Author's Note: Well, I think you would think I'm mad because I just upload
chapter 3 like only a few days ago. I think I'm mad too. But who wouldn't?
The exam stress is killing me!!! If I die of an early death, the education
policies are to be blamed! Sorry, I'm crapping! Well here's chapter 4, hope
you will like it!
Chapter 4:
Tsukushi's POV:
(one day later, in Tsukushi's house)
(ring~ring~ring~)
'Hello, Tsukushi here,' I said, answering the phone call.
'Tsukushi, Rui here.'
'Why do you bother to call? I don't want to talk to you'
'Wait, Tsukushi. I'm sorry. I know that I should have called you earlier, but I was busy.'
'BUSY? Busy with what?'
'I can't tell you now. Any way, can we cancel this weekend's date?'
'WHAT? WHY?'
'I am busy. Got to go now. Sorry Tsukushi, talk to you later.' Rui hung up. What's with Rui? I don't understand what could be more important than our date? We only get to meet once a week!
'Tsukushi, are you okay?' Doumyoji asked as he walked into my room. 'Had a tiff with your beloved?' I glared at Doumyoji.
'Whether I had a tiff with Rui is none of your business,' I answered.
'Hey, I was just trying to be kind. I promised me you remember,' he replied, flashing me a smile. Immediately, I had this foreboding feeling.
'What is it you want?'
'You read me like a book. I need your help again. It's regarding the present.'
'I thought we chose it yesterday?'
'Well, yes. But I don't know how to give it to her.'
'So you want me to teach you how to give the necklace to her.'
'Yup. I'll do anything you want.'
'Even letting me stay here for free?'
'Yes. Do we have a deal?'
'Okay, but on one more condition, you tell who this lucky girl is.' Doumyoji paused for a while.
'Alright, but you must never tell anyone else.' I nodded my head and looked at him eagerly. 'It's Haruko.'
'Haruko? Our chief editor?'
'Yes. I work as a journalist because of her.'
'Does she know yet?'
'No. I plan to tell her next week on her birthday.'
'Fine. Let's get cracking now!' I said, touched to find the horrible Doumyoji could be so tender-loving.
************************
'First, the setting as well as the atmosphere is important. I think, instead of going to the restaurant, you should invite her home.'
'Home? But what about you? I mean you are staying here.'
'Don't freak my friend,' I said, patting him on his shoulders. 'I'll go and enjoy life on that night. I think we need to change the look of this place. What does Haruko like?'
'Haruko loves comics. She likes Slam Dunk, Shogan Pace etc.'
'Alright, tomorrow, we just go hunt for comics and shelves. She would be impressed. I think we need to get some new funiture too. But that would cost money.'
'Don't worry about that. Just do what ever you think will help me to impress her and encourage her to go out with me.'
'Okay. Let's get busy tomorrow morning!' I said excitedly. I shall do my best to help Tsukasa. Rui, I'm too busy to punish you. Just you wait, I'll get back at you!
