This meant he would be filled with rage and jealousy.

She thought that she had already met her share of boring people. Apparently, Haruka was wrong. Oh, so wrong.

Despite the fact that this was only the second person she had hung out with today, they had both been boring and she bet the rest of them would all be the same. They would all talk about themselves, slightly oblivious of her, but completely aware of her looks.

Currently, this guy, who had brought her to his room, was sitting in front of her and talking about how great he was in baseball. "What is the focus of baseball? Are you supposed to be compatible with the ball?" she asked, interrupting him. "No! You're just supposed to run around the bases! Have you ever played baseball before?" he exclaimed. Finally! He had made her an opening to where she could escape! "No, but you'll have to teach me some later time. It was a nice time talking to you. Maybe I'll see you again later." Haruka said, standing up and inching to the door. "You can stay here longer if you wish!" "Oh, no, I can't. I would hate to bother you for so long. Bye!" Haruka replied giving a smile back to him and walking out the door.

Ever since Michael Finn left them, many guys came swarming to her, asking her to spend the whole day with them. She escaped, but then one of them found her. How tiresome it was.

Smack!

She had run in to someone while she had been deep in her thoughts. Haruka balanced herself again and she hid her face. She bowed quickly saying, "Sorry!" and tried to quickly rush away. As she was about to turn a corner, she heard a miffed, "Hn."

She whirled around as she saw the person take the last step from her view around the opposite corner.

It wasn't any good. He wasn't any good. Not for her, anyways. Besides, who was that boy to think that he was actually better than her? Shuu had been thinking those thoughts about the boy who had dragged Haruka away.

Anyways, what did he care about her? He just wanted to make sure she was safe. Of course that was all. Of course that was all Shuu cared for. What else was there for him?

Now that the whole session was over, what was he supposed to do? Shuu wondered around the place looking at the new halls and names. How revolting.

He had lost track of time and he walked with his face down. He heard a door close and looked up as a very familiar girl ran in to him. Shuu saw Haruka trying to hide her face and hurriedly try and get away. He walked on turning around the opposite corner, grunting, "Hn."

Again, she had proven to him that Shuu was nothing to her. With the possibility of an exception in coordinating. But that was only right, because he was a rival.

Putting that all together, it made no sense at all. He was just a rival to her, yet she and he were also friends. That had gone unsaid. Now, here he was supposedly trying to be her boyfriend. But he was a rival. And a friend. He didn't want to be her boyfriend…or did he? He most definitely wanted to be her friend, but didn't he enjoy having her as a rival? Of which then could be translated as a challenge or enemy, therefore having a total opposite definition of friend and, even more contrasting, boyfriend, which would man as to a spouse or lover. Those words made him shiver, so he wasn't going to be a boyfriend to her, right? The reason being that the thought of being rivals enticed him, meanwhile the thought of being lovers made him feel queasy.

Had that been Shuu? Haruka was pretty sure that had been Shuu. Or Drew, as he wished to be called. She turned all the way around and walked rushed to the fading shadow from around the corner. If that was Shuu, he could save her from the horrible torture she was receiving, and not only that, but spend a great time with her.

She felt rather happy when she spent her time with him. It made her smile hard and feel bubbly. Of course, only when he was in a good mood. When he was in a bad mood, she always wanted to help him feel better.

Shuu's thoughts were broken as he felt something latch on to his arm. He looked and saw Haruka smiling up at him, and then asking,

"Would you mind spending some time with me?"
