Chapter 2: The Next Day
Early the next morning Nozaki rode down to Sakura's house on his tandem bike. "Sakura!, It's me Nozaki!" "No answer... that is strange..." Nozaki thought. "This reminds me of the time Mamiko was searching for...hmm the door is unlocked." "I am coming in Sakura!" Nozaki opened the door and invited himself in. "It is very dark in here" Nozaki thought. "I think I will turn on a light and..." "Hmm it is actually very nicely decorated" Nozaki muttered. "AUGHHHH" the frightend Nozaki yelled! Because down in the corner of the living room was a limp Chiyo, with makeup driping down her face. "She must have cried herself to sleep!" "Sakura... Sakura?" Nozaki tried to wake the sleeping pale Chiyo-Sakura. Sakura groaned. "SAKURA!" Nozaki yelled. "You will be late for school" He whispered to her. "Well I guess? there is only one thing to do then!" With the next movement Nozaki swooped up the limp Sakura and carried her back to his bike. Looking now for a spot to put her. "Hmm the back seat will need to work... somehow" Then Nozaki laid the Sakura on the seat, and laid her arms on his shoulders. "There!" Nozaki exclaimed in exitment! It took awhile but eventually Nozaki got to the schools gate. "We must have missed the bell" Nozaki was deep in thought thinking of ways to get himself and the sleeping Sakura over. Suddenly Sakura started stirring. "N-n-n...NOZAKI-KUN!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Sakura yelled. Nozaki was lifting the Sakura over when she "awoketh" " I uh..." Suddenly thoughts of their first meeting flashed through Nozaki-Kun's mind. "Sakura... I have been trying to tell you that..." Sakura cut him off. "I am clibing over by myself." She gracefully lifted herself over the fence... and plummeted to the ground on the other side. "Sakura?" No response.
