Tickets

            Ri walked down the halls of her High school, struggling to carry all of her books in her arms. She came closer to her locker while praying in her thoughts for her not to let her clumsy self trip while carrying her load of books. She took a held her books tighter against her chest and stomped over towards her locker. But unfortunately, her prayers weren't answered. She tripped over a crack in the floor and stumbled over it, spilling her books across the floor and falling at the floor. She moaned on the floor and tried to get back up. Some people around her laughed as she scrambled around the floor picking up her text books. She shot them all death glares and they began to back off and move along. She stood up and crammed her books into her locker. She mumbled to herself.

            "Damn my clumsiness…" She sighed and took out her history book and headed to that class before the bell rang. She wasn't paying attention where she was going, she was only staring at the floor. Her shoulder hit against someone else's. She didn't look up.

            "Sorry," she said in a muffled voice. She kept on going. She felt a hand come down hard onto her shoulder. She gasped and her eyes went wide. She spun around quickly and faced the person that had had grabbed onto her shoulder. She blushed for the person she was facing was Matt.

            "Um…um…hi?" she said, laughing nervously. He looked at her with an odd expression.

"Hi…" he said. They stood there, staring at each other. Ri turned a little bit away from him. She finally spoke.

            "Um…I better get to class," she said, beginning to turn fully away from him. He grabbed for her shoulder again, turning her around towards him. Her cheeks blushed lightly as she looked at him.

            "Um…is there something you want?" Ri asked nervously. Matt blinked and stared at her.

"Ah…yeah. Yeah there is," he said in a tense tone.

"Than what is it?"  She asked.

He fumbled with his hands and the put them in his pants pocket.

"Well…you know that…um…the concert is coming soon and all…"

"Oh yeah. It's sometime this week isn't it?" She asked. He nodded slowly.

"Um…yeah it is," Matt said.

"But I haven't really gotten a ticket for it yet. I'm going to try again today I guess…" Ri said looking down at the floor.

"Oh. Really? Well that must suck."

"Yeah it does. They're selling really quickly so I might not get one."

"Well in that case…" He fumbled his hands in his pockets like he was trying to find something in them. Ri just stood there looking at him and waiting to finish his sentence.  He finally pulled something out of his pocket but she couldn't see it well.

"I was wondering if maybe you'd like this…" He placed something in her hand. She slowly opened it, revealing what seemed to a ticket, slightly bent up because it was in his pocket for a while. She looked back up at Matt, shocked.

"T-thank you…" she managed to stumble out.

"It's no problem," he said coolly. "Well I'll see you around sometime." He started to walk away from her but she stopped him.

"Wait…" she said.

"What is it?" he asked confusedly.

"Why are you giving this to me? Shouldn't you give it to your girlfriend or something? Or Jun?"

"Ha. You actually think I have a girlfriend? And I'm not the stupid to give a ticket to my concert to Jun."

"Well why shouldn't you? You are like one of the hottest…" she stopped and looked at him.

Oh shit did I just say that?!

Matt started to laugh.

"It's okay. You're not the only one. I hear it from Jun a lot."

"But why did you choose to give this to me…just wondering…"

"Well, you seemed like a nice person when I met you yesterday so I thought you deserved it." Ri blushed.

"Oh…Well…Thanks again for this."

"Hey it's my pleasure." He smiled at her.

"Ishida! Yoshikawa! Why aren't you in class?!" one of the teachers yelled from behind them. Ri jumped slightly. Matt turned around and faced the teacher.

"I'm sorry Mr. Akiyama. I guess we didn't hear the bell ring."

"Well didn't you notice all the other students leaving the hallways Mr. Ishida?"

"Well…no."

"I'll be seeing the two of you after school…" Mr. Akiyama said, glancing at the two of them.

"Okay." Ri squeaked out. He looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

"I'm disappointed with you Ms. Yoshikawa. It's not like you to cause trouble at school."

"I know. I'm sorry," she sighed.

"Well go to your classes now. I'll be seeing you two later…" He stormed down the hallway. Ri shrugged and glanced at Matt.

"Well…I'll be seeing you."

"Yeah. See ya."

They walked away from each other and went into their separate classes.

A/N: Whoo! I'm finally done with chapter four!  *does a victory dance* Well I hoped you all liked it. Until next time, bye!
