Chapter 2: The Surprise
"Surprise!" screamed everyone as Hitomi walked through her front door.
Shocked she fell backwards only to be caught by her best guy friend Toshi.
"Someone looks surprised. You weren't expecting this were you? I hope you like it since it took Yukari and me weeks to plan." Toshi said to the unresponsive Hitomi.
"Hitomi?"
Hitomi recovered from her temporary shock paralysis. "You did this all for me? Thank you so much Toshi!" She turned around so that she could hug him.
"Hey! What about me? Where's my hug? I planned this too, you know!" Hitomi turned around to see Yukari standing in the middle of the living room looking very annoyed. Hitomi let go of Toshi and ran to glomp Yukari.
"Thank you too! I never expected anything like this." Hitomi let out as she let go of her best friend. Hitomi looked around to see her house full of her closest friends. I can't believe I'm twenty already it seems like just yesterday when I…" Hitomi thought until her friend Oki interrupted her thoughts.
"How does it feel to be twenty?" Oki asked with a laugh.
"No different then nineteen." Replied Hitomi with an innocent giggle.
Later on in the evening Hitomi was upstairs getting the present, this beautiful bracelet her mother had bought her, to go show off downstairs when she heard a knock on her door. She turned around to see Toshi standing in the doorway.
"I'm glad I have the chance now to talk to you alone." He said moving closer to Hitomi.
"I never really got the chance to say how much it means to me that you threw this party for me." Hitomi said as she showed him the bracelet.
"Well, you've seemed down lately, I figured a party would cheer you up."
He said studying the bracelet.
"O that's nothing. It's just an old friend doesn't call anymore, and I really don't know why." She put the bracelet back in the box.
"That friend obviously doesn't value your friendship then. I do though." He said as her looked down at Hitomi. He then cupped her face with his hands. "Hitomi….I don't know how to say this….but I think I am starting to like you as more then I friend." Hitomi stared in shock as he bent down to kiss her. She didn't resist, partly out of shock. Today was just one big surprise after the other. "Would you do me the pleasure of going out with me, Hitomi Kanzaki?"
Flustered, she didn't know what to say. She felt torn in two and she didn't know if she really liked him in that way. "I…..I don't know…..I have to think about it….it's just we've been friends so long….."
"It's ok; just get back to me soon alright? I'm not going to wait forever." He said as he left the room. Hitomi sighed as he left the room and fell on her bed. She thought she might get to like him as more then a friend, but deep in her heart she felt like she was betraying someone and she knew who it was. Van. He was after all her first love. All of a sudden her thoughts turned angry. He hadn't communicated with her in almost a year and she didn't know why, he just stopped. It still hurt. Why not go out with Toshi and stop waiting around for someone who obviously doesn't care about me anymore. Hitomi thought to herself. She made up her mind and went to find Toshi. She was about to go downstairs when she heard a noise from the guest room. She walks in to find Toshi kissing the American foreign exchange student Jessica. Toshi looked up to see Hitomi standing in the doorway.
"Umm….I can explain!" he said turning to Hitomi.
"I know you said you wouldn't wait forever, but how long is forever to you? Ten minutes?" Hitomi screamed as hot tears ran down her cheeks. Why did guys hurt her all the time? "You just asked me out, you jerk. How do you explain kissing that foreign bitch?" She was furious now and was taking all her pent up anger out on Toshi. Jessica apparently didn't appreciate the comment and took the closest thing, which happened to be a bamboo stick and flung it at Hitomi. It barely missed and crashed into the doorframe. That's when Hitomi broke.
"What do you think you're doing? This is my house get out! You too Toshi, get out! Don't come near me just get out of my house! Get out!" Hitomi then ran down her stairs to where her last few close friends remained and ran out the door in delirium. She didn't know where she was going she just ran until she heard the sound of a horn and breaks trying desperately to stop. Then all went black…..
**This is another short chapter because well that's just how it's going so far. Next chapter though is going to be pretty long cause that's when the real fun starts hehehe Who knows what I'll think of? I am writing this as I go along therefore nothing is really planned. I have some crazy ideas though.
**I put in the foreign exchange student part because of my friend Jessica. She came up with that crazy part. Yes, she even came up with the bamboo stick too. Don't ask hehe just accept ^_^
