Days. Weeks. Months passed and it grew colder and colder. Naomi hated the cold air but she wasn't a fan of a hot temperature either. She liked it about 65 degrees, no more, no less. December came in a flash and with December came St. White's Day. The one day of the year Naomi despised. On this day for the last three or four years Naomi had faked sick but she was un-lucky this year. Her parents were home for the first St. White's Day in a long time.

Her mother had woken her up early and pulled out the dress she would be wearing that day. Naomi almost died and the thought. It was a short dress with long sleeves. It was white which Naomi hated because she wouldn't be able to eat and thing that would stain the snow white color. She made a note to herself to only eat things like apples, bananas, sandwiches (with out mustard), and ext. She would not be able to eat things like soup, strawberries, and GoGurt. She also hated the white boa like lacing around the edges of the dress. Basically…She hated the dress.

After hearing her mother talk on and on about her daughter not being a lady, Naomi decided to get out of bed just to make her mother happy. She took a shower and then slipped on the dress. She glanced at the mirror hanging on her door and frowned. This out fit was missing something very important. She grabbed a red ribbon off of her vanity and pulled her hair back with it. Now she would have a little individuality and personality and not just be one of the clones.

"Oh! Naomi you look great! Honey, come see your young lady of a daughter!" Naomi's mother had a bright smile on her face and her father soon appeared.

"Naomi. You dolook like a girl." He said with a smirk.

"Shut it, dad!" Nami said with clenched fists. She looked up and noticed her mother's smile was so bright it would rival the sun. She covered her eyes from the brightness.

Her mother looked at her father with a smile and said, "You know Naomi, St. White's Day is very important day in our family. I meet your father on St. White's Day in collage. He also proposed on this day." Then her mother blushed, "Naomi, your were made on this day…"

Naomi's mouth dropped and she backed away disgusted, "MOM! Not cool. I did not need to know that. The thought of you and Dad…ewwwww. I'm scared for life. Thanks mom. Now I'll have to go to a home for insane people because I'm sure I'm going to loss it now that I know that."

"Don't over egzaderate, honey. Now let me tell you 'bout the white ribbon!" Naomi's father walked into his office with a sweat drop on his forehead. "If a boy ties a white ribbon in your hair today…it means this boy loves you and your love will last forever! Now have a great day!" She pushed Naomi to the door and Naomi started off to school.

When she got to school she started work for the festival and didn't get a chance to see Riku or Risa until she spotted them in a hall way talking. She ran up to them.

"Hey Twin 1 and Twin 2. Sup?" They turned to look at her.

"Hey Naomi. Was' up? We haven't seen you all day." Riku said back.

"Just been workin'. You know." Naomi glanced at Risa who was smiling and asked , "What, Risa?"

"Have you heard about the white ribbon on St. White's Day?"

Naomi sighed, "Sorry to damper your spirits, Risa but yes, I've heard to story. Mom told me." Risa frowned. "Fine, Risa…tell me any way…"

Risa smiled and closed her eyes in an angelic pose, "If you get a white ribbon from the person you like on St. White's Day and he ties it for you then your love will last forever."

Naomi sighed What a bunch of shit…

Riku grabbed some crap she had to do and started for the door, "You have to be kidding me! What a bunch of crap…I'm outta here…" She started to walk through the door, "Excuse me…AHEM!" She was topped right out side the door by some guy, Ukawa.

"Riku! Let me get that. That's way to heavy for a girl…I'll carry it for you, and then you can enjoy my company while we walk…Here. Let my manly arms take over."

A sweat drop appeared on Riku's forehead, "You mean it? Here then. Take all of it please." She dropped all of the stuff into his arms and he looked like he was about to fall over.

Risa watched as he slowly walked away, about to fall, "Riku! He's class president! Don't be so rude."

Riku massaged her shoulder and said back, "He's the one who asked for it. He's always saying I need his help although he never actually helps." Naomi snorted, it was true. "So, I say, if he wants to help, l---"

She was cut off by a washing sound next to them which made the three of them jump from surprise.

Naomi shouted, "Dai! What the-"

Daisuke smiled and said, "Good morning!" He was standing out side an open window.

Riku pocked her head out side and shouted, "Good morning? What are you doing outside a third story window?"

"I'm just trying to put the banner up.."

Riku shouted back, "For get it. Skip it! Get in here now!"

Daisuke smiled again, "No, really. It's no big deal." Then he looked at Risa and blushed. Risa turned coldly and started to walk away. "W-Wait Risa!"

Riku said, "Cool it, Daisuke. It's time for the assembly. Lets go."

They started walking and the Riku stopped noticing Naomi wasn't fallowing. She turned to see Naomi staring off into space, "Naomi! You comin'?"

Naomi look down the hall at them and shock her head 'no' with a smile, "I have to go to the bathroom. Go on with out me. I'll catch up." They started off again and Naomi smiled. Finally Riku and Daisuke alone. Maybe Riku would tell him she liked him….Naomi turned the opposite way and decided to walk to the water fountain. She was kinda thirsty.
