"Why do you keep following me around like a lost puppy?" "Because you're interesting." "Fine, tell me, what about me is interesting?" "You." "What about me?" "Ehh, just you." "My personality?" "Nope, just you." "My smile?" "No, just you." "My... hair?" "Hm, maybe. But no, just you." "You don't know how many IQ points I'm losing just by talking to you." I sighed, he chuckled "Nope."

4. - New secrets EXPOSED!

Recap:

I hit send and run off the stage, Kukai quickly runs after me, I finally make it to the park and Kukai's standing next to me. I sigh

"Why do you keep following me around like a lost puppy?" "Because you're interesting" "Okay, then tell me this, what about me is interesting?" "You" "What about me?" "Eh, just... you" "My personality?" "Nope, just you" "My smile?" "No, just you" "My... hair?" "Maybe... nah, just you" "You don't know how much IQ points I'm losing just by talking to you" I sighed, he chuckled "Nope"

(Back to the story)

I finally see someone sitting on a bench, she looks over at me with a scowl on her face but then she spots me and her face lit up. Her eyes showing hate but her fake smile showing love. She looked at Kukai and growled, she didn't walk over to me yet. I turned around to Kukai "It's personal, leave me alone"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"I said yes"

"And I said no"

"Well I said yes!"

"Well I said no!"

I walked passed the bench continuing to argue with Kukai "Go away" "Fine, but text me when you're done, I have something I wanna discuss with you" he sighed, "aright" I replied and he ran away at full speed

I just walked passed the bench and the girl hopped up "Are you Amu Hinamori?"

"Yea" I nodded, her face lit up again "I'm Saaya Yamabuki. The one that texted you" she squeals in a high pitch voice

"Cool" I shoved my hands in my pockets "So... what'cha wanna talk about?"

"Oh, just hang out. I was wondering if you wanted to be my friend?" She asked in more of a demanding tone than a questioning one. I gulped "Sure"

"Hey! I just thought of an idea! How would you like to come to my slumber party tonight? All the cool kids are coming, and you're invited" She held out her arms telling me to hug her

I hugged her but only lightly and pulled away quickly "Um, I'll get back to you later on that"

"Okay, but don't tell Kukai, this is our little secret" She put her finger over her lips and winked at me

"Oh, wait" I pull out my phone "I have no plans tonight, sure, I'll go. Is Utau, Yaya, Rima, and Nadeshiko gonna be there?"

"You mean, Utau Hoshina, Yaya Yuiki, Rima Mashiro, and Nadeshiko Fujisaki?" She questions

I nod "Yeah, they're my best friends"

"Your best friends are my best friends. You can invite them if you want" She shrugs

"Okay" I nod again thinking about how long this conversation is taking. Ya know, Saaya isn't bad but she's not... ya know... exactly, my people... people I hang around with. She's not bad but she isn't, exactly, my favorite... ya know what I mean?

(A/N: When I say that someone's saying btw or lol, that means they're saying the actual letters, not By the way or lol, they're sayin and l o l. Okay?)

"Btw, I need to talk to you about Kukai" she interrupted me from my thoughts

"O-Okay" I sat down next to her on the bench, she took a deep breath "Ihaveareallybigcrushonhimsodoyoumindnothangingaroundhim?"

I looked at her, confused "What?"

"I have a really big crush on him so do you mind not hanging around him? I sort of feel threatened. Can you guys not hang out? It would mean so much to me as your bestie and all" She gave me her puppy dog eyes

I was stunned "W-What? U-Um, I'll t-try... for a friend, I g-guess"

"Thanks!" She squeals and hugs me "And please don't tell Kukai about this or something bad will happen to him, you don't want that to happen, do you?"

"I-I won't" I nod. she jumps "You're the bestest friend in the whole wide world!" She squeals again and runs off

Kukai's POV:

It's been 3 hours since Amu was talking with Saaya, I hope Saaya didn't do anything bad to her. I didn't recieve any texts or calls, I wonder what happened for I decided to text her

From: Kukai Souma
To: Amu Hinamori

Where are you? I told you to text me when you were done talking with Saaya

I sent the text and started walking around where I saw Amu last, I wonder what happened. Just a moment later, I recieve a text message from her. I eagerly take out my phone and read it

From: Amu Hinamori
To: Kukai Souma

Sorry, can't talk now. Busy :(

I sighed at the message, oh... I wonder what's going on

From: Kukai Souma
To: Amu Hinamori

With what?

I sent that message eager to hear from hear from her again but no response. I see her running passed me with her phone in her hand. I watch her run passed me and she doesn't even so much as glance at me... I'm hurt

x-x-x-x

Amu's POV:

I read the message he sent me

From: Kukai Souma
To: Amu Hinamori

With what?

Well, the truth is that I can't even talk to him. I see him walking in the park but I have to get by him. I run by him without so much as a glance, he was staring at me. I felt hurt to do this to him but I have to look busy, for his sake. I can't tell him that Saaya told me not to speak with him!

I run in the school just as the bell rings. I hurry to my classroom and sit in my assigned spot. I just realized that Kukai's sitting right next to me. Saaya's sitting ahead of me and looking back at me with a sligh glare. I mouth the words 'I'm sorry but I can't switch seats!' and she shrugs and giggles and whispers to me 'Hey, do you see Utau's hair style today? It's not in pigtails! How rare!"

I giggle and Kukai looks at me funny "What's so funny?"

"Nothin'" I avoid his gaze and continue exchanging whispers and giggles with Saaya until the teacher walks in. But this time, it isn't Nikaidou, is that...? My mouth drops... the teacher is IKUTO! FREAKIN' IKUTO! Well, he did graduate... so it's not really surprising

Ikuto smirks at me "We have a special assignment today, class. I will pick two students to come up here and tell the class who he/she likes most in the class, who he/she hates most, who his/her friends are and who he/she is trying to avoid. Understand?"

Oh gosh! The class nods, and he clears his throat "You have to be honest, I know everything about all you students so I'll know if you're lying. Understand me?" and the class nods again, he continues "I will pick one boy and one girl in the same row"

I raise my hand, he ignores me and I sigh. I put my hands down and hum going off to dream land. I jerk up to Kukai poking my forehead and Ikuto practically shouting my name "Hinamori! Hinamori~!"

Kukai chuckled "Come on"

"Hinamori, you and Kukai will be presenting it for today. Kukai goes first. Come up here" Ikuto ordered in a calm tone. I shuffled my feet to the front of the class since Kukai was already up there, he began "I don't like anybody, I don't hate anybody, my friends are everybody and I'm not trying to avoid anybody" He sighed

I slightly blushed "I don't like anybody, I don't hate anybody, my friends are Saaya and Kukai, and I'm not trying to avoid anybody" I take a couple steps away from Kukai and look up at Ikuto who gives me and approving nod "You did well, both of you did"

"Cut the crap, Amu. I know you're tr-" He cuts himself off due to everybody crowding around us. He noticed that we were pushed together only inches apart. I screamed and everybody backed away, I sighed in relief and pushed Kukai "Sensei? May I be excused? I have family buisness to attend to"

"Like what?" Ikuto asks me, I feel like ripping out his lungs! "I'm just busy. Hey, Saaya, we need to talk... like, now!"

Saaya grinned "Of course" she was probably happy that I didn't rat her out like any normal person would have done. That makes me a good friend... right?... Right?

Me and Saaya walk out of the classroom. Her grin turned into nothing... she wasn't smiling, frowning, smirking, or grinning... she just looked a bit frustrated. "What is it?" She asked me a bit irritatingly

"Well, first, you're welcome for not ratting you out. And second, what excuse do you want me to have?" I asked her sounding a bit desperate

"I don't care, as long as you don't tell Kukai about any of this!" She yelled at me, I flinched

Kukai turned the corner "Don't tell me about what?"

"That I like tacos!" I say almost immediately. Saaya hit me on my arm, Kukai laughs "You're too funny!" he walked away and started coming back. Me and Saaya took off running towards the girls bathroom and laughing our heads off

x-x-x-x

Kukai's POV:

Amu and Saaya walk out of the classroom. I walk to the door hiding around the corner listening to them

"What is it?" Saaya asked a bit irritatingly

"Well, first, you're welcoming for not ratting you out. And second, what excuse do you want me to have?" Amu groans

"I don't care, as long as you don't tell Kukai about any of this!" Saaya yelled at Amu

I turn the corner making it look casual just in time to see Amu flinch at that last comment Saaya made "Don't tell me about what?"

"That I like tacos!" Amu says almost immediately. Saaya hit her on the arm and I laugh "You're too funny!" I walked away then realized they didn't explain it to me. They were staring at me but then I started to walk to them but and they took off running towards the girls locker room and laughing their heads off

Ikuto walked up to me "What was that about?"

"I don't know! Amu said she doesn't want to tell me that she likes tacos though... which I find really hard to believe since Saaya hit her arm and glared at her afterwards" I chuckle

Rima came running up to us "Hey guys, have you seen Nagihiko?"

Me and Ikuto both shake ours heads "No"

Ikuto puts an arm on my shoulder "Just text her, man. Unless you're daring enough to waltz right in the girls bathroom! Either you or me, dude!" he laughed. I laughed aswell "You wish!"

"Yes! Yes I do!" He chuckled and his laugh died down "But, no joke, text her"

Rima slaps us on the head and stomps away angerily grunting "Perverts!"

"By the way, why are you the teacher today?" I asked him

"Well, since I graduated, I'm old enough to teach here. And Nikaidou was sick, I recieved a call from the school asking me if I could fill in, so I just said 'sure'... their isn't much of a reason, I just didn't have anything better to do. Plus, I get paid!" He smirked

I nodded "But isn't it hard?"

"To give orders? No way!" He laughed

"Alright, I think I'm gonna text Amu now" I start walking towards the guys locker room leaving Ikuto behind... and confused

I take out my phone when I reach the boys locker room, Nagihiko just got out of the locker room. His hair was soaking and dripping "Hey, Kukai, going somewhere?"

I nodded, "Yeah... um, did you just take a shower?"

"Yeah, why?" He asks me, I shrug "Rima was lookin' for ya"

He nods "Alright, c'ya" he walks away

"Later!" I call out as I pull out my phone "First to text Rima"

From: Kukai Souma
To: Rima Mashiro

I saw Nagihiko, I told him you were lookin' for him, he's lookin' for you

I send it and text Amu...

x-x-x-x

Amu's POV:

Me and Saaya were gossiping in the locker room and were giggling like crazy. Saaya put a hand on my shoulder "Sorry for snapping at you earlier"

"Don't mention it! You're still my best friend, right?" I ask her sounding disappointed

She nodded and hugged me "Don't worry! You're my bestest friend, as long as you don't hang around Kukai then you're my best friend in the world!" she rubbed my back

I nodded "Y-Yeah" then I got a text

She looked confused "Who's is from?"

I looked at it "Its from Kukai"

From: Kukai Souma
To: Amu Hinamori

Where'd you run off to? We have a sport meeting... you weren't at Basketball practice today, where are you!?

I sighed "Want me to ignore it?"

She nodded "Please?"

"Okay but I'm still gonna have to go to practice with him and all my sports meetings. I'll do my best to avoid him though! I promise!" I bowed slightly

She glared at me "You better! ... but you're still my bestie" her expression softened

"Thanks" I pat her on the head and she ruffled my hair "No prob!"

I giggled then recieved another text from Kukai

From: Kukai Souma
To: Amu Hinamori

WE HAVE A SPORTS MEETING RIGHT NOW! SOMEONE TOLD ME YOU'RE IN THE LOCKER ROOM! GET OUT HERE NOW! OR ELSE WE'LL BE LATE!

I sighed "I have a club meeting, c'ya" I hugged her and she hugged me back "Bye"

"Bye" I waved and walked out of the locker room. I was tackled by Kukai "COME ON!"

"No... you go... I'll walk by myself" I saw Saaya peek out from behind the corner and she thankfully smiled at me. Kukai gave me a confusingly look "It's Saaya, isn't it?" he raised an eyebrow

"Huh? What do ya mean?" I asked him trying to sound cheerful but he wasn't buyin' it, Saaya glared at me, I gulped. Kukai was on top of me, his hands on both sides of my head and his face was inches away. He looked up and everybody was staring at us, crowded around us... including our friends. Yaya started taking pictures and I could tell Saaya was angry, I mouthed 'I'm sorry!'

Kukai didn't pay attention to any of them "So...? Why have you been avoiding me!?"

"I told you! I wasn't avoiding you! I'm just really busy!" I yelled at him

He leaned in closer angerily, he slightly stiffened "Cut the crap, Amu!" I flinched "What crap!?"

"Fine! But why haven't you responded to my texts or calls!? Why have you been ignoring me with not so much as a glance when we pass each other in the hall!? I thought I was your friend!" Kukai shouted at me and stared at me in the eyes, everybody gasped. My heart just broke in two 'I thought I was your friend!' kept playing in my head

He was laying on top of me, his hands on both sides of my head. His face was inches from mine but I wasn't blushing and neither was he... I noticed

"Because I was busy! I didn't even get your stupid texts!" I growled, "Fine! Prove it!" he grabbed my phone outta my pocket and went to my texts. I tried to grab it back "Hey! Gimme it back!"

He showed me that text

From: Kukai Souma
To: Amu Hinamori

Where'd you run off to? We have a sport meeting... you weren't at Basketball practice today, where are you!?

I sighed "Fine, I didn't answer because-"It's because of Saaya, isn't it?" he interrupted me. I looked shocked "What do you mean?"

"Saaya! She forced you to avoid me, didn't she!? She demanded that you ignore me so she could get close to me, am I wrong!?" He guessed it... ya know, he was pretty much spot on. Saaya looked at me pleadingly. I gulped "I-"Amu... I know I'm right, don't try to defend her" He interrupted me

"Kukai..."Amu..." He cut me off and mimiced my whine "But I know it was her, so confess... now!"

"KUKAI! I'm telling the truth! I'm not avoiding you!" I grab my phone back just in time to get a text. I push him off me and he lands on the floor. I get up "Don't just jump to conclusions! Saaya may like you enough to do something like that but she didn't! Nobody here knows the truth except me. Why're you so worked up about me being busy?! Ya know, I think it's about time you explained yourself!"

He sighs "Sorry"

"It's fine but-" I cut myself off and stare at the text I just got

From: Rima Mashiro
To: Amu Hinamori

I DID IT! ME AND NAGI ARE GOING OUT! It's a sercret though, so shut up about, and don't show this text to ANYONE or you'll regret it, you understand me?

Kukai jumped up "What is it?"

"N-Nothin'" I run outside of the school and see Rima waiting for me in the fields

Kukai chased after me "What?" he was running beside me

I ignored him and ran to Rima "I'm so happy for you" and I hugged her

She slightly squealed "Yay!" but then growled at Kukai "Why is he here?"

"He followed me" I shrugged and shooed Kukai away "Shoo!" he stuck his tongue out at me not moving an inch. I growled and glared at him, he gulped "I just remembered, I have... a thing that needs to be taken care of someplace far away from here. It's an important thing"

Rima giggled "I tought you well, young grasshopper"

I giggled asweell "I only learned from the best, sensei" I slightly bowed and we both giggled "So, you and Nagi... tell me, how's he like?" I started getting serious

She blushed "What do ya mean?"

"I mean~~~~~~, how does he treat you?" We sit down at on a bench

"Well... he treats me like I'm an actual human being and not a troll like most people because I'm short" She scoffs

"I-It's a start... right?" I ask a bit unsure

She laughs "He treats me like he treated you when he used to have a crush on you" she covers her mouth right away

"Huh?" I blink "HUH!?"

Nagihiko walks over "Hey guys, how've ya been?"

Rima's too busy laughing to answer. My face is red and smoke is coming outta my ears... I'm too shocked to answer "Whaaaaaaaa?"

"What're you doin'?" Kukai came over

"WHAAAAAAAAA!?" I screech and people stop to stare

Rima covers my mouth and drags me inside the school near her locker "SHUT UP!"

"EHHHH! WHAT!? WHY!?" I choked out

She giggles "Shhhh, well... I said... used to"

"S-Still!" I cross my arms "Why didn't I know this before?"

"Because I thought it was obvious... if you didn't- Wow! You're really oblivious to the obvious!" She laughed

I growled and got up off the bench "Fine, be that way" and I walk away but hear snickering and giggling behind me. I run down the hallway outside, I run to the soccer field and fall down laying down on the cozy grass, I looked at my watch, I have to prepare for Saaya's slumber party... but I don't wanna get up

A figure walked up to me but he looked shadowy because of the sun, I shadowed my eyes with my hand and looked up at it. It's Nagihiko... great, just great! He was smiling at me "Hey, wanna play a game of basketball?"

"Why?" I asked him sounding bored and I proably looked bored too

"Because I heard that you even beat Kukai at it, and nobody beats him. So I wanted to see for myself" He holds out a hand to help me up

"Um, weren't you there when we played?"

"No, me and Rima were in our classes"

"Oh... um, okay" I take his hand he and pulls me up, but before he can, I pull him down and he lands right next to me laying on his back. We both laugh, he grins at me from the side "You're funny"

I smile "I know" and I get up holding a hand to help him up. He grabs it and pulls me down getting up by himself "Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude" I groan and also get up

He laughs "You wanna play or not?"

"Alright!" I hug him

x-x-x-x
