Clueless
"Why do you smile so much?"
Risa Harada stared, confused, at the friend who had been walking beside her. Satoshi Hiwatari, who was the person who had just asked the previous question, stopped walking a few feet ahead of her. He looked back, confused himself at why she had ceased moving.
Risa blinked a few times, unsure of what to say. "I don't know... why do you always frown so much?"
Satoshi scowled. "I do not frown that much."
"You're doing it right now," Risa said, sticking out her tongue teasingly.
Satoshi's expression didn't change. He cleared his throat and shifted his weight from one foot to the other. "I don't know why I frown so much. Perhaps because that's the way I feel."
"You feel like frowning all the time?" Risa asked, a bit hurt.
"What? No! I mean... I don't know..." Satoshi was caught.
"Then I don't know why I smile all the time," Risa said. The two friends continued walking down the road. Sooner or later, Risa wondered why she was walking with Satoshi in the first place. "Umm... what are we doing?"
It was Satoshi's turn to blink. "I don't know... walking?"
"But why? I mean... why are we walking together?"
"I don't know."
"Are you walking me home?"
"Am I supposed to?"
Risa giggled. "You tell me."
Satoshi was annoyed, but he couldn't help but let a small smile slip onto his face. "I don't know."
Risa let out a full laugh this time. "Wow, Hiwatari-kun. For a genius, you're pretty clueless, aren't you?"
His smile grew. It was a soft... caring. "Around you, I suppose I am."
With that, he took Risa's hand in his, and continued to walk her home.
