::::::::::: Rio:::
There I sent it. Every last bit of information. From the suspicious letter to the asking if I wanted to disappear to the kidnapping and finally... When I met him.
I was waiting. No response yet. Could she have gotten mad at me? It's fine if she wouldn't want to talk to me ever again.
I close my phone, defeated.
I always loose friends...
Then the phone ringed.
I jumped. Startled, I reached for it.
'Oh rio... I never knew... I'm sorry for bringing it all back to you! And to think I was gonna ask you if... Naw forget it.'
How could she have just wrote that and...
She must really want me to hear her out.
'What is it Kanra? You know you can talk to me.'
Send. Now I wait. Why do I want to know so badly? It's not like I knew Kanra. We just became friends yesterday.
Finally, the message.
'It's just... I really want to know why life is so hard. I want to be someone's friend. I want someone to help me out.'
I feel like I really want to help her. Then again... I've been fooled before. This person behind the screen is so much like Nakura. Only she's a girl and... Nakura was... Nakura was somewhere special in my heart.
'Listen, Kanra... I'm willing to make a deal... We can meet but...
It has to be somewhere where there's a lot of people. I have no intentions on killing myself. I want to talk to you. To understand you.'
::::::::: IZAYA orihara.:::
Izaya laughed hysterically.
This was very interesting to him.
To think she might have learned her lesson by now. It was a good idea to mess with her on a boring hot day like this one.
"Hmmm what should I write? 'Yes I'd love to?' No... That's like digging my own grave. I don't exactly look like a girl." He looked at the screen.
'To understand you'
I guess it's worth it.
::::::::::rio.::::
She hasn't text back... Maybe she's shy?
Ring.
Ok... Here it is.
'I'd love to meet you.'
I breathed in. I had to calm myself down.
Ok...
'Where should we meet?'
Waiting... Waiting...
Ring.
'I know this one sushi place'
Sushi place? Like the one masaomi was talking about?
'Could it be Russia's sushi place?'
Send.
A message arrived.
'Yes! You've been there?'
Hmm...
'Nope. But I really wanted to try it'
Send.
'Ok so it's settled. Ill be there when school is bye~!'
Rio what have you gotten into...
This is a person you barely know!
This time it was easier... Nakura probably took maybe 3 years to convince me? That's only because I gave him the words he wanted to hear.
'I think it would be best if I just disappeared.'
Right into his trap...
My headache got worse since I was still sick. I laid on the bed once more.
What will happen tomorrow?
I sneeze.
I really need to sleep. Ill think of what to wear and what to do tomorrow.
I find it funny that she didn't at least asked me once where I lived. Or the fact like that she acts like she's done this before.
I wonder...
The next day came and I dressed up in my uniform. I said bye to my parents and left to go to school. Like any other normal day.
I enter the classroom. Masaomi saw me and walked up to me.
My stomach fluttered when I saw him. I tried to hide it.
"Good morning~!"
I bowed.
"Good morning."
"Boy... You look like you didn't sleep last night."
He pointed at my face. It must be the fact that I was sick.
"Oh um... I had a fever yesterday. As you can see it hasn't left yet."
He smiled at me.
"So about yesterday..."
Oh yeah... He was gonna ask me something. He was probably thinking about that all night.
"Just forget it ok?"
Masaomi... I guess he can say 'rio is beautiful' but when it comes to being serious... Was there something holding him back?
"Ok." I said. I stared at my shoes. I guess he needs time?
Class was starting and we all took our seats.
As for me... I stared out the window and thought about:
Kanra, sushi, Nakura, emails, and today when I leave school.
When school ended I raced home.
Masaomi, anri, and mikado offered to walk home again but I said there was something I had to do. And fast.
They didn't mind once I told them that ill walk with them tomorrow.
I was running, panting, and exhausted.
When I got home my parents weren't there. Prefect.
I went up to my room. I looked through my wardrobe. Kanra won't mind if I wear shorts and a pink shirt. I put my hair in two pigtails, as always.
I pick up my phone and run out if the house.
'I'm ready'
I send that.
A message appeared.
'Im already here.'
This is it. I'm going to meet her. I'm going to know what's so wrong about her life. I'm going to see how she looks.
About an hour or two later I stand in front of a sushi shop. It's not pact but there were some people in there. I couldn't see her. I guess I really need to go in.
I push the door open and make my way inside.
