~*In St. Rudolph*~

2 weeks later...

"Ohayou!!" Yumi said loudly and quickly stretched her hand to cover her mouth before everyone watching her like sort of an idiot. O yeah, I'm Yuka right now… Be really cool, collecting and calm… She walked to the class that Yuka already told her and promised Yuka that she won't break her image.

"Asakura, can you type this all for tomorrow's schedule?"

"Asakura, can you gather the participant for the English quiz competition?"

"Asakura, can you bring the class's chemistry homework to my office?"

"Asakura, can you tell everyone that the sport class would be canceled and replaced by Math class?"

Yumi was tired. She sighed as long as possible when she sat in the rooftop. "Yuka is really a good student isn't she?" She took her vanilla roll bread from her bag and decided to refill her energy by eating her favorite bread.

"I thought you like chocolate bread than vanilla bread." A new voice appeared and startled Yumi. She quickly changed her expression to calmer one—like the usual Yuka.

"Sometimes a change is good." Yumi said nonchalantly.

"…Somehow I feel you've been practicing your lines." The guy said as he looked at the seating Yumi that froze a little, "…Are you—"

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Yumi said, continuing the line that Yuka ordered her to say if someone pushed her to the corner. "If there's nothing, I excused myself."

Yumi stood up and tilted her head. Shoot! It's the devil himself, Mizuki Hajime. She passed him without anymore words or smile.

Mizuki looked pleased. This atmosphere isn't the usual; I'll check more of her tomorrow.

The next day was obviously bad. Yumi talked more than 30 syllables—unlike Yuka. She smiled a lot—unlike Yuka. She greeted people happily—unlike Yuka. She couldn't take more than an hour being like Yuka.

Being myself is all I can do to make attention toward him! Yumi thought as she encouraged herself. The classmates of Yuka greeted her politely and Yumi gave a wide smile. This isn't like what Yuka wanted, but just until I got his heart... I'm sorry Yuka!

The entire students were surprised — and hardly believed of the sudden change of Asakura Yuka's personality.

After that day, she got closer to the boy's tennis regulars—well that's what she intends to do from the beginning. She now has friend related with Kizarazu Atsushi who she assumed to be handsome.

Mizuki greeted her as she paid a visit to tennis court after school.

"Hello there, Asakura-kun." He grinned, "The news spread so fast, telling you that your personality changed 180 degrees. What exactly happen to you in weekends?"

Yumi smiled cheekily, "Well, that is a question that only you can guess."

"Hey, Asakura," A new voice appeared, "Thanks for borrowing me the book. It was awesome."

Yumi took it pleasantly and smiled at him, "No worries, I have a lot collection at home about history works anyway."

"Do you have the work of Bushido and the Edo period?" He asked, "I kind of need it for the History class next week." He said after offering the book back at her.

"I'm going to check it first and tell you if I have." Yumi said meekly.

As the two talked to each other about books, Mizuki smirked. He cupped his jaws rather wickedly and observed. I knew it, something's odd.

~*In Rokkaku*~

In the same time...

"Hey, let's go shopping after school!!"

"No, wait!! I want to see the latest movie!!"

"I want to try the cake shop across the street first!!"

"How about we go for a karaoke??"

Yuka sighed. She was indeed in the pinch situation. She couldn't eat like she usually eats. The girls almost had taken their time to chat—instead of eating their lunch boxes. She stood up and said, "Excuse me for a while."

The girl doesn't bother and Yuka sighed again. Two weeks or more like this… What would happen to me? She decided to have a small detour from the bathroom to the rooftop. She took a seat there on the cold floor and her mind began to search for her latest novel—yes, Yumi's love life is indeed suitable for a good story.

Then she heard the door clashed open. She snapped from her thought and blinked. Why is this school really crowded? Well, the name is school—of course crowded. Yuka looked down and glanced to the side to see who was coming here—intruding her state of thinking.

"Sup, Yumi-chan!"

Yumi-chan? The one who called her so friendly and with the unusual hair would be Saeki Kojirou, Yuka thought and she nodded at him for acknowledge, "Hey, Saeki-sa—I mean Sae-kun." She stood up and had a look with the group he brought. So this all are the regulars… "Planning to eat here?"

"Yeah, it seems the back yard being used by the first year, so we ended up eating here." He explained while scratching the back of his head. "How unusual to be alone…"

Yuka looked up and said indifferently, "Just having a change." She waved a small hand and walked to the exit door, "Have fun." And that's all she said.

Saeki gave a look at his friend. "Do I sense that she talks rather cold or did I just dreaming?"

"Nah, it's really her," Kurobane said as he opened his breads, "Maybe she have sort of problem."

"Why did she talk like that?? Why?? Why??" Itsuki said as his nose blew down as usual, "Why she didn't clinging on Sae?? Why?? Why??"

"It's not that problem!!" Saeki said hastily and changed to the normal face, "I think she hates me."

"Well, don't think so negative! Ask her instead of doubting!" Kentarou suggested, "Itadakimasu!!"

"Wow, our captain sure grown up." Davide said, "Our captain—ouch!"

"No lame puns!!" Kurobane laughed out loud. "Saeki, don't take it deeply, and she would tell us soon or later anyway!!"

"Maybe…" Saeki said, wondered his mind to elsewhere.

Three days after that, as the school over, Yuka looked at her watch, indicating evening. I don't know if I can catch the train earlier, she thought and looked up to see a figure suddenly come rush to her.

"Yumi-chan! I want to ask you something!!" Kentarou said as he dragged her.

Yuka quickly took her hand and looked down, causing her bangs to hide her eyes, "Where to?"

DID I just saw Yumi-chan blushing?! He thought but ignored the remark for a while. Kentarou apologized for his harsh behaviors and told her, "Usual court! Hurry!!"

Yuka barely nodded and followed the first year captain.

The short haired girl stopped in front of the regulars that was starting to warm up. She looked around and noticed a guy running toward her. It was lucky that there were green fences between them or Yuka couldn't retreat back.

"Yumi-chan, did I make you mad or something?" Saeki asked, concerned.

Yuka gave a look, "No, you haven't done it yet." Hmm… It seems they are fast learner. I'm not really into this sort of plan or something, so I might tell them about this, later on. "Oh, I forgot that you haven't known it yet…"

"About what?" He asked amusingly.

As they all gathered in the locker Yuka started to take off her wig and then she wriggled her hair to let it goes down to her waist. She found a lot of eyes looking her shockingly and some of them speechless. Yuka sat down and huffed.

"I'm sorry to hide this from you, Yumi and I change place for a while." Yuka put the wig on her laps and decided to be silent before they made a respond.

"So, you're the one that Yumi-chan always telling us, Yuka-chan??" Kentarou asked. "That's cool! You both are really twins!"

Of course, or I won't change place with her, Yuka thought sarcastically. "Do you mind if I replaced her for a while?"

Saeki sighed in relief, "Oh, I thought Yumi-chan giving me a cold shoulder because I rejected her."

The rest of the regulars glared him and sighed.

"… I know someday you're going to refuse her feelings, she's really stubborn when it comes to like someone." Yuka explained as she stood up and put on her wig, "I'll be going home—and I didn't plan to tell Yumi that I told you guys about this whole conversation."

"It's okay, leave it to us!" Kurobane said, "By the way do you already know our name??"

"Of course, or I won't agree on this idiotic plan." Yuka said nonchalantly. As she took her bag and slung it on her shoulder, she heard a question directed to her before opening the door.

"Why did you go into a different school and have a different personality with Yumi-chan?" Davide asked, causing him to get another head kick from Kurobane.

Yuka opened the door and smiled emerging to the surface, "…That's exactly why we are twins." Like duh…

Did she just… Smile?

~*At home*~

"-Ne, -ne, Yuka!! Listen to me!! Me and Atsushi-kun exchanged books and diaries together!!!" She said shyness and happiness mixed together. Her smile was really cute—making Yuka wanted to pick on her.

Yuka diverted her eyes from the laptop and looked at her dryly, "Don't forget: he looked you…as me."

Yumi went silent, thus Yuka came back to her laptop and then, after a minute, she heard Yumi spoke, "I'm thinking… I'm going to say about the whole thing to them…"

Yuka heard a thud soon after the moment of silent savored them. "…Do as you pleased."

"Really?!! Thanks a lot!!"

"But do agree on this: I'm going to add this in my novel." Yuka hid her smirk lightly and let Yumi to see only her smiling back.

"Mou!!"

After Yumi went back to her room, Yuka opened her mobile phone and searched for a contact. She pressed dialed to a numerous number—one of them was the devil himself.

"Still wake up?" She said indifferently.

A chuckled heard on the other line. "Asakura-kun, rest assure, I know the situation."

"That's good to know. Let's make an agreement about this…"
