Me: How do you like the story so far?
Keith: meh
Me: *angry glare at Keith*
Karrie: I love it
Kellyn: You don't see me complaining
Me: I'm glad to get such great responses from the Hajimes. Um, Kate?
Kate: It's nice, I'm just a little bit worried right now
Keith: I'm going to complain about how we don't get any breaks

Chapter 3: A Meeting
"So he shut the door and locked with only the intent of stopping you from getting away with letters?" asked the principal.
"Yes," Kate replied.
"So how did this lead up to him kissing you?" asked the principal. Kate blushed.
"Um, well, uh, I'm guessing you'll want every detail," replied Kate and the principal nodded. "Well, you see..." she began telling the principal what had happened as best as she could.
All of the shouting and talking was annoying Kellyn. 'Violation of School Rules concerning PDA,' hah, what he did wasn't even done in public. Sure he had displayed some affection, but not in public, they might as well call it private display of affections if he was going to get nailed for PDA. They talked about how it could scar Kate for life, how he should be ashamed of himself, and how they might end up making sure he went to a different high school then Kate. He loved his parents but they didn't seem to understand how he felt about it, and he knew that, despite the fact that Kate never confessed, she mostly felt about it the same way. Man, if they wanted him to just apologize to Kate and her parents, then fine. He wasn't sorry that he kissed her, he was sorry he didn't get to explain himself completely.
"You know, you keep on talking as if you all know Kate so well, that you know exactly how's she's feeling, what exactly she wants! But you barely know her at all! And what's worse is that you don't even ask for her opinion! You don't care about her at all, all you care about is getting me in trouble for once!" yelled Kellyn out of frustration. He got up and stormed out of the room and slammed the door shut.
After Kate explained every thing to the principal, she waited for him to say something. Just as he was about to say something, an attendant came and whispered something to the principal. Whatever it was had to be about her and Kellyn. It was after the attendant left that he finally spoke.
"It sounds like you care about Mr Hajime a lot Miss Hitomi," said the principal and then he chuckled, "and it sounds like Mr Hajime cares a lot about you." Kate found herself blushing even though she was baffled by what the principal had just said. "I was just informed that Mr Hajime yelled, quote, 'You know, you keep on talking as if you all know Kate so well, that you know exactly how's she's feeling, what exactly she wants! But you barely know her at all! And what's worse is that you don't even ask for her opinion! You don't care about her at all, all you care about is getting me in trouble for once!' and stormed out and slammed the door."
"Kellyn..." replied Kate in awe. The old man was right, Kellyn did care a lot about her.
"As sweet as the act may seem, they're thinking of putting disciplinary charges on him." said the principal.
"What? They can't! Not Kellyn!" gasped Kate.
"But, they've decided that instead he's to apologize to you and your parents for what he did, you know the kiss, and he's to apologize to those that were at his meeting for yelling, storming off, and slamming the door." replied the principal.
"At least they're not sending him away." said Kate quietly.
"Hmm, is that it Miss Hitomi?" asked the prinicpal.
"But, why make him apologize for something he's not sorry that he did?" asked Kate.
"Are you saying that he might not feel sorry that kissed you?" asked the principal.
"Yes." replied Kate. "And you know what? I'm not sorry that kissed me either!"
"Miss Hitomi!" exclaimed he principal.
"I liked it, and I probably enjoyed it more than I probably should have. And if we had to start that whole thing over again, I wouldn't change a single thing about it!" proclaimed Kate.
"Sir, the Hitomis are here to see you," said a female voice on the loud speaker.
"Bring them in," replied the principal with a sigh. Soon her parents came into the room hugging her and kissing her and oh how she wanted to make them stop. "Miss Hitomi, do you mind stepping outside for a moment while I talk to your parents?" Kate was never so happy to hear him say ever. She quickly bowed her head in respect and then left while closing the door as quietly as possible. She immediately started to look for Kellyn. Her search was short lived when she spotted him sitting on a bench nearby the principal's office. Though he looked down and dejected, Kate was so happy to see him. She ran to him, despite school rules saying not to, and accidentally found out why you weren't supposed to run in school the hard way when she slipped and then tripped on her way over. Although the funny thing is, she didn't feel herself hitting the cold floor. Someone had caught her just in time. Someone who's scent was very familiar.
Damn that girl! She knows you're not supposed to run in hallways. Thought a Kellyn who could have sworn he was about to have a heart attack when he saw her fall. He had caught he just in time though. The way he caught her wasn't the most graceful nor romantic thing ever. Her face was almost right into his stomach but he knew he had to get her upright before there was a misunderstanding. So he casually helped her unto her feet only to have her hug him so fast immediately afterward that you would have thought that there was some kind of magnetic pull between them.
"Kate," said Kellyn desperately.
"Thank you, Kellyn." replied Kate.
"For what?" asked Kellyn, puzzled.
"For, for everything," replied Kate. "For being a great friend, for standing up for me during your meeting, and-"
"You heard about what I did at the meeting?" asked Kellyn, embarrassed.
"The principal told me." replied Kate. "'You know, you keep on talking as if you all know Kate so well, that you know exactly how's she's feeling, what exactly she wants! But you barely know her at all! And what's worse is that you don't even ask for her opinion! You don't care about her at all, all you care about is getting me in trouble for once!' I believe it was."
"Yep, the exact wording too, minus the fact you forgot to add my tone of voice." replied Kellyn.
"I didn't think you wanted to draw too much attention." replied Kate.
"You've always been so considerate." said Kellyn. "Now, I believe I interrupted you earlier."
"Oh, yeah, uh," said Kate while turning bright red. "for-for the-the k-k-kiss."
"You're thanking me for kissing you?" asked Kellyn. Boy was this a surprise to him. He didn't expect Kate to bring up the kiss let alone thank him for it.
"Y-y-y-yeah."replied Kate turn even more red.
"So you liked it?" asked Kellyn and when he saw her nod her head yes he could have sworn he soared past the stars.
"K-k-kellyn?"asked Kate shyly.
"Yeah?" asked Kellyn.
"Do you-? Did you-? Um, do you-?"Kate tried to asked. He stopped her, though she was already as red as red can be and he knew he was starting to blush as well.
"Let me ask you this: do you think I would have kissed you if I didn't have feelings for you?" said Kellyn.
"No," replied Kate.
"Good," replied Kellyn, glad that she had some concept of how he felt for her. Then he noticed her parents making their way towards them. Luckily, Kate wasn't still hugging him or her parents may have gotten the wrong idea. "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Hitomi."
"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Hitomi." Kate had heard Kellyn say. She looked up to see her parents beaming with happiness and she knew it wasn't because her and Kellyn have gotten, ah, a bit closer.
"Why hello Kellyn!" exclaimed her mother cheerful as always.
"Kat! Guess what? You got into the school you wanted to go to! Remember? The one in Almia that's extremely exclusive?" exclaimed her father. As much as she was happy she was going to that school, it wasn't what she was looking forward to hearing at the moment.
"That's great! Kate, you got into the Almia Ranger School!" replied Kellyn cheerfully, obviously trying to make the best of it.
"Yeah," replied Kate. "When am I going?"
"Ooh! You're suppose to be on the 2 o'clock plane tomorrow." replied her mother. "but we have to get you packed now! So come on dear!" She tugged at her arm to move but Kate wouldn't budge.
"What's wrong Kat?" asked her father.
"Isn't Kellyn going too?" she asked.
"No, he's been accepted in the Fiorre Ranger Star Elite School." replied her mother. "I'm sorry honey, I know that you're used to having him around all the time."
"We have have to go soon Kat." said her father pointing at his watch.
"Can I talk to Kellyn one more time before we go?" asked Kate.
"Sure." replied her mother. Kate's parents just stood there as if they couldn't take the hint. Kate sighed.
"In private?" added Kate.
"Oh, okay, sure honey." replied her mother who seemed disappointed.
"15 minutes sound okay to you?" asked her father.
"Sure," replied Kate though she wished he could give her more time.
"20 minutes." said her mother in a tone so serious it surprised even her father.
"20 minutes it is." replied Kellyn after nodding. When her parents left, she turned to him.
Sometimes, he was very glad Kate's parents could be as clueless and oblivious as a slowpoke. Her mother gave them 20 min. to talk in private, now, he just hoped they wouldn't waste their time standing around like they were.
"I guess we should have seen it coming," Kate said as she broke the silence.
Me: I know, chapter ending is similar to cliff hanger
Kellyn: *pouting* Why did you have it turn out that me and Kate get accepted into two different schools
Me: Because life doesn't go all fine and dandy. And remember, PART OF THE PLOT
Kate: My parents can be so clueless sometimes
Karrie: Oh, so my parents get to come in and yell at some school facility member and my brother but I'm stuck with HIM! *points at Keith*
Keith: hey! I'm not that bad!
Me: what shall happen next? Dun-dun-dun!
Kellyn: You know, that was kind of corny.
Me: Do you want to get hurt?
Kellyn: no! I'll be good!
