“Are you okay?” The boy asked again this time looking at her with concern,
“Yeah, I’m fine,” Iori said automatically stepping away from the handsome stranger who was looking at her like she was a weirdo. And perhaps she was, for looking at him like that.
“Sorry, I didn’t see you on the floor,” She added trying to sound as civil as possible.
“No worries,” He answered giving Iori a heart stopping smile, “It’s my fault to be sleeping there in the first place. But in my defense, no one ever comes here so I didn’t think something like this would happen,”
Iori chuckled, “You’re straightforward…”
He chuckled alongside her, “Your english is good…” He commented stepping back and giving Iori her space.
As if she realized it for the first time, she looked up at him for a moment her mind doing a quick flashback. Back when she&r
Jun leaned back against the bookshelves and stared at the book he was holding in his hand. He had been reading and rereading the same paragraph for the best part of an hour... "I wonder if she's going to come back here..." He muttered then stopped himself not liking the track of his own thoughts. It was one time, one little meeting that happened in coincidence. Why was he expecting her to come back here? Sighing in frustration he stood up and made his way toward the shelf where he took the book he was reading. He couldn’t concentrate on the content anyway, he could as well take a nap until it was time to go back to that damned class. Since Shou just made another girlfriend, the traitor was rarely there, so Jun would be on his own against those annoying flies that keep circling around him… Memorizing the page where he stopped he put the book back in its place. He would be back here after school anyway, there was nothing to do back at home. His
"Where do you think you're going?" Sou called out from behind Jun just as he was leaving the classroom and heading down the hallway. Jun turned around and waited until Shou jogged to reach him before talking, "Why are you asking?" He asked his friend "It's been hard to get ahold of you these days. I rarely ever see you around anymore." He complained, "Isn't that because you've been so engrossed in your last girlfriend for the better part of the month and now that you're free you're starting to remember that you have a friend in the same class as yours that you've barely talked to these days?" Jun retorted "Ouch. Touchy much?" Shou said feigning being hurt. The guy was as thick skinned as a turtle shell. If he was going to get hurt by this much, he wouldn't have managed t become Jun's friend in the first place, "What's with the sudden interest in my whereabouts. Are you between girlfriends again?" Jun asked and Shou gave him a grin that
“You’re going there again?” Shun asked and Iori sighed“What’s the matter with you? Why are so hell bent on stopping me from going there?” Iori asked“You shouldn’t trust him. What if he knows who you really are?”“He won’t because I haven’t even told him my name yet. And besides there’s no harm with socializing with others. This is the reason we go to school. We get to know people and experience life…”“Are you sure this is what it is? Aren’t you hiding something from me about him?”“There’s nothing to hide,we’re friends and it’s not like I have to report my friends back to you…” Iori protested her annoyance spiking up. Shun was being a jerk and Iori didn’t even understand why.“You guys aren’t just friends, I saw the way you’ve been looking at each other when you thought n
Jun smiled when he heard someone approach him,"You're here early,"Turning around he realized that the person he was expecting to find standing there was different. He looked at the familiar face he had only seen from afar and straightened. He had known this confrontation was coming, it was inevitable since he met this guy's gaze a few weeks ago, he knew that it was going to come down to this. The question remains, what this guy wanted to say to him..."You're expecting someone else?" The guy asked sauntering toward him and Jun stood up casually brushing the back of his pants.This was something that they both needed to do on even grounds."As a matter of fact, I am waiting for someone. You seem to be here for a reason..." He commented"Stay away from her." He warned and Jun smirked.As expected, this was the jealous childhood friend..."Who are you talking about?" Jun asked, if he was lucky enough, he could
Iori stood there staring at him for a moment, somehow, he seemed… upset. Deeply so.“Is everything okay?” She asked himHe looked at her for a moment seeming startled,“Yeah, why?” he asked straightening up and approaching her,“You seem to be kind of off… Did something happen?”“Nothing worth mentioning. The usual annoying pests that’s all…” He told her, “More importantly, did you read the latest release from that magazine? It has a sequel of the story we talked about back then!”“Yeah,” Iori admitted accepting how he changed the subject, she wasn’t about to force him to tell her what was bothering him. He would talk if and when he was ready and she will be there to listen when that happened,“I couldn’t have imagined that that side character would be so interesting. He was always quiet in the background all the time.
Jun’s heart fluttered in his chest and he felt like his feet didn’t touch the ground anymore. Her beautiful eyes had lowered in shy approval making Jun almost lose the little hold he had on his control. Somehow, he knew that this was her first kiss even before their lips met.And the fact that she willingly gave it to him made him feel like he was ten feet taller and could carry mountains and run with them. This was how much he cherished her. Not as a conquest, but a special person whom he cared for more than he did for anyone before.This was the person he had fallen in love with.Jun pressed his lips to hers savoring the sweetness of the moment. Her soft fleshy lips made him want to bite them, but instead, he gently nipped at them until she opened them for him allowing him entrance.There was a level of exhilaration that he had never felt before. A rush of barely restrained energy and excitement filled him.Ever so slowly, Jun pulled
Iori sat there stunned for a long while her mind blank and her body feeling like it was on the clouds surrounded by fluffiness and warmth. Her hand reached up to touch her lips o so tenderly careful not to disturb the tingling remain of the presence of his lips against hers and she smiled to herself.It was her first kiss… Her very first kiss. And even though she lacked experience or comparison material she knew that it had been a phenomenal first kiss. A kiss that made her feel cherished and wanted at the same time…By the time Iori’s mind was present enough to realize anything around her it was already past the first period’s time. Sighing, she leaned back on the shelves picking up one of the books and starting to read it.She would deal with her absence and Shun’s annoyance later.Iori’s phone pinged just as she was starting to get into the book, a text from her brother.“Where are you?”&
Jun dashed out of class as soon as the bell rang. He was all but running into the corridor when Shou appeared in front of him.“Hi!” He called out.“Where did you go?” Jun asked him feeling restless for some reason.“Just looking up your mystery girl. There was a little bit of a hard game going on so I wanted to make sure of everything. I wanted to call you back then but there was no way of getting you out of class sorry man,”“What do you mean?” Jun asked his heart sinking at the way Shou was looking at him.“She left…” Shou said“What do you mean she left?” Jun asked not processing what Shou was saying“I don’t know what happened, but, before I could talk to anyone, someone from her family came to pick her up along with that guy she’s always with. I still have to look it up but it has something to do with her family and she had to transf
