As they walked to school, they chatted a bit about
anime they like and which manga they are gonna
start. But as soon as they separated, Kakashi saw
Kanda Makoto talking to her friends. He was
feeling nervous. He walked towards that group.
"Hey everyone, how are you doing?" (Kakashi nervously)
"We are good, what's the matter Kakashi?"
That was said by one of the girls from that group
as she saw that he was kind of fidgety.
"Ah, it's nothing... Never mind that, Makoto-san.
May I talk to you about something in private
when you have some time today?" (Kakashi still nervous)
"Oh, is it something important? We can talk now.
Let me get my stuff." (Makoto thinking it is something
school-related)
They left toward the gym. As they came in
the passage in between two buildings, Kakashi
suddenly stopped and turned around.
"Listen, I need to tell you something." (Kakashi seriously)
"Yes?" (Makoto inquiring)
"You know, I... I really... I really like you! I would
like to..." (Kakashi bowing down with his heart in his words)
"Oh? Did you call me here for that? You know, I
don't think of you in that way. You are kinda smart,
but you can't have my heart because I don't find you
enough for me. I don't believe you could
understand my needs and you keep away from
most of the happenings. I don't believe you could
suffice." (Makoto offending him in return while thinking
she is better than him)
"You know..." (Kakashi still trying)
"You have taken enough of my time already. I
need to go back to my friends. I don't care
enough to keep listening to you" (Makoto like a bitch)
She left him there heartbroken since he liked her
for quite some time. And as she left, she waved
nonchalantly.
He was feeling like someone has stepped on his
heart and moved their foot like putting out a
cigarette butt. But as he looked after her, he said
to himself that he is going to take more time to
make himself more likeable and to find a girl who
will understand his already present qualities
more.
The day in school took forever to finish and as it
went by, he would be looked at with all kinds of
emotions by the girls who were in that group.
There were sad, angry, and sometimes downright
evil eyes. But he told himself that he simply
needs to keep moving and meet life head-on.
As the day ended he picked up his little bro and
they went home. Seems like his brother saw that
he was not OK and asked no questions.
When they came inside his mother was the first
to speak.
"Ah, it didn't go well. I am sorry son, but things
don't turn out always as we want them to. Don't
let it get to you. You will find someone soon
enough." (Akemi consulting her son)
"Don't matter mom. I'm going to need some time to
process everything, but as soon as I get over it,
I'm going to go and meet a nice girl who I will love
and who will love me. Just let me have a bit of
time for myself to arrange my thoughts and
emotions so that I can be ready for it when it
comes." (Kakashi not crying but close to it)
"Oh, kids, I forgot to tell you, we are going to
Croatia in summer, so when your school is done,
your bags need to be packed as well. You are
finally going to meet your cousins for the first time.
Luka, I think you are going to fit in just well, but
Kakashi, I believe you should be just a bit bolder
about your thoughts and actions when
interacting with everyone. If you speak your mind
and bring down your courtesy just a bit, show
that you stand by what you say, you should find
no problems in your stay there." (Josip bringing news to
the table)
"OK, dad in 2 weeks school is over, so I will be
ready to go the moment I come back from
school. Now please let me go and spend some
time watching shows and reading novels to calm
myself down." (Kakashi already sorting himself out)
"Just go ahead son, I know perfectly how it feels
to be shot down after you confess to someone.
Don't stay closed up for too long though, it can
make you go crazy if you think about it too
much." (Josip consulting him)
He was met with a suspicious look from Akemi
to which he shook all over in fear.
"OK dad!" (Kakashi with a strong will)
He then left upstairs to his room and as he
passed the duct he could hear his mother asking:
"Oh, so you got shot down? How many times did
that happen if I may know? I should ask those
women what they saw in you not to accept your
heart. So I can reevaluate what I know about
you." (Akemi messing with her husband)
"Oh please, that actually happened when I was
kinda out of it all, and I did some pretty crazy
things. What I told our dear son was all from
personal experience. And you know everything
already. How long do we know each other? 21
years already? 22?" (Josip telling about his youth
while shaking his head and then looking at Akemi with
stars in his eyes)
"Ah, yeah, it is almost a quarter of a century now
honey. I hope your family is still as whacky as
they used to be back in the day." (Akemi laughing)
The time before the trip passed quickly to
everyone except Kakashi, who was still sad for
most of the day. But on the day they
were supposed to go. He and his little brother ran
inside with expectant looks on their faces saying
in unison:
"When are we going? Our bags are already
packed as you said. So, is the plane going soon?"
"Amazing, you kids are already packed. If I told this
to one of my brothers only now would they start
packing. We leave after you get something to eat.
The plane leaves in 3 hours. It should be at least a 19
hour flight since it's on the other side of the
planet, so bring sufficient entertainment for the
flight, and when we get there don't separate from
your mother and me. You don't know the
place. Your Croatian should be fine since we
speak it sometimes, only your accent is a bit
rough but that should go away in a few
weeks." (Josip with a know-it-all face)
