To her surprise it was Ren who had called out. Once he was inside she closed the elevator doors and pressed the button for the main floor for herself.

"Are you going to the garage?" Kyoko asked him.

"Yes. Thank you for holding the doors open for me Mogami-san, and good morning." Ren said being polite as ever.

"Good morning Kuon-san." Kyoko greeted back.

'I knew it. She's still mad at me.' Ren thought.

"If you're going to the set, I can drive you if you want. It'll be a lot faster." Ren said trying to break some ice.

"No thanks. I have a ride. Thank you for offering." Kyoko told him as the elevator came to her floor. Without another word she walked out into the lobby leaving him alone in the elevator.

'I really screwed up this time. I don't think she'll ever forgive me this time.' Ren thought in his head as the elevator closed going down into the garage.

As Kyoko walked out of LME she started walking towards the set. She knew it wasn't right to lie to him but she had to have some alone time before she went into character. Kyoko made sure not to walk by the main streets so that Ren wouldn't see her. As she got closer to the set she slipped into her character Manabe so that she wouldn't have to deal with anything around her anymore. When she reached the building that they were shooting in for the day she walked in and said 'Good morning' to the director and costume designer before she went to her dressing room. She set her stuff down and changed into her outfit for the scene before she sat down in front of the mirror waiting for the makeup artist. After Kyoko got her makeup done she went over to the director to find out what scene they would be doing.

"We are going to film the scene where Manabe-san finds the pen." The director told her.

"Thank you." Kyoko said as she bowed to the director. Kyoko went onto the set and got ready in the position that she was suppose to start with when Ren came out of his dressing room. After a little while the set was ready and all of the crew members were prepared the director called silent on set.

'Phew. We're finally going to start now.' Kyoko thought before she let Manabe back to the surface. As the rest of the set became silent a different air was swirling around Kyoko as she became Manabe. Only a few people in the room could tell the difference in the young woman, but they were use to it by then. It's what happens when she lets a role take over her body.

AS Manabe was walking to her next classroom she noticed something out of the corner of her eye. When she turned to get a better look as the final bell started ring signaling that class was starting. When Manabe got a clear look of that the object was she saw that it was Himuro-sensei's pen. A disgusted look came across her face as the bell continued to ring.

As the last ring of the bell sounded out she thought, 'I was just thinking never to see him again, but I can't believe…..'

'What the...even the person's name is written on it so obviously. What joke is this? Who would fall for it! If I find it, I'd have to go look for you to give it back?' She thought angry at him.

'I definitely won't! Just go and die for all I care….. Even if I didn't find it, it will peacefully be returned to you, that's right, because this school is filled with girls that treat him well!' Manabe thought as she turned away from the pen.

As the sound of rushing footsteps come from the opposite side of the hallway you can hear a loud scream following them. Manabe turned to see what all of the sound was, only to find the sumo club running towards her.

"The bell's already rung! Faster-! If the sumo club members are late, then we're dead-! Being late is the same as being defeated-!" yelled the captain of the team that was in front of the charging pack. Manabe was really shocked about this.

"Ah!" Manabe yelled as she remembered the pen that was in the middle of the hallway. She swooped down just in time before one of the boys stepped on it and got out the way so she wouldn't be crushed under a herd of feet.

'So dangerous-.' she thought as she collected herself. She felt relieved that no one was able to slip on the pen when she realized what she had just done. She had picked up 'His' pen.

'I…..I couldn't resist and picked it up-! Wh- Wh- Wh- Wh- Wh-... What should I do…..' She thought as she started to panick on what to do with it now.

'Righ..Right…..just now, no one saw…..In order to stop you from being stepped on, and so no one will notice it…. I'll just leave it here in the corner…' she thought as she started to place it off to the side of the hallway.

"Were you born liking corners or something? What are you doing there by yourself…." Himuro said surprising Manabe of his presence.

"CUT!" The director called off of the set.

"Lunch break!" he explained so everyone knew what was going on. The two actors walked up to the director to figure out why he had cut the scene in-half.

"Excellent acting as always from the two most talked about stars right now." The director told them as they got into earshot to hear him.

"So, we are going to cut the one scene we had talked about in practice into two then?" Ren asked the director in a slightly confused voice.

"Yes. Correct. We'll start back up where we left off after lunch." The director told them with no explanation as he signaled that the conversation was finished. Turning away Kyoko headed towards the table that was set out with all of the employee meals on it. Ren following her lead started to walk towards the table too. After they had both grabbed their respected bento's Ren turned facing Kyoko.

"Would you like to sit with me and Yashiro for lunch? You can even make me eat this big lunch." Ren said playing around a little to lift her spirits.
