Forecast… Rainy

I was yawning as I sat down in my desk; Yosuke came smiling over to my desk. "So… how's your end of the bet coming?"

"I want out…" Yosuke's smile became evil, I wanted to punch him… though to be honest, I was still a little confused about yesterday. "Not because you won you prick… Because I don't want to feel like an asshole!"

"You can get out of it," I smiled until I noticed Yosuke still was smiling like an asshole. "When you win or lose!"

"I could tell Chie about it." It was my turn to be the asshole. "I think she'd kill us both, but I don't think you want that, right?"

"You really are as mad as a hatter!" Yosuke threw his hands up in the air, as if to say "I'm done!" "Fine! B-but only cause I don't want any casualties from this!"

Yosuke then sat down in his chair, the moment he hit the seat, my head hit my desk… I was awake for most of the night, my mind was going back a forth over if it was a good idea for us to be dating or not… I mean, I hadn't even known her for a month! I didn't think that anything could move that fast! Yet, I was happy that she said yes, happier than I've ever been which isn't that hard to beat mind you! Still, I was confused… I never really had a girlfriend before, yeah I tried but… well, you know the story. It always ended in my getting hurt, so I guess I was scared. It was way too much for me to think about!

My mind was still racing when I heard a familiar and exceptionally happy voice. "Are you okay Kreed?" I looked up and saw Chie was large smile on her face… to be honest; it didn't help with what I was thinking about right now. "You look tired…"

"I didn't get much sleep last night," I sighed, thankfully, one thing that wasn't on my mind was Will's Japanese lesson's, after all… Yukiko gave him a schedule of days that she would be able to come over, plus, if it was busy at the inn, she would give me a call. "H-hey, at lunch can I talk to you about something." I was having trouble making eye contact with her… I just realized yesterday, that even though they were brown, they were a lot easier for me to get lost in than any other color I had ever seen. Chie suddenly looked like she had been punched in the gut again… I felt so bad that I just let my head slam against my desk again.

Time Change: Early Morning to Lunch

I was on the roof of the school, sitting against the wall, letting the rain hit me felt good. It wasn't coming down too hard, which was a good thing, knowing King Moron… he'd kill me if I came into class soaking wet. My eyes were closed; I was letting the rain wash over me. Suddenly the rain stopped, yet I could still hear it; I could still hear it, though I finally opened my eyes when I felt someone against my side. When I opened my eyes, Chie was sitting next to me. Her face was the light pink color; she must have been embarrassed about to public display, even though there was no one nearby. Yet, she also looked scared… "You could have told me that you'd be on the roof…"

"Sorry," I sighed, I finally looked at her eyes. I sighed; I didn't really think that anyone really knew that we were dating yet. "I just wanted to be in the rain… I used to like the rain; the cold water dripping on my face always relaxed me. It was raining the day I decided to come to Inaba, traffic was busy with in a foot from me. If it wasn't raining that day… well I don't think you'd like it if your brand new boyfriend came to Inaba in a coffin…" I smiled, it was morbid, but… after you try to commit suicide, not many jokes can faze you.

Chie just looked away from me still; I had no idea why she was upset. Which surprised me when I saw a tear roll down her cheek, she started to sob. "You don't want to see me, don't you…?"

"What!?" I jumped to my feet, knocking Chie's umbrella out of her hand. She looked at me with fear in her eyes, she wasn't scared that I was going to hit her… "Why would you even THINK that!? God Chie! You have got to be kidding me!"

"Th-then…" Chie started to rub her eyes, she was having trouble talking through a few sobs… the rain was doing one hell of a job hiding her tears, if she had any. "W-why are you… we h-here…"

I looked at her with sadness in my eyes now, I gently grabbed her wrist. "Come one… I'll help you up."

Chie got to her feet still sobbing a bit; I brought her into a hug and held her tightly. I had no intention of letting go at that moment. "Chie Sotanaka… I have never met anyone as good as you! You faced down a whole gang of thugs for god's sake! To be damn near honest… I was worried that we were trying this too early…"

Chie wrapped her arms around me; we stood there in the rain for the moment until I pushed Chie away ever so slightly just so that I could see her face. She smiled up at me, well that made me smile as well. "If you ask me, it's just right!" Then the bell rang… oops, we didn't even get to eat! "C'mon Kreed, we should get back before King Moron gives us detention."

"Before that!" I quickly kissed Chie on her check and I smiled at her as we ran back to class, I realized at that moment that I just didn't give a damn if we moved a little fast, for once in my life I was happy!

Time Change: Lunchtime to Afternoon

It was everyone's least favorite time of day… King Moron's class! And now he was bitching about the next few days that we had off, some holiday called Golden Week, I'd have to ask what it was later… Still, he was in charge of the class, and he was bitching… like always. "I'm hearing a lot of chatter about Golden Week, but don't forget that first and foremost, you're students!" To be honest, I was surprised that he hadn't made a big deal out of me and Chie being a little wet when we came back into the class… though we did get some weird looks from Yu and Yosuke, Yukiko seemed to not even notice that we were wet, or smelled of rain… how does water have a scent at all… FUCK THE WORLD, that's how! Anyway! I turned to Chie and whispered in her ear.

"And just waiting to get his buck teeth out of our sight!" Chie tried not to laugh at my joke; Yosuke actually heard me and almost got all three of us in trouble when he actually laughed slightly. Yet King Moron was already ranting about the same subject still.

"Your duty is to study! You don't have time to fool around, alright!?" I was trying so hard not to crack up at that moment… yes King Moron, every single one of us only have sex on our minds! Dumbass! "Do not misunderstand what freedom means! It does not mean that you can live without taking responsibility! Even Pythagoras said, 'As soon as laws are necessary for men, they are no longer fit for freedom!'"

"Kinda like his teeth," I whispered to Chie again.

"What? Why?"

"Because," I smiled evilly. "They don't fit in his mouth, there for… King Moron is not fit for teeth!"

That's when both me and Chie both heard the dread eight letter word that would ruin the day for everyone! "Next order of business! Midterms are coming up next week! The results will be posted to humiliate low-scoring losers! If you don't want to be shamed, study hard! It's that simple! If you do well, who knows!? You may become a more popular cretin! And you know, popularity leads to intimacy!"

I lost interest the moment those words left his mouth, I wish I had a voice recorder for that exact moment in my life! That shit would be so popular on youtube! And who knows!? King Moron may have become more popular! And you know, popularity leads to… Nevermind, that shit is creepy to think about… MOVING ON!

Time Change: Afternoon to After School

Home

"Hey Yukiko!" I walked into the living room where Yukiko was teaching Will some more Japanese; Chie had come over to study for a bit. Yukiko looked up at me as I entered the kitchen and opened the fridge. "You want a soda…?"

"No thank you Kreed-san…" Yukiko turned back to Will; he was looking at me and smiled.

"I understood all of that!" I stopped, Will just spoke Japanese almost perfectly! "Wait… Holy shit! I can do it! Yukiko, you are an amazing teacher!"

"That and the Rosetta Stone you got a few days ago…" I smiled as I tossed Will a soda and sat back down next to Chie who had her books out, she looked like she was gonna pull her hair out. "Anyway! So, do you understand it yet…"

"No…" Chie almost slammed her head into the book. I put my hand under her head and pushed against it. "Who did you and Will-san learn this language when you were little!?"

"When you learn English," I pulled the book so that it was in between us, Chie unintentionally moved closer to me. I smiled and wrote down a few things. "All other languages are almost impossible to learn!"

Chie looked over the stuff that I wrote down and her jaw dropped! The sentence that she had spent the last half hour on finally made sense to her. Her shock turned to joy as she turned to me and almost threw her arms around me. I noticed that she did stop herself; I guess that she was still nervous about people knowing that we were going out. I was fine with that, after all… so was I! "Oh my god Kreed, thank you!"

"That's what I'm here for!" I saluted her and placed my left hand on my leg as I took a swing of my soda, I did feel a hand on top of mine, and Chie was still smiling at me. I guess just holding hands under a table for a mouth would work for me… After all, we did dive into this without thinking about it, still… I couldn't help but notice Will staring at Yukiko; this gave me an evil idea. "Speaking of which… Hey Will, you and Yukiko should hang out over Golden Week, after all… it'll get her out of the inn and you out of the house!"

Everyone in the house gave me a weird look; I was smiling like a mad man at that moment. Will and Yukiko looked at each other. "Hell, maybe the four of us can hang out someone!"

"Oh!" Chie kinda understood what I was doing, kinda… but still, not a bad thing. "We could go to Okina City!"

I didn't really notice what everyone else was saying when I heard a knock on the door. I was confused at first, yet Will walked up to the door with me. "Dude, what are you trying to do!?"

"Nothing," I smiled at Will, to be honest, I never meant for it to go as far as it did… still. Yukiko and Chie were talking about where they should go to shop in Okina city, I heard something about a movie that just came out on DVD. I opened the door still looking at Will. "Hel-"

I was cut off by a smaller form knocking my to the ground, I was so confused as was everyone else in the house. I realized that I didn't really get tackled as much as it was that the person just fell on me… I looked at the form on top of me, the person had on a red hoodie with a skull design on the back… they also had on lightly colored blue jeans. I finally noticed who it was when I noticed the turquoise streek, in the brown head of shoulder length hair. "WHAT THE FUCK!? WHY ARE YOU HERE!? AND DON'T GIVE ME THE YOU CAN'T SPEAK JAPANESE BULLSHIT! I FOR A FACT THAT YOU KNOWAT LEAST FOUR LANGUAGES!"

The girl finally rolled off of me. "Nice to see you too, brother."
