Ok, this chapter's done. This was written twice. Only because I accidentally deleted it the first time. I personally think the first version was better, but it's gone forever! Haha. Either way you're stuck with this. Hope you enjoy. Please read and review.
Kagura jumped up, wide-eyed, mouth agape. She shook her head in disbelief stared at Kaiya. "What was… I… What the hell!" Suddenly, in a way, things started making sense. Is this why I can't return that boy's feelings? Is this why I've never even been interested in guys? But… I can't be… I can't like girls, there aren't even any girls I'm interested in.
"Are you ok?" Kagura snapped out of her thoughts, remembering Kaiya was in the room. I can't tell Kaiya, she won't understand. She'll think I'm a freak. I mean, even I'm beginning to think I'm a freak.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine," Kagura said. She slowly sat back down, put her hand on her head and leaned back against the bed. A yawn escaped her. "I'm tired. I'm gonna go home."
Kaiya began to panic, she didn't want Kagura to leave yet. Her courage had been quietly building up the whole time. She was afraid that if Kagura left, all her courage would leave and never come back. Kaiya was so wrapped up in her panic that she didn't notice Kagura making her way for the door. The door creaked open and Kaiya finally saw Kagura leaving. She sprang up and ran toward the door, slamming it shut when she reached it.
Kagura raised her eyebrow and stepped back. "What?"
"Stay, Kagura-san," Kaiya said quietly. "We'll… talk."
"I don't feel like talking…"
"What it is that's bothering you, you can tell me." Kaiya kept her head down. "Please trust me."
Kagura was taken aback by Kaiya's tone. She sounded like she was begging Kagura to stay. Kagura sighed. "Ok." She walked back to her spot next to the bed. When Kaiya sat next to her, Kagura began apologizing. "Sorry for the way I reacted. I know you said it's fine and everything. I was just freaked out."
"Why?"
"Well, I'm sure it's not that hard to figure out…" Kagura clasped her hands together and began to twiddle her fingers. "That kiss exercise… I imagined kissing… a girl…"
Kaiya felt like she was about to explode. Oh my God! No way! It's like a fantasy come true! I might have a chance with Kagura-san after all.
"Uh… Kaiya? Kaiya. Hello?" Kagura began wondering what she was thinking. Damn… She's ignoring me, she thinks I'm weird. I don't blame her.
"Huh? Oh, sorry. Well… This is interesting…" Kaiya let out a nervous laugh. She could tell Kagura was feeling uneasy. "Um, it's ok. I don't… think any differently of you or anything…" Well, I do in a way. But in a good way.
Kagura smiled. "Thanks. I'm not sure if I like girls or not. There aren't even any I'm interested in."
Ouch. Ok, maybe I don't have that big of a chance with Kagura-san… "Well, maybe we should… Get you a date!"
Kagura burst out laughing. "No, no, no, no. I can't-"
Kaiya fidgeted. "Kagura-san, you're so popular at our school, you'll have no problem getting a date. You're good looking, athletic, nice, and you have your smart moments. You're the perfect date candidate. I mean, I would probably date you…" Kaiya gasped and covered her mouth. Oh crap!
Kagura gave a big grin that made Kaiya's heart melt. "Sure you would, you're just trying to make me feel better.
You're so oblivious, Kagura-san… Kagura looked at Kaiya, who seemed to be staring at her in disbelief. "What?"
"Nothing… So, it's getting late. You probably want to go practice swimming," Kaiya said, looking at the floor.
"Oh yeah," Kagura looked at her watch. "Yeah, I should go before the pool closes." Kagura chuckled. "We didn't get much studying done. Let's stay focused next time! Bye." Kagura left a dumbfounded Kaiya.
"I practically told her I liked her and she didn't catch on… It's hopeless!"
Ok, you've read, please review! :)
