Chapter Fourteen
NESSIE'S POV
I was a little upset that Tsuchiya didn't want anyone to know what he did. I saw Kimberly smirk. I was mad at her too. She didn't believe me at first about Tsuchiya. I ask, "Why didn't you want anyone to know?"
Tsuchiya sighed and said, "It's not a big deal. I just helped her out."
Kimberly looked down. I glare at Tsuchiya, and he glances at Kimberly. He takes a deep breath and goes over to her. He squeezes her shoulder a little bit, and Kimberly glanced up at him. He said, "You should just forget whatever anyone said."
Kimberly was confused. "Why do you say that?"
It was interesting watching them interact. Tsuchiya smirked. "You didn't really believe them when they told you what I did, did you?"
Kimberly smiled sheepishly. Tsuchiya said, "It's okay. I know it is hard to believe I would risk my life for you after yesterday morning."
Kimberly looked guilty. I could understand what he said about Kimberly. "What about me, Tsuchiya? You knew I trusted you guys."
Tsuchiya looked at me and nodded. "You would have told her."
I nodded. "Yeah. You're right. How long do you think you'll be out of school?"
Tsuchiya shrugged. "I should be back by next week."
Kimberly nodded, and we got up to leave. As we are about to walk out the door, Kimberly stops and looks at Tsuchiya. "Tsuchiya."
Tsuchiya looks at her. She continues, "I'm sorry. I would really like it if you could walk me home from now on."
Tsuchiya nodded. Kimberly and I left.
