Chapter 2: TWO'S COMPANY, THREE'S A CROWD
It was beautiful sunny afternoon. You would expect that everyone would be enjoying the good weather, hanging out with friends, chilling at the arcade. Well, like everything about Aya (and in this story), what you least expect, is what usually happens.
Aya, along with her new friend, Kasuki, was spending her time in the city park, studying Geometry. Yes, Geometry.
Aya slammed the book closed. She let out a cry of exasperation and whispered a small curse.
She hated Geometry. Okay, not really hate. More of really bad at it. And now, with this lesson of finding the triangle's sides using the Pythagorean Method, it was just plain hell.
Kasuki walked over to Aya, and patted her shoulder comfortingly. "It's okay, Aya. You'll get the hang of it. You're the smartest girl I know."
Aya looked over to him, and nodded. "Thanks, Kasuki." She blushed slightly at his comment.
He reached for her book and looked at the examples. "What are you studying now?"
"The Pythagorean Theorem."
"For an easier technique you can use the Pythagorean triple," Kasuki explained to Aya.
"The Pythagorean triple are: 3, 4, 5; 5, 12, 13; and 8, 15, 17. You will be able to solve the length of the sides of a right triangle faster using this method." Kasuki looked up from the book to Aya who was listening intently.
"It's important for you to memorize these… Now, can you repeat the Pythagorean triple?" Kasuki asked Aya.
"Uhmmm… 3, 4, and… 5?" she paused to look at Kasuki to see whether she got it right.
"Good! Keep going…" he replied encouragingly.
"Then… 5, 12, 13… and the last one is 8, 15, and…" she tried to recall the last number. "17! 8, 15, 17! That's it!" she answered with glee. Kasuki clapped his hands and praised Aya. Aya blushed.
Rei was behind a tree for sometime now, listening to them study, and talk to each other. Feeling that he had heard enough, and that he might have been eavesdropping, he started to walk away.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Rei's Point of View
See what Aya has turned me into. I've resulted to spying! Why am I listening to them? It's not like I care what they are talking about! I do not have a problem with that guy teaching her Geometry. I mean, I'm kinda good at it...I could've taught her...WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?! WHY AM I THINKING ABOUT THEM?!
Hey, come to think of it, I've never heard Aya laugh like that. She's so happy when they are together. I don't remember her being that happy when it was still she and I…
Why am I thinking of this? What is happening to me?!
~~~~~~~~~~~
Next day. (Saturday)
"Aya, wanna hang out today?" Kasuki called her through her cell phone.
'But I want Rei to take me out!' she wanted to answer. But, of course instead, "Sure… I've got nothing else better to do." She tried to sound happy.
"See you at three p.m. then?" His happiness evident through his voice.
"Okay… Bye," she hung up her phone.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Aya's Point of View
Why did I say yes? Why did I say yes? Why can't I say no? It's just a small word. I can't go out with him I know that I don't LOVE him. Rei is the only one who - who - I will ever love. But he's so nice to me and all. Is it possible that I will like him? Eventually? Will I forget Rei?
His soft, light brown hair is so different from Rei's dark brown hair. His smile, his words, almost everything about them is so different. Kasuki is so warm, and with him, I feel as if I'm with everything warm and comforting. But Rei, there's the chill, the cold, the emptiness... They are two different worlds, and I… I don't know whom I should be with, for one promises to always be there for me, and the other, well, didn't even make any promise at all.
Rei… If only you weren't so cold to me, and if only you told me that you felt the same way as I did, it wouldn't have to be this way… It wouldn't, it wouldn't…If only...
~~~~~~~~~~~
Kasuki's Point of View
Yes! I'm going out with Aya! I must be the luckiest person alive! Thank you, God!
How could Otohata reject Aya? He must be crazy turning her down like that. Can't he see that she is beautiful, smart, sweet, talented, and forever kind?
You will see, Rei, just how Aya will stay happy with me. You will realize that I am meant for her as she is for me. She'll also learn to love me and forget you Otohata!
~~~~~~~~~~~
"Let's go to this new restaurant, Aya," Kasuki said, "I hear they serve great sushi!" He grinned at her. Aya just nodded her head and tried to smile back.
When she entered the restaurant and looked out the windows, Aya soon realized that the restaurant was exactly in front of the store where Rei worked.
Kasuki got them a seat near the window. 'Otohata will see Aya with me and he'll be jealous for sure,' He said to himself and he flashed an evil grin.
"What are you thinking about?" Aya's voice broke his train of thoughts.
"Nothing. Let's order something to eat," He quickly tried to regain his composure, and reached out for the menu.
~~~~~~~~~~~ While they were eating…
At the other side of the street, Rei took out some boxes, and when he looked up he caught a glimpse of the two at the restaurant.
~~~~~~~~~~~At the restaurant…
Kasuki saw Rei putting out some boxes. A plan formed in his mind and he decided to act real sweet around Aya.
Very slowly, he took her hand, which surprised her. He also brushed his other hand against Aya's cheek very tenderly. Kasuki looked deep in her eyes, love and care shining throught them, the green holding the promise of happiness and comfort.
Aya saw these emotions in his eyes, and blushed hard under his intense stare.
As he set down the last box, Rei looked at them again, and turned on his heel.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Kasuki's Point of View
Didn't he see me and Aya? I am sure he did! He looked straight at us! Why didn't he act jealous? Is Otohata that cold that he has no feelings of jealousy whatsoever? Is he that cold that he can't feel anything? He must be some sort of robot!
~~~~~~~~~~~
Aya's Point of View
What happened to Kasuki? Why did he act around me like that? What was he thinking?
~~~~~~~~~~~
Rei's Point of View
What are they doing?! Are they going out already? They looked pretty intimate. I am not jealous! How long have they known each other? Did Aya decide to have a relationship with him? And what was Kasuki thinking? Why did he do that to Aya? Does he really like her? Did he honestly think that I will be jealous? I can't be jealous! I wouldn't care less if he was kissing her I don't even know my feelings towards Aya…I am not jealous!
