The bell signaling the day's end was the happiest moment of my life. I grabbed my bag and dashed out of the door before it even finished tolling. I exited the school and sat on the front steps. I waited a few minutes before Kanda tapped me on the shoulder.
"Hey." I greeted.
"Hey." He replied sitting beside me.
"So…yeah." I replied.
Awkward. Should I say something? Do something?
I thought to myself for a moment ,contemplating if I had the guts to do what I had in mind. I decided I would. I shifted closer to Kanda who was sitting with his elbows on knees, supporting his head.
"About this morning." I said after a few moments of awkward silence.
"What about it?" Kanda replied, sitting up looking at me.
"I never got a chance to reply."
"Then reply now."
"If you insist."
I leaned forward and kissed him.
I pulled away from him a moment later. He sat there dazed, his face pink.
"What was that about?" Kanda asked.
"That was my way of saying ' I like you too'."
"Umm….well…yeah." He responded, he looked completely confused. I stood a held out my hand.
"Come on. Its been a while without a single sign of a rabbit. Lets go see if we can find him." Kanda took my hand and we entered the building once more.
"His last class was history right? So that be this way." I asked pointing down a long corridor.
"That's right."
I pulled Kanda along, not letting go of his hand. Our foot steps echoed off the brick walls. They were in sync. I loved when that happened, when I was little I would take big strides so mine and Mana's were in sync.
We found the classroom without much problem. The door was open. Lavi sat slumped in a desk in the front, arms crossed, giving a death glare to the teacher who stood lecturing him. I knocked on the door and the fat, old man stopped his ramble to shout at us.
"Whatcha want!" he said his deep voice echoing off the walls.
"We came to get the retarded rabbit." Kanda stated.
"I ain't got no rabbit, so scram."
"What he means is, we came for Lavi." I explained.
"We'll he ain't goin' no where yet. The smart ass decided to make a mockery of me, so he's in detention right now. Come back at five o'clock." The man said kicking the door stopper away and slamming the door shut.
"Well then. Lets just go home for the time being. It's still only three." I said. Kanda nodded and shifted his red gym bag that he had slung on his shoulder.
