Chapter 2 - The Unpleasant Meeting

This is the last semester of my high school life, thought it went just like the rest but that idea of mine just blew in two days, a new transfer student from tokyo and the upcoming fest just so much going on that I am unable to keep up, Sakura Izuya has joined our class on the 2nd day of last semester, she seems a bit different from others to me, normally I have no issues talking to anyone even if I don't have any friends but around her, I am just too nervous and when I see her, she seems a bit uncomfortable around me. She sits on the right desk to mine, that day was a bit too much for me I left school immediately after bell rang, today I didn't wait for Ichinose and Sekke either, on my way home in market, suddenly shota came and grabbed me from front. "huh ?" I shocked a little, " Shota where are you ?" sounded like Mrs. Izuya. "Oh, Tomoya huh, there you are Shota, so you run towards him" said Mrs. Izuya, "look mom I found big brother" said Shota, "it looks like he's very fond of you" said Mrs. Izuya. "Looks like you went to market with Shota, here let me help you with carrying that" I offered her a hand to hold the stuff that she bought from market, "You're such a nice kid, Tomoya" Mrs. Izuya said. After that I accompany Mrs. Izuya and Shota to their home carrying their stuff, when we almost reach their house I saw someone standing near their home with..with...with silver haairr, don't tell me that she's, suddenly I remembered that the transfer student's name was Sakura Izuya, "Mrs. Izuya, by any chance is your daughter's name is Sakura ?" I asked to Mrs. Izuya, "Tomoya, how did you huh are you in the same class as my daughter" Mrs. Izuya said, "hah, hah, this world isn't that big now is it" I replied to Mrs. Izuya though I was wondering how would I am gonna react after all she's the girl I running from for no reason. We reached Izuya's home where Sakura was waiting for her mother, seeing me with her mother was quite shocking for her too, that reminds isn't she a bit uncomfortable around me I wonder if it because I saw her last night. Her mother explained to Sakura how I knew them then they offer me a cup of tea that I couldn't resist after Shota kindly ask me with his cute face. When I was leaving the place, her mother told Sakura to see me off which she accepted a little hesitantly. When we went out of her house she again thanked for helping out his brother and then she said "You saw me didn't you last night", "I did but what were you doing on the Street ?" I asked her, "huh" she reacted shockingly and said "you mean you didn't see anything", "well yes, what were you doing anyway" I replied, "Oh nothing.." she said and after that she just acted weirdly, but after that she didn't look uncomfortable to me, I don't know what she was up to but she definitely don't want anyone to know about it, so I won't ask her again but that doesn't mean I am gonna leave it. Afterwards I went to home having dinner with my parents, I asked my mom about Izuya's, my mom said that she already met her and know that I have met them too and that their daughter is in the same class as I am, "hey if you knew why didn't you told me that before" I asked my mom, and she replied "there won't be any fun left in that kid now is there", my parents were laughing after that, I felt like a joker now, oh I remembered something, "Hey mom, do you know anything about Mr. Izuya ?" I asked my parents, they got silent suddenly, though I continued "well its just when I asked to Shota, he told me that he didn't come with them, is it because he had some important work in Tokyo and he's going to join them soon or is there something else" my parents stayed silent and I asked them again then my father told to chill out and not to worry about it, I wonder what he really mean, but what was clear to me was the fact that he definitely tried to Dodge that question so I didn't ask again but I'll soon find it myself after all Shota seems very sad without his dad some times, afterwards I returned to my room and started wondering that what I was thinking about Sakura might all be false, means she just acts like a normal girl and there is nothing different about her from other girls, except the fact that she got silver hair wonder how did she get her hair like that was it natural or else, well I'll left everything for now I have so much to do right now and I am not talking about school work or games, I want to see Sakura again tonight and I'll be ready this time, I took that toy binoculars and sit near the window in the position so that I can see everything happening on the street through binoculars and I brought some snacks and cold drinks if required so that I don't have to go to kitchen, then I said it in my mind 'Operation Uncovering Sakura's Secret begins' and was focusing on street when suddenly, "Hey Tomoya, what's you doing kid ?" my father smashed open the door and became the bare witness of what I was doing, unable to react I just stare his face in that position having binoculars in my hand, in those intense moment me and my father just stare each other when my father smiled a little and said "I was here looking for some manly talk with my son but now I see you don't need it" and went downstairs towards mom and said "honey, our kid has become a pervert who uses toy binoculars to stare at people going through street in night" he said it so loud that it was even clearer to me, I gather up everything and piled it in a drawer, then I used the cushions to block my ears with as much force as I can while burying myself in the Bisutare my last words for the night was "Abandon, Abandon Operation Uncovering Sakura's Secret, retreat, retreat now or you'll a goner soldier".
