Chapter 9 Misato joins the Study Camp
Misato:
the phone rang. I ignored it and I heard mom pick up the extension.
"MISATO! It's for you, it's Haruko-chan!"
Haruko?
I took my eyes off the computer screen and picked up the phone beside my bed.
"Misato?" Haruko said feebly.
"Haruko! What's up?"
"Um, well," she stuttered.
"Why do I have the feeling that this has something to do with Rukawa?"
I suddenly imagined Haruko blushing.
"Yes, um... ah... well, I'm nervous, I guess," she confessed.
"you can handle that, I'm sure! Besides, haven't you done this thing before?"
"Yes, but... I'm still nervous! and I need a BIG favor."
hmmm. sounds suspicious.
"I don't know..."
"would you please come to my house?"
"uh-uh. no way!"
"please?"
"no," i said firmly.
Which is why I found myself standing at the corner of the street, going to Haruko's house. i was almost there when i recognized two people at their front door, one was ringing the doorbell. they were glaring at each other.
It was the red-haired guy (I learned that his name was Sakuragi) and Rukawa.
I mentally smacked myself. I came for this?
I walked up to them and said, "hello"
they both stared at me.
"Who are you?" Sakuragi asked not-so-politely.
"Misato seikichi," I said, holding out his hand. He took it and we shook hands.
I completely ignored Rukawa. (Which was alright cause he was ignoring me, too.)
I rang the doorbell and I heard Haruko's shout of "Wait a minute!"
I glanced at the two people beside me. This was going to be a looooong night.
