Chapter 11
Few Months Ago (OR MORE)
No One POV
“You know how I can get around strangers… everyone will think that I’m awkward weirdo and go the other way. People tend to trust their first impressions and I don’t give best first expression. I still remember high school days…”
Mayu and Rino were taking care of their stuff while moving into their new apartment complex. You can simply describe it whatever you like, small house, huge apartment or any other comparison that you can find. The point is that they had separate rooms, kitchen and bathroom. More than you can need in all your study years.
Surprisingly having so much space the girl haven’t even though about moving in party. Its not like they knew anyone around. Rino only remembered about Mayu mentioning the girl she has a crush on(which got a bit annoying because younger girl was already head over heels for that stranger).
So of course, for what reason they wouldn’t even have a party. Unless just a party of two. Also, right at this moment Rino were voicing out her deepest fears before the first day of lectures so all the fun was far away from their minds.
Rino was serious and for that reason Mayu stayed away from sarcastic or ironic comments. “I’m worried too”
“Yeah… but let’s face it… you can easily get popular. I mean… you were popular back at school”.
“School was easy. I think people change a bit afterwards… also, we’re not living in a dorm which is more popular choice for meeting new people, having parties and so on…who knows what happens… but you should try and think more positive… or well… you’re kind of a negative doll per say… so try to be the MOST positive you possibly CAN”.
Rino sigh but didn’t seem convinced. For the same reason next day was nerve-wrecking for the girl. Without a doubt she was awkward around strangers and either avoided (just like running to the other side of the road) or did something similar to avoiding (like for example, pretending that she got an important call and can’t continue a conversation.)
For that same reason she sat and ate her lunch alone in the cafeteria. Rino wondered going back home, after all, she didn’t live that far… but with the time limit she had no choice.
Unfortunately… because of ALL of that nervousness she just couldn’t force herself to eat another bite… and she still had a lot of food on her place.
But Rino’s food didn’t stay safe for long. A stranger came by to check what she’s eating without even denying the interest “are you going to eat that?”
Rino look up noticing the most beautiful creature in front of her. Or that’s what you could have heard inside her head, if we could actually read Rino’s mind. Either way… it can be repeated and emphasized that in her eyes the girl standing in front of her was beyond perfection.
“Yeah…sure…. I don’t want it either way”, she somehow managed to answer in normal way (just like normal human beings interact), and once again was surprised when instead of just taking the food, this girl sat next to her and started eating it.
“It would be a shame if you wasted it! I actually considered coming closer for…some time… not sure if you’re actually going to continue or not… though if you change your mind and want to eat, tell me right away!”
“No no… I really… no”, even Rino realized that her power of acting like normal humans do is not so present anymore.
The girl looked up and smiled in a friendly manner “oh…I’m stealing your food without even introducing myself… Kitahara Rie… you can simply call me Rie or KitaRie”
“I’m Sashihara Rino. But you can call me Sashi…or just Rino…or… yeah… one of those two”, she added realizing that the only left option would be ‘Sashihara’ which is also obvious in a way.
Rie smiled as if not noticing nothing strange in this behavior and continued on eating. Surprisingly after two days the girls met again in the same manner and that’s when Rino realized that she’s developing a crush on this girl.
Later on they realized that they share some of their classes and sat together during few of them, chatting about random things, sometimes simply joking around. Easy start of a beautiful friendship.
Obviously Rino got disappointed along the away after finding out that Rie is actually in a relationship. Its not like she actually had hope. Well all that hope belonged to her dreams only… but still.
From the very start Rino disliked the relationship she saw in front of herself. Rie and Yuki breaking up AGAIN and AGAIN, getting together after some short period of time but it seemed that the only reason why they managed to keep their relationship was those short periods of time when they were apart.
Rino couldn’t understand it at all but she never questioned reasons behind. If there were any… and of course… this got her to this day.
PRESENT TIME
Sashihara Rino POV
I went to meet Rie in a park before the party just like we agreed to. Well…actually the only thing we agreed on was going there together, I have to call few times until finally got a clear answer where and when to go there.
It was a simple party, so no dress code or requirements, we can simply go there however we wanted to and I was glad about the fact that Rie also chose casual clothes.
I’m not saying that I don’t have style at all but… well, everyone in my high school still remembers that time when our classmate Acchan use to give me her clothes, either giving them as presents or letting me borrow.
Since that time I’m not very sure about my style and if I have it at all. I chose the clothes that feels comfortable but looks cute in a way. Well maybe they only look cute for me but…
“Hey, you look cute”, Rie commented while checking me out and smiling in the same manner like the first day I met her.
I couldn’t keep eye contact with her for long time after it, blushing and at the same time waving my hand while adding “no…you look better”, well of course you look better. Who am I kidding… you look good in any clothes, even when strangers question your sense of style.
We stood there awkwardly after the compliments until Rie finally broke this torturing silence. It wasn’t unpleasant but I wasn’t aware if everything is okay… so this made me feel a little bit wary of myself.
“Shall we go to the party?”
I nod my head and we walked in the direction of Mocchi’s home. Rie spoke up first again, maybe not liking this silence just the same way as I wanted to scream instead of keeping my mouth shut.
“Have you heard that Mocchi likes Akicha and for that reason she invited almost everyone she knows…I think that’s the only way she managed to trick the girl”.
“She told me…about her crush… I mean… I don’t know what Akicha thinks about it though…I mean… if she’s aware of it”.
“How can you not be aware that someone likes you?” Rie asked quite casually, also adding “I think she knows. Maybe she’s just scared to give it a try”.
For some reasons these two sentences made me think. Instantly.
In most cases, I’m not that kind of person who stars over analyzing other people words or pay too much attention to them but why it felt like being directed at me? Or is that simply my imagination playing tricks… that’s possible. I have imagined many things which haven’t become reality.
I’m too scared to ask what’s the case though, so I just murmured something under my breath and Rie hasn’t commented on it. Probably she didn’t mean anything by her words and I just try to think POSITIVE like Mayu always insists.
Not that Mayu has a problem with being positive. She’s dating the girl on whom she had the biggest crush for couple of months. Back then I couldn’t even imagine a scene where she would have talked with Yuki.
Which reminds me…
“Are you okay… after finding out about Mayu and Yukirin?”
“Are you asking this because I might not need you as my fake girlfriend anymore?” once again Rie questioned casually. Too casually for my taste. I wanted to protest or say something but we stopped right in front of Mocchi’s home where other people rushed in as well.
We bumped into Aki, or maybe she bumped into us, I’m not sure anymore.
She smiled excited “I wonder who else is going to be here! Oh…Sasshi long time no see!”
It seemed like the fact that we know each other surprised Rie and this is exactly what she asked out loud.
“You two know each other?”
“We used to date… some time ago” Akicha answered simply while practically running inside “Mocchi told me to rush…I will see you around!”. She’s just like I remember. Still absent-minded.
“You two dated?” for the first time this evening Rie looked curios rather than passive. I’m not saying that she was passive all the time but something was certainly off. Obviously if I was brave enough to ask her what’s the problem… I might find out the truth. But guess what? I’m not!
“Shortly…” I was unsure how to comment on this or is it something that I should comment about.
“Wow… I guess there are still a lot of things about you that I don’t know”.
That sounded… just wrong… simply wrong…
Watanabe Mayu POV
After noticing Rie and Rino who stood in one corner for some time exchanging couple of words I realized that maybe something was off. At least that’s how it looked… not everyone can understand Rino’s face expression but when she’s worried — I can sense it from 100 miles away.
I’m kidding but yeah… after knowing that girl for so long I can simply guess it. So when she went to look for drinks I decided to chose this opportunity. “I will be back”.
“Don’t take long”, Yukirin commented looking back at me and smiling brightly. Oh…after that smile there’s no chance that I will take it longer than necessary. For that reason I sprinted to Rino.
“Hey, you okay?”
“What? Yeah…? Oh… you are here as well? Though yeah, you left first after all…”
“Is everything alright with you and…Rie?” I questioned while looking at the direction of mentioned girl. Though she’s not standing there anymore… maybe she went somewhere else.
“I’m not…sure…” Rino spoke the truth. “Just something…seems…a little bit…off lately…”
“Oh…so you haven’t solved the issue…you know… haven’t had a discussion about that night when you slept together and Rie wasn’t aware of that fact?”
“Eh?”
“You know the thing that…crap…the thing that I told her few days ago!” I slapped myself on the forehead. I can’t believe I forgot about this. Well… I can believe it… I was too busy spending time with Yukirin but… oh… Rino is definitely going to kill me now.
“YOU TOLD HER WHAT?”
You see what I mean?
