School Rooftop
Kano's POV
After the bike incident with Kido, she seemed pretty mean and antisocial to me. Also, during the school entrance ceremony, I noticed someone staring at me. I turned and saw the same girl again. To be nice, I waved and smiled at her. She just completely ignored me and turned away. Then, at class, I found out that I sat right in front of her. How wonderful...She didn't even seem to notice me. After I introduced myself, I sat back down and was waiting for Kido to introduce herself. I think it took her like half a minute until she found out it was her turn to introduce herself. I was cracking up along with the class. Then, she said, "Ah. Sorry. My name is Tsubomi Kido. I like listening to music and have no interest in being friends with anyone, so don't bother talking to me." I thought that this was some kind of joke, but when I turned to face her, she had a serious look on her face. During the rest of class time, I kept thinking about my fellow classmate, Tsubomi Kido. So Tsubomi is her first name, huh. What an interesting girl...
She seems like the person who's hard to approach to, but I must admit that she did look pretty cute when she was embarrassed...WAIT WHAT?! Did I really just think that towards a girl I just met and don't even know. I need some fresh air to clear my mind. I decided to go to the school rooftop, but I did not expect to see the same girl I was just thinking about there too. I was just staring at her. She was just standing there in deep thought. Then, she must have sensed me and turned around. She looked at me with a cold glare and dark expression. I gulped.
"What? Are you some kind of stalker now?" She asked.
"What? Hey, I had no idea you were even here!" I replied.
Awkward silence...man what is up with these awkward silences and her.
I decided to break it. "What are you doing here all alone?"
"I'm not alone now since you're here."
"Then, what were you doing here all by yourself?"
There was another awkward silence, until Kido said softly and quietly,
" I just wanted to find a place to be alone. That's all..."
She wanted to be alone... But why? What's with this girl? I never wanted to feel alone.
I looked at the ground for awhile. Then, I looked up to face her and said, "Hey Kido..."
"What now?" She asked.
"Isn't it sad being all alone?"
Kido's POV
"Kido, isn't it sad being all alone?'
My eyes widened when I heard those words. The "idiot" said the same words she asked me. I still don't have an answer to that question. To me, I thought that I did not need anyone anymore as long as I had my iPod and headphones. My music would never leave me unlike everyone else. I didn't say anything back for a moment and then I asked the idiot, "Why did you come here?"
Kano blushed and said nervously, "Uhh...just wanted to clear my mind, something like that."
I said, "Then, why are you even talking to me? You're just wasting my time." I was about to leave. Then, Kano ran up to me and grabbed my hand.
I started, "Hey, What ar-"
"Let's hang out after school!" He said with his stupid smile.
"No and let go." I instantly said.
He looked back at our hands and his smile grew wider. "Nope. Not unless we hang out."
I was starting to get annoyed and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to hang out with me now?
"I want to be your friend!" He replied simply.
I looked at him, kind of shocked. "Well...uh...I don't want to be your friend!" It was the truth and I just wanted him to let go of my hand already.
The idiot grinned and said, " Then, I just won't let go of your hand. Oh what if we walked back with our hands like this? Everyone would think that we are a couple." He started dragging me to the door.
My face turned a little red. I don't want anyone to see me with this idiot. I tried to separate our hands, but he was gripping on it too tightly. We were getting closer to the hallway. I had no choice.
"OKAY, I"LL BE YOUR FRIEND! JUST LET GO OF MY HAND ALREADY, YOU IDIOT." My turned extremely red from embarrassment and anger.
He finally let go of my hand. The idiot smiled, winked, and teased, "Yay. You know, you seem kind of scary, but you're actually really cute when you're embarrassed. So can we hang out after school?"
I looked at him for a while. How can he smile like that all the time? Then, I realized what he had said. I blushed and kicked him.
"Do what you want." I said and walked back to class flustered.
Before I returned to class, I saw that the idiot was still smiling even after I kicked him? This one was kind of forced...
Kano's POV
She kicked me...SHE KICKED ME! I was just being friendly by giving her a compliment and she kicks me. During class after lunch, I made a list of words that described Kido.
Kido is:
Scary
Violent
Cute
Lonely
Creepy
Oh my god. This girl is just a MEAN weirdo to me. Why am I being friends with her again? Oh yea. She told me she wanted to be alone. I wanted to change that. I used to be alone all the time. I didn't want that, but Kido did. I just don't't understand her. If I become her friend, I can understand more about her.
Then, I made a list of questions about Kido I wanted to find out.
Why does she want to be alone?
Why was she listening to music earlier today?
What was she thinking of at the rooftop?
Why is she so violent?
What are we going to do after school?
Does she actually prefer being alone?
The school bell rang. Finally, the first day of school ended.
