Ran stomped on her way in to her classroom. She slammed the door closed and slumped back to her seat. Her classmates and Sonoko stared at her in wonder.
"What's wrong, Ran?" Sonoko asked, taking a seat behind her best friend.
"Nothing…," Ran mumbled angrily.
Shinichi, who was taking a nap, sat up sleepily, " 'morning," he yawned. Ran crossed her arms angrily, not minding him at all. Sonoko sighed and leaned back to her seat, "your parents had a fight again, huh?" she folded her arms and stared up, "probably because of your dad's drunkard-ness."
Ran grumbled to herself and slouched. Shinichi looked at her worriedly but then, he smiled, "cheer up, Ran. It can't be that bad. If you want, you could stay over my house tonight. My parents just got home from America," he offered.
Ran blushed and turned away angrily, "no, thank you," she replied.
Shinichi sighed while Sonoko shrugged. "Anyway, I'm going to leave school by lunch time," Shinichi informed as he opened his textbook.
"Why?" Ran asked him, her mood seemed to be lighting up.
"Big case. Inspector Megure needs me," he grinned.
"Oh," she slumped back again and turned away, "so much for a great day at school," she mumbled.

LUNCH..
Ran sat there, refusing to eat her lunch. She stared back at the perfectly wrapped box that contained her all-day supply of energy. Too bad he wasn't there to beg for her lunch. NOT.
Shinichi entered the room and sat beside her, "what's for lunch?" he asked with a grin.
"Here, help yourself," Ran handed him her lunch without hesitation.
He opened the box and stared at it with delight, "wow! You prepare lunch like heaven!" he smiled, "you sure you don't want to eat this?" he asked stupidly.
"Nah," she shook her head with a forced smile, "go help yourself, Meitantei-san."
"Oh well," he smiled down to the food, "itadakimasu!" he said, picking up the chopsticks and started eating the food like a hungry, err, something.
His childhood friend smiled, "you sure eat a lot," she giggled.
"Hey, I can't help it! Your lunch is always so good."
"Anyway, Shinichi. Aren't you going somewhere, like, right now?"
"Nah, it can wait. I'll take you to this new food stall by the gym. Sonoko said it's good."
"…and so you ate my lunch so you can take me there to eat…again?" she chuckled.
"You could put it that way," he smiled.
She laughed and handed him a tissue, "you're so weird!" she smiled.
"Now, did I make you smile?" he asked with a grin.
"You never failed to do so," she smiled but then, she felt miserable again, "if only you could make my mom smile," she said sadly.
Shinichi looked at her sadly, dropping the chopsticks as he stood up, "come on! Let's go to that stall!" he tried to sound happy.
"No thanks, Shinichi. I'm not really hungry," she turned away, looking out the window. Shinichi sighed sadly, feeling hopeless as he left the classroom, leaving her alone again.
She stared out the window and could see people in the gym area, "gym is so far away from our classroom but people still have the mood to go there just to get lunch? Pathetic…," Ran thought with half-moon eyes.

After 30 minutes…
Ran sat there, her stomach was grumbling, "feed me!" but she remained silent. Her fellow classmates stayed at the back of the classroom as they worriedly looked at her, "you think we should just buy her lunch?" a girl asked.
"I don't think she'll eat it anyway," another replied.
Suddenly, they spotted Ran hitting her head on her desk over and over again. They looked at her with half-moon eyes and twitching mouth, "she worries just about everything. Typical Mouri," they mumbled.
But then, their classroom door slide open, "great lunch, huh, guys?" Sonoko smiled at them. They silently stared at her with half-moon eyes and pointed at Ran, "what's wrong with Mouri-san?" they asked.
Sonoko grinned, "problem solved!" she said as she stood beside Ran's desk.
Ran looked up, "if you need me, I'll be in my dream, eating lunch…," she mumbled.
Sonoko grinned, "your husband," she started, "patiently waited in the long line at that stall," she pointed outside, where the famous stall was.
Ran stared at her, "for what?" she asked.
Sonoko grinned again, "oh, he bought you lunch and as he was about to leave the school premises, he ran after me and handed me this," Sonoko gave Ran a lunch box that smelled oh-so good.
Ran stared at it for a minute, "Shinichi did?" he asked sheepishly.
Sonoko nodded, "he waited in the line for 15 minutes just to get you lunch. Isn't that the sweetest?" she smiled.
Everyone in the classroom grinned.
Sonoko placed the lunch box on Ran desk, "eat up," she smirked.
Ran carefully opened the cloth that wrapped the box and there, it was written in his handwriting:
"Smile for me?"
Ran smiled with a slight blush on her cheeks, "idiot…," she thought.

Outside the classroom, leaning against the wall, was a boy who was waiting for a simple smile. As soon as he spotted her smiling, he closed his eyes with a smile in satisfaction. He stood straight and walked along the halls, bouncing his soccer ball on his knee.
