-A WEEK LATER-
The bus were loading up, and the students were outside the bus waiting until it was okay to go in. All of the Tamers except Kenta and Kazu were already outside.
"Hey! A Little help here!" Kenta was struggling, carrying a couple of backpacks and holding a suitcase.
"What did you brought? Your room?" Rika joked. Kazu came up, carrying only a small bag filled with his Digimon cards.
"You got to be kidding. You're not bringing just that?" Takato said.
"Nope, Kenta got all of my luggage." He grinned. They all saw as Kenta was trying to carry everything, but eventually collapsed. Jeri and Takato ran up and helped Kenta with his things.
"Class! Please place all of your luggage under the bus. You have the choice to choose your seats, but if you're going to be a bother during the bus ride, you will be moved." the teacher warned. All of the students quickly placed their things under the bus, and went in the bus. Jeri decided to sit with Rika, Takato with Henry, and Kenta with Kazu. The six of them were close with each other so they could communicate with each other easily. The bus started the engine and the bus drove off. Meanwhile as the bus was driving, Kazu decided to bring his Digimon Cards and play a game of Digimon cards with Kenta. Henry, sat there talking to Takato as they both talked about their adventures. Which left Rika and Jeri, talking about a subject Rika was not usually comfortable about.
"So Rika. I heard from the other boys that you and Henry are pretty close." Jeri popped up.
"If you mean as a friend, yeah Henry and I are pretty close." Rika answered straight up.
"Rika, answer this truthfully, do you see Henry more than just a friend?"
*Wow what happened to subtle.* she chuckled, observing her camera. She thought about it, her and Henry always got along with each other. In fact, Henry was the only guy that didn't drive her crazy. But, it didn't mean she liked him. Henry, like the others, was always just a friend.
"Well… I'm not exactly sure. I just don't think it would work out," she continued, "I mean we're already friends. Isn't that good enough?" *dang it, why can't I say it. Especially to someone like Jeri.*
"I know you're lying."
"How would you know that?"
"Well, we you lie, you're usually unsure about it, you're always direct and straightforward." she grinned. "RIKA NONAKA, DO YOU HAVE YOUR FIRST LOVE INTEREST?" she fangirled.
Rika blushed a bit, when it came to these topics, she was usually the one listening to Jeri talk about her crush. Which was most of the time Takato. It's been three years, and they never got the nerve to ask the other out.
"Well… are you going to do anything about it?" she asked.
" I wouldn't want to ruin the friendship that Henry and I already have. " she said quietly.
"I understand… When did this started?"
"I think it was a couple of months ago. I started to realize how Henry was always kind toward others and how great of a friend he was, which I had admired about him. So it progressed from there."
"I think its sweet. Rika… I think you're turning into a girl." she pretended she was crying. Rika rolled my eyes. Jeri was still someone I turned my back to when it came to this type of stuff. Though I wouldn't admit it to her, I appreciate it.
"So Henry, what's up with you and Rika?" Takato grinned.
"Oh no. Not you too." He groaned. "There's nothing going on the two of us. We're just two good friends."
"Good friends huh. I don't think good friends go on dates!" He pointed his finger at Henry's nose. Henry pushed it away and snickered.
"Rika's nice. She's fun to hang out with, but I wouldn't think she would be attracted to me, or anyone right now. She's independent. One of the things I like about her. She can manage herself. "
"So is that a no or yes?"
"Well I mean yeah, but-"
"I KNEW IT!" He exclaimed.
"So what if I do. I'm not going to do anything about it."
"Why not?"
"One, she would kill me if I made a move on her. Two, I wouldn't want to ruin my friendship with her. Three, I don't simply know how would I do it."
"It's easy my friend. I'll teach you how."
"Says the guy who can't ask Jeri out after it's obvious the both of you are attracted to each other. It's been three years."
"Okay, Okay. I've been working a long time for that. I'm waiting for the perfect moment. But for you, the perfect moment is now." Henry rolled his eyes and looked out the window as Takato was planning out the way Henry would ask Rika out.
*Still even I did, I don't think she would feel the same*
