(continuation from chapter 2)
But I was still happy for them so I smiled and waved at them. Amaya was having a good time and that was all that seemed to matter. Tono and Hunni-senpai took their turns dancing with her. Even Mori-senpai danced with her which made everyone laugh at the heigth difference. She was so awkward dancing with him. It was cute in its own way. Then Kyoya went up to her and outstretched his hand to her.
"..." She smiled and took it and they began the most graceful dance. I began to get angry.
I stood by and watched them. She seemed to be having a good time.
When Amaya finished her dance with Kyoya she looked at me and waved me over. I blinked and Kaoru pushed me.
"She wants to dance with you now stupid!" He laughed and I stumbled to Amaya.
"...Ahem...may I have this dance with a lovely princess?" I said mimicing Tono as much as possible. She giggled and took my hand.
"Yes sire!" It was then her father came in and took her away.
"Dance with daddy!" he said and danced with her. I sighed and walked back to Kaoru.
"That was so embarrassing!" I say to him.
He chuckled. "But she seemed happy. You do know that today is her 16th birthday don't you? That is why her dad agreed to this. It is also why I left school alone yesterday."
"AH!" I look at him. That means everyone must've gotten her something but me. "What am I going to do Kaoru! I'll look like a fool not giving her a gift!"
"Just say you are going to the restroom and run out and get something. I'll make her she is busy so she doesn't realize you are gone."
"Thank you Kaoru." I say and ran off.
I snuck out of the door and ran towards town. From what I understand of her, she loves girly things and sporty things. Is it possible to find something like that? I wish Kaoru were here to help me!
"HOW THE HECK AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT SHE WOULD LIKE! I SUCK AT THIS!" I groaned and went into a store.
"Can I help you sir?" The clerk asked me.
"Yeah...Its my friend's 16th birthday and I wanna find something she'd like."
"What does she like?" He asked.
"Well. She enjoys sports...but she is also on the girly side." I told him.
"In that case it might help if I can see a photo of her."
"Hang on...I think I have one on my phone...ah here." I showed him a photo of her and he nodded. (for pic look at my avatar photo)
"I know just the thing." He goes into the back and brings back a box. I look inside.
"Thats perfect!" I smiled and paid for it before running back. I slipped it into my pocket. I know she'll love this!
When I arrived she was surrounded by everyone openeing gifts. She had gotten a book from Haruhi and a bouquet from Tono. She took a box from Kyoya. "Oh your back!" she smiles. "Did ya get lost?"
"Yeah sorry." I walk up to Kaoru's side. She began to open the gift from Kyoya and gasped, pulling out a lovely saphire necklace.
"Oh its beautiful Kyoya-kun!" she exclaimed as he placed it around her neck. "Thank you!" she smiles and he nodds.
"Me next!" Kaoru handed her a box. She took it and opened it. She beamed at the CD she had been talking about getting.
"Thank you Kaoru!" She hugged him. I held back my gift.
"No problem. It was from both me and Hikaru." Kaoru winked at me.
"Thank you too Hikaru!" She giggled and hugged me. I patted her head.
"A...anytime." I murmured.
The night goes on and everyone but me and Kaoru leave. Kaoru looked at me and went to the bathroom.
"...Amaya?" I took a deep breath and looked at her. "Kaoru lied...I wasn't with him when he got that CD...I got you something else." I pulled the box out and handed it to her. She took it from me and opened it. Her eyes went wide and wet. She pulled out the butterfly hairclip I had just recently gotten.
"...Hikaru...thank you...so much. I love it..." She smiled up at me...a tear falling. "Its like...you knew my heart's secret. I love butterflies!"
"..." I smiled and took the clip from her...and put it in her hair. "Happy Birthday Amaya." I murmured.
