Chapter 13:

So where's my happy ending?

"Alright let's talk." She glared at him. "Fine, I'll go first." Rina stopped talking. It seemed as though she was just frozen there, unmoving.

"Um…Rina? You still with us?" Kiba snapped his fingers in front of her eyes.

"Huh? Crap it happened again didn't it?" she leaned against a wall and slide down. Her elbows rested on her knees and her hands cupped her face.

"If you mean, bursting out with random rage, then yeah." Kiba eased up to her, trying to get in a position to comfort her.

"I have this thing. Where if I get impatient or someone lies to me, I blank out and become a whole different angry person. I can't believe you saw that. What did you do to cause it?" Rina still in her embarrassed position.

"Well, I did make you wait for a while, and I lied to you so I could get you to come have lunch with me." Kiba began to blush and tomato red.

Rina head sprang up in surprise. "Why would you do that? I never have lunch plans with anyone. And never lie to me to get me out or be someone you're not." Rina stressed the last sentence strongly.

"I wasn't pretending, I just didn't know how to ask you. So I made it go along with what had happened today." He began to ease away from her. "So will you?"

"Will I what?" Rina became confused with the random question.

"Will you go out with me?" His eyes were full of hope.

Rina with a straight face answered. "No." Kiba's eyes drowned in sadness.

"Why?" He voice was sad and disappointed.

"If you had to lie to me, force out my true being, just to get me to have lunch, then you're obviously no the kind of guy I want to date." She did not stutter, or show any emotion at all. She wouldn't look at him, her shoes held her gaze.

"I hope you don't expect a ride back." Kiba stood up and was looking down on her. "I will have you." He mumbled under his breath.

"Nope." She replied, still no emotion. Kiba stomped back to his car and speed it to the distance. Rina did not break her gaze from her shoes.

After a few minutes, she began to stand up. She nearly fell over when she ran into a guy coming out of the restaurant. He caught her by her elbow. She looked up at him. His hair was a whitish-grey, it stood up either with a lot of gel, or he's got a great stylist. He had an amazingly beautiful face, nice smile, captivating eyes, just your non-average hottie.

"Oh, sorry I didn't see you there. Are you okay?" His voice so angelic, it was addicting.

"Yeah, I just didn't see you coming. Sorry to bother you." Rina spoke lightly, trying not to sound stupid.

"No, it's no trouble at all. Um… I see your date ditched you, want a ride?" he was offering her a ride. Him, this has to be impossible, or at least a dream.

"You see, I would accept, but….." she trailed off.

"But you don't want it because you don't know me. How stupid of me. I'm Kakashi, just Kakashi. I am 20 years old. Do you want the ride back to your school?"

"Well, sure I guess. I might as well put some excitement in my life. I'm Rina Sakaki." She stuck out her hand for a proper greeting; he grabbed her hand and kissed it lightly. Rina began to blush.

"Okay, you go to Kohona, right?" Rina nodded. Kakashi then lead her to his Mini Cooper. It was a turquoise-blue tint. He opened her door for her. Then he made his way to the driver's side.

They drove for awhile. He would steal a glance at her and then quickly whip his head back to stare at the road. She never did the same and it disappointed him, he thought he might have a chance.

"Okay I know I barely know you, but I can tell something's bothering you. Do you mind me asking what?" Kakashi acted timid as if she would jump out of the car and run.

"Is there something wrong with me? I have a spilt personality, but I am freaking 16 and haven't had a date in like 3 years! And then when someone finally asks me out I turn him down, because he's shy. I sure you have had plenty of dates and girlfriends. I ask you again is there something wrong with me?" Rina had a saddened aura about her.

"No, there is nothing wrong with you. You're waiting for the right guy or girl to come along instead of wasting your time with chocolate, money and suffering from heart break." He stopped in front of the school and looked at Rina. He smiled the surprised face, of a girl he just met a little while ago and realized how pretty she was. How her purple tipped hair brought out her bright green eyes. How sadness was not her thing to show. He would have much rather see her smile or in this case be surprised.

"How did you know that?" Rina asked trying to gather herself together.

"College psych 101." He gave Rina the sign that the ride was over.

"Okay, I get out and leave you alone. Thanks for the ride." She closed the door and walked to the front of the school. She was disappointed that he was going to let her go.

"Hey, it would be nice to see more of you. Can I have your number?" Rina gladly gave it and was hoping something good would come of this. He kissed her hand good-bye and she watched as he drove into the distance.

Her heart fluttered in way most unimaginable. It was an unbearable and magnificent feeling she never wanted to go. The feeling left her when she walked into her class and all the talking stopped.

What did he say about me? Fury and embarrassment rose up and took the place of the unnamed feeling.
