Chapter 12
Before I had a chance to think, a cold hand touched my shoulder. I jumped. Scared. Who, me? Brandon laughed. Damn him. "Tenoh, what's going on here?" Oh damn... It was Mr. Kamon! Hey, it wasn't my fault for anything. I turned around. "Nothing, sir." He glared at me. "There's obviously been a fight here. You are bleeding." Smart. Brandon thought Mr. Kamon didn't notice so he started to back away. "Hold it right there, boy. Where do you think you are going?" That jerk just stood there. Clearly he was scared. Haha.
Mr. Kamon had a defiant stare on the both of us. How is this situation my fault? I haven't done anything wrong. "What's going on here, you two?" I quickly answered before jerkface did. "He punched me." Why else would I be bleeding? The teacher then looked at Brandon. "Why did you punch him?" Brandon hesitated before speaking. "It's about personal stuff....we're cool now.." Mr. Kamon arched his eyebrow. "I need an explanation, whether it's personal or not, or you can discuss this in the principal's office." The jock fidgeted. He was probably going to make up a good reasonable explanation. Yeah, right.
"Well, you see, we were..um..fooling around.and..stuff.." Mr. Kamon did not look convinced. Yay. "Come on. I want you in my office now. Follow me." I stood and watch as Mr. Kamon took Brandon to his office. Haha. He deserved it anyway. I turned and walked out of the campus.
At Home..
I decided to call Michiru up and ask her out. I was thinking of Magic Cafe House, the place where we first met. It was the closest place that I don't need a car to drive to. I only asked my mother that Saturday because I was too lazy to walk. Okay, this Saturday. I hope she's not busy. I nervously picked up the phone and dialed her number. Hey, I'm new at this. "Hello?" I gripped the phone hard. I think it was Michiru's mother. "Hi. May I speak to Michiru?" I hoarsely said. Okay, that sucked. "Yes you may. Hold on please." How nice. As I waited, I started to fidget with the phone cord. "Hello, its Michiru. Whom am I speaking to?" I blinked. I gripped the phone harder. "Uh..its Haruka." I stopped. Speak! Speak! Why did I stop? Told you I was new at this. "..What's up?" Ah, her voice is always oh so cheerful.I'm supposed to say something, aren't I? "Well.I was just wondering if you were busy..this Saturday." That sounded horrible! "Okay. When and where?" A thousands points earned for me. And minus a few hundred points for the pause breaks. Hey, I did fairly well. I told her I'd pick her up at 12 A.M. and walk to the Café together.
Saturday.11:30 A.M.
I woke up with an early start. Everything must be perfect today. And everyday that we are together... Anyways, I was really excited and jumpy this morning. I didn't tell my parents, only saying that I was doing something really important and was out all day. My mother had this confused look in her face like I wasn't myself at all. Hey, I have never been this joyous in all my life. Maybe because I was gloomy and sad all the time.
I was going to walk to Michiru's house. Hey, I need exercise. Plus, I haven't been going to the gym regularly so it's a substitute. After saying bye to mother, I happily went to pick up Michiru. As I walked, I thought of the many things that we could do together. I was overjoyed with pride. Finally, someone that truly can pull me out of the darkness! I don't want to feel the sorrow or depression anymore.
Suddenly, somebody pulled me into an empty alley. What the..? A cloth suddenly was at my mouth. Smart. "Don't move or I'll shoot!" That was a lame quote. I think he got that from a movie or some show. Of course I did not panic. He has to know whom he's dealing with. Then, a pistol shot up and aimed at my temple. Great. Time to panic.
