1978

Two girls sat at the very top of the football field's bleachers. It was a warm early fall afternoon, much warmer than what the girls anticipated, so they shed their windbreakers. The pep rally for homecoming was about to start, the girls could care less about the team and were just glad to get out of class. The warm fall breeze hit them, bringing relief from the warm sun. No words were spoken between the two as they were too busy people watching.

"Look at Fukase right there. Isn't he so cute?" One of the girls spoke up once she spotted her crush. "Ugh I'd kill for him."

"Ehh he's alright, I'm not into red haired boys." The other girl shrugged, not caring about the boy her friend was gushing over.

The girl smirked, "I bet I know who you're looking for?" The friend teased her.

"I'm not looking for him." Which was true, until now. Now all she can do is scan the crowd and hope that she can find him.

There he was, in the middle rows. He was with his girlfriend, IA. She couldn't help but to watch the pair, smiling, laughing, kissing each other's cheek, whispering in one another's ear. As she watched their public display of affection, she couldn't help but to feel sad.

"You know, you could always make it look like an accident." The friend studied the look on her friend's face.

She slowly turn her head, breaking the trance she had on them. "An accident?"

"I know that look; you want him. You need him."

"I wouldn't necessarily say I need him. But he deserves better than her." She whined out that last part. It was true, Len deserved someone who didn't go behind his back to kiss other boys and do God knows what else.

"Riliane, I know he deserves better than IA. He deserves you and you deserve him; its how things are meant to be." The friend tried to convince Rin that they needed each other.

"He doesn't deserve me; he deserve someone who will love him and take care of him."

"Which is exactly what you can give to him."

"Dammit Mayu, Are you even listening to me? IA is cheating on Len!" Rin blurted out, which caused the freshman in front of them to turn around with a puzzled look. "Turn around kid and mind your business." Rin made a rotate motion with her finger and the kid complied, not wanting to upset the upperclassmen.

"Well no surprise there," Mayu pulled out a carton of cigarettes, offered Rin one, to which she declined. "IA is a huge slut. How did you find out anyways?"

"I saw her making out with Dex and reaching for his pants in the gym." Rin scooted a few inches from Mayu, as her friend took her first puff.

"Harsh," Mayu stared blankly at the cheerleaders on the field. "Do you think they have done it?"

"Dex and IA? It honestly wouldn't surprise me." Rin put her arms between her thighs, not wanting to think about IA and her sex life.

"No. I mean IA and Len." Mayu took another drag from her cigarette.

Those words hurt Rin; it was like someone stabbed her heart. Once again, her eyes trailed to the couple, who were sharing another kiss. Just seeing Len kiss IA broke her heart; the thought of him and IA doing it shattered her already broken heart into a million pieces. She continued to stare at them even long after IA excused herself from Len.

"Do you think I should tell him?" Rin was conflicted with herself. While seeing Len with IA broke her heart, it hurt her even more to know that IA was taking advantage of Len. She didn't want to imagine the look on his face if he ever walked in on IA making out with someone else.

"Tell him what?" Mayu asked, thinking that their conversation ended when Rin decided to stare off into space.

"Tell Len that IA is cheating on him."

Mayu only shrugged, unsure on how to help her friend. "Once again, you can make it look like an accident."

Knowing of her friend's murderous tendencies, Rin could only roll her eyes. "I'm not going to kill IA."

"Awwwww" She whined. "It'll be perfect, plus you'll be able to comfort him and get on the rebound."

"You're dumb." Rin was blunt to her friend.

Mayu ignored her.

Rin was about to open her mouth, but the band began to play, signaling the start of the pep rally. At this point it would be useless to say anything to Mayu, since the band would drown out her voice.

The pep rally gave Rin time to think about Len and IA. Her mind was able to drift away from the band, cheerleaders, and cheering of fellow students. She wanted to tell Len about IA and her cheating ways, but at the same time she wondered if it was her place to tell him. Soon the students started to get up and leave as the pep rally was now over. She didn't notice though; she was too deep in her own dilemma. Time past by and she finally came to her conclusion. The walk to his locker was short and she waited for him for the next twenty minutes.

The bell rang and Len was at his locker in no time. "Hey Riliannie," his grin was from ear to ear as he was not expecting her to be standing at his locker.

"Hey Lenny-Benny." She smiled as well, but reminded herself that this was going to be a serious conversation. "Hey I wanted to talk to you. About Aria."

His smile wavered a bit, as if it was a touchy subject for him. "What about her?"

"Well umm I was wondering if you umm knew," she had trouble finding her words. "Where she got her top? It's a really nice shirt." Aw dammit, she cursed at herself. She just could not go through with it.

"Well, uh I dunno."

It was awkward for the both of them. "Well I'd uh better get going," She sheepishly grinned as she began scooting away from him.

"Hey, wait a second," He grabbed her wrist, preventing her from leaving. "As a friend, I need you to hear me out. It's about IA."

Turns out he knew all this time.

I don't know why I wrote this one. It kinda just came and I was like why not.
