Ran: ArtsyNinja3 does not own anything except for her own characters and the plot. Yay!

Amu's P.O.V.

I changed into my gym strip: a white tank top with black shorts. I walked back to the soccer field to see the whole team waiting for me. I stretched for a bit and shrugged my shoulders.

"Let's play." The coach divided the teams and I ended up on different teams than Kukai. I was kind of disappointed but I masked my emotions. I walked over to my side of the field and got into position. Kukai and I were going head to head for the soccer ball. I stole the ball from him and started running towards the goal with Kukai hot on my heels. I kicked the ball hard and sent it flying towards the goal. The goalie got ready and jumped to catch the ball, but missed by just an inch.

"And that, boys, is how a girl plays soccer," I said smirking. The boys on the team were left dumbfound as Kukai pouted.

"That's not fair! You cheated, right?" Kukai yelled. "Since when were you so good?"

"Well Kukai, it's called skills." I was really happy to spend time with Kukai. He's been busy lately. Whenever I'm around him, I get this fuzzy feeling in my chest. I snapped out of my thoughts and went back to the game. I dribbled the ball towards the opposite team but I was surrounded. I glared at the boys then kicked the ball above me. I jumped up and kicked it towards the goal.

"2 - 0!" My teammates ran towards me and gave me a group hug.

"Let go of me! You're all sweaty!" They laughed and let go of me.

"Now, now, don't get cocky just yet." Kukai smirked. "The game just started." I just rolled my eyes but inside, I was jumping with joy. But, hey, I have a reputation to keep!

Narrator's P.O.V.

The soccer team went on playing for 2 hours before the coach ended the game. The two teams were tied but it was already sunset.

"If we only finished the game, I would have beaten you," Kukai said cockily.

Amu just rolled her eyes. "Sure, sure."

"Hey! I'm serious!"

"I'm serious too! I mean, can't you just see the seriousness in my eyes?" Amu replied sarcastically. Kukai just huffed and got his stuff as Amu grabbed her bag. They started walking home together.

"Hey, Kukai! Over here!" someone called. They both turned around and saw Utau standing at the school gates. Kukai broke into a wide grin and ran towards her while Amu just stood behind and watched them with sad eyes. She quickly shook her head, put on a smile and walked towards them.

"Hey Utau! How've you been?"

"I'm doing fine, kind of tired actually. My brother kept me awake all night," she replied with a small smile.

"Well, I'm going to leave you two lovebirds alone now." Amu started to walk away but was stopped by Kukai.

"It's not safe for you to go home alone Amu," he said.

Amu just shook her head. "Nah, I'd probably beat the daylights out of them before they could even do something to me. You have nothing to worry about." Kukai grinned and nodded. Then, he started walking away with Utau beside him. Amu watched as their shadows disappeared before starting to walk back home. She arrived home safely but she ran up to her room immediately. When will he finally notice me? She sighed and closed her eyes. Sometimes I wish I never fell in love with him.

Next day…

Amu's P.O.V.

I was sleeping peacefully in my kingdom of fluffiness when the alarm clock just had to wake me up! I yawned, got changed and grabbed a piece of toast.

"I'm leaving!" I shut the door behind me and walked towards Kukai's house. I stopped in front of his gate. I shook my head, then walked away without going into his house to wake him up. I yawned again as I finished eating my toast. I sighed and slung my bag over my shoulder as I walked into the school grounds.

"Ohayo Amu!" I turned around and saw Rima smiling at me.

"Ohayo Rima," I replied.

"Ne, did you know there's gonna be a transfer student?"

I raised my eyebrow. "Really?" She nodded but kept her poker face. I shrugged and walked into the building with Rima following behind me.

"Eh? Where's Kukai?" my other friend, Yaya, asked.

"I didn't bother waking him up so most likely he's gonna be late." Before Yaya could say anything, the bell rang and a few seconds later, the teacher walked in.

"Settle down class!" The class quieted down immediately. "As most of you heard, there is a new student transferring into our class today. I want you all to give him a warm welcome. Come in please." A red-haired boy walked into our class. He was quite tall. He had auburn eyes and wore a black glove on one hand.

"Yo! I'm Taihou Nagatsuka. Pleased to meet ya!" he said. All of the girls had hearts in their eyes.

"Nagatsuka-san, please take that empty seat beside Himamori-san. Himamori-san, please raise your hand."

"It's Hinamori you stupid teacher!" I yelled as I slammed my hands down on my desk and stood up from my seat.

"Sorry, sorry," he said nervously. I sighed and sat back down. I stared out the window as the new student sat down beside me.

"Now I'm going to give you guys a free period since there's a new student! Bye~!" Nikaidou-sensei said, then he pranced out of the classroom. I sweat-dropped and continued looking out the window.

"Hey."

I turned around to see the new student looking at me. "Hey," I said back.

"What's your name?"

"Amu Hinamori."

"Well, I'm Taihou! Can I call you 'Amu-chan'?"

I shrugged. "Sure, why not?" Then suddenly, the door to our classroom slammed open and in came a panting Kukai.

"HINAMORI!" I gulped. Oh shit!
