The next day, Riko was cycling to school gleefully. She was thinking about the match she played with Rukawa yesterday.
"Wait till Aya hears about this."
Rukawa's POV
I came out of my house to get my bicycle when I saw Riko at her front gate getting on her bicycle. I glanced at my watch. Six minutes till bell ring, I'll make it.
I cycle behind her however, she did not seem to notice me. Slowly I began to fell asleep on my bicycle.
"Look out! Kae…!" a shout rang out.
Too late.
"Crash"
I found myself collided into a lamppost, pretty soon, I was seeing stars.
"Daijoubu?"
Riko's POV
I looked behind and noticed Kaede-kun cycling behind me, astonishingly, he was sleeping!
"Look out! Kae…!" I called out, but it was too late. He probably did not notice it till he hit the lamppost.
"Daijoubu?" I hear myself say.
I tried to hold him up as he seems to be in a dizzy mode. He looked up and blinked a few times before acknowledging me.
"Ah…drawing girl…" he said.
I drop him instantly.
He groaned in pain when his butt hit the concrete floor.
"What did you call me?" I exclaimed.
Rukawa's POV
I looked up and saw a blurred version of Riko. I blinked a little before greeting her.
"Ah…drawing girl…"
That was when I regretted it.
She dropped me with a 'thud' on the ground leaving me to groan in agony.
Nevertheless, she had a guilty look on her face as soon as I hit the ground. She managed to mutter 'Gomen', before helping me up. I was hoping that she will not let me fall again.
There was silence as she picked my bicycle and hand it to me. For awhile I thought she was mad at me for calling her 'drawing girl'.
"Look at you now, all mess up." I heard her utter.
I stared blankly at her, speechless.(as always)
"Serves you right, for sleeping on your bike and calling me names!" her voice began to deepen which sounds so authoritative-liked manner.
I kept quiet as I mounted on my bicycle and start to cycle towards school.
"Oi! Did you even listen to what I said! Kitsune!"
I stopped cycle and turn my back.
Riko's POV
I watch him mount on his bicyle and begin to cycle towards school. I could feel my head burning with anger. "Did he even listen?" I shouted mentally in my mind.
"Oi! Did you even listen to what I said! Kitsune!" clenching my fist.
I learnt that 'kitsune' word from the red headed guy at the basketball practice yesterday.
Surprisingly, he stopped and turn to face me.
I gasped. Is he mad?
"School starts in 2 minutes." He muttered loud enough for me to hear.
I was dumbstrucked. Two minutes! Shit! I can't be let for school!
I grabbed my bicycle and began cycling crazily to school.
Rukawa's POV
I gaped at her as she began to cycle to school in a rather fanatical way. She might hit into something this way.
"Ah…" I sign.
I cycle slowly to school for I knew I will never make it.
"ZZZzzz…"
Riko's POV
Fortunately, my teacher has not entered the classroom yet. I sat down to catch my breath, as Aya was bombarding me with questions. I shook my head and told her that I'll answer her questions during break.
"What happen? You can tell me now?" Aya insisted.
Just then the teacher walked in, in one of his crappy mood, which finally made Aya settle down.
At that moment, I remembered Kaede-kun. I wonder if he manages to make it on time.
