CHAPTER FIVE

 

People would probably be pointing and taking pictures of the sharks as you walk down the narrow hall but not me! I leisurely skipped through and eventually ended up in the sea lion section of the aquarium.

 

“Kaoru-san, How did it go? If you ask me, it went HORRIBLE! Akira wouldn't participate and he kept puking all over again! DAMN SEAL!” Misao furiously gripped her hair and tugged at it.

 

“Fine…” I replied dreamily.

 

She probably noticed my strange behavior because she started going around in circles around me. I, of course, ignored her completely. I sighed heavily as I twirled wet strands of hair around my finger.

 

“You have a date with a guy at Friday, 7 pm, right?” she asked, placing both hands steadily on her waist. I couldn't lie to her, she is my best friend after all, and why do you think she knows me so well? I nodded my head slowly eyes dreamily gazing into the water.

 

“Well?” she said a bit sternly.

 

“Uh-huh…”

 

“With who?!” she demanded, eyebrows furrowing with complete anger.

 

“A guy…” I carelessly whispered.

 

“AAARRRGGHHH! You're not making any sense! What's his name?!”

 

“Ken…shin…” I whispered and sighed heavily.

 

“You met someone for the first time and he's already taking you out?! Don't you think you're going a little too fast?”

 

“Who said I met him just now?!” I asked as I snapped back.

 

“Coz I don't know him…you always tell me…”

 

“…”

 

“…why didn't you tell me you met someone?” she said quite upset.

 

“I'M YOUR BEST FRIEND!” she added.

 

“Kenshin! Come on! The red head who saved me!”

 

“HIM?! But he's SO old!”

 

“is not!”

 

“is too!”

“…so he asked me out…” I finished as I rocked slowly on the couch back and forth. Unfortunately, I left Misao quite confused as she left me with one of her dazed blank expressions.

 

“Huh?”

 

“HE ASKED ME OUT! And I couldn't say no…”

 

“Why not?” she asked as she took a sip from her cup.

 

“Cause…I…li…like him…” I stammered and covered up with a sip from mine.

 

“But he's so old!”

 

“IS NOT! You don't see wrinkles at the corner of his eyes don't you?”

 

“Man! You do like him! Oooh! Cold-hearted `Cow' is finally dating again! I'm so excited!” Misao giddied herself as she hugged a throw-pillow beside her, “yeah, me too.” I smiled.

 

I crept to my room and plopped myself completely. I looked up and saw the sketch of him. His features are striking my eyes again! The eyes, the lips…Man I AM desperate! I stared longer when sleep finally caught up with me…

“Kaoru-san! Today's a great day! The boss got so proud of us for our good work yesterday and decided to give us a day off! Woot, woot!” Misao rambled as she jumped on my bed.

 

“mmmmm…”

 

“GET UP! Let's go shopping or something!”

 

“Too…sleepy…”

“Let's go look for your outfit on your date with…”

 

“That's what I'm talking about!”

“These are all too perverted! What kinda person would wanna put holes on the breast area?!” I commented on a pink sleeveless blouse with…holes…

 

“You're too shallow! There's some cover, BDUH!” she said as she took out a smaller pink top inside.

 

“I can't wear this! What if we were just gonna see a movie and not to some `snotty-snot' ball!”

 

“Kaoru-san, it's not a dress. It's not a gown. It's a semi-formal blouse that will go well with this!” Misao lifted a white miniskirt.

 

“Oh my god that is so cute! And it's got a matching belt…nice…”

 

“Look! It's that red head!”

 

“Really?!” I turned to the entrance door, and with no doubt, it was Kenshin…

 

…with another…

 

…girl…
