ll I'm Waiting ll
Pair ll Mayuki (There's others too )
It’s just a normal school day , till I meet on her the hallway .
Like usual , she’s with her friend
But today , there’s something different .
She keep looking to my way .
‘Is there something wrong with my uniform ? ‘
I checked my uniform , there’s nothing wrong , so I look back at her .
She chuckled .
‘Even when she chuckle , she’s cute . No wonder she’s popular . ‘
The princess of this school , Kashiwagi Yuki , actually notice me .
This is something that will only happen in manga or anime isn’t it .
The people you like actually notice you , even if it’s just for a short period of time .
That’s not the time for it , I need to go back to my class .
“Yuu ~ Do me a favor . “
This girl , is a pure devil . Lots of boy fall for her too .
With black hair that’s smooth . Her lips , is soft , that’s what I heard from other guys . And another thing , she bold .
“Ano .. What can I do for you , Miyuki-san ? “
She suddenly move closer to me and whisper ,
“Be . My date ~ Ne ? “
“Wha – “
I just look at her , totally had no idea what’s going on now .
“Ah ~ Your ear turn red , kawaii ~ “
… She has seductive voice too .
“I will wait for your answer ne ~ “ She winked at me and left .
I can feel all the stare from the guy in my class .
‘God , I’m in trouble . ‘----------------
I’ just a guy with big nerd glasses , so why chose me !?
I just keep looking outside , not listening to what teacher is teaching .
“Yuu , come to the blackboard and solve this question . “
“ … “
I went to the blackboard , without thinking , I just write the answer , I don’t care if it’s going to be wrong or what .
The teacher look at the blackboard , and then look at me .
“.. Correct . “
Again , I feel like the stares .
I also hear some student talking .
“The hell , sensei didn’t teach about this yet . How the heck he get it correct ? “
“He must be a nerd , look like him , totally a nerd look isn’t it . “
“You’re right , hahaha ! “
At least I will pass my exam , don’t need to come back during the summer break .
“Ne Yuu , up until now , I didn’t see you go school club . “
“I’m in go home club . “
Oshima Yuko , she famous too .. For begin a pervert . Currently dating famous model in our school , Kojima Riku . She’s totally a big sister to me .
“Join basketball ! I need player . “
“I thought you take over girl’s basketball but not boys ? “
“Blame the teacher ! She suddenly want me to take care of the boys too ! “
“Sorry , but I can’t . I’m not good in sports – “
Yuko just look at me ,
“Please ~ “
“Ask your boyfriend to join instead . “
“He’s already in . “
“… What . He has the time to join!? “
“Please Yuu ! “
“… Fine , even if I don’t accept , you going to bug me until I join isn’t it. “
“YATTA ! “ ----------------
Once it’s after school , I start to walk to the basketball court .
I look around , trying to find Yuko .
But I found Miyuki instead .
“Ah , Yuu ~ Are you here to give me your answer ? “
“… No , please don’t play with feelings . “
“Eh ? “
“You .. Actually like Yamamoto Saki isn’t it ? The guy in Kendo club ..”
“N-Nani ! T-There’s no way I- I like him ! “
“You couldn’t get his attention that’s why you – “
“No no ! There’s no way I like him ! No way ! “
Miyuki just went away after that , but she bump into Saki .
“ ! T-There’s no way I like you ! “
And then she ran away .
“… The hell is wrong with her . “
“Yuu ! You really come ! “
“Don’t expect me to come when I’m tired . “
Yuko clap her hand , to get club member attention .
“Alright guys ! This guy , Yuu , will be our new member ! “
They start to cheer .
“Welcome to basketball club Yuu , I’m Kai Takahashi . “
“Nice to meet you , Takahashi-san . “
----------------
… Basketball is totally not my type , have to run everywhere , catch the ball , pass & throw .
But I do feel more refresh , weird huh .
“Yuu , if you continue to practice , you might be a good basketball player . “
“.. Ha.. Thanks . “
“So what actually make you join basketball ? “
I look at Yuko .
“Ahh , Yuko-san huh . She won’t give up until she get what she wants . “
“I totally agree with that . “
“Say , do you like Yuki ? “
W-What . What of question is this –
“Er .. I .. “
“KAI ! “
We both turn around , to see a girl is running towards us .
“Shit - , sorry Yuu , need to go first – “
“Eh – “
Before I can continue , Takahashi-san already ran away .
“Mou ! Why he always ran away when he see me ! “
The girl said and went towards the exit .
… If Kashiwagi-san is like this .. It will be scary – Er , don’t won’t happen .
Alright , I better pack my stuff and went back .
I finish packing my stuff and start to walk towards the exit too , once I step out of the indoor basketball court , I see that Kashiwagi-san got confessed again .
Ha , she’s really popular –
Kashiwagi-san look at my way . Her expression change once she sees me .
… Did her expression really change . Well .. I don’t think so . Better get going now , I’m already running out of energy.
I walk home since my house is just near by . Good thing isn’t it , save my bus fare .
Hmm , I remember some one going to move in to the house opposite me .. Oh well ..
I unlock the door and –
“Yuu ! Mom is going for a holiday ~ Try to survive for this one month alright ~ I’m going to late for my flight so take care ~ “
“Wait ! Did you at least prepare dinner – “
Before I could say finish what I wanted to say , my mother already out of the sight .
“I don’t think she prepare it .. She must be overslept and now rushing to the airport – “ I mumble .
Right after I finish mumbling , my stomach start to growl .
Argh , I hope that I will find food in the kitchen .
So I shut the door and go the kitchen and start to look for food . But nothing .
“Seriously .. Better head to the supermarket .. “
Wait , mom said try to survive for this one month ..
I check the date for today .
And it just starting of the month ..
I need to prepare food myself for this whole month ?!
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOO – “
I collapse to the ground .
I have never ever cook before – What should I do .
“Instant noodle all day . En , I shall eat instant noodle all day . “
I nodded to myself and change my clothes as I don’t want to make my school uniform dirty and start walking towards to the supermarket .
But as I continue to walk to the supermarket , I thought about it again .
Do I really want to eat instant noodle for the whole month ?
“Arghh ! What should I do !? Ah .. “
The people around me start to look at me weirdly .
I walk faster than usual , and finally reach the supermarket .
“.. That’s quite a number of people in the supermarket now .. “
.. Hopefully I won’t see any one I know here .
Not even my other family member .
Should I buy some meat & vegetables .. To make my own bento ..
I don’t really want to eat the stuff that school sell .
It sucks . Totally tasteless . It’s like they forgot to add salt .
As I thought about it , I already reach the corner that sell instant stuff .
As I reach out my hand to one of the instant miso soup , I touches other people’s hand accidentally .
“Sorry – Eh . “
It .. It can’t be her .
“Ah , you . I remember see you around 6pm today in school – “
“.. You sure have a good memory Kashiwagi-san .. “
“ Well , I do not have good memory , I remembered you is because during the morning I saw you once too . “
“… Say Kashiwagi-san . “
“Hmm ? “
“How many guy confessed to you – “
What am I asking ! She’s popular , she might already lose count .
Liking some one who’s popular isn’t a good thing , unless she likes you too .
I look at her again . She look like she have a hard time counting .
“Sorry .. I think I lose count . “
“That’s for sure huh .. “
“By the way , what’s your name , you knew my name but I don’t know yours . “
Nothing going to be wrong just because I told her my name isn’t it ?
If I’m really able to be friend with her , it’s a good thing to me . I have chance to be closer with her .
“Yuu , Watanabe Yuu . Nice to meets you . “
I reach out my left hand .
“Nice to meet you , Yuu . I’m Yuki , Kashiwagi Yuki . “
She reach out her hand and both of us have a handshake .
This is the first time I feel warmth from holding other people hand .
This feeling . No one ever gave me this feeling .
“Do I really have feelings for you .. “
“Hmm , what did you say ? “
Eh . Did I say it out loud .
“Eh , nothing . Alright , I will chat with you other time . “
I put some instant miso food and instant ramen into my cart .
And I headed to the corner where they have vegetables .
And Kashiwagi-san is right behind me .
“… You’re not following me right . “
“Of course I’m not ! I’m not a stalker ! “
And so , I just pick some cabbages and headed to the cashier and pay for it .
Frankly speaking , I just rush when I typed halfway .-------------------------- Continue --------------------------
I walk back home , and see the name tag of the house opposite of mine .[Kashiwagi ]… Nah . No no no no .
There’s no freaking way –
“Ah , Watanabe-san . “
What , it’s real ?“… You .. stay here ? “
I say as I point at the house .“En , I just moved in . “
“… What . “
“You live nearby here too Yuu ? “
I then point at my house . She look at it . [ Watanabe ]“So we’re neighbors !
"… Yes . We are . “
“Then let’s go to school together from now on ! “
What , did I hear it wrongly .“Wait , go to school together ?”
“Yep , it’s fine isn’t it . Plus , I’m not really sure how to go to school from here , I walked for hours to find my house ! “
----------------
How the hell it ended up like this , it’s not like I don’t want to go to school with her but .. She’s the freaking top 1 girl in our school ! How will people react when they see her together with me ? Won’t it ruin her image ?“Yuu ! Let’s go to school now ! “
She’s already waiting ? What time is it now – It’s still early – Whatever , I will go with her , maybe she think that it’s gonna be a long walk to the school that’s why she chose to go so early .
I changed to my uniform and rush down , once I open the door , she greeted me . “Ohaiyo Watanabe-san . “
“En .. Ohaiyo Kashiwagi-san . Actually .. You don’t have to go so early .. We just need about 15 minute and we’ll reach school already .. “
“Ehh .. But it took me almost an hour to find my house .. “
“.. You didn’t walk straight up the road huh .. “
“En .. It seems very quiet and I don’t see anyone walking there so .. “
“The reason student don’t walk there is because there’s a fierce looking dog , but don’t worry . The dog doesn’t bite , in fact , he love to play around . “
She look at me . “You sure know this place well .. “
“I’ve stay here for almost 6 years already , so more or less I do know a bit . So , shall we go now ? “
“En , let’s go ! “
Kashiwagi Yuki , the girl of my dream .
Move in to the house opposite me .
Have a chat with her ..
I’m totally dreaming right now isn’t it .“…nabe-san.. Watanabe-san ? “
“Ah , sorry . “
“What are you thinking about , you totally lose your concentration . “
“Thinking what should I eat later .. “
“You can eat me if you want . “
“I will think about – Wait .. ‘
-Brain loading . [ You can eat me if you want . ]I’m pretty sure that my face is slowing turning red .“W-What ! Kashiwagi-san ! “
“Ah ~ Kawaii ~ “
She then pinch my cheek . “You’re a pure devil – “
“Hehe , I get that a lot . Well , if you don’t mind , I can share my bento with you . I overdo it today . “
“… Your food is not poison right – I remember hearing a rumor saying that someone ate your food and got food poisoning ... “
“Mou ! My cooking has improve alright ! “
“.. How about er .. I pay you to make my bento – “
“Eh ? “
“No one going to make bento for me , and frankly speaking , I don’t really know how to cook .. Plus our school cafeteria just .. sucks .. “
“Hmm .. For how long ? “
“Erm , about a month – But I don’t really know how much should I pay you for .”
“Mah , we will talk about this later . Now ~ Let’s go to school ~ After all .. I need some time to clear my locker – “
“Everyday its filled with love letter huh ? “
“Well ~ Love letter , hate letter , all types of letter . “
Hate letter ? She have hater too ? “Hmm , wonder I why would I have hate letter too ? It’s from the girls , complaining that I steal their crush away – “
“Pfft . The girls might be blind then , after all , I didn’t see you accept anyone confessing yet . “
“Well I already have someone I like of course I won’t accept . “
“Heh ~ That guy must be lucky . “
Damn that lucky bastard .
After that we just keep on walking , until she meet her friend halfway and she start to go with them .
Mah , is not that I mind – All I could think now is who is the lucky bastard .
You lucky human –
You better don’t let me found you . Well, I can’t do any thing about it too . “Yuu ! Hurry up , or else I’m gonna leave you behind ! “
That’s unexpected –
And so I rush beside Kashiwagi-san . “So his the guy you always talk abou – “
Before her friend can continue what she want to say , Yuki cover her friend mouth with her hand . “Ahaha – Y-You hear nothing right Yuu ? “
“E-En .. I hear nothing .. So she is ? “
“Maeda Atsuko , Kai Takahashi’s Girlfriend . “
“… Kai Takahashi .. Hmm .. Is he in the basketball club ? “
“Eh , you know him ? “ Maeda-san look at me .
“Mah .. He can counted as my senpai – Plus , I think his a bit weird - “
“What makes you think so huh – “ Maeda-san now stare at me with the eyes that can kill people .
“W-Well , h-he asked me if I like Kashiwagi-san – “
And Maeda-san turn to look at Kashiwagi-san .
And Kashiwagi-san look at me . “… I better get going – Cya – “
And I run away . “Ne ! What was your answer – “
.. One does not simply give you the answer , Maeda-san .
After all , I’m not sure if this feeling is call as like or just admire .
Even if really .. I like Kashiwagi-san ..
She won’t accept me – After all she has someone that she like .
As I lost my thought on thinking , I already reach school unknowingly .
[ 7.15 A.M ]There’s like 45 minute till lesson start ..
Maybe I should .. Go practice basketball ..
That will waste too much of my energy .
…“Yuu !! “
I can hear some one running real fast –
And that person must be – “Hai stop Jurina – Or I will tell Ren that you run when your injury haven’t fully recovered . “
“EHHH ! Noo ! Ren will kill me for sure – In bed ! “
“… What . You guys have pillow fight – “
I said , trying to act pure .“Yuu , you know what I meant isn’t it ~ ‘ Jurina say as she poke my shoulder .
“I shall let you die in bed then , I’m telling him . HA ! Get ready ! “
“Noooo . Then I better go and prepare lots of melon pan for safety ! Bye – “
In a blink of eyes , Jurina is gone . “ She isn’t scare of pain huh – “
That’s Jurina , a girl who isn’t really scare of anything . But she’s scare of angry Ren .
Matsui Ren , Jurina’s boyfriend .
I wonder can they really be together , after all both of them have the same last name .
Hopefully they can , they really make a good match .
As for now , how do I know what’s my feeling towards Kashiwagi-san ?
… Ha . I don’t want to think anything now .
----------------
I said that I don’t want to think about anything ..
But in the end , I’m still thinking of ways to know my feeling till the bell rings .
Time for lunch break .
… Should I eat – After all .. Even if I don’t mind the food , there’s still lots of people queuing . Maybe I should just get a drink from the Vending Machine .
As I walk to the Vending Machine , I see Kashiwagi-san .
I wanted to call her , but she’s with another guy .
She keep look at the guy and smile .
Is he the guy that Kashiwagi-san like ?
…
Ahhh . What’s up with this feeling . I’m feeling kind of piss off .
I should just act like I see nothing and just buy my drink and – sleep at the school rooftop .
So I start to put on my headphone , let people think that I’m actually listening to music , and start to walk quickly towards the Vending Machine . [/i]
“Ah , Watanabe-san ! “
I could hear that Kashiwagi-san call me , but I ignore it .
If she ask me about it , I’m just going to say I can’t hear her as I’m listening to music . ----------------
[ Say , do you like Yuki ? ]The warmth she gave me .
Her smile , I don’t want anyone else to see it , other than me . [Ne ! What’s your answer - ]Why do I feel so piss of .
Instead of calling my friends , I call him . How I get his number ? I don’t know , when I scan my phone last night it’s already in . (Moshi Moshi , Kai desu - )
“Takahashi-san , when you see a girl with another guy and she keep smiling at him , and you start to piss off , what does that means ? “
(Woah , Yuu that’s you right ? I didn’t expect you to call me – And ehem – For that ..
Maybe you like that girl ? After all , you won’t really want the girl you like show their smile to another guy . )
“Is that so .. “
(Why do you ask that anyway - )
“Takahashi-san , for the question you asked .. “
(Eh , the question I asked .. ? Ah . That . )
“ Yes , I guess . I do like Kashiwagi-san . “
And I hang up the phone . And now , how do I tell Kashiwagi-san that I like her ?
I don’t have her phone number .
.. Broadcast it – Nah , I don’t have the courage . “Watanabe-san ? “
“Ah , Kashiwagi-san . “
“I called you just now but you ignore me . “
“Sorry , and Kashiwagi-san . I .. “
Kashiwagi-san just look at me patiently .“.. I like you . “
After I said that , I don’t dare to look into her eyes .“Pfft . “
Eh ? “ You know .. You might be good in studies . But you’re slow in love huh ? “
“Eh .. What .. ? “
“ You’re the guy that I like from the start . You might not notice me in the first place , but I first saw you it wasn’t in school . It was in a packed train . I accidently push you while you’re reading your manga and you just smiled at me and say it’s okay . “
Oh , the girl who wear all black – “And from that on , I try my best to make you notice me .. So all this time ..
I’m waiting .. For you to like me . “
“… Can you promise me something now ? “
“Eh ? “
She look kind of surprise now . “Don’t you show other people your sweet smile . “
I said as I hold her hand .“I like you , Kashiwagi Yuki . Be mine and only . “
She hold my hand back and say .“I can’t really promise I won’t show other people my sweet smile ..
But I’m sure that you’re the guy I will married to , Watanabe Yuu . “
