[FIC] The Transfer Student 2
“Where is he?! I told him to be here right after the last class had ended!” I muttered to myself. I had been waiting in my office for over half an hour and still no sign of him. So I decided to go looking. I hoped he was still in the building and didn’t go home.
I couldn’t find him on the first floor, but I heard some noise of moving furniture on the second floor so I rushed upstairs and there he was in one of the classrooms. And to my surprise, he was cleaning!
I was about to yell at him and ask why the hell he didn’t come to my office before he started cleaning but I got distracted. Because it was a warm day, he had taken off his shirt and his sweaty upper body was glistening in the sun. “He looks good!”
*Doki Doki Doki*
My heart started beating out of control. “What is happening? Why is my heart beating like this? I’m not feeling sick or anything.” After watching him for a couple minutes, my heart hadn’t slowed down a bit. “I have to stop looking at him! What will he think if he sees me staring at him like this?” It’s like he heard me thinking it, because when I wanted to turn around he looked up and stared right into my eyes. My heart stopped for just a second and went of beating furiously again.
“Nakamaru-kaichou? What’s the matter? You look like you’re about to faint!” He came closer but I didn’t want him to, because every step he took closer to me did my heart react. He touched my forehead.
“You feel hot! Nakamaru-kaichou! Are you feeling sick?” I couldn’t react, his touch was too much. I felt my head turn red and I froze. And seeing him so close to me, I could see every inch from his bare chest. “So pretty”
“Um… I’m fine… I just... Bye!” I started running back downstairs to my office.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My heart had just cooled down when I heard someone knocking on my door. I didn’t say anything ‘cause I knew who it was and I wasn’t in the mood to talk to him.
“Nakamaru-kaichou! Are you ok? Say something!” Koki practically screamed. He sounded really worried.
“Just go! I’m fine! You don’t have to do your punishment anymore” I yelled back at him.
“I’ll go if you tell me what’s wrong! Open the door, please. If you’re not feeling well I’ll take you to a doctor!”
“Why does he have to be so worried about me? Now I have to open the door to assure him I’m alright” I really don’t want to see him again, what if my reaction to him gets worse? I don’t even know why I’m like this.
“Ok, wait a sec. I’ll open up.” I said calmly, like nothing happened at all and I swear I heard a sigh of relief on the other side of the door.
I opened the door and he still hadn’t put on his shirt, so my face turned instantly red and I avoided looking him in the eye.
“See, I’m fine. I don’t know what came over me but I’m fine now. Don’t worry, ok?”
“Really? You’re ok? Yokatta~!”
“Yeah, I’m fine. Let’s clean up the classroom you were working on and we’ll do the rest tomorrow.” A small smile appeared on my face. I was feeling a bit happy by seeing him so worried about me. Why though, I had no idea.
“Hai, let’s go”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After cleaning up he asked if I wanted to eat dinner. I accepted it was time for dinner anyway, so why not.
“Where do you want go?” Koki asked me. It didn’t matter to me so I let him decide.
“Ok, what do you think of that place at the corner of the street? I’ve been there a couple of times already and the food is there really good!” He said with a smile on his face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After ordering our dinner, we sat in silence. It was kinda awkward because I didn’t dare to look in his eyes and I was fidgeting. I was thinking about what those heart throbs meant but I couldn’t figure it out.
“Um, Nakamaru-kaichou? Can I ask you something?”
“Leave the Kaichou, just call me Nakamaru-san. We’re not in school anymore so… and what do you want to ask?”
“Ah, ok Nakamaru-san. Well, I was wondering… um… Do you hate me or something?”
I didn’t expect that question. “What do I have to answer? Yes, I hate you? That’s not even true, I don’t hate him. I thought I hated him but it’s something else…”
“Koki-kun, why would I hate you? I don’t even know you.”
“Ok” A big smile covered his face “My friends were saying that you had to hate me because you gave me such a harsh punishment for dying my hair.”
“Hehe, yeah. Maybe I overreacted a bit. But that doesn’t mean you’re off the hook, you know. I don’t want to see your hair blonde anymore.”
“Of course! I’ll dye it back to normal as soon as possible! I promise. So I don’t have to clean the classes anymore?”
“Yes, you don’t have to clean them. I already said I overreacted.”
“Thank you!!” He sprang up and hugged me. My heart went crazy again, I had to push him away but I couldn’t. That hug… it felt good.
“Um… Koki-kun, you can let go now.”
“Ahaha, gomen.” He scratched his head embarrassed and blushed.
Thank god the waitress brought the food or else we would’ve gone back to the awkward silence.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Gochisousama.” Koki said, I looked up and saw that he had already finished his plate, while mine was still half full.
“You’re a fast eater aren’t you?” I smiled.
“Ahah, yeah I am. I’m always hungry, hehe”
“You still want some, I’ll probably won’t even finish my food so if you want you can take some of my plate.”
“Really? I would love some more.” I giggled at the sight of his face lighting up when I gave him some of my food.
We didn’t say much more after this.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He had paid the bill, he wouldn’t let me pay it. Now we were walking home, the awkward atmosphere had changed into a loaded atmosphere. You could feel the electricity in the air and for some reason I wanted to touch him.
After a long silence, I saw him fidgeting again, like he wanted to say something but something kept him from saying it.
“Spill it” I said. “You want to say something right?”
“Ah yeah, Nakamaru-san, do you have a girlfriend?”
“WHAT?!” This came as a surprise, why would he want to know?
“Never mind, forget it” He said embarrassed, and a bit shocked. He probably didn’t expect me yelling like that.
“No it’s ok, I just didn’t expect that you wanted to ask me this. And to answer your question, no.”
“Ah, ok. Sorry for asking so suddenly I was just curious. You seem like a really popular guy you know. I mean you’re the class president, everybody speaks well about you and really good looking so.” He was talking really fast it was hard to keep up what he was saying but I did hear the good looking part. II felt happy.
“Haha, I’m not that popular. But thanks for telling me I’m good looking.” I laughed and his face turned bright red. “Cute”
“Well, thanks for walking me home. See you tomorrow at school?”
“You’re welcome! See you tomorrow!” He winked at me, chuckled and turned around.
I stood there, frozen to the floor while my heart was beating like crazy again. It took me 5 minutes to turn around and get inside. I could manage to say “tadaima” and went to my room.
“What was that? I feel weird when I’m with him. I don’t hate it, that’s obvious now. But what is it, if it’s not hate?”
