The Confession
Chapter Two: The Confession
“You should tell him you like him, Ryou!” Yugi clapped enthusiastically, bouncing up and down in his seat.
Yugi and Malik were now insisting day in and day out that I tell Bakura that I liked him. Ugh. The thought of it was enough to make me barf from nervousness. It had been a week since Bakura had caught me staring at him. And since then, I am proud to say he has said 17 words to me.
“It’s 12:30.”
“No, I don’t want any.”
“What is that?”
And my favorite, “Are you going to finish eating that?”
My heart flutters just thinking about him reaching over and grabbing my half eaten basket of fries.
“Come on Ryou, what’s the worst that can happen?” Malik pleaded.
“Well…hmm, let me think, he laughs in my face, tells his friends who laugh in my face, who tell the whole school who laugh in my face and I die of complete mortification.”
“Oh, don’t be so dramatic Ryou, not everyone in the school would laugh at you!” Yugi can be so encouraging sometimes.
“Bakura likes people who speak their mind.” Malik added.
“How do you know that?”
“You can’t tell? Look who he’s friends with. Plus, I overheard him say something to Marik about killing all the clones in the school.” Malik smiled, biting into his sandwich.
“But what in the world would I say!?”
“Tell him you want to ride him like an animal and you won’t be satisfied until he pumps you dry!” Yugi giggled, I just ignored his comment, looking to Malik for some more sound advice.
He chewed his sandwich thoughtfully, brows furrowed in concentration.
“Well, you don’t want to have him think you’re a stalker, so best keep it simple…hmm…just say that you think he’s really cool and that you should go out sometime.”
“Ugh! I can’t say that! What if he says no?!”
“So? He’ll just think that you thinks he’s cute…or something.”
I was getting sweaty just thinking about it…I kept replaying visions of telling him, just to be met with laughter…yes, lots of laughter.
“You’ll feel better if you just do it today.”
“TODAY!? I can’t do it today!”
Oh my god, today! They’re crazy! That gives me no time to play over every possible scenario in my head to come up with the proper reaction.
“Yes, Ryou today. Before you have time to think about it too much and back out. And if you don’t do it today, you will no longer be invited to movie night and don’t pretend you don’t want to go, I heard you talking about that new bunny movie that came out.”
Curse Malik for knowing me so well! I took a deep breath as the three of us began making our plans for what I would do. Okay, mostly Malik and I and Yugi making derogatory comments throughout. What had Yami done to him?
Flash forward to the end of the day, the previous few hours spent rehearsing my lines and sweating like a pig. Everything was going to plan as I was still conscious and walking.
My legs felt like jelly as I walked outside, I think someone said something to me on my way out…I think I replied, but who the hell knows? All I could think about was how much I wanted Bakura to have left early or something so I didn’t have to go through with this.
I took a deep breath as I stepped out the school doors. Walking to the circle of benches, my heart sped up as I saw him sitting there. Dammit! So much for getting out of this. He was sitting on a picnic table casually eating an apple as if he had all the time in the world. I slowly moseyed over to him, pretending like I was taking a little stroll around the benches because…you know…everyone walks around benches for fun. Maybe he would get up soon. I’ll just walk around one more time. Crap I can see Malik hiding behind that tree. Damn him for knowing me so well!
And so, I walk to my doom, standing in front of him waiting for him to acknowledge my presence. He lazily looks down at me, taking another bite of his apple.
“Yes?”
I stare at him for about an eternity, but he just keeps looking at me, waiting for me to say something.
“Um…hi?”
Did I really just say that?
“What do you want?”
I want to tell you that you are one fine piece of ass and I want to jump your bones—no! Bad Ryou! That’s not what you rehearsed!
Okay…another deep breath. Just say it.
Say it..
Come on Ryou, he’s just staring at you!
“Ithinkyourecoolandwantedtogooutsometime.”
Whew
“What?”
Great…I have to do it again!?
“Umm…I-I think you’re cool and I…um…think it would be cool if we uh hung out…some…time.”
My heart was racing a mile a minute. I looked up at him, waiting for him to say something. Every second feeling like an eternity. He takes another bite of his apple and smiles. Nope…doesn’t say a word…just smiles, he gives me this smile. And then…
He just gets up…and…and leaves.
I stare after him as he walks away, not knowing what to say or do. So I stand there frozen as if he’s suddenly going to come back.
“Well, what did he say?” I shake myself out of my stupor and turn to find Malik looking at me anxiously.
“Smile.” I say disillusioned.
“He said, ‘smile’?”
“What? Oh, no…nothing.”
“Ryou, you aren’t making any sense.” Malik scratched the back of his head.
“He just left. I said it like we rehearsed and he just smiled, and then…he…he left!”
“Oh.”
Oh. Yeah…thanks. My favorite word to hear from a friend after you’ve completely sucked ass.
“Well…maybe he was just…shy!”
I give a groan and I stomp back into the school to gather my things. Malik following at my heels still trying to cheer me up from my disaster. It was the one situation I hadn’t envisioned in my road to mortification. He said something in all of them, even the one where he just laughed, at least it was something!
And so I go home to replay the scene in my head again and again. Now I’m starting to doubt what I even said. Why did he smile? Why did he just walk away like that? Maybe it was so he could go throw up at the thought of going out with me. Probably.
And so another week passes in silence. I can’t add any more words to my count as I have steered clear of him. Yugi and Malik actually had some decency to not make fun of me for once. Not that they needed to, I felt like a complete idiot enough on my own. God! What was I thinking telling him that? I’m starting to question my mental stability. No one just goes up to someone and says that!
And so the week passes like this, me reminding myself how stupid I am, and expecting everyone to turn and point and laugh at me at any moment. And then Friday comes. Officially one week since ‘the confession.’ I’m going to the bathroom, its near the end of the day and the weekend can’t come fast enough. I’m the only one in the room and I’m taking my time washing my hands. The door opens and I casually lift my head to see who it is.
And oh my fucking god, it’s him.
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttt
Okay, Ryou, keep cool man…keep cool. Just wash your hands and don’t…say…anything.
“Crazy week huh?” He says.
Word count: 20
“Yeah.”
“That test was ridiculous.”
“Yeah.”
“Is that all you can say?”
“Yeah…I mean…no.”
I start to leave before I can say anything else stupid, but he says something else before I can push the door open.
“I’m figuring you out, Ryou.”
I blink a couple times…trying to decipher what he just said. He doesn’t say anything else, just steps in the stall. I stand there a moment and then decide to leave. Repeating his words in my head.
I’m figuring you out, Ryou.
What the fuck?
AN: I think we all know how that feels people. : ) Love to read your reviews! They are my lifeline. : )
