*****

Yayoi Nakayama slouched on a wooden desk beside her best friend, Emily Adachi. She sighed as the gravity of the latest gossip in school gripped her heart and pulled it down into cold, icy waters. Emily was down too, her head covered with her arms. They both sighed in perfect unison and looked at each other, afraid to talk about what was going on both their minds.

I shouldn't have been such a busybody...asking about things that I dread knowing about...,thought Yayoi to herself as she rubbed her eyes with her palms and tilted her head back. She sneaked a look at the subject of the latest gossip, which was also another one of her best friends, Ringo Noyamano. The pretty girl was concentrating on her homework as usual--what a assiduous girl. The teacher isn't even here--and chatting with a female classmate.

Yayoi eyed the girl cautiously. After the girl was done chatting, she hastily returned to her seat where 3 other girls were sitting and discussing something feverishly. Yayoi's glanced at their tables. There were no books or studying materials there--so that must mean that the gossip has already reached the majority of the people.

Ikki(complete bonehead, thought Yayoi) swaggered to Emily and Yayoi's table in his daily fashion, but there was something decidedly wrong about it. It was as though daily over-brimming self-confidence was replaced with hesitation. Something is on his mind...thought Yayoi to herself. But that shouldn't be the case...Ikki rarely bothers with gossip. But if he really knows about it...I wonder what he would do to get her back..? Yayoi nudged Emily's ribs with her elbow quickly, and Emily's head raised to display a void expression, although her feelings were raging inside.

Ikki placed his palms on their table and whispered, "H-hey...I...came to ask you something..." he licked his lips nervously and leaned closer.

Both girls motioned closer towards him as well, spirits rising for the fact that this inconsiderable bastard was going to do something about Ringo after all--

"Is there something going on around class..? Everyone looks so gloomy..." Ikki scratched his head and laughed uneasily.

"..." Emily and Yayoi both flared. Is he just putting on an act, or is he just plain stupid?!

"ARE YOU FRICKING RETARDED, HUH, BIRDBRAIN?! Haven't you heard?! Ringo-chan is dating that freak with the guitar case—what's his name...Kanon!! And you?! You don't know about it, or are you just seeing another girl as well?!...what's her name...Kururu-san!" Emily screamed at the top of her voice, veins popping out all over her face. Ikki blinked, taken aback.

"Shh, keep quiet, you idiot!! Ringo-chan's just over there!!" Yayoi whispered, flustered. Emily covered her mouth in shock and embarrassment.

Ringo was standing stock-still, her eyes widened in shock, her mouth slightly agape with horror and her table ruined with her twitching fingers. All that's left of her desk was the iron frame, which was out of reach. Both Yayoi and Emily grabbed each other and grimaced in horror.

"S-s-sorry, R-Ringo-c-c-chan..!"

A crimson rash spread across Ringo's face and neck. She grabbed her bag and said, "kyaa~" in embarrassment while covering her face and jumped out of the classroom's window. Onigiri stared shamelessly at her fluttering skirt, mouth drooling and face distorted with sick thoughts which earned him a high kick from a furious Emily. Kazu rushed to his friend's aid, trying to stem the steady flow of blood, while everyone else in the classroom rushed to see Ringo gliding down the wall and out of the school gate, with another figure dressed in a dark blue layered tee and carrying a black guitar case chasing effortlessly after her.

Ikki stood there, mouth opening and closing like a dying goldfish. He turned and muttered out the one syllable on his mind--"huh?!"
