Confessions
"You can start by saying you love me". Catherine said with excitement
"Uh…no… that's not what I wanted to tell you". Takeru answered
"The answer is yes". She said happily
"Yes, what?"
"I love you too and want to be with you"
"No that's not… I wanted to…"
He couldn't finish
"Takeru we need to rush to P.E" Ken said firmly
"I'm talking to Catherine, can't you see?"
"You can't be late; Coach Jones is going to kill you".
"This is way more important than Coach Jones"
Ken leaves disappointed.
"Well…the thing is… the letter Ken gave you yesterday… it wasn't for you"
"What?" Her happy face soon changed into a serious one.
"It was a huge confusion I told him to give it to a friend, but he misunderstood and gave it to you".
"You are so evil; I can't believe I had a crush on you". She said as she start crying.
"I'm sorry I didn't do it on purpose"
"Yeah sure"
Catherine ran away crying hard.
"I'm sorry". He shouted
P.E
"Ken, I feel awful, Catherine, she's devastated"
"I'm sorry it's all my fault, I'll apologize to her, explain her what happened"
"I already did that and I feel so bad".
"You shouldn't, it was my fault"
"But I could have told her sooner".
"Ladies stop gossiping" The coach said. "Basketball season is about to start and you need training".
Takeru loved basketball more than anything, except for Hikari of course; but for some reason he wasn't as happy as he always was when basketball season was close.
"Now, Mr. Takaishi, show us some of your moves".
Takeru got up and did what he always does shootingfrom metersof the basket, but he didn't score. He tried again, but nothing
"Sit down". The coach said angrily.
"What? Takeru Takaishi, player of the year didn't score?" Ken said in a sarcastic tone.
"Screw you"
"I'm just kidding. What's wrong?"
"I don't know, this whole Catherine stuff; I can't concentrate".
The bell rang…
The boys went to get changed, on the way, Takeru found Hikari.
"You have classes with Catherine, don't you?"
"Yes"
"Would you happen to know where she is?"
"She went home; she wasn't feeling well; she seemed a little depressed,Why?"
"She's the girl I told you about".
"You told her didn't you?"
"Yes, I'm worried she is really sad, it's all my fault".
"No, It's not, you did the best thing you could, If you waited more she would feel worse".
"I know, but if I had given the letter myself this wouldn't have happened".
"Everything happens for a reason".
"You always say that".
"Takeru I'm moving to the States. My father has been transferred there".
"What? No, don't go, I need you here. The basketball finals are next week I need your support. And we had plans, remember?"
"I don't want to go either, I mean, my friends are here, you are here. But everything happens for a reason; maybe this can make our friendship stronger".
"Maybe". He said
"How can our friendship become stronger if she is not here?"Takeru thought.
"I will miss you Hika".
"Me too. Promise to write ok?"
"Sure".
A year had pass and they sent mails and talkedon the phonealmost every day. And somehow their friendship was becoming stronger.
Takeru was watching TV when the bell rang. He turned the TV off and went to open the door.
"Hikari!" he said given her a hug. "You are back"
"Yes, and to stay". She said excited.
"I'm glad you went away". He said.
"Thanks". She said in a sarcastic and sad voice.
"No, I mean I'm glad you went away because now we are more close".
"See, I told you everything happens for a reason"
"You got the letter back, right?"
"Damn". He exclaim annoyed. "I knew I was forgetting about something, now I'll have to go to her place to get it back".
"I can go with you, If you want".
"Thanks, but I have to do this on my own".
"Well, then see you at lunch time. I have art". She said happy.
"And I have me favorite class". He said in a sarcastic tone.
Art class...
"Your assignment is to make a portrait.You are to have ready for next month. You can start now".
Hikari grab a pencil and started drawing a face.
"That boy looks familiar Mrs. Yagami, isn't he your boyfriend?"
"No, he is my best friend". She said disappointed
"Nice, keep going".
Chemistry...
T"oday we are going to learn about the Radioactivity, you are to take notes".
The teacher started talking. Takeru hated chemistry more than anything and wasn't paying attention. Instead he started writing Hikari and drawing hearts all over a paper.
"Nice note taking Mr. Takaishi, why don't you give me that and start paying attention because your grades aren't good at all".
"Sorry Sir".
Lunch time
"Where is he?"Hikari thought. "I was finally going to tell him how I feel about him, but his not here. Maybe it's because now is not the time".
10 minutes later…
"Sorry for being late".Takeru exclaimed. "Mr. McSporran made me stay in class for not paying attention. He told me I need to improve my grades or else he'll talk to coach Jones and tell him to kick out from the team".
"No way! I'm not good at chemistry either, but if you want we can study together".
"Alright, thanks Hika you are the best".
The day was finally of.
"Are you coming to my place?"
"Yes, but after going to Catherine's".
"See you later then".
Catherine's...
Takeru took a deep breath and ring the bell.
"Yes?" a man with a serious voice answered.
"Is Catherine home?"
"She is".
"Can I come in?"
"Yes".
I see, you change your mind. She said kissing Takeru. But he pushes her away.
"No!"
"Then, what did you came for?"
"I need the letter, please give it back".
"Why would I?"
"Please just give it to me". He said firmly.
"Ok, but with one condition… kiss me".
"No way"
"I'll keep it then?"
"You call m evil for something I didn't do on purpose, and now your acting evil".
I" don't even know why I came here, it was a waste of time, I knew you wouldn't give it back. Bye". He said firmly and serious.
"Wait!... Take it."
"Thanks". He said and leaves.
Hikari's apartment…
"What took you so long?"
"She wouldn't give it back".
"Really? if you want I can talk to her and convince her of giving it to you".
"No, she gave it to me".
"But you just told me that… Anyway, should we study?"
"Yeah sure".
"Radioactivity, right?"
Takeru nodded and they open their books and start reading.
"I almost forgot". Takeru said. "I have something for you".
He handled the letter to her.
Hikari opens the letter and starts reading it.
