Nami Kurosawa

I really must be honest with myself. I don't want to date Rei anymore. I just don't feel the same way about her. Furthermore, I would much rather date Nami. I am just going to have to be a lot more careful with Nami than I was with Rei. One reason is that I am afraid of getting hurt again. Another reason is that I want to have a real relationship with Nami. Rei and I were on top of each other before we got to know each other. I would not exactly say that I made a mistake doing that, but it opened me up for a world of hurt.

But do I want to abandon Rei completely? I still want to be her friend and if I do not do something, Rei might attach herself to that monster Yuri completely. I would rather die than have something like that happen to me. I think that I will feel guilty about it if I do not do something even if my former girlfriend is a lost cause. I only wish that I knew what I should do. I still want to be Rei's friend and a real friend would not leave someone to fend for herself against that tramp Yuri. If only there was someone that I could ask for advice. There is only one person I feel comfortable asking for advice about this subject and that is of course Nami. After all, she once fell into the same trap that Rei is in now. I dial her number and wait.

"Hello?" Nami asked over the phone.

Somehow Nami's voice made me so nervous that I could barely speak. I really don't know why I am getting this way when I have only seen her once.

"Um... hi... This... this is Suki if you remember me."

"Of course I remember you," Nami spoke in a cheery voice that was almost flirty. She might have been flirting with me now that I think about it. "How could I forget a pretty girl like you?"

"I sure could use someone to talk to now," I pleaded.

"Would you like for me to pick you up and bring you to my place so we can hang out?" Nami asked.

"Yeah, I think I would like that," I said after letting out a shocked breath. "Do you think that I could crash at your place tonight? That would be easier for me than going over there and heading right back."

"Sure, I've got plenty of room," Nami agreed. "I can even give you a ride to school tomorrow."

"I'll see you soon. My address is 12 Sakura Drive. Bye." I spoke to end the phone call.

As I was making tomorrow's lunch, I wondered why I was heading to this woman's house since I barely knew her. Part of me thought that I was crazy for doing so especially because of what happened with Rei. I was packing my school uniform and a nightgown into an overnight back while thinking about the ramifications of my actions. I knew I was just going to visit a friend to talk, but I was still nervous while packing my bag of school supplies. The last thing I packed before locking my door and leaving was my red toothbrush.

As soon as I left my apartment, I saw a bright red convertible waiting at the curb for me. Since the top was down, I could easily see that the hot blonde Nami was waiting for me. As I was loading my stuff into the back seat, I remembered all of the times that my my parents told me not to get in a car with a stranger. Nami certainly qualifies as a stranger since I have only talked to her once, but I still feel like I can trust her. That might be what my problem is. I am too trusting.
