CHAPTER 4
Hihi :D long awaited (I hope ) chapter 4 here! Sorry for not updating so long :) I was a little…caught up in other things.
Anyways
For those who noticed
I accidently changed to first-person in the second chapter, so really sorry for that I should be continuing with the third-person thing: it kinda matches the story more.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH MIZUKI, AKIMITSU TAKUTO AND SANO?!
I'll shut up now and let you read :)
Oh
Reminder:
Italicized: Mizuki's thoughts
Other than that
It should be fine^^
Chapter 4
The rain poured down, covering the ground with wetness. Hundreds Seika High students hurried out to their fancy cars, relishing in the comfortable dryness of the inside. Mizuki watched enviously as she waited under the covering of the front porch of the school. Despite her desperate attempts to cover herself with her umbrella, the rain somehow managed to pass by and get onto her hair, bag, and clothes, everything that can be reached. It was incredibly annoying.
She sighed for the third time and looked up to the sky, despairing in the pure darkness and emptiness. Doesn't look like its going to end anytime soon. I wonder if the whole of Japan is like that…A sudden thought occurred to her, lifting up her spirits by far. I think Sano might be off practice early! She hurriedly flipped out her cell phone and typed in his number with her inexperienced fingers. Even though she has a rather high-grade phone (given to her by Sano), the only cell phone numbers she really knew were those of Nakatsu's and Sano's.
Mizuki waited impatiently for him to pick up. Each ring seemed to last forever. Finally, a loud clack sounded, and Sano voice came through the receiver.
"Hello?"
"Sano!" Mizuki said cheerfully. "Are you done practice? Did you finish because its raining? Do you think you can come home early tonight?" she blushed at her last question.
He laughed. "Probably. I have to have a quick briefing though, for the next conference. I should be back home by 5:00pm. Do you want to go somewhere?" his voice softened.
Mizuki's blush deepened. "Ah! No, its okay. I just wanted to try cooking something for you," She hit herself mentally for her continuous stammering.
Sano sounded surprised, but he could not hide his pleasure at the remark. "Thanks. I'll try to come home as soon as possible."
"Okay!" She could barely contain her excitement. Flipping her phone shut, she dropped it safely into her bag and opened her umbrella up once again, hurrying towards the market, no longer caring about how wet she would get.
By the time she arrived at her neighborhood supermarket, she was completely soaked through, her school uniform dripping from the rain. Several shoppers looked up in pity, but Mizuki barely noticed those stares, hurrying along the aisles to find the best quality food and taking out her sodden wallet to inspect the amount of money she had. "Che," she muttered unhappily when she noticed the lacking amount. Sighing, she tore out of the shop and back towards her house, shivering and completely drenched. She unlocked the door and banged it open, ignoring the sound of the protest from the wall as the door knocked against it with the full force of Mizuki's strength. She kicked off her shoes and ran into the living, nearly slipping on a mat along the way. Throwing open the drawer, she dug her hand in, grasping desperately for something…
"Found it!" She beamed as she lifted up the month's pay from her work. Unable to restrain her excitement, she ran back out the door, got frustrated over the keys, and tore back down the stairs. The rain was still as heavy as it was before, falling from the dark clouds that hung in the sky. But to Mizuki, it was a blessing. She ran back to the mall, receiving more stares than before. She sped through the aisles, being careful but swift at the same time. It was as if she was possessed by a demon.
"Let's see…spaghetti…nah, too simple…steak! But a little expensive…" she mumbled, unsatisfied with her options. In the end, she settled with spaghetti and steak, with a variety of vegetables. Finally satisfied, she hurried to the counter and out back into the rain. Those with umbrellas watched her incredulously, others offering theirs to her as she tore past them.
A few minutes after, she was cooking with great care, all her ingredients and best spices out on the table. "A tablespoon of salt…tomatoes…" she mumbled absent-mindedly. Her body felt exhausted and her mind was light, but she barely noticed through all her excitement.
It didn't take long for her to finish cooking the meal, its sweet aroma barely registering in her fuzzy mind. Sitting down heavily, she leaned her head against the table, listening anxiously for the turning of the key, watching the time on her cell phone nervously.
Sano…I can't wait till you're home…she thought through her light-headedness. She waited and waited, watching the numbers on the cell phone cover pass by. The food began to cool and she stood up to heat it again, but her legs collapsed and she looked at them, surprised. Sighing, she leaned against the table once again, relishing in the coolness agasint her hot skin. I'm so tired…she sighed and blanked out.
Woohoo :D
