Chapter 8: Childhood Friends
Why is he here?
What is he doing here?
When did he get here?
How did he get here?
I rubbed my temples as I tried to consume everything. My arms are now full of scratches and small bruises are starting to form from all the pinching I've been doing.
Boy for sure this is one hard nightmare to wake up in.
Obviously I have a lot of questions, thoughts, emotions, and my thumping heart just won't set back to its normal pace. I shook my head in frustration and sighed. My head shot up as my seatmate poke me.
"Geez... What's wrong with you Aoko-chan? You've been spacing out."
Sonoko eyed me suspiciously. The only thing I could do was groan and slump my head back on my desk. I shook my head and whined like a kid.
I felt another tap on my shoulder, but due to depression I ignored the call. Actually that tapping has been going on since the start of class, but obviousy I just kept on ignoring it. The tapping continued on and on until it finally hit on my nerve, I turned around and in that moment I wish the ground would swallow me.
All I could see is indigo eyes, michiveous glint shining before mine. I pursed my mouth tightly amd turned away.
I need to get out of here. Now!
"Aoko-chan! Hayaku!" I turned to the sound of Sonoko's impatient voice and quickly stood up. I rushed to where they were standing when a voice suddenly bursted in the room.
"Looks like someone is being snobbish!"
Of course being the new guy and all he gathered the attention of everyone. He was quickly surrounded by his fangirls and started clinging to him. He clutched his chest and faked as if he was in pain. He looked directly into my eyes "Oii Aoko! You wounded me."
And with that said everyone went silent, his fangirls let go of him and started to glare at me. I sweatdropped at their reactions and looked at Kaito. He smiled his boyish grin and his movements seem to be challenging someone.
This boy just loves to start trouble.
But you love that troublemaker.
No, I-I-I don't.
Yeah right. Tell me that when pigs start to fly.
Oh great. Now even my conscience is battling with me. Suddenly someone grabbed me and started shaking me.
"A-o-ko-chaaaaaan! How come you didn't tell us your friends with Kuroba-kun?!"
"I... I..."
What do I say? I stared at Sonoko-chan and Ran-chan blankly. I tried to say something hut nothing came out.
I woke up and stretched my limbs when I felt a whack in the head. I glared at the culprit, who had her hands on both hips.
"You slept in class again baka!"
"It was boring and I know the lesson anyway." I looked at her with halfmoon eyes and rubbed my head. One more hit in the head for sure I'm already going to get amnesia.
"Che. How arrogant. Anyway hurry up, you promised to eat lunch with us."
Oh right. I nodded my head in reply and watched her walk away. I lazily stood up and walked to where they were.
"Looks like someone is being snobbish."
I turned to the voice and the new guy was acting like a loose horse. Somehow he gaves me the aura of something similar. That trickster nature.
"Oii Aoko. You wounded me!"
At the mention of her name I quickly stared at the messy haired girl.
They know each other?
What was your first clue you ahou! The first name basis or the immediate closeness?
I shook my head and stared at him, he gave me again one of his mocking grins which I gladly return with a glare.
So you want a challenge huh?
I walked away from the scene and stopped at the door. I looked back once again and smirk at him.
I'll give you one.
I'm sitting here on the table fiddling with my chopsticks. I gulp as I felt the hard, cold, and curious stares of everyone around me. Including the three people in front of me.
Well at least Kudou-kun was keeping it inside him, but it was quite obvious he wants to know something to. The one that is really bothering is Sonoko-chan's stare.
She's been giving me that look right from the start. I sighed and put my chopsticks down. As much as I want to tell, I just don't know where to start.
"They're childhood friends; that's why." My head quickly turned to Kudou-kun as he calmly ate his lunch.
Now Sonoko once again grabbed my shoulders and started shaking me. "Is that true? How could you possibly not tell us this information?!"
I scratched my cheek trying to hide the blush on my face. I looked back to Ran hoping she would help me out but it seems her mind is somewhere else. She was just staring back at me with a curious face. I sighed and looked at Kudou-kun's rather bored face.
He met my gaze and sighed. "Oi. Sonoko, stop bothering Nakamori-san already."
Sonoko finally let go of her grip and glared at him, "I'm not bothering her, I'm just trying to know the truth, and you're a detective aren't you?"
He rolled his eyes at her response, "Bakaro, you don't force it out."
"Oi. You two stop it." Ran finally came in between, that reminds me these three are childhood friends. And like the current situation Kudou-kun and Sonoko-chan don't get along well, and then Ran-chan is there referee. Sonoko-chan was about to retort back when she suddenly went silent and gape at me. The same goes with Ran-chan. "Na-nani... Kore?"
"Can I join you guys?" My eyes widen in shock as I heard a familliar voice, I slowly turned around and saw Kaito standing holding a bento in hand.
Sonoko then stood up and exclaimed like the other girls in the room, "Of course you can Kuroba-kun!" As I stared at her, I could really see the glowing pink aura around her with matching eye hearts.
Seriously, what do they see in this idiotic and pervert Kaito?! It seems that everyone finds him attractive, even the beautiful Akako-chan for goodness sake!
"Well then, I would like to seat beside my Aoko." I blushed as he stressed on the word "my". Since the three of them were sitting on the same bench I am left alone here and clearly have space for Kaito to occupy.
My heart started to go on a random and uncontrollable beat; my palms started sweat; my knees won't stop shaking. This truly is going to be a long day.
I stared at Aoko-chan blankly. She and Kuroba-san... Are childhood friends.
"Ne, ne, Ne. Kuroba-kun are you two really childhood friends?" Sonoko suddenly popped the question.
"That's what I thought we were until she transferred here. And it seems that something or rather someone had caused it." His face turned serious then looked at Shinichi.
His stare doesn't seem to the affect him as he continued to eat his lunch. "Maybe it's the food."
Kuroba-san's eyes lighten up like a kid, "Honto desuka?" He picked up Aoko-chan's food and started to dig up in it. Her eyes widen in shock and started yelling at Kuroba-san.
"I saved that for the last!"
"I know." I giggled as Aoko-chan's cheeks turned pink, these two look adorable. I just wish they could see it.
I turned to Sonoko but it seems that she's still processing what was happening.
"Oi. Just consider it as a welcome gift."
"No way!"
As Aoko-chan and Kuroba-san continued to bicker, my eyes darted to the boy beside me.
How about us? Will that ever happen?
I felt my cheeks get warm at the thought and was surprised when he suddenly stood up.
"Eh? Doko ni iku no?" Sonoko looked at the detective confused.
"Getting some fresh air." He replied nonchalantly. What's with him? Now I only noticed, ever since the start of lunch break he had been quiet.
All of our heads turned to another sound of someone standing up; it was now Kuroba-san. Somehow unlike his usual grin, he wore a confident smirk on his face. "Sodesu ka? Mind if I join you? I would really like to tour your school, if I'm not much of a bother tantei-san?"
The atmosphere once again changed, it was just like when Kuroba-san explained his relationship with Aoko-chan. I stared at Shinichi and waited for his answer.
"Sure." He turned around and started walking away. What's with the glare and challenging looks?
"Mattaku... What's with the heavy atmosphere?" Sonoko exasperatedly asked as she slumped on the table.
I turned to Aoko-chan; she smiled sadly at me and started to fix her things. I coukd clearly see that she is thinking the same thing.
Why does it feel like something's going to happen?
I walked out with the magician following in trail.
"Ne, tantei-san..."
I looked back blankly at him. "Nani?"
He took steps towards me and stopped when he was right beside me. He wore this annoying arrogant look in his face, just like the first time he entered the room.
"About Aoko or should I say Nakamori-san..."
I looked at him confused, what about her? He smirked at me and put a hand on my shoulder. "She's mine."
He let go of my shoulder and smiled his usual happy face. "So how about the tour? Where should we start?" I was about to say something when the three girls came.
"What are you guys doing here?"
"Well Sonoko here insisted that we should all go out this Saturday." I quirked an eyebrow at the said girl. She ignored me and turned to Kuroba, "So how about it Kuroba-kun?"
He smiled and snapped his fingers before her, "Anything to make the lady happy." Sonoko blushed as she accepted the rose, I rolled my eyes when someone nugged me. Due to the intensity of the pain there could only be one culprit.
"Baka. Don't be like that." I just looked at her with a bored face and ignored the whole commotion with Sonoko. My eyes drifted to the girl beside his best friend, and frowned. She had a sad look on her face as she waited for the two to stop.
She's yours huh? We'll see about that.
Gomenasai! The chapter I posted first was actually wrong, this is the real thing!
So how was it? Was it boring? :( Reviews and comments are welcomed and loved! ❤
