The Valentine Festival

Chap 1: Confession... failed!

Tanpopo walked in and join her gardening committee members. Could see that happiness is around her. Kugyou, Saionji and Kyogoku were surprised to see her like this.

"What makes you so happy, Tanpopo-chan?" asked Kugyou.

"Oh! Mr.President said that the school would be holding a festival for this incoming Valentine Day. Annndd...the gardening committee will be in charge of it," said Tanpopo happily.

"What!" Saionji exclaimed, pushing up her glasses. "WE...we are in charge of this valentine festival?!" Tanpopo nodded, full with tears of joy.

Kugyou slapped his hand on his forehead. God! My plan had crushed! Must think for another way. Must think for another way. He had been planning to make up with Tanpopo but it seems that this stupid festival the school rarely held had swept away his precious plan.

"Nyo? Kugyou-kun, what's the matter? Kugyou-kun!" Tanpopo was worried; looking at his suddenly turned sad face. Kugyou didn't seem to notice her at all. But then he suddenly, "HAHAHA...!" making his friends stay a feet away from him and the whole class staring at him.

"Nyo! What's wrong with him?" whispered Tanpopo to the other two.

"Looks like he is suffering from some emotional roller coaster," answered Saionji.

"No, he must having some dark thoughts," said Kyogoku, smiling evilly at Tanpopo. His answer seemed to indicate something related to Tanpopo.

Cough! Cough! (Kugyou)

"WWAAAAAHHHHH..." the three shocked as Kugyou suddenly stood beside them.

"Wow! The devil ahhh..." joked Kyogoku. WHACK Kugyou had hit him with the trowel and stomped out of the class, followed by Saionji. While Tanpopo stayed back and looked after Kyogoku, who is still lying on the floor with birdies flying around his head.

"Huh? The school is having a valentine festival?!" exclaimed Arisa, who refused to go to the school that day because run out of her makeup. This is a good opportunity to make up with Ogata-kun. She smiled, "I'll come and help out tomorrow." Tanpopo was glad that everyone was very eager to help.

"Hmmm... Poplar, what do you think a dance for the festival?"

"Kon!"

"You think it's great?! Then after that there'll be some games."

"Kon! Kon!"

"Aahhh...I'm not sure these are all good enough for the festival," Tanpopo had been thinking what she is supposed to do. What can she do to make everyone happy and accept the planned festival? Will they reject it? Kugyou. Thinking of Kugyou, her heart beat faster than ever. Why is she thinking of him? What am I thinking? The problem now is the festival. Shaking her head to erase the thought of Kugyou.

Rain started to drizzle outside, "Nyo?! It started to rain. I better go and check on my garden." She quickly put on her raincoat and bid Poplar goodbye before she leave.

"Ohhh... these need a shed or they'll die," thought Tanpopo, quickly looked around for something that is waterproof. Not far away there lay a piece of plastic shed. Oh! Good! This will help. She gently spread the plastic shed over the flowers.

"Tanpopo? What are you doing in the middle of the rain?"

Tanpopo turned and was not surprised to see Kugyou. She smiled, "The same reason you came here." Together they both worked out and saved the school's garden. Tanpopo was working close to Kugyou, placing dirt back around the plant.

Kugyou could feel the heat coming from Tanpopo as she was working few inches away from him. He couldn't help thinking of her, how much he wanted to hold her close to him, to feel her by his side, to make her to be his special one. Good! This is the chance to confess my feeling. I can do it. I must do it. Here goes... "Yamazaki-chan, I...I...lo..."

"Nyo? Kugyou-kun, why are you blushing? Your face is very red. Are you having a fever?" Touching him forehead to forehead, "You don't have a fever. Are you sick or something?"

Kugyou didn't seem to be able to put up his courage to tell her that. (Poor Kugyou. Awe...) She just touched me with her forehead! Did she know that her lips are just few inches away? Did she know that it's very tempting to me? The feeling of her was overwhelming. It totally dragged him into his very own world of love. Hey! What am I doing? I'm a man! Alright one more time. He put his hands around Tanpopo's shoulder, "Yamazaki-chan, I..."

"Kugyou! What are you trying to do?" Saionji suddenly popped out from nowhere. The two quickly parted few feet away, horrified.

"MWAHAHAHA... how can you miss me out too," Kyogoku jumped out from a bush. Narrowing his eyes and putting an arm around Kugyou, "What are you trying to tell her, eh?"

Kugyou shocked and stuttered, "I... I... was trying to tell her to hurry up. It's freezing out here. Yeah, I was trying to tell her that."

All of them worked together and helped out each other (except for Kyogoku, the only freak who is now dancing in the rain). In a few moments, everything can be put at rest. Everyone went home after that, feeling exhausted.

Inside the car, Kugyou sighed every now and then. Why it turned out to be that hard? Oh, why can't people just leave us alone so that I can tell her without embarrassing myself? He put his hand on his forehead, thinking hard for another way. It came to him again. The touch of her forehead on his. The thought of that feeling making him blushed, full of happiness.

His driver, Sakata terrified after looking at the rear mirror. His master was smiling to himself and it seemed that evil thoughts were forming in his head.

To be continue...

Well, that's all, folks. End of chapter 1. How's it? Chapter 2 will be up in no time, I hope. For my exams are edging closer than before.
