Chapter 5:

Day 3: "I felt so lucky I thought I'd send you some luck too, P.S. Meet me in the park tomorrow for Valentines Day" Kumiko sighed, this guy was so corny. The note was probably referring to the Lucky Charm Bracelet she had received. Along with that she had received 2 red roses. She put it in her cupboard with the rest of the gifts she had received.

"Kumiko are you going to go to school today?" Mrs. Lee called to her daughter from downstairs.

"Yes" Mrs. Lee was a bit shocked at her daughters reply but happy that her daughter was finally getting over what ever happened at school.

"You better hurry school starts in 30mins"

"Yes Mom"

KNOCK KNOCK

"Mmm who could that be?" Said Mrs. Lee as she headed towards the door. When she opened it she was shocked to see the same boy from a few days back except he looked a bit more nervous than usual.

"Hi can I help you?"

"Hi I'm Souta, I'm in Kumiko's class and I was wondering if she was coming to school today?"

"Yes actually today she is, she's upstairs getting ready as we speak"

"Mom, who's there?" As Kumiko said this she appeared at the top of the stairs in a bath robe and I toothbrush in hand. She stayed there stunned with her toothbrush half way up to her mouth.

"Kumiko you better hurry up" With that Kumiko ran into her room to get ready.

"So Souta what are you doing here?"

"I came here to walk Kumiko to school, if she wants too"

"I'm sure she does, come into the lounge, she should be done soon"

"Err…Okay" Souta then took of his shoes and headed into the lounge and sat down on the sofa.

"So Souta are you and my daughter seeing each other?" asked Mrs. Lee

Souta stared at her in shock while a blush slowly started to creep onto his face.

"Err…no"

"Aaawww you two would make such a cute couple and the grandchildren would be so cute with their…" Mrs. Lee was interrupted when her daughter walked in with a bright red face.

"Mom!"

"Err…Kumiko ready to go?"

"Yes, oh thanks for the notes and sorry about my mom she gets like this sometimes"

"Don't worry so does my mom she's obsessed with Grandkids especially ones with…"

"With what?"

"Err…"

'Oh smart move Souta now what am I supposed to say, dog ears, Kumiko will think I'm weird'

"Um…blue eyes"

"Oh I thought you were going to say…"

"What?"

"Nothing!"

"Um…okay"

"So did you understand the math notes I left you?"

"Um actually no, I've never understood math that well"

"I could tutor you if you like?"

"That would be great; my mom said if I didn't pass my next math test she'd take away my music"

"Tough break"

"So could you come round tonight?"

"Yeah I'm sure Mama doesn't want me home for anything"

"Great, I'll see you at about 6.30, okay?"

"Sure, oh and if you need any help keeping up in class with what you missed just ask me in class"

"Okay thanks"

They had now reached the school and Kumiko was looking nervously at the school. 'They'll find out one of these days and I'll be home schooled again. Not to mention Souta would hate me, wait why do I care what he thinks?' Kumiko hadn't realized but she was now staring at Souta questionably with a slight blush grazing her nose. 'Is she staring at me?' Souta looked over to Kumiko and saw her staring at him, they both quickly turned their heads the other way both now had a blush.

"Hey Souta, Kumiko great to see you're back!"

"Yea Souta was so depressed for the past few days"

Souta glared at his so called friends when Kumiko suddenly tripped over nothing and Souta caught her with one arm. (A/N: So he is standing their with her half way down to the floor with his arm around her stopping her from falling and their faces are only inches apart) 'Wow his eyes are so…wow' 'She's so pretty I wish she could see that' Souta was now feeling himself being drawn to her and both Kumiko and Souta's eyes were starting to close.

A/N: See I love writing cliffes. Any ideas, please tell me!
