This chapter will be in Rima's POV and what her life is like.
I don't own Shugo Chara, please enjoy!
This takes place the day after Amu comes to the café.
[Chapter 15]
Why do I always get stuck doing utmost horrible things! Taking all the trash out when my favorite comedy show is starting! I even had to take the trash out that was in the bathroom. Gross! Usually my mom would be doing this stuff, but no. She just had to be going out somewhere 'random' for work.
After finally getting the trash out, I flopped down unto the couch, watching the last bit of the comedy show. "Bala-Balance!" Oh how I love that pose!
I turned the TV off and turned my head toward the phone. Should I call him? What would we possibly talk about? Homework? Yeah, that's good. I'll ask him about homework! I picked the phone up and dialed in Nagi's number. It rung twice before a female picked the phone up.
"Hello, this is the Fujisaki residents." I think it was Nagi's mom.
"Is Nagi home?" I asked timidly.
"Yes, please hold on a second." All of a sudden, I felt nervous. I didn't need help on homework! We didn't have homework today! Oh my God! I'm freaking out!
"Nagihiko here." His voice is so amazing…
"H-hey Nagi-kun… It's Rima." I waited for a reply, but all I heard was a little 'eep'.
"Hey Rima-chan. What do you need?" He asked. Oh God… What did I need? Then, all I could come up with was the truth.
"I just wanted to talk to you…" I said quietly. I heard him laugh a little. "Don't make fun of me!" I yelled.
"Don't worry. I'm glad you just wanted to talk to me. It's cute." He told me. "Well, now that we're on the phone, let's talk." He said.
"About what?" I blurted. Woops. That wasn't supposed to sound that way.
"Well, uh… Honestly I don't know. I've never had a girlfriend before. Maybe couples talk about marriage and babies and se-"
"Don't finish that sentence!" I screamed. He laughed hard and I ended up giggling a little, too. "If that's what couples talk about on the phone, that's just creepy! Planning out a whole future is just… weird. Don't you think?" I asked him. Hopefully he agreed. Or maybe he was going to disagree and say something 'wise' like, "Actually, planning your future is good and blah blah blah."
"Yeah. It is." He said. Good. "So, we're scratching those conversations off the list." He laughed. I laughed along with him. "Okay, maybe we could talk about… a date?" He asked. I panicked. A date? With just the two of us?
"A date? L-like, just the two of us?" I asked.
"Yeah. It would be fun." Easy for you to say! "We could go somewhere cool like… a concert. Or even just the movies." He told me. Those two are very good choices…
"Movie! Concert is too noisy and we wouldn't even be able to talk through it." I told him. I could tell he was smiling.
"When do you want to go? Tomorrow after school?" He asked. Let's see. Today's Tuesday, tomorrow's Wednesday. "I'll check showtimes right now for some of the movies. Be right back."
"Okay." I told him. I waited for him to get up the list of movies.
"Okay. I know a movie that you'll laugh a lot at." Comedy? Oh yeah! "It's called The Hangover. It plays tomorrow at four o'clock. It's an hour and fifty minutes so it'll end at around six o'clock, a little before that." Perfect! The movie and then I can come back home in time to watch my Comedy show at six! This is perfect!
"Yeah! We'll watch that. Well, I have to go eat something for dinner now, Nagi. I'll see you tomorrow!" I told him.
"Okay. Bye Rima-chan."
"Bye." I hung up the phone and jumped into the air. "I'm going on a date with Nagi!" I screamed. I ran to the kitchen to find something quick to eat. It was six forty-five at night and I go to bed at eight. So I have fifteen minutes to eat so that I have an hour to pick my clothes for tomorrow. Ha, since when did I care what I wore so much? Since I got a boyfriend!
I found a packet of quick ramen. I put that into a pot and blah blah blah. I ate quickly with my choppy-sticks. Yeah, I call them choppy-sticks. When I finished, I washed my bowl along with the pot and I went upstairs. I opened my closet, and for some reason, this time a shining gold light came out as if my closet was Heaven. Or was I just imagining that?
I walked in and looked around. I decided something simple. Something simple that would make me look just beautiful and sophisticated. I decided to wear white capris, a blue undershirt, and a white jacket over it. I looked around and found my white flip flops, too. It was a simple outfit. Nothing special about it. I went to my dresser and found a blue barrette that I could put in my hair. I went to the mirror and found myself looking really cute. I smiled and changed into my pajamas.
I looked at my clock and I had been rummaging through my closet for half an hour now. Even though I was going to sleep in thirty minutes, I felt really excited and happy. I tried to calm myself down when I laid down. Wow, either I'm really good at controlling myself, or this bed is just really comfy and it makes me really tired. I closed my eyes and I fell asleep, snap, like that.
~Next Day~
I woke up early and took a shower. After that, I put on the outfit I chose last night. Now that I was completely awake from my shower, I was beginning to get excited about the movies today. I went downstairs and found my mom making me breakfast.
"Hey mom. What time did you come home last night?" I asked her.
"Around ten o'clock. Work really holds me up." She told me. I saw bags under her eyes. Sometimes I get really concerned about my mom when it comes to work. Since my dad left, she's been a little happier. Still, work is pushing her into stress.
"You should take a break once in a while, mom. Just ask if you can have a week off since you work so much. I'm sure they'd let you off." I did a silly face by grinning.
She smiled a little and patted my head. "Thank you, Rima. I'll do that." I ate my breakfast and walked out of the house with my bookbag. Sometimes I wish I didn't have to walk to school again. Now that my high school is a lot closer to my house, I have to walk.
Once I reached school, I saw Kukai and Nagi talking at the gate. They were laughing and stuff. I analyzed Nagi's outfit. It was casual. Jeans, a long sleeved shirt, and a scarf. (This is casual for Nagi) I love how Nagi always looks good.
"Hey guys." I said once I got closer to them. Nagi shot his eyes toward me. Ooh, scary.
"Hey Rima-chan." He leant down and kissed my cheek. I smiled and Kukai eyed us and smiled widely.
"You guys… are so… Cu-" I hit Kukai on his shoulder. Hard. "OW! What was that for?!" He yelled.
"It's embarrassing when you call us cute! You freakin' weirdo!" I yelled. He rolled his eyes while Nagi was cracking up. I sighed.
"Rima-chi! Nagi-kun! Kukai-kun!" I heard behind me. I felt someone throw their self on me.
"Yaya, I told you to stop doing that." I pouted. Yaya stuck her tongue out at me. All I could do was sigh and let it go.
We all went to class when I noticed. Where's Tadase? I didn't see him at the gate this morning. I wonder if he doesn't feel good. He left the café yesterday pretty fumed. I bet it's because Amu has a boyfriend. Oh yeah! Amu has a boyfriend. I wish I could meet him…
I hated how in this class, Nagi sat five million feet away from me. He sat all the way on the other side. Well, he sits next to me in every other class, so yeah. Next class came quickly. Nagi rushed over to me and sat.
"Hey Rima-chan." He said. I put my hand out and he eyed me suspiciously. "Do you want me to hold it or what?" Nagi needed permission to hold my hand or put his arm around me. It was just my rule.
"Hold it." I said. He then put his hand on top of mine and blushed. I still felt embarrassed. Since all the people in class know we go out now since Kukai announced it the other day… to everyone! Now that everyone knew, they always look up at us to see if we're doing anything lovey-dovey or something. It gets annoying.
After School
I stuffed all of my books into my locker and took my cell phone out. I pushed home in the phone book and called. The message machine went off. "Mom? If you get home before I do, I'm at the movies with Nagi. I'll be back at six around there. Love you." I hung up and put the phone in my pocket and hurried off to the gates of school. I saw Nagi waiting leaning against the wall. I rushed toward him and he held his hand out.
"Ready to go?" He asked. I took his hand and smiled.
"Ready." We went to the movies by paying a taxi driver to take us. In the backseat, Nagi and I were arguing of where we would sit in the theater.
"In the front. Everything's bigger that way." I told Nagi.
"In the back. You can see everything clearly and you won't have to look up and strain you neck." He told me.
"I've always had a booster seat so I don't have to strain my neck." Woops… embarrassing!
Nagi ended up dying of laughter, "You have to use a booster seat!?" Sure I was short but… Oh dang it! He laughed and laughed. Embarrassing!!!
"Shut up or you're not holding my hand for the next week." I commanded. He shut up but kept a smug look on his face. "We're sitting in the back…" I muttered.
"Yes!" I rolled my eyes and waited to get to the movie theater.
Once we got to our seats, Nagi and I shared a big tub of popcorn. We didn't put the arm rest down so that we could scoot closer to each other. There was like, no one in the theater yet. There were still thirty minutes before the movie started. I felt uncomfortable. Nervous was the reason.
"Rima." Nagi said. I looked toward him and noticed how close our faces were. "Do you really like me?" He asked. For some reason, I couldn't come to answer. I just stared at him. It's all I could do. "Rima?" I opened my mouth to answer but the words wouldn't spit out! Nagi's face became doubtful and hurt. I felt so bad.
"Nagi of course I like you." I told him finally. His face was still doubtful. Oh no.
"Are you sure? You're not just saying that?" He asked.
"I'm positive Nagi. I really like you." I told him. He looked me right in the eye and smiled. He leaned in swiftly and kissed me. It was an awkward kiss. But I bet this is how all first kisses are. I've never kissed a guy before. Nagi has never kissed a girl before. It's bound to be awkward!
After the movie… All we did was hold hands and snuggle!
I got home and rushed to my TV and turned the power button on.
"Comedy! Comedy!" I cheered. I watched the whole show cracking my ass off. "Bala-Balance!" I yelled at the end when they did it. I smiled and turned the TV off.
My mom still hasn't gotten home. I noticed since she wasn't in the kitchen. She's always in the kitchen. I sighed and went upstairs to do my homework. I had math. I had a hard time doing it. We were working on algebraic strategies and I just couldn't get it! I stared off and found my cell phone. I grabbed it quickly and called Nagi's house.
"Hello, this is the Fujisaki Residents. This is Nagihiko." I beamed at his courtesy.
"Hey Nagi. It's Rima." I said. "I need help with homework."
Nagi helped me for thirty minutes explaining to me how the strategies work. After those thirty minutes, we talked more, and more. We didn't stop! We talked for an hour and a half before I heard my mo come home from work. It was eight o'clock.
"Hey Nagi, I gotta' go to bed." I told him.
"Okay then. I'll see you tomorrow, Rima. Good night." He said."Goodnight, bye." I sighed. I love Nagihiko!
