Chapter 10
Kahoko watched Osaki approach Kanazawa as she closed the door shut.
"Kanazawa-sensei, everyone, Etou-kun." Osaki greated as he placed himself near Shimizu and Tsukimori.
"Ah, have you told them yet Etou-kun?" Osaki asked with a smile.
Kahoko's brain had gotten completely blank, or so it felt like.
"Told us what?" Kanazawa asked irritated.
Suddenly, he seemed to have become more energetic.
Tsuchiura sighed in unison with Tsukimori.
Tsukimori turned to glare the other way while Tsuchiura refused to do as the person he found the most annoying one out of them all, and instead turned glared directly at him.
Tsk … that Tsukimori. He's acting just as a woman. Ha! Walking, standing and whatever else with his nose high up in the sky. Tsuchiura thought irritated, somewhat enjoying himself.
Kahoko sensed the tense atmosphere.
How could she not?
But despite the tension … she found herself smiling at them.
This trip was a perfect excuse to get together with everyone of them.
Kahoko looked around, not paying attention to what was being told.
She loved being near Fuyumi.
She was so cute!
Even if she was extremely and ridiculously shy it just couldn't be helped.
Fuyumi had still improved much from when they first met.
And Shimizu … he was so knowledgeable although he was younger than Kahoko.
She felt like learning more from being with him than reading a book full of what she need to know.
And even if he did actually behave oddly and was a bit alien, as Tsuchiura had truthfully stated, Shimizu was like an angel and childishly honest.
She glanced sideways up at Hihara standing with widened eyes.
He looked kinda happy.
Hihara, always happy and energetic.
She enjoyed being with him so much she couldn't even express that joy in words.
Kahoko moved her eyes towards Tsuchiura.
Tall and kinda handsome.
Kind to her and to others.
He was admirable in many aspects.
Tsukimori …
Eh well he's kinda arrogant. She thought.
And rude … even when he tries to be nice.
He doesn't really seem to like showing his feelings to anyone.
Kahoko stopped for a brief moment.
She actually made him seem like a total jerk!
Jeez … sorry Tsukimori-kun … Kahoko thought as she sighed.
It was just the way Tsukimori was as a person.
Kahoko flinched as her eyes found Yunoki.
Gaaah! Kahoko thought as Yunoki apparently had discovered her.
He smiled at her and she bend her head downwards too quickly.
Now he definitely knew she had been aware of the fact that she had been staring at him.
She sighed, thinking; He's gonna do something to me later I'm sure of it … damn.
Why is he always like that?
Why can't he just stop pretending to be someone he's not?
He can be kind when he just forgets everything for a short while it seems.
Her eyes shifted to Kaji.
He was starring at Osaki and Kanazawa.
Somehow, despite his foolish devotion towards Kahoko, she actually thought that Kaji, Hihara and Tsuchiura were the most normal guy's present.
Kahoko chuckled softly at the thought of the memories approaching.
For some reasons she was glad Amou had come too.
And brought her camera along as well.
Kahoko would demand having some photos taken so that she would never ever be able to forget.
But … some things she strongly wished for Amou not to catch in photos …
