Satoshi wasn't sure how he had gotten roped into this. Though he supposed it had all started on Thursday as he was leaving school. Risa Harada had caught up with him and despite his best efforts to avoid conversation she managed to corner him at a stop light. How she knew that he walked home every Thursday was still a mystery to him. He remembered exactly how it had happened, even if he didn't understand it quite yet.
He had been waiting for the light to turn green, preferably before Risa caught up with him. He had a feeling he knew what she wanted. "Hiwatari-San!" Satoshi turned around to see Risa running up to the curb with her typical happy grin. As she ran her long hair flew out behind her, giving off the impression that she was flying down the street.
"Harada-San." Satoshi greeted with his usual calmness. They made eye contact and his heart seemed to miss a beat for some reason. Of course, that reason would be that Risa's Hazel eyes, one of her best features, seemed even more striking than usual up close. He averted his eyes as quickly as he could without seeming rude. He quickly tried to forget his previous thought. Thinking like that would only awaken Krad. Satoshi was in no mood to fight for control of his body today. "Was there something you wanted?" He wanted to get this conversation over with as quickly as possible. The faster he was out of her company the better; after all it was not a good thing for him to be in the presence of a pretty girl for long. Satoshi mentally winced, if Krad had heard him think that. He would never have lived it down.
Risa nodded. "I was wondering if you had any plans for this Saturday. I know this is sudden, but I was hoping that we could do something?" She asked. She clasped her hands and looked at him hopefully. It was obvious to him that she had been working up the courage to ask him for a while.
Satoshi knew what he had to say. He had to turn her down and make up some reason she couldn't go, say he had other plans when he really didn't. He wanted to tell her the truth, he really did. That was probably the worst part of the current situation. He might have liked Risa, if he was allowed to 'like' girls. Feelings like that would only cause him misery in the future. But instead of telling her he had to do paperwork or something. He found himself smiling. "Actually Harada-san, I don't have any plans for this Saturday." Why did he say that? Satoshi was putting both of them in danger by agreeing to go on what was surely a date! "Did you have something in mind for us to do?" Apparently his mouth wasn't on the same page as his mind.
Risa was in shock for a moment. Clearly it had not escaped her notice that he never accepted invitations to social events of any kind. As far as the student body was concerned, he was too busy for that. But the shock only lasted for a moment. She grinned excitedly. "Really?" She couldn't believe he said yes! Risa then went on to suggest some places where they could go. Satoshi agreed to one and that was that.
Satoshi shook his head and pulled himself from the memory. He knew he should have canceled on Friday when he had the opportunity. But, things had just kept coming up. Canceling last minute was not an option so he found himself on his way to the park to meet Risa. He had been given many opportunities to cancel. Yet he didn't. He knew he would regret it later. But Satoshi found that he didn't care. He much preferred going out with Risa to staying home along with only Krad to talk to.
Note!
And the next chapter is done. I'm not happy with it, but I guess it will have to do. :/ This is my first shot at anything Romance-like. So be kind in your reviews okay?
