The Big Dance…
"I can't believe tomorrow's the big Dance." Fuka told Sana in disbelief.
"Yea, the last dance, and then we're off to college."Sana responded solemnly.
"Where are you going to college anyway?"Fuka asked curiously.
"This college of the arts….I guesses I'm going to pursue acting as a career since I'm so good in it."Sana replied. The two girls now headed to the lunchroom pondering on the thought that tomorrow was going to be the final dance, and the last day of school.
"Hey, there's Sana!"Tsyoshi informed Akito with a grin. "Akito, tomorrows the big dance, and the last time to tell Sana how you feel. The LAST TIME…"he emphasized. "If you don't tell her you have feelings for her, it might be the last time you see her.. You know Sana, she's really busy with acting and stuff—and.."
"I know.."Akito interrupted sternly as his eyes remained focused on Sana. Sana has really changed since freshman year. I remember when she didn't even wear a bra. Now, I just can't help but worry, if I never see her again, I don't know what will happen to me.
"Hey guys!"Sana greeted forcing a smile.
"Hey did you guys get asked to the dance yet?"Tsyoshi immediately questioned them.
"NO, not yet! UGH!! When will I get asked?!!! I mean, tomorrow's the dance!! How much longer can a guy wait?"Fuka answered furiously.
"Sana, you were asked right?" Akito asked uneasy. (Knowing Akito, he usually says the opposite of what he really means, so what he really was asking was, "Where you asked yet." Sana however, picked up on this quickly because she knows Akito so well
"No, not yet.."Sana answered with a smile. "You?"
"No, no one has asked me.. And I haven't asked anyone either." Akito replied tense. At this moment in time, Fuka and Tsyoshi eavesdropped carefully. "Come on Akito!! Ask her now!"Tsyoshi screamed in his mind. "GRRRR!! Let's go Sana! Force a confession out of him!!"Fuka shouted aggravated in her head.
"Do you know who you want to ask to the dance yet?"Sana continued feeling a little anxious, hoping that this would give Akito a little push to ask her.
"Um… No, not yet.." he replied edgy. Tsyoshi however, had no intentions of Akito messing up asking Sana to the dance.
"I know! Why don't you ask Sana? As a friend you know, to be an escort. Friends do that."Tsyoshi butted in.
"OH yea!! Great idea Tsyoshi! I never knew you had some brains in there!"Fuka teased while she patted Tsyoshi on the head.
"Yea! Sure! What do you say Akito?"Sana questioned him blissfully. "Why couldn't I just ask her? It's only four words "COME-WITH-TO-THE –DANCE-WITH-ME." Never mind, seven words, but still Why is it I just can't—"
"So, what do you think Akito?"Sana repeated interrupting his thoughts.
"Oh, umm.. Yea, sure…"Akito responded trying not to sound too happy. Sana stared at him intently, "Akito, I just don't understand you… If you like me why can't you just say it? Please Akito I don't want this to be the end of our times together."
----------------------------------Naozumi'sDecision -------------------------------------------
"I think I'm going to attend Sana's dance."Naozumi informed Maeda as a woman in black hair combed his hair, and another patted his face with powder.
"Wha-what??"Maeda shouted in shock.
"I know, it's going to be a field day for the reporters, but I'm absolutely positive Akito will be there, confessing his love for Sana—and it's about time for her to choose between us. I mean, I can't stand it!" Naozumi hollered angrily.
"But Naozumi, unlike you, Akito won't be able to see Sana as often as you can. Besides, you're attending the College of the Arts am I right? You have plenty of time to confess to Sana, but tomorrow is Akito's last day to confess."Maeda told him in fret.
"I know, but—if she does choose him over me.. Never mind, I made my mind up—I'm going to that dance." Naozumi finally concluded.
-------------------------------After School--------------------------------------------------------
"Akito I can't believe you!!"Tsyoshi roared.
"Would you just end it already? I'm still going with her to the dance aren't I?" Akito repeated guiltily.
"If it weren't for me, Sana would still be dateless—and you would still be sulking."Tsyoshi told him displeased.
"I'm not sulking…"Akito responded sternly.
"I could care less whatever you call it, but I can definitely tell you that you'd be upset."
As usual Rei had picked Sana up from school in a car wearing his sunglasses.
"Rei, I'm worried…If Akito doesn't admit that he likes me, what will happen between us? Will I be waiting until I'm 100 years old for him to confess!!!" Sana questioned him irritated.
"Sana, it's very difficult for a guy to admit how he truly feels for someone. I mean, there's the option of being rejected or, destroying their friendship etc. So give him time." Rei reassured her.
"But, don't you think after all the years that I've known him he would of came out with it already!"Sana told him enraged. "Well, he did tell youProbably not in words, but by his actions… Anybody could of guessed that he likes you…"Rei reflected in his mind.
"Hellooooo??? Anyone in there??"Sana asked while knocking on Rei's head.
"Just give him time…"Rei repeated.
-------------------------------Nighttime-----------------------------------------------------------
"Sana, you don't even know how much I love you. Everytime you're next to me, I just can't help but have the urge to hold you near me and not let go. Why is it I can't just tell you how I feel?"Akito pondered as he gazed out his bedroom window at the starry night sky. "I wish tomorrow I'd finally tell you."Akito whispered to himself while his eyes focused on one, bright twinkling star in the sky. "Good-night Sana." Were his final words before he drifted into a deep slumber.
