takato was in his room safe and sound. He was now lying in bed thinking of one thing, Rika came back and only for a month. But who knows what will happen for another month. Then Takato finally falls asleep.
-----A week later: 3:00 PM at the Park-----
It's been a week since Rika came to Takato's class. It wasn't long for Rika's name to spread to the whole school because of her striking looks. She had many friends since then.
Well It's the weekend now. Takato could spent some time by himself thinking about someone. He was sitting on a bench with deep thoughts until...
"YOUCH!!!" Takato screamed because a volleyball just hit his head.
Takato yelp in pain as he touch his bump. Miraculously there wasn't a bump or any side effects like dizziness or what so ever. And then someone came rushing toward Takato. Takato was too busy receiving the pain to see who the person was. And Takato made the wrong decision not looking at the person. Then the person said,
"I'm really sorry! Did I hurt you?"
"Of coarse it hurt! Ow! " Takato said then he looked at the person. The person was Rika. Rika, the person in his dreams for the last weeks, the person in his thought and faith intervene them by a volleyball hit.
"I could get an ice bag." Rika said while consciously looking at Takato.
"No I'm sorry to over react. It's nothing." He said making an impression that nothing happened.
"Goggle head, With your weak statistics, I thought I had to call an ambulance for that." Rika said while breathing.
"For all this time you still call me goggle head" Takato answered.
"Well your still goggle head aren't you. Still stupid, dumb, impudent and consider naive." Rika said.
"Yeah I guess so...but that's mean!" Takato answered then he realized that Rika was close to him. Man Takato is paying too much attention to Rika.
Then Rika grabbed the volleyball that hit Takato then said,
"To make it up to you let's play volleyball"
"Uh..." He answered, second thinking . Is he still not too K.O. too play a sport with RIKA! Of coarse he is! This is a good opportunity to show off.
"What's the matter goggle head to chicken to challenge me?" Rika said, mocking again and maybe just maybe encouraging him. Yeah right.
"I maybe bad at gym but atleast I'm still muscular to hit a beach ball." Takato said standing up.
"Takato it's a volleyball. You'll die if you try." Rika answered.
"Well I guess I could try." Takato said while figuring out what's the position of the hands when you hit a volleyball.
"This is gonna be interesting" Rika said with an evil grin.
-----An hour passed-----
Rika and Takato sat on a bench with a Gatorade in their hands.
"Well a few more hits and you could graduate from loser's of the volleyball." Rika mocked.
"Very funny. How am I suppose to receive a spike hit anyway?" Takato answered.
"Well I guess you could still practice. If you can." Rika said before she drank her Gatorade.
Silence filled the two until Takato observed that he was sitting beside Rika. His heart was bouncing non-stop (I know that this is over reacting but it's what people think when they're in-love). Maybe his attention too Rika was cause by the game and the Gatorade. He then thought,
"Takato say something"
"Uh Rika..." Takato said.
"What?" Rika said while facing Takato.
"Why are you ---" Takato was about to finish when it started raining.
"Oh great!" Rika said standing as Takato stood too.
With out any signal the two ran for the nearest shed as fast as they can avoiding the rain as if they could do it.
"This is perfect we could get stuck in this rain all day" Takato said while brushing his wet hair.
"Well we can't do anything about it" Rika said.
Takato sat down as Rika did. It was long until Takato noticed that he was again sitting with Rika! Again,
"Hey goggle head, what are you about to ask me." Rika said while facing Takato.
When Rika looked at Takato, she noticed that he was very wow with his damp hair! She can't help but smile. For Takato, he was thinking what to say, and it better be good,
"Takato asked her something" He thought while glancing at Rika.
He then noticed a bandana tied around her wrist. He realized that she always have that bandana everyday.
"Hey Rika why do you have a bandana in your wrist?"
Yes Takato found a perfect question. Now all he has to do is listen at her sweet melodramatic voice.
"Huh you mean this?" She said while touching the bandana.
"It's just for accessories" She answered.
Takato dropped anime style.
"Just kidding. This bandana, it was given to my by my dad...my real dad..." Rika said while recalling her memories last summer.
"Last summer my mom told me the truth of where my dad was." Rika said.
"So did you find him?" Takato said like he was innocent.
"Yeah. First I had my doubts but latter on I thought that he is responsible of me being here, so I guess I have the right to face him." She had a point.
"When I knocked on the door a man greeted me. I introduced my self and shown him my birth certificate. I thought his going to shoe me away but he didn't, he welcomed me in his house. He said sorry to me for his short comings of being a father. He admitted that he loved my mom but he ran away after she got pregnant." Rika staring at the bandana, reviving the memories of his lost father.
"So how'd you got the bandana?"
"I was about to leave when he gave me a set of bandana. He said that it should be a gift for me but he hadn't had a chance to give it." Rika said and maybe her dad was really important that's why she wears the bandana everyday.
"Oh...so you've been visiting your dad for the last months." Takato said looking at the rain.
"Yeah. Want to know why were going to Hawaii?" She asked.
"Sure." Takato said with a little frown.
"Well mom is engaged with a businessman living in Hawaii and the wedding while be held once we get their next month. We'll stay their permanently." Rika said mope.
"Hmmm.... That'll be a problem" Takato said trying to reconsider.
"Why would you say that?" Rika gave Takato confusing look.
"You've been longing too see your dad since he left you and now you had the opportunity to see him." He paused staring blankly then continued. "I'm sure it'll be really hard too move on especially that he could only be a memory" Takato said while giving a guiltless face.
"Why would I feel like that?" Rika asked.
"Well....uh....Look it stop raining!" Takato said because he might spill that he has feelings for her and it's true it stopped raining.
"Not fair! I shared and you being cruel!" Rika shouted at his face.
Takato couldn't say no to Rika because she the ice queen or else he'll get an uppercut but he decide to face the very unpredictable consequences in a so absolutely suspecting way,
"Err...that's a question you must answer." He said with a brave voice while praying that what Rika will do won't hurt much.
"I know you're hiding something but I'm gonna find out sooner or later. You can't hide anything or maybe anyone?" Rika said giving Takato a breathe.
He can't believe it, she let him true with that suspecting answer but he can't let his guard down.
"Ok...So what do you want to do now?" Takato asked.
"Well my mom would be worried if I don't get home early." Rika answered looking at the clock on the park.
Takato nodded.
Rika was about to leave when she turned to Takato and she said,
"Takato can you do me a favor and dry off your hair before you could get pneumonia"
Takato quickly took out his handkerchief and brushed it on his still wet hair.
"Guess doctors have too wait" Takato said.
"That's fine. I was just wondering... if you can come with me to a tournament in a resort. I have an extra ticket and everything" Rika asked.
"Well I'm not doing anything tomorrow, sure. I'd like to something else tomorrow." Takato answered.
"Anyway meet you at the park before 9:30" Rika said asked.
"I'll be there." Takato answered.
"You'll better be!" She said with a raging look at Takato and went off while waving goodbye.
When Rika was out of sight, Takato almost fainted at the shed. He just think that she invited him. He rushed to his house.
That night he was just in his room thinking...
"Hmmm what will happen tomorrow? Tomorrow, a day with her, my crush and love life"
It was the only thing he thought then he finally fell asleep.
