Suga and I passed through the entrance of the amusement park. Since we were here on a field trip, we didn't have to pay for the entrance fee and were given a certain amount of tickets for rides and snacks. I could tell that most of the students were staring at us. Some looked at Suga in jealousy while others adored the sight of us together. I couldn't help but to blush the entire time as I tried my best to hide the shyness from Suga. I'm pretty sure he noticed because I noticed a smirk across his face.
"So Sai, what do you wanna do?" Suga asked, holding up the tickets while observing our surroundings. "There's a Ferris Wheel, you wanna go through that last?" Looking at him, I could see a hint of red across his cheeks. "Y-You know, since it's commonly a romantic thing to do."
I couldn't help but to giggle. I don't know why, but I'm actually glad the girls convinced me to go on this date with Suga. He really does seem like a nice guy and this is the perfect opportunity for us to get to know each other even more. "Yeah. Let's go there last." I said with a smile.
"Alright. What do you want do first?" He asked, scratching his face while feeling shy all of a sudden. I unknowingly grabbed Suga's hand and started dragging him to the first ride I had my sights on. "Roller Coaster!" I said in excitement. "Let's go on the roller coaster!"
With that, the two of us lined up and handed in our tickets. We sat at the front of the ride and enjoyed the thrilling sensation of the roller coaster. The ride was really fun due to the fact that the drop was close to 90 degrees and the screaming was the best part. I enjoyed the roller coaster but Suga looked like he feared it and tried to his his emotion.
"That was fun! I love roller coasters!" I shouted in excitement.
Suga sighed but smiled towards me. "At least you enjoyed it." He then placed a hand behind my back and motioned me to walk forward. "What next?"
I eyed the area and noticed some of our classmates lining up for some bumper cars. "There!" I shouted as I pointed towards the next ride. "Want to ride those bumper cars? We can take this opportunity to hit our classmates." I flashed a grin at him.
He couldn't help but to chuckle. I guess it's because my inner child-like behavior is amusing him. I can't help it though. I never really had a chance to go out and have fun since my life at Okinawa was boring. "Let's go." Suga said as he motioned me towards the next ride. Once we hopped on line, we were greeted by my girlfriends and Aso. Some of the 'perverted' guys from class were lined up as well.
"Oh? If it isn't Sai and Suga." Mikoto said while flashing her cheesy grin.
"I hope the two of you are having a blast." Eri said with a smirk as she secretly winked at me.
I couldn't help but to blush. My friends sure knows how to tease and embarrass me...
"Guys!" I shouted in embarrassment as I playfully slapped the two girls. I looked at Akira and she knew to stay silent. She's the smart one in this friendship. I then looked at Aso. He and Suga were whispering among each other. Makes me wonder what they're saying.
"It's our turn." Akira said as the employee asked us for our tickets. We all handed him three tickets and stepped through the turnstile. I quickly ran to a purple car that caught my attention since it matches my hair color plus it's my favorite color. I looked around and noticed that everyone else picked a car that matched their hair color as well. I chuckled at the irony of this.
"Well, hello there Sai~" I hear a voice call out to me in a flirty tone. I looked to my right and saw that it was Yoshidayama. "It's nice bumping into you."
I couldn't help but to laugh at the cheesy pun Yoshidayama made. "Nice bumping into you too. Just letting you know, I won't hold back on my driving skills." I looked at him with a gamer face on. At first, Yoshidayama was shocked to see my competitive look but then gave me the same expression. "Alright. If I get to knock you off, then it's my turn to go on a date with you."
Just then, Yoshidayama's car was bumped and he was pushed a couple feet back. The person that bumped into him was Suga. "Back off man! She got dibs on me!" Suga shouted. I laughed even more. Boys sure a funny.
"I'm coming for you Sai!" I heard Mikoto shouted towards me. I swiftly turned to my left to see Mikoto driving towards me. Just when she was going to bump me, I spun the wheel and stepped on the peddle. I was driving backwards to avoid getting hit by Mikoto. "Sorry Mikoto! But my driving skills are on point!" I shouted back as I kept driving in reverse, avoiding anyone that got in my way.
"Wow Sai! You managed to avoid Mikoto! Let's see if you can avoid me!" Eri shouted as she made her way towards me. I just kept driving around, bumping into some people while avoiding others. I make some U-turns to avoid a swarm of cars that were heading towards me and I sped off in a different direction. I was seriously having a blast with this!
It wasn't until someone actually hit my car that my streak came to an end. I turned to see who it was and I was stopped by Akira. She somehow got me from behind. "Got you." She said so calmly. I smiled towards her and gave her a thumbs up. "Good one Akira!"
She gave me one of her silent smirks and drove off to hit other people. Just as I was going to step on the pedal, I was T-boned by Suga. "Got you Sai." He said, flashing me a cheesy smile. "I guess you did." I said, returning the smile.
Our fun time with the bumper cars finally came to an end as each of us stepped off and exited through the turnstile. I couldn't stop smiling from the awesome time and fun I had with the bumper cars. I'm sure everyone else enjoyed their time as well. "Man, that was fun." Aso said. He was going to give Suga a 'high-five' but was soon grabbed by Mikoto and got dragged away from Suga and I.
"We'd love to stay and chat, but we're going to leave the two of you alone now!" Eri shouted as she winked towards the two of us.
"O-Oi!" Aso whined but when shrugged his shoulder at Suga while still being dragged away.
I still couldn't stop laughing. I noticed Suga looking at me. He seemed a bit dazed but soon looked away with a blush on his face. "Y-You seem really happy Sai." He said. I looked at him and smiled. "Of course! I actually get to spend time with friends. It's something I never had an opportunity to do at Okinawa."
He looked at me with his charming gaze and let out a wide smile. "Well then, I guess that's a good thing for me and everyone else!" "mmhmm!" I nodded my head and made a simple noise. Suga then looked around and noticed the tall pole with a giant clock on it. He was looking at the time. "You know, we only have a half hour left. Want to start lining up for the Ferris Wheel?"
I looked at the clock as well. When you're having absolute fun, time will seriously pass by really quick! "Let's go!" I said in excitement. With that, Suga and I walked side by side towards the Ferris Wheel. Once we were on line, I noticed that Tenma and Karasuma were lined up just ahead of us. I couldn't help but to chuckle at the sight of them. They were both silent but I could tell that Tenma is extremely nervous to go on that Ferris Wheel with Karasuma alone!
Now that I think about it, I'm going to be alone with Suga on this ride. Yet, why don't I feel nervous about being alone with him? How strange...
"Watch your step Sai." Suga said as he helped me inside the ride. "Thank you Suga." I said with a smile as I went inside the carriage and took a seat. Suga entered behind me and sat next to me. The employer closed the door, locked it and pressed the button to move the wheel.
We began elevating higher for a couple seconds but then came to a stop. It's always a common thing for Ferris Wheels, you get on, move for a couple seconds just for the next group of people to hop on. Once the entire ride was full of people, the wheel finally began moving. Our cart probably went full circles twice and on the third time, we came to a halt on the very top of the ride. I looked down to see the view and I could see the entire amusement park from the top and the sight was beautiful.
"Woah." I said in amazement. My breath was taken away as I could hear the same response from Suga. "Wow, it's pretty up here." He said. My eyes wondered every inch of the view, trying to keep a photographic memory of the sight. After a minute or so, I realized that we were still hanging on top. "Hm? Shouldn't we be moving to the bottom by now?" I questioned.
Suga tried to look down to see what was going on. "No clue. Who know's, maybe there's a problem with the ride?" He said, unsure of the situation. I took my eyes off from the view and sat back on the seat. "Well, I have no complaints. I like it up here." I said, smiling innocently. Suga did the same and sat next to me. I could feel our shoulders touching.
I did blush from this but I didn't feel nervous or felt any rapid heartbeats. That is strange, at the start of our date, I was all nervous and such, but now, I feel nothing? What does that mean?
"Uh..S-Sai?" Suga called out to me quietly. "Eh?" I looked at the red head and his face was flushed. "How do you like this date so far?" He asked.
I looked at his flushed face and smiled towards him. "Fun! I'm having lots of fun!"
Suga's smile grew wide as his face was still flushed. "That's good. W-What about the date spent with me?" He asked suddenly. "Eh?" I looked at him, surprised from his question.
Now that I think about it, I do find Suga charming and good-looking. However, I thinking of Suga as boyfriend material never crossed my mind. Could it be that I don't have strong feelings for him? Was I only attracted to him just because of his looks? I mean, sure he has a nice personality. He's funny, kind, charming, and cool. Unfortunately, I can't think of Suga as more than a friend. Maybe this date helped me realize that I just want the two of us to stay as friends. But how do I say this to Suga!? I feel so bad on leading him on unintentionally!
"What do you think of me? Now that our date is coming to an end?" He asked again. He seemed nervous since I was staying silent. All I could do was just stare at him. What do I say?
All of a sudden, the cart jerked and moved roughly. The cart shook a bit which caused us to lose our balance from sitting. "Ah!" "Gah!" We both yelped from the sudden movement. Suga was leaning close to me when he asked the question and the sudden movement caused him to completely lean towards my face. My eyes widened in complete shock.
Lips.
Lips are touching!
Our lips are touching!
Suga's lips are in contact with mine!
What is going on!? I screamed in my head.
With my eyes still wide, I could see that Suga's eyes are wide as well. Even though we were kissing, I couldn't help but to notice that there was no spark. My virgin lips was taken by Suga. Suga has taken my first kiss and I feel nothing. Not even a single blush came across my cheek. We both quickly parted ways and I held my fingers to my lips.
Suga's face was extremely red and he seemed to be in a panic. "I-I-I...I'm so sorry Sai! I-I didn't mean to steal your first kiss!" He shouted in a state of panic.
I kept my fingers at my lips and stared off in confusion. I honestly felt no spark or chemistry. I really don't have special feelings for Suga. "It-It's okay Suga..." I said to him quietly.
The Ferris Wheel was descending slowly while the two of us just stared at each other. Suga looked at me and touched his lips as well. It seemed he's deep in thought as well. "I...well..." He started speaking but wasn't sure what to say. "Did you feel anything? When we kissed?" He asked.
My eyes widened at his question. What do I say? "Uhmmm..." I wasn't able to speak up. Guilt swarmed through my mind. I'd feel terrible if I told him that I couldn't feel the chemistry. I don't want to break his heart.
Suga let out a defeated sigh and took a deep breath. "Please don't be sad with what I'm about to say." He spoke up. "Sai, I find you to be really cute, heck the cutest girl in class. But that kiss...I kinda didn't feel any spark in it. It seems strange, but I guess that moment made me realize that I can't see you as a girlfriend. I see you as just a friend." He sighed again and continued speaking, "Oh man. The guys will sure kill me for sure for this. But it's the truth Sai. I'm sorry if this is hurting your feelings."
I looked at Suga. I exhaled and sighed in relief. "Actually Suga, I thought the exact same thing." I said, smiling towards him. "I guess going on this date helped the both of us understand our feelings. We were just attracted to each other but in the end, we see each other as just friends."
He let out a small smile and nod his head. "Yeah. You're still cute though." Suga said as he lightly punched my shoulder. I couldn't help but to laugh at him. "You're such a silly person." I said.
As soon as we reached the bottom, the employees opened the door and let us out of the ride. It was time for us to head back to the bus and meet up with Mr. Tani. I looked at Suga and we both nodded our heads. "Friends?" I said. "Friends." He agreed with a smile. We shook our hands and met up with our friends when we got to the bus.
I met up with the girls and explained to them the entire situation. They all seemed sad to hear that Suga and I decided to remain friends and nothing more as our results from the date.
"Wah!? Really? Just friends?" Tenma said in disappointment.
"Sorry ladies, it's the truth. We really felt nothing when we kissed." I said.
Eri crossed her arms and shook her head. "How troublesome. We went through this trouble all for nothing."
"Argh!" Mikoto let out a cry of frustration. "Well this sucks. We thought the two of you would hit it off for sure. Oh well. I guess he's just not the one for you." She let out a heavy sigh.
"There's more fish in the sea." Akira said, reciting the cheesy line people always say when they can't find love.
I couldn't help but to let out a chuckle. She is right. There'll be another guy out there for me. Suga just isn't the one for me. I had forgotten to mention that the boys in class found out about our accidental kiss. Nishimoto yelled at Suga for breaking some sort of bro-code that they had but I didn't bother to understand what they were talking about. Fuyuki however shouted something along the lines of, "I still have a chance with her!" For the rest of the guys, they seem determined that I am no longer off limits.
"By the way..." I started speaking, turning my attention towards Tenma. "How was your alone time with Karasuma?" I asked, winking at her.
Tenma's face turned bright red as the other girls looked at her with devilish grins. "Did you had fun with Karasuma?" Mikoto asked her, nudging her shoulder.
"Heehee...well...it was fun being with him..." Tenma spoke quietly.
"Did something happen?" Akira asked.
Tenma's face pouted from the question. "Not really. We didn't really talk much. I just stuck by him the entire time. But he did say that he had fun at the amusement park."
"Well that's a good start!" Eri said as she snapped her fingers.
Mikoto raised her fist in the air, "Score one for Tenma!" She shouted.
We made it back to school in no time and it was already after school hours. Mr. Tani dismissed us when we exited from the bus and all the students started walking home. I was going to follow the girls on the walk home but I noticed a certain missing person within a good distance from the school bus. I ended up telling the girls to go home without me. I lied to them that I had something to take care of inside the school. They walked away and I approached the so called delinquent.
"What happened to you Harima?" I questioned while he was on his motorbike, starting the engine.
Harima took out his helmet and looked at me. "Oh. Hey New Girl." Was all he said. He didn't answer my question.
"Where did you go after our bus break? You disappeared when I got back on the bus." I said, repeating my question.
"Well, I hopped on the wrong bus by accident. It was my fault anyways, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." He answered nonchalantly.
Hopped on the wrong bus? That's such a silly thing to do. "How did you managed to get back to school? Were you lost?"
"Nah. I wasn't lost." He said. "I hopped off the bus and hitched a ride back. It was plain and simple."
I couldn't help but to giggle. I remember Suga mentioning that he always disappeared from class and reappear in the nick of time. So this is an example of Harima's disappearing acts. It's really funny.
"Well, the surprise trip Mr. Tani took us to was the amusement park. You missed out on all the cool rides and such." I said, smiling towards him.
Harima put on his helmet and revved up the motorbike. "I could care less about field trips. I prefer my own adventure like today's."
"Oh. I guess your disappearing act seemed fun." I said, giving him another smile.
"I suppose so." Harima said. "Judging by the look you're giving, I assume you had fun from the field trip?"
I nod my head and held a thumbs up. "You bet! I never had this type of fun from Okinawa so I was extremely happy!"
"That's good then." He said, giving me a thumbs up as well. "Well, if you excuse me New Girl, I have some business to take care of. I'll see you later."
With that, Harima stepped on the engine of the motor bike and drove off. I waved at him while he sped off and placed a hand over my chest. I could feel my heart beating fast. It wasn't like this when I was with Suga but I felt it with Harima. What does that mean?
Suddenly, I heard a faint sound of thunder and I looked at the sky. It was starting to get dark and gloomy up there. With that, I turned around and ran back home.
