(RAi's POV)
Well, Hikari-chan invited me to go to the pool, since we're just new friends, I'm quite grateful to have a friend like her who trusted me like that…
I'm eighteen, so I was given the permission to drive a car, since I started school late, I went below the levels and I got ended up in Kotonoha's class.
I parked my car, and I saw Makoto-kun and the others.
"Oi! Takanagi-kun!" Makoto-kun called me out.
I smiled at them and we went to change our outfits.
I wore a simple blue shorts and a gray vest with a hoodie. In order for me not to fully expose myself or just for style. I saw Makoto-kun with shorts as well, but Taisuke wore a different outfit. I don't want to talk about it.
The three of us were waiting for the girls but I excused myself since I forgot my car was unlocked; I went to the parking area and locked my car. I went back to the area where Makoto-kun and Taisuke-kun were waiting, but the girls already there. Sekai waved at me and I smiled to her in return.
I didn't know what they are talking about but, by the sounds of it kinda looks like unnecessary topic to talk about, especially when there are girls around, and I heard Setsuna mumbled "By the looks of it, I only trust Takanagi-kun among the boys"
I smiled at her and everyone went swimming, since I'm not the swimmer type, I sat on the seats and I observed all of them. I saw Makoto-kun and Katsura-san are happy together, Sekai-san seems to be a good swimmer, and Taisuke-kun seems to be in good terms with Hikari-chan.
I stopped observing them when I saw Makoto-kun and Katsura-san hugging each other tightly.
They're so intimate with each other.
I saw Sekai-san seems to be uncomfortable with the two, is she jealous? I twitched my eyes when Setsuna-san snapped me back to reality.
"So you've observed huh?" She asked me
"Ah, yes. Is it about Sekai-san?" I asked her
She nodded and I guess, I was right, but I don't want to jump into conclusions, no not yet.
I stood up and said "Please excuse me Setsuna-san, I have to buy a drink, and do you want me to buy something for you?" I smiled at her
"No, I'm okay." She said
And I continued walking towards the vending machine.
There are many people who were buying drinks in the machine, but as a gentleman myself, I should wait for my turn, I finally got my turn and I bought an orange juice. I went back to them when I saw Kotonoha-san being surrounded my men, and by the looks of it she seems, uncomfortable, and I went to her.
"What's happening?" I asked her.
She hid in my back.
"And who the hell are you?" A muscular man asked me.
"And why should I tell you?" I said
"Oh, a bad one. You're her boyfriend?" another man asked.
"Sir, I don't have any businesses with you along with my friend, so please excuse us." I said. I grabbed Kotonoha and went on. The men didn't follow us anymore, but they gave me some deathly glares, when we were out, I asked Kotonoha.
"Are you okay Katsura-san?" I asked her
"I'm alright, thank you—Ra-chan.." She blushed.
"Uh, please call me Takanagi-kun or Rai-kun… it's kind of awkward for me to be called like that." I rubbed the back of my neck and she gave me a giggle.
"Let's go back, Makoto-kun is waiting for me." She smiled.
I smiled back to her and I made sure that no one is glaring at us anymore.
After we regrouped with everyone else, we sat down and we talked about some things.
Finally, Kotonoha said that she's dating Makoto and I was happy for the both of them.
Taisuke seems to be crying but he stopped it by eating Kotonoha's sandwiches.
"Oi, Takanagi-kun, what a nice body figure you got there." Sekai smirked.
I blushed and said "Ah.. thank-you." I stuttered.
"Yeah! What's your secret?!" Taisuke seems to be jealous,.
"Nothing really" I gave a nervous chuckle.
After the weird conversation, all of them went into swimming and I sat in the seats again.
Makoto sat beside me and said "Hey. You don't know how to swim?"
"I can swim, but I'm not the swimmer type actually." I confessed
"You should enjoy the pool. It can replenish you." He said.
I nodded and I went to the pool. I jumped and water was splashing, my hair were all down (IMAGINE LELOUCH'S HAIR FROM CODE GEASS) I noticed that Setsuna and Hikari are blushing, along with some other girls, but I didn't mind, I shrugged it off and I continued swimming.
After my swim, I quickly changed to my formal attire, a white collar shirt with a long black sleeves and a black pants with a black leather shoes.
I went back and saw Taisuke and Makoto talking to each other, I joined them and we talked about me being so classy.
The girls were back, and we talked for a minute, then Sekai excused Makoto for a second, I twitched my eyes, but I stopped when Setsuna grabbed me and whispered "You're making it obvious." I nodded and she let go of me.
The two of them got back.
While, heading out of the area.
"So Rai, where's your stop?" Taisuke asked me
"I'm driving my car." I said,
"YOU HAVE A CAR?!" Taisuke exclaimed and all of them stopped
"How can you have a car? You're still a minor." Hikari asked me.
"Actually I'm eighteen years old." I gave them a smile.
All of them didn't believe it so I explained why I got late in enrolling and some other things.
"So, how about we ride your car?" Taisuke smirked
"I'm sorry but the capacity of my car is only up to 4 persons." I smiled
Taisuke frowned along with the others, so I walked with them to the bus stop and I bid them goodbye.
I drove my way back to my condominium; I'm living alone since my family is in the U.S…
I was laying on my bed, when my mom called me.
"Yes Ma?" I asked
"where are you right now?"
"home."
"Can you come here?"
"Where exactly are you mother?" I asked her
"I'm- I'll send you the data on your phone okay? See you later."
My mom hung up.
She must be back here. I checked my phone and there was a message, I stood up and changed my clothes. I still wore the Black pants, and black leather shoes, I changed my black collar shirt into a black long sleeved polo and then I went on. I rode on my car, I wanted to take a train so I stopped by at the station….. but I- was startled on my view.
I saw… Sekai and Makoto.. kissing.
It can't be…. I stared at them while inside my car, I was having seconds doubts on what should I do.. Should I stop them? Or should I just let them….. my phone rang and I answered it, it was my mom, she wanted me to go there as fast as I can, so I didn't took the train, instead I rode my way to the address my mom sent me.
I arrived at a huge house, I stiffened myself and shrugged everything off, I saw the small gate opened up and saw a small girl, she looks like Kotonoha.
"Hello, I'm Rai Takanagi, correct me if I'm wrong, but am I in the right place?" I bent down and gave her a pat on the head.
"Yes! And welcome Rai!" She exclaimed
She pushed me inside and I saw my mom talking with another woman.
I stood straight and bowed down. "Good Evening mother, and Miss-"
"Mrs. Katsura young man." The woman smiled at me.
I see, the small girl must be Kotonoha's sister and that must be her mother.
"Pardon me, I'm not really fond… I'm Rai Takanagi, the only son of Reina Hodges-Takanagi." I smiled.
My mom smiled and Mrs. Katsura led us to the dinner table.
All of us sat down.
"Before we eat. Where's Kotonoha?"
"She's in her-"
"I'm here." Kotonoha said and positioned herself.
"Good Evening, Katsura-san." I smiled at her.
"Good Evening Takanagi-kun."
"You know each other?" her sister asked me.
"We're classmates, your name must be?" I asked her.
"Kokoro."
"Kokoro means Heart in Japanese?" I asked her again
She nodded
All of us started our dinner, and obviously, me and my mom were there for business purposes.
I wasn't listening about mom's conversation because, the picture of Sekai and Makoto kissing disgusts me. Especially when he's dating Kotonoha, I have to keep my mouth shout, because I'm hoping that Makoto is old enough to make decisions for his self.
But when the time for us to go home. My mom has to go back to America, so we went into separate ways, I went inside on my car and before I could leave, I smiled at Kotonoha and said "See you tomorrow at school, Katsura-san!"
