We wondered around the town, just talking with no real topic. Pretty much what ever came to mind we talked about. She went over to the soda machine next to the railroad crossing. She ordered grape soda; she smiled at me with one of those weird smiles that you can't really put your finger on. I went to order the bitter kind and hesitated, then my hand wandered down the list and I ordered a regular drink. I thought to my self that I won't care for the past. Walking around town felt weird, not awkward at all, just weird. Like when you spend the day with a person that you've known for a long time but haven't seen in years. Except with Ninamori, the time that was lost between us, felt like it was only a couple of seconds. We went back to talking with each other like it was no big deal, just like we did before Haruka was here.
The sun was setting and she was still bringing up every little thing about absolutely nothing. I could not have cared less. "Hey Ninamori you wana grab something to eat, I mean we don't have to or…"
"thank god you finally asked Takun, I was getting really hungry, just though that you wanted to keep on talking." She stopped and looked at me, weird face again. "You looked so happy to be talking, I didn't want that to change." Bam. . . she really knows how to keep me talking and them loose all sense of words in a second.
I brought her to my place, neither of us have a job. Well she did but that thing broke the only delivery truck she had. And well im just a lazy kid. My dad wasn't home. Stupid perv is probably at some Ladies Inn. Man I remember that one time with Mami…forget it. I went down to the kitchen; there was bread all over. Dad must have recently left, the stove is still warm and you can smell the burnt bread. "Could he get any more dirty? Shit. Sorry about all of this mess Nina, my dad is a wreck without her around." That was bad to say. "Who's her, o are you talking about that pink haired crazy girl that was.. Takun are you ok" I was just standing there with the refrigerator wide open with my head down not moving. "What do you want to eat…"
"Im sorry Takun, I didn't know. Um… I guess ill have a thing of Ramen if you got any. "What size… we got small, medium…" "I'll have a small if that ok. They taste better than the large ones." Good choice.
As I put the Ramen in the microwave for two minutes, Ninamori asked if I was ever going to go back to school and see my friends again. I'm not sure if I can be welcome back at school. I mean everyone knew something happened I mean the frigin plant is moved. Its hard not to see that thing moved and not wonder what happened. I mean I've only skipped two days of school so far. And even the class rep. skipped class today. Now people have to start thinking something's has to be up with Naota and Ninamori. "I want to go back just to see my friends. I haven't been spending a lot of time with you guys have I?"
"No not really, I barely get to see you now Takun, You were always off doing something with that girl. I mean I don't want to sound jealous or anything… I'm just saying that I miss having you around to talk to."
She takes a strand of hair falling from her forehead and nervously pulls it behind her head and smiles while trying to hide her cheeks from blushing. Why don't girl realize that when you do that the guy would have to be very stupid not to pick up on that sort of thing. At least She never tried to hide things. Then again I never knew what was real with her.
"Ya, I'm sorry Nina, I was just caught up in things that I was doing at the time. I promise I will see you more often from now on ok?"
