Sorry if this update was a bit slow but I was a bit too lazy to update until today… GOMEN NE SAI! Ok, back to the story.

Pirika

Now it's 3 in the morning and I'm still awake and SO EXCITED!

Lemme recount what happened at the party.

It was… kinda formal, but informal, with all the "ballroom lights'' and everything as Onii-Chan called them. Anyway, I went in a white dress with blue trim that was a bit floaty and frilly. Anna wore a longer version of her traditional knock-them-dead black dress, and Tam was drop-dead-gorgeous in a pale pink dress that matched her hair. Jeanne was in this floaty sea-green-grey dress. All the guys went in suits and personally I think Ren looked the cutest. Onii-chan looked pretty good as well after I spent an hour trying to flatten his hair.

Come to think of it, I forgot to limit what onii-chan ate.

Heck about it anyway.

Anyway, we ate, drank and had a couple of dances and everything. Ren kept staying out of it and muttering to himself throughout though. The Onii-chan brought out the alcohol. Anna and Yoh each had a couple of drinks, while Onii-chan and Hao just gulped everything down like plain water. Sheesh. Even Tam had a couple of sips. Jeanne and I believed strictly that alcohol corrupts the mind, so we kept away. Ren… well, he never seems to drink ANYTHING. Apart from milk and water.

Then Tam blushingly said goodnight and went to her room. Onii-chan followed soon after. Hao offered to drive Jeanne back. Yoh pleaded for no training the next morning and Anna dragged him upstairs to lecture him. Since everyone was going, I just went to the balcony, and sat there where I had a good view of Hao's car. This is what happened:

some kind of argument between Jeanne and Hao

pause quietness

Hao: Jeanne, I love you.

Jeanne: Hao, you're drunk.

Hao: I'm not. Grabs Jeanne and kisses her passionately, open the car door and pushes her inside, still kissing

And the car didn't start up until at least five minutes later.

I wonder what they were doing the the c-

I HAVE SUCH A SICK MIND.

Come to think of it, Anna should have finished lecturing Yoh by the time Hao drove off, and all the time I didn't hear Yoh's door open or even her voice. Hmm….. what were they do-

SICK. MIND.

Anyway, here comes the exciting bit.

Ren walked into the balcony and sat beside me. I was enjoying his seemingly moving an inch or two closer to me. Then I remembered that girl.

And I started tearing. Ren saw, and he lifted up his hand to wipe away my tears.

I wailed, "Why are you so nice to me?"

Come to think of it, it sounded really cheesy and idiotic.

Anyway. He just leaned inwards, and.

Kissed me.

On the lips.

ME!

Basically, for the next ten minutes or so, we just kissed. He put his arm around me. Then a light went on in the living room and we stopped. Onii-chan called my name so I went to the living room. He said, "I'm going for a walk, sleep early!"

"But onii-chan!" I protested. "It's one in the-" He slammed the door before I could say "morning". I went back to the balcony, and saw onii-chan and Tam walking hand in hand. I giggled and we spent some time talking about them.

Oh, and I interrogated onii-chan after he got back, and he told me, yes he did kiss Tam and yes, he was in Tam's room after he walked out of the party.

Anyway, Ren had his arm around me and I was leaning on his shoulder. He saw me yawn and said, "You better go to sleep." So I smacked him on the head playfully and went upstairs. Before I went into my room, Ren walked by, said goonight and kissed me again.

TODAY MUST BE THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE!
