Chapter 14- Xenophon

I and Eiko exited the school premises and went to the other pathway, along with other students. We decided to go hangout after our exams to ease up our minds. The weather was great today, I could feel the heat of the sun striking my pure British white skin.

"The sky is sunny today huh?" I admired.

"Yeah, it's rare to have a sunny day on a raining season" Eiko replied.

"Say about the weather... Does Britain always snow?" Eiko questioned me.

"Well if you go to Scotland, yes but in London, it's cold there mate" I answered Eiko.

We were thinking of any topics that we could bring up, but I couldn't think any. Neither Eiko it's now starting to get weird until.

"Xenophon, about you what is your past?" Eiko questioned.

"Past? You meant before I came to this school?" I asked back.

"Yes," Eiko replied.

"Well... I was just a normal student has only a few friends, but they can be relied on. I have this girl once and he was my friend's brother, I've had an interest in her, but she was already taken so..." I answered.

"So you guys didn't hook up?" Eiko replied.

"Of course yes, her bf is a jerk so it's easy to get her" I boasted.

"Bold move" Eiko admired.

"Eh, eventually we had to break up because I have to go back to Tokyo, so It's a lose" I shrugged.

"That's sad" She replied.

"Also why did you went to Britain? Instead of staying in Japan?" Eiko asked away.

"I don't know either, My parents, just wanted me to experience British life, I didn't complain about anything as I wanted to experience it also" I answered.

After I answered, I could hear something from my left ear a bike speeding... I grabbed Eiko's shoulders and pulled her to the side "Hey!" She said.

The bike that I heard earlier passed by us from where Eiko was positioned earlier. Apparently, the bike doesn't have a bell and the biker is distracted with something.

"Nice save, how did you know?" Eiko admired.

"I used to stalk people" I answered blankly.

Eiko widened her eyes in disbelief and looks away from me.

"Nah im joking, I just had a good sense of hearing" I added.

Eiko stayed silent causing me to feel the awkwardness and thinking about what I just said.

Bloody hell did I say something wrong?

I heard a giggle from Eiko eliminating my anxiety.

"I'm just joking with you, you don't have to be serious" Eiko continued her giggle.

"Speaking of pasts, about yours... Who is your crush back in middle school?" I added.

"Back in middle school, There is this one guy "Tashiro", I have a crush on him back in middle school with Emi-San. Tashiro is really cute like cute as you" I make a grinding look onto my face.

"And he was a nice friend I always relied on him whenever I have troubles, unfortunately, he died..." My grinding look disappeared and was replaced with startling emotions.

"What happened to him?" I questioned.

"He died during the Tokyo riots" She looked down the footpath, then stopping onto the did of the pathway causing me to stop as well. I could hear her sobbing, droplets of tears flow onto her face and to the footpath. 

"I could've saved him... If I was just in time" She continued sobbing, then dragging her hands onto her face covering it.

"I'm sorry Eiko" I was about to hug her, then a loud familiar voice shouted behind me.

"Sister!" It was Daiki called out Eiko.

He approached our position, then he heard crying. I was about to hug Eiko until Daiki pushed me down.

"Sis! You alright!?" He didn't look at my face after he pushed me down.

When he looked at me, he instantly recognized me "What did you do to her!?" He glared at me.

"He did nothing Oni-chan! I was just telling the story of Tashiro" She quickly shouted.

He quit glaring at me and reached out his right hand. I grabbed his hand using my right hand.

"That was a nice push right there mate" I admired Daiki.

"Tactics from the Tokyo riots, I guess" He replied.

"Are you hurt?" He added.

I take a good look at my self twisting my arms and legs "Nope im good"

"But bloody hell dude you pushed me well" I continued admiring.

"Yeah? Sorry about that" Daiki continue to apologize to me.

The three of us continued our way towards Saikō no ryōri. When we arrived at the restaurant, there were few people waiting in line, Some were couples and some were with kids. When we were going to wait in line we were instantly greeted by a waiter.

"Hello welcome to Saikō no ryōri, where would you like to sit?" The blue-haired guy questioned us.

He handed us a clipboard showing all of the sectors. Since this is my first time going here I have to pass the clipboard to Eiko.

"Uhh, Eiko here you choose what sector we would go" I handed her the clipboard.

She got the clipboard from my hands "Teen sector please, three persons"

"Wait are you Eiko?" The blue-haired waiter asked.

"Yes," She answered.

"Oh, right you were with Emi Suzuki last time" The blue-haired waiter replied.

"Alright table for three at the teen sector here" The blue-haired waiter then gave Eiko a table number card.

We went inside the restaurant since the teen sector has few students, which means more tables.

When we entered the teen sector, there were a few students majority are with groups of four. By observing the groups, they wore the Jindai high school uniform.

The three of us sat down onto the table that the Blue-haired waiter gave us.

"Xeno-Kun" Daiki from the opposite table called out my name. Catching my interest.

Eiko also from opposite of the table listened in the conversation of me and Daiki.

"Yes? Daiki?" I shoot back.

"Do you like my Sister?" He grinned, I and Eiko turned red we were both flustered.

"What!? No!" I shouted attracting the attention of the nearby students, they all turned their heads towards us.

Daiki whizzed, then turning into full-blown laughter.

"Jesus dude calm down im just messing with you guys" Daiki reassured us, the students that were looking at us now minded their businesses.

Eiko turned her head onto Daiki glaring at him.

She lifted her right hand onto the level of Daiki's stomach, then slowly approached it, intensely pinching it.

"Ow ow ow!" I chuckled as Daiki suffers from Eiko's pinch.

"Sorry! Please stop it! Ow!" Daiki begs.

My chuckle turned into full-blown laughter, as Daiki is still being pinched by Eiko. Eventually, Eiko stopped pinching giving Daiki a lesson.

"Next time you shouldn't be doing that to her" I gave a jokingly advice to Daiki, as he is in pain.

"Looks like you guys are having a good time" A familiar voice greeted us.

I glance into the familiar speaker.

"What would you guys like to order?" Itsuki asked.

"Hey mate" I greeted him back.

"Hey Itsuki-Kun" Eiko also greeted.

"Hey, Ow" Daiki still complained about his pain.

"We would like to order..." Eiko snatches the menu from the table.

"1 large fries and a Chocolate Milk with bubble" Eiko ordered.

"I would get Chocolate Milk with bubble" I ordered.

"Small fries and Iced tea" Daiki added.

"Alright," Itsuki wrote down all the orders that we chose.

"Is that all?" Itsuki asked us.

"Yes," I and the twins replied in unison.

"Ok, I will have your orders prepared" Itsuki, then walked quickly towards the kitchen.

As he walks towards the kitchen I kept my sight onto him, dragging my eyes as he walks.

"Xeno-Kun where did you learn Japanese?" Daiki catches my attention.

I turned my head straight towards him "I taught myself with the help of my parents and Japanese cousins"

"For how long?" Daiki asked.

"For about a year or so, I couldn't recall" I answered.

"It's must've been hard for an English person to learn Japanese" Eiko joins in the conversation.

"Nah, I found Japanese to be easy" I replied.

"Although I still suck at Traditional Japanese language" I added.

"You'll get used to it" Daiki replied.

"God, I miss my mates back in London" I gave a gloomy sigh.

"Do you guys have contact?" Daiki questioned.

"Yes, but I miss interacting with them" I answered.

"I mean you guys are great mates, but the friends that I have in London are special" I added.

"What do you guys always do?" Eiko questioned.

"Race our bikes onto the downtown districts" I simply replied.

Daiki was about to raise his mouth until Itsuki came to put down all the orders.

"Alright guys, here are your orders" Itsuki plotted the trays onto the table including the bill.

Eiko glance into Itsuki "Thanks, Itsuki-Kun"

"Just doing my job, anyway I gotta go and do some more orders, see you guys on Sunday?" Itsuki shoots back.

"Yeah" Eiko replied.

"Anyways see you guys later" He walked about from the table, leaving only the three of us.
