hey, thanks for the reviews...
I'm sort of miffed, I mean, I just got back from two days of 'Math Camp'.
Yuck.
And I was sat next to this guy on the coach back and I think he likes me, but he's scary...
He kicked his cat in the head and killed it because it meowed at him 'too much'.
WTF?
I was like 'It probably wanted feeding, or it wanted a cuddle! You didn't have to kill it!"
and when he tried to argue back, I told him to either jump in quick sand or die in a mosh pit.
I was like... 'ewwwwww.......'
so, yeah, apart from maths and the scary boy, it was okay. Kind of. Sort of.
I played rounders with people I never really talked to and they cheered me on when before they wouldn't look at me. They were like "YES! GO *insert surname here*!!!" like I was one of them!
Anyways, enough of my weekend life story, time to read! and 7 to go!
We were led on my bed.
I'd curled into Takashi, and he had wrapped his arms around me, and had pulled me close, stroking my hair.
"That was... nice." he said, looking at me with a small smile on his face.
"Yeah." I mumbled back, pressing my face into his neck, so I could smell his cologne. It was new, it smelled like the earth... or something natural.
Then my phone started beeping, and 'Far Away' by Nickelback started playing.
I moaned, rolled over, and picked up the phone from my bedroom floor.
"Hello?"
"Hiya Rari! We're on the way back now."
"Cool, did you have fun?"
"Yeah, Kyouya knows how to treat a lady." she laughed, leaving a very suggestive innuendo in the air.
"Right... well..."
"How's it been with Takashi?" she asked suddenly. "We've been out long enough for you to... have fun."
"We've not done anything like that." I snapped, knowing full well what she was on about.
"Uh huh. You expect me to believe that?" she laughed.
"Yes. I do. We haven't done anything."
"Okay, fine, I believe you." she said, obviously not believing me.
"Okay, just come back safe."
"You're not my mum, Rari, I can take care of myself."
"Yeah, right. Just see you soon."
She hung up, without so much as a goodbye, and I shut my phone.
Takashi leaned over and raked his fingers through my hair.
"What didn't we do?"
"Have sex, or do anything of a sexual nature."
"Does groping count?"
"... No."
"Well, we're all good then."
I laughed slightly, then gave him a small shove. I stood up, smoothed out my shirt and pants, and looked at him.
"Come on you. If they walk in and find us in my bedroom, they're gonna expect the worst."
"You don't think they'll give us the benefit of doubt?"
"It's Lisa and Kyouya... what do you think?"
To this, he just laughed, climbed off my bed, smoothed out his shirt and pants, and then picked me up to carry me downstairs.
He set me down on the sofa, then went about locating his tie, blazer and bag so he could go.
Not long after he had gotten his shoes on and made himself look normal (minus Chance sitting at his feet with his head in Takashi's lap) did Kyouya walk in with Lisa, like they owned the place.
"Hello Saori, Mori sempai." said Kyouya, nodding, light glancing off his glasses, though I don't think he did it purposely this time.
"Hi Kyouya." I smiled, nodding to him. Takashi mumbled a hello, trying to get Chance to move, though the dog just didn't seem to want to.
"Aw, I think Chance wants you to stay." laughed Lisa, dropping to the floor and coaxing Chance away from Takashi.
"I think I'll have to go now, my father wants me back soon." said Kyouya, raising a hand in farewell, and leaving.
"Me too." mumbled Takashi, standing before he gave me a brief kiss and left after Kyouya.
"Bye." I sighed, sitting and leaning back in the chair. I looked at Lisa and smiled.
She looked really happy, and I'd have to ask what she did when out with Kyouya.
"Hey Lisa."
"Hmm?"
"Where did Kyouya take you? You stayed in Tokyo, right?"
"I don't know... it was a really nice place called Hakoni-Izu National Park. It was a bit of a drive, but when we got there, the sun was just setting over mount Fuji, and it was so beautiful."
"Wow, sounds nice."
"Yeah..." she sighed, going off dreamily.
"We should get to bed soon, tomorrow is gonna be a long day."
x x x x x
"Okay..."
"This is amazing..."
"Lisa. This is just a chance for them to show off to their parents. Many of them are gonna take over businesses when they're older, so by showing their enterprising capabilities in High School, it kind of shows that they are capable and sets the mold for when they get into collage and the real world."
She stared at me, as if 'wow, you sounded clever' and then trotted off to listen to Kyouya say exactly the same thing to Haruhi.
Then Takashi and Hikaru came around the corner with a horse drawn carriage.
"You handle the reins like a pro." I heard Takashi say to the twin, and Hikaru merely smiled and rubbed the back of his neck.
When Takashi saw me, he smiled brightly, telling me to climb up front. Everyone else got in the back of the carriage, and I sat myself neatly between Takashi and Hikaru.
Girls smiled and waved as we passed, so we smiled and waved back. Hikaru teased Kaoru about him not being able to steer the horses, and Haruhi chatted to Lisa about how over the top this whole thing was.
I, however, was left to my own devices.
It was kind of sad really.
I mean, Takashi and Honey were leaving soon. Sure, I'd still see them, but it was gonna be so strange to not see them at school for a year, especially as I've gotten so accustomed to seeing them.
And I'd had to keep it a secret for so long now.
"What's wrong?"
"Hm?"
Takashi nudged me. "What's wrong?"
"I'm just thinking." I muttered, cursing myself for giving away that I felt miserable.
Damn non-verbal communication.
"Tell me."
"Later."
"Why not now?" he asked, furrowing his brow and looking slightly confused.
"Just... later, okay hun?"
He sighed, shook his head and looked away.
"I just don't see why you can't tell me now."
"I just..." I sighed, breaking off.
"Don't want to say?" he asked, looking forward to the horses, brow still furrowed.
I sighed and looked away from him, and saw Hikaru looking forward too, his face set. He could hear us quite clearly.
Unfortunately.
I sighed once again and leaned back in the seat, trying to make myself as small as possible.
This might not end so well...
