The New kids:Part 5


Graduation day...


Mitsui went through the crowd of graduates looking for Kelly,probably the only blonde in the mob.He wanted to know what was yesterday's sudden break up all about.

'Ah..there she is!'Kelly was hanging around with her friends,probably planing what to do after breaking up with her dear boyfriend.He made his way through the black tunic dress students.

All of a sudden,a boy from class 3/4 jumped up at him and babbled,"You're-Mitsui-Hisashi-aren't-you?I'm-Junpy-from-3/4.could-you-please-sign-my-yearbook-.I-would-really-love-that.you're-so-famous."

"What the hell are you doing? Get away from me you dork!"he exclaimed losing sight of Kelly.
'I really should make a list of all the guys I hate in school and kill them when I get out of here.'

"Hisashi...,"Kelly said giving him a tap on the shoulder.Her voice was unsure unlike her usual self,so confident.

"Kelly..I thought I just saw you walk over there."Hisashi exclaim.

"I walked a whole round.I saw that guy stop you."She giggled.

They walked over to their seats and Hisashi held her hand tightly.

Kelly looked at him but he didn't turn to look at her.He looked as if nothing had happened yesterday.But Kelly saw through the tears in her eyes what his physical self could hide.

He was afraid that something he did or said was the cause of their breakup and that he didn't know how to make things right again.

"It's not you Hisashi,"she whispered.

"What are you saying?"His voice was shaking with sadness.

"I'll be leaving for America tonight."she said.

"Is that why we're breaking up?"he asked.

"Yes...look its better if we break up now.And I know what you're going to say."

"What am I going to say?"

"You'll say that our love will keep us..."
"together."

"But the distance will keep us apart and soon we'll just forget each other with every day that passes."

There was a silence between them.None of them knew what to do.

"Ladies and gentlemen,I give you the class of 2001!"The principal said proudly through the microphone.

Everyone got up threw their caps in the air.All except Hisashi and Kelly.
Hisashi was about to stand and and do the same but Kelly held him back.
He looked at her in confusion.

"I..I..Hisashi..will you marry me?"Kelly blurted out.
Hisashi looked at her as if she was crazy.

"W-wh-what?"He finally managed to stammer.

"Look..I know this is a rush and everthing but its the only thing that will keep us together."

"No Kelly,I'm sorry.As much as I want to be with you,I know that this marriage will only destroy our future."

"Damn it Hisashi...why are you being matured at the wrong time?"

"Because this is wrong..."

Kelly pressed her quivering lips against his.
"Maybe you're right...I guess I really messed up this time.Won't you at least see me off at the airport tonight?"

Hisashi didn't say anything.

"Look i'm taking flight SQ17..It's bout 11.30P.m...whether you're there or not its fine with me..but I would love for you to be there."

back at home....

Hisashi laid on his coach.His favourite programme was on but he was paying attention to it.
His mind kept on going'What have I done?".

Was it that important that he had to give up a good future for the one he loved?
Was it so important that they were together?

Or did he want to give up on their love just because something seemed so impossible?
But that's just the way it goes doesn't it...you give up because you know it's impossible.

The only reason why it was impossible was because he knew it was.
He was the one thing that made the marriage impossible.


11.25pm


Kelly looked out of the airport windows.
It was night but the lights from the airplanes blinked continuously not letting the sky be in pitched darkness.

"I wish you were here now....I can't go through this alone,"Kelly whispered to herself.
Her eyes were red,swollen.She had obviously been crying the whole day.

"Passengers taking flight SQ17 please board the flight now."

"Kelly..that's ours flight,"Jonathan said.
He wanted to comfort his sister but he didn't know how.He put an arm around her and smiled.
"Look...I don't wanna leave here just as much as you don't but we have to.It's just the way things go round here."

Kelly looked at Jonathan and nodded.
"I know,"she said."Just give me 5 more minutes, okay?"
"Okay..but don't run off or do anything stupid,"he said winking at her.
She smiled and shoed him away.

5 minutes later....

"I guess you're not coming huh...Hisashi...I'm really sorry."
Kelly sighed and picked up her bags.

"Ring ring ring..."
"Not now...what a bad time to ring,"Kelly mumbled as she fumbled with her bags looking for her cell phone.

"Hello?"
"I love you Kelly."

Kelly turned around and saw Hisashi with a phone pressed against his ear.
"I love you too Hisashi."She cried.
She dropped everything on the floor and ran towards him.
Wrapping her arms around him,Hisashi whispered into her ears,"Let's get married."

Kelly immediately let go of him and stammered,"I thought you didn't want to."
"Look...I want to marry you because I know that's what I want to do and I'm sure of this.It's like everything suddenly became so clear to me and I felt like there was nothing that could stop me from loving you whether it be 1 year later or 50 years later.And whatever stuff that comes along we'll g..."

Kelly pressed her finger against his lips."I do."
"Yes!"Hisashi shouted.His voice echoed through the entire airport.
He quickly reached into his pocket and placed a ring on her finger.
"I picked this up on my way to the airport, that's why I'm late."he said with a grin.
Kelly giggled."You may now kiss the bride."
