Chapter 4 - Jeffery
Still can't write, sorry!!!
jazzy
Still, he didn't seem the type. His father died and his mother was sick. Kobunyashi is a sensible and mature person. That's one fact I am sure of. I'm probably the only girl he's ever had a friendly conversation with.
Maybe he really does like... love me. I'm having trouble adjusting to that word.
The day ended and I went home. Once again, something hit me on the back. This time it was a volleyball.
Jeffery.
Someday my spine will crack and it'll be all HIS FAULT! Still he never hit me hard, just hard enough to KNOCK ME TO THE GROUND!!!
Can't you tell I'm in a cranky mood?
Anyways.
"Are you ok?" He asked.
I shoved him in the chest.
"No really, this time, it was an accident."
Like hell I believe him.
Jeffery pulled me up and studied me, "Something's wrong."
I twitched.
"You're not yourself. You're jumpy, moody, and flinch whenever I touch you." He touched my cheeks lightly.
I flinched.
Realizing my fatal mistake, I grabbed the volleyball and shoved him in the stomach, "Leave me alone." I turned to leave.
He grabbed me by my arm. I flinched, noting the familiarity of the gesture.
"See, I was right." Jeffery said as he spun me around to face him, "Something's up and I'm worried, I'm not letting you go unless you tell me."
His face was stern, I almost laughed. His face was STERN?!?!
"Let me go Jeff." I demanded, eyeing his hand which was gripping my shoulder quite tightly.
"Not until you tell me."
"I'm not joking! Let me go!" I was getting a bit mad.
"Well neither am I!" He said, equally frustrated
"And why?"
"Sira, I've known you since we were little-"
"And tortured me since-"
"THAT'S NOT THE POINT! As much as you don't want to admit it, I know you better than anyone in the whole world. Now I sense something's wrong with you today, and I'm not going to let you go until you tell me, Sira." Inwardly I grinned cheesily. He looked so comical.
"Alright!" I snapped, I couldn't resist to see his face.
"What is it?"
"Kobunyashi told me he loved me."
There it went. His face, like a scream mask.
"THAT BASTARD!"
I raised an eyebrow.
"I...I mean, what did you say to him?"
"Nothing."
"Seriously?"
"Yes."
Was it the light, or did his face looked... relieved?
What a strange boy.
The next day was insane.
It was the weekend after the exam and I decided to burn a hole through my head by watching television. As I said, I have two personalities. The one at home is a lazy, sloppy girl who is a bit stuck up. I was in my Pajamas and had my hair in two messy pigtails. Mom and dad went to work, so I'm stuck at home.
Just then, the door bell rang.
I glanced through the window and saw a flash of brown.
Jeffery.
I rushed to the door and opened it while I mustered a brilliant fly-kick.
Big... big... BIG mistake.
How was I suppose to know that more than one person wore brown?
Didn't I tell you I was socially-dense?
My left foot became attached to Kobunyashi's stomach. For a while I float in the air, foot still connected with his stomach. We stared at eachother, freakishly surprised, but for very different reasons.
Oh my god!
We both fell on the floor. I, being unhurt, stood up first and offered to help him up, he looked at my hand and swallow thickly.
"H...here's your... B...Bach CD." I could see his hands tremble with stress, but he still managed a smile.
"A...arigatou..." I whispered.
