Chapter Twenty One: Changes
I was sent to the counselors office for fighting and I sat in there for about 5 minutes until the administrator, Mr. Stevens, came in.
"What did you get yourself into this time Spencer?" he said.
Me and him were somewhat friends, as he was also adopted.
"You know me. Always getting in trouble." I said.
"Look, I'm just gonna let you off the hook since Xander was the one who started it. Just try not to get into anymore fights." he said in a disappointed voice.
"No promises." I said laughing.
I left the room and waited outside my algebra class for it to end. Eventually the bell ended and all the girls came out.
"Guys I'm sorry you had to se-." I was about to start apologizing but all of the girls pulled me in for a hug.
"Oh my God, my boyfriend is a legend!" Monika said.
"You're a badass." Natsuki said.
"Where did you learn to fight." Sayori said.
"You're our hero!" Yuri said.
They let go of me and Natsuki looked at me.
"As a matter of fact, I have some more guys I'd like you to go beat up." she said.
"Look, I'm not a fighting machine." I said scratching the back of my head. Natsuki ignored what I said. I think she started plotting all the people to get revenge on.
I guess this whole situation was to my benefit, as I really REALLY didn't like algebra.
After that was my Spanish class. I had to explain to the girls that not everyone spoke English like us, and that people from different countries speak different languages.
It was almost funny watching them trying to speak Spanish. For some reason though, Monika was pretty good at it.
Our last classes were science and history. Sayori made a baking soda volcano and was completely amazed by it. In history, Yuri was the whiz of the group. The bell rang at 2:40 and we finally got to go home.
We all got into my car. Yuri sat in the passenger seat and laid her head down on the dashboard.
"I'm... so... tired..." she said. I patted Yuri on the back and began to drive home.
We got in the door and the first thing Yuri, Sayori, and Monika did when they got home was go to bed. I laughed to myself, as I was the one who got the least amount of sleep last night.
I leaned up against my counter and checked my phone. Looks like my friend Drew texted me. I was about to read it until Natsuki came over to me.
"Remember what you promised me last night?" she said.
"What did I promise?" I said.
"You said that we would go get supplies for cupcakes."
"Oh shit... I totally forgot. Uhm yeah let's go." I said.
Me and Natsuki walked back down to my car and made our way to our nearest grocery store. On the way there Natsuki sparked conversation.
"Why do you fight people." she said.
"I mostly do it to people who deserve it. I like to think that karma chooses me to punish those who have bad karma." I said.
Natsuki giggled a little bit.
"Well thanks for... you know, showing that guy whose boss." she said.
"Well I wasn't going to let some guy trip a cute girl and get away with it." I said.
Natsuki got all flustered and faced the window. I laughed to myself a little bit.
Eventually we made it to the grocery store. It was a little shop that had a bunch of baking supplies.
Natsuki looked amazed as she walked down the aisle looking at all the various colors of icings.
"Let's get these ones!" she said while pointing at pink icings.
I grabbed the icing off the shelf and placed it in the basket. Natsuki ran over to a little shelf off to the side and picked out some little pearl shaped candies to put on top of the icing.
We picked out a yellow cake bake mix for our cupcakes. I went to check out until Natsuki saw the baker behind the counter icing a cupcake.
"Woah! Look at the Russian tip on that one." she said.
"Russian tip?" I asked.
"Yeah, you see that little metal thing on the bottom of the icing bag. That's called a Russian tip. That's how they put all the cute designs on the cupcakes."
"Oh wow... that's what they're called." I laughed. That was some useless information but I let Natsuki have her fun.
"Can we get one? A Russian tip I mean. It'll make my cupcakes look sooooooo cute." Natsuki said.
"Yeah why not." I said. Natsuki ran over to a basket on a table and picked out a small metal tip.
She looked excitedly at everything that we bought.
"Th-thanks." she said on the way back.
"Don't mention it... just save some for me okay." I said.
"Haha okay."
We made our way back to my house and walked through the door. The girls were still sleeping so it gave me and Natsuki time to make cupcakes.
I poured the baking mix into my Kitchen Aid mixer and began to mix it all together.
Natsuki made me turn away while she added her "secret ingredient." Is it bad that I was somewhat concerned at what the ingredient was?
I put the cupcakes in the oven and began to make the icing.
"You remember when we did this in the game?" Natsuki said.
I laughed a little bit.
"Yeah... it was so cute what we did." I said.
I should've known Natsuki was up to something. She scooped a big glob of icing and smeared it on my face.
"Haha got you!" Natsuki said.
I tried to stretch my tongue to lick off the icing, but it was too far away. Natsuki laughed at my attempts.
"You look like an idiot!" she said while laughing hysterically.
"Fine, I'mma get you back then." I said while I smeared icing on Natsuki's face.
Natsuki grabbed another glob of icing and tried to get me again, but I grabbed her wrist.
"Haha I got you now." I said. I pinned her up against the wall with both of her hands above her head.
"N-no fair, you're stronger than me!" she said while laughing.
We both stood there for a moment until we finally realized it. We were in the exact situation that we were in the game.
I had Natsuki against the wall with both of us having icing on our faces. We looked into each other's eyes for a moment. Something was different than the game though. We both had our own free will. We could do what we wanted.
Natsuki lunged forward and kissed me. While I had my eyes closed grabbed the glob of icing off of my face. She pulled away and smiled at me as she ate the icing.
"I've always wanted to do that..." she said.
