Are We Friends?

After classes had finished, Kai walked out with a smile. Once he had reached the exit hands covered his eyes. The person covering his eyes said in a false voice,

“Guess who!”

“I don’t know but whoever it is better get there hands off of my eyes.”

“Well that’s no way to treat a friend.”

“Friend? I don’t have any friends.”

The hand released his eyes.

“So... So we’re not friends?”

Kai turned and his eyes widened.

Behind him was Yuki. She stood there crying with a worried face.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I was not aware that you were my friend. Please do not cry. I assure you that if you wish to be friends then we are!”

“Really?” She said standing there with a smile and tears.

“Yes.”

She smiled and ran to him. She put her head on Kai’s chest and wrapped her arms over his neck. Kai’s eyes widened but then he smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist.

She trembled as she spoke.

“I’m so glad I met you! You have made me happy and I am extremely thankful! Please promise me that you will always be there for me!”

“I promise. I am glad you are pleased.”

“Let’s walk home together?”

“Okay.”

They began to walk away together. They both were very curious what the other was thinking but did not speak to each other. There was a thick tension in the air. Finally, the silence had broke because of Yuki.

“It’s terribly sad that we only have one class together. I had not seen you until fifth period and the rest of the day we were separated.”

“Well...”

“Aye?”

“I was not present for my first four periods.”

“WHAT?!”

“Why? Are you upset?”

“YES! VERY! WHY WERE YOU NOT PRESENT?!”

“I just did not feel like waking up.”

“Where do you live?”

“Why?”

“Heh, you will see.” She had a sly smirk stuck to her face.

“Well I live in the building over there.” He said as he pointed to a large building to the right.

“WHAT?! YOU LIVE IN A MANSION!”

“No. In fact, I despise this house. My dad is the CEO of this big family corporation and I have to take over soon. When that occurs I will not wish to live there any longer.”

“That must not be easy.”

“Yes.”

“Well I must be on my way. I only live three houses away so don’t worry about me getting home.”

“Okay, I will see you tomorrow!”

“Bye!” She yelled as she was running away.

She had a large smile as she ran away. She knew she would see him the next day and looked forward to it. She was no longer sure that he was the same person as before but was beginning to love him just as much. In a way, she felt guilty. She was not sure if he was the same person but fell in love anyway and felt as if she was betraying her love. Was she?
