Summer Chapter 1: Push
“Kaa-san ittekimasu” I peeked into the living room where my mother and sisters were watching a variety show. “Hai hai itterasshai” she said, not shifting her gaze from the TV “don’t come home too late okay” she added. “Hai” I replied and left.
“Oh….Yamada-san, was it?” A middle aged woman answered the door. “Hai. Haruka-chan wa…” “Haruka-sama is still getting ready. Please come in” “Arigato gozaimasu” I said and followed her to the door.
“Ojamashimasu” I said as I walked inside. “Please take a seat, and help yourself” she gestured to the tea and cake on the table. “Thank you Nishi-san” I said. She looked surprised, so I added “Haruka-chan mentions you quite a lot, she said you have the best cooking in the world” I smiled. “Thank you for the compliment” she bowed and left.
As I sipped my tea, I glanced around. Haruka-chan’s house was not that big, but it was definitely elegant. The living room was decorated in a mix of modern and vintage style, humbly and modestly so. The room was decorated with flowers of different kinds which were arranged and placed in vases to liven up the place. Other than that, some photos from the past that showed Haruka-chan and her family hung on the walls and on top of drawers. There were lots of windows, so the sunrays had no trouble lighting up the room. On the right hand side of the room was a door that seemed to lead to the kitchen, guessing from the waft of food that came from its direction, and a stair was glued to the wall on the door’s left side.
It’s so quiet here realized. She really must be pretty lonely when her mother isn’t around “Yamada-kun, ikimashou ka?” A voice caught my attention and I turned to its source. My heart beat faster when I saw her figure descending the stairs. I was once again mesmerized by her charm. She was still dressed casually, but she put more effort in it and she looked even more beautiful than usual. “Ah, hai” I finally straightened myself after she got down and looked at me confusedly. “Come on” I said as I stood up.
“Yama-chan you’re here!” Yabu-kun greeted me “Right on time, I need help wi-Ara~ you must be Haruka-san. You seem to come up a lot in our conversations these last few weeks” the said girl blushed slightly behind me, and Yabu-kun just grinned mischievously. “Well, come on in then” he ushered us.
“Oh, Yamada-kun, how are you?” “Erika-san, it’s been a while” I answered “I’m very well, thank you. Oh, let me introduce you, this is Akiyama Haruka, my….er…..” I trailed off, not exactly sure how to continue. “I’m Takekura Erika, Kou’s girlfriend. Nice to meet you” Erika-san bowed “May I call you Haruka-chan?” she added. “Ah, I don’t mind. Nice too meet you too Erika-san” Haruka-chan bowed in return. “Yama-chan! I need your help!” Yabu-kun called out from the kitchen. “I’ll leave you girls to chat. Please excuse me” I said and headed to Yabu-kun, passing by Keito, Takaki-kun, Dai-chan and their dates.
“What can I do to hel-“ “Yama-chan!!!” I was cut off by Yuto whose hand was entwined with Ohgo’s. I nodded at her and she grinned. “So you were able to get off work?” I asked, ignoring Yuto. “Hai, sou desu” she replied happily, and Yuto kissed her hand. She giggled. “Okay you two, get out of the kitchen if you’re only here to flirt.” They left and Yabu-kun sighed “Honestly, they’re such kids. Yama-chan, please help me take these drinks out” he handed me a tray. “Be careful, it’s heavy” he said as I took it and headed to the living room. “Come back when you’ve placed them okay? There’s something I want to talk about” he added. I glanced back at him questioningly for a second before continuing my steps.
“What is it?” I asked the now serious looking Yabu-kun. He was on a chair, legs crossed and one hand on his chin as if in deep thought. “Yabu-kun?” I called out to him and he was back to reality. “Ah, Yama-chan, you’re back” “Why so serious?” asked the curious me. “Oh~ it’s nothing” he brushed it off. I stared at him, unconvinced “So, what was it you wanted to talk to me about?” I decided to let the topic drop. Yabu-kun smirked “She definitely likes you” “Huh?” “Don’t try to deny it young man, this is your chance!” “C-chance? What for?” “Stop pretending to be an idiot, I know you like her too. All you ever talk about is her, for God’s sake!” he stated. I stared at the floor, trying to stop the blood rising up to my cheeks with no success. He chuckled “You’re really an amateur on this aren’t you? Just confess already” I looked up at the older boy, one whom I thought of as a brother. “What if…you know….it ruins our relationship?” I uttered my uneasiness. “Daijobu! Trust me, it’ll be fine” he said reassuringly.
“Alright….hear me out….”
