Okay so I'm sorry it took a little bit longer for this chapter to come out. Had a bit of writers block and internet when out for a few day. I was also battling with my depression. I hope the ones reading this are enjoying it. Feel free to comment, leave advice.
Today in first period on the second day of school after Mr. Langsonts lecture, there was a few minutes before the bell rang for second period. So Langston just let us talk quietly during class. Eddward and Kiyoshi were talking the comments on Eddys picture her posted of the two of them on Facebook. Especially the comment Kevin posted.
"Well now at least Kevin is off your back, Kiyoshi." Edd spoke in a soft whisper, Kevin and Nazz were in the next column of desks in the row of desks behind Kiyoshis.
"Yes, it would seem so. Thank you for talking to him. I really dislike they hated me my first day here..." Kiyoshi let out a hushed sigh. Hearing the bell ring ever one in the class room picks up their bags and head out the door towards their second period.
"I'll see you later, Kiyoshi." Edd waved and headed the opposite direction from where Kiyoshi was going. Kiyoshi just nodded and headed to her locker getting her book for her next class.
She stepped inside the class room and made her way to her seat, pulling out a book and started reading waiting for class to start. From the corner of her eye she notices three faces walking towards her. One was familiar. Blonde. Pretty face. Blue eyes. Nazz. She stopped and stood in front of Kiyoshis desk and bent down to make eye contact with Kiyoshi who sighed and closed her book too look up to see the rather frustrated teen girls surrounding her desk. On of the other girls started speaking to me.
"Look we come here today to tell you to stay away from our friends." She had brown hair and brown eyes. Before Kiyoshi could even get a word out a males voice boomed from behind them startling the girls.
"I said MOVE! You are blocking my desk!" The girls including Nazz went to their seats. Kiyoshi looked up and seen a taller boy with dark brown hair and green eyes. It was Kody "What were those girls telling you Kiyoshi?" He looked at her taking his seat with a concerned look creeping on to his face.
"Well the girl with the brown hair said, I needed to stay away from their friends." Kiyoshi looked at him and waved her hand. "It's no big deal though. They don't scare me." She looked over at him and smiled, his concerned face then melted away.
Second period went by rather quickly the lecture was short then the teacher told us we could work by themselves or get in a group of two or three, to work on a History worksheet. Kiyoshi and Kody moved their desks together working on it till the bell rang. Packing their stuff into their bags and walked to their lockers which they found out where only a few lockers away. Kody walked over towards Kiyoshi after getting his book.
"So can we walk together to our next class?" He looked down at her. She looked up and smiled nodding happily. Kody looked up as he seen a teacher he didn't like walk up behind Kiyoshi. Pretending he didn't see the teacher he placed an arm around Kiyoshis shoulders and lead her to their next class. "Are you going to sit with the Eds again at lunch today?" Kiyoshi looked up at him, slightly blushing from his arm around her shoulders.
"If they don't mind. Yes I will be." She looks a head of them as they walk towards their next class.
"I'm sure they'll love you sitting with them. I'm going to sit wit them as well." He looked down to Kiyoshi and grinned.
As they walked into the classroom he took his arm from around her shoulder and walked to their desks, her desk was in front of his.
They both looked up to the door to see Kevin walk through it. He looked over at Kiyoshi and made his way to his desk that was right be side hers. Kody watched Kevin as he turned to face Kiyoshi.
"Hey, I'm sorry about what I did the yesterday, I'm also sorry for what Nazz said on Facebook." Kevin glanced at her then glanced away.
"It's okay for what you did. However you can not apologize for you friend. She'll do that on her own." She looked at him and let out a soft sigh.
"Well Kevin, Nazz and her two best friends told Kiyoshi to stay away from their friends." Kodys low tone made Kevin to look at him quickly.
"Really? They said that?" His hand went to his forehead and he pressed his thumb and his middle finger to his temples. "I'll talk to Nazz and her friends."
"Not to be rude, Kevin, I don't think they will listen to reason." Kiyoshis voice was soft. "If they want to fight, then I'll fight."
"Kiyoshi that's crazy! You can't fight all three of them!" Kody and Kevin raised their voices slightly, still remaining quiet. She just giggled softly, a slow grin spread across her face.
Class had begun and the teacher began her lecture, she wrote notes on the board. She then turned and looked at the class and smiled as everyone looked to the blackboard and jotted notes down in their notebooks. Then she told the class to get out their English books and turn to a certain page, if they had come across a vocabulary word they were to write it and its definition or definitions as we read a story. She walked over to each column of desks and handed out a work sheet that had questions about the story.
"This will be your homework for tonight if you don't get it done in class." Her soft voice, yet firm. "Bring it in next time." After finishing her sentence there was a light knock on the door. She walked over to the door and stepped outside into the hallway. A few minutes later she walked back into the room with Mr. Brown, he eyed Kiyoshi and walked over the the group of three.
"Kiyoshi, come to the pool, I need to get your times." Mr. Brown looked at her as he bent down eye level to the sitting teen girl.
"Coach, can't it wait till swim class? She's helping us at the moment?" Kody interjected before Kiyoshi could say anything. Kody looked at Brown noticing his eyes weren't moving from the girl sitting in front of him. He could understand why. She was beautiful. Black hair, dark blue eyes. Being snapped from his thoughts he noticed the dark blue eyes were staring into his dark green eyes. Flustered slightly her turned to look at Brown.
"Okay it can wait till then." He stood slowly leaned over and whispered something into Kiyoshis ear. Which sent a wave of anger through Kodys body. He watched Brown leave the room, clenching his fists tightly, so tight in fact his knuckles where turning white.
"Yo, Kody, dude, what's wrong." Kevins voice snapped Kody back into reality.
"I don't like that man..." Turning towards Kiyoshi looking at her noticing her slightly creeped out expression, which melted away once she noticed the two looking at her. "What did he whisper in your ear?" Kody tried his best not to sound pissed as the scene replayed in his head.
"H-He said if I don't have good times, there is something 'special' I can do to make up for it." Her body shivered at the thought.
"Wait...I'm confused. Why do you not like that guy, Kody?" Kevin looked between Kody and Kiyoshi with a puzzled expression.
"Did you not see the way he was looking at Kiyoshi?" Kodys gaze found its way to Kiyoshi. "Everything about his says "Creep". From watching him, I don't think he has made any moves towards any of the girls. For some reason though watching him, it looks like he is having a hard time trying to keep his hands away from Kiyoshi." Kody looked down at the desk, before anyone else could say anything the teacher spoke.
"Okay class please fix the desks the bell is about to ring. Have a wonderful lunch and rest of the day." Everyone in the room started fixing the desks as they were before they were all moved. Kiyoshi, Kody and Kevin, just had gotten their stuff into their school bags when the bell rang.
"Kiyoshi and I are going to sit with the Eds. So, see you later Kev. Have a good day." Kody said, Kevin just nodded. Kody and Kiyoshi headed to the cafeteria and sat their bags down under the table. Kiyoshi had just sat down and pulled out a square box. Kody stopped and looked at the box. "Kiyoshi, what is that?" He asked looking confused.
"If I'm not mistaken that is a bento box. A Japanese lunch box." Eddward said as he sat down next to Kiyoshi. Kiyoshi looked at him and smiled. Kody had a strange feeling come over him, as he looked at the too talking to each other.
"Yes, it is a bento box." Kiyoshi looked at Eddward very pleased. Kody gotten up quickly and walked in frustration to get him some lunch. Getting in line he sighed feeling very confused. 'Why am I getting so upset seeing Edd smile at her...?' More thought had come to mind. 'Does he like her? Does she like him? Ughh, why do I care so much?' He snapped out of his thoughts hearing someone clearing their throat. He looked back to see Kevin.
"Dude, keep walking you are holding up the line." Kevin grinned and continued talking as Kody started moving further. "What's up? It's rare to see you like this."
"Oh, sorry, I was deep in thought." Kody sighed softly. "I don't know what's wrong with me. This feeling I have in my chest is new to me. I'm upset, angry, and want to punch someone in the face." He walked out and stood after getting his lunch to finish talking to Kevin.
"Hm, sounds to me you are jealous of someone one or something. I felt that feeling since the first day of school." Kevin sighed looking at the Eds table from the corner of his eye. "Although I'm surprised I thought you were gay all this time." Kevin laughed but continued. "You turned down all the girls that asked you out or confessed their feelings to you."
"I'm not gay." Kody laughed. "I find women very attractive. I just wasn't interested in the ones that come to me. There's this one girl though. She... is amazing. I find it odd myself that I didn't go for any of the others. I guess I knew how they all were. This girl though is...unique. She is a mystery to me. If only I knew how to get her to talk to me more, and to hang out with her." Kody sighed and looked towards the Eds table seeing Kiyoshi laugh with Eddy, and the big lug Ed. Hell even Edd was laughing behind his hand. "I want to be the one that makes her laugh like that, to make her smile, to make her feel safe."
"Whoa, wait, you like her?" Kevin looked at him rather shocked. "I wouldn't of guessed you liked her."
"She's unique like I said. She's talented. I have her in Theater. She's even on the swim team." Kody stopped to look at Kevin. "Don't tell anyone...Or else." Kodys eyes narrowed at Kevin. Kevin just nodded grinning. They split ways and headed to their table of friends.
Looking up seeing from his walking tread as he neared the Ed table, he seen Kiyoshi look at him and smile softly. Kody looked away, taking a slow deep breath, calming his racing heart, too keep a blush from growing on his cheeks. 'Gahh, why does she have to be so cute.' He thought to himself. He sat his tray down on the table next to Kiyoshi's bento box which looked like she hasn't eaten much of it.
"Kiyoshi are you not going to eat your food?" Kody said and looked up at her. She looked at her bento box then to Kody.
"I made to much." She gigged softly rubbing the back of her head, which was kinda cute. Especially the big sheepish grin she had on her face.
"I've been quite curious about Japanese delicacies, mind if I try something Kiyoshi?" Eddward spoke and she looked over at him smiling brightly and nodded. He picked up a rice ball. "So this is a rice ball, what is it called in Japanese?" The look in his eyes grew quite curious as he looked at Kiyoshi.
"Onigiri. In Japan we put things into our onigiri such as; grilled salmon, pickled plums, beef, pork, turkey, or tuna with mayonnaise. All actually quite delicious. Although I don't know what is inside that one." She giggled nervously. Eddward shrugged and placed some of it in his mouth. His eyes widened in delight.
"That's delicious. Tastes like BBQ pork." He said after swallowing the bite he took. "Will you make me some tomorrow?" He asked with an unusual excitement. Kiyoshi nodded happily answering his question. Ed, Eddy, and Kody looked at Eddward once they noticed the excitement he held in his voice they all thought. 'That's strange, seeing him excited about something...'
"Can I try one too?" Kody said and gently tapped her hand with his index finger. Kiyoshi looked at him and nodded happily. He was feeling kind of nervous thinking about they can put all types of ingredients in the onigiri. He took a deep breath and picked one up and took a bite out of it. Taken back at the wonderful taste in his mouth. 'What is this?' He thought and looked at the onigiri, it looked like tuna with mayonnaise. "Is this tuna and mayonnaise?" Kody said and looked up to Kiyoshi.
"That's right!" She said happily then Eddy looked at the bento box and took the other rice ball.
"This one is just plain but its still good." Eddy chuckled.
"I'll make more for everyone tomorrow. How does that sound?" Kiyoshi smiled then looked over to Kody. "Oh Kody you have some on your face." She took a napkin that was on the table and wiped the tuna and mayonnaise that he had on his cheek next to the corner of his mouth.
"Ah, uh, th-thank you, Kiyoshi." There was no breathing that could be done to stop the blush growing in his cheeks. Eddy and Eddward both started to laugh and poking fun at his blushing.
"You're welcome Kody." She smiled and looked at the clock on her phone and began to close her bento box and placed into her school bag. "Tomorrow I wont tell you which onigiri is which I want you to try them all." She giggled and smiled at the three that tried the onigiri.
The bell rang for the students to get to their next class. Kody looked up to Kiyoshi and smiled. "Ready for theater, Kiyoshi?" Kiyoshi looked over to him and smiled brightly.
"I am." Kiyoshi and Kody stood up and threw their trash away and walked to theater. On the way to theater, they caught sight of Nazz and her friends looking towards Kiyoshi.
