Here is chapter 4! I updated because I was bored...again.
Get in? The cab? Are we going somewhere far? "Get in!" he said. Fine, fine. And so, I got in and sat beside him.
…
"Ichijou-san. Where are we going?" I asked again. "To a nearby mall." 'Nearby'? Dude, we have been in this cab for 30 minutes. Wherever that 'nearby mall' was, it wasn't anywhere near.
…
The waiter put my food on the table in front of me. I just simply looked at the steak I had ordered. Would he make me pay for that? "Nakahara-chan, what's wrong? You don't like the food?" he asked with his mouth full of food. Whatever he just said sounded gibberish. "No, the food seems nice, but I just don't feel comfortable at the fact that you're treating me..." I sounded sheepishly stupid. Why am I so embarrassed around him? He's just gonna be my classmate for 3 months until the summer holidays end!
"That's okay. Besides, I've been looking for ways to spend my money without wasting it or donating it." he smiled. His smile was so cute! Argh... You stupid boy-obsessed dumb ass! He's never ever gonna fall in love with you! Besides, he may already have his own girlfriend! Idiot, idiot, idiot! Heeeeyyy... My hand's warm. Don't friggin' tell me that he's holding it. I reluctantly turned my head to look.
Just like I expected, he was holding my hand. "Nakahara-chan, is there anything bothering you?" he asked. Yes, and that's you. No way would I say that! That sounds too rude. It's like I think he's annoying or something. Well, he wasn't annoying. It was how cute he was that was bothering me. "Nakahara-chan...?" He just friggin' put his hand to my cheek. I AM GOING TO DIE OF BLUSHING! "Ichijou-san, what's your hand doing here?" I pointed to his hand.
He slowly took his hand away, as if he were caressing my face. Who am I friggin' kidding? He won't do that...would he? Nope, he definitely wouldn't. "Ichijou-san." I began eating. "Yes?" "Just call me Suzuki. Hearing my surname sounds weird, mostly because I don't actually come from that family." I stated, taking a mouthful. "You were adopted?" He sounded shocked. First time hearing about someone getting adopted? I nodded. "Some boy rescued me from a vampire 12 years ago. And his grandfather dumped in an orphanage near the boy's mansion." "That boy... What did he look like?" Why did Ichijou-san want to know? Was he that boy? Or did Ichijou-san just know him?
"He looked a lot like a younger version of you. Same eyes, same hair, same voice and...same smile." I described whatever I could remember about that boy. Come to think of it, Ichijou-san might be that boy. "Suzuki, that was me..." he said softly. What? I knew it. So my suspicions were right all along!
"Are you angry that I left you at the orphanage to get adopted?" He sounded sad. What, did I do or say something bad? Something I said was upsetting? I shook my head. "No, I'm not mad. Because I heard you argue with your grandfather before you went into the room to see me. You wanted him to keep me, didn't you?" I replied, smiling a little. At least I know who saved me then.
"Yeah... The week that I spent with you was fun. But, do you still have that bracelet I gave you?" he questioned. "And why wouldn't I keep it?" I quizzically raised an eyebrow at the question.
…
"So, is there anything you want me to buy for you?" he asked, looking at me. "Why are you treating me like this? You're wasting money. Besides, it's not like I'm your girlfriend or something, right?" He kept silent for a while and then, he spoke. "But what if I asked you if I you wanted to be my girlfriend?" He showed me a very charming smile. Was he trying to charm me into being his girlfriend? Impossible. He's just teasing me.
"Then, I'd say you're asking the wrong girl. Anyway, I've already kissed dating goodbye quite some time ago. My first boyfriend didn't leave a good impression of boyfriends on me, so I decided not to get boyfriend until I finished my studies." I told him. "He didn't leave a good impression on you, huh? But what if I was the one who left a good impression on you?" Dude, why was he asking me questions like that? He wants to be my boyfriend or something?
"That will only happen if I manage to finish my studies earlier." I smirked. "So, you're the type of girl who plays hard to get? I'm sure you'll be able to finish early. For all you know, I may see you in 5 years' time a millionaire." He smiled.
"You said your ex-boyfriend wasn't nice to you?" I looked down and smiled faintly. "Yeah... He only dated me for the sake of money and those invitations I get from celebs worldwide. It kinda sucks to be me, you know. Almost everything people see in me is money."
"You're not the only one." "Ichijou-san..." I began. "Just call me Takuma. It's not like Kaname will mind." Call him by his first name without any honorifics? Isn't that rude? "Hey..." he began. "I know that what I'm about to say sounds childish and dumb, but...do you want to go to the amusement park or something?"
"Amusement park?" My eyes lit up instantly. Man, I LOVE amusement parks! "Yeah. Anyway, if we miss class, I'd be the one getting scolded and you'll just get a warning." "Then, LET'S GO!" I screamed like a liitle kid, dragging him out of the mall.
Please don't forget to review and favorite! Thanks for reading! ^_^
