Dammit! After I had vowed to not think of him that way, I still go and stare at him like a complete idiot! I wanted to bang my head against a wall, or something.
Not that I can do that right about now.
I was lying on the floor, staring at the ceiling in the dimness of Kou's bedroom. He was sleeping soundly in his bed, his breathing rhythm the same as Yumi's laying in the crib at the end of the bed.
I had decided that avoiding Koushiro was no longer an option. Yamato was right. I could probably lose his friendship, and I really didn't want that.
Wow. I actually said that Yamato was right.
So now here I am, back on speaking terms with Kou, forcing my stupid feelings back into the deepest part of my mind. I was hoping they wouldn't come back out anytime soon.
And yet there I was staring at him during class.
I'm such a dumbass.
I have to find something to take my mind off Kou. Didn't Nakamura say something about a party Saturday night? We had to have our partners as "dates".
But she gave me and Koushiro special permission to find another girl as a date.
I looked through the blinds above the bed and saw the dark night sky illuminated by a slight half moon. It must be past midnight, meaning it was Tuesday. Meaning I have about four days to find a girl to take to the party.
And Kou will be pushed out of my head for the rest of the project.
Hey, I can do that! I'm Taichi, I'm captain of the soccer team! There are probably plenty of girls who would want a date with me!
Plus, with Yumi around, who would refuse? Girls love babies, right?
