Konnichiwa minna~! :D It's me with a new pen name (due to some reasons)! :D How are you? :D Here's the new update!
Note: I do not own Lovely Complex. It belongs to Aya Nakahara-sensei.
CHAPTER 7: FIRST STEP
The comedy duo ran very fast to Maido High, because they were LATE! Koizumi Risa was late because she played video games last night, whilst Otani Atsushi was busy listening to his favourite songs. They ran and ran until they met at the entrance.
"YOU!" they shouted along with their heavy breathing. "You are late, Idiot!" again they said. They paused a bit and launched another synchronized remark, "Don't say I'm late because you are late too, baka!"
Otani ran his hand through his hair. "I should not waste my time with you, amazon!" He ran towards their classroom.
"I'm saying the same, shrimp!" Koizumi retorted and followed him. They opened the door and shouted, "Gomen, sensei! I'm late!" After a series of heavy breathing, they heard the applauses from their classmates. "You are not late, comedy duo, sensei is not here yet!"
"Huh?" was their genius reply.
"Ne, ne, you came to school together?" one of their curious classmates asked excitedly.
"That's ridiculous!" The pair answered. "It is just a coincidence! Believe me!"
"Kawaii, they synchronized!" their female classmate commented.
Koizumi turned to Otani. "Do not copy what I'm saying dwarf!"
"Who says I'm copying you, aho!"
"You make our mornings interesting, All Hanshin Kyojin," Nakano-sensei stepped in the classroom. "But I want to start my class now." He said playfully.
"We are not making the mornings interesting!" They wailed.
...…..
"Class, dismiss." Nakano-sensei finally said and went to teacher's office.
"Yosh! I'll approach Suzuki – kun!" Koizumi said with determination. She turned her head to Suzuki. "Suzuki-kun, thank you for lending me your notes. It is really helpful." She then handed his notebook.
"You are welcome, Koizumi-san."
"Ah! As a sign of my gratitude. I'll treat you to the canteen!" She said cheerfully.
"It's okay, Koizumi-san. Do not go to that extent."
"I insist. Come!" She pulled him towards the canteen. Everything is going smoothly!
"Tanaka-san! I'll help you!" Otani offered his hands to carry the heavy books carried by Chiharu.
"A-h i-it's o-okay, O-Otan-ii k-k-kunn.. I c-can ma-manage.." She stammered.
"It's not okay since you are a girl." He said as he stacked the books Chiharu was holding to his arms. She faced Chiharu, "I know you are afraid of boys. But not all boys are scary. You just have to know them better. ." He smiled.
"Y-you t-think s-so?" She said doubtfully.
"Yes! Do you think I'm scary?"
She shook her head several times.
"That's great! I'm willing to help you encounter your fears on boys! Trust me!" Otani said encouragingly.
For the first time, she smiled in front of a male she hadn't known so much, "Yeah!"
…...
Days passed and the determined small spring and big valley continued to be friend their love interests. It seems that things are going smoothly.
"Guys, I bring Suzuki-kun and - what are you doing here midget?!" Koizumi bursted.
"What? I'm invited with Nakao here!" Plus, Chiharu-chan is here.
"Calm down Risa," Nobu inserted, "I invited my darling to have lunch. It's good thing, right? The more the merrier!"
"Okay," she sighed.
"Hello, Suzuki-kun!" Nakao greeted him.
"Hi." was his only reply.
Girls were seated with each other. Boys did the same. They were eating their lunch and talking at the same time. They were silenced by a phone ringing.
"Yo~! You have a message!"
"Risa, you have a text." Nobu informed.
Risa picked up the phone. "Weird, I don't have a text."
"That is mine." Otani said as he read the text. "It's my mother, saying I'll buy something in the convenience store."
"Wait!" Risa rose up, facing Otani, who is infront of her. "You are an Umibozu fan too?" She sparkled.
"Yes, yes, I'm his fan. Wait, 'too'? You love Umibozu?" He asked excitedly.
"I love him 'till I die." She said dreamily. "Did you hear his new song?"
"Yes,yes, that was the best! I heard he will be having a collaboration with a famous singer!"
"REALLY? Sugoi na!" They held hands like a crazed fans do. Their friends were silenced and stunned with their behaviour. Nobu was first to recover. "Ara. Ara. You two are really alike, right, Darling?"
"Hai, Darling!" Nakao grinned. "You two have similar interest and attitude."
"Ne, you should try to go out. Let's see if the two of you will work out." Nobu added.
"Who is dating who? No way!" The duo shouted.
"See, even they talk they are in perfect timing!" Nakao teased.
"And you both love Umibozu!" Nobu pointed out.
"I think so to." Chiharu added.
"Me too." Suzuki supplied.
"That's just a coincidence!" They said again, "Don't copy me!" again in perfect sync. "Argh!"
"Anyway, lunch is over. Let's go." Otani changed the issue.
…...
Ding dong!
The class is over. Students rushed to go outside their rooms. Nobu and Nakao left earlier, while the always-fighting-each-other duo did their class rep duties. Otani break the silence.
"Oi, I never thought you are an Umibozu fan too."
"Me too. You know, my friends back at middle school laughed at me because I love his songs. They say I'm weird."
"Me too. Me too." He agreed. "Those are idiots. They can't figure how amazing he is." He nodded.
"Sou..sou.. They are idiots. I'm glad I met an Umibozu fan here in Maido High."
"Me too." Otani smiled. "I'm sorry if I treated you bad always."
"Haha. Me too. We should get along because we are just a few Umibozu fans here." Koizumi replied.
"Yeah. Okay," he coughed, changing his voice like he is introducing himself, "I'm Otani Atsushi, 16 years old."
Koizumi laughed at his gesture. "I'm Koizumi Risa, 16 years old." They shook their hands.
"Give me your number, Koizumi." Koizumi rose a beat when she heard that. "Doushite?"
"Of course, we should update each other if there's a news about Umibozu."
"Yes, that's right." What is this weird feeling? Koizumi wondered. On the other side of the building, a girl and a boy bumped with each other.
"Are you alright?" The male student asked.
"I'm okay. Oh, Suzuki-kun."
"Tanaka-san." Suzuki said in surprise. "You have many books. Where are you heading?"
"In the lib. I'll return them now." She said shyly.
"Here, let me help you." He offered.
Try your best Chiharu. Otani-kun assured not all boys are scary. "Sure, thanks."
And they walk together in the library quietly, while the two class reps of 1-C were laughing unceasingly.
Thank you to KatLuvGot7 for liking my story. :D
