TROUBLED LOVE
CHAPTER FOUR: MEMORIES OF THE PAST
A fourteen-year-old girl rushed to put on her school uniform. She was going to be late if she didn't leave right then! She quickly brushed her teeth and put her hair in pigtails. "Bye Mom! I love you! Come home safe!" the girl called behind her as she ran out the door.
"Bye Tohru-chan! Good luck at school!" a woman cheerfully shouted back as her daughter raced down the street. 'That's the fastest I've ever seen her run!' Kyoko-san thought to herself and laughed. The woman walked to her car and drove away.
As Tohru sped down road, she lost one of her shoes. She quickly put it back on, but before she could get up, a boy tripped over her hunched body and knocked the two over. "Gomen nasi! I should have been out of the way more! Are you all right!" Tohru-kun frantically said as she crawled over to the boy.
"Hai, I'm fine. Don't worry about it, I was in such a hurry I didn't see anyone. It was my fault." The boy lifted up his head to reveal a hazel-eyed boy with brown hair. Tohru-kun blushed slightly when she saw his face. It had a kind expression on it, and it made her heart skip a beat.
She snapped out of it and looked at his clothes. "Oh, you and I go to the same middle school!"
The boy looked at her and smiled. "I suppose we do! I better introduce myself. I'm Hikaru Jinshi. I'm pleased to meet you."
'What a nice person!' "I'm Tohru Honda. Which class are you in?"
The two found out Hikaru was only a year older than Tohru-kun. Then they stopped and gasped, "SCHOOL!" Hikaru grabbed Tohru's hand and showed her a shortcut. They had made it with a minute to spare. They then said good-bye and went to their classes.
F. U. R. U. B. A.
"So, Tohru, is he gonna meet up with ya later?" Uo-chan asked as she, Tohru, and Hana-chan ate lunch. Tohru-kun had said about the events that happened earlier that day, and she had been bombarded with questions about him.
"He didn't say, but it would be nice to see him again," Tohru-kun blushed as she thought of his smile. 'Why is my heart beating so quick?'
The blush didn't go unnoticed. "How sweet. Our little Tohru has a crush." Hana-chan said with a slight smile. "I've seen him before. He seemed to have fair waves, so I think he would be a fine match with you."
"Oh, no, um, I don't even think he likes me that way! I mean, there are probably many prettier girls than me in his grade. There's no reason why he should like me," Tohru-kun replied sadly.
The two friends looked at the saddened girl. This was one of the few times they saw her with a sad look.
F. U. R. U. B. A.
Tohru-kun was walking out of the school when she saw Hikaru. "Jinshi-senpai!"
He turned around. "Konnichiwa, Tohru-san! You don't have to call me Jinshi-senpai. You can just call me Hikaru."
Tohru-kun beamed. "Okay, Hikaru-kun! You can call me Tohru!" The two started walking to their homes. They saw an crepe place, where Hikaru-kun offered to buy her some. He walked her to her house (the two had learned a lot about each other by now) and he kissed her on the cheek. Tohru-kun blushed as he left…
Tohru-kun woke up from her dream and saw that it was 4:50 in the morning. She sighed and rolled onto her side. 'I haven't had a dream about him in so long. When Yuki-kun told me he loved me, I wanted to avoid telling him about Hikaru-kun. But when Kyo-kun confessed, I got so afraid. Afraid of falling in love again, and of someone getting hurt, like last time.'
Prettyinpinkgal: I think this chapter sort of stunk. U.U Anyway, I hope it helped make the story a little more understandable! Like why she didn't spazz when Yuki-kun confessed and stuff. Please review and stay tuned for the next chapter!
