Chapter 3 - I lied

-On the way back home-

Breeze of the wind can be heard, the glass was swinging side to side. It was cold on the way back home. There was an awkward silent between them. Rena was wearing a cardigan and she was still feeling very cold. she put her hand into her pocket to warm herself but it doesn't seems very effective. Jurina noticed that Rena was feeling cold. She took out her red scarf from her bag and wrap around Rena's neck. Rena's face expression was shock and flashed red.

'W-hhh-a--' she was shuttering.

Jurina smiled and said 'I was guessing that you are cold, so I figure out my scarf can help you since I'm not using it.'

Rena blushed red. 'T-han-ksss' she said it with a small voice.

Rena POV

She noticed that I'm cold.

'Rena-chan, why are you so shy when you are around me? ' she asked me

How am i going answer her ?

Cause you are a popular girl and I'm just a nobody, I wouldn't think that you will reject the girls, just to go home with me and you putting a scarf around me. I just stay silent and looked on the ground. Suddenly she bent down and look at me, her face was really close to my face. I stunned and stopped.

'Sorry, sorry. I thought you were crying.' She said after realise she was too close to me.

Gosh. She is making my heart races really quickly , what should I do? I didn't have this kind of feeling before. I couldn't stay near to her, cause is like I'm under her spell.

'Is okay.' I try to stay calm and smile.

'Alrite! Shall we play a game then?' She asked me.

'Game?'

'Yeap! Let's do that! Is a question and answer game!' She show me a killing smile.

'O...k...aa..y' I couldn't refuse her after she show me that smile

'Then let's decide who start first with jan ken! '

1, 2, 3. Jan ken pon! I lose.

'Yay! I won!' She shouted like a kid. 'I get to ask you first'

'Rena-chan, why are you so shy around me?'

Are you kidding me? This question again? You are not getting over it are you?

"I'm not shy.... just-tt Cause you make my heart beats fast and I don't know why.' I answered

'.....' She stay silent and gave me the look

The awkward silent appear again. 

That's what I imagined, if I answer her the question with honest answer. I pull myself back to reality and answer her.

'Because I am a shy person, especially to those that I'm not really close too'

I lied.

'Well! The game has just started, we can get to know each other by the time we get home' she smiled.

Is this why she wanted to play this game?

'Is your turn Rena-chan.' There are so many questions I want to ask about her.

'Why did you choose to go home with me rather then going to karaoke with the bunch of cool kids?

'Cause.... I think you are much more interesting than them. I want to be your friend!' She answered

Me interesting? This is the first time someone told me that other than Jun. A small smile appeared on my face without realising while I thought about Jun.

'What are you thinking?' She asked me.

'Is that a question? You sure you want to waste your turn just to ask me that?' I smirked.

'Eeee..... You are evil! That is not counted as one! I'll ask you a different question!' She pouted.

She is so cute.

Jurina POV

But I really want to know what is she thinking though! Ahhhh!! She is such a meanie. Maybe I should ask what does she like to eat.

'Rena-chan, what do you like to eat?' I asked.

'MELON PAN!' A big wide smile appear on her face.

So melon pan can make her so happy huh. I'm jealous of it! I can't make her smile so brightly. I am jealous of melon pan? W-hat am I thinking.

'My turn now! What's your favourite food then?' She asked

'My mom's spaghetti , is the best in the world! Next time when she comes back to Japan I'll call you over for some.' I smiled

'Okayyy.......' She smiled

Her smile just shorten my life, gosh! Part of me is thinking that she should smile more and another part of me just want to keep her smile just for myself. Is my turn now. What should I ask? Ah! I will ask for her number, so that I can text her later. I smirked to her. She looks scared a moment.

'My turn now uh! (I smirked.) I'm going to ask....... To exchange phone number!' I smiled.

'...... Why would you want my number when you don't even have a phone?' She asked

So she was listening to the conversation between me and the girls earlier.

'Who said I don't have a phone?' I took out my phone and show it to her with a smirk on my face.

'.....' She is speechless

Rena POV.

Wh-at ? H-ow? She said it when the girls asked for her phone number. Why would she....

'I lied....' She played with her finger while she speak.

She lied.

'I doesn't want to give anyone my number.'

Eh?

'But why do you want to give your number to someone like me?' I'm confused.

Why me?

'Cause you are special.' she show me a cat smile, and her cheek was a little bit pinkish.

I could feel my blood rushing upon my cheek. Gosh, I'm blushing red now. Why am I special?

Jurina POV

You are special cause you are my first love Rena-chan.

You are special cause you make my heart races when I was with you.

You are special cause without you, my meaning of life will be nothing.

I never once stop missing you, since 7 years ago.

Maybe someday I will tell you, why you are special.

'Can we exchange number then? ' I show her my puppy eyes.

'S....ssss...u......r..e' she blushed

After we exchange number, without realizing, we have already reach her house. What wasn't shocking that our house is actually just a few blocks away from each other.

'This is your house? My house is just a few block away' I knew her house was close to mine, since is my old house.

'Really??? Wow! It's like we are fated to meet huh.' She said with a smile on her face.

Fated? Now think about it! We are fated to be together. Our house is so close together, we attend the same school, my first love was you.

'It seem so.' I smile.

'I have to go in now.' She smile.

'Alright, bye! See you tomorrow then, Rena-chan.'

Rena POV

Gosh! Why did I say fated? That was embarrassing. Ahh. And she smile too!

Dump. Dump

Again.

She make my heart skips a beat , what's wrong with me?

'O...kay. See you tomorrow.' I blushed very hard.

After I close the door, I lean against it. I put my hand right to my chest. I felt my heart is going to burst any minute. Gosh! Is no good to stay too long around her.

What am I feeling?
