Chapter 6
Almost every day for the past couple of weeks I had lain in bed wondering why I felt like that towards senpai. I mean he was just a senpai, right? When I had asked Yumi-chan she looked at me like I was crazy and said, "How dense can you be?", and walked away.
That had ticked me off. I mean really. She obviously knows and yet she makes everything so difficult.
"Ugh!" I yelled, scratching my head. This was really getting to me.
"HEY! EARTH TO SUZUKI KIMIKO!" A voice yelled into my ear.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! WHO'S THERE?"
I looked up to see a very ticked off looking Chihara-sensei.
"I see you've decided to join us Suzuki-san."
"I'm sorry."
Sensei sighed in defeat, "Remember what we talked about when you first came though."
"Yes, ma'm."
"Hey, are you okay?" Yumi-chan asked as she caught up to me after school.
"Ya, I'm fine. Why?"
"You were spacing out in class."
"You make me sound like such a nerd."
"Ya, well you're not exactly a juvenile delinquent," Yumi snorted.
I was about to respond when a voice called us from behind.
"HEYYYY! Kimiko-chan, evil one!"
We turned around to see Marui-senpai and Kirihara-san.
"Who's the evil one!" Yumi-chan practically screamed in poor Kirihara's ear.
"That hurts Ishimaru-san," Kirihara said as he held his ear.
"Sorry, that was meant for your clown of a senpai."
"Who are you calling a clown, you she-devil!"
Kirihara and I stood to side as they argued.
"So how was your day Akaya-kun?" I asked.
Over the past couple weeks we had become good friends.
"It was okay. Just the usual, I fell asleep in English and sensei assigned me more homework. How was your day?"
"Good, I kind of spaced out in class though."
Akaya looked at me, shocked.
"What's with that look?" I asked. Did everyone think I paid attention to the sensei? The smart ones just don't get caught.
"Well you're always at the top of the class."
I just rolled my eyes, but before he could say anything though Marui-senpai interrupted us.
"Hey, Kimiko-chan?"
"Yea?"
"Well, me and the evil one here have a plan for you…"
"What kind of plan?" I felt like something was going to happen.
"Well, since I have kendo practice every day…" Yumi-chan said.
"And kendo lasts longer than tennis…" Marui-senpai continued.
"Senpai here is going to walk you home every day." Yumi finally finished
….
"WHAT! I can walk home by myself!" I protested. I fought back the happiness and blush threatening to explode.
"No, no you can't." Yumi-chan deadpanned.
"Why not?"
"Remember the last time? You got lost and we found in the park just swinging on the swing. You have absolutely no sense of direction,"
"That was back then!" I cried out.
"That was yesterday!" She responded.
I felt my face turn a shade of red that rivaled Akaya's.
"Don't laugh!" I yelled at the two tennis regulars on the floor.
"Sorry," They said.
"Just can't believe you got that lost." Marui-senpai said.
"Whatever. Hey aren't you guys late for practice?" I asked the three athletes.
…
"OH CRAP!"
Yumi-chan rushed out yelling something about going with Marui-senpai. I felt Marui-senpai and Akaya grab my arms and start running full speed towards the tennis courts.
When we got there I was thrown graciously in the bleachers. I could, once again, feel the fan girls glaring daggers at me. If looks could kill, I would be a zombie by now.
"I see you have decided to join us again, Suzuki-san," Yanagi-senpai said.
I nodded, still thinking about the bruise that was sure to appear on my butt tonight.
"Do you still remember everything?"
"Yup!" I responded proudly.
"Good. you wouldn't mind a quiz then?"
"Not at all."
"Hey, are you ready to go?"
"Yea."
As we walked home together the sky got dark and cloudy.
"Looks like it's going to rain."
The moment that came out of senpai's mouth the sky opened up and we were soaked. He grabbed my hand and dragged me down the street. After a couple of turns I realized we weren't going to Yumi-chan's house.
"Marui-senpai, this isn't the way to Yumi's house," I yelled through the rain.
"I know! My house is closer."
I could barely hear him through the storm. It took me a minute to realize what he said. Another for it to sink in. I could feel the rising blush on my face. Good thing he was too focused on getting to his house.
"We're here."
We stood on the doorstep waiting for the door to open. When it was opened I saw a young woman standing there. She pulled us in and handed us towels.
"Here dry off. I am Bunta's mother, are you his girlfriend?"
Our faces went from blue to red.
"M-mom!"
"Ah, sorry I just thought… never mind."
Marui turned towards me, bowed, and then apologized for his mother's behavior.
"It's alright."
As he lifted his head he saw me and blushed a fiery shade of red. I realized that I had only worn the dress shirt and that it was now see through. Now my face was heating up too. We both tried to avoid eye contact. Lucky for me, Marui's mom came back and handed me a pair of green flannel pajamas with puppies on them. She led me to the restroom and told me that she had called Yumi-chan and told her that you would be staying here since this was a big storm that wasn't going to end anytime soon.
"Thank you, um."
"Just call me mom."
"Well..."
"I had always wanted a daughter."
"O-okay. Thanks mom."
"No problem."
After I had finished showering and changing I stepped out. Standing outside was Marui-senpai.
"Hey you look really cute after a shower."
I felt my face redden, again. This was kind of annoying now. He must've realized what he said since he blushed too.
"Hey, you're going to be sharing a room with me. I mean if you don't mind," He said still avoiding eye contact.
"It's okay."
On the inside though I was freaking out. Sharing a room with a boy!
He led me to his room. It was clean and there were posters of famous tennis players on the walls.
He looked at me suspiciously, "What were you expecting?"
"A pigsty. With porn. A pigsty with porn."
He just stared at me. I shrugged.
"You can have the bed," We both said at the same time.
We had a mini staring contest for a while.
"Let's share it then," I said.
"Wha-what?"
"You get that half I get half."
We had another staring contest, which I won, so we went with my idea. We both laid down on his full-size bed. We were pretty close to each other since the isn't exactly large and we weren't exactly babies.
"Hey, you know you don't have to call her mom right?"
"Yea but I never really had a mom."
He looked at me confused.
"I'm adopted; my adopted parents treat more like a student than a daughter."
"Oh."
…
…
"Good night Kimiko."
"Good night."
I drifted off to sleep thinking how much better I like him calling me Kimiko instead of Kimiko-chan it sounded more realistic. Less superficial.
Please review! Sorry for OOC-ness.
