Chihiro let go of the kiss when she heard the school bell ring. It was time to go home. She remembered that when she did not go home 5 minutes after the bus had dropped her off; her mother will send her to the 18th level of hell that my friend made. (A/N: Are the 7 or 18 levels of hell?)
Chihiro turned around and saw the school bus. She quickly ran to it as she shouted to Kohaku that was left behind her "I'm sorry Kohaku! I need to go now! I'll see you the next time we meet!" and went up the school bus. Before she lifted herself to climb the steps, she looked to where she left Kohaku. He was still there, seeing her off. She waved to him and went up the bus.
She sat on her normal seat: the back of the bus, next to the window. She took out her book and told herself to come back to reality. Kohaku is a spirit and she is just a mortal and no one can change the way they are. She thought far more than she could not believe that both of them can actually be together. Chihiro shook those thoughts out of head, took out her textbooks and studied for the upcoming examinations.
She flipped through the pages and found put something she did not bother to even find out. She noticed that the glass pieces in her flesh were all gone. No trace of scars or bruises or any trace of blood.
Kohaku, you really didn't have to heal me...
More people filled up the seats of the bus and Wei yi, Jerome, Elisabeth and more people from her class came in, all staring at Chihiro before they took their seats. Surprisingly, Wei yi did not sit on his usual seat. He sat next to her. He finally had the courage to sit with her. All these years, he had always wanted to sit with her and even talk to her. But he was too scared that his friends might laugh at him or even bully him like how they bullied her.
Chihiro looked up at him with a confused look and asked "why are you sitting here?"
"Why can't I sit here? It's not a crime right?" Wei yi replied as he smiled at her.
Chihiro smiled back as she continued to read her textbook. Wei yi saw what she was doing and tried to bring her back to what happened earlier on. But he was not that into it. He will take it slowly and question her like he was some journalist who wants the inside details. But not that personal, not that deep but just asking questions that did not really relate to what had happened earlier on.
"Chihiro, do you know what hurts me the most?" Wei yi started the topic. Chihiro closed her textbook and looked at him quizzically.
"When you don't remember the one's that are close to you" Chihiro raised an eyebrow and asked in a 'what are you talking about' tone "may I ask what are you like talking about? And what's with that I don't remember the one's that are close to me? Of course I remember!"
Wei yi looked down and scoffed "so, you tell me that you don't remember who your childhood friends are? Not even your best friend?" Chihiro thought for a while but-no clue! She did not know what he was talking about.
"No clue what you're talking about" Chihiro said.
"I have given you a lot of clues. He was in your pre-school and he left at that time. Do you remember now?" Chihiro looked at his face for concentration until she finally 'figured out'
"I remember his face but I don't remember the name. But…" she paused and looked closely to him "Wei yi? You're…you… what? You! And me…and what! Wei yi!" she jumped on him and gave him a hug. "Wei yi! I missed you so much! You mean you moved to this town?"
Wei yi nodded as he gave her a 'how could you' look "you mean you just noticed?"
"Hey. I'm sorry alright? Well, at least we could meet after all those years." Chihiro said as she tried to cheer him up.
"No, no, no it's alright. And yeah, at least we finally met." Wei yi said as he smiled and waved both of his hands energetically to her to tell her that it was okay.
Moments later…
"Well, this is my stop! See you tomorrow!" Chihiro said good-bye to him as she waved to him with a cheerful smile on her face. "Yeah. See ya'!" he replied.
"Chihiro, I'll never give up until the day comes…" Wei yi said to himself as he looked at the picture he and Chihiro took together when they were in class, after the exams when it was lunch break (A/N: they did it during lunch break so that no one could see them together. You know how Wei yi feels about his cool.)
I know it's short but just stick to it…
