Ice Queen
Chapter 10
Amyza walked along the beach, waves splashing at her feet, she was alone now, she wanted to be alone. She didn't know what to do, just two days ago, two boys, who are both good looking, and extremely good at basketball, proposed to her, one on the night of her birthday party, while the other, after her squash practice.

She sat down on the sand, took a twig, and wrote her name on the sand. 'Heidi Amyza loves...' and stopped herself, and thought, 'who do I love? Is it Kaede? Or is it Akira?'

"Amyza-chan," said a voice. Amyza turned, and saw Sakuragi behind her. Sakuragi was just walking by the area when he saw the icy blond girl sitting on the beach.

"What do you want?" she asked, and propped her chin on her knees.

"Boy trouble? Amyza-chan?" Sakuragi asked. "You got into a fight with Rukawa?"

"No, I'm not fighting with Rukawa,"

"Then if you are not in a fight with that Kitsune, why so blue?" asked Sakuragi.

"Because both Kaede and Akira proposed to me two days ago," Amyza answered.

"Let me get this straight, the kitsune and the spikey smiley proposed to you?" Sakuragi asked again. Amyza nodded.

"So, which one are you going to choose?" asked Sakuragi again.

"That's it, I don't know which one to choose, Sakuragi-kun, if you were a girl, or gay, which one should you choose?"

Sakuragi shuddered at the mention of the word, 'gay'. "Rukawa seemed delicious, but then, so does Sendoh, you are right, I don't know which to choose, it's pretty hard, things like this, you should ask Haruko, by the way, Amyza-chan, I'm not gay,"

"She'll probably tell me to take Sendoh coz she loves Rukawa all to herself, sorry, Sakuragi-kun, no offence to Haruko,"

"Hai, that could be possible," Sakuragi answered, "I don't know how that girl doesn't know that I have a crush on her,"

"Yeah, and it's pretty obvious as well,"

Amyza walked back home on her own. Sendoh saw her, and jogged towards Amyza.

"Amyza-chan!" Sendoh shouted.

"Akira," Amyza greeted, and smiled at Sendoh.

"Have you made up your mind?"

"No,"

"Who do you want to choose? Me or that block of ice?"

"I don't know, Akira-chan,"

"We gave you two days to think,"

"please,"

"All right, I'll give you more time,"
*****
Not knowing what to do, Amyza grabbed the phone and dialed an international number.

"Hello,"

"Mom,"

"Amy, you called! Hey, what is it? Something wrong, Amy dear? Did your father and brother do something wrong to you?"

"No, mom, this has nothing to do with father and oni-chan, I mean, brother,"

"Boy troubles?"

"Hai, I mean, yes, mom, I'm stuck, two boys proposed to me, and I don't know which to choose,"

"Think of the pros and cons, and then, follow your heart, or try to kiss both of them, and the one that make your blood boil is the right guy,"

"I'll try that, mom, but, what if, when I'm kissing one of the guys, the one that loves me saw me with him?"

"Amyza, what did I tell you, follow your heart,"

"Thanks mom, bye,"

"Bye, darling, don't forget to call,"

Next day, after school...
Rukawa and Amyza cycled together that afternoon. No one dared to spoke. They weren't angry at each other. They were just thinking deeply.
"Now, I should have done what Hediaki had told me. It's too late. That Spikey Smiley Freak might have Amyza-chan now," Rukawa thought.

"I like Rukawa but I don't want to disappoint Akira, though. But duh! I don't care if I'll disappoint Akira. I love Rukawa so it'll be him. But…" Rukawa interrupted amyza-chan's thoughts.

"What if Kiyota courted you again? Are you going to answer him?" he asked. Amyza motioned Rukawa to stop cycling. And so he did. Amyza got out of the bicycle and walked.

"Kaede-kun, can you lead me to anywhere that will cure my feelings?" Amyza asked, without looking at Rukawa straight in the eye.

"Sure," Kaede answered. Kaede led the way and went to an expensive restaurant called "Rendezvous". Rukawa opened the door for Amyza.

The waiters and waitresses looked at them disgustingly with their outfit—basketball uniform for the guy & shirt and shorts for the lady. The restaurant was awesome it had a big fountain in the middle part of the room. Rukawa grabbed Amyza's hand and squeezed it lightly. Amyza looked at him and smiled. Kaede offered the chair of the table near the fountain for Amyza to sit on. Amyza sat on it gracefully as Rukawa went on his chair.
A waiter holding two menus went to their table.

"What would you like to order young lady?" the waiter asked flirtingly.

Kaede quickly looked for Amyza's hand and said to the waiter, "I'll order whatever she orders,"

Amyza looked at him questioningly and said, "I'd like to order a chocolate-fudge, beef steak, cookies & cream sundae and iced tea for my beverage,"

"Did I order the right thing?" she asked. Kaede nodded. The waiter walked away immediately.
"Thanks for this!" Amyza said gratefully.

"It's the least I could do to cure whatever is bugging you right now," Kaede-kun said, "Can you excuse me?"

"No problem" Amyza said.

Rukawa went to the bar area and asked a waitress if he can call. The waitress agreed, giving him the cordless phone. He dialed the Heidi's.

"Hello! This is Rukawa Kaede, may please speak with Heidi Hediaki?" he asked politely—an un-Rukawa tone.

"Hold on" a girl replied—which sounded like the Heidis' maid.

"Kaede?" Hediaki-kun answered.

"I took Amyza to Rendezvous, a restaurant. Is it okay with you and Heidi-san?" Kaede asked.

"Everything's all right with him. You know, I really like you to be Amyza's boyfriend. At least you asked us for permission, unlike Sendoh. Sure! Be home before 8pm." Hediaki said.

"Count on me!" Kaede promised. After they hung up, Kaede rushed to Amyza's and saw that the food was already there and she hasn't started eating yet.

"Why haven't you started yet?" Kaede asked. "I didn't enter here to eat. I entered here to be with you," Amyza-chan replied sweetly.

Kaede sat and started eating. Amyza started eating too. "You haven't answered me yet," Rukawa said, starting a conversation.

"Actually, I wouldn't answer Kiyota even if he tried to court me a million times. I think I already found someone worth my 'yes'," Amyza-chan said, looking up at Rukawa with a smile on her face.

"Oh really? Then why don't you answer my proposal?" Kaede asked curiously while taking a bite on his Chocolate-fudge.

"I'm just making sure that you'll never dump me like what he did" she replied.

"Really?" Kaede-kun asked. Amyza rolled her eyes and nodded. They talked for what seemed like forever. Kaede told her about his family that they're always on a business trip and that he often spends time in Heidi-sans' house.

Amyza told him about the separation of her parents and how wonderful it is to go around the world. They talked everything about their life. And they understood each other more, second by second.
When they finished their dinner, Rukawa called the waiter. He paid the dinner date and added a wholesome amount of tip.

"Now I take all the words back—he's rich!" Rukawa heard the waiter telling his friends. Amyza laughed and they got home together with their bike.

As soon as they got home. Rukawa and Amyza saw 3 bouquets of flowers on the living room table.
On each bouquet "I", "LOVE", and "YOU" were written. Then they saw Sendoh sitting on the couch.

"Hi Amyza-chan, Rukawa!" he greeted.

He looked at him coldly and muttered, "Do'aho!" He looked at Amyza and thought of making Sendoh jealous.

"Goodnight, Amyza-chan!" Kaede said as Amyza kissed him on the cheeks—in front of Sendoh. Ooops! Did Sendoh just see Amyza kissed Rukawa? Tsk! Tsk! Not a good scene.

"Don't worry! Soon, Amyza-chan will be kissing you too—on the lips" Sendoh thought, calming himself.

Rukawa walked out of the living room to Hediaki's and told him everything that happened. While in the living room, Sendoh gave Amyza-chan the flowers and said, "I just thought that I might have a chance".

"Everyone has a chance! Akira," Amyza said, lighting Sendoh's mood up. After that, Sendoh quickly left.

The next day, Amyza opened her locker and saw a chocolate inserted there with a note that says, "I love you Amyza! Love, Akira".

Haruko went to Amyza and looked at what she's holding.

"You got that from Sendoh?" she asked. Fuji looked at what they were talking about and exclaimed, "You've got chocolates and love letter from Sendoh?"

The hallway got silent and many girls hurried to Amyza and looked at the letter. The place became so crowded so she slid away from the crowd, leaving the chocolates and letter with them. Then she saw Kaede-kun staring at her.

She went to him and whispered, "Don't worry. It's nothing! See, I gave it to the girls."

After the squash practice, Amyza ran hurriedly to the basketball gym without taking a shower and changing her clothes. She's really perspiring but didn't mind it. She took a seat near the Shohoku bench. Alone. She didn't sit with Haruko and her friends. Ayako whistled.

"Ten minutes break! We'll have 30 more minutes after the break and we're off" she reminded. Rukawa grabbed his towel from the bench and a mineral water bottle out of the table near Ayako. Kaede went to where Amyza's sitting. He wiped the towel to Amyza's face.

"Hey! That's your towel. How about you?" she asked.

"Don't mind me," he said. "Want a drink?" Rukawa offered. "But that's your water!!!" she protested.

"I said don't mind me," giving Amyza the bottle. "Thanks!" She wiped her face with his towel and drank half of the water in one shot.

During the practice, a group of guys went over to Amyza's seat. Amyza kindly greeted them and asked the reason why they're there. Rukawa looked at them with an icy glare—having a ball thrown by Miyagi at his face.

"What a pass!" he grumbled. Then he continued playing. Meanwhile, the guys gave Amyza a golden necklace and an "I love you" note again from Sendoh. Amyza thanked them. They guys left afterwards.

After the game, Rukawa and Amyza both have no bicycle because Hediaki forgot to drive the bicycle to their school so they walked home. Rukawa held Amyza's bag, her books and his stuffs.

"Thanks for offering me to bring my bag for me. It's so heavy!" she complained.

"It's nothing!" , he said. When they got home, Amyza ran to her bathroom's room to take a bath while Rukawa hurried over to the guestroom's C.R.

When he was finished, he went to Hediaki's room and said, "I really hate my life!"

"Nani?" he asked.

"I said I hate my life. Look, my parents aren't home. I don't know where the hell I put my ATM card, so I can't withdraw money. I think Sendoh's catching up!" Rukawa said.

Amyza just finished taking a bath when she feels like talking with her brother, it should be okay to listen to a guy's point of view, now that she had listened to her mother's suggestions. She was about to enter when she heard Rukawa's voice inside the room.

"Well, eavesdropping wont hurt I guess!" she told herself.

"Sendoh kept giving her chocolates, necklace and bouquets. I have no money left to give her that. I spent it all after our date in 'Rendezvous' and the necklace!" he shared.

"Oh! I have to do something…" Amyza said as she left.

"I'm telling you Kaede! My sister might be a flirt. I might not have seen her in for 14 years. But I'm sure, she's not anything for money," Hediaki assured him.

Before Rukawa slept, he went to the Heidi's court. But he heard some dribblings.

"Who could be playing basketball?" he asked himself. He saw Amyza. "Hi! I didn't know you're still awake" he commented as he tried to steal the ball.

"Now you know" she said while laughing.

"Sendoh's really lucky" he muttered.

"I don't think so" she replied as she tried a three-point shoot. Kaede ignored her and continued,
"He's got money for everything!" he said running while dribbling. "Oooh!" she replied—which was again, ignored by Rukawa.

"Look, you two had a date!" he pointed out as he made a shot under the basket.

"It wasn't worth our date…" she explained as she grabbed the ball and made a shot.

This time, Rukawa didn't ignore what she said. Rukawa rebounded the ball.

Then he added, "How about the bouquets?" he asked.

"Duh! No bouquet is worth your towel and mineral water. I know you were really tired at that time," she said as she stole the ball.

"The chocolate?" he asked as he covered the ring when Amyza was about take a shot.

"Are you kidding? a hundred million chocolates is worth your priceless necklace" she replied eluding him and made a successful shot.

"Oh! How about this? I don't think you can point something out of this… How about the necklace that his friends just gave you awhile ago?" He said as Amyza passed the ball to him.

"Have you lost your mind?" she asked as Rukawa passed the ball to her.

"Don't tell me what's it's worth. I don't think you can think of anything else to point out," he protested as he returned the ball to her. She received the passed ball smoothly and angled it to the ring.

"It's not worth of…" she said softly as she threw the ball "a Rukawa Kaede" Shoot! Kaede-kun looked at her and asked, "Is that a yes?"

She placed her hands on his neck and said, "Isn't it obvious?" Kaede smiled.

Amyza pressed her lips to Rukawa's but no movement.

"First kiss?" she asked.

"First kiss. First girlfriend. First Ice Queen," as he tried his best to kiss her right.
