So now (just so that it saves me time :p) I'll be posting two chapters of If I Could at a time.

Chapter 2: Realization and A Crush that Literally lasts two days
----------------
After lunch with Subaru, Ame, Hiromi, and Hime he was in a better mood then ever. At first he felt like an outsider but then it seemed like they opened their little clique and let him join. When he sat down at history class a familliar voice said "Looks like we're next to each other". He looked to his right and saw Hime. Hime (as he discovered) was a quiet sweet girl who didn't talk much. She was almost mysterious. Especially when her long hair hung down on her face framing it. Her eyes were the color of frozen hot chocolate, and at first glance she,seemed cold but if you got to know her more you'll see that she's very caring and sweet. Just quiet and reserved. "Hehe, I guess we are" Kana said softly. He was most attracted to her because unlike all the other girls he'd met, she reminded him of himself. They were much like each other that they just looked each other in the eye and knew what they were thinking. "Me and Hime are definitely soulmates" he thought. Finally his last period was over and the clock showed 3:30. As he was walking home someone tapped him on the shoulder. "That's my house" said Subaru. He looked in the direction she was pointing in and smiled. Her house was only 7 houses down from his. "I guess since we never knew each other since yesterday we never realized that we lived so close to each other" Kana said. Subaru giggled "Hehehehe I guess you're right. Well see you soon!" she said. And then she skipped away. When he got home Yoko was in her room studying. "So you've met Hiromi again and you didn't realize who he was" she said with a mischievous grin. "Who he-" then he stopped himself. "HIROMI KARUMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he shouted. "OUR COUSIN!!!!!!"

Chapter 3: Hiromi Karuma 🙇🏼and The Visit🏃🏻
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa THE Hiromi Karuma?" he asked. "What other Hiromi Karumas are there with freckles and blond hair who plays soccer, who ALSO is from Tokyo. Yes you idiot it's him" Yoko said. Then Kana got a call from someone. "Oh look it's the one and only Hiromi Karuma" he said.
"Hello is this Kana Oshido?"
"Yep this is"
"Well I called to te-"
"I know. We're cousins"
*5 second silence*
"How did you not know who I was???"
"Dunno just forgot"
"Such a typical you"
"Did you say something?"
"Oh no nothing at all"
"Judging by the look on my sisters face I have hang up now for some strange reason"
"It's 5:15"
"Oh shoot I-wait hOW DID YOU KNOW!"
"You forgot that me and Subaru are childhood friends and yes we kept in touch"
"Well now that I realized that I guess I'll see you tomorrow"
"Yep byeeeeee"
Right before he walked out the door he asked "Yoko how did you know about me meeting Hiromi?" "Duh I was in the library" she said.
*ba dum tisssss*
When he got to his destination he found her sitting on the porch steps of her house. "Did you wait for me all this time?" he asked. "Nah I went inside to change and do other stuff" she replied. When he got inside he saw how big it was. "My siblings just came home" she said. "I have 3 siblings. Saori is 13 and Suzuki is 10 . Then there's Akira who's my 7-year-old brother." She brought him to the study which had mint green walls and a desk with two chairs. It was a quaint type of room. After an hour-and-a-half they were finished. "Do you want to meet my siblings? They're in the basement" Subaru said. He nodded and he was whisked away to the finished basement. "Suzu-chan! Sao-chan! Aki-chan! I have someone for you to meet!"she said. And then he saw all her siblings. Saori had green hair and the same blue eyes as Subaru. Suzuki had hazelnut skin, grey eyes and black hair. Akira had green hair and brown eyes. Saori said hi but Akira and Suzuki hid behind Saori. "I'm Saori and this is Suzuki" she said "Then this little boy is Akira?" Kana asked "Hi there Akira-kun!" The little boy came out from behind Suzuki and Saori and said hello. Saori was the most sociable out of all of them, and Akira was the quietest. Suzuki was just simple. Soon after meeting Subaru's siblings, it was time for him to leave sadly. "Will you come back soon Oshido-san?" Akira asked. "Yep I'll be back soon" Kana replied.
