Chapter 4. Failing Algebra class + working in a cafe Time with Ryou
Retasu looked at her watch as her mother drove her to Ryou's house.
Then her mother pulled over on the house they stopped by yesterday.
"We're here, honey!" her mother said cheerfully.
Retasu thanked her mom and stepped out of the car.
She took a deep breath and knocked on her door.
"Hey Retasu, I didn't expect you to come... (Ryou looks at his watch) 15 minutes earlier."
Retasu smiled.
"Hehe..."
"Come in . " Ryou said as he welcomed her in.
Retasu looked around .
"Nice house Ryou."
"My aunt wants the house to look rich."
Retasu giggled.
"So want something to eat? Something to drink?" Ryou offered as he opened the refrigerator .
"No.. it's okay" Retasu shook her head.
"Have it. You an drink it later if you like." Ryou smiled as he tossed her a bottle of Gatorade.
"Arigato.." Retasu smiled.
"Ahh.. gomen... I made you wait. Lets go up." Ryou said leading Retasu up to his room .
His room was so simple .
Retasu sat down and looked around.
Ryou pulled a chair and sat down.
Ryou began teaching her everything she needed to know. He gave her a few exercises.
Then suddenly 'BANG BANG BANG!'
It sounded like the drums.
A vein popped out of Ryou's head.
"Wait here Retasu." he said.
Ryou went out of the room.
Retasu didn't know what was going on outside but for sure she heard alot of "Shut up!"s and shouts like "AAH!" or "KYAA!" or "WAA!"
Then suddenly it quieted down.
Ryou went back into he room and sighed.
"Now where were we.." Ryou smiled.
"Umm... Ryou? Who was that?"
"My cousins."
Retasu giggled.
Ryou sat back down but before he could start speaking he heard the noise again.
Retasu couldn't help but gave a little giggle.
Two veins popped out and he stood up again but he stopped half way.
"You know what Retasu?"
"..."
"Let's just get out of here. I don't want to waste my voice!"
"Ummm... yeah...sure."
Ryou smiled as Retasu started packing her things.
"Here... let me bring that." Ryou offered.
"There's no need to do that." Retasu smiled as she took back her book.
"Let's go." Ryou held Retasu's hand and ran out of his house, away from dumb and dumber and dumerer (which were his cousins.)
Ryou offered to go to a nearby cafe.
They sat down and continued their studies. Retasu learned alot.
2 hours later.
Ryou closed the book because they were done for today.
"Hey Retasu, let's have fun.."
" ..." Retasu said nothing
"I mean.. we've been studying all day, let's take a break. " Ryou smiled.
Retasu blushed and nodded .
"Sure..." Retasu smiled.
Ryou and Retasu spent their day in the arcade.
With the tickets they won, they got themselves new cellphones.
Ryou treated Retasu lunch and dinner (they played until night time)(?)
At 12:00 a.m Retasu and Ryou found themselves outside a park, sitting on a bench near the vending machine.
"Hey, I had a great day. Did you?" Ryou asked nicely to Retasu.
"Yeah I did.." Retasu said.
Retasu found her face so close to Ryou's face.
His eyes were looking into hers deeply.
Retasu blushed.
"R-Ryou?" Retasu asked.
Ryou put a hand on her cheek and said to her "Retasu, shut up."
They closed their eyes and shared a kiss.
Ryou broke the kiss with a smile.
And unlike all the peppy, flirty girls, Retasu didn't cry but instead smiled and hugged Ryou.
"Can we go on another date tomorrow?" Retasu asked.
"We can have a date everyday, if you want." Ryou said.
Retasu blushed as she saw the sweet smile on Ryou's face.
"Let's meet here Retasu?" Ryou asked
"Yeah, sure. I'd love to. Can we skip algebra tomorrow?"
"Sure." Ryou smiled.
"So... we'd better get going. Can you go home alone or should I go with you?"
"No it's okay I can go home alone."
"Sure?"
"Yeah I'm sure " Retasu nodded and blushed.
"Oh, okay. Ja-ne!" Ryou waved and he was off.
Retasu sat on the bench and hugged her algebra book and blushed thinking about no body else but Ryou.
