(Amu's POV)
Ikuto……
What are you doing now?
Where did you go?
And…
What were you going to tell me?
Ikuto…
"AMU!"
My eyes sprung open, making me wake up from my dream.
A dream?
I sat up. A dream?
Only a dream?
And…
About IKUTO?
I shook my head. I was going crazy. I mean, I didn't care about him anymore.
I don't have to.
After he graduated from Seiyo two years ago, I don't have to worry about him anymore.
I don't even have to care that Utau still doesn't know that I was that person who danced with him that one dance.
I don't even have to want to know what he was going to tell me….
I shook my head again. Focus on more important things, Amu!
I looked around. That's right. Today, I start eighth grade.
I can't believe I've been here for two years.
Two years….
I sat up.
Nadeshiko's coming back!
"AMU!" I heard Utau, knocking on my door. She was in high school now. And Yaya was in 6th grade.
"AMU! It's seven THIRTY!"
Seven….thirty?
School starts at…..SEVEN FORTY FIVE!!!
CRAP…..
I got up, rushing as fast as I could. CRAP.
I slammed my door open, and grabbed Rima's hand.
"Amu-" Rima started, but I cut her off.
"NO TIME TO TALK!" I yelled, as we raced down the stairs, and ran to our classroom.
We reached the room just in time, and whisked open the door.
Tanaka-sensei, the headmaster, scowled at us. "Sit down girls, you're late. Now as I was saying,"
She continued talking as me and Rima took our seats.
"….your teacher this year, Tsukiyomi-sensei,"
My head, which had been laying down on my desk due to my tiredness, sprung up immediately.
Ikuto was standing there, just grinning at me.
WHAT?

(Rima's POV)
I saw Amu's face go red, at least ten times darker than her hair color.
And she was staring at our new teacher, mouth opened slightly, as the young looking sensei smirked at her.
There were two options, I decided.
Amu had immediately just fallen in love with our new sensei, which not only would be hecka creepy, but awkward, and totally not realistic. Who believes in love at first sight? (A/N: I do!)
Or….
Amu knew this 'Tsukiyomi-sensei,' and didn't like him AT ALL. Not only would this make more sense, but would make this story more interesting.
Frankly, I didn't exactly care. As long as we didn't have the half-dumb Nikaidou-sensei AGAIN, I was fine. But if it was about her love life, then a best friend has to know these things, right?
I smiled in my mind, as Tanaka-sensei left the room, leaving this 'Tsukiyomi-sensei' in charge.

The center. Same as always. But this time, Amu was dragging me around everywhere.
She was trying to find her best friend. Her former, best friend, may I add. And won't be her best friend again, as long as I'm here.
"I don't understand," Amu cried. "I've asked all the teachers who teach eighth grade on the girl's side if Nadeshiko's in their class, but none of them said they knew a Nadeshiko…"
I opened my mouth to say something, but I was cut off. Not by Amu, but a mysterious voice.
"Amu-chan!"
We turned, just in time to see a boy with ridiculously long purple hair, like a girl's.
Get lost, you, I said in my mind. I thought Amu would say that too, but instead she gasped.
"Nadeshiko?"
My eyes widened. "Um…Amu….he's a boy,"
"I know but…..he looks EXACTLY like her! In boy form, I mean," She was wide eyed.
"I am Nadeshiko!" He smiled.
"You were…..a boy?" Me and Amu were in awe.
"Yes! It's my family's tradition and everything, so…"
He went on and on, but me and Amu were in complete shock.
A…..boy?

(Amu's POV)
My best friend…..was a guy?
And I told him…..about my crushes….?
And he saw me…….in just a camisole and underwear!
(A/N: For those Arina Tanemura fans like me, imagine Haine's reaction to Maora)
OH MY GOD!!
I crouched down into a ball, on the ground.
"AHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Rima smirked. She thought this was funny?
AHHHHHHHHHHH…..
"Sorry, Amu-chan," Nadeshiko said.
"Can we still be friends?"
My head was spinning. But at that comment, it stopped. And stood up, deeply embarrassed.
"Yea! We were best friends before, so why not now?"
I saw Rima shoot a glare that could kill at me, then at Nadeshiko.
"Hey, what's your real name, anyway?" I asked him, ignoring Rima for the time being.
"Nagihiko. Fujisaki Nagihiko," He looked at Rima.
"And you?"
"Mashiro Rima," Rima muttered, turning away from him.
Nagihiko took her hand. Rima's face went red, and she looked down to hide her blush, but no avail. I saw it. Haha.
"Pleased to meet you, Rima-chan," He whispered into her ear.
Her face went about eight times darker than it was before, and she snatched her hand away, and turned toward him.
"Who gave you the right to call me Rima?" She snapped at him, before turning to me.
"Let's go, Amu," she said, and pulled me toward the taiyaki stand.
"Bye Nagihiko," I said, and smiled at him.
"Bye, Amu-chan!" he still looked a little bewildered at the way Rima acted.
Sorry, I mouthed.
He just smiled. He had sure mastered the way of girl conversation, because he had said, 'It's okay,'

(Utau's POV)
I don't care where anyone goes in the center. I only have one place.
The ramen shop.
I go there all the time, and I just don't get fat. I think I'm like those special people.
"Hello, Utau-chan! Same thing?" the owner said when I entered.
I nodded. "Salt. Noodles extra-firm. Extra back fat. Seasoned egg topping,"
"Coming right up!"
And usually, I get to eat in peace.
Apparently, not today.
Some boy came up to sit right next to me. I didn't said anything.
"More noodles, extra-firm,"
The boy next to me smiled. "Should you really be eating so much?"
I shot a glance at him. Tall, green eyes, reddish hair.
"What do you mean? I eat as much as I like," I snapped, and got my order.
I finished quickly. "An order of rice, please,"
"'Cause you eat a lot," he commented.
"Is there something wrong with that?" I shot back.
"Not at all!" he smiled. "I love ramen!"
I looked at him, then kept eating.
"My name is Souma Kukai,"
Did I really need to know his name? "Hoshina Utau,"
Then Yaya came in. "Utau, we have to go!" she she yelled, before glancing at Kukai. "Hi Kukai!"
"Oh, hey Yaya," he said.
Yaya blushed, then pulled me up, slamming her money down for me.
"Bye, Kukai!"
"Bye Yaya," he winked at me. "Bye Utau,"
I just stared at him, as Yaya dragged me away.

A/N: You have no idea how long I have been waiting to write this chapter. When I was plotting out my story, I always REALLY wanted to write this. So if the story seems a little rushed, I'm sorry.
I wrote this one hour after I posted the 6th chapter. But I'm posting it a day after. And I'll probably write the 8th chapter after I do this, because really, I have nothing better to do.
YAY! Nagihiko's back! Did I mention that Rimahiko is my favorite couple? In Shugo Chara!, because, NatsumexMikan are definitely my favorite couple of all time.
To get what Utau ordered I had to watch Shugo Chara episode 75 again, and it was a little annoying because it was filled with Tadamu, and it bugged me a lot. Yes, I'm an Amuto supporter, but only because I hate Tadase. (fans, don't kill me. Because then I can't update!)
Oh, and I'm sorry if you think my chapters are too short. I just like it better this way…..sorry!
And if I'm saying sorry too much, I'm sorry. My friends keep telling me I need to stop doing that…
Once again, thank you to all the reviewers!
With love,
