Chapter 6
It was foggy. I couldn't see very well. Then I heard a voice. It sounded like Michiru's voice. The voice grew closer and louder. Somehow the fog cleared. I saw something. It got closer like the voice. It was Michiru. I started to run towards her but I couldn't move. I think Michiru was floating. It seemed like we were inside a cloud. She stopped when she was in front of me. Her body was covered in silk. It was cut diagonally from her right shoulder to her left arm. Oh my god. She was so beautiful. Damn, I wanted to touch her. I couldn't move, which sucked. She said something and I couldn't make out of it. I stared at her. Her hand moved and touched the side of my face. Again, I couldn't move. She then leaned towards my face. I think she was going to kiss me...
RRRRRIINNNNNGGGG!!!!!! DAMN!! Stupid alarm clock. It was a dream...and it was getting good. I wanted to sleep but I forced myself up. I was excited about meeting Michiru today. I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and straighten up. Instead of changing, I stayed in my bunny pajamas. I went downstairs. My father was reading the morning paper and drinking coffee. My mother was making breakfast. "Oh, Haruka, I'm so glad you are awake. Your father and I are going to take a jog for a while. Do you want to join us?" "Um..I think I'd rather stay here. I don't really feel too 'energetic' right now." I replied. "Okay then. We'll be back at around 11:30. Here's breakfast I made for you. We'll be going in a few minutes. Remember, you're meeting Michiru today." She smiled when she finished. "I'll eat breakfast a little later. I'm going to change now." I said. I walked upstairs and to my room.
An hour later.....
I was having a hard time finding something to wear. It's not everyday when you meet your forever-in-your-life crush. I didn't know if it was formal, semi-formal, or regular. Choices, choices. I didn't think that it was a date, just a meeting. I decided to wear regular clothes. How regular? This is harder than I thought. Should I bring flowers and candy? No, it'll look too date-like. Should I gel my hair? This was driving me crazy. I think I heard my parents come back from their jogging. I still had a few hours left.
I looked at my regular clothes. Most of them were cotton shirts. Others were gifts from relatives. I only wear those when they actually see me, so that I don't show any signs of disrespect towards them. All of my pants were baggy. I didn't have much of a choice on the pants. I wondered what Michiru would be wearing. She'd usually wear jeans, dresses, or skirts. I begin to daydream about her. I must concentrate. I must concentrate. I must concentrate. I couldn't help myself. I suddenly felt really tired. I decided to take a nap.
Another hour and a half later...
I woke up. I looked at my alarm clock. I had one hour left. I finally decided to wear a nicely ironed black cotton shirt and peach-colored pants. I straightened myself for the last time before walking downstairs. I checked everything so it'll be perfect. This seemed too date-like. But, I want Michiru to have a good impression on me. I went downstairs. "Haruka! You look great! Anyways, I'm going to drop you off at the cafe. If you want me to come to get you, call me. I'll be eating lunch with some of the moms in the Mom meeting. I hope you have a great time with Michiru." Me too.
