Chapter Two

Luka's P.O.V

"How are you?" Gumi says to me. "I'm fine, I-I guess.." I said while looking down once again.
I can't believe out of ALL the people in the world, Gumi has to be sitting next to me!
"How are.. You?" I said to Gumi. "Oh, I'm great! You know, It's nice running into you here! Sorry I just left suddenly earlier, Miku had me on my toes all day!" She said while grinning to me. "Oh no, It's really okay!" I smiled back at her. "It's pretty nice out, huh? But It's getting dark!" she said to me looking at the sky.
I looked up at the sky too. "Yeah, It sure is!" "Say, Luka. How about you give me your number?" She looked at me. "M-my n-number?" I said getting nervous again. So nervous that my palms started to sweat. "Well I-I guess so.." "alright!" She smiled and pulled out a paper and pen for me. Quickly wiping my sweating hands, ew, I wrote down my number and gave it to her, then we parted ways. "See you Luka! I'll call you tonight! Anytime work?" "Yeah! See you.. Gumi.." I said waving shyly. She.. She's going to call me tonight. I smiled a little and blushed. Talking to Gumi on the phone? I liked that idea very much.

Later at Lukas house.

I finally got home and sat on my bed. I wonder when Gumi is going to call me. I blushed at the thought.
I turned on my T.V and flipped through the channels. Nothing good is on, or more perhaps that's because nothing good is ever on! Finally I landed on a history channel.
They were talking about Egyptian life, like how the daily life in ancient Egypt revolved around the Nile and the fertile land along its banks. The yearly flooding of the Nile enriched the soil and brought good harvests and wealth to the land. Also, the people of ancient Egypt built mud brick homes in villages and in the country. They grew some of their own food and traded in the villages for the food and goods they could not produce.
It was interesting to learn that most ancient Egyptians worked as field hands, farmers, craftsmen. A small group of people were nobles. Together, these different groups of people made up the population of ancient Egypt. Wow, how lame do I seem?
Ring ring ring... M-my phone is ringing.. I looked at the caller I.D slowly .. It says "Gumi Megpoid calling" I hesitantly answered..
"H-hello?" I say lightly. "Hey Luka! I told you I would call!" A little giggle followed after. "Y-yeah!" I laughed a nervous laugh. I hope she couldn't read through it.

"So what're you up to now? I didn't interrupt anything did I?" She said kinda worried, so worried that is was so cute. "No, you didn't!" I laughed a little "and I was just watching the television. How about you?" I asked. "Oh, thank goodness! and I just got done eating carrots!" She replied relieved and happily.
"Oh, Carrots? I kinda like those!" I replied. "I love carrots!" She said quickly. "Oh, really?" I smiled to myself. I just learned something about Gumi! "Anyway, sorry about that, my carrot senses kicked in, lame right?" she giggled. "No, not at all!" I laughed. "Hehe, good, cause since we're friends, you'll have to put up with it!" she said excitedly. Friends? Me and Gumi friends? I blushed again.

"So, Luka, are you doing anything tomorrow? Are you busy?" she asked carefully. "Well, tomorrow?.." I paused for a bit to think. For a minute it was silent, she was waiting for a reply. Well, I guess I should say I'm busy, so I don't seem lame, or friendless.. "No, I'm not busy tomorrow!'' I blurted out. CRAP! Why did I just? I silently face-palmed myself. "Great! You wanna come over and watch a movie then?"She asked happily. "H-hang out tomorrow? S-sure. I would really enjoy that.." I replied nervously and kinda choked up.
"Great! Yay!" I could hear her smiling through the phone. I wish I could see her smiling now.. I blushed again, thinking about seeing her cute smiling face.

"So I'll text you my address and you can come over between 10am to 11am. You choose!" she giggled. "Alright, and I'll just come at 11 so you can sleep in.'' I replied carefully again. "Awh, okay! Thanks Luka! Hehe, I'll see you tomorrow!" She replied. "Kay'! Bye.. Gumi." I said shyly. "Bye Luka!" She giggled again and hung up.
I.. I just talked to Gumi.. On the phone.. I can't believe I didn't die.. I blurted out laughing. Oh man, I'm funny. Beep! I grabbed my phone and looked at the text. It was from Gumi, it's her address. I blushed really hard and imagined being at her house.. While I'm at it, I'll save her number. I can't believe I'm going to her house tomorrow! I grabbed my alarm clock and set it to 9am. I guess I should go to sleep now, since it is 11pm.
After changing into a loose shirt, and my underwear, I slipped under the sheets and closed my eyes. I 'fantasized' about being next to Gumi watching a movie, giggling with her when talking. and soon, I drifted off to sleep, dreaming about Gumi.

RING, RING, RING, RING, RING, RING! I slammed on my alarm clock, and sat up. I stretched and got out of bed. First, I should go shower, I need to be good and fresh! All girls are supposed to smell nice all the time anyway, right? It's not like I haven't showered in a week though. I giggled to myself. I walked down the hall and into the bathroom. I looked in the mirror first, then brushed my teeth really good. I slipped off all the clothes in a pile and stepped in the shower.
After my shower finished I brushed my hair and wrapped the towel around me. Picking up my worn clothes I walked back into my room and threw the clothes onto my bed, I'll pick them up later.

I went to my drawers and grabbed out clean underwear, and a new bra. I went to my closet and grabbed a nice black shirt, and some blue shorts. I'll just wear simple black flip-flops with this. I'm only going to her house to see a movie, so It won't matter. I looked over at the clock and it read 9:40am. Alright! I'm doing okay! I slipped into my clothes carefully and looked into my full body mirror. I walked back down the hall into my bathroom and brushed my hair all out and smooth, and tangle free. I smiled at myself. I'll put on a bit of makeup, nothing much.
I don't usually put on makeup so this should be.. Interesting. I quickly slipped on deodorant and looked once more in the mirror. Okay! I look fine! I smiled again. I walked down the hall, then down the stairs to my kitchen. I need to eat a big breakfast, I smirked a little. I like food, who doesn't? I went to the refrigerator and grazed through, and spotted some leftover eggs and pancakes. I guess they'll do.

After eating I left a note on the table for my mom it read "Hello mom, I'm going to my friend Gumi's house, I'll be back later. Love you, Luka." That should do!
I grabbed out my cellphone and looked at her text from last night. Her house isn't that far from here, so it's a good thing I don't have to walk too far! I started walking down a few blocks, and come across a medium-sized house that read her address.. I suddenly got nervous again, and started to blush lightly. I'm in front of Gumi Megpoids house. The girl I'm deeply, and madly in love with.

I shook my head and ran up to the front door, I read the time on my cellphone 11:05am. Okay, I'm not too early. I knocked lightly on the door. "Who is it?" I heard Gumi yell from the inside. "U-uh.. It's L-Luka." I said shyly. The front door quickly opened and I was suddenly pulled in and hugged. I started blushing so red, and my eyes were wide-opened. She... She's hugging me. As she let go she giggled. "It's great to see you Luka!" She grinned. "Y-You too!" I said happily, but mostly nervously.

She was wearing a loose green shirt, and black shorts. Her hair was just brushed down, but very shiny. "Did you get here okay?" She looked at me. "Yeah! I did." I said looking back at her, still blushing. "Okay! So, Let's go watch the movie!" She said excited and grabbed my hand and pulled me into a room. The wall was painted green, and there was orange furniture everywhere. On the bed there was green bed spread. I'm guessing this is her room? She must really like green and orange! I giggled on the inside. "This is my room! We'll watch the movie in here, Kay'?" She smiled and grabbed some movies. "So, what movie do ya' wanna see?" She handed the movies to me. I scanned through them "P.s. I like scary movies" she whispered to me and we laughed a little. "How about this one?" I pointed to a scary looking movie.

"Okay!" She smirked and put the movie in.
She then sat on her bed and patted next to her, hinting I can sit down. I carefully sat 6 inches away from her. Yes, I counted. I glanced over at Gumi, she was really concentrating on the movie. She is so cute! AHH! I blushed a little and looked back at the screen. I really can't believe all of this, sitting by Gumi, on her bed, in her room, in her house. WATCHING A MOVIE! I really must be dreaming, but I really like this. I smiled a little. I must have been too into my thoughts because I just realized it was the middle of the movie. As a scary part came up my eyes opened wide. Oh, my, gosh. Guess who's having nightmares tonight? ME! As the movie was almost finished Gumi seemed a little too focused. Wow, this girl, is so weird. That's what's making her so much cuter! GAHH! And finally the movie ended.
"So, how did you like the movie?" She looked over at me almost dazed. I blinked a few times. "It was good." I blinked a few more times. She waved her hand in front of my face. "Are you okay? Did it scare you too much?" She frowned. "No,no!" I flailed my arms around. "I like it!" I almost yelled. "I'm glad then!'' she held her stomach and laughed hard. "I'm sorry Luka, but that was funny!" She grinned at me. I blushed again and giggled. "yeah, I guess. Hehe." I smiled. "Are you hungry or anything?" Gumi looked at me, almost studying my face. "Hmm, Not really." I replied. "Okay! Do you like walking?" She asked. "Walking? Yes, I love walking." I replied happily. "Alright! It's decided! We are going to go on a walk!" She grinned and grabbed my hand and dragged me outside. I started to blush really hard. She's touching me again! As we made it (safely) to the side-walk she let go.

"Okay! Let's walk to the park , Kay'?" She looked at me and smiled again. "Sure!" I nodded and smiled to her. She started to walk, so I followed beside her. "So what have you done all this summer?" She was looking up at the sky but being careful. "Well, nothing really. Just really read a lot, and I always talk to Teto and Haku. They are really good friends of mine. " I said looking at the ground. "My life is pretty boring." I replied and laughed a bit. " Oh really? That actually sounds fun, I didn't do anything! but, I did talk to Miku a lot. She.. " She paused for a second and stopped walking, then looked down. I stopped walking and looked at her.. Is she okay? "Sorry.." she looked at me and smiled, but somehow, I knew she was faking it.

"It's okay!" I said, and we started walking again. "Any who, I love reading too though! Plus it's good for your brain!'' she grinned. "Yeah it is! I guess that's why I'm such a smart nerd." I giggled. I wonder what she was going to say about Miku? I don't think I should ask though.. She stopped talking about it for a reason. I wasn't paying attention where I was walking. 'boom' I saw a flash of yellow, then I looked down. A saw a girl with yellow hair rub her head. "I.. I am so sorry!" I blurted out. Why do I always run into people? GAHH! A boy with yellow hair beside her helped her up. "It's okay! She smiled at me and blushed a little. She's so cute! "Oh hey Rin, Len!" Gumi waved at them. "Hey Gumi!" They both said. Gumi pointed at me. "Luka, Rin, Len. Len, Rin, Luka." she said. We all blinked at her. I waved to them. "Hi! It's nice to meet you!" They smiled. "You too!" Rin replied. "Any who, we'll be off now! We have to be somewhere soon. See you around Gumi, Luka!" Len said. And they went off.

"They seem nice." I said hesitantly. "Yeah they are! Rin's a bit shy, and Len.. well he's just Len. They're brother and sister too." Gumi giggled. We started walking again. "We're almost there, Kay'?" Gumi said. "Alright!" I said. I was still wondering what she was going to say about Miku. She seemed sad when she mentioned her.. Oh well. I looked up and could see the park not too far. "Wanna race?" Gumi said! "well.." I was cut off by Gumi. "Kay'! Ready set go!" She yelled and bolted off. I can't believe this!
I found myself running, and I was pretty slow. Gumi was giggling while she ran, It was so cute. She was cute. She ran to a bench and sat down. "I WIN!" She yelled happily to me. "YAY!" I replied happily back. I blushed. She looked so cute when she was smiling, and really happy. I sat next to her and huffed. "running kills me!" I said laughing a little. She giggled again. "Need a smoothie to refresh you?" She pointed to a smoothie stand. "Sure!" I smiled. A strawberry smoothie sounded good right about now. "Kay'!" She said and stood up. "Let's go!" She grinned. I stood up and we walked over to the stand.
"What could I get for you ladies?" A young, slim man asked.

She looked over at me.. "I'll take a strawberry smoothie." I said shyly. "Make that two!" She added in. "Alright! Two strawberry smoothies are coming up!" he smiled warmly and made the smoothie. After he handed us the smoothies we walked back to the bench. As we slurped on our smoothies Gumi looked up to me "Is it good?" "Yeah It is! Yours?" I looked back. "Yup!" I was almost finished with my smoothie. She still had half left. I didn't think she'd like strawberry smoothies! cool! I grinned in my head.

"Hey, Luka.." Gumi asked almost hesitantly. "Y-yeah?" I looked at her.. She looked at me straight in the eyes.. "Luka.. I have a question.. " She suddenly looked serious.
"Yes.. Gumi?" I was getting scared, I hope she couldn't see my fear. "Luka, Why me? I mean... Why do you always watch me?"
