Chapter Nine
TSUCHIYA'S POV
I sighed because I knew I screwed up. I started to think. Suddenly, I grabbed Kimberly's hand and took her to the roof. Once we got there, I let go and took a few steps away. I said, "I didn't mean that you were a bother, Kimberly. I meant it was a bother for Nessie to ask. I mean I had already planned to walk you home from now on."
Kimberly didn't look at me. I sighed. "You don't have to believe me. I just wanted to tell you."
I went back to the classroom.
KIMBERLY'S POV
I couldn't believe what Tsuchiya had just said. "He was telling the truth. He was already planning on walking you home," a voice said from behind me.
I turned around and noticed that it was Ryu. I asked, "How do you know?"
Ryu smiled. "He kept talking about you this morning, and he made a plan so you would fall in love with him. He really likes you, Kimberly. Tsuchiya just doesn't like people telling him what to do."
I tilted my head a little and asked, "Why?"
Ryu shrugged. "Don't know."
Ryu and I went to class. Tsuchiya had his head down on his desk. Now I felt bad. Everyone had given him a lecture because of me, and they didn't even understand why he had said what he did. I sighed and went to my seat.
