Chapter 1: The Beginning:

"Hey, Yurima! Get up already! We're going to be late for school!" "Huh?!" I quickly sat up, and saw my little brother Riku standing by my bedside. "Come on! Hurry up, and get dressed!" he nagged. "Okay. Okay. I'm going." I said climbing out of bed. "Yurima!" my Dad called from downstairs. "Yeah?!" I said pulling my shirt over my head. "I've made a big warm breakfast for you! Hurry up, and come downstairs!" I quickly finished putting on my school uniform, and grabbed my bag and rushed downstairs. "Wow!" I said in awe as I ran into the kitchen. "Pancakes, waffles, French toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast! Pick whatever you what, sweetie." my Dad said happily, as he ordered me to sit. I had three pancakes, three eyes, four strips of bacon, a piece of toast, and to finish it off! Hot Cocoa! "Okay, Yurima let's go!" Riku said hastily. "Okay!" I said as I quickly putting my dishes in the sink, and rushing to put my shoes and winter coat on. "Bye Dad!" I said kissing him on the cheek. "Wait a second!" "What, Dad?" "You always forget your bag." my Dad said laughing as he gave me my bag. "Bye!" I called as I ran after Riku.

I walked Riku to his school which was not far from mine. "Okay bye." I said kissing him on the cheek, and ruffling his hair. "Hey!" "Oh. Am I too uncool for you to hang with?" I teased, and I gave him a big hug. "I'll see you after school, Yurima!" Riku said as he ran to the play yard with all the other kids.

"You just made it again, Miss Muru! Don't make this a habit!" Ms. Tasinawa said strictly. "Yes. I'm sorry." I said shyly as I quickly made it to my desk. I sit next to the cutest guy! His name is Kai! He has red hair and brown eyes, the cutest smile, and so much more! "You sure are good at getting on Ms. Tasinawa's nerves." Kai said as I sat down. My cheeks turned red. Kai never talked to me! "Are you alright?" he asked looking at me curiously. "Y-yeah. I'm fine." I said turning my head away. "Well? Um. You seem lonely at lunch and such. Do you want to sit with me and my friends at lunch?" "Uh...no. I can't." "Why not?!" "I just can't." "Okay. Then I'll sit with you." "What?!"

"Miss Muru! Is something wrong?" "No. Sorry." "Why would. . . .You. . . .Want to sit. . . .With me?!" I said stubbornly. "..." "Well?" "Forget I asked." he said looking down at his papers. That's when I had an idea. I slid Kai a note. He hesitated but read it. It read: "I'm sorry. Please sit with me. _" He stared at me for a long time, as though he was searching me for something. Then he turned, and scribbled something, and slid the note to me. It read: "Okay. I also wanted to tell you something." "What is it?!" "Something. And I'm not telling you till lunch." Aw. But lunch his four periods away! I have to wait that long! I wonder what it is. "*class bell*" "I'll see you in third period!" Kai said and he walked off.

I couldn't believe it! The day went by so quickly! It was fifth already! Our teacher gave us a long talk about something. I don't know what it was, because I wasn't paying any attention. Finally, our teacher dismissed us for lunch. "Hey, Yurima!" Kai called. I quickly ran. I don't know why, but I did. I ran to my favorite spot. It was under the school's old cherry blossom tree. It was covered in snow, but I still loved to sit there. "Yurima! Wait up!" Kai said as he ran over to me. "Oh! You actually came." I said as I took out my lunch. "I said I would. Now why the heck did you run?" "I was trying to keep you on your toes!" I laughed. We ate and talked for what seemed like forever. "Anyways. What did you want to tell me?" I said anxiously. "Well, um. I sort of." "Come on! What is it?! I want to know!" "Well...I sort of wanted to tell you that I..." "You?" "I like you." he said quickly. Before I could say anything he quickly leaned forward and kissed me. Kai wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer. I pushed him off of me, and ran away to my house.

"Yurima? What are you doing home this early?" Dad said looking up at me from the kitchen table. I ran up to my room, and lay on my bed and cried. "What's wrong, sweetie?" Dad said sitting on the corner of my bed. "I don't want to talk about it." I said. The doorbell rang downstairs. "Ah! That must be the mail man!" Dad said walking downstairs. I heard Dad opened the door. "Hey, Yurima! There's someone here to see you!" "Who is it?" "It's a boy from your school he says his name is-" "Kai?!" "Yes. How did you-" I knew it! Tell him I'm not here!" "Okay." Time passed. "Yurima. I think you really should come downstairs. The boy is practically drowning in his own tears!" "I said I don't want to see him, and that's that!" "Get down here and at least take your bag from him." So, I went downstairs and took my bag. "Yurima, wait." "What do you want?" I said my back turned. Dad wasn't kidding. He really was crying. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that to you. I'll let you do anything to me! Just please forgive me!" he begged. "I don't forgive beggars!" I said, and I hit him hard in the face with my bag.

"Hey, Yurima." Riku said at dinnertime. "What?" I said grouchily. "Why are you so cranky?" "I'm not cranky! You-" "Yurima! That is enough!" Dad said raising his voice. "Sorry, Dad." "Did something happen between you and this Kai at school?" Dad said suspiciously. "It's nothing." I said as I played with my food. "There has to be something wrong. I mean you don't normally act this way." "Excuse me." I said getting up from the table. "Yurima! You know I'll find out sooner or later!" Dad said his tone raising. "Dad I don't think she's going to listen." I heard Riku say. I was so angry and sad that I went straight to bed.

I quickly got up early and got ready for school. "Hm? Yurima what are you doing up early?" Riku asked sleepily. "I want to get to school early today." I said packing my bag, and heading downstairs to the kitchen. I ate a small bowl of cereal, and left quickly for school. As I walked past people in school they all looked at me in shock, and whispered to someone near them. "What do you think you're looking at?!" I snapped. "Well, for once you actually got here early." Ms. Tasinawa said. "Hmp! Whatever." I said under my breath. "What was that?" "Nothing!" I said sweetly. The bell rang, and I sat in my seat. Surprisingly Kai wasn't there. I hope Kai stays home forever! Suddenly the class door quickly opened. "Well. Well. If it isn't Kai. Don't tell me you'll be the new "Tardy Bug"?" "No. I just got lost looking for someone." "And who would that be?" "A girl." "Typical of a boy your age. But don't slack off just because of some girl. Now sit down." "Yes, Ms. Tasinawa." Kai said sitting next to me. "Idiot." I thought. Kai kept staring at me in surprise. "Yurima. What happened to you? You're so different." "Do I know you?" I snapped rudely. "Seriously Yurima. Of course you know me. Did something happen to your memory?" "No. And what I meant to say leave me the hell alone!" "Is there a problem back there, Miss Muru?" "No."

"Hey!" Kai yelled after me in the hallway after class. I kept walking. "Yurima! I want to talk to you!" I stopped and faced him. "Well, I obviously don't want to talk to you!" I blurted out. I saw in his eyes how hurt he was, so I turned and ran to my next class. I couldn't focus well in my next class, and I kept getting yelled at by the teacher for it. "Yurima! My work is more important than your La La Land!" my teacher said in frustration. "I'm sorry. Can I please go to the bathroom?" "Yes. Make sure you wash your face. Doing that will make sure you stay awake." I quickly rushed to the bathroom. I had a plan of how to get Kai to not like me anymore. It would all happen at lunch.

I know you're probably anxious to know the plan so I'll just skip to lunch!

"Okay. So you guys know what to do?" I said to the five boys that were surrounding me. "Yeah." they all said. "Okay. Here comes Kai." I whispered. "Hey, Yurima?" Kai said walking over to me. I ignored him. "Hey, Yurima. You're kind of cute now why don't we go steady?" one of the boys asked me. "Hey! Hands off she's mine!" another boy said. "Okay. Okay. Please don't fight over me." "Hey, Yurima how about a kiss?" another boy (the cutest out of all five) said as he leaned forward. I leaned forward too and kissed him. I put my arms around his neck, and he pulled me close to him. Suddenly Kai's bag fell to the snow covered ground. I pulled away from the guy I was kissing. Kai was gone. "Good work everyone. Here's seven dollars. Split it however you like." They took the money and left. The next few days Kai didn't come to school. Finally he came back to school, but he refused to speak to anyone including the teacher. I rushed in the hallways to get to my classes so I didn't see Kai in the hallways.

Finally when I got home I was exhausted. "Hey sweetie your home! What took you so long?" Dad said handing me a cup of juice. "I had a tiring day so I walked kind of slow today." I said gulping down the juice. "Well, I bet my special family traditional soup will brighten you up." "I'll pass. I'm not hungry." "You haven't been eating lately. Are you alright? You're not having thoughts that you're fat?" "No, Dad. I'm going to go do my homework now." I said walking upstairs to my bedroom. "I wonder if what I did was wrong." I thought lying on my bed. "Mom. What do you think?" I said looking at her picture on my dresser. "Hey, Yurima! You took forever to get home." Riku said walking in the room and sitting on his bed. "It's just because I had a tiring day that I took so long get home!" I said rudely. "Well, it seems you're in a grumpier mood than ever." "Shut up!" "I liked the old you better." Riku said turning away from me. "You mean the me that is the craziest person on Earth?!" I said sneaking up behind him and tickling him. "Ahahahahah! Stop it Yurima! Ahahaha!" he said laughing like crazy, and trying to push my hands away. We ended up hugging each other in the end. Downstairs the doorbell rang. "I'll get it, Daddy!" I yelled happily as I ran to open the door. When I opened the door all of the happiness I had felt quickly went away.

"Oh...it's you...Kai." I said looking down at the floor. "Hi. I came here to-" "Forget it. Whatever it is just forget it. I don't want to talk." I said starting to close the door. "Wait a minute!" Kai said pushing the door open. "!..." "I wanted to give this to you. You dropped it in the hallway at school when you were rushing to get to your next class. I'm guessing it's a picture of you and your mother, and so I thought it was important to give it back to you." he said handing me the picture. "Thank you, Kai." "I should get going now." "Wait. Kai I don't know how to thank you enough for what you did. This picture is very important to me. Thank you." I said, and I kissed him on the cheek. As I slowly moved away I felt his hand on the back of my neck, and he moved his face closer to mine and locked lips with me. As we kissed it started to snow and soon the snow started to get heavier and the wind picked up. I quickly pulled away. "I'm freezing! Come inside!" I said rubbing my arms, and quickly running inside. "Are you sure it's okay?" "It's fine." "Okay." "Daddy!" "Yeah, sweetie?!" "Kai's here right now." "Uh-oh." "What do you mean uh-oh, Daddy?" "A blizzard's starting, and it's going to be big. Kai will have to stay with us. The storms supposed to last three days." Dad said walking into the kitchen. "What?!" I was in total shock. "Why don't you call your parents Kai to tell them where you are?" "Okay."

So, Kai called his parents and they said it was okay for Kai to stay till the blizzards over. So Kai is staying at my house for three days. Wait till you see just the things that happened in those three days! Chapter 2: (Good and Bad Days).
