Sky Days chapter 010: Preparation

BW: I've finally getting back into Sky Days. It's been like forever I did anything with the story, now I'm getting motivated to do it. It may not last long, since I've got other stories that need doing as well. Actually, I think I'm going to end Sky Days here, and then create a part 2 to continue. Enjoy this final chapter.

(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 Sora's of other franchises. You know the drill)

The next day after he and Kotonoha talked over the phone, Sora sits gleefully in class. He hadn't slept that night. He was too happy to sleep. Tetsuo and Kongo noticed, and thought it was odd, even for Sora. They've never actually seen him so happy.

Class continued onward, with the teacher teaching, and the students learning.

(-Between Classes-)

After class was finished, everyone did their usual thing. Tetsuo and Kongo however, feeling curious about their friends mood, decided to question Sora on it.

"Hey, Sora, what's with you today?" Tetsuo asked. It was unusual to see Sora this cheerful in school. Well, at least to Tetsuo.

"Hey, get this, Tetsuo! The school festival is coming up, right?" Sora grinned.

"Yeah, and?"

"Well, Katsura-san asked me to hang out with her during the festival!" Sora announced.

"No way! Are you serious?" Kongo gasped, but he was actually pretending to be shocked.

"You know it! I can't wait!" Sora grin grew bigger.

"That's cool man! Congrats!" Tetsuo gave a thumbs to his friend, before reverting back to his serious, "Idiot."

"What was that?" Sora scowled. His expression went from happy, to angered.

"You heard me. Did you forget that you're hiding something from Katsura? Especially, when you plan to go out with her on the day of the festival?" Tetsuo asked, with a serious tone in his voice.

"He's right. Do you seriously think it's so awsome she asked you to hang out with her, and you can get away with hiding the fact that her boyfriend is secretly having an affair?" Kongo asked, too.

"Can you really call that a date? Sorry, I don't think so. You gotta say something, before it's too late!" Tetsuo said. He and Kongo were tired of leting events go the way they are. They decided to tell Sora straight out that he can't go on like this. Although, neither expected Sora to agree, or even listen. They just wanted to get their point across, by calling him out on it.

But, Sora, even to him own surprise, was listening to every word they said. His friends were actually standing their ground. For once, he started to really think about his decsion. Why is he so happy, when he's keeping something so important a secret from the girl he likes? In fact, what's the point? To just make sure she's happy, when she's clearly not? No, that's not right. In fact, it's outright heinous in it's own way.

"You're right..." Sora said. Tetsuo and Kongo's faces lit up with surprise. "What the hell was I thinking, being happy at a time like? Although, I'm not giving up the chance to spent time with her, I'm going to tell her the truth. Even if she doesn't believe me and our friendship is lost, I'm going to try."

It grew silent around the three. To think, Sora would agree this quickly. Something must be wrong. Tetsuo suddenly got his cell phone out, and seemingly dialed 911, "Hello, is this the hostipal? I have a friend here who is mentally ill."

"Hey! That's just rude!" Sora yelled.

Tetsuo turned his cell phone off the next moment, "I'm just kidding." Tetsuo chuckled, "But still, I am surprised. To think, you'd actually listen to us, and agree that easily."

"And you haven't smacked us around either. That's even more surprising." Kongo said, with red cheeks. This creeps Sora and Tetsuo out.

"No, that's disturbing, on your part!" Tetsuo yelled.

"Anyway, even I'm surprised." Sora said, "I guess having Katsura-san as a friend has change me more then I thought. First, I couldn't even talk to her without shuttered. Mostly because I'm not used to being a nice guy, and I was too shy. Being with her has made me more confident in myself then I realized. It's kind of embarrassing, but that's how I feel, and I owe it all to her."

"Well well, sounds like someone had some development in his character." Kongo smiled.

"In any event, you owe it to her to tell her th truth, right?" Tetsuo asks.

"Yeah, but not right away. When I feel I'm ready, I'll tell her." Sora said.

"So, you still plan to keep it a secret? Dude, what's wrong with you?"

"Shut up. Even I don't know what's wrong with me."

"You planning to tell her during the festival, don't you?" Tetsuo inquires, "Put it off any longer, and you will be biting yourself on the ass, like I said."

"And like I said, I'm willing to risk losing my friendship with her."

"Are you sure about that?" Kongo asked.

"Stop asking me so many questions!" Sora retorted. Despite all of there bickering, Tetsuo and Kongo can see Sora revolve and change in character. But still, he need help in the future, and they decided to stick around and help their clueless, and possibly spineless friend out.

(-After School-)

Sora is walking down the hallway. He's been thinking about how he's going to tell Kotonoha about her so called boyfirend's affiar with her best firend. "Now then, how to break the ice, and come out with it?" he muttered to himself.

"Amamiya." said a familiar voice from behind Sora. He turned around and saw Sekai. He started to scowl at her.

"What's with that look?"

"What look?" Sora scowled.

"That look!" Sekai retorted.

"Is that all?"

"Look, I know... you saw me and... Makoto..." Skeai began muttering. Sora stayed silent. "Are you planning to tell Katsura-san?"

"And if I am, are you planning to stop me?" Sora asked.

"... Well, if you are... can you tell her, that I'm sorry?" Sekai requested, and walked ahead of Sora.

Sora stood there silently as Sekai walked away. He sighed, and then just walked end.

(Sora) Why would Saionji ask me to tell Katsura-san she's sorry, and not tell her directly? Well, maybe she's just scared of what could happen. No surprise, I've been afraid as well, so I can understand her feelings, if not for my surprising growth of heart. Anyway, I can ponder this later. Right now, I'm just heading home. I wonder, what's gonna happen now? What the future brings, no one knows.

BW: And that ends Sky Days. To be honest, te only reason I'm ending it here, is because I feel like it took way too long, and I don't feel like worrying about it. Don't worry, I did say that I'm gonna continue the Sky Days series, but just at a later date. Until then, I hope you enjoyed Sky Days.
