"Miss Watanabe, Miss Watanabe!! " was all I could heard. My eyes was feeling fuzzy and as I slowly opened my eyes I saw Yoshida Sensei in front of me. My memories were a bit hasty but then I recollect everything, about Yoshida Sensei, me running away and what Okuda tried to do. I felt so weak and scared that tears started to fell from my eyes and Yoshida Sensei stood beside me, he didn't spoke a word and just patted me. It must be his way of comforting, giving me a reassurance that everything will be alright.
After a while I felt a bit better, who knew I would have shown this side of me to my one and only crush then Yoshida sensei offered to ride me home, I felt quite happy and calm been with him. The ride home was silent and awkward with no one speaking but I felt happy just to be with him, I didn't want the ride to be over. He drop me off saying, "Have a good rest" Then left, just by hearing those words made me smile and comfort in my heart.
A week has passed since that incident and I'm finally going back to school. When I reached school I came to hear that Okuda has been suspended and facing disciplinary work. I was not really that happy from the news, as I wanted him to be expel from school, I did not want to see his face ever again. As I reached my class Marin came rushing over me and told me how concern she was for me and she started crying. I only told her yesterday about that incident and she was about to straight come to my house unless i come back to school today. I started to feel a lot better than before. Our homeroom started and I couldn't wait to see Yoshida sensei, just a glimpse of him makes my day and my heart flutter. He enters the class looking dashing as always and did we just made eye contact!!!
I am not mistaken, our eyes did met and did he just smile at me!!!? I couldn't believe it that he just smiled at me. I was grinning so hard that I could feel my cheeks turning hot. I was blushing so hard. Marin thought that I was abnormal with that kind of reaction but it's not my fault, I mean it's not every day that your crush makes eye contact and even smiles at you. Our homeroom class ended so quickly that I didn't even noticed. Marin said that she had to go early today as she was meeting up with her boyfriend, Shinzo Tanaka a 20 year old guy. I don't know why she's even going out with him. He literally have a bad reputation for flirting with every girl but Marin can't see that, she always brushes it off with excuses to believe in him. She really have bad taste in men but as the saying goes...LOVE IS BLIND, it really must be the case for her.
As I was walking alone at the hallway, I saw Yoshida sensei and he came towards me and asked to see him for a moment in his office. I was shocked and surprised for suddenly asking me to see him but also happy at the same time. And then I started feeling nervous that what if the same incident happens again, I'll be embarrassed to death and so this time I had to make myself prepared. I rushed off to the washroom and looked into the mirror, Hair - Check, Lips - Check, Face - Check. Everything looks great today, I'm totally ready to meet him.
I knocked at his door and took a deep breath as I entered the office. And there he was sitting in his chair looking at some documents seriously with his dreamy grey eyes. "You asked for me? Yoshida sensei" I said.
"Miss Watanabe, would you be free for dinner tonight" He asked. Did I just heard him right!!? He's asking me if I'm free for dinner tonight!!.... Is he asking me out on a dinner date!!?
"Miss Watanabe didn't you knew that your parents has invited me for dinner tonight? " He said
"No, i didn't had any idea" I replied while being flustered with angry at my parents. Why didn't they told me such an important information, and here i was going ahead with myself. Wait so he will be coming home tonight!!! Yoshida sensei is coming to my house for dinner!!! What am I even gonna wear!!
"They must have forgot to inform you, well then I will see you at dinner tonight, 6'0 Clock and rest assure it's not related with your academic grades" He said while smiling at me. My heart skip a beat at that moment, I would never forget how he smiled at me. He really has the greatest smile, i could just look at him the whole day. I exited his office looking so happy, people might think I must have gone crazy. But who cares it was my moment at that time. Today must be my lucky day since I get to see him again and for dinner that too. I couldn't even express how I felt and couldn't wait for the night to come.
Then suddenly I get a notification that reads : CHEERLEADING MEETING AT 5'O CLOCK. How could I even forgot about that!! The dinner is at 6'0 clock....Would I be able to reach home for dinner tonight?? Why why why does it have to be today!!! Of all the day,I didn't want to be late for dinner today... I was angry and my mood was so off as I head for the meeting, I didn't want to meet anyone and I even wanted to resign from my position as the head cheerleader. It's not every day that you get to have dinner with your crush!!
On the way I saw Toru Inoue a friend of Okuda and also a bunch of other footballers. They were practicing for the try outs and there I saw Yuki coaching them as the new Captain since Okuda had to resign from his position as he had been suspended for his behavior. Yuki was working hard, busy with the try outs so I didn't bother him and went straight for the meeting.
As I was entering, Hana Yughami - Okuda's ex girlfriend pushed me Intentionally and as I was so mood off I didn't even had the energy to deal with her... We sat down and I kept staring at the time as coach explained us about our next match. I didn't even paid attention to it as I was getting impatient and restless from all the waiting. The dinner was at 6'o clock and it was already 5:30 by now, then finally the meeting was over and I couldn't wait to reach home. Then as I went out it started drizzling, can my luck get any worse I thought as I started to run home because today Marin was supposed to be my ride home and so I didn't bother to bring my car but she went off early. Thank you Marin!! I really hope your date went well!!!
Then suddenly it started to pour heavily. I guess today is really not my day. Do I really have to miss out the dinner, I didn't want to but there was no other option as I saw no other student at school. And the next bus will arrive at 7'O clock, so I guess I'm really going miss out the dinner...And as I was nearly about to give up, some light flashes at me and as I turned around, I saw a car with it's door open. I wonder who it was...and so as I walk closer I saw that it was him, it was Yoshida sensei offering me a ride home. I got inside and he lend me his cardigan as my clothes were abit wet.
The cardigan smelled like the classic hot coffee, and I cannot control myself I wanted to keep getting close to him. He was having a chocolate while driving surprisingly, but I'm happy that i also got to see this side of him. Then he offered me, it tasted kinda bitter. This time the ride home was pretty fun, we talk about a lot of things and also came to know that we have a lot in common. I just looked in his eyes as he talk about his hobbies and interest then the car suddenly stop as there was a red light.
Then I don't know what came in me that I couldn't resist myself as I drew myself closer to his face and then I kissed him... Yup, I kissed my crush.
My first kiss was inside a car ,with the rain pouring heavily which really set the mood and the taste of my first Kiss tasted just like CHOCOLATE...BITTER CHOCOLATE !!!
