Alone

Chapter 5 You can call me Misaki, Haru-chan

I waved goodbye and started walking to the tent. It must be soaking wet. Goddamn it. "Haru-chan you live in a tent don't you. It's probally soaking wet. Why don't we get it and i can dry it for you? That sound good." So off we went and as I expected it was soaking wet and had no signs of any dry patches.

"Okimura... Thank you." She looked at me as we were walking and smiling. "Don't worry it's only a tent and it's my pleasure to help."I don't know how it was possible but she had an even bigger grin. "That's not it... Thanks for accepting me... I really don't deserve someone like you as a friend... Thank you... Okimura." She replied saying," No problemo. What are friends for, right?" She's so cheerful and kindhearted.

"This is it. Not much but it's my home." She looked at it with such adoring eyes," Kawaii!" Of course she would say that. I didn't expect anything else. "It's not that cute." She just smiled and giggled a little. It made me kind of blush. I went over to pick up my belongings and the tent.

Once we got back we put the tent up to dry and Okimura had an idea for us to eat dinner together. I must admit I was a little hungry. Ok I was very hungry. I offered to make dinner since she let me into her home. I was skilled in cooking. I had to be after all. Mum and Dad refused to feed the "spawn of Satan." I always gave them the benefit of the doubt though thinking of course they would be afraid of me. It's only natural. Which is why I got confused when Okimura wasn't afraid of me.

"Wow Haru. Yummy. You cook really quickly but elegantly at the same time. It looks so nice. ITADAKIMASU ." She looked at the food with admiration it can't be that good can it? " Aww It's so delicous yum-yum. Your so good at cooking Haru-chan."

"Thanks... Okimura. " She seems like she constantly smiles even so what she's been through it seems now it's liking she's hiding her tears behind her smile. Poor girl. Must have been through so much. We all had our fair share of hardships. Some more than others." You know Haru-chan you can call me by my first name Misaki is you want. It's fine i call you Haru-chan all the time so it seems natural that you would call me Misaki infact i demand it. "

" I guess it can't be helped... Misaki." She would never shut up if i didn't. " i don't think the tent will be tried so quickly it was soaked to the bone. We should leave it over night. You can go in the bed if you want i'll sleep on the couch after all that's a luxury you probally never had."

She was right though Mum and Dad always made me sleep on the coldest spot on the floor in the kitchen like a dog. " Thanks... I don't want to cause you any trouble." She looked at me angerly." You don't want to hurt my feelings right. GO TO BED!!!"

"Yes ma'am." A sudden chill ran down my spine. She sure can be scary when she wants to huh. I'd do well to play it safe. What have i gotten myself into?Stupid Haru.
