Okay, this has to be the worst chapter yet. Plus, the longest wait yet. But I really had no idea what to write, I'm really sorry for making such an important part like this so sucky but...me sowy...me just weally sowy. Plus...you guys aren't giving any ideas as I have been pleeeeeeeading for. Anyways, I'll try to update with the normal 1,000 words next time, but don't kill me if I don't. Ah, and P.S.: Giving me ideas means faster and better chapters! :P
Oh and, I did good at the Track Finals! Hip hip, hooray!
Chapter 17
Ikuto's POV:
The days of school went on. Nothing changed. We continued life without much interaction. We, as in Amu and I. Neither of us purposely tried to avoid the other, but when we came in contact with each other, neither would squeak out a word of greeting. And that's how the week wore on. Until that day. Friday. The last day of the school week.
I found a pink post-it folded in half in my locker. It was pretty obvious who it was from, so I guess she didn't bother to write her name. I unfolded the note and read.
Meet me at the big tree at the back of the school afterschool. Maybe we can work this out.
I got there early 'cause…the playful part of me still wanted to hide in the tree and jump out to scare Amu when she got here. It was a big tree, like seriously big.
So, yeah. There she comes, walking along with a total nonchalant expression on her face, but I, knowing her better than I know myself (sometimes), know that she's killing herself on the inside. She leaned on the big tree and sighed, as if saying, I was the one that planed this, I shouldn't be nervous…Calm…calm…
I snickered a little, causing her to look up. Well, whoops for her, I decided to pounce right at that moment. She momentarily freaked before running 5 feet away. She seemed ready to kill, while I was just there…landing gracefully with my cat skills.
"Hello to you too." She muttered.
I smirked, "Well, Amu, I appreciate you calling me here. Would you care to tell me what news was so urgent?"
Her eye twitched, "Well." She took a deep breath, "First of all, stop that okay? I know you're freaked out or annoyed by this whole relationship thing as much as I am so how about we make it easier for the both of us? Stop being so snappy. Stop acting like you don't have a care in the world. Because you do. I've seen that part of you."
I looked down at my feet. I had to words to reply to that. "Well? Get on with it then."
Amu sighed, still unsatisfied by my attitude, "Okay, so…I suggest we start over. Begin fresh. I'm willing to forget the past. I dunno about forgiving…but I can forget it. And…in a way, I guess it's forgiving. I'm willing, Ikuto. I'm willing to do what it takes to make this work. Are you?"
I looked at her in the eyes. Those sweet, soft honey colored eyes now sparked with determination. I shook my head, Of course I am. And the bet too…if this works out, we can probably be together forever. "If you put it that way, I guess I am."
Short, right? Well, sorry. Anyways, yay! They're back together! For now...
Mwahahahahahahahaha!
Keep reading! :)
