"No!"
Mei sighed, almost giving up when she saw a figure walking towards them.
"Hey look here's Helen-chan." Mei ran up to the tall brunette and slipped an arm round her shoulder. "Come over here Helen and tell Ruka-chan she has to meet Michiru!"
Helen nodded. "You HAVE to meet her!" she impressed firmly. "I've been hanging around her all day and she is amazing! Plus-" Helen raised her eyebrows. "She really wants to meet you!"
Haruka grabbed Helen's shoulders and shook her. "Really? Really?" she leapt in the air and hugged both Helen and Mei (Making it difficult for them to breathe). "Did she say that?"
Helen nodded, happy that her friend was cheerful again. "There is one slight problem though."
Haruka stopped jumping, dreading what was about to come. "Michiru was talking about how you were the cutest BOY she's ever met."
"Ah" said Mei after a long silence. "That IS a problem!" she looked at her watch. "But we can worry about that later- we have to meet Michiru now!" she yelled pulling Haruka away.
Helen laughed and waved. "Have fun and don't forget to tell me ALL about it tonight at yours!" she yelled after them.
Michiru hugged her books to her chest nervously and stared round. She hoped the boy Haruka wasn't going to turn up. Did she? Or was that just nerves?
Soon she spotted two figures walking towards her and she stood up and waved.
The smaller of the two, a thin girl with bright pink hair ran up to Michiru and hugged her. "Hey Chiru-chan!" she exclaimed excitedly. "You know Ruka, right?"
Michiru nodded. "It's nice to see you again Haruka-kun." She smiled.
Haruka grinned back. "You too!"
Michiru smiled and offered her arm to Haruka who took it.
"Shall we go then?"
"Where to?" asked Haruka, blushing at the touch of Michiru's arm.
"To the stars!" Mei shouted dramatically then burst out laughing.
Haruka glared at her coldly from beside Michiru.
"I've just realised I've got to be somewhere!" said Mei glaring triumphantly back at Haruka. "I'll see you guys later!"
"Wait….Mei…..."
Too late. She was gone, running off across the field- hand still raised in a wave.
Haruka frowned, she was going to kill her when they next met.
