Ah! Finally! I had a lot of things to work on that's why I couldn't update, guys. Sorry. Anyways, my second story 'VocaTalk' has gotten reviews and I'm working on my 5th chapter. Check it out please. So, let me check. Hmmm . . . . well last time, Len and Rin finally presented their project. So we are time skipping all the way to Saturday where Miku and Kaito are having their first 'date'. I got some of the parts of this chapter from the song Melt by Miku. Sweet song. Bye!
Enjoy!
Rin: You're in a hurry today. What's the matter? Is the world ending in 24 hours? Oh no! My oranges! I left them unguarded!
Andy: No, it's not the apocalypse. I'm just missing my favorite show of the day that starts exactly at this hour. So, BYE!
Rin: Geez. And I thought it was something else. Oh forgot! MY ORANGES! WHERE ARE THEY?!
Miku's POV:
I woke up and the first thing I thought was Kaito. Today is Saturday! Finally! I've been counting down the minutes until our . . .d . . . . well, you can't call it date, that's for sure. Though, it'd be awesome if we were a couple. Geez! I can't even talk to him normally without stammering a lot or turning red in the face. It's just that when I look at his face my stomach does back flips and I feel nervous all of a sudden. I get out of bed and go to the bathroom. No! Today I will let him see me in another way. I cut my hair a bit differently. I wonder if he'll notice? I wore my favorite pleated pink skirt and white barrettes to hold my hair in my usual pigtails. Should I wear a different hairstyle? Maybe a ponytail? No. I'm getting way obsessed over this. We are just hanging out as friends would. Sadly. I put my cute sunflower clip in my hair which Rin gave me on my 8th birthday. I wore a white thin sweater and dashed out.I just HAD to wake up at 9:30 right? Geez, what if he's not there? Maybe he got tired of waiting for me and left. Or worse. What if he invited another girl to go in my place? All of those doubts disappeared when I saw a blue haired handsome boy waiting at a corner. I shouted his name and felt embarrassed when a lot of people looked at me like I was crazy. I walked towards him and we walked to Big Al's in silence. Kaito sounds pretty quiet. I wonder what's wrong? What if he's sick? OH no! What if he was sick, but didn't want to disappoint me and waited for me a lot, and now that I came is mad at me for taking so long, also he's in a bad condition?! I should apologize.
I spoke,
"Um . . . .Kaito are you mad at me?"
I saw Kaito turn around and I finally saw his face in a look of confusion.
"What are you talking about?"
"Well . . . um . . " Geez! Not again! I'm getting nervous. But who wouldn't under those beautiful deep blue eyes of his. "Since you were not talking to me and were facing away from me, I thought you were mad that I came late"
He scratched his head and said, "Sorry. It's just that since you and I don't talk often I got a little nervous. I wasn't mad and you didn't come late, I just came one minute early"
I blurted out, "Aren't you sick!?"
"Sick? Of what?"
"Well, I thought I came late and since you didn't want to be a bad friend, came here when you were sick"
I saw him trembling and then . . . . .he laughed. His face looked so happy that I laughed as well. I felt his eyes on me, but I still smiled. This feels so normal. I never thought I could talk and laugh with my crush without blushing or stammering all the time. I'm going to thank Rin later. He got quiet and saw him cover his face. Why was he covering his face?
Some minutes later, we were in Big Al's. The place was not that big but not small either. There were some people there. The man at the counter was a big bulky man that you wouldn't think would run an ice cream store, instead you probably might think he's those guys on TV wrestling. This guy was Big Al.
"Oh hi, Miku!" Big Al is one of Rin's Uncles. So I know him.
"Hi Big Al"
"See you brought a friend, or a boyfriend to be exact". I blushed at the last comment, but I tried to ignore the blush or Big Al's smirk. Thank Goodness Kaito didn't see my face he would immediately think something was wrong. He was behind me. I couldn't see his face, but I'm pretty sure he heard Big Al too.
"Um . . . I want vanilla and strawberry, please. What about you Kaito?"
I looked at his face. His face looked serious, something that you rarely see on a boy who always gives silly answers and is a total goofball.
"Are you okay, Kaito?"
"Hmm. Yeah. I pick . . . . . a banana split!" Of course! I forgot. Kaito is seriously obsessed with ice cream. He was choosing the one he wanted most, which must be difficult since he loves any kind of flavor. We got our ice cream and ate. There was this peaceful silence in the air. I watched as he ate his ice cream. Enjoying every single moment of it. He looked at me.
"You want to try?" If I say no, would it be rude? All I know is that if I tell him that I was seeing him because I have a crush on him would not be good. I nodded. What I didn't see coming was that instead of giving me the spoon, he held the spoon with a bit of the banana split on it, right to my face. WHAT!? Did he want to spoon feed me?! I felt myself get a bit uncomfortable. If I deny this, then I might hurt his feelings, and I'm enjoying our not-a-date-hanging-out thing. I accepted it. It was really yummy. I looked at Kaito's face, Was he blushing? No. Probably my imagination, when I looked back at him he was eating his ice cream like he was doing a few minutes ago. He was looking at my ice cream. Of course, he wants a taste. I held the cone to his face so he try it. I didn't want him to see my face. We kept eating, when we finished we decided to pay Big Al. I got out my money bag and was about to pay, when Kaito got a 20 out and held it to Big Al to take. Big Al gave him a bit of change and we walked out.
"Hey, you know I could have payed for my ice cream, right?"
"I know"
"Then why'd you pay for me?"
"Because I thought that since I'm a guy I should be paying"
"oh . . . . . well . . . . um . .Thank you"
" Your Welcome"
I looked at my watch, Oh man, we stayed in Big Al's for almost a whole hour. Though it makes sense. We were talking about many things. School, life, friends, college, and we even talked about random stuff. We laughed, and I didn't feel awkward anymore. I felt at ease. We did the same things we did in Big Al's. We talked and laughed some more.
" So, me and Len were walking, when we saw a small girl urging her cat to get down from the tree, Len, somehow feeling heroic, told the girl that he would get it down for her, he climbed up the tree and made weird sounds saying 'here, kitty kitty'. It was quite a sight, and many people stopped to watch the boy and the cat. Finally the cat took a step forwards, and Len grabbed it by its stomach, it was a surprise for the cat, and tried to wriggle away from Len, the cat scratched Len and jumped into the arms of the girl. You should have seen Len's face! It looked like he just saw a flying pig! dumbstruck!"
" Ah! You should have filmed it! Or taken a picture of his face! I would pay to see that."
"Anybody would"
We talked more about the scenario and laughed at it. When I heard a yell,
"KAITO!"
We looked behind us, Kaito's face looked sour for a minute, but as she got closer, he smiled. The girl had spiky red hair tied up into a ponytail, a simple long-sleeved dress black and red, knee-high striped leggings and boots. She instantly grabbed his arm and started asking him non-stop questions. Finally, she looked at me. Checking me out. Not in the way a guy does to a girl, but more like checking me to see if I had anything wrong wiht me so she could probably tell her friends, "Hey, this loser girl was hanging out with Kaito", and such. The red-haired girl was holding his arm tightly, and I could tell Kaito's face seemed uncomfortable. I somehow felt disturbed. Couldn't the girl tell he didn't feel comfortable? Finally, she asked, "Who is that girl?". Kaito's face turned more at ease, maybe because he could finally answer at least one of her questions.
"This is Miku Hatsune. Miku meet CUL"
So that was the girl's name. CUL. I should remember that, we could talk about her while walking to the music store that he said had a great choice of popular music.
"Oh! Nice to meet you, Miku" She smiled with a sickening sweet smile.
I bowed, "Nice to meet you as well, CUL" I didn't smile. I am not really good at faking, So I just put on my most expressionless face as possible.
I saw as CUL used the same smile to ask Kaito, "So are you 2 dating?"
I don't know why, but I somehow had my hopes up, wishing that maybe Kaito would give me a hint if he liked me by answering CUL's question.
" No. Not at all. We're just friends. That's all." I saw him smile sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck. If I hadn't heard what he said, if I had covered my ears, or misinterpreted it, then maybe I would have thought that he looked cute. But, that response kept weighing down on me. Filling my head with those hopes that said, 'Maybe he likes me too'. When I knew deep inside my heart that it was all 'ifs' and 'maybes' and that all I was, was, as he said,
Just Friends.
Somehow, all my fantasies seemed foolish and childish. Had I really believed me and him could have something?
I feel like crying. I feel like screaming into my pillow. I. Am. An. Idiot.
I can't go home.
I'm right in front of the guy who was the first who made me feel this way. And probably the first that has left me heartbroken. I can't cry now. Not in front of them. I can't breathe. I feel like I'm drowning in these sad feelings. I have to escape.
I can't look at them. Not at the boy who has those perfect deep blue eyes, nor at the girl who has a smirk on her face.
With my bangs covering my face, I said, "Um . . . .Sorry, But I have to go . . . I forgot I had something to do" And with that I ran.
With all my might. I don't know where I'm going, or what direction, but I have to go somewhere far away from them. I heard the sound of my name being called by a familiar voice, but I just kept running faster. My vision is getting blurred by all the tears. I wiped them away but more keep coming. I heard the rustle of the leaves. I'm at the park. I stood there sobbing and crying. No one is here. But why should I care? I feel so broken down. I don't know what hour it is. I don't care. I want these feelings to come out. I heard the soft pitter patter of rain. It's raining. No one now can tell I'm crying. Thank you, Mr. Sky. It became more harder, like it knew how much pain I had, and empathized with me. I got to get shelter. I can't go to my mom's house drenched like a wet dog. There was no shelter nearby, so I went and sat down next to the tree. If this was a manga, a handsome guy would come with an umbrella at hand to pick me out of my misery. Sadly, it can't be like that. I wonder where Kaito and CUL might be? Probably wondering why I escaped. In one day, we became friends and got to learn more about each other, and in one day my heart has been broken by that 'friend'. How pathetic. What will I tell Kaito on Monday? He'd probably ask what happened. Could I even tell him anything? I couldn't even look him in the eyes, what about on Monday? Ugh! It hurts my head just thinking about it. It's funny how in the morning I felt so happy, and now I'm laughing at how idiotic my thoughts this morning were. I finally felt a figure looming over me.
"Hello pretty girl, you look lost, how about I lent you some nice clothes for you to dry at my house?". His breath stunk of alcohol and he also looked like in his late 40's. He wore a business man suit. If he was not intoxicated, I could have said "no" and maybe he'd leave me alone, but, he's drunk. Drunk men do crazy things.
"No thank you" But instead of letting me be, he grabbed my shoulder. I tried wriggling away, but he was far more stronger than me. I told him to let me go, but he kept ignoring me. I even tried to punch him and bite him, but it had no effect. Will this really happen to me?
"Sir, the girl said that she didn't want to go, or did you not here correctly?" A deep voice was heard at the back. The man looked surprised.
Who is . . . . .that?
Hahahahaha! I'm so evil! I left a cliffhanger. So who do you think it is?
Rin: Hey, can I tell?
Andy: I forbid you to. If you tell, I'll tell your darling master that you've been a bad Rin and that you deserve punishment. Master might decide to take away your oranges for ONE WHOLE MONTH.
Rin:*gasps* You monster!
Andy: Jill, tell her what she shouldn't do to cause such a misfortunate event to happen
Jill: Simple. Just don't tell the readers who the mystery person is
Rin: . . . . .Fine
Andy: Great. Anyways, If you have any questions or comments. REVIEW! Pwease!
Len: Psst. FYI: The review box is down
Andy and Rin: WHEN DID YOU GET HERE!?
