"I win!" I shout to Kazune.

"No you don't! You cheated!"

"Just because I shoved you to the wall doesn't mean I cheated." I say giggling at the red mark on his forehead.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever." He grumbles. He sits down in a chair across from Himeka-chan and crosses his arms.

"Are you gunna sit down or what? Idiot." He says. I turn towards him and shout,

"Where am I supposed to sit!?" He looks up at me and blushes a little bit.

"S-Sit down next to me." I blush too and sit next to him. Himeka-chan giggles and gets up.

"W-Where are you going Himeka!?" "Himeka-chan!?" Kazune and I shout at the same time. We both look at each other and blush. Himeka-chan bursts out laughing and says,

"I'm just going to get the food." She walks into the kitchen without another word. We sit in uncomfortable silence waiting for Himeka-chan to come back. This is so weird. The silence is killing me! I glance over at Kazune at the same time he glances over at me. I yelp and look away quickly. Gah! What was that!? I press my hands over my flushed cheeks. Calm down Karin. Calm. Down. I breathe in and out. When suddenly a hand touches my cheek. I look over and my breath hitches in my throat.

"Are you ok? You look kind of red." Kazune says staring into my eyes. I get redder, if possible, and turn away from him.

"N-No! Nothing's w-wrong!" I shout stuttering. He takes his hand away from my face and crosses his arms over his chest.

"I didn't care anyway! You just looked like you might have passed out. And Himeka would blame it on me!" He huffed. I frown. But it soon turns into a smile when Himeka-chan walks in with plates of food. She sets them down and looks between me and Kazune.

"What did you do to her Kazune-chan?" She sighs.

"See!" He shouts at me and extends a hand out to Himeka-chan. He looks back at her.

"I didn't do anything! She just started blushing like an idiot!" He yells pointing at me.

"I am not an idiot! AND I WASN'T BLUSHING!" I shout. We glare at each other before Himeka-chan says,

"Who wants firsts?" I look away from him and look at the Chow Mein. "I would." I squeak out. Himeka-chan smiles and serves me. I sit and eat using my chopsticks. As soon as the food enters my mouth I love it.

"This is so good Himeka-chan!"

"Thank you Karin-chan. It's nothing."

"You should become a chef one day."

"That would be nice. Thank you for the compliment Karin-chan." She smiles and after she serves Kazune she begins eating. During dinner we eat and joke around. I laughed more than I usually would that night. When it was time for me to go I gathered my stuff and thanked them for having me over.

"Kazune-chan! Walk Karin-chan home!" She yelled smiling.

"No! Why do I have to!?" He yelled scowling.

"Because it's dark and she can't walk home by herself." Himeka-chan stated simply. He sighed and went to get a sweater. When he came back downstairs he opened the door and began walking out. Jerk!

"Thank you for dinner Himeka-chan!" I yell running after Kazune. He's a head of me with his hands shoved into his pockets.

"Wait up you idiot!" I shout. He stops walking and waits. When I finally catch up to him I look at his face. Why's his face pink? Or is it just the light? I sigh and start walking. I don't hear him follow me so I turn around and see him still standing there with a small frown. I roll my eyes and walk up to him. I stare at him for a couple of seconds until, I finally grab his hand. I pull him down the sidewalk to my house.

"W-what are you doing?" He asked.

"You weren't moving so . . ." I trail off suddenly very aware that he is no longer behind me but, next to me. And we're holding hands. Holding hands. Huh. His hand is warm though . . .

"-rin? Karin!" I blink and look up at him.

"Are you ok?"

"Just peachy." I say.

When we finally get to the front of my house he lets my hand go. Aww. The warmth in my hand going away, leaving it cold. He looks away from me when he walks up to me and kisses my forehead. I look up at him in surprise. His cheeks are a faint red now.

"What!?" He shouts.

"Nothing." I say smiling up at him. "Thank you for walking me home."

"No problem." He says shrugging. I smile and walk up to him.

"Good night." I say getting on my tippy-toes and kissing. . .
