Here goes Chapter 3! It's not short as chapter 2, so I hope it's still okay. Read and enjoy! ^-^


Ch.3

Yawn. How long is she going to keep me waiting? I sighed and leaned against the doorway. I tried not to get in the way of the students coming in and out. I looked towards Nagisa who was talking with Nowak about an assignment or whatever, and she seemed like she would talk to Nowak for quite a while.

"Hey crackhead!"

I get attacked by arms circling my neck. I easily pulled away because, not to boast, but I am stronger than this doofus.

"What do you want, Sunohara?" I asked, without looking at him.

"I threw you a ball earlier. Why didn't you respond?" he said.

"You don't expect me to throw you another ball while I was paying such close attention to class," I said with a sarcastic tone.

"You? Paying attention? Don't make me laugh!"

I only shrugged. I wasn't sure if he said anything else after that because I kinda drifted off to Lala Land for a while, but I did hear him say:

"Why are you just standing here?"

Almost immediately, I answered, "I'm waiting for someone."

"And who's that someone?" Sunohara asked.

I decided to play around with him, like always.

"Oh? You don't know? I got myself a girlfriend," I said, smirking.

Sunohara looked at me with shocked eyes, just as I expected.

"What?! Another one?! But how?! Wait!"

He grabbed me by the collar and pulls my face way too close to his.

"Tell me who it is! Or better yet, tell me how you got her! Please tell me! Please!"

I chuckled. "I just walked up to her, told her my feelings, and asked her out. She said yes and yeah."

Sunohara pushed me against the doorway pretty hard. "What?! That was it?!"

I nodded. "Pretty much. I can't believe you can't pull off something like that."

I knew Sunohara was going to go mentally insane. That poor boy. He never seemed to receive any girl of his own. I already gave up on love, though, but I shouldn't tell him yet. I wanna keep having my fun with him. He is my best friend after all.

"Oh! Okasaki, I didn't think you would actually wait for me."

I turned my focus over to Nagisa who walked over to me. I smiled to her but that smile faded away once I saw Sunohara eyeing Nagisa and me. I knew he was making Nagisa uncomfortable because he was making me uncomfortable.

Then Sunohara laughed. "You have to be kidding me, Okasaki! Don't tell me Nagisa was the one you were waiting for."

I sighed and held onto Nagisa's shoulder. I pulled her out of the doorway and whispered to her, "Wait for me in the lobby, okay?"

She nodded and walked away. I still heard Sunohara laughing behind my back, so I turned to him and said, "She wasn't the one, you know. She's actually going to take me to my girlfriend and to a bunch of other cute girls. But since you laughed at her, You ain't coming."

I noticed Sunohara's smiling face turned rather depressing. I smirked and walked away, knowing Sunohara was probably crying.

Once I arrived at the lobby, I searched around for Nagisa until I found her talking with a familiar guy. I stood a good distance away from them because I really didn't like the guy. Ichigo.

Right in that moment, I remembered that Ichigo had a huge crush on Nagisa ever since junior year. Psh! Yeah right. He only wants her when she's well and good. I never saw him visit Nagisa when she was in the hospital. That's not really love if you ask me. He's just one of those other people who want to take advantage of Nagisa. I just know it.

Nagisa then turned around and noticed me. I waved to her, and she smiled back. She went back to talking with Ichigo and pointed at me at some point, making Ichigo look at me. Even if her only looked at me for a second, I could feel anger in his eyes. I could careless.

Then Nagisa finished talking and walked over to me. I almost laughed when Ichigo waved at her, but she didn't seem to notice.

Nagisa looked up at me and smiled. "You ready?"

I looked down to her and smiled back. "Sure."

Nagisa lead me towards the exit, and I just had to smirk. I knew Ichigo was looking at me, so I had to take advantage of the situation. I'm running away with your girl, you bloody bastard. Ha!

After a few minuted of searching around for a private place, we ended up under the stairs of the second building of our school. Luckily, there were already chairs and a table there, so we didn't have to sit on the cold floor.

"I think this is a good place," Nagisa said as she pulled herself two chairs, one for herself and another next to her. I pulled a chair for me, knowing well enough that she didn't want sitting next to her. But I wondered what that other chair was for.

We sat in silence for a while. Nagisa was looking down, probably thinking of what to say, and I was just eyeing her and the empty chair next to her. That chair really bothered me for some reason.

The silence was expanding, and it was becoming really awkward. Was I supposed to start or what? But before I said anything, Nagisa jerked her head up to me.

"Okay. Let's get started then. Umm...sorry for the wait," she said.

"No problem. It's not like I have other things to do," I said.

I really didn't people. I wasn't being sarcastic.

"I still don't believe you're still here or even decided to come with me in the first place," she said.

I leaned against the back of my chair. "Of course. I want to know what's up with you, and you did told me you were going to tell me during Flex Time, so here I am."

"It's still very surprising. These days, almost no one wants to hear what I have to say anymore."

Is it just me or does it feel like I just met Nagisa? I've known her for a while but not actually knowing who she is or what her motives are. I'm having this strange feeling of discovering.

"Well, I'm not one of those no bodies. I'm actually interested in what you have to say," I said.

Nagisa looked at me with innocent eyes. "I guess I shouldn't really be surprised when it involves you. You've always seemed to watch out for others even a girl like me."

I wanted to tell her that half of what she said wasn't true at all. I didn't looked out for others. I could careless what others were doing. However, I did wanted to look out for someone like her. She's not just some girl.

"Nagisa," I stopped leaning back and leaned a bit forward. "I need you to tell me the truth. People out there are saying you're either talking to yourself or to someone invisible. Can you tell me what's the reason for it?"

Nagisa hesitated. I even hesitated myself. It was like the both of us were waiting for this moment.

Nagisa sighed. "Okay. I'll tell you."

I continued to look at her. Nagisa was just a normal girl, a very special, normal girl.

She sighed once more. "It's true. I can see someone who is invisible to others. I can.." She paused for a long time before continuing. "I can talk to the dead, Okasaki."

In this situation anyone can either laugh at how stupid the idea was, walk away, or stay behind and listen. For some reason, I was stuck between walking away and staying behind.


Okay, so I know many of you are thinking "why is Ichigo in here?" Well, let me just tell you that this is not a cross over. There are not going to be any Soul Reapers and such. I just needed another character to add to represent someone in my life and since the guy who is represented by Ichigo likes him, I decided to add him. But I promise you there is no Bleach stuff involved with this...yet...hehe. Jk.

Hope you guys liked it. Review and Comment, please. ^-^
