"Hello, everyone, this is your class president, Takani Megumi. I just wanted you all to know about…"

"Yak yak yak, that's all she does. I mean, sure she's a cool friend but MAN does she talk." A teenaged girl yawned silently.

"Shh, be quiet Kaoru, I'm trying to listen to her." Misao hissed leaning forward to hear the announcements. Her friend Kaoru rolled her eyes and leaned back into her chair while searching in her bag for a piece of gum.

It was their last period of the day: English with Ms Paula. Everyone called her Ms Psycho, but the old bat didn't know that. The woman was giving them the 'privilege' to watch the afternoon announcements. All other days they were too noisy because someone accidentally sneezed and the polite class said 'bless you'.

"I DON'T WANT TALKING! If you think this is elementary school, Ms Paula suggests you go back there because she will not tolerate this is high school. This is an advanced class and if you do not like it, get out."

Ah, afternoons with Miss P.

A boy who sat next to the two girls grinned. He has brown spiky hair that stuck up every which way and chocolate eyes that most girls would drown in. Kaoru and Misao would rather roll their eyes instead of drowning in his. He pulled his bag to his chest and leaned forward. "Well, if you ask me—"

"See, the funny thing is: no one asked you."

"Shut up, Kaoru!" Sanosuke barked.

"I'm just saying…"

"Excuse me!" The trio froze in their hushed whispers. Ms Paula turned towards the corner of the classroom and glared at them with those obviously fake green contacts. Her face was always so stern you'd think she was wearing a mask everyday since it never cracked. "If you do not conduct yourself, Ms Paula is going to have to turn off this television. You see…"

No, I don't really see since your body is in the way. Sano mused to himself.

"…this is why we have no fun. If you all cannot stop talking," she moved her fingers side to side for emphasis, "there won't BE any afternoon announcements. Cut the horse play or Ms Paula will not be a pleasant person to any further extent."

And you were ever nice, when? Kaoru thought putting her head down on her desk.

The room was quiet again and Megumi finished the announcements. "Who ever had parked a blue Lexus in the back of the cafeteria; it has been run over by a garbage truck and towed away to the local dump. If this was your car please report to the front office to receive the ticket."

"That wasn't even my own car! That was my mom's car!" A boy in the back of the camera ran off crying and Megumi looked around baffled.

"Um okay I believe we have found the owner… and our last announcement is about the dance this Friday. I hope to see you all there! Have a great weekend and be safe. I'm Takani Megumi signing off."

RIIIING!

The students all jerked out of their seats and instantaneously ran for the door. It was their entryway to freedom.

"Good bye, have a nice weekend! Please do not run over Ms Paula on your way out." None of the students really paid any attention as their thoughts floated to their weekend events and the up coming dance.

"We're free, we're free!" Misao chirped bursting through the double doors of the school.

Kaoru laughed. "You act like you're in prison, Misao." Kaoru flipped out her cell phone and began text messaging Megumi to meet them at a pizzeria. "Let's get out of here, hua?"

"Sure." Misao and Kaoru walked down the side walk where a small strip mall was located. The girls window-shopped and looked in at the puppy stores until they reached their destination.

They chose a booth in the back while slinging their heavy bags to the corner of the booth. "Is Megumi coming?" Misao asked.

"Yeah, yeah. You know her; she's always so perfect in school she has to make sure she has everything in order. She'll be here in about five minutes I hope."

Sure enough, five minutes later the class president bustled in with a disheveled look to her. "Sorry I'm late."

"It's okay, we ordered a small pizza for us to share. No mushrooms we know, we know." Misao laughed before Megumi could ask if they remembered not to order her most hated vegetable.

Megumi settled herself next to the cheerful girl and dropped her bag. Megumi was the coordinator for the junior class dance. She was always so busy yet Kaoru made her promise to eat a quick bite with them on Friday. Misao and Kaoru figured their ideal friend needed a break.

After discussing their classes and teachers, Kaoru's sapphire eyes shone. She was ready to get down to the good stuff. "So, Megumi… did you get a caller yet?"

The other girl pinned her hair up with an elastic and clicked her tongue. "No, I didn't."

"Really? I mean, he didn't ask you?" Misao asked with a face full of pepperoni pizza. Megumi smirked but shrugged her shoulders.

"No. And don't either of you dare tell him that I like him or I'll rip your heads off."

"You've liked him since the seventh grade, Megumi." Kaoru laughed.

"Besides, he has so many girls at his hand why would he choose me?" Both of her friends were about to begin their long lecture about how she herself could have any man but always declined. Her heart was preserved for a particular brunette but Megumi continued. "Sanosuke is my friend and I mean, I'm so busy with all the planning. Its okay, I'll hang out with you guys. He probably already has a date anyway."

Misao finished up her slice and sighed. "Yeah, I mean he's the most suave guy I've ever met. I see girls around school give him these stupid goo goo eyes and everything." She suddenly slammed her fist down hard on the table. "BUT AOSHI IS SO MUCH HOTTER THAN HE EVER WILL!"

"Aoshi is the coldest person I know. I don't know why you like Megumi's cousin." Kaoru said. She fished around her bag for another piece of gum.

The smaller girl had hearts in her eyes as she went into la la land. "Oh, but he warms me up really well."

"Stop. That's my cousin and I don't need any nasty thoughts about you and him getting it on." Megumi tensed up slightly at the thought.

"How can you NOT love him! If he had a fan club you KNOW I'd be the president! Who can't adore those silky ink black locks of hair, those stunning crystal blue eyes, his tall height, his seductive baritone voice, his wonderful intelligence, his tight bu…?"

"YES!" Kaoru interrupted. "We know! Gesh, every time you say stuff like that it makes me wander if you're his personal stalker." Suddenly Megumi pulled out four pictures out of Misao's bag.

"Heh, by the looks of these pictures it seems she IS a stalker."

"What! No their not! It's for photography class!"

"You certainly have a favorite subject hua? Ohoho!"

Misao jumped up and snatched her beloved pictures. "Shut up Megumi! You're just jealous!" She hugged them to her chest and glared.

"Jealous of a little shrimp like you? I think not. I wouldn't STALK Sanosuke."

Kaoru watched her two friends argue about who was the real stalker and just continued to blow bubbles with her gum. "You two are sad."

Misao turned to Kaoru. "Come on Kaoru! Don't you think Aoshi is really hot?"

"I told you stop that! He's my freakin' cousin!" Megumi yelled again.

"Okay guys, calm down, people are staring you know…" The two girls looked around and sure enough they had a small audience watching them scream about stalkers and pictures. They all moved away slowly. They blushed muttering a small apology and continued to talk quietly.

Kaoru then added her own bit about Aoshi to bring up old memories. "It IS her fantasy ever since she laid eyes on him, right?" Both Megumi and Kaoru laughed as Misao growled and glared at her friends. "Remember that time when we caught Misao trying to give Aoshi a kiss from behind?"

"Yeah, and then he got up to get something and she toppled over!"

"And then the other time when she pulled on his coat so she could kiss him like in the movies!"

"And then she ran his face right smack into her own and CRIED!"

"Then told him that she just tripped and accidentally grabbed his coat!"

Both girls laughed at the memories as Misao grounded her teeth on her pizza imagining it was a certain two girl's brains. Kaoru stopped and took a deep breath.

"But really, Megumi—getting back to the subject—why don't you ask him instead?"

"I told you. Sano is one of the hottest guys in school, there's no way he'd go to the dance with his best friend."

"Really? Then why hasn't he ever had a girl friend yet?"

"I don't know. Ask him that."

The three fell into silence as they finished their pizza. Megumi shook her head as she mused over the idea of her secret crush on her best friend.

I mean, Sanosuke can get any girl he wants. He probably won't have a problem finding a girl for the dance.

Misao sipped her cherry coke. "Remember when Megumi tried to get Sanosuke's attention in freshman year?"

Kaoru laughed out loud. "How can I not? She was trying to impress Sanosuke by wearing that really pretty dress and heals. Then in chemistry she was making that bubble thingy."

"Then it caught her dress on fire."

"And she was running around the classroom screaming and accidentally stepped on her dress making it the whole bottom half rip right in front of Sanosuke."

"And then everyone caught a flash of her black thong!"

"And Sanosuke said he'd gone blind!"

Megumi coughed slightly. "Okay enough with memory lane guys…"

Meanwhile, at Sanosuke's house, he sat on the couch eating popcorn while singing to the song from the Fanta commercial.

"Fanta, Fanta! Don't you want a Fanta, Fanta? Don't you want a…?" He paused to eat a few kernels. Oh, Sanosuke had no idea what he was in for. One would wonder why he never had a girlfriend, right? He was suave, handsome and every girl's dream so what's the problem?

Well, Sanosuke is quite a dense guy. When it came to women of course.

He continued to sing along. "Fanta, Fanta! Don't you want a…? Mhum!"

"STOP SINGING that STUPID song, Sanosuke!" His brother yelled from upstairs.

"Yeah well, you always sing that stupid Christmas chipmunk song, Katsu!"

"…"

"I rest my case."
