Chapter 1

There she is, Haruka Takayama. Haruka is sitting in her class room while I stand outside the door like a complete creeper… I know it's wrong of me and I know it's creepy, yet… I cannot not see her. Double negative I know but not seeing her is just not possible.

Haruka-san is a friend of my younger sister Yuu. Haruka-san is practically all Yuu ever talks about and that made me curious a little while ago so I started to investigate. Hence part of the reason that I'm creeping outside their classroom door at lunch.

"Oh, Mitsuki-kaicho! What are you doing here?" I nearly jump out of my skin when I hear the voice filtering to my ears from right behind me.

"Uh nothing!" I say turning around quickly feeling the blood rush to my cheeks in a blush. When I turn around I see Yuzu Iizuka. "Oh hi Lemon-san."

"It's Yuzu!" Yuzu says a little angrily her eyebrow twitching in aggravation. With her shoulder length brown hair with two antennas that react with her emotions and brown eyes Yuzu-san is pretty enough but to me she has nothing on Haruka-san…

"No, no, no, no!" I exclaim loudly as I shake my head vigorously. Yuzu-san's eyebrow shoots up to almost her hair line.

"I'm pretty sure my name is Yuzu…" She starts to say but lets it trail off when my outburst calls over Kaede Ikeno-san, Yuzu-san's almost always ever present partner in crime. Kaede-san has even shorter hair than Yuzu-san, just past chin length. Her hair is black and there is always a clip on the right side and her eyes are a light brown color.

The two of them had helped me find out more things about how Haruka is around Yuu and how she is normally. This did not help with my 'feelings' for her, if anything thing they made it worse. Although I really appreciate them doing that I don't really want to answer their questions.

"Well I better get going…" I say and try to escape but the two step in front of me effectively blocking my escape route.

"We're do you think you're going Kaicho?" Kaede-san asks me.

"Yeah Mitsuki-kaicho, you never answered my question," Yuzu-san adds.

"Umm," I say shrinking back a little.

"So Kaicho, what are you doing here?" Kaede-san asks taking a step forward.

"And peeking into our class room no less," Yuzu-san adds again, taking a step forward as well.

As the two force me to back up I run into someone. Knowing my luck I know exactly who it is and a guess a part of me is hoping it's who my luck says it is but a more rational part of me begs the world for it not to be who I think it is.

Turning around with an apology on my lips I come face to face with the person my luck said it was. "Sorry!" With our faces only inches apart I can clearly see Haruka-san's shinning, brown-purple eyes. My face flushes as she breathes out, probably about to say something. "Goodbye!"

I start running even before the two syllable word leaves my mouth. Yuzu-san and Kaede-san are too stunned by my sudden speed to try and stop me. I don't stop my running until I reach my classroom.

I stop outside my classroom door to catch my breath before I even think of going in. "Are you okay?" Rina Sakai-chan says from behind me in an honestly concerned voice. I turn around and face my friend with her orange eyes and hair pulled back with a red ribbon.

"Of course," I say flashing what I hope to be a confident smile. "Why wouldn't I be?"

"Well," Rina-chan starts. "You seem to be out of breath and your face is flushed pretty bad… Are you running a fever?" Without waiting for me to answer she places her hand on my forehead. A guilty little part of me wished it was Haruka-san's hand on my forehead…

"No!" I exclaim jerking away from her hand, my face turning a darker shade of red than it already is as another blush covers the other one. Looking up at her worried eyes I say guiltily, "No, sorry. I just… I guess you're right and I don't feel all that well."

"Then you should go to the nurse's office. Come on," She says grabbing my arm and pulling me along.

"No, no, no," I say. "It's not really necessary!"

"Yes it is," She says ignoring my pleas for release. "You're burning up and your breathing is labored." If only you knew the truth to why…

"Fine," I say letting her drag me along.

"That's better," She says throwing a smile in my direction.

Turning the corner of the hallway we reach the nurse's office. Upon opening the door a kind pink haired nurse advises me to lie down and take it easy. So I do, a little reluctantly. "I'm going to go run some errands you stay here and get some rest okay?" And with that the nurse leaves.

"I'm going to get back to class," Rina-chan says as she gently pats my hand. "When you get to feeling better come on back okay?"

"Okay," I say and then she too leaves and I'm left alone. As I lay there I wonder about how this all came to be. Although Haruka-san has been friends with Yuu for well over two years now it was only recently that I first met her. All the times that she came over I'd been sick or away on trips.

Even when I first met her I couldn't see her properly because my glasses were broke but I could hear her effort to try and get something her friend wanted. I was drawn to her ever since she ran down the hallway, into me and practically begged me to do that for her friend. It wasn't until I asked her name that I figured out that the friend she was doing all this for was my little sister…

Just lying there thinking about Haruka-san and her light brown hair that darkens into purple at the tips, her brown-purple eyes and her pretty smile has my heart racing and makes me blush. What is wrong with me? I ask myself trying to calm my heart.

The door opening breaks me from my thoughts and I turn to see who has entered. It takes a minute for the face to register because at first I'm pretty sure I'm imaging things but nope. After a moment I realize that it really is Haruka-san, almost as if she'd been summoned by my thoughts of her.

"Oh, Mitsuki-kaicho," She says when she spots me. "What are you doing here? Are you okay?" She bombardiers me with questions but I just stare at her for a moment wondering if maybe I really am dreaming.

"Mitsuki-kaicho?" Haruka-san tries again coming to the bed side.

"I'm fine," I say a little hesitantly. "Just felt a little light headed."

"Are you running a fever too?" Haruka-san asks and then she places her cool hand against my hot forehead. "Oh my! You're burning up! Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes," I manage to get out with my pounding heart and numb body. When she moves her hand away I get an odd feeling of loss but I mentally shake it off and scold myself for my stupidity.

"Can I get you anything?" Haruka-san asks me and although she removed her hand she's still very close to me and that seems to have a frying effect on my brain.

"Just some water, please," I ask just to get her a little further away from me so I can breath and think properly.

"Of course!" I watch as Haruka-san moves over to the sink and grabs a paper cup to fill up with cold water. "Here," She says with a smile as she hands me the cup.

"Thanks," I say as I sit up and accept the cup, gratefully drink.

"No problem," She says with another smile that just makes my heart melt.

"What are you doing in the nurse's office anyways?" I ask finally realizing that I have no clue why she's here. "You're not skipping class are you?"

"Nope," She says as she heads over to the cupboard and pulls out a bandage. "Yuu-chan scraped her knee and wanted me to get a band-aid."

"Oh," I say a little stupidly. "Is she okay?"

"Yeah, it's just a small scrape." Another smile as she takes my glass to refile it. "Here you go."

"Thanks," I reply automatically but I'm a little more concerned with the fact that our hands just brushed together. Did she do that on purpose? I wonder but then I scold myself for over thinking things. "You'd better get back to class."

"Yeah…" Is it just me or is there reluctance in her eyes… Stop imagining things! I yell at myself. "If you need anything, anything at all Yuu-chan has my number. Give me a call 'k?" And with that she leaves, closing the door behind her.

"What, just happened?" I ask myself, as my heart continues to pound as if I'd just ran a marathon.

A/N Well I like Sakura-Trick a lot (I've only watched the anime so far BUT the manga is on my list!) so well here's a little story I came up with. Don't get me wrong though I think Yuu-chan and Haruka are cute together! It's just that i think Mitsuki should be in there too ^_^ Well rate and review?

Thanks
