Sky Days chapter 03: Time Together

BW: ... (In a wheel chair covered in bandages, with only his eyes not covered. Almost looks like a mummy)

Sekai: Thank god he's not dead.

BW: HMM, HMMM! (I'm not dead!)

Setsuna: He's not dead... yet. Now, it's time for chapter 03.

Please enjoy!

(I don't own anything from School Days, but the OC's belong to me; one more thing, the name Sora or his appearance has nothing to do with the Soras of other franchises. The Sora in this story, is my own orginal character, okay? Please keep that in mind while reading future chapters as well)

The next day, in freshmen class-4, all of most of the classmates were eating and talking to themselves. Kotonoha was getting ready to leave to eat lunch with Makoto and Sekai, however,

"Katsura!" said a girl with dark brown hair, tied in a pony tail. She wore the white sleeved girls uniform, as did her friends. The pony tailed girl was named Otome Katou.

"...?" Kotonoha was surprised by Katou. She looked depressed as soon as her class bullies showed up.

"Where do you think your doing during your lunch break?" Katou asked, annoyed.

"You've been in a rush to get out of here lately. Could it be, you have a boyfriend?" asked one of Katou's friends.

"N-no... um..." Kotonoha was a bad liar. They easily figured out that it was true about kotonoha's boyfriend.

"So, it was a guy!" said another girl.

"It's no wonder you get out so quickly." said a third girl.

"So? How impartant is he to you? Is he so special that you would leave us here all alone?" Katou asked.

"Well, that's..." Kotonoha mumbled. Given her shyness, she couldn't answer directly. They've put a lot of pressure on her, much to their possible amousment.

"What business is it of yours?" asked a familiar voice. The girls look to the source of the voice and saw Sora with a unfriendly look on his face.

"It's Amamiya... what does he want?" asked the third girl.

"I don't know? Maybe he's..." the second girl trailed off, thinking that Sora was Kotonoha's boyfriend.

"Don't get the wrong idea! I'm just asking; what business is it of yours?" Sora repeats his question, "You guys seem to enjoy doing this every single day." Sora said, with a scowl.

"And what business is that of yours?" Katou asked, "You never bothered with this before, so why now? Why don't you just butt out and go back to your seat?" Katou ordered. Sora walks over to Katou, with the same unpleasent look on his face.

"Do I look like the kind of person who takes orders?" Sora asked, "Don't assume I'd hold my punches on a girl, Katou. Cut it out, before I get serious!" Sora threatens Katou, who stands her ground against the top class deliquent. This cuaght entire class's attention.

Katou walks away, with her friends following behind her. Tetsuo and Kongo were watching, with less surprise on their faces.

"Now, it gets interesting." said Tetsuo.

Moments later, Sora and Kotonoha were walking through the hall.

"I'm so sorry, Amamiya-kun. For you to stick up for me like..." Kotonoha trailed off as she walked.

"It's fine. Think of that as my apology for not saying anything like earlier in. I never did anything, well... because I was just too..."

"I-it's okay, you don't have to worry about me. I'll be fine." said Kotonoha.

"But..." Sora trailed, "I want to keep my promise." Sora said.

"Eh?" "You know, about eating lunch with you guys...?"

"Oh, that. You don't have to if you don't want." said Kotonoha.

"No. I really want to. I really want to spend... more time with you." Sora said, feeling more and more nervous; for one thing, he'll be eating with the girl he likes, and for another, he'll eating lunch with his biggest rival, Makoto Itou, who doesn't realize that Sora has a crush on his girlfriend.

Later, Sora has official joined the group of friends eating lunch together on the roof top.

"Hey, Amamiya-kun!" said Makoto, sitting on the bench, Sekai being next to him. Suddenly an unpleasent arua appeared.

"You don't have to use Kun everytime you mention my name..." an annoyed Sora thought, with the arua surrounding him.

"Makoto-kun." Kotonoha said, cancealing out the arua, "You don't mind if, Amamiya-kun joins us today, do you?"

"Oh? It's fine if he wants come and eat with us." Makoto said with a nice smile.

"That idiot..." Sekai thought. Moments later, the gang was eating their lunches. Kotonoha and Makoto sat next to each other on the same bench, while Sekai sat on the other bench, however, Sora sat near the door, with his stomach growling. He may have been looking forward to this, half way, but he doesn't have a lunch for some reason.

~Grumble~

The other three can't help to stare at the starving classmate of Kotonoha's.

"Does he really need to sit over there?" Makoto asked.

"He forgot his lunch, so he most likely thinks he should sit there until he departs for the sky." said Sekai.

Kotonoha felt sorry for him since he doesn't have anything to eat at the moment. She stands from the bench and walks over to him.

"Um, Amamiya-kun." Kotonoha said, capturing Sora's attention, "If you'd like, you could eat some of my lunch." Kotonoha said as she squated down on her kness, and holds out a sandwitch.

"N-no, that's okay! It's no big deal!" Sora said nervously.

"It's okay, there are plenty more." Kotonoha assured, she still held the sandwitch. She had no problem with sharing; however, Sora was still nervous. This was the first time he got a chance to try Kotonoha's cooking. Sora hesitantly took the sandwitch, and took a bit out it. He was surprised by the flavor.

Makoto and Sekai jump from their seats, thinking that he now knows what it's like to taste Kotonoha's cooking, but, he appeared fine.

"How is it?" Kotonoha asked.

"Well, there's a bit of a strange taste to it, but it so much better then my brother's cooking." Sora said.

"You have a brother?" Makoto asked.

"Yeah. He's older then I am. The food he usually makes taste like ass mixed with mud." Sora said. This brother of his sneezes back at their place.

"He must've developed a tough stomach. And wierd taste buds." Sekai thought.

"So, other then that, it taste good? My cooking, that is..." Kotonoha asked.

"Yeah." Sora nobs.

"That's great." Kotonoha said, cutely smiling. Sora blushes madly.

"Is he okay?" Makoto, obilviously.

"He's fine. He's just got it badder then you." Sekai joked.

"Huh?"

Kotonoha continued to smile. Sora's heart pounded while staring off into space. However, this moment ends when Sora noticed Makoto staring at the two.

"W-what're you looking?" Sora asked.

"Oh, n-nothing..." Makoto replied. As he looked at the two a moment ago, there was a pleasent and strangely fitting atmoshpir around them.

"Makoto-kun...?" Kotonoha asked.

"Ah, yeah, let's finish before break ends, right, Sekai?" Makoto said.

"Y-yeah, let's finish up here!" Sekai said, beginning to laugh. Although, she actually noticed this phoneme, too, niether of the two opened the discussion. Later, school ends, and everyone went home. Sora lives close to school so he has no reason to take the train. Instead he walks home.

"Today..." Sora trailed, remembering the smiling face of Kotonoha, "Was pretty good..." Sora finished, smiling, and continued walking home.

Later, at the apartment Sora lives in with his two brother, "I'm home!" Sora called.

"Hey, Sora!" said one of Sora's brothers. He was watching TV in the living room.

"So, want anything to eat?" Sora's brother asked.

"Anything, but your nasty cooking." Sora replied, walking to his room.

"That's rude! I was going to order take out too!" said Sora's brother.

"Whatever, just call me when it's here." Sora said, opening the door, and closed it behind him, rested his bag on the floor, and sat on his bed. He sighed.

Sestuna: And that's chapter 03.

Sekai: It was kinda short, wasn't it?

Setsuna: Yeah, it was. Anyway, you've begun to notice something, haven't you?

Sekai: Uh... kinda (lightly scratches her cheek, blushing)

Setsuna: Makoto noticed it too.

Sekai: Let;s not ruin it for them just yet. Anyway, see you next time! (said with a wink)
