A/N: Argh! I hate this. As usual, I read my story again after I published it. And I was annoyed more like devastated by my typing errors. I feel ashamed for those. Sorry for my carelessness my dear readers.

Few days later

"There's a note on my shoe locker." Amu whispered to her friends. "WHAT?" her friends exclaimed then squeezed together to read the note.

Dear Hinamori-sama,

Can we meet after class? I'll wait for you at the back of the building, near the storage room.

~Souma Kukai

"Hmph! That's one of Tadase's friends. He's the one with brown hair and green eyes. The soccer freak." "Are you going? Want us to go with you?" Rima asked. "Its okay, Utau, Rima. No need to worry. You can come if you want. Besides, I think he's going to bring his friends along. Though I doubt it if we can see them. They'll probably just hide in the bushes."

After their classes ended, Amu, Rima and Utau headed to the meeting place. They saw the brown haired guy fidgetting on a spot. When he saw them approaching, he quickly jogged towards them. "Thank you for coming." He shyly said while Amu's friends are throwing daggers at him with their stares. He gulped and hesistantly asked, "Uhm... Can I talk to you alone?" Amu nodded then she turned to her friends. She assured them and asked for a little privacy.

With her friends out of sight, he then led her near a sakura tree. "I... I believe I hadn't properly introduced myself. I'm Souma Kukai. A third year. I... I saw you during PE when both our class are using the gym. And... And I thought you're k-kinda c-cute." he explained as he scratched the back of his neck. "I guess what I'm trying to say is..." He bowed low and said, "Please go out with me."

Silence.

"I appreciate your feelings, Souma-senpai but I have to decline. I can't go out with you. But I can be your friend." Kukai straighten his back and stare at the girl who clearly rejected him. She smiled then bowed. "Sorry, senpai and thank you."

With Amu and her friends out of sight, Tadase, Nagi and Kairi silently emerged from the bushes. "Ah. Too bad, Kukai. Guess it's my turn next." Nagi teased while putting his arms around Kukai's shoulders. "What is Kairi even doing here?" "I just want to watch the show." Kairi said as he pushed his glasses. "Anyways, she's pretty cute, Tadase. No wonder you picked her." Kukai commented. "Hmph! Yeah right."

Amu is very sickly so she is always excused from PE classes. She sat on the corner as she watch her classmates and some of her senpais who are also using the gym. "WAH! WATCH OUT!" somebody yelled. Amu immediately crossed her arms to shield herself. Surprised that she didn't feel the impact, she hesistantly opened her eyes. She saw a guy with long hair looming over her holding a basket ball. "Dude! Be careful!" the guy yelled to his classmate.

"Are you alright? Are you hurt?" the guy asked as he kneeled in front of her. "I'm okay. Thanks for saving me." Amu replied and gives him a smile. "AMU!" shouted her friends as they come over with their teacher on tow. "Hinamori-san, are you alright? Do we need to bring you to the infirmary?" asked the teacher. "It's okay, sensei. Senpai saved me. I am not injured." "Are you sure?" asked Rima. "Be careful. He's one of Tadase's friends." whispered Utau.

After she assured her teacher and her friends that she is fine, they left her and continued the class. "Are you sure, you're okay?" Amu nodded. "You should also go back to your class, senpai." "Nah. It's okay. I already finished my practicals. I was just fooling around with my friends when ball was acidentally thrown at you. Good thing I was near. Do you mind if I join you?" "Suit yourself."

"Ah. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Fujisaki Nagihiko. You can call me Nagi for short. My friends call me that." he said then smiled. "Hinamori Amu." She said as they shake hands. "You have a pretty long hair, senpai. It's straight and silky. It's like a girl's." "Hahaha. Saying my hair like a girl's. That kinda made me feels self-conscious all of a sudden." "Ah! I didn't mean any harm, senpai."

RIIIING!

"Ah! There goes the bell. Nice meeting you, Hinamori-san." Nagi said as he stood up and offered his hand to Amu. "Same here. Goodbye, Fujisaki-senpai."

Inside the third years' classroom. "Thanks for throwing the ball, Akira." said Nagi. "No biggie." answered his classmate that Nagi asked to help for his mischevious plot. "I was really scared that you wouldn't catch it." "Yeah right. Basketball is my hobby and nobody is better than me in basketball."

"So? Now that you finished intoduction, what's next?" Kukai asked. "Befriend her of course. It's easier to get her affection if we start as friends."

A/N: You might notice Yaya is missing. Well, I thought that I would use her in the later parts but then again, I changed my mind. I think Yaya's hyperactive attitude doesn't suit the mood in this story. Sorry if you think otherwise. ^_^
