The day seemed like it would never end. Every class I had seemed longer than the last one.
When the school day somehow managed to end, I dragged my feet to the gates entrance where I saw Ikuto waiting. I picked up my feet, just wanting to get this over. When I got closer to Ikuto I saw that he was leaning against the school gate.
"Your really slow," he said pushing his leg off the gate. "Well, you didn't have to wait , I already know where you live." I retorted. He started to walk away slowly and I had to catch up. "You know where Utau lives, you don't know where I live." Ikuto, suddenly stopped and pulled a crumpled piece of paper out of his pocket. He unfolded it and showed it to me.
It was the note that I stuck on his locker earlier today. Dammit.
"What's with the shocked face?" Ikuto asked putting the note back in his pocket. "Why do you think it was me?" I asked, I could hear the fear in my voice.
"I know it was you because I know my hand writing, and I wouldn't threaten myself." Ikuto said putting the note back I his pocket. I didn't know what to say, ao I just looked down at the ground.
After a while, we started to walk again. We walked for about 10 minutes until we came across an abandoned amusement park.
"You live in an amusement park?" I asked, looking around the place. The rides and attractions were still here and looked like they could still work. If you got rid of the little rust and repainted them they would look like they did before.
"I live near the back so come on," when I looked over at Ikuto I saw him sitting on top if the fence. "Why are you on top of the fence?" I asked looking up at him. "This is the ony way to get there. Now give me your hand." Ikuto said lowering his hand to me.
I ignored his hand and climbed up the fence to sit across from him. He jumped down from the fence, landing on both his feet. He held his hand back out to me again, but I ignored it and jumped down my self. I didn't have that well of balance for a minute after I jumped.
"Where do we go now?" I asked leaning against the fence. "Across the park,"Ikuto said walking away again. We walked across the park until he stopped at a tree. I noticed that there was a ladder on the tree.
I watched Ikuto climb the ladder first. "How many things do you have to go through to get to your house? " I asked looking up at him. He turned his head to look at me,"I just have to walk here, climb the fence, walk across the park, and climb the ladder into the tree." Ikuto said carelessly, then started climbing again. He says that like its nothing.
When Ikuto was more than half way up, I started climbing. When I got to the entrance of the tree house I noticed that it looks like a regular house. There was a pillow and a blanket on the floor in on corner, open boxes filled with clothes, and an instrument case and books in another.
"Would you stop staring and get in here." Ikuto snapped at me. I pulled myself fully in and sat down on the floor. Ikuto gave me a water bottle and sat across from me.
"Thanks," I mumbled, "What country do you want to do?" I asked taking a sip of the water.
"I don't know," Ikuto said standing up to lean on a wall. "Make a list of countries and pick which ever one you want to do." He told me, I already knew what he was trying to do.
I took a deep breath to calm myself, "I'm not going to do all the work."I said angrily. "Yeah, I'll help," I heard him mutter a later under his breath. My anger got the best of me and I threw a pen at him.
"What?" Ikuto asked giving me a cold glare. "You need to do some form of work, give me a country." I said leaning over to get my pen. Ikuto put his foot over the pen and dragged it away from me. "You can't think of any countries, of course." He said taking a sip from his water bottle.
"I can think of countries, but I'm not going to do your work. And if I do all the work I'll make sure your name isn't on the project." I said trying to sound threatening.
"Your not scarring me, so what I get a 'f' on an assignment. Big deal." Ikuto said uncaring. "I don't care if you don't want a 'f', I don't want a 'f'. So if we fail I'm not going to be very happy." i said letting my anger leak into my voice.
"Why should I care about your happiness?" Ikuto said raising an eyebrow at me. I had a blank expression on my face. I don't know why I thought he should care.
"I dint know how to answer that." I said looking down at my hands. "Exactly, so if you make the list we won't fail." He said pulling out his phone.
I leaned my back kn the wall, grabbed my notebook and pretended to work. I colored the side margins for about 5 minutes, until I noticed Ikuto was looking at me.
"Amu, are you done yet?" Ikuto asked, not looking up from his phone. I didn't reply, I didn't want to reply. "Amu," I noticed the impatient tone in his voice, but I still didn't reply.
I heard his footsteps coming closer towards me and I looked up. He sat down in front of me and tilted the notebook towards him. "What have you been doing all this time?" He said the anger clear in his voice.
"The same thing you've done, nothing. I won't start until you do something." I said annoyed.
"Fine, countries Germany, Great Britain, France." He started making a list. I wrote down all the names and after ten I told him to stop.
"How many is that?" Ikuto mumbled. "Ten, which one is your favorite?" I asked watching him sit down next to me. He looked at the paper and was leaning on my shoulder a little. I don't know why, but I felt myself blushing. I just hope he didn't notice.
"We should do Australia," Ikuto said pointing at it. I slightly nodded and put two stars around it. "Should we do a dessert or a dinner?" Ikuto asked.
"I can't cook that well, but I can bake okay. I think it would be better if we do a dessert." I honestly said.
"Alright," Ikuto looked his phone out of his pocket to check something. I'm guessing the time. "We can look for a recipe tomorrow. Its starting to get late." Ikuto said standing up.
I grabbed my backpack from the floor, I noticed that he was holding his hand out to me. For the first time today I actually took his hand. He pulled me up and we left.
