^ Thank you, I'll be honest I know I won't get too many comments but I like enough readers to read something other than the usual
Chapter 3The next day it was overcast and drizzled quite a bit.
I had my umbrella ready and went out of the house to meet the rest of them on the way to school.
First, I picked up Momo, who is not a morning person and always miss the alarm.
Her mother has to yell always at her to get ready on time.
“Is it a date?” She asked after zooming out of the house.
“Obviously, he would not date seven of us at the same time, I figured if he saw all of us, I wouldn’t be son nervous.” I wanted to make a good impression towards him
“Oh, it is get together; I hope he has a lot of money to take care of us.” I became concerned about money but I didn’t want to text him in the morning.
Next, it was Maasa’s house, she was the neutral person, she was not good in athletics and she had average marks across the boards.
Everything she does seem to be par to everybody else.
Even, when I met her, she was a B-average person; she would never get A’s or be the first or the last in races.
“I brought some extra money to cover what he cannot cover.” She looked at me and told her thank you because I did not have enough for myself.
Then, came Risako and Yurina, they were the most popular in school, because both were the brains in the school.
I met both in study hall, and I realize they would help me in anything except for relationships.
They both never been in a serious relationship, they ended up joining up with my group and hooked up with Momo and Miyabi.
Therefore, they would always stay together as couple while I just chilled in the library.
Finally, Miyabi and Chinami came, Chinami had the best smile in the class.
Her smile was so powerful, that the teacher feared she would blind her with her teeth.
Although, Maasa and Chinami were off and on, but they were more closer to each other than I was with them.
The chatter started to escalate about my new “boyfriend.”
Momo just continued on with her “He was so cute” stories and I just drifted back to think what to say to him.
We had many different classes and it showed how good I was in math with Yurina and Risako, but bad in English with Miyabi.
The classes were boring yet time flew and we met up for lunch.
“Does he look like he has a lot of money?” Chinami asked.
I gave her a look and told her, “I could not tell about his situation, he had nice clothes on, so I guess so.”
“Can he make you his princess?” Risako asked.
I started to think about it and said, “Maybe, I don’t know maybe he will treat me like a queen.”
Everybody went gave an ooh and aah.
“I guess you cannot wait to meet him,” Maasa asked before her next bite of her lunch.
I nodded and told her, “I was nervous, because it was the first time with a guy.”
Lunch was over and we went to our final two classes.
Then, time slowed down and I could not wait to get out and meet him.
After class, we all met outside the school and started to go to the café.
The chatter escalated again until we got to the café and see if there was any reservation under his name and then we all saw him.
“He’s cute, Saki.” Chinami gasped.
“I agree” Yurina and Risako went in shock.
“He looks like he has a lot of money.” Miyabi checking out the ambiance.
We all rushed to the table and the couples sat next to each other, and I sat next to him.
I introduced all my friends to him and he did the same in return.
“Order what you want, my uncle runs the place.” His uncle came behind him and slapped him in the head.
“For you ladies, my nephew will pay for everything.” He turned around and his uncle gave him the eye and turned back in fear.
“He got you there, Takeshi-kun” Risako pointed at him.
He giggled and started to take the order for all of us.
They started to give him the third degree.
“Okay, first off, I am home schooled, I am eighteen years old, and I am studying English at a local university”
Everybody started to be impressed by his speech.
Chinami and Risako started to talk to everybody else and I was scared stiff because I did not what they could be skimming for him.
Miyabi started, “Okay, we six have a test for you before you can go steady with Saki.” He nodded.
“For the next week, you will have to pass by our six tests to get a chance to kiss her.” He nodded with a serious face.
“What if we want to go pass that?” He asked lightheartedly.
“Well whatever you want to do after is up to you and her.”
My head got light and looked at him.
He flashed back a smile.
After that conversation, the meals came out, and we started to eat and I noticed that he was having a good time with my friends.
My heart started to warm up to him.
“Saki, your friends are wonderful to be with.” He smiled.
I smiled back, but I knew that they would test him out with this meal.
After we ate, we started to talk about today and the bill came.
I managed to take a peek and I was nervous, so I took out my purse.
$150.69
My heart skipped and looked at him.
He turned and paid the waitress in cash.
$200.00 and the change was her tip.
They looked at him and turned their heads.
“I work part time at the convenient store.” He laughed.
Miyabi whispered to me, “He passed the first test.”
I was glad he could pay for all of us but they were not going to give up that easily.
We got up and went out the café.
He decided to take all of us home.
My friends were talking and then he grabbed my hand and looked at him.
They were talking louder when they saw his hand in mines.
“Your friends are your time line; they determine how you will be in future.”
I looked at him and understood what he was saying.
We got to my house and dropped me off and they all scattered to their houses.
“Maybe tomorrow, we can decide on something.” He gave me a big smile.
I replied, maybe you will give me a call right?
He nodded, and he walked passed all the houses.
I felt so proud of him today.
