Mitsui
Note: Mitsui's part.
I sure was exhausted that I even had to reschedule the date. I lay back on my bed looking up at the ceiling of my room. Terri sure is pretty, wonder why I notice it only now. I don't know if Terri noticed I was hitting on her awhile ago…
The next day…
"Uncle Kagawa! Good morning! Is Terri-chan ready?"
"Come in Hisashi. She'll be right down."
"I'm ready!"
I heard Terri called from up stairs, probably from her room, which I haven't been in since we were 5. Terri looked pretty as usual. She had her hair down to her shoulder with the bangs clipped on the right. Her heart- shaped face was shown out. Instead of wearing her usual diamond earrings, she had one ear cuff on her right ear. She wore no make-up, just a dab of lip-gloss.
"Wow," I muttered to myself and found myself staring at her.
"Let's go! Bye Daddy! Have a good day! See you later!"
"Uh… have a good day sir."
I'm sure Uncle Kagawa muttered something but it's too soft to be heard by anyone. I forgot all about it when we rode the car. I opened the door for her and went on the driver's seat. I turned the radio on and was trying to find a station to tune in. When I found a station, which was playing 'Sayonara', I tuned in to that station.
"Like the song?"
She nodded while humming with the tune.
"Do you plan to join any club at school?"
"I was thinking of joining the drama club. Why don't you sign up with me?" She said as she faced me. I gulped because her face was really so close to me.
"I would if you hadn't let me join the basketball club."
"Don't worry, it won't interfere with any practices. It's only break-time you know? I saw it in their schedule. I'll sign you up if you want to."
"Count me in!"
I smiled at her hoping to see her cute little smile. She showed me a smile, as if she knows what I expected. I love that smile since we were kids. She looks so cute! When we reached school, I pinched her on the cheek.
"Hey! What's that for?"
"That's what you get for being so cute!"
Think she still hasn't gotten the idea I'm hitting on her. She trusts me. She really does. We went to class together. I noticed that people are watching us on our way. So I held her hand. She looked at our hands tied up and looked at me with a puzzled look I smiled at her and she smiled back, not knowing I'm longing of caressing her hair with my hand. She held it tighter, maybe thinking I'm fooling around. We stopped at the bulletin board as she signed both of us up for the drama club. I was daydreaming when Rukawa bumped into us.
"Gomene." He said as he opened his eyes to see whom he had bumped.
"It's ok." I told him and looked straight at Terri, "You ok?"
"Yeah. I'm fine."
I looked at Rukawa with my killing eyes.
"Got to run! See you around!" He saw right through me.
"Sorry about that!"
Terri just smiled at me.
"You all right Terri?"
"Yeah."
"Something troubling you?"
"No. Nothing."
"Come on! I know you since we were 5! I practically know you!"
"Really, it's nothing. Don't mind me."
"Please…" I made a sad puppy dog face.
"It's just that, those two freshmen you introduced to me kinda freaks me out."
Great! She's not interested with any of them.
"Terri, mind if I ask you a question?"
"Sure, go ahead!"
"Do you, um, do you have a boyfriend or someone you're interested in already?"
"Nope. No one seems to interest me. Why'd you ask?"
"Nothing."
"Do you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Do you have someone…"
"No!" I interrupted her. I didn't know how red I am that time but I'm sure I blushed a lot.
"Someone you interested in?"
Yes! Hisashi! Tell her!
"Yes…"
"Who is it?"
I stopped walking and she was stopped too. I gazed into her dark eyes and wish time would slow down for me to kiss her. But then the bell rang.
"Let's go!" That's the last words I heard before I was lost in space.
Before I knew it, it was break time already. We went to the drama club for our first meeting.
"We are planning to put up a play next week. The play is going to be about two friends who were together and was separated when they were kids and met together and fell in love."
Sounds like the story of our lives. I looked at Terri and saw her really participating. I listened to the leader too.
"Who volunteers to be the lead? I need a girl and a boy to do the parts."
"Want to volunteer?" Terri asked me.
"Sure!"
"Over here!"
The leader of the drama club looked right at her. "You're volunteering?"
Terri nodded, "And my partner's over here." She pointed to me.
"Perfect! A couple in real life! We'll have no problems practicing."
"We're not a couple in real life." I argued because I saw Terri blushed. Me too. I don't know how much I blushed there. But I'm thinking it's near.
"Don't deny it." One of the people in the crowd shouted.
Terri and I looked at each other. And turned away.
"Here are the scripts. Please memorize your scripts in scene one and two for the practice tomorrow. Dismiss!" The leader said.
When we went outside…
"I'm sorry about what happened in there." I told Terri.
"It's ok, it's not you." She looked at me and flashed a smile.
I smiled back, knowing everything will be fine.
"Hey! We're going to practice tomorrow during break-time. Memorize your part well."
"Yeah. But I think I'm going to have a hard time."
"Why?"
"I don't have much time tonight because of, basketball practice and our date tonight. I'm going to bring you to the best restaurant in town."
I saw Terri blushed. "You don't really need to. It's just a deal. I just want to reward you for joining."
"Even though you didn't asked me to join the basketball club, and the drama club, I'm still going to treat you there. You're my best pal!"
"Thanks…"
