Chapter 7
Takuya turned and looked at her.
"Yeah?" Takuya asked.
"I need to talk to you for a sec. Do you guys mind?" Izumi asked, nodding towards the others.
"Go right ahead." Leighanne said winking.
Izumi rolled her eyes and pulled Takuya into the kitchen.
"Well, what did you need to talk to me about?" Takuya asked.
************
"I wonder what they're talking about." Kouichi said.
"Should we spy on them?" Leighanne asked.
"That wouldn't be very nice." Kouji said.
"Yes, but it would be very fun." Leighanne said, grinning.
Kouji sighed. Kouichi and Leighanne tip-toed to the kitchen door.
"Sometimes I worry about those two." Kouji said to himself.
************
"About the dance; I kinda—sorta--." Izumi started. "--asked Kouji to go first, so I can't go with you."
Takuya stood silent for a short moment. "Alright, then you can go with him." He said finally.
"I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have agreed with you in the first place." Izumi said.
"Don't worry, maybe some other time. I mean, we were just going as friends, right?" Takuya asked. "And I know you really like Kouji."
"How'd you know?" Izumi asked.
"Leighanne told me." Takuya grinned.
"Grr......I'm going to kill her." Izumi said through gritted teeth.
************
"How could Izumi have made such a stupid mistake?" Leighanne asked.
"How could you have told Takuya?" Kouichi asked.
Leighanne sweatdropped. "You know I meant well, otherwise Takuya wouldn't understand why she chose two people to go to the dance." she said.
"Uh huh….sure." Kouichi said.
***********
"Of course, I wished you had told me sooner, because I'll need to find a date before the dance." Takuya said frowning slightly.
"Don't worry, I've got a ton of friends that would love to go with you!" Izumi smiled.
Takuya looked at her uncertainly. "Are they as weird as you?"
Izumi glared at him. Takuya laughed slightly. "Well don't blame me! I mean, they're all dateless and its only a couple days until the dance!"
"I'll just give you a few phone numbers so you can give them a call." Izumi said, ignoring his last comment.
"Thanks Izumi." Takuya smiled.
"It's the least I can do." Izumi said. "Again, I'm really really sorry."
Izumi opened the door quickly, hitting Leighanne and Kouichi, and found the two on the floor, on top of each other.
"Um…what…?" Takuya wondered.
"Uhh…" Leighanne said. "Kouichi! What the heck are you doing? Get off me! Geez…" Leighanne quickly got up and brushed herself off before heading to the couch."
Takuya and Izumi stared at Kouichi who was blushing madly on the floor.
"Well, I'd better be going, I have…grocery shopping to do." Kouichi said, getting up.
"But—I thought we just went yesterday—"Kouji started.
"OK so bye!" Kouichi said quickly before running out the door.
Izumi stared at the door, confused. Kouji just laughed, as he watched the whole thing from the living room.
****************************************************************************************************
(The day before the dance)
Izumi ran up to Kouji in the hall.
"Hey Kouji. Can we talk?" Izumi asked.
"Sure, but not right now. I have to get to class early to make up something." Kouji said quickly. "During lunch?"
"Alright, see you later." Izumi said waving.
Kouji walked into his classroom and picked up a sheet of paper from the desk. He began working immediately. Sayoko looked at him from outside the classroom and smiled to herself, she then turned to her friend Kate, next to her and said, "You know what to do?"
"Of course!" Kate replied.
"Then hurry up! Class is about to start!" Sayoko said, pushing her in the classroom.
"Um, Kouji?" Kate said.
Without looking up from his paper, Kouji asked, "What?"
"Do you mind helping me with this one problem?" Kate asked, holding up her math assignment.
"Can't you do that by yourself?" Kouji snapped.
"Please???" Kate pleaded.
Kouji rolled his eyes, and held his hand out. Kate handed him the paper. Kouji read the problem for a minute, wrote down a few things, and gave back the assignment.
"Oh thank you thank you thank you!" Kate squealed, hugging him and giving him a kiss.
"Get off me, will ya?!" Kouji shouted, pushing her away.
Kate skipped off out of the room. Kouji glared at her before returning to his work.
"Excellent." Sayoko smiled. She flipped her long red hair behind her and placed her camera back in her bag.
****************************************************************************************************
Izumi walked with Leighanne into the classroom.
"Have you talked to Takuya yet?" Leighanne asked.
"Lei, didn't you see me pull him into the kitchen yesterday?" Izumi asked.
"Oh, THAT'S what you were doing." Leighanne said.
"What'd you think??" Izumi asked.
"Well," Leighanne said, staring at a piece of lint on the floor.
"Lei! How could you possibly think that???" Izumi exclaimed.
"I just thought you were making a move on Takuya or something…" Leighanne said laughing.
"Right, that's why I'm going with Kouji to the dance, isn't it?" Izumi said sarcastically.
"You never know!" Leighanne said.
"Oh, well I haven't talked to Kouji yet. I'm going to at lunch." Izumi said sighing.
"You're going to leave me at lunch?" Leighanne asked, trying her best to sound hurt.
"Sorry, boys come first." Izumi teased.
Leighanne rolled her eyes.
"You would say that too, wouldn't you?" Izumi asked.
"Of COURSE not! Friends always come first in my book!" Leighanne said proudly.
Izumi looked at her skeptically.
"Yeah, yeah, ok, go have lunch with Kouji." Leighanne said.
****************************************************************************************************
(At lunch)
"So, Kouji," Izumi started. "I'll bet you're wondering what's going on about the dance and Takuya and I."
"A little," Kouji said.
"Yeah, I know, sorry. The truth is I agreed to go with him after I you asked me. I guess that's just me being stupid. But I cleared things up with him so that I would be only going with you." Izumi said.
"You are pretty clever, aren't you?" Kouji said.
"You're wondering why I chose you, right?" Izumi asked.
"Not really, but now I am." Kouji said.
"Well, it's only fair. You asked me first, I only wish I hadn't been so stupid." Izumi said.
"Mistakes happen." Kouji said.
"Why are you being all calm about this?" Izumi asked, waving her arms in the air. "Goodness I'm telling you the truth about everything and all you're doing is sitting there!"
"I don't want to overreact. Besides, I know you already have everything sorted out so I have nothing to worry about." Kouji said.
"I—well—ok—then I'll see you later?" Izumi asked.
"Sure." Kouji said, getting up. He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving.
"That was the weirdest apology I've ever given...." Izumi thought to herself.
****************************************************************************************************
(After school)
Kouji turned the dial on the combination lock and opened his locker. He stuffed some books in and slammed the door. He turned around only to be face-to-face with Sayoko.
"What do you want?" Kouji asked irritably.
"Touchy touchy, you'd better act nicer to me Kouji dear." Sayoko sneered.
"And why would I ever want to do that?" Kouji replied angrily.
"It's a little something I call a deal." Sayoko smiled, holding up a Polaroid of Kouji hugging Kate.
"Where'd you get that?" Kouji asked, shocked.
"Don't you remember this morning? You were so kind to help my friend out with her homework!" Sayoko giggled.
"Whatever." Kouji said.
"You're going to take me to the dance tomorrow." Sayoko said.
"No way! I already told you I'm going with Izumi!" Kouji said irately.
"Oh, but if you don't go with me, then I'll show this Polaroid to Izumi and won't she be surprised!" Sayoko laughed out loud.
Kouji shook his head in defeat and looked at her icily.
"You win." Kouji said coldly. Sayoko smiled and placed her photo in the front pocket of her bag.
~Hahaha, end of chapter, just when it was getting good! ^__^ Yes, I do realize Izumi picked Kouji, well, duh, it's a Kouzumi. ::gasp:: is Kouji REALLY going with Sayoko? You'll have to wait until the next chapter. Don't worry, I'll update soon, review!
