CHAPTER 10
Fourth Grade, Age 10
Tayuya POV
"What are you doing?"
I turned around to see Pineapple Head. I lower my arms down to place the flute in my hands on top of my lap. Pineapple Head came around the pole and sat on the swing next to me.
"Playing my flute in the park. Duh! You said I can't play it at home. You won the bet, right?" I growled. He chuckled. He dug in his backpack to pull out a juice box. He handed it to me.
"Umm...arigato?" I took the juice box. Why all of a sudden is he being nice to me. He took another one out for himself. In unison, we plugged the straw in the hole and slurp the juice. Pineapple?
I burst out laughing. I bet he's looking at me strangely. I'm literally laughing like a maniac. Would can blame me. Pineapple Head is really funny.
"Shut up! Anyone could see up!" My laughing weakened. I wiped the tears off the corner of my eyes. A couple of street lights flickered to turn on. The sky is darkening and the sun is putting itself to rest. I really want to stay out here some more. I glanced at Pineapple Head. He was staring at my flute.
"Want to hear me play?"
"No!" He shook his head and hands. I chuckled. I placed the instrument near my lips and blew into it. My eyes shut closed as I played. While playing, my heart beat against my eardrums. I didn't understand. Maybe I was nervous that Pineapple Head was sitting next to me hearing me play. I shorten the music and stopped playing. I looked at him to see his face.
Priceless.
"Why don't you play as good as this at home?" He asked.
I shrugged my shoulders.
"Let's go home." I packed my flute in it's case. Pineapple Head stood up and we walked home together. I enjoyed every bit of it. Walking with him when the only sound were crickets.
.

On the way walking home from school, the sky started crying once again. I didn't know it was going to rain. I didn't know Pineapple Head was ahead of me. I didn't even know Temari joined walking with him. I wish I was before them. I wish I haven't see the look on Pineapple Head's face. It disgusted me somehow.
How come the rain have to fall upon me? How come Temari kissed Pineapple Head on the forehead? How come he blushed?
So I ran the other way home.
