Chapter 23: What do I do?!
-Hei-
I was panicking in side so bad. Katara was going to be coming home with Dan and I for the week.
“Dude you okay?” Hiro asked me.
“Hua? What d-do you mean?” I asked.
“You’ve been standing at your suit case for about ten minuets now and haven’t packed anything.” He told me and I looked down to see that he was right.
“I-I’m just nervous…Katara’s not going home so the headmaster invited her over to our house for the week.” I answered.
“What?!” I was quickly turned around and Hiro hand both hands on my shoulders and shook me a little. “That’s amazing Hei! You have a hot girl coming over to spend an entire week with you! How can you not be happy about that? I would be ecstatic if someone as hot as Katara was coming over to my house for a week.”
“D-do you like her?” I asked him.
“Of course. She’s sweet, funny, kind, smart, pretty, who wouldn’t like her.” Hiro told me and it kind of made my heart hurt a bit. Hiro was probably my closest friend that I had here other then Katara. And he liked her, I didn’t really know how to respond to that.
“O-oh. I didn’t know.” I said and pulled away from him so that I could start packing. I haven’t told him about what happened between Katara and I. I just wasn’t ready to tell him. And now that I know he likes Katara…I don’t know if I can tell him.
“You two should come over at some time this week! It would be a lot of fun.” When I went back over with an arm full of clothes there was a piece of paper at the bottom of my bag. “There’s my address.” He smiled.
“T-thanks. I’ll asked Katara about it later.” I stated setting my clothes on my bed and pulling the address out so that it would be on top of my clothes. I only packed the smaller of my suitcase since I was going home and most of my clothes were there.
Hiro left first. I was kind of sad to see him go but at the same time it was a bit of a relief we had a bit of an awkward silence between us for a little bit. I think that he was thinking that I was starting to like Katara too but he didn’t want to say anything to me. I finished packing and grabbed my keys to the dorm, made sure everything was shut off then left.
“So are you ready?” I heard Dan said and I left like I jumped five feet off the ground.
He scared me to death. I instantly snapped my head towards him. “Don’t you think you should actually make a sound before you decide to come up to me like that?” I asked him.
“Don’t you think you should stop stuttering around your friends already?” He answered back putting his hands behind his back.
He was his normal twenty-four year old self again. I preferred him normal over being the creepy older man. I felt my face heat up and looked away. “Just shut up.” I muttered.
“If you wanted to head there first you can take the bike. You’ll be able to have her bag strapped down on it at least. Just throw your bag in the car.” He told me and held out his hand.
I looked at him shocked. I barely get to be allowed to drive my bike. I wasn’t going to let this chance slip by. I stuck out my hand and he handed me my key to the bike and my pills. “Don’t forget to put them in a place you’ll remember where they are. We don’t need them getting lost.”
“I know, I know…”I put the pills in my pocket and held onto the key. “Thanks…for letting me take the bike.” I said.
“Here. I’ll throw your bag in the car.” Dan smiled and took my bag from me. “I have to wait till those who are leaving have left. Then I’ll be home. So you two may have to fend for yourselves.”
“Not a problem.” I said and he put a hand on my head and messed up my hair.
“I’ll see you later.” He took his hand off my head and walked away.
I clutched onto the key and practically ran to Katara’s room. I knocked on the door and soon after Karata opened the door. She smiled when she saw me. “A-are you ready t-to go?” I asked.
She nodded happily and went back in to make sure that everything was off and grabbed her suitcase. “Okay I’m ready. Are we going to Doc’s office to meet him there?”
I shook my head, “H-he’ll be home late tonight. B-but we’re going to head out.”
“So are we walking?” She asked a bit confused.
“I-I’m driving up there.” I replied and started walking towards the exit.
Katara walked with me and I took her to the shed. She looked at me confused when I opened the door to the shed and walked in. I pulled the cover off my bike and then pushed it out.
“Oh wow! You can drive a bike?” She sounded surprised.
I smiled a little and took her bag from her then strapped it on back of the seat. Then I went back into the shed and got the two helmets that I had sitting in there and came back out and handed one to her. I got on and started the bike then patted the seat behind me for her to get on. She did and I felt her wrap her arms around my waist. I kicked the kick stand up and then started going.
I loved when I was able to drive. I couldn’t do it too often, but I was happy that Dan was letting me take Katara to the house with me so we weren’t stuck here till Dan was able to leave.
