I brighten up a little bit. It's a much better prospect than just moping around, and I'm grateful for the change of subject. "Sure, that'd be great." It wouldn't be bad to have Rin as a friend. He was a cool kid. "Got anything in mind, or just general hanging out?" I ask.

"I don't know," Ichimaru-kun laughs, "Do you like video games?" I smile, they seem to be getting along. "Hey guys I'm back" I say, cheerily. "Unfortunatly, my mom texted me and said that she wanted me home to baby sit." I say, attempting to apear dissapointed, but I'm not entirly sure if I nailed it. "See you!" I call, as I walk out the door.

I laugh. "I'm a lazy couch potato. Of course I like video games." Haruka comes back but is just as quickly gone. "...bye?" There's something off about her story but I just can't put my finger on it. I shrug it off and turn back to Rin. "So what kind of video game do you play? Since we were just ditched by my good friend Haru-chan, and we've pretty much missed school completely, why don't we head back to my place and play some? I'm sure I have something you'll like."

"Sure," I say, "Lead the way." This is working out, maybe being friends isn't so bad. We'd get to hang out all the time.

I lead the way to my house, which isn't too far away, and slip up to my room. It's pretty small, and seems even smaller because of the mess. "Excuse the mess. I haven't cleaned up from my fight with the ninjas yet," I joke. I clear off enough of a space on the bed that two people can sit down comfortably. "So what games do you like to play?" I ask, pointing to a two-foot stack of games next to my bed.

"well...I love the old school ones. You know, like Atari and Nintendo 64." I laugh nervously. "Have any of those?"

I laugh. "Well, I don't think I have anything quite that old, but I have pleanty of Mario games. And Pong for the Wii, if you want to go mixing old and new school," I say, thinking. "Mostly I have first-person shooters and story-based games."

"Hah okay, let's play pong then," I find a controller and pick it up. "Then later we can play Halo: Mondern Warfare." I smile

"You've got that a little mixed up, but I like the idea," I laugh. "Pong it is." I turn on the Wii with my remote. I love Wii's. I don't have to get up at all when I don't need to switch out a game. I select a two player pong game. "Ready?"

I wonder what Dai-chan and Ichimaru-kun are doing right now. I'm sitting around on my couch, my family is all out, and I'm really bored. Then my phone rings. I jump at the chance to do something. "Hello?" I answer, "Dai-chan!"

"Hey, Haru-chan. I wanted to ask you, why did you leave so suddenly earlier, while we were getting ice cream? It was really wierd." She had left so fast that I didn't get a chance to ask then.

"Weird?" I ask, attempting to sound like I don't know what he's talking about. He sighs, knowing he's not going to get anything from me. We spend the rest of the night talking like we usually do until my mom yelled at me to go to bed.
.a . few . months . passed.[/center] "Dai-chaaaaaaaan! Ichimaru-kuuuuuuun!" Haruka yells, waving from her bedroom window, "I'll be down in a bit!" I've finally done it. I'm now closer to Kazuhiko-san than ever. Now if only I could be closer...i shake my head. Stop thinking that way. As long as we can be friends for a long time, I'm okay with that. "Check out this new app I got! It let's you find an item by taking a picture and scanning the picture!" I pull out my phone to show him.

I shake my head as Haruka runs out. "You know, it's a sad thing that your phone is so much newer than mine, and yet mine is less of a brick," I comment, turning to Ichimaru. "What do you think?" I ask him.

I wave to Haruka-chan and answer Kazuhiko-san. "Hah well i would rather have an awesome frikin brick than an unresponsive, glitchy, smaller one!" I tease him. Haruka walks up, smiley as usual. It's actually kinda of annoying when you have to be around it all day. "She holds up her phone, "Have you heard of this new app yet?!" she sounds excited. "It lets you find places and items using pictures of it! It's so cool!" Ichimaru-kun laughs. "What a cooincidence! We were just talking about this!" i gesture between me and Kazuhiko-san.
As we walk to school, laughing and having a good time like always, I can't help but think about it. All day and on the way home too. "What's up Tsuchimi? You look like you've been in deep thought all day." Ichimaru-kun asks. "It's- it's nothing." I say, glancing towards Dai-chan. "I've gotta go. Later!" I wave to Ichimaru-kun. I have to leave before I cry. I don't know why I feel like crying though. But even so tears start to well up in my eyes. "Haruka. I- I- I- I LOVE YOU HARUKA!! I think back to what he'd said while we were studying at his house a couple months ago. That night I had left abruptly. Grabbing my things, practically running out the door. But now It almost seemed like nothing had happened. Except that at the same time, it did. I blink the tears that hadn't fallen yet away and take a deep breath. As I reach for the keys in my bag I think, 'Love. What about it destroys people? Why does it make people go insane and homicidal? I don't get it. At least, that's what I used to think. Love. What is Love?'

I stare after Haruka as she runs away, a little longingly. I try not to show it, but her rejection is still tearing me apart, slowly but surely. I turn to Ichimaru. "Well, Ichimaru-chan, I don't have anything to do today, so if you want we could hang out." Since Haruka ditched us. I use my most charming smile to hide the pain. Looking at him makes me think, just a little bit, that he's the reason she rejected me. It's stupid and I push it out of my mind instantly, but the idea keeps creeping back into my mind every so often.
