Chapter 8: Reacquainting

Part 2

I notice the tall maroon haired boy that is visiting my school abroad from Japan, running up to me as I walk out of the swimming auditorium at such a late time of night. I groan when he makes his way in next to me. He seemed way too cocky for my taste, which is why I wasn't very happy that he was trying to grab my attention.

"Hey, I saw you swimming. You're pretty good." He catches his breath as he began to walk by my side, smirking elusively at me.

Unimpressed by his attempted "flirting" I smirk, teasing him a little. "Thanks, I am the best after all."

He grins at me, revealing his sharp pointed rows of teeth like a shark; in the result of making me gulp nervously. He notices my reaction and begins to laugh.

"Ha ha, don't worry. I don't bite… much." He winks down at me, making my heartbeat faster.

"How deadly." I slyly smile up at him. He still continues grinning at me. I couldn't help but feel a slight attractiveness towards him. He is rather good looking and I am single, so what can be the harm in doing a little more flirting.

"Not really. They're very harmless actually." We both stop when we come across an outdoor pool at another high school, not far from my school.

We both eye the pool then at each other, coming up with the same idea.

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" He asks while he adjusts the straps on his backpack and looks down at me.

I grin slyly as I shout to him. "Race ya!" I take a head start to the pool, leaving him behind as I parkour my way over the fence.

"Hey! That's cheating!" He laughs as he follows after me. He catches up and grabs me by my wrist to pull me away but failed as we both lose our balance and fall into the water.

We both rise up to the surface to catch our breaths, "Nice going shark boy." I tease while splashing water at his face.

"Hey! If you wouldn't have cheated and took off running early, this wouldn't have happened." He chuckles, splashing water back at me.

We go back and forth with the water, then suddenly realized that we kept getting closer and closer to each other. The tension rises when he grabs my hand to stop me. He intensely bores his eyes into mine, making my heart race faster and faster as he motions his face towards mine. My lips start to tremble and without warning he roughly presses his mouth against mine.

His lips were soft behind his rugged kiss. I passionately kiss him back as I close my eyes. I knew this was wrong but I didn't care. I knew I barely met him and I don't normally do this sort of thing but, something just came over me, and I couldn't explain it, maybe it was because I'm still getting over my mothers death. It's only been a month since, so that's probably the reason to my actions.

I open my eyes and pull away from the kiss as my eyes begin to water. "I'm sorry. I can't do this. I don't even know you, and I shouldn't have kissed you. No. This was a mistake. I have to go." I swim to the edge of the pool; placing my arms on the pavement I pick my self out of the water and make my way to grab my belongings.

"Hey, don't go. I'm just as much as fault here. I shouldn't have kissed you first. I'm sorry. I just found you very interesting and I took advantage." The guy apologizes as he follows behind me while I was making my way out of the pool area.

I turn around to come face to face with him again. I wipe the tear away before it travels down my face. "It's all right. There was that "sexual tension" that made it kind of awkward."

He gives a small laugh. "You know I didn't catch your name?"

"Hmm, that's right we don't know each other's names." I scratch the back of my head trying to come up with an idea. "How about this, we don't give our names. Since we aren't going to see each other again after you leave back to Japan, why not just give each other nicknames, but in our own language. You know, since you're Japanese and I'm Hispanic."

The guy gives an appealing smile. "Sounds intriguing. Ok then. The nickname I am going to give you is, Utsukushii."

I nod my head slowly, satisfied with it, but not knowing what it meant. "What does that mean?" I give a small laugh.

"Ha ha, right. It means beauty, or beautiful." He winks at coolly at me.

I smirk, "Well then, I guess I am going to call you. Valiente."

He eyes me confusingly. I snicker and explain. "It means brave or bold. Which in my opinion, describes you pretty well."

He chuckles. "Why thank you. So what are we going to make of this?" he gestures his hand back and forth between us.

I sigh, "Well I wasn't really looking for a relationship at the moment. Besides, we can't make anything out of this. You're gonna leave soon." I tap my chin with my finger, contemplating a solution, and then I thought of something. "Why don't we just live in the moment with this. And when the time comes when you leave, we'll just say our goodbyes. Nothing more. Nothing less."

"Live in the moment? Huh, never thought of it that way. Okay then." He settles his hand under my chin, slowly bringing his face closer as he plants his lips on mine once more. I needed this. I needed something to get my mind off my mom's death. Anything. Anything will do.


My face heats at the memory spilling back into my mind. 'What the hell was I thinking then. That only lasted a couple of weeks and he told me he had to leave early to visit another school. It hurt when he left, now he's here.' I look over at Haruka, observing his body language. He was stiff and his fists were clenching beside him.

'Is he jealous?' I ask myself, as I stare somberly his way, but was cut off by Makoto speaking.

"Well this is a small world then, isn't it." Makoto laughs, breaking the awkward silence.

"Yeah." I mutter under my breath, feeling annoyed with myself that I let my feelings get the best of me then with Rin.

"Why don't we all go do something? I'm free for the rest of the afternoon until practice starts. Anyone interested?" Rin nudges his elbow at my shoulder, seeing as how he over towers me by seven inches.

I furrow my eyebrows indecisively at his request. As I was about to say something, Haruka steps in.

"I can't. I have to head home."

"Again?" Makoto asks, stupefied by Haruka's lack of involvement lately.

Haruka shrugs his shoulder. "Yeah. See you guys."

"Wait!" I call out without hesitation. I jog over to him; he gives me thrown off look while I smile up at him.

"I think I'll head home too. You're going in the same direction as me, so we should walk together." I wave bye to everyone.

"Are you sure Luna? You don't want to tag along?" Gou double checks while I reassure her.

"Yeah I'm sure. Uh, Rin?" I call out to him. His eyes sadden when he peers in my direction.

"I'll catch up with you later, okay?" Giving him some sense of assurance so he wouldn't think that I was completely ignoring him.

Rin looks over at me then to Haruka, sending him a glare. Haruka stands his ground, not making a single move. He sighs, nodding his head. "Sure. See you later."

We wave bye to everyone and continue to walk our way home.


Ok ok, I changed the years and everything because i didn't have a full on idea or plot for this story, but now i have a feel for it and that's why i am re-editing the chapters lol. Well hope you like it so far :)
