Aurora's POV
I couldn't be more thankful for my course selections throughout the years. Grade 9, 10, and 11 I took the hard energy-consuming courses so my senior year could go exactly like this, easy peasy. I have no classes after lunch but after class, I tutor the grades below me for extra credit. The only thing that's throwing me off with this schedule is my late lunch. Which comes along faster than I expected.
The cafeteria is large and cuts in half, so all cohorts all spread out during this period. people be roaming, running, skipping, kissing, sucking dick and doing handstands in this hallway. Every day I'm reminded of how many people attend this school. 4, 500 students for what? That's why the school has a permeant smell of B.O and 10 cans of bounce that ass.
I sit at a random table near one of the cafeteria exits and pull out my book. 'Let me hear a rhyme' I was only 4 chapters through the book, but the author already had me hooked to her work.
Someone's figure looms over the page I'm reading. It better not be any of the kids that I tutor, some think they can sit and be friends with me just because I tutor them. I've had that problem many times and it's always a hassle to get rid of the entitled ones. It's not that I don't like the kids I tutor it's just that we have nothing to talk about other than their failing grades.
The shadow stands there waiting for something I turn my head maybe they're not even here for me. A smile spreads across my face when I see Kaito stand a few feet away looking conflicted before noticing my eyes are on him. Kaito blurts out.
"Can I sit here?"
I doubt he'll hear me say yes from where he's standing, the cafeteria is loud and full of lingering conversations aside from our own. I pat the space next to me hoping he'll take the signal. Kaito's soon by my side with our thighs touching, he bounces his legs up and down before stopping then starting again.
I don't want a repeat of this morning where we stared at each other in awkward silence, so I decide to speak up, maybe he's just nervous.
"I'm Aurora, what's your name?"
I know this man's first name, nicknames, middle name, and last name, but he doesn't know that, and he doesn't need to. I finally close my book, turn my body towards him and give him my full attention. He responds professionally with his full name.
"Kaito Yamamoto."
I giggle at how planned out and professional he sounds. "I like your name; can I call you Kai for short though?"
He turns to me and looks at me weirdly.
"My name's only 5 letters short why would you need to shorten it more?"
I shrug, I think the name is cute. My question still hangs around unanswered, I won't say anything until he responds but I think either way I'm going to call him K just for the fun of it. He chuckles at me. That chuckle sent ripples staright to my kitty I swear.
"You really wanna call me Kai that bad hmm?"
I nod my head.
"Okay, only if I get to call you Rory." He smirks.
The way 'Rory' rolls off his tongue has me agreeing way too quickly. His voice is deep and raspy, I think he pronounces his 's' wrong but it's cute. A wide smile is on his face.
"Perfect" Kai mumbles more so to himself but he has a loud voice, so I hear him.
"Rory, have you eaten anything yet?"
During my rush out of the house, I had forgotten to pack myself anything and the cafeteria food during this period is all reused. I'll have to get used to packing my lunch every day now because I don't wanna be eating nobody's leftovers.
"Nah, I haven't eaten anything yet, the cafeteria food is dog shit."
"Do you wanna share lunch with me?"
I expected that answer. Kai is always so nice to everyone and it's common courtesy that you offer food to those who don't have any. "Depends on what you have."
He shyly smiles at me. "If you don't like anything I have we can go to McDonald's and get you something."
"That's okay Kai I'm not a picky eater, I'll eat anything."
Kai pulls out a wooden bento box, steam comes out as he lifts the lid up the box is filled to the brim with food. Fish, rice, eggs, and vegetables I feel my mouth water at the thought of me eating this. All of the food looks so good. He hands me chopsticks and our finger touch. His hands are soft his nails are cut short and look well kept. I take the chopsticks happily and say grace before eating. He looks at my face expectantly. "It tastes so good Kai; did you make this?"
"No, my mom did. I'm glad you like it though."
"Tell her I said thank you then."
Is it weird that I'm sharing lunch with a guy I barely know? I mean he looks harmless, but looks can be deceiving. Kaito is the first to break the comfortable silence. "Are you new here Rory?"
I frown, had he really not noticed me over these four years? Yeah, the school population is big but it's not like I'm invisible we've had a lot of classes together throughout the years too.
I can't really be mad at him it's not like I put myself out there to be noticed anyway. "I'm not new. I've been here since grade 9."
A deep red blush shows on his checks. "I'm sorry I hadn't noticed."
Yeah, you better be sorry! "It's okay Kai!" I say instead of what I had in mind.
He nods his head in understanding. "You want to play 21 questions or something?"
I shrug. "Sure."
"I'll start; If your life was a movie, what would it be called?" Kaito asks.
"How my death came along."
He looks me in the eyes with the most serious face I've seen anyone pull. "Deadass Rory?"
I give him my bitch face back before I let a smirk come through, a little smirk turns into a chuckle and my chuckles soon turn into me out of breath from laughing. Kaito laughs with me while his eyebrows are still raised in confusion, I don't think he knows what we're laughing about and I don't think I know why my damn self.
After back-and-forth ice breaker questions, I've learned that Kai likes to skateboard, do graffiti just for the adrenaline rush, spend time with his friends and has huge crushes on Megan thee stallion and Flo milli. I also found out that his favourite movie is Parasite, He likes watching anime, listening to rap music, and he's a total sweetheart.
I didn't think I could get this close to someone who I only met a few hours ago. It's Kai's turn to ask me the 19th question of 21. "Do you have any pets?"
I smile thinking about how lily is doing at home. "Yeah, I have a pet turtle."
"You're the only person I know with a pet turtle." Kai smiles at me. I wonder if he's attracted to me the way I'm attracted to him, I hope he is or else that would be embarrassing.
The bell rings meaning it's the end of lunch. Kai and I finished eating a long time ago and we've just been talking about the critical race theory for the past 5 mins. "What' your next class Rory?"
"I don't have any more class left, but I do have two 30-minute tutor sessions to tutor in the library." Ah, that sounds silly.
"I'll walk you!" Kaito says eagerly, I smirk trying to tease him.
He looks flustered and stumbles over his next words. "Oh, um o-only if y-you're okay with that."
"Of course I am!"

We make our way out the door and into the busy hallways. There are lost Grade 9s in every corner, I forgot that it was their first day of school too. The notorious high school gangbangers and the girls that had to be gangbanged into the gang walk through the hallways. Everyone minds their business because no one cares, people do things to get by and only God and their moms can judge them.
As we walk further into the school and by more and more people the closer I and Kai get. We walk side by side to the point where our arms and hands keep brushing past each other. If you want to hold my hand and fuck me, Kai, just say that. Lil horny freaky fuck.
My time with Kai is cut short when we reach the library doors, I can't help but feel sad about it. I'm not sure if we have any classes together since I was talking to my guidance counsellor about winning valedictorian last period. "When am I going to see you again?"
I look up at Kai. "What do you have for 2nd period?" I ask.
"Financial literacy, what about you?" Thank God we have at least one class together, he would be the only friend I have a class with this semester.
"I have the same class, so I'll see you then." I try and hide the excitement in my voice when I speak but I think it might have slipped through.
I remember that Kai told me he likes to skate maybe he knows the skatepark on Anderson we could link after school today if he does. "Are you busy later today Kai?" His face becomes flushed at my question.
"N-no, why?"
"I was just wondering if you know where the skatepark on Anderson is."
"I've only been there once but yeah I know where it is."
"Do you wanna hang out with me later today at Anderson?"
"I would like that, Rory."
He does something to me every time he says that nickname. My heart rate speeds up, my pussy throbs, and suddenly, I feel the need for him to be all over me. What's this feeling dawg? I ain't never felt this way before.
"Cool, what time do you think we should meet up?"
"Right after last period, so 2:30."
