Simple Words: Chapter 3- Different?


Kyo POV

I stared at the clock. The bell was going to ring any minute now. Should I tell Tohru I found her diary? That question ran through my head for the past minutes. She might get mad at me for reading her inner deepest thoughts. Those words were not meant to be read and I'm sure if I tell Tohru that I read it then I'm toast! Crap, I don't know what to do! I should just leave the journal where I found it and act normal. Yeah, that's a good idea. Hopefully Tohru will come and get it before someone else does and I just need to keep my cool. Okay, now to drop it without noticing. Hell, the class is quiet! I'll just place it down on the floor when the bell rings after everyone has left and sneak out quietly! Yes, that's what I'm going to do. Now, the talk with Tohru…

Tohru POV

I was freaking out! Where could it possibly be?! Then, a horrible thought crossed my mind… what if Kyo found it and read it? After all he was in the class she just came from. Okay, calm down Tohru… You're freaking out! Just take a deep breath and relax. I inhaled and exhaled. I guess I did it too hard because everyone started to stare at me. Okay, that does not help. Let's just pray that it's going to be in class at lunch! Then maybe I can go and get it! Yes, that's what I'll do.

Kyo POV

My body was shaking all over. Stop freaking out Kyo… their just simple words. (A/n: that's how I got the title: Simple Words). Yes, that's all they are. Simple words and nothing more. Come on bell, ring damn it! I stared intensely at the clock wishing that class would just end.

Tohru POV

The class was extremely quiet now. We were supposed to be writing in our journals. The only sound you could hear was the tick- tock from the clock. I started to tense up with each tick. I just couldn't take it anymore; I had to go get my diary! And when I was going to jump out of my desk and run out of class, the bell rang and I ran down the hall.

Kyo POV

The bell rang and everyone quickly exited the room to go to lunch. I took the journal out of my backpack and carefully placed it on the floor. When I was sure no one saw- or most importantly, Tohru wasn't there- I quickly ran out of the room. For once, having a teacher sleeping during class was a good thing. I went to my locker to put away my books and went to the cafeteria to meet Tohru for lunch. And I pray that she won't notice anything.

Tohru POV

I ran down the hall and turned on the corner. I went the class where my diary was and no one was there. I looked around the classroom and there, I found my diary. I picked it up and went to the cafeteria to meet Kyo, Hana and Uo.

Normal POV

Uo, Hana, and Kyo gathered around the table, waiting for Tohru.

"I wonder where Tohru is?" said Uo. "It's not like her to be late."
"My waves tell me that she is in a rush…" Hana said in a calm voice. "Earlier… in class… I felt nervous waves…"

Kyo twitched when he heard this. He looked around nervously and avoided eye contact with Hana and Uo.

"Is there something wrong orange-top?" Uo said. It wasn't like Kyo to be acting this way.

Kyo flinched and yelled back in reply, "No damn it! And stop calling me that!"

"I'm so sorry that I'm late!" Said a voice. Everyone turned their head and saw Tohru, and she was holding her bright pink journal. Kyo gave a sigh of relief and started to eat his lunch.

"It's okay Tohru!"

"Yes… we don't mind at all…" Her friends replied. But Kyo didn't say anything at all. He just ate his lunch and avoided eye contact with Tohru the whole time. The bell rang to go to class and Kyo quickly finished off his rice ball and gathered all his stuff and left to go to class quickly and without a bye. Tohru looked at the direction where Kyo was walking and wondered if she did anything wrong. She walked to her next class with Uo and Hana, waiting for school to and so she could talk to Kyo.

Kyo POV

We were at the lunch table waiting for Tohru. It wasn't like her to be late. I wonder if everything is okay. What if she did go back to the classroom? Did she get her diary or did someone take it? Or worse, did she notice that someone read it? She could ask the teacher who sat at her seat in my period… and that would be me… Uo and Hana were talking about her and what Hana said made me nervous. So she did know her diary was gone, and is she found out, he walked get pounded by Uo.

"Is there something wrong orange- top?'" Uo asked me, causing me to flinch. Oh crap! She noticed that I'm acting weird and I bet wave- girl is sensing nervous waves!

"No damn it! And stop calling me that!" I blurted out without thinking. Then I heard Tohru's voice and turned to see her there, clutching on to her pink diary. Yes, I thought. She has it, I'm safe! Since that was out of my system, I started to eat my lunch but avoided eye- contact with Tohru so she wouldn't see the nervousness in my eyes. The bell rang to go to class and I quickly gathered all my stuff so I could get the heck out of there.

Uo, Hana and Tohru had the same class so they walked together.

"You know, orange- top was acting kind of weird today."

"Yes… and I sensed nervous waves…"

(A/n: You guys know whose talking, right?)
"Yeah… that worries me… did I do something wrong? I better talk to him at home."

Ha-ha, Kyo didn't tell Tohru he read her diary! But hey, he can't hide the fact for long! What's going to happen in the next chapter? Chee! Only I know! So if you want to find out, you better review! Hehe, sorry If this chappy is not long enough or what you expected it to be! I was going to type more but I need to go on to my Science Homework! So please review and I'll update when I hit maybe 35- 40 reviews? Yupps, leave any criticism, reviews and blah, blah, blah…
