Chapter 2 - Mall Escapade
Nagato
I pressed the doorbell on Konan's house. She told me that she wanted me to go with her and Yahiko. I had a White Shirt and a coat on with a pair of jeans and black high-cut Chucks. I wish Sasuke's here too. He may not look like it but he's a party animal. I pressed it once more and Sasuke opened the door. Great... I knew it. "You made it, sweet." he said. He wore black all the way. Konan went to the door and invited me inside. I sat on the chair in their living room. "Where's Yahiko?" I asked. Sasuke pointed upstairs and lied down on the sofa.
Yahiko went stomping down. Cursing. "Dammit! Konan where's my checkered Chucks?!" he yelled. She was in the kitchen fixing some coffee. "I dunno." she answered. Yahiko went inside a room and we heard things being tossed to and fro. Konan walked over to us and gave us coffee. She sat and drank too. "So... why is your brother--" "disorganized?" she continued for me. "He's so sort of a mama's boy. So, when mom died---" She placed a hand over her mouth and looked away. She must've said too much. I patted her on the back. 'The hell's wrong with me?. I kept thinking about it over and over again. I smiled at her.
Konan
I wish my brother would just grow up. "Brother, move faster" I sighed. I just told them a little part our secret. They look like the type to just keep quiet about things. Especially, Nagato. I wish he would ask me out. What am I asking? Surely he likes me... right? Most of the boys do once they see me. I think he's quite different. He looks like a very relaxed person. He looks depress at the same time though.
My brother got out of the room. I jumped up to him and we fell to the floor. I punched him hard on the face. "You should move faster you know!" I yelled at his face. Sasuke and Nagato laughed. "Let's go!" I turned around and smiled.
It took us about 15 mins. to get to the mall. Traffic much. We went to a couple of music bars and we browsed some shirts on Hot Topic. We also looked at some shoes. When were tired we bought some coffee and sat on some chairs in Starbucks.
"Guys, I really like that black one with the skulls. Arrgh... the problem is I don't have budget." Nagato said. He'd usually start our conversation. He may be emo... but he sure is seriously talkative. I placed my hand on the side of the chair and held my cheek. I watched him talk. Yahiko whispered something to him and he punched him lightly.
Nagato
"Ask my sister out." Yahiko whispered and giggled lightly to my ear. I punched him lightly. "No f***in' way I would do that" I laughed. I held my neck using my right arm. I usually go into this position when I feel nervous or depressed or sad. Most probably nervous. We talked for a while again.
"Sasuke, do you mind coming with me to the bathroom?" Yahiko said and winked. Sasuke nodded and stood up. They went out and turned right. Yahiko waved at me. Konan was still silent. She changed her position. She sat cross-legged and threaded her fingers behind her head.
"So... uh..." I said. I'm starting to feel the heat on my face. She placed her arms on her lap and looked away for a sec "Do you...uh....um... like... have a...have uh... b-b-boyf-f-ri-end." I stammered. This is embarrassing. I looked down and put my elbows on my lap and caught my face in my hands. I waited for her answer. Suspense hahaha.
"I don't...why?" she answered simply. She was red on the face too. She drank some of the coffee. I sighed.
"Uh... c-could...uh...are you...well... you sort of get the point." I sighed. She looked down.
"Friday..." she whispered. I smiled but inside I'm feelin' surprise and jumpin' like a happy puppy. She looked back at me and leaned forward. "7:30 sound cool?" she said. Woohoo! Oh yeah! I got myself a date. "Yeah...sure. Awesome" I replied. We were silent. We drank coffee every once in a while and whispered, too.
Yahiko finally entered back again. They sat on the seats they left. I shot Yahiko a bad look. I pulled him hard and whispered on his ear, "Where the hell have you been?!" I said. I released my grip on him. "To the bathroom... didn't I tell you that?" I slapped my forehead. I seriously want to punch him.
We went home and went back to Konan and Yahiko's house. I sat on the sofa this time and Sasuke sat on the chair to the left. Konan sat next to me and was hugging my arm. She placed her head on my shoulder and closed her eyes. Yahiko went rushing to the kitchen and grabbed some water. He made Orange juice for us.
"Hehehe, thought so... it's impossible for her to not complain about the person touring us around the school." Yahiko said. He watched us intently. "Hmm... you look good together" He stood up and leaned his body forward a bit. He returned to his normal standing position and rubbed his chin. "My decision's final... I give you my blessing... Nagato" he said proudly. I giggled a little. I checked the time. It was about 10:00... my house is about 30 mins. away. I'm going to be toast. "Hey! Yahiko... I gotta go... My curfew's 11." I said. "Oh... O~kay... I'll let you go... If... you carry my sister upstairs." he said. I blew my cheeks and nodded. I carried her upstairs. He opened the door for us. I gently landed her on her bed and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "Sleep tight..." I whispered. "You're so sweet." Yahiko commented. I stuck my tongue out at him and went back downstairs. I turned to look at Sasuke and said, "Hey! Sasuke are you going--- oh yeah I forgot...". He didn't have parents. So, usually he would sleep at someone else's house. Yahiko accompanied me to the door and I bade them farewell.
