(Author's note: I'm sorry if the first chapter was mixed up. Can't help to
mess up cause it was my first chapter. *WARNING* Rika is nice in this
chapter. what a mystery. Maybe because she's in love.)
By: crystal-eidolon. But for this fic, call me Dylan.
Dylan: Well now I just made the 2nd chapter and.
Rika: I just read the draft and I'm going to KILL you! Your gonna make me.
Takato: I peeked at the story too. I'm going to be. Grawwww! I'm going to make you pay!
Rika: Let's do it goggle-head. Renamon ready?
Renamon: Yeah!
Takato: Guilmon, be prepared!
Guilmon: As you said it.
Renamon Matrix evolves to Sakuyamon!
Guilmon Matrix evolves to Gallantmon!
Dylan: Good thing I brought my Pumice. Ark Eidolon I summon you!
Dylan holds up the Pumice. A bright glow appears. A metal ship appears from the glow. When the ship finally crosses dimension, it changed into a human- formed robot.
Dylan: Now, it's a fair fight.
Dylan jumps on Ark.
Rika: Well two heads are better than one.
Takato: Yeah we're definitely going to defeat you!
Dylan: Let's see. (Is what I'm going to do with them that bad?)
Dylan's voice: I don't own Digimon or the other characters so no suing ok!
Chapter 2 I can't imagine
It was a great sunny day when Takato awoke.
"I'm going to tell her today," Takato whispered to himself.
Yesterday was Jeri's party. The thing that made Takato happy is Rika was nice to him all day.
"I wonder what's going to happen today?" Takato thought while checking his cellphone for messages, probably Rika's message.
All he can see at his cellphone's inbox, we're Kazu's joke, Kenta's scoop, Henry's news and Jeri's inspirational messages. But something caught his eye at the end of his inbox. It was a message from Rika.
Takato reads the message
"Hi goggle-head, I've been thinking maybe today will be the greatest day of my life. No it would be my most wonderful day. 'Cause I'm going to go out with my BOYFRIEND which will practically be my most special reason. I'm going to see him again, his cute handsome face and his shinning smile. Hang on the right track and don't lose your self. Ok?(My message is too long isn't)"
That message made Takato 's heart swell. It inspired him, maybe to confess (No! don't do it). He got up on his bed with a smile on his face because Rika gave him the strength to go through out day. He took off his pajamas and went to the shower. After the shower, he still can't take his mind off the message (who wouldn't be). He then wore a white T-shirt, a black vest, and loose jeans. And don't forget the goggles! (Yes, our goggle-head has a new wardrobe).
-----At Nonaka Residence-----
Rika was lying on her bed thinking what to do.
"Maybe music will ease my mind," she thought.
She turned on the television and watched MTV. All the music video being presented was the romantic type that made Rika's inner self cry. 'Cause she can almost see Takato's tears falling down from his cheeks.
"Maybe I should get ready now," she ordered herself.
She took off her PJ's and went to the shower (Oops! no nudity please). After the shower, she dug up her closet to find a beautiful wardrobe. So when Takato sees her, he will have a smile on his face to lighten him up. She wore a light blue tube, a light blue jacket and light blue pants (set your imagination free!). She still tied up her hair. She went down to eat breakfast. As she sat ready to eat, her mother commented.
"What a beautiful outfit! Where are we going today?" Her mom spoke.
"Um. the amusement park," Rika replied
"Anyone special we're going out with?" Her mom commented again
"No...not really. It's just Takato," she replied again.
"I can't believe my little baby is all grown up and going out with dates!" Her mom said jokingly.
"Mom, its not a date! It's just a trip to the park with goggle-head," Rika said angrily.
"Okay, honey. But be back at 8:00." Her mother changed the subject
"When you get back, tell me every thing that happened" Her mom joked while leaving.
"What is she talking about!" Rika muttered to herself
"But Rika your mother is right. You are becoming a beautiful lady, and becoming quite attractive." Her grandma said with joy.
"Hmp." Rika said frustrated.
After Rika finished her meal,
Ding-dong !
The sound from the front door caught Rika's attention.
"That must be Takato," Rika said (Rika, your calling goggle-head's name).
Rika rushed through the door but she was surprise when her grandma was already talking with Takato. Rika rushed through the scene.
"Hi.Takato" Rika said while she drags Takato out of the house.
"Rika, you said my name," Takato said happily.
"Yeah.so?" Rika asked.
"Um. never mind. Here," Takato brought up a bouquet of roses.
"Rika please don't punch me," Takato whispered to himself.
"Takato I heard that. But don't worry, I won't punch you." Rika said in a good tone, taking the roses from Takato's hand.
"Wow Takato, your really sweet!" Rika said romantically.
"What am I saying?" Rika muttered to herself.
"I'm really glad you liked it. Oh by the way, here's a card." Takato takes out a card, handing it over to Rika.
Rika reads the message.
"Obstacles in life are tests of who we are. If we don't like the result of the test, we study and change our action to yield better result."
"Takato did you made this all by yourself?" Rika asked.
"Not really. I got it from a message," Takato said with a thin blush
Rika went inside the house. She put the roses and the card on the table. And went outside to meet up with Takato again.
"Takato, let's go!" Rika said.
"Yeah. Um.Rika you have a nice outfit," Takato blurted out.
"Thanks! Do you like it?" Rika said with pleasure while walking.
"Yeah! it really suits you." Takato said with delight
"Takato you have a new look too. It really looks nice on you." Rika said
"Well it's all just for this occasion." Takato said with a mere blush
Finally they have reached the subway. They went on the train going to the amusement park (They're too fast, aren't they?).
-----At the amusement park-----
Rika and Takato went in the park. They both rode the roller coaster and enjoyed the Ferris wheel. It was almost lunchtime so they went to the amusement park's restaurant (Whoa! time is fast, isn't it?). It was a very big place with roller bladed waiters ready to serve. They took a table near the aquarium. They ordered their lunch. They talked about many things and stuff. They were laughing and having fun together (They're so sweet!). They didn't noticed that someone was spying on them. It was Henry (Why did Henry thought of going to the amusement park?).
"I envy them. Laughing and having fun together. Together? Are they a couple now? This great! Takato is growing up as I see. But don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Henry thought.
Henry was about to leave when he saw Jeri.
"Hey, Henry what are ya doing here?" Jeri asked.
"Nothing really. How about you, what are you doing here anyway?" Henry turned over the question.
"Me? I was going to, you know, looking at things and stuff. I'm going to New York the day after tomorrow," Jeri answered
"Hey I got an idea! Why don't you come with me, if you're not that busy?" Jeri invites
"Sure, why not?" Henry gladly accepted.
So they went to enjoy themselves.
-----Back at Takato and Rika-----
The two finished their lunch and headed for the rides again. After that, they walk through the room of mirrors
Rika and Takato got separated from the room. Rika looks around and saw her reflection.
"Mirrors don't lie," she thought
Rika looked at the corner and saw Takato. Takato was, well. looking and staring at the mirror, improving himself. Rika laughs a bit.
"Is he going somewhere in improving himself? Maybe no and yes? The question is what am I gonna tell him if he said 'I love you'?" Rika thought.
"Hey Takato stop staring at the mirror. It might shatter!" Rika said with a little laugh (Now that's Rika!).
Takato blushed carnation pink.
They continued along the main street of the amusement park. They entered a park with a pond. It was a petting zoo.
A bunny went to Rika's feet. Rika took it up. Then a little girl came rushing to get the it.
"Hey is this your bunny?" Rika asked the little girl.
"Yep!" the little girl answered.
"Here," Rika said, giving the bunny.
"Thanks, Miss." the little girl said.
"Welcome." Rika said with a smile.
"Hope you and your boyfriend get along. He's really cute for you" The little girl said and waved goodbye.
Both of them blushed red pinkish. Rika on the other hand was still thinking. if Takato will be heart broken or not.
"I should tell him to be my fake boyfriend now or else...But how will I tell him?" Rika thought.
Takato was thinking of how will he say 'I love you' to Rika.
"Takato act fast you don't have time...this is a once in a lifetime opportunity," Takato thought, sweat dropping.
"Well Takato, want to sit down?" Rika said inviting him.
"Sure. We've been standing here for a minute."
They both sat down in a bench in the park. It was 6:00 when Takato noticed (Time is fast again, isn't it?). Takato looked around. There were couples together around them. Takato knew this was a great opportunity to tell her. Rika was just looking at the sunset.
"Hey Takato. Doesn't it look beautiful?" Rika said, pointing at the sunset
"Yeah. It reminds me that everything will end up. Just like Guilmon and the others..." Takato said quietly.
"You and Guilmon are really close together, aren't you?" Rika asked.
"Yeah, we had some great time together but now-" He paused.
"Hey Rika do you miss Renamon?" Takato asked
"At first I always thought she was a fighter." Rika exclaimed
Behind a tree was Henry and Jeri watching. They were watching them since Henry told Jeri on what he saw (I thought Henry won't tell anyone what he saw).
"I can't believe it!" Jeri shouted faintly.
"Believe it Jeri," Henry replied.
"They're so sweet together don't they" Jeri added
"Yeah...let's not bother them anyway. We might spoil their fun," Henry said with a laugh while taking Jeri somewhere else.
-----Back at Takato and Rika-----
Takato noticed that they were just sitting there for about 30 minutes.
"Well I guess I have to tell her either way," Takato thought with a gulp
Takato took up all his guts and was ready to say it (moment of truth).
"I have to tell you some thing Rika" Takato started
"What is it?" Rika asked
"Rika, you've been nice to me and ---" Takato paused
"And what Takato?" Rika asked again.
"And I love you" Takato said to Rika directly
Rika's P.O.V.
My mind started to make me say; "I love you too" to Takato, but something else came to me. I just kissed him yesterday and now this. Then I said.
"Takato to tell you the truth. Yesterday, my school said that I'm going to be in a pageant and the only thing to avoid this is. I must have a boyfriend. I started to think on hiring one, that is when I saw. Sorry. if I picked you, 'cause you have all the characteristics of a true boyfriend for me. Your cute, hansom, smart, funny and I do like you a little. But I can't fall-in-love with you, because I'm the "Digimon queen". We could only be friends."
"Well. you should have just told me," Takato said with a confused look
I knew that he was mad at me because I didn't tell the truth. But then he said.
"Sure. Just call me. What are "friends" for anyway?" Takato said with an invisible smile.
The word "friend" caught my attention. The literal meaning of the word "friend" is: an attachment to one another with respect or "affection". I wonder what is my friendship level with Takato? Then he ended up the conversation.
"Well it's getting late, maybe we should go home now." He said to me straightly.
I could see on his face that he really wanted to go home. So I said,
"Sure" I said back steadily.
That was the last thing I said to him that day.
We rode the subway with complete silence. After that we walk all the way at our house. I glanced at my cellphone and it was almost 7:30. I new it was dinner but I didn't felt any hunger. My mind was determined to get away with reality. I just wanted to think it was a lie that I should rise above.
When I looked at Takato, I felt so lonely, seeing him like that. He was just looking down and I can't see even see his eyes. That was the first time I felt so sorry for someone. I knew he was just pretending not to cry but I can hear his inner heart crying. I felt his heart shattered, at the moment I told him the truth. He was so silent, and so am I too.
When we arrived our house, I wave goodbye and so does he. He continued walking getting out of sight, as I watch him. I rang the bell. My mother opened the door. Maybe she felt my feelings because she didn't make fun of me. She just said...
"Well, nice to see you honey. You look very tired. Why don't you go to your room and rest for a while." My mom said plainly.
"Sure Mom." I replied back
I walk straight to my room. I open the door as I entered and immediately closing it. I look out of my window but I didn't saw Takato. I lied on my bed thinking.
"Why did I did that? Did I did that on purpose? Why did I stop my self? Why did I told him the truth? Is the truth better to tell with sadness? Or to lie to him about what I did to make us both happy?"
I kept asking that question over and over again. I felt suddenly cold, for a breeze just came in my room. Then I heard something outside.
It was raining. I felt so weird inside. Something was falling down in my eyes. I touched my eyes and it was ......tears.
Takato's P.O.V.
I was walking down the street when suddenly it rained. I zipped my vest and coated my head. I was running fast because I was getting wet, but the main reason was......I was crying. My tears mixed up with the rain as I run. Continuously looking for the nearest shed, I ended up at a bus stop.
I was still crying. I was gonna call mom and dad so they can fetch me, when two figure was about to come. I quickly wiped my tears when I saw that the two figures were Jeri and Henry. Jeri was under Henry's blue umbrella while Henry was quite blushing. They came rushing to me. Then Henry spoke.
"Hey Takato you look quite depressed" Henry said innocently to me
"Is it because of the rain or something else?" Jeri asked me
"Um. Not really, I just got stranded in this rain" I said like nothing happened.
"Well, your house is on the way to Jeri's house, so why don't you come with us" Henry invited me.
"Yeah, you don't want to catch a cold, do you?" Jeri added.
"Sure, why not" I agreed.
We three walk as it rains cats and dogs. I noticed that Henry was blushing while Jeri was smiling and I really admired the two of them. We were in front of my house when I waved goodbye and they too waved goodbye. As I entered the house my mom touched my forehead and said.
"Takato you're having a slight fever. Drink some medicine before you go to your room and rest" My mom said handling over the medicine syrup.
"Hey son you're getting love sick more often this days" My dad flirted
"Hey! How could I be love sick with someone" I shouted a little.
"I'm right. How could I be love sick if Rika doesn't like me?" I thought while drinking the medicine.
"Now Takato, it's just a joke don't take so hard. But maybe your mad because it's true, isn't it?" My mom flirted more while taking the medicine.
I marched steaming upstairs until I heard my dad say.
"Our son is growing fast and getting love sick." My dad said with a laugh.
It made me more steaming.
As I entered my room I was already in my pajama with a brushed teeth and washed face. I was already lying on my bed and it was still raining. I was still thinking of what just happened. I kept questioning myself why?.
"Was Rika forced to say no? Or Rika did her decision by herself? If so Rika might think I was the most easiest to fool that's why she choose me. What does Rika think of me before? What does she thinks of me now? Will I ever have a chance to change what just happened? Or will be I be heartbroken forever this way?"
I just couldn't think. I stand up and sat on my desk chair. I noticed that my diary was beside me. I wrote ever happy and sad moment that happened this day. When I finish writing it and reviewed and read it. The word that Rika said caught my eye.
"We could only be friends"
I noticed that I was already......crying.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Dylan jumps on Ark.
Rika: Well two heads are better than one.
Takato: Yeah we're definitely going to defeat you!
Dylan: Let's see. (Is what I'm going to do with them that bad?)
Dylan's voice: I don't own Digimon or the other characters so no suing ok!
Chapter 2 I can't imagine
It was a great sunny day when Takato awoke.
"I'm going to tell her today," Takato whispered to himself.
Yesterday was Jeri's party. The thing that made Takato happy is Rika was nice to him all day.
"I wonder what's going to happen today?" Takato thought while checking his cellphone for messages, probably Rika's message.
All he can see at his cellphone's inbox, we're Kazu's joke, Kenta's scoop, Henry's news and Jeri's inspirational messages. But something caught his eye at the end of his inbox. It was a message from Rika.
Takato reads the message
"Hi goggle-head, I've been thinking maybe today will be the greatest day of my life. No it would be my most wonderful day. 'Cause I'm going to go out with my BOYFRIEND which will practically be my most special reason. I'm going to see him again, his cute handsome face and his shinning smile. Hang on the right track and don't lose your self. Ok?(My message is too long isn't)"
That message made Takato 's heart swell. It inspired him, maybe to confess (No! don't do it). He got up on his bed with a smile on his face because Rika gave him the strength to go through out day. He took off his pajamas and went to the shower. After the shower, he still can't take his mind off the message (who wouldn't be). He then wore a white T-shirt, a black vest, and loose jeans. And don't forget the goggles! (Yes, our goggle-head has a new wardrobe).
-----At Nonaka Residence-----
Rika was lying on her bed thinking what to do.
"Maybe music will ease my mind," she thought.
She turned on the television and watched MTV. All the music video being presented was the romantic type that made Rika's inner self cry. 'Cause she can almost see Takato's tears falling down from his cheeks.
"Maybe I should get ready now," she ordered herself.
She took off her PJ's and went to the shower (Oops! no nudity please). After the shower, she dug up her closet to find a beautiful wardrobe. So when Takato sees her, he will have a smile on his face to lighten him up. She wore a light blue tube, a light blue jacket and light blue pants (set your imagination free!). She still tied up her hair. She went down to eat breakfast. As she sat ready to eat, her mother commented.
"What a beautiful outfit! Where are we going today?" Her mom spoke.
"Um. the amusement park," Rika replied
"Anyone special we're going out with?" Her mom commented again
"No...not really. It's just Takato," she replied again.
"I can't believe my little baby is all grown up and going out with dates!" Her mom said jokingly.
"Mom, its not a date! It's just a trip to the park with goggle-head," Rika said angrily.
"Okay, honey. But be back at 8:00." Her mother changed the subject
"When you get back, tell me every thing that happened" Her mom joked while leaving.
"What is she talking about!" Rika muttered to herself
"But Rika your mother is right. You are becoming a beautiful lady, and becoming quite attractive." Her grandma said with joy.
"Hmp." Rika said frustrated.
After Rika finished her meal,
Ding-dong !
The sound from the front door caught Rika's attention.
"That must be Takato," Rika said (Rika, your calling goggle-head's name).
Rika rushed through the door but she was surprise when her grandma was already talking with Takato. Rika rushed through the scene.
"Hi.Takato" Rika said while she drags Takato out of the house.
"Rika, you said my name," Takato said happily.
"Yeah.so?" Rika asked.
"Um. never mind. Here," Takato brought up a bouquet of roses.
"Rika please don't punch me," Takato whispered to himself.
"Takato I heard that. But don't worry, I won't punch you." Rika said in a good tone, taking the roses from Takato's hand.
"Wow Takato, your really sweet!" Rika said romantically.
"What am I saying?" Rika muttered to herself.
"I'm really glad you liked it. Oh by the way, here's a card." Takato takes out a card, handing it over to Rika.
Rika reads the message.
"Obstacles in life are tests of who we are. If we don't like the result of the test, we study and change our action to yield better result."
"Takato did you made this all by yourself?" Rika asked.
"Not really. I got it from a message," Takato said with a thin blush
Rika went inside the house. She put the roses and the card on the table. And went outside to meet up with Takato again.
"Takato, let's go!" Rika said.
"Yeah. Um.Rika you have a nice outfit," Takato blurted out.
"Thanks! Do you like it?" Rika said with pleasure while walking.
"Yeah! it really suits you." Takato said with delight
"Takato you have a new look too. It really looks nice on you." Rika said
"Well it's all just for this occasion." Takato said with a mere blush
Finally they have reached the subway. They went on the train going to the amusement park (They're too fast, aren't they?).
-----At the amusement park-----
Rika and Takato went in the park. They both rode the roller coaster and enjoyed the Ferris wheel. It was almost lunchtime so they went to the amusement park's restaurant (Whoa! time is fast, isn't it?). It was a very big place with roller bladed waiters ready to serve. They took a table near the aquarium. They ordered their lunch. They talked about many things and stuff. They were laughing and having fun together (They're so sweet!). They didn't noticed that someone was spying on them. It was Henry (Why did Henry thought of going to the amusement park?).
"I envy them. Laughing and having fun together. Together? Are they a couple now? This great! Takato is growing up as I see. But don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Henry thought.
Henry was about to leave when he saw Jeri.
"Hey, Henry what are ya doing here?" Jeri asked.
"Nothing really. How about you, what are you doing here anyway?" Henry turned over the question.
"Me? I was going to, you know, looking at things and stuff. I'm going to New York the day after tomorrow," Jeri answered
"Hey I got an idea! Why don't you come with me, if you're not that busy?" Jeri invites
"Sure, why not?" Henry gladly accepted.
So they went to enjoy themselves.
-----Back at Takato and Rika-----
The two finished their lunch and headed for the rides again. After that, they walk through the room of mirrors
Rika and Takato got separated from the room. Rika looks around and saw her reflection.
"Mirrors don't lie," she thought
Rika looked at the corner and saw Takato. Takato was, well. looking and staring at the mirror, improving himself. Rika laughs a bit.
"Is he going somewhere in improving himself? Maybe no and yes? The question is what am I gonna tell him if he said 'I love you'?" Rika thought.
"Hey Takato stop staring at the mirror. It might shatter!" Rika said with a little laugh (Now that's Rika!).
Takato blushed carnation pink.
They continued along the main street of the amusement park. They entered a park with a pond. It was a petting zoo.
A bunny went to Rika's feet. Rika took it up. Then a little girl came rushing to get the it.
"Hey is this your bunny?" Rika asked the little girl.
"Yep!" the little girl answered.
"Here," Rika said, giving the bunny.
"Thanks, Miss." the little girl said.
"Welcome." Rika said with a smile.
"Hope you and your boyfriend get along. He's really cute for you" The little girl said and waved goodbye.
Both of them blushed red pinkish. Rika on the other hand was still thinking. if Takato will be heart broken or not.
"I should tell him to be my fake boyfriend now or else...But how will I tell him?" Rika thought.
Takato was thinking of how will he say 'I love you' to Rika.
"Takato act fast you don't have time...this is a once in a lifetime opportunity," Takato thought, sweat dropping.
"Well Takato, want to sit down?" Rika said inviting him.
"Sure. We've been standing here for a minute."
They both sat down in a bench in the park. It was 6:00 when Takato noticed (Time is fast again, isn't it?). Takato looked around. There were couples together around them. Takato knew this was a great opportunity to tell her. Rika was just looking at the sunset.
"Hey Takato. Doesn't it look beautiful?" Rika said, pointing at the sunset
"Yeah. It reminds me that everything will end up. Just like Guilmon and the others..." Takato said quietly.
"You and Guilmon are really close together, aren't you?" Rika asked.
"Yeah, we had some great time together but now-" He paused.
"Hey Rika do you miss Renamon?" Takato asked
"At first I always thought she was a fighter." Rika exclaimed
Behind a tree was Henry and Jeri watching. They were watching them since Henry told Jeri on what he saw (I thought Henry won't tell anyone what he saw).
"I can't believe it!" Jeri shouted faintly.
"Believe it Jeri," Henry replied.
"They're so sweet together don't they" Jeri added
"Yeah...let's not bother them anyway. We might spoil their fun," Henry said with a laugh while taking Jeri somewhere else.
-----Back at Takato and Rika-----
Takato noticed that they were just sitting there for about 30 minutes.
"Well I guess I have to tell her either way," Takato thought with a gulp
Takato took up all his guts and was ready to say it (moment of truth).
"I have to tell you some thing Rika" Takato started
"What is it?" Rika asked
"Rika, you've been nice to me and ---" Takato paused
"And what Takato?" Rika asked again.
"And I love you" Takato said to Rika directly
Rika's P.O.V.
My mind started to make me say; "I love you too" to Takato, but something else came to me. I just kissed him yesterday and now this. Then I said.
"Takato to tell you the truth. Yesterday, my school said that I'm going to be in a pageant and the only thing to avoid this is. I must have a boyfriend. I started to think on hiring one, that is when I saw. Sorry. if I picked you, 'cause you have all the characteristics of a true boyfriend for me. Your cute, hansom, smart, funny and I do like you a little. But I can't fall-in-love with you, because I'm the "Digimon queen". We could only be friends."
"Well. you should have just told me," Takato said with a confused look
I knew that he was mad at me because I didn't tell the truth. But then he said.
"Sure. Just call me. What are "friends" for anyway?" Takato said with an invisible smile.
The word "friend" caught my attention. The literal meaning of the word "friend" is: an attachment to one another with respect or "affection". I wonder what is my friendship level with Takato? Then he ended up the conversation.
"Well it's getting late, maybe we should go home now." He said to me straightly.
I could see on his face that he really wanted to go home. So I said,
"Sure" I said back steadily.
That was the last thing I said to him that day.
We rode the subway with complete silence. After that we walk all the way at our house. I glanced at my cellphone and it was almost 7:30. I new it was dinner but I didn't felt any hunger. My mind was determined to get away with reality. I just wanted to think it was a lie that I should rise above.
When I looked at Takato, I felt so lonely, seeing him like that. He was just looking down and I can't see even see his eyes. That was the first time I felt so sorry for someone. I knew he was just pretending not to cry but I can hear his inner heart crying. I felt his heart shattered, at the moment I told him the truth. He was so silent, and so am I too.
When we arrived our house, I wave goodbye and so does he. He continued walking getting out of sight, as I watch him. I rang the bell. My mother opened the door. Maybe she felt my feelings because she didn't make fun of me. She just said...
"Well, nice to see you honey. You look very tired. Why don't you go to your room and rest for a while." My mom said plainly.
"Sure Mom." I replied back
I walk straight to my room. I open the door as I entered and immediately closing it. I look out of my window but I didn't saw Takato. I lied on my bed thinking.
"Why did I did that? Did I did that on purpose? Why did I stop my self? Why did I told him the truth? Is the truth better to tell with sadness? Or to lie to him about what I did to make us both happy?"
I kept asking that question over and over again. I felt suddenly cold, for a breeze just came in my room. Then I heard something outside.
It was raining. I felt so weird inside. Something was falling down in my eyes. I touched my eyes and it was ......tears.
Takato's P.O.V.
I was walking down the street when suddenly it rained. I zipped my vest and coated my head. I was running fast because I was getting wet, but the main reason was......I was crying. My tears mixed up with the rain as I run. Continuously looking for the nearest shed, I ended up at a bus stop.
I was still crying. I was gonna call mom and dad so they can fetch me, when two figure was about to come. I quickly wiped my tears when I saw that the two figures were Jeri and Henry. Jeri was under Henry's blue umbrella while Henry was quite blushing. They came rushing to me. Then Henry spoke.
"Hey Takato you look quite depressed" Henry said innocently to me
"Is it because of the rain or something else?" Jeri asked me
"Um. Not really, I just got stranded in this rain" I said like nothing happened.
"Well, your house is on the way to Jeri's house, so why don't you come with us" Henry invited me.
"Yeah, you don't want to catch a cold, do you?" Jeri added.
"Sure, why not" I agreed.
We three walk as it rains cats and dogs. I noticed that Henry was blushing while Jeri was smiling and I really admired the two of them. We were in front of my house when I waved goodbye and they too waved goodbye. As I entered the house my mom touched my forehead and said.
"Takato you're having a slight fever. Drink some medicine before you go to your room and rest" My mom said handling over the medicine syrup.
"Hey son you're getting love sick more often this days" My dad flirted
"Hey! How could I be love sick with someone" I shouted a little.
"I'm right. How could I be love sick if Rika doesn't like me?" I thought while drinking the medicine.
"Now Takato, it's just a joke don't take so hard. But maybe your mad because it's true, isn't it?" My mom flirted more while taking the medicine.
I marched steaming upstairs until I heard my dad say.
"Our son is growing fast and getting love sick." My dad said with a laugh.
It made me more steaming.
As I entered my room I was already in my pajama with a brushed teeth and washed face. I was already lying on my bed and it was still raining. I was still thinking of what just happened. I kept questioning myself why?.
"Was Rika forced to say no? Or Rika did her decision by herself? If so Rika might think I was the most easiest to fool that's why she choose me. What does Rika think of me before? What does she thinks of me now? Will I ever have a chance to change what just happened? Or will be I be heartbroken forever this way?"
I just couldn't think. I stand up and sat on my desk chair. I noticed that my diary was beside me. I wrote ever happy and sad moment that happened this day. When I finish writing it and reviewed and read it. The word that Rika said caught my eye.
"We could only be friends"
I noticed that I was already......crying.
