A/N: Always try to learn from the best.
Disclaimer: Nope again.
Leaning back against the wall, Risa stared after Hiwatari-kun as he passed gravely through the hallway, heading towards their classroom. Every head seemed to turn after him, and girls twittered and whispered together sometimes even before he could no longer see them.
"Why is he so... so... /Hiwatari-kun/?" Risa exclaimed at last, turning away from the boy who still held the school in awe.
"Because he just is," Ritsuko replied as she finished tying the ribbon back into her hair.
"I wish I knew how he did it," Risa said and peeked over her shoulder to see if the hallway still showed the signs of his passing through, the whispers and lovelorn glances he had left in his wake. "I've tried so hard to be unforgettable, and then he tries to make people forget he exists and is the most popular boy in school!"
"That's what happens when you're gorgeous," Ritsuko said, and when Risa gasped in affront, she hurried to add, "I mean, as a guy! Girls are expected to be gorgeous. But Hiwatari-kun... just has something about him. He acts all standoffish, but he's just... special."
"I know he's special," Risa declared, then spun around to march off after him. "And I'm going to find out why! I'm going to learn from him."
Scampering after Risa, Ritsuko volunteered meekly, "I don't think it's something you can lear—"
"Just you wait, Ritsuko-chan. I'm going to keep my eye on him, and if I don't uncover his secrets by the time we graduate, I'm crazy."
"Maybe you are."
"What was that?"
"Nothing!"
