Chapter 1

It's very hard to breath easily in the lecture hall especially when practically everyone in the hall is either staring at you.. or talking behind your back. Maybe it's because I don't mix around, thought Fuuko. Well, I'm not going to quit simply because nobody talks to me here. But I can't continue skipping classes just to avoid being talked bad, behind my back. Don't worry.. someone will eventually come up and talk to me…

"Fuuko!!"

Surprise that someone just called her, fuuko spun around and look into the familiar blue eyes she had always ones know.

"Tokiya? Tokiya Mikagami??"

Not only she was shocked, he seem to be in shock himself as he was standing there as if people started swimming instead of walking.

"Fuuko? Kirisawa Fuuko? I'll be damned! I didn't know you would be coming to Melbourne to study…"

She looked blankly at him for a moment then suddenly realize that he was waiting for her to finish his sentence. "Err.. Law"

He was staring at her as if he didn't know her. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth started twitching and he instantly he started smiling widely and immediately burst out… laughing!!

Insulted, she demanded to know what was so funny.

"Haha… Law? Are you kidding me?? The Fuuko I once knew wouldn't need Law to kick people's butt??"

Hurt, she replied, "And the Fuuko you once knew took Law, because she wants to take control of her life, instead of fighting"

After saying all she would say, she turned around and left the hall, and he didn't see her tears, threatening to spill out from her eyes.

*****

"Did you see what she was wearing?"

"Yes I know, it's totally hideous!"

"I think someone should teach her how dress! She obviously needs it"

"I think she's too late for that, you know how the saying goes, you can't teach old dog tricks?"

'Okay, breathe in, breathe out. Allright. Go for it.' Fuuko took a deep breath, and walks into the lecture hall. 'Oh, oh, do I have chili sauce all over my face? Is my zip pants open? If not, then why is everyone is staring at me? Never mind, fuuko. Relax, and everything will be just fine later'

She took her seat in the front and waited for the lecturer to come in.

"Is this seat taken?"

Surprise, She look up and stare into the blue eyes she has grown fond of.

"Tokiya, nice to see you again. I didn't know you take Psychology."

"Well, surprise surprise," spreading his hands to show how surprise he is. "Remember the part when you say you are taking Law?" After seeing her nod he continued, "well, looks like we will be seeing more of each other because we happen to be taking the same course. That's right. Law"

"Haha.. you must be joking.. please tell me you are joking," she pleaded him.

"Of course I'm not. Why?"

She couldn't tell him the real reason she took this course is because she wanted to show the Hokage team that she is better than they think especially.. Mikagami.. I can't believe it! It's like a nightmare coming true!! God!! This can't be happening!!

"Er.. Nothing. Just checking to see whether you are joking"

"Anyway," he said, "Can you show me around?

***

"Do you always daydream in class?," he ask her while pushing a stack of papers into her table. "Like that, you wouldn't be able to be able to understand in class, and then how are you going to pass your exam? I don't think you are allowed to cheat in class right? You should…"

She pretended she couldn't hear what he was saying. First day of college and already a nagging mother!! When they were in high school together, he was always nagging her into doing her homework, brushing her hair… he's always treating me like a little sister, but too bad, he doesn't treat me more than that which is what I always dream would have happen….

"Kirisawa Fuuko, after you have finish staring at the blank page of your notepad, can you please concentrate on your studies instead of dreaming??"

Fuuko flushed red and quickly paid attention, and notices at the same time that a few students in the class were laughing at her. That bitchy Brittany was actually pointing at her and laughing loudly. What a bitch.. She quickly pretended that she didn't hear them.

"Hey, what are you doing tonight?"

She quickly turned around and stares at Mikagami.

"What did you just asked me?"

He sighs loudly and told her again, "Do you want to go out tonight? Grab a bite to eat?"

"Are you asking me out for a date?," she asked hopefully.

"Er..kinda..," he replied in his sexy drawl.

"Where?"

"Burger King?"

"Sure"

"9?"

"Okay"

"….So, have you done your constitution yet?"

She groan.

****

She quickly walks into Burger King and sat at the booth at the far corner. She couldn't wait for Mikagami to get there. I can't believe I really dress up to meet my childhood friend!! Unbelievable!! Maybe he feels the same way I feel about him. If not, then why ask me out? There has to be reason why?

Feeling excited, she looked out the window and view the parking lot. Her heart started beating wildly when she saw Mikagami's car. Not bad, maybe after dinner, he would take me out for a spin and then we will….oh-my-god….

Brittany was stepping out from Mikagami's car and quickly walk over to his side. She threw her arms around his neck and started kissing him. Mikagami looks as if he is enjoying it.
