Author Notes:
What I update? On time... Something must be wrong... Why yes, I have a pretty light week it seems, work has calmed down for a bit because I'm in the "eye-of-the-storm". School... Well, just got an exam so I'm free.
However with all that I do have to contribute that the fact is that this is a chapter I'm fairly happy with, so with all my heart... Please, enjoy.
**************
TerrierLee:
Well, yes, it's a bit more complicated then that, but... Oh you'll see this is the chapter were you go... What?
Teenager Rika:
Hope this is soon enough for you, yeah I'm terrible, this one is a bit better, but there is more, I'm nearing the end of this story though. Hoping to squeeze the rest in two/three more chapters. Then I can get working on "On The Line".
littleweirdwriter:
Heh, the reason why I'm pretty good on the perfectionist personality is because I'm one, if you ever see my desk I have to have the right amount of mess on it, and my eraser, pencils, pens all have to be in a particular spot. The mess have to match the desk, it has to change every day in a certain way, my waste basket has to be filled to a certain level... Yeah, I'm nuts.
Henrika:
I think at the end of this chapter everyone will be going like, "WHAT? What in the world are you doing Arch?" Heh, remeber there is a plan... Oh wait I don't have one... Heh.
Teenager Takato:
As partial as I am to a good stalking or having a good spy network, I put my vote on being psychic... Why because then I have a pretty cool power... However I do have to say it sucks when it comes down to tests, quizes, and exams, imagine if you can read the mind of everyone in class... I could get perfect scores... Sigh.
blucherry:
Heh... I did say sorry... Well this one isn't much of a cliffy... If it is I'll definitly try to get the next chapter out as soon as possible.
kallie:
Oh, "On the Line"? Well I intend to work on it after I finish this story so I need to pop out another two/three chapter before I'm done this story... Don't worry I'm still right now trying to develop it's next chapter... It's hard...
Sorato4ever:
Huh... I don't think I answered that in this chapter... Oh you want me to tell you? Nah, I'll let you keep guessing... Heh... I'm mean... Heh... I like being mean... Heh... Sorry.

On with the story, you guys certainly waited a long time for it, so it's for you guys.

Perfect : Chapter 8/?

~Flashback~
"Am I suppose to congratulate you?" asked Henry dryly as he typed on his computer leisurely.
"That would be nice," I said smiling as I was lying on his bed.
"I take it that you're all prepared then," said Henry his voice was not at all enthusiastic.
"Got my dress and got the place picked out, even got the conversation planned out," I said ticking off my fingers.
"Got your chewing gum and chap lips picked out," said Henry his voice had a slight edge to it.
"What for?" I asked surprised.
"For you're end of date kiss of course," said Henry frowning.
I looked at him dubiously.
"Rika your mom is an actress, she also a director now, you have to know the standard motion of a date," said Henry dumbfound swivelling around in his chair to face me.
"Henry?"
Henry sighed "Yes Rika?"
"I don't know how to kiss," I said quietly.
Henry turned red and slightly flustered as he scooted closer to prop his foot up on the bed, "Well… As I recall, it's just the act of pressing your lips against someone else's lips."
"But I've never kissed anyone," I said terrified.
Henry shrugged, "Don't look at me, you're the one who got the first date remember?"
My brain twirled quickly formulating a plan, "Okay Henry I got a plan."
Henry groaned, "Not one of your plans."
"What's wrong with my plans?" I demanded.
"What was your last plan? Oh wasn't it mixing all that hard candy in the muffin mix?" asked Henry sarcastically.
"You said you liked it," I pointed out.
"I lied," shrugged Henry leaning back in his chair, "I do that from time to time."
"But Henry, I need your help for this one," I whined, "please, please!"
Henry's shoulder's drooped in defeat, sitting up he scooted over till he was beside me, "Fine, fine, what is it?"
"You and I are going to practice," I explained.
Henry's eyes widened, "Wha… What? No, no way."
"Come on Henry you said you were going to help."
Henry rolled his eyes, taking my hands into his, "Rika, you know I love you, I'll take a bullet for you, but the first kiss, they're suppose to…"
Henry couldn't finish the sentence because I took the opportunity to lean forward and kiss him. My entire body shivered from the feeling of his lips, they were soft and warm.
Pulling away slowly Henry eyes opened with mine, his silver eyes shone with a type of light I never saw before.
"Special," he finished in a whisper.
We both leaned forward again, hesitating for a second we slowly kissed again savouring the moment… One of Henry's hands was gently cupping my face while the other held one of my hands; my free hand was running through his hair. Surprisingly my mind was categorizing everything I was feeling, his lips were gentle and innocent; he tasted like sweets and everything good. I was certain that we both didn't know what we were doing, but Henry and I continued to kiss; occasionally alternating which side we kissed from. We continued our gentle kisses until there was a sharp rap on Henry's door.
Springing apart quickly Henry accidentally pushed away a bit too hard, he landed on the floor with a resounding thud.
"Henry?" came his mother's concern voice, "I was wondering if you two wanted any snacks, but now I'm wondering is everything alright in there?"
"Yes Mom," said Henry quickly as he scrambled back to his feet.
"So do you…"
"Yes please," said Henry flinging himself back into his computer, "some tea would be nice."
"And some biscuit please," I said as I pulled back the book I had discarded early to gloat about my date.
I glanced at him occasionally; I knew he wasn't working for all the noise of tapping from the keyboard was coming from tapping the page up and page down keys.
I then realized I was holding my book wrong side up so I quickly corrected it.
What happened? Was that my intention? Was he the one who continued the kiss or did I? Wow, that was a good kiss… Though in reality when I base it, it is quite hard, since frankly I haven't been kissed before until a few seconds ago… God that was… Oh God, what was I thinking? I must be completely nutters. I mean Henry… His my… Oh God… Why did I even…
I didn't notice Henry's mother had entered the room, setting the tray between Henry and me she took notice to our silence and our distant stares blatantly showing that our minds were not on our work. Turing to look at Henry then back at me she opened her mouth several times, it seemed that she didn't know how to word the question without her being uncomfortable. Finally she shrugged; giving up she retreated from the room, however this time leaving the door partly open.
Henry and I didn't spoke as he poured the tea while I put jam on our biscuit, we didn't even look at each other.
My mind was still trying to plan out on what to do, but every time I put together a small semblance of cohesive thought my mind kept bringing up the kiss… Ergh kisses that I shared with Henry. Finally I gather my nerve turning to Henry my mouth was opening to ask a question when I saw Henry in the same pose. Shaken we both closed our mouths and gave each other nervous smiles before turning back to our snack.
After another hour of us exchanging nervous looks I quickly left begging off that I had forgot to do something at home. I was a nervous wreck when I arrived at my home; I went straight to my room flinging myself on my bed trying to figure out what had happened. I was shaking… Then I was crying, I was crying so hard that I hugged my pillow closer to me, burrowing my face into my pillow to muffle my cries.
I had kissed Henry, what was I thinking? I mean he is my best friend! He probably never wants to see me again, he probably feels weird around me now… I just blew a ten-year friendship just because I wanted to get ready for a date… Stupid…
It wasn't until much later that I remembered that I had a date that evening, calling up the boy I cancelled begging it off that I wasn't feeling so well. It wasn't so hard since I felt terrible…
I spent that night walking down a street that I usually walked with Henry… My heart felt heavy, losing a friendship like Henry was something that pained me like nothing in my life, he was the boy that meant everything to me… As much as I always pretended that he was annoying and just a load of trouble, he meant everything to me… Now because of my stupid plans I lost him… I had to make this right. I had to fix this.
Then inspiration hit me, breaking into a run, I was nearly laughing, as I knew what to do.
After much deliberation and a few times of nearly chickening out from this I was standing in front of the Wong's apartment. Ringing the door I waited… After a few seconds of nobody answering I realized that they could be out…
You know the feeling when you want someone to be there but you partly don't want them there… Well that's what I feel… I rang the door bell again just in case…
After a few more seconds I turned, concluding that nobody was home, of course that was when Henry opened the door. Turning I plastered a smile to my face but it faltered when I saw the state that he was in, he dressed in a crumpled T-shirt and jeans that he had wore earlier, but instead he looked more disorderly then before, if that was possible. In truth he looked like crap, I mean it looked like not only the circus and a bus ran him over but everyone in town must have stepped on him since I left him earlier this day. His eyes were haunted too behind him everything was dark.
"Hey," I said timidly.
Henry's eyes widened, taking a step back he looked like he wanted to run, "Rika… Rika, look I need to-"
"No," I said quickly shaking my head, "let me speak… Henry you're my best friend… I don't want that to change… I'm sorry… Can we… Can we just…"
Something flickered in Henry's eyes, nodding slowly a small smile appeared on his face, it looked forced. "Sure… Sure Rika."
Holding out the two very large and heavy paper bags full of Chinese food I smiled, "I got the food…"
His smile widened to a genuine smile, opening the door he shook his head slowly, "I'll get the movie."
*******************
I was confused, ever since that night Henry and I never spoke of the kisses we shared, we both pretended that the event never happened. I had pushed away the memory with a passion, not wanting things to change, going on several dates over the years, trying to forget… Trying but never really, when it came down to it, sometimes, moments like now I could feel Henry's lips on mine. The passion, the sweetness and innocence of his lips… I've never felt anything like it… Never felt so light that I could float… I was scared, I am scared, Henry is everything to me, I meant it then and I mean it now. I need him to be my best friend, what would happen if he wasn't? Who would be the person that would understand me? Who would be the person that I could share tons of vegetarian dishes with and watch endless hours of childish movies?
I groan loudly, it's all very confusing. Why does it always have to be confusing?
"Problem dear?"
Turning in surprise I see Nurse Choi, I had forgotten she was here.
"No," I said weakly.
She gave me one of her piercing stares of inspection; it made my spine shiver like she was looking straight through me. Nodding she turned back to moving boxes on a shelf, "You're an idiot," she muttered softly.
I need to talk to someone about this… Well when it came down to it all the only other person would be Juri since Henry is the problem.
*******************
Uncomfortable, that was the word that would best describe the situation; Henry and I were walking home from school. Henry still haven't told me what happened in the Vice-Principal's office, I decided to just hold my peace while I tried to figure out what was happening to me and more importantly how to deal and plan it all out.
Finally I couldn't take it, gathering my nerves I turned to Henry to ask what had happened with the Vice-Principal, but before I could ask Henry's face was suddenly filled with determination. His bag fell from his shoulder landing on the ground in a heavy plop before he broke into a run. Picking up his bag I followed the as best as I could, I didn't have to worry I knew that look he had on his face, I knew where he was going.
I reached the park, climbing to the highest hill, I see Henry already standing there, his arms stretch out, his head thrown back eyes closed as he felt the wind blow past him. We love this spot, nobody really comes to the park all that much, which is a shame because surprisingly the hill in the park is one of the highest part of town, it was on a cliff face which meant we could hear the crashing of the waves below us, across from us was the city, at night it would light up like a bunch of stars in the night sky. It was also a spot for the perfect sunrise and sunsets.
Frankly I always thought that him doing this was childish but also a big waste of time, but I also liked it, his face was so calm, like all his worries was carried off by the breeze. Dropping our bags against a tree nearby I sat down at his feet letting my body lean against his legs. Unsurprisingly it was cold, hugging myself tightly I didn't move, I knew Henry needed this and in a sense I guess I do to, I stared out into the view, watching as time and life pass without Henry or my interventions. Finally he sat down letting me sit between his legs, I leaned against his body as he wrapped his arms around my shivering form. I started to play with his hand as he rested his head on my shoulder.
It was a while before Henry spoke, "I got suspended."
Turning my head in surprise I looked at him, his was staring out at the water.
"Because…"
"Because of myself," interrupted Henry quickly.
I turned away to look out at the water also; a deep sense of guilt filled me, "How long?" I asked softly.
"Till Monday," responded Henry with a heavy sigh, "then my parents have to meet with Ms. Kawu bright and early in the morning."
"I…" I didn't finish my apology, I knew Henry didn't want to hear it, as far as he was concern I didn't do anything wrong.
"Your parents, will understand," I said softly.
"I hope," Henry sighed hugging me closer.
Not knowing what to say I concentrated in staring out at the view while I played with Henry's hands.
After a while Henry spoke softly, "We better get going, it's getting late."
Tightening my hold onto his arms that surrounded me I leaned further back into him, "Can you… Stay Henry… Let's watch the sunset."
Henry was definitely surprised, "But today is Wednesday."
It took a while before it dawned on me, Sundays was when Henry and I would watch the sunset together because it marked the end of our weekend, it was a little tradition we made when we were little.
"Please."
Henry's arms tightened around me, kissing me softly on the temple we watched as the sun fell.
