I was left alone, well, relatively. I didn't count the hordes of guys that followed me because they were just annoying. When we were alone, they had the moment to ask me out, and I hated having to refuse them. It made me feel as though I was hurting their feelings.
I looked up and saw Kyoka a ways away, going to eat lunch. I had already eaten, but I could keep her company while she ate. I took off running towards her, the fanboys right behind me. “Hey, Kyoka! I need to talk to you…” I trailed off, looking back at the boys. They just didn't get the hint. “Umm.. In private?” I shooed them away while they “awww”ed and groaned. I shook my head, but turned my attention back to Kyoka. I sighed, “Finally they’re gone!” I sat down.
Kyoka nodded and looked around. “umm.. Narumi?”
I looked up at her, “Yeah?” I smiled at her.
She looked back at the group of boys that hovered practically a few feet way. The just couldn't leave me alone. One of these days, they were going to make me snap! “Did you want me to go?” she asked.
I shook my head and patted the ground, “Come, just relax and sit down. It’s annoying having to be around them all day.” I needed some female companionship. I wasn't girly by any means, but the guys just became annoying after awhile. Especially those boys.
She nodded and smiled. She went to her thoughts, and I couldn't help but really look at her. It was a shame that I hadn't ever really talked to her before. She was such a nice girl. A little shy, sure, but nice.
“Narumi, y-you did great in class today..” she said, obviously shy, and smiled at me.
I returned her bright smile. "Thanks! I can't wait to see you go!" Come to think of it, I had never seen her do any of the assignments in front of the class like everyone else. I was really good at memorizing everyones' moves, but I was coming up blank when it came to Kyoka. She had never gone in front of all of us before.
She turned red and looked down, retreating back into her shell. She was probably too nervous to want to go in front of everyone. It was very understandable, and I felt bad bringing up such a touchy topic for her. It wasn't my place to say anything, and here I was prying.
"Don't worry too much about how you do," I assured her, trying to make her feel better. "You have to be good to have gotten this far," I reminded her with a gentle smile.
She looked up, seemingly surprised. "T-thank you!" she said. "I'll do my best!"
"That's all anyone can ask for," I told her.
Continue?
Hope that's ok! Did I get Kyoka ok?
