Chapter 39 - I Like Him

Some students helped washed vegetables, cut meat and vegetables, and helped stirred the food in the pot or pan. "Ayumi! Let's go help the others out once we finish unpacking our stuffs yeah?" Kaya asked. She nodded her head and smile, "Will do."

Sanyu was cutting the meat in bite sized pieces and marinated them to grill it. "Wow! You're good at cooking dude!" Ren tells him as he watches him cook. "Thanks bro," Sanyu laughs awkwardly. He is not used to being complimented just yet. Ayumi comes out of the cabin along with Kaya and they both go help the teachers cook. "Chef Ayumi has arrived!!" Kaya yells out with happiness.

The teachers and students looks at them. "Can you cook?" A teacher asks her. "Yes, I can." Ayumi answered back. "Well then what are you doing?! Come help us out!" Laughed Mr.Kageyama. Sanyu smiles at the sight of Ayumi then continues on cooking.

Kaya sees Yuuto sitting alone at the bench nearby a tree. She walks over to him, "Won't you come help us cook? What are you doing here? Just being somber?" His head lied down on the wooden bench table, "I don't feel so good.." She makes a face, "What do you mean?" He slowly breathes and closes his eyes, "My head.. it aches throbbing in pain."

She reaches out for his forehead, "You're sick! Why didn't you tell me earlier?!" "Didn't want to worry you, yet you just had to come over here to me, don't come close to me. You'll get sick too," he pushes her away from him. Kaya didn't want to make it obvious that she likes him, "As a friend, it's their duty to take care of their friends, but if you're just going to push me away, then I cannot help you."

"So? What can you do anyways?" He questions her in an irritated tone. "Stay here. I'll go grab some medicine I packed," she leaves him alone. Seeing Ayumi really boiled Sona's blood, but there was nothing she could do about it when she had lost the fight already.

Many students were amazed at Sanyu's cooking skills, their jaws dropped and watched in awe. Ayumi has cooked stir fried teriyaki beef with vegetables for everyone to eat. The students and teachers gathered up to eat up after long time of cooking. After grabbing her medicine, she walks up to Sanyu, "Can you make the soup you made for Ayumi when she was sick? Yuuto is sick. But don't tell anyone." He looks at her, "Sure." Then starts cooking right away.

Quickly, she hurried back to Yuuto to give him some medicine. Mae goes up to Sanyu, "Would you like some help?" He nods his head, "Well, sure I guess if you're willing to help me.. you can chop the vegetables. Not to big, not to small, but the perfect size for us to eat. About.. 2-3 inches?" "Okay," She starts chopping the washed vegetables.

Kaya gives Yuuto the medicine and some warm water for him to drink, "If you're this sick, then please don't stay outside, it'll be better for you if you stay inside the cabin and have some good rest." After taking the medicine and gulping down his water he looks into her eyes, "Why do you care about me so much? Am I that special?" Her eyes widens at the words he spoke out to her.

"You're a Delinquent who knows of nothing and is always ignorant and annoying. You wouldn't even know how to survive if you were to be alone. I'm here to help and guide you through because you're that dumb. So, not that you're special, just because you're DUMB!" She annoyingly yells back at him then walks away. He sighs as he watches her leave then lies his head down on the bench table again.

Ayumi looks at Kaya coming towards her, "What's wrong? Why do you look so mad?" "Nothing," she replies. "What happened?" Ayumi asked. "Yuuto is just being a total idiot," Kaya says. Ayumi then looks over to the bench table where he was lying his head down on. Suddenly, Kaya grabs Ayumi away and goes into their room inside the cabin.

"What now?" Ayumi asked her. "Don't tell anyone except for Sanyu, though he probably already knows but I don't know," she begins talking. Ayumi's eyes widens and she leans back a bit as Kaya talked towards her. Kaya took a deep breathe then told Ayumi, "I like him. My silly heart likes that Delinquent over there! I don't know what to do.. it hurts so much when he pushed me away and spoke to me in a irritated tone.."

Ayumi is surprised, "When did you started liking Yuuto??" "Shhhh!!! You're being too damn loud girl!!" She headlocks Ayumi. "I tap out! Let me go!" Ayumi yells. She lets go of Ayumi, "But I think I starred liking him ever since he started hanging out with us.. the more he and I talked to each other.. I found out that he really isn't a bad person, even though he acts like one and actually fights other students and gets suspended.. but he's a good person, I can see that inside of him. I just liked him for who he was."

"That's really cute of you. Since when did you become so girly like me?" Ayumi smiled and teased her. "Hey! I was ONCE girly before too.." Kaya pouted her lips. Ayumi laughed, "I envy you so much. You're a strong person and can lead others so immaculately. You have good advices and always help people out in their needs of time. You're a really good person as I'm glad to have you as my best friend." Those words warmed Kaya's heart, "Thank you.."

Ayumi hugged Kaya, "Take your time before you confess to him, don't rush yourself." Kaya smiles, "I will do so."
