(Astro is 14 here, and Lily is also 14.)

There was a new girl at school.

Lily.

She had blue hair and blue eyes, and wore jeans and a cute top.

Note: She was not a girly girl. She was a rather total tomboy.

The main thing is, she had a crush on Astro.

But she never showed it. EVER.

Um...maybe once or twice, by blushing.

ONLY BLUSHING!

So, one day,

Lily entered her class and flipped open her desk.

What's that?

She took out a rose, with a card attached to it.

Goodmorning.

-Astro.

She blushed and quickly put it in her bag.

Whoa...Astro...does he...like...me?

This thought troubled her until Astro came to her and asked, "You got what I gave you?"

"Um..ya..."

"Well, did you like it?"

"Hm-hmm."

"I'm glad." He said, smiled, and walked away.

Aw...he's so sweet...

Then, their class teacher came in and announced, "We are having autitions for a singing post in the band Love Handle. If anyone wishes to take part, assemble in the hall after recess."

Lily tried for the singing post, and was happy to be with Astro, who tried as the guitarist.

They both were chosen, along with two more boys, as the drummer and the pionoist.

Lily didn't care. She was just happy, and worked day and night for the contest coming up among the city bands the following week.

That night, when she was rehearsing-

(the song used here is paradise by lena katina, plz listen to her for better understandings.)

Something that I like

Is it something that I-

She noticed Astro and blushed slightly.

"H-hi Astro...y-you didn't leave?"

"Can't. Not without you."

She blushed a bit more and said, "R-really? You waited for me?"

He nodded, smiling.

"Um...thanks, though..."

"Mention not."

Actually, he just wanted to see her.

How beautifully, so gracefully she did her steps!

"Wow..." Whispered Astro.

Later that night-

Lily ran towards the bus stop with all the energy left in her.

But she was too late.

The bus already left.

"Dammit." She mumbled, until suddenely she felt something on top of her. Something that prevented her from getting wet in the rain.

"Astro!" She said, kind of shocked, thus getting back.

"Can't let you get wet." He said, putting the umbrella on top of her.

"N-no need...I'll be fine..." She said, blushing slightly again.

"It's ok, I'll drop you home."

"No, really-"

"C'mon, Lil." He said, wrapping his arm around her.

She blushed, but liked it.

So, he dropped her home.

"Thanks, Astro." Lily said.

"Mention not." Astro said, and went home, flying with the help of his rocket shoes.

Oh, Astro...I love you...
