"Eva, wait up!" Everyone was running to school before the ending ceremony. After telling the others that I'd meet up with them later, I went to find Eva. She was walking slowly compared to the ocean of running people. I slowed down and walked next to her.

"Hey Eva. How've you been?"

"Alright. And you?"

"It's been better. Oh ya, I was wondering. You like getting drawing lessons from me. Maybe you can join Art Club with me!"

"Maybe. I like going to the Go Club and the Tea Club."

"That sounds like fun!" Eva smiled. I've noticed that she has been smiling a lot more than the beginning of the year. I like her smile. It's nice and simple. As we hurried to Negi's official introduction to school, I couldn't help but feel proud of him.

"From the New Year onwards, Negi Springfield will be an English teacher on the Main Campus of Mahora Academy." After a few announcements, we went to our classrooms. I loved seeing the smiles on everyone's faces, whether they were thinking about the spring/summer (I'm never sure which) break or thanking Negi for everything he's done. I noticed that only one person didn't have a smile. I asked Eva who she was.

"Oh, that's Chisame-san. She doesn't talk much." I looked over at Chisame. Her face was really angry looking. It was giving me shivers down my spine. I watched as the class got excited about a party they were having later. Chisame almost fell out of her chair though. I looked around, noticing that Carie was sitting next to Nodoka. It's a good thing she made some friends quickly. She always has her head in a book.

"My stomach hurts. I'm going back to the dorms." I watched as Negi ran after Chisame. I pulled out my sketch pad and started drawing. This time it was Asuna and Blondie looking like little kids. I get the feeling that they're more than enemies.

"Hey Shinju." I looked up.

"Hey Asuna. What's up?"

"You do realize that everyone is outside, right?" I looked around. Oh. Well that happens a lot, so I'm not that surprised.

"Whoops. Well, let's go meet up with everyone, shall we?" Before Asuna could say anything more, I packed up my bag, grabbed her arm, and started running outside where the others were waiting for us.

"Asuna! Shinju! Where have you been? We were about to start without you!" I looked around. Everyone was having a blast; even Chacha and Eva were there. I can't wait until next year.

"Umm, is that Chisame in a towel?" Negi didn't answer. Baka…

Hey everyone! I'm going to be taking a break from writing from December 23rd to January 1st. If anyone has any good ideas on what they want done with the story, let me know! Flames are nice, as long as they either roast smores or warm me up when it's cold out!

See ya soon!
