Hey guys! I am SOOOO sorry about not updating for like.. 3 months? Ugh. But, since it's winter break, I am back! (:


Ayu stepped back, admiring her work. She rested her hand under her chin, studying the strokes of paint on the canvas. Her thoughts were interrupted when a group of laughing children passed by. Where was she, you might ask? The park. On the canvas was a picture of the fountain, families, and the clock. Smiling at her finished product, Ayu set it to dry. Wiping her brow, Ayu sat down on a bench, taking a big sip out of her water bottle.

"Hey, cool painting," said a male voice.

Ayu looked up to see a boy about her age, with smoky grey eyes, light brown hair, and grin on his face.

"Oh, thanks!" Ayu replied smiling.

"You're welcome! Oh, by the way, my name is Kenji."

"Ayu."

They shook hands and exchanged shy smiles. Kenji sat down on the bench next to her, and they began discussing art together.


"I'll see you later, bro!"

"Okay, later!" replied Kaji, walking out of the basketball court. He had just won a match, and was glowing with pride.

"Hey, Kaji, wanna go get some ice cream at the park?" asked a fellow teammate.

"Sure!"


"Did you really spill red paint on a girl who was wearing white pants?!" asked Ayu giggling.

"Yeah, it was a disaster. She was so mad at me that she even slapped me!"

"Hahaha! Wow, that really sucks!"

"Yeah, I learned not to carry red paint around girls now."

"Well, that's a good thing! No more embarassing moments for other girls!" said Ayu smiling. Kenji returned the smile, making Ayu blush.

"You look cute when you blush," he said, making Ayu blush even harder.

"T-thank you!"

He responded with a warm smile.


"Kaji, what flavor would you like?"

"Hmm... vanilla is fine."

"One orange flavor and one strawberry please!"

Kaji turned to see a boy with brown hair taking an order. He watched as the boy thanked the employee and return to a bench with a girl who had long black hair. Wait, is that... AYU?! Kaji thought.

He watched as Ayu thanked the boy and started talking to him. Kaji clenched his fist, and began walking over.

"KAJI! WHERE ARE YOU GOING? I HAVE YOUR ICE CREAM!"

Ignoring his teammate, Kaji stomped over.

"Ayu?! What are you doing with this guy?" asked Kaji angrily.

"Um... we were just talking. Why are you so angry?"

"Oh, I'm Kenji, nice to meet you!" said Kenji trying to break the tension.

"Listen, punk, you stay away from her!" screamed Kaji, grabbing Kenji's collar.

"Kaji! What are you doing?! We were just talking!" Ayu said franticially trying to break them apart.

"So, this is the type of girl you are, huh?"

"Kaji, what are you talking about?"

"You played with my heart, and all of a sudden you're going off with another guy?!"

"Kaji! It's not what you think!"

"I think it's exactly what I think," said Kaji before turning around and walking in the opposite direction.

"Wow, your boyfriend is really protective..." said Kenji in shock.

"He's not my boyfriend," said Ayu rubbing her forehead.

He probably will be soon thought Kenji.


"Damn Ayu!" said Kaji punching the wall in his room. "Why is she making me feel this way?!"

He slumped down the wall with his head in his lap, thinking about Ayu...

Ahh, well that was a tense chapter! :) I hope to update more oftenn! DX please review! 3
