Author's Note: I'm so sorry about the slow speed I am writing all my fan fics. Well I'll just cut the crap and start the chapter!

Chapter 3 – Tsukushi meets the bully

School bell rings: Ring Ring Ring

'I'm finally done with school,' Tsukushi said to herself as she was packing her bag. She was pretty happy that school has ended for she has been alone in the class for half the day. No one in her class wanted to talk to her and she wasn't used to keeping quiet in class. At least now she could meet Rui and Soujirou. At least now she has someone to talk to her. She was feeling glad till she realized that she had forgotten that she hadn't asked the duo where she would be meeting them. On the thought of it she felt like crying. 'Why am I always so stupid? I keep forgetting to do the right things at the right time,' she murmured under her breath, looking down and close to tears.

'Tsukushi, are you ready to go off now?' a man stood in front of her said gently. Tsukushi looked up, to her surprise; the guy standing in front of her was none other than Rui. 'I realized that you didn't tell us where you wanted to meet us after school so I thought I should just drop by to see if you have ended your lessons,' Rui explained seeing the shocked look on Tsukushi's face. 'So are you done?' Tsukushi smiled sweetly and nodded. She was delighted that Rui had come to get her so she did not have to suffer the feeling of helplessness and loneliness in this new school. 'Let me help you with your bag,' Rui smiled back and took her bag without waiting for her to reply. 'I'll show you my other friends before bringing you around,' Rui spoke softly to Tsukushi as they left the classroom. Rui didn't know that what he did brought more trouble for Tsukushi as jealous eyes glared at Tsukushi as they leave the class.

'Tsukushi, just you wait,' Sakurako whispered clenching her fists tightly.

At the school's garden

'Tsukushi, meet my friends,' Rui said as he show her to F3. 'This is Soujirou, you've met before. This guy here's our joker, Mimasaka. Finally, meet our leader, Tsukasa.' F3 smiled politely waiting for Rui to introduce her to them. 'Guys, this is Tsukushi. Today is her first day in school and I am going to show her around.' Tsukushi bowed politely.

'So you are Tsukushi. I've heard about you and you are just like what they say,' Tsukasa smiled slyly. He finally met the girl whom had caught Rui's eyes and he was amazed with Rui's taste. Rui was different from the rest of F3 but he never thought that his taste would be so weird. Being straightforward, he couldn't help but say what he think of her.

'What did you hear about me?' Tsukushi asked as her eyes brighten up. She never thought people would talk about her. After all, none of her school mates were nice enough to say hi to her.

'Nothing much. Just that you have a flat chest, flat butt. I presume you have not gone through puberty yet. Not much of a look either, far from the models I have seen,' Tsukasa replied critically. Mimasaka and Soujirou exchanged looks. They knew Tsukasa would be very straightforward about a girl's look but they never thought that he would put it so bluntly. More over, from Tsukushi's expression, they could tell that she was very offended by what he had said.

'I see a storm approaching,' Soujirou whispered into Rui's ears.

'Should we get out of here?' Mimasaka asked softly, half walking away. With so much experience with the girls, Mimasaka knew that Tsukushi is going to blow up and no way is he going to get involved in a fight with a girl.

'Tsukushi, don't be offended by what Tsukasa said…' Rui tried to be a mediator, but it was too late.

'Well, at least I look like a human,' Tsukushi replied sarcastically. 'Take a look of yourself in the mirror. What kind of a man with the right mind will have curly hair? I don't even know how you can be a celebrity when you don't even look like a human. Maybe that is why you stand out in the show biz. They hardly can get monkeys with curly hair on planet Earth nowadays.'

Soujirou looked at his friend and could see purple veins popping out of Tsukasa's head.

Knowing their friend Tsukasa since young, F3 knew immediately what to do. Soujirou and Mimasaka grabbed hold of Tsukasa before he could react. 'Don't stop me!' Tsukasa shouted in rage as he struggles to free himself from Mimasaka and Soujirou. 'Nobody gets away with INSULTING ME!'

'Hurry Rui, bring her on the tour. We can't stop Tsukasa for long,' Mimasaka yelled as he used all of his strength to hold Tsukasa back. Knowing that Mimasaka and Soujirou couldn't hold on for long, Rui immediately took Tsukushi by the hand and pulled her away.

'Bye bye, you octopus head!' Tsukushi shouted to Tsukasa before grabbing Rui's hand and run away.
