Chapter 4 - Soyuki Yui

"On the road I walked up to a crosswalk, waiting for Mizuku to show up. I can't tell anyone about that nightmare and if I did want to talk about it to someone, it would be Yuri.

Im sure she will understand how I feel but now its not the time."

I was lost in my thoughts, when I heard someone calling my name in the distance.

I saw a girl running towards me at full speed.

"Kura wait for me!!"

It was Mizuku. She is definitely more late than me. She always wakes up late even when there is a special event. Well each person has different passion. Mizuku passion was sleeping and waking up late.

"Come on Mizuku let's hurry up! We don't have time to waste and we might get in trouble."

"Ok Kura let's go. But you are not trying to ignore me are you?

"why will I try to ignore you anyway Mizuku?"

"whatever Kura let's just go ok?"

What's with Mizuku today? I didn't even ignore her and even if I did, I would just let her walk the way to the academy herself.

We both arrived at the academy tired and sweating at the same time.

"Ok Mizuku go to your class. I will see you

later!"

"Ok Kura take care."

I see Mizuku hurry up, going to her classroom.

I walked up to the hall and suddenly, I just stood there looking everywhere.

I started remembering the nightmare I had yesterday in the academy .

I started to have a headache and trying not think about it.

I went to my class pretending nothing happened to me. I still couldn't forget about this nightmare that I had. It just haunts my head and my mind.

Everything went normal in class though.

I could still focus on my work and everything.

When classes was over, The teacher gave us a lot of homework to do today and I was complaining so much even if I did like to studying.

As always, I look for Mizuku if she was around so we could sit and talk. I found her sitting next to Yuri, Sayko and Soyuki on a bench. I approached them timidly. Mizuku and the others looked up at me and saw me coming.

"H-Hi girls! How are you all doing today?"

"Hello Kura! Nice to see you again." -Yuri

"what's up Kura!" -Sayko

I always thought that Sayko will hate me well guess I was wrong.

"How are you doing today Sayko?" -Kura

"Im doing fine Kura."

"Great then."

"Oh hello Soyuki" -Kura

"U-Um h-hello Ku-kura"

I saw Soyuki is looking at me and giving me a lovely smile while being shy.

"Can I sit next to you Soyuki?"

"Y-Yes Kura you can."

"So how are you doing today Soyuki?"

"I-Im doing fine and you?"

"Im great thank you for asking"

I look at Soyuki face and she seems to want to say something to me. Finally she spoke to me.

"Ku-Kura can you help me with my homework please?" Mizuku said you are intelligent so I thought you could help me!"

"Not a problem Soyuki. We will do our homework together alright?"

"y-yes"

"Kura you don't mind helping Soyuki right?-Mizuku

"N-No I don't mind"

We all started to talk until it was finally time to go home. Mizuku's face was looking kinda sad because she will have to go home herself today.

"Im sorry Mizuku. You will have to walk alone to go home today."

"Its ok Kura. She needs your help."

Without saying another word, she left with a sad face.

"Sayko, Yuri! Goodbye see you tommorow"

They both wave their hands saying goodbye to me and Soyuki.

"Soyuki should I go to your place or to my place?"

"I-If you don't mind can we go to your place?"

"Of course Soyuki! Let's go."

We both arrived at my place and it was quite near the academy so we didn't felt that tired.

"Ok Soyuki let's go to my room so we can get started. Put all your stuff on that table."

"O-Ok"

it feels so strange when am near a girl. Soyuki took a chair and sat down next to me, opening her book.

I glance at her face and realised she was looking at me several times.

I explained her all I knew about the homework and how to do it steps by steps.

It took some time but when we were finished, I told Soyuki that if she wanted to read together.

"Since you like reading, do you want to read a book Soyuki?"

"Yes I like reading. I don't mind!"

I grab a book from my bookshelf and put it down on the table.

Soyuki was looking at it with curiosity.

The book I put on the table was a story about a girl who suffered from bullying and mental illness.

Soyuki looked up at my face with a happy smile on her face.

"Kura you like to read about sad stories? That makes me happy because I like them a lot too."

"Yeah I started reading them when I was small. It gives you another feeling!"

"Let's read then" -Kura

"Y-Yes"

I put my hands on the book to open it, while suddenly i feel another hand on me.

Soyuki looked at me in the eyes.

We both stared at each other with a shocking face.

"I-im sorry I didn't mean to do that! Please forgive me!"

Her face turned red and she looks like she did something bad.

"N-No need to apologize ok?" It's not your fault. Just relax."

Soyuki bend her head down looking ashame for what she did.

"Come on Soyuki! Am not mad at you. you are a good person and I know you didn't do anything wrong,"

Soyuki looked at me with a firm smile.

"Th-Thank you Kura. No one ever said such sweet words to me".

"Its ok Soyuki. I got you. Let's read now!"

I opened the book and we both started to read. As im a slow reader it will take some time before I turn the other pages. I noticed that Soyuki has finish reading this page of the book.

She looked at me with a cute expression on her face.

"Kura it's ok don't rush. Take your time to read".

"Oh don't worry I just finished reading this page! You can turn the page if you want."

"Ok"

After an hour of reading, we both close the book and put our homework in our bags.

"Im sorry Kura it's time for me to head home now"

"Alright! let me walk you to the front door."

We both walked to the front door and went outside. It was getting quite dark and I know Soyuki's family would get worried if she comes late at home.

"Soyuki thank you for coming to study with me! I appreciate it very much."

"N-No im the one who needs to thank you for your help."

"Hehe Don't mention it!"

We both stare at each other's face and it was kinda weird and cute at the same time.

Soyuki suddenly grabs both my hand and started squeezing it. Her body slowly moves towards mine and her eyes started to close.

Her face was near mine and I started to feel dizzy. Her lips were getting close to my mouth and I felt astonished by this. I started closing my eyes too but then Soyuki immediately gets away from me.

"Wh-What was I thinking? Am so sorry! Forgive me Kura."

Without giving me a chance to say something, Soyuki runs off quickly.

I didn't know what to do at this moment. I just didn't know how to react!

Well I should forget about this incident and ask Soyuki tomorrow that am sorry that I acted like a creep.
