It's Just a High School Crush
Chapter 4: "Final Decision"
By Jin Kazama
***
"All right, class," announced Mrs. Yang. You will pair up in twos. This certain activity is quite simple, so it shouldn't take too long... Mr. Kazama!... Mr. Kazama?"
Jin was slouched in his desk with his eyes closed, his headphones on, and his CD player on, moving his head to the rhythm of the music, oblivious to everything around him.
"Mr. Kazama!" This time Mrs. Yang walked over to the back of the class where Jin sat. She stood right in front of him and put her hands on her hips. She stood there patiently, waiting for Jin to realize she was there.
It didn't take him too long. He looked up at her and sheepishly put his headphones away. "Sorry," he said, trying to look innocent.
"Well, I hope you certainly are," she said sternly. "For your punishment, you'll have to work with..." She looked around. "...with Julia Chang."
Jin tried not to let his jaw drop. He was about to protest, but instead mumbled, "Yes, Mrs. Yang." He glanced at an unhappy Julia. The two were still not talking to each other.
"Now, class," continued Mrs. Yang as she walked back up to the front of the room. "I want you to pair up in twos as I said before. Please do this now... quietly."
The noise level of the room increased as the students began picking their friends as partners. All but Jin and Julia.
"I said 'quietly,' " the teacher said loudly. The noise level decreased the slightest bit, but it was certainly better than before.
Jin sat in the desk next to Julia. He ran a hand through his hair. "Sorry," he apologized to her. "I didn't mean to work with you."
"It's okay," she said, annoyed. "Let's just do this."
***
You are such an idiot, Kazama! Jin scolded himself. It was bad enough he had had to work with Julia last hour, but now Julia was even more mad at him. And he didn't even know why. Now she might think I did that on purpose, he thought bitterly. His head hung low as he walked in the crowded hallway to his next class. Wait... Why should I care what she thinks? I shouldn't. But I can't stop thinking about that dream...
The dream had haunted him night after night. This would bother anyone, but it bothered Jin especially. He felt as though the dream wouldn't go away until it really happened. But, he knew, that would never come true. He shuddered. What if it did come true? Nah. He knew he should stop playing the 'What If...?' game and think about reality. But... his dream. It... impacted him so much though he knew it were not true and it was just a dream. But still... he couldn't get it out of his head.
"Jin?"
He turned to see Xiaoyu smiling at him. "Uh... what?"
"You... you called last night, remember?" Xiaoyu reminded him.
"Oh... oh yeah. Um... when is a good time? This weekend, maybe?" His previous thoughts slowly disappeared as he concentrated on Xiaoyu.
"Mmm... this weekend sounds good. Sunday okay?" She bit her lip.
"Uh, yeah, Sunday's good. I was thinking about a movie and then we could... you know, grab something to eat afterwards." Hope filled his eyes.
"Great! Pick me up at... oh, say six."
He smiled at her. "Any particular movie you want to see?"
"Yeah, how about—?"
Jin groaned. "Not another chick flick, please. Anything but that."
Xiaoyu grinned slyly at him. "Actually, I was thinking of—"
"Nyah, nyah, nyah... I can't hear you..." Jin had covered his ears with his hands and was rolling his eyes.
She laughed and poked him in the ribs. "Jin! I'm only joking..."
He put his hands down. "You don't say..." He smiled playfully at her. "Let's just, uh, pick the movie when we get there... and you better not buy tickets in advance," he warned her, "or else I'll beat you up, punk." He made a fist into his hand and cracked his knuckles.
Xiaoyu playfully slapped his cheek. "Oh, I'm not afraid of you, Mr. Hulk. I'll talk to you later." She slipped into Mr. Wan's classroom, smiling at Jin.
Jin's smile stayed on his face as he stared at her back.
***
As Xiaoyu took her seat, Hwoarang sat down next to her. " 'Mr. Hulk,' eh?" Hwoarang laughed, raising an eyebrow. "Since when do you flirt with Kazama?" He put an arm around her, which Xiaoyu threw off in disgust.
"Go away, Hwoarang... What Jin and I talk about is none of your concern and none of your business." She looked at him squarely in the eye.
Hwoarang shrugged. "Okay. Say... how about we plan our date now? The bell shouldn't ring for at least two more minutes."
Xiaoyu blinked at him, confused. Date? When had she agreed to a date with him?
Hwoarang, sensing her confusion, added, "Remember? I... uh, called you last night if you wanted to go out, and, uh... you said yes." He looked expectantly at her.
Xiaoyu frowned, then mentally slapped herself. I can't believe you were so stupid to agree to go on a date with Hwoarang! she thought to herself bitterly. "Uh... yeah."
"So, is this weekend fine?"
"Actually... no. I've, uh, got other plans for this weekend," Xiaoyu said, trying to avoid eye contact.
"Oh," he said, running a hand through his hair. "Because I was hoping maybe a fancy dinner with a limo," he tempted her.
"A limo, huh?" She looked at him. "Well, I-I guess I can't refuse an offer like that."
Hwoarang rubbed his hands together. My plan is working per-fect-ly! "Great! How about next weekend, Saturday? I'll pick you up at seven."
Xiaoyu nodded her head weakly. "Sure..."
Hwoarang went on while Xiaoyu mentally turned the 'off' switch on her hearing. "We can go for a night out on the town, eat somewhere special, maybe go to an ice cream parlor for dessert..."
***
"Jin! Jin, wait up!" Julia cried, running as fast as she could after him.
Jin turned, surprised to see her. "Is... everything okay?" he asked tentatively.
Julia shook her head, breathing heavily. "No... no, everything isn't okay. I... I just want to say... that I'm sorry."
An eyebrow quirked up. "For what, Julia?"
"For..." Julia waved a hand. "... being arrogant and stupid... you know, I'm usually not like this..."
He smiled kindly at her. "Hey, don't worry about it. Everything's cool..."
"But it's not... Let me make it up to you, okay? I was just moody today because of... well, because of a weird dream I had last night... but everything's okay now."
Jin's ears caught exactly what she had just said. A dream? Possibly the same dream I had had?... Nah... "Yeah, it's fine. You don't need to—"
"Oh, but I do. Let me take you out. This Sunday, at seven. Meet me at the movies, okay? We can watch something, then grab a bite to eat... Sound good? Good," she said before he had the chance to answer. "Listen, I've really gotta go now. I'm going to be late for class. Remember: Sunday at seven at the movies. Bye!" She ran the opposite direction before he could say anything.
Jin smiled. Then he made a mental note of the date. Wait a minute... Sunday at seven at the movies?! I can't! I... have another date with Xiaoyu! At six at the same movie theater! Ooh, great. Just what I needed. A great big decision... You know, I could just go to both... Nah, that's too hard. Besides, I've seen it been done on 'The Flintstones' and 'Boy Meets World'; it never works... I'm going to have to choose which girl is more important to me: Xiaoyu Ling, or Julia Chang.
Riiiiing!
Oh great, he thought sarcastically. Now because of them, I'm late for class!
He sped off to Mr. Wu's class, the thoughts of Xiaoyu and Julia jumbled up in his very confused mind. Then suddenly, it hit him. Hard.
He stopped, a smile gracing his features. He knew who he was suddenly falling for. He knew who she was. He pictured her beautiful face and thought of what he had to say to her, once again speeding off to Mr. Wu's class, knowing full well what he must do.
