The sudden action Kagome did surprised me. I don’t know what she wants, and she haven’t speak any word to me right now.

  “Uhm…” I stated. “Why did you… put your head on my shoulder?”

  “There’s nothing wrong with that, right?” her head tilts, taking a glimpse at me. “Besides, we’re friends. So there’s nothing wrong with it.”

  Right, justifying the reason by we’re friends and what not. “You’re not thinking of pervy stuff, are you?”

  “Why would I?” I asked, tilting my head and looks at her.

  Kagome glares at me. “Because you’re a guy? And I’m still a girl even if I like girls.” her lips show a playful smile.

  “Just because I’m a guy doesn’t mean I have dirty thoughts. You’re getting stereotypical.” I replied with exasperation on my voice.

  She lifts off and faces me. “Really? You don’t have any dirty thoughts to me?”

  I shake my head in disagreement. “I don’t want to be labeled as a pervert.”

  Kagome’s eyes focuses on me, until her lips show a playful smile. “So, the time we hold hands, you don’t think any pervert things, right?”

  “Why should I?” I asked again. She giggles at my reply, finding it funny that I get annoyed by her questions. “Nothing, I just thought you had your eyes on me, too.”

  My brows furrowed on her rebut. “I should be grateful for your feelings but—”

  ”I like Senior Sakagami.”

  Before she proceeds, I let out those words. And without me thinking, my eyes widened from what I said.

  But what made me shocked further is her looks. Kagome show awe, slowly turn to calm and somewhat sad. “Oh, I see…” she speaks softly.

  “Uh, yeah…” I replied, showing bashfulness from what I said. “And I am planning to tell her how I truly feel after the exam.”

  Upon hearing it, Kagome looks at me. “What?”

  “I want to tell her how I truly feel.” I answered. My hands clenched, my eyes directly looks at her. “I want to go—”

  ”What are you two talking about?” popping in front of us is Kei, holding a paper bag of steamed meat buns as she eats a piece. “Hmmm?”

  Her eyes scrutinize upon me and Kagome. “Well, I was asking if there are subjects he’s getting tough, right?”

  Kagome turns to me, trying to answer and get along through the situation. “Ah, yeah… I said I was having a hard time in Math, so if it’s okay to her… she’s going to teach me some.”

  Though my words are a bit stifle and a lie, Kei nods at us. “I’m good at Math, too. Much better than Kagome.” her eyes sneer. Kagome felt the chill and averts off immediately.

  ”If you need help, I can help you out.” she added and smiles.

  “Y-yeah, sure. Thanks, Senior…” I answered. Her aura right now is a bit odd. Seeing us together with Kagome a little closer than before made her a bit anxious, that’s how I feel right now.

  “Kagome,” Kei turns to her and sits between us. “Want some meat bun?” she offers. Kagome responded with a nod and takes the bun on Kei’s hand. She nibbles it like a small animal, all while looking at Kei.

  “What about you, Kira?” she turns to me, holding a steamy, pipping hot meat bun. “Uh, yeah… sure.” I accept it and eats as well .

  The three of us becomes silent as we eat our food. It’s kind of stifle right now. I don’t even know what to say.

  “Hey, Kei.” Kagome cracks the silence between us three.

  “Hmmm?” Kei asked, she looks at Kagome. “What?”

  “You waited for 5 minutes to get these buns?” she asked, her brows furrowed.

  “Yeah,” Kei nodded with a reply. “It’s worth to wait, since the meat bun is juicy and delicious, right?”

  Her face show a sincere smile, giving affirmation on those words. “Plus, I made a thought to my career plan.” she grins.

  “What is it?” Kagome asked. Kei turns to her and to me, showing a wide grin on her lips. “I want to be a teacher.”

  That sudden declaration halted me and Kagome. “Well, to be exact… a Nursery teacher.” she added.

  “Oh, that’s a good one.” I replied with a smile shown on my face. “Thanks. I’ve been thinking about my career for awhile now. Since I’ll be in third year.”

  Kagome nods as she heard my words, and shows a smile. “I’m rooting for you, Kei. May you find happiness on your endeavors.” she rebutted.

  “Thanks, Kagome.” Kei answered with a smile on her lips.

  These two are really going along well. We finished eating up our food and drank our drinks. We also talked about random things until dusk hits through the sky.

  On our way to the train station, a phone call suddenly holds Kei and she excuses herself to answer it, leaving me and Kagome.

  “That Kei got jealous to me awhile ago, huh?” as Kei dashes to leave us alone, I heard Kagome mumbled those words.

  “I think she’s not…” I replied, though I don’t know if Kagome is telling me this or not. She then faces me. “She did.” she answered. “Sitting between us, and faces me to talk first instead of you, of course she’s jealous.”

  Kagome speaks, and her face right now is contorted with melancholy. Why?

  “I must be glad she sits beside me, but what is this? This hint of sadness drawing through me?”

  I didn’t say anything about it. “Whenever she talks to you… I—”

  “Sorry to keep you two waiting.” Before she proceeds, Kei runs towards us with an apologetic smile. “My mom calls, asking me where I am. Hehe.”

  “Oh, I see.” I replied and smiles. My eyes then turns to Kagome, her looks now becomes stoic; seems like I’m just imagining things.

  “Let’s be better going now. I know your mom will be worried about you.”

  “Yeah, let’s go.” Kei replied with a smile on her face. We proceed on our way back home. It’s around 6pm now, and the passengers are quite rowdy since it’s the start of the rush hour.

  We waited for our train to come. Standing beside me is Kei from my left and Kagome on my right. I don’t know what makes our set-up like this. I feel a bit awkward since two girls, not only ordinary, but pretty and cool girls beside me.

  “I find it fun.” Kei stated, her head tilts to see us two. “Our set-up like this.”

  “Huh?” I asked.

  “Me, you and Kagome. The two people I love the most.” she beams a bright and sincere smile. Kagome didn’t rebut, but shows a gentle smile at her.

  “And the two people I don’t want to lose.” Kei added. Her words are sincere and genuine; I can see it through her. As she says it, I also feel fluttered and shows a smile on my lips.

  Yet, from that moment, I feel Kagome’s hand gripping me. I didn’t know why, but she didn’t look at me while holding my hand. I want to ask but the train suddenly arrived.

  The door opens and she let go of my hand, quickly boarded inside as we follow together with the other passengers. Throughout our way to our stations, the full-packed car causes a slight steer in the passengers.

  Our bodies colliding to each other; Kei and Kagome are facing ther back at each other, as I face Kagome. We didn’t speak anything; just the sound of rustles of our clothes.

  “Say, Kira…” Kagome whispers to me.

  “Hmmm?” I asked.

  Without saying any word, Kagome’s arm linked on my body. “I want to embrace you. Is that okay?”

  “Huh?”

  She didn’t answer my question. Before I proceed with another thought, I caught myself kissing Kagome behind her friend.
