CHAPTER TWO : ANNALEA SEPHIONE RESMONTELLE

On the next morning, Nanako-sensei announced another new student.

"Miss Annalea, you may come in." said Nanako-sensei, terribly worried at how the guys would look like when they see the girl. She resembles of a goddess.

Annalea walked in, and Nanako-sensei's prediction is right. The guys drooled more than when they drooled for Fiona. They made their area flooding and it expanded even to the others, who aren't drooling. All the guys are drooling except Rukawa who is fast asleep.

"Good morning everyone! Nice meeting you all. My name is Annalea Sephione Resmontelle. Sorry if it's quite complex to pronounce. My mother came from Spain and my father came from France. Anyway, I am 181 cm tall, and I weigh around 50 kg. Nice to meet you!!" said her. She has those fox eyes as well. But a bit larger. It has royal blue colour with a little sense of violet purple at the middle, and a little sense of light purple-bluish in the edge. Her eyes are really beautiful. The short skirt of a uniform totally reveals her beautiful sexy long legs, one thing that made the guys drooled the most. Her hair is very light golden (nearly silverish-blonde, like Marilyn Monroe's). It shines brightly even without lights. Her smile is full of warmth and can make you feel happy just by seeing it. She's very slender. Even though she isn't wearing something tight, you can see her beautiful curves. Her skin is very pale (it's the same colour as Rukawa's skin) yet very beautiful. It looks so soft and slippery, like anybody will slide their hands down very quickly if they touch her skin. Her hair could leave golden glints as the wind blew it around.

"Miss Annalea, you may take a seat next to Rukawa Kaede, at the back of the class. That's the only seat we have left for now" said Nanako-sensei pointing at the seat. Annalea nods and walked towards the seat. Rukawa felt golden glints near him, and found out that it belongs to a girl, with an incredibly beautiful hair, and foxy eyes. She looked so much like Fiona, but she's way much prettier in Rukawa's opinion. He suddenly had a weird feeling.

"Rukawa. That's it! She's the golden girl who appeared in your dreams! There's no way mistaking it!!" said a voice inside Rukawa. Rukawa agreed on that. He smiled on the girl, causing her to blush. Rukawa suddenly realised that she's a shy girl, but her acts does not show that she's a fan of Rukawa already. He liked it. He liked girls who don't judge someone by their looks. She blushed probably because of his looks, but she didn't jump joyfully or even shouted out loud showing that she's very very happy. She just smiled back sweetly and began opening her schoolbooks.

"She's so adorable" thought Rukawa to himself while pretending to sleep. Then he kicked himself mentally. "What am I thinking about?! I am Rukawa Kaede. I should not fall for girls" he reminded himself. But he can't stand the charm of this beautiful girl, might considerably be called a lady. Her hair is long and straight. It has some braids at the right side of her head. He secretly admired her looks.

She seemed to realise Rukawa's stare on her. She glanced at him and smiled her angelic smile. Rukawa cannot sleep anymore now. He just pretended to sleep so he can secretly look at her. "She's the girl of my dreams. I'll never let her go" thought Rukawa.

When the bell rang, signalling recess, all of them got out of the classroom except Rukawa and Annalea. He decided to talk to her.

"Err.hi" said Rukawa nervously.

"Hi!" said the girl with her angelic smile.

"Errm, is your name Annalea?" asked Rukawa rather politely.

"Yes it is. But you can call me Anna or Alea if you'd like" said Annalea, still on her smile.

"What made you go here? I mean, Japan, Kanagawa, and Shohoku?" asked Rukawa, surprised when he realised he had said so many words.

"Long story actually. My parents are still living peacefully back in Britain. Well I used to live there. Suddenly, my parents asked me to stay with my Aunt, Aunt Jannie. She's my mother's older sister. Aunt Jannie lived here with her husband, Uncle Fred. They seemed to have interest in Japanese culture and technology. They're both Spanish I suppose. They went here around 10 years ago. My mother said she's so lonely at home, because she can't have any child" said her, pausing for a moment before continuing. "And back home, my parents are still living peacefully with my little sister, Josephine. She's much shorter than me even though I'm just 2 years older. And besides, she's got brown hair. So much unlike mine, don't you think so?" asked Annalea.

"Sure" was all Rukawa said.

"When people encounter us, they'll never know that we're sisters. Our face don't even look like each other's" explained Annalea. Rukawa nodded. Then, she continues. "Then, I moved here, to Japan. My aunt and uncle happened to be staying in Kanagawa. Then, when they asked me to choose which school to go to, I chose Shohoku. Because it says that it has a great basketball team" said Annalea.

"Why? Are you a fan of basketball or something? Or.do you play basketball?" asked Rukawa, full of interest.

"I love basketball and I do play basketball. I used to do it really often back in Britain with my fellow team members. And I was the captain, though I'm just a first year" explained Annalea.

"Would you like to have a one-on-one with me?" asked Rukawa.

"Oh! You play basketball too?! I didn't know about that! How tall are you? Err, and could you please stand up for a moment please?" said Annalea excitedly. "Ehh, sure." said Rukawa as he stood up. Annalea stood up too. Their heights are so close.

"I am 189 cm. I grew 2 cms since last year" said Rukawa.

"Wow! I'm 181 cm. I'm only 8 cms behind you" said Annalea teasingly. She realised that if she looked straight at him, her eyes would meet the tip of his nose. She looked up and saw his adorable eyes. They melted each other in a stare that seemed like eternity. Just then Annalea regained consciousness and backed away a few steps.

"Umm, sorry, I didn't mean of any offence. I just.just." said Annalea, then tears started rolling down her cheek, while she herself didn't know why was she crying. Just then, Rukawa approached her and his gentle hand wiped away her tears. Then, he looked clearly into her sparkling eyes.

"Don't worry, Anna-san. If you ever had any problem, you can always talk to me" said Rukawa. He smiled afterwards. Annalea smiled back, not knowing the fact that Rukawa actually rarely smiled, that if he smiled then something very special to him must've happened. Annalea still cried, this time even more. Rukawa couldn't help himself. He brought her into his embrace. Annalea didn't budge. Her tears reduced as time passes. Then when she isn't crying anymore, Rukawa let go off Annalea.

"Thanks Rukawa-kun. You're so nice. Pleasure meeting you" said Annalea as she left the classroom with a blushing face. "He's hot" she thought, running downstairs into the canteen. While back in the classroom, Rukawa stared at his palm, and then he held his chest. "I can't believe I hugged her." thought Rukawa.

Then, at the practice, Fiona is still watching Rukawa. Mitsui still looked at her with dreamy eyes. But then soon Fiona left. Seemed as she was in a hurry. Then, Annalea came, not in her uniform though. She's wearing a white T-Shirt with a mini-skirt and had tight pants under it. Mitsui looked even more dreamier on her. And he noticed Rukawa giving her a smile, which is really unusual. "Hah!! Rukawa likes this girl, huh? No way he is getting her, 'coz I will!!" thought Mitsui. Just then, Annalea entered the gym, with basketball shoes. The guys drooled at the view they got there.

"Hey! Umm, can I, play for a while, with, umm, Rukawa-kun?" asked Annalea. After that, Rukawa walked towards her and nodded.

"Sorry if this bothers the practice. But I've promised her a few hours ago" explained Rukawa.

"Alright, boy! And by the way, we'd like to see how good the girl is. She must be a superb if she can beat you" teased Miyagi.

"Hmph!" said Rukawa in reply.

"Oh, by the way, can we start now???" asked Annalea, sweatdrops at what she saw. Both Rukawa and Miyagi in chibi forms backing each other, looked angry, hands folded on their chest, and then sparks started to appear between them. "Umm, could you two please just stop???" asked Annalea softly. Rukawa backed a few steps, wanting to keep some distance between him and Miyagi, while Miyagi, seeing his Aya-chan, who's signalling to him to stop, finally stopped glaring at Rukawa.

"Okay, so let me have a match with her, alright?" said Rukawa.

"Sure you can, you sure want to have a lovely match with your girlie- friend" teased Miyagi again. Rukawa and Annalea blushed, then Rukawa glared again at Miyagi. "Ok, ok, I give up. Yea you can have a match with her" said Miyagi, giving up. He couldn't stand Rukawa's glare for long. Just then, the match begins, with Ayako as the referee. At jump ball, Rukawa got the ball, but4 he was surprised when he saw Annalea's jump. It's really high for a girl. It even almost equals him! He then dribbled into her half, and made a lay-up shot. But surprisingly, Annalea blocked it. She grabbed the ball and dribbled it towards another half. She's running so fast!! But Rukawa's faster undoubtedly. He was right in front of the basket, ready to swat her ball. And he did. She actually tried to make a dunk, and she jumped as high as Rukawa. But Rukawa managed to swat the ball away from her. He then dribbled towards the other half, and tried to make a three- point shot. But he was blocked by Annalea. And then such things go on, meanwhile the Shohoku basketball team members are all sweatdropping and turned impatient.

"God, they've been playing for 10 minutes, and none of them had scored even once!! This girl rivals Rukawa better than Sendoh!!!" said Miyagi in disbelief. He continued to watch the game, with the final score of 0-0. Everyone sweatdropped, while Rukawa and Annalea were breathing hard.

"You're good." said Rukawa.

"You're good too." said Annalea.

"The first time I played without getting any points."

"Me too.you're the best opponent I've ever.had."

"Would you mind.joining.the.team.?"

"Whh-what?! M-me?! W-well.I don't think.I can.because.this is.for guys."

"I think.it's fine.to bend.the rules.a bit"

"Ohohoho, you can join in, Ms. Resmontelle" said Anzai-sensei, suddenly came in.

"Yes, Miss A-err.how should I call you???" asked Miyagi.

"Annalea would be fine" said Annalea.

"Ok. Umm, Annalea, you'd be such a great help for our team. I hope you'd like to join our team. I'm not forcing you, but I'm pleading you.please." said a chibi Ryota with hands in a prayer's position. She giggled at the view and then said, "Ok, fine then. Now you can stop praying 'coz the goddess already granted your wish" said Annalea, with a welcoming position, as Ryota was kneeling in front of her. Everyone burst out laughing at her joke. Even Rukawa. Yes, Rukawa's actually LAUGHING. But everyone else was too busy laughing to notice that Rukawa had been laughing too. Only Annalea heard him laugh.

"Rukawa-kun, you're so cute when you're laughing" blurted Annalea. Everyone froze. Rukawa.laughing? That thing seemed too good to be true, as they really know how Rukawa is like. But this girl, said Rukawa had just laughed. Then, much to their surprise, Rukawa smiled, to one and only Annalea Resmontelle.

"Yeah, I did laugh, Anna-san" said Rukawa, still smiling. Annalea, who didn't really know his usual behaviour, smiled back without a single sign of surprises. This added even more surprises to the team members. Then, Annalea and Rukawa moved onto a seat, having a chat. They talked as if there's no one there to bother them. While the team members all had their jaws dropped. In the chat, Rukawa laughed and smiled a lot-seemed that Annalea had some sense of humor-and it highly surprised the whole team.

"Record!!! The first time kitsune smiled and laughed a lot, in a day!!" said Hanamichi out loud, but Rukawa seemed to ignore it, though Annalea didn't.

"What do you mean? I think he is a guy who smiles much" said Annalea, seeing that the team members had their jaws dropped, while she looked at them in confusion.

"God. I think she knew him at a time which is TOO good" said Ayako.

"Yeah, wait until she knows his true self" said Ryota.

"Ermm.guys, what do you mean? Is Rukawa like a guy who never smiles, or at least doesn't smile much? But I don't think such guys do exist. Especially cuties like him" teased Annalea. Rukawa smiled again. "The first time I saw you I thought you were shy. But now I know you're not" said Rukawa. She just smiled back at him.

"What you said was true, Annalea-san. We've never ever seen him smiled since the first day of him entering this school, even until yesterday. This is the first time we saw him smile" said Ayako.

"Really?! Wow, then you guys must thank me for making him smile" joked Annalea, then everyone burst out laughing. Rukawa just smiled.

"Anyway, it's incredible for you to have succeeded in making him laugh. I guess none of us here can do it" said Ayako.

"Hehehe, thanks, umm.what's your name?" asked Annalea.

"Ayako"

"Oh, alright. Thanks, um, Ayako-san" said Annalea, blushing slightly, for being unable to say such simple words.

"By the way, how did you know Rukawa?" asked Ayako.

"I'm in the same class as he's in. And we talked during recess" said Annalea, glanced at Rukawa. Ayako noticed it, and began teasing her. "Haa! I guess you've fallen in love with this school's heartthrob." whispered her so that none could hear except her.

"No way! What are you thinking about?! And by the way did you just say, heartthrob?!" said Annalea in disbelief.

"Yeah. H-e-a-r-t-t-h-r-o-b, did I spell it right? And why? You seemed quite surprised" said Ayako.

"It was obvious that he's the heartthrob of this school with that typical handsome face, built body, and basketball skills. But I just didn't notice it because I didn't see any girl tailing him behind. At that moment, I thought Shohoku girls took personality as the highest priority, which means they preferred personality to looks. But I guess I was indeed wrong ^^" said Annalea, followed with a giggle, from both her and Ayako.

"Wait till you see him play basketball a bit later, or at least when he made a successful dunk. His fans will come in and cheer crazily on him" said Ayako.

"Oh really? How do they look? Breath-takingly pretty?" asked Annalea.

"I don't think so. Rukawa didn't give a damn out of them anyway. He didn't care if they're goddess-like or even as ugly as the ugliest monsters" said Ayako.

"Hahaha, what a quote you got there, Ayako-san. Do you like literatures?"

"No, I HATE literatures. But once I was asked to make an article for a teen magazine. And then they say I excel at literatures and that I should be a writer or something. It would take the hell out of me" said Ayako.

"Oh I see, but why don't you give it a try?"

"Thanks for the advice but I guess it would take a long time for me to like literatures. They're so boring! And by the way, we'll start the practice now" said Ayako.

"Alright!!" said Annalea. She moved into the court and started playing. She's in the same team with Hanamichi and Ryota, while Rukawa is in the other team with two other juniors (this story takes place with the former freshmen now sophomores, in other words they're 2nd year students now, so Akagi and Kogure aren't in the team. Somehow, Mitsui got to repeat his grade so he'll still be in the team).

"This will be the continuance of our previous game, Rukawa-kun" said Annalea with challenging eyes.

"Sure, Anna-san" said Rukawa, smiled again. But this time the team members didn't get surprised. They knew that Rukawa will only smile to Annalea. But it'll surprise them if he smiled to someone else. Then, it seems that the game was another one-on-one between Rukawa and Annalea. The points are 2-2, not scored by either Annalea or Rukawa. Each of them are guarding each other tightly. Ryota made a point to Annalea's side, and one of the freshmen did one lay-up, evening the score. That score didn't change until the game ends. All of them are exhausted.

"Geez!! That was a great game!!" said Ryota.

"Ohohoho. Annalea-kun, now I'd like to see you play, paired with Rukawa" said Anzai-sensei.

"Alright, sensei" said Annalea, giving Rukawa a naughty smile, and Rukawa returned with the same smile.

"Okay!! Me and Hanamichi will handle you two. Aya-chan, you'll be the referee again" said Ryota. Ayako nodded. So now Annalea and Rukawa are in the same team. Anzai-sensei knew that their combination is very powerful, but he wasn't sure, so he just tried it out.

Anzai was right. They made a perfect combination, better than Rukawa with Hanamichi. They kept passing the ball to each other until someone is close enough to the basket and then the person scores. Annalea had an amazing scoring ability. She can dunk, very rare for girls. Rukawa also did dunks mainly. But he managed to do a fade-away three pointer, so as Annalea. Their defenses are very tight. Ryota's defense couldn't rival both of them. Hanamichi could, but two is too much for him. Once, he tried to shoot. Rukawa failed to block him but out of nowhere Annalea would always jump after Rukawa and did the blocking. Their combination is great. About scoring, Rukawa usually let Annalea do the first attempt, so that if she fails, he could take the rebound and make a dunk. Once, Annalea threw the ball without aiming it, from the 3-pointer line. Before that she gave a signal to Rukawa. Rukawa understood it well, and as the ball flew, he ran and made a mid-air dunk, perfecting the shot Annalea had made. They seemed to be able to read each other's mind very well. Annalea is faster than Miyagi. Rukawa is swiftier than Sakuragi. Annalea can jump as high as Rukawa. And when she wants to, she could unleash her true power, which is almost as strong as Hanamichi's. And somehow, she seemed to have a hidden power that she can use if she wants to. That power is to send someone fell down when they try to block her dunk, only dunk. She can't do it on lay-ups or three-pointers, or any other shots. So, if she tried to make a dunk and someone tried to block it, when they're close enough to the ball, she'll send them down very slowly, so it won't be considered a foul. She could choose to use it or not. She tried to use it on Rukawa but she can't. She doesn't want to do it on Rukawa, but she doesn't know why. But she did several times on Miyagi and Sakuragi. The game ended with the score of 48-2 in favor of Rukawa and Annalea's team. They blocked their opponent's shots so many times that Hanamichi could only score one out of a certain twenties.

"You two were awesome! We'll easily win every games with you two in our team!!" said Ryota.

"Ohohoho. Yes, Miyagi-kun is right. And we're going to the Winter Championship too. I hope you would like to play with us" said Anzai-sensei.

"Of course, sensei. I can't wait to play again with this rival of mine" said Annalea, looked at Rukawa.

"Ohohoho, but in the games you shouldn't play as rivals"

"Sure sensei. I will make you sure that we'll win. Right, Rukawa-kun?" said Annalea, looked again to Rukawa.

"Sure thing, Anna-kun" said Rukawa with thumbs up. Annalea gave him a thumb up too. Everyone shook their head in disbelief.

"Oh my God, they look so cute together. Don't you think they'll make a perfect couple?" said Ayako.

"Sure Aya-chan. Just like us" said Ryota, followed with a swat from Ayako on his butt. He cried in chibi form, while everyone else laughed. Miyagi is specially funny today.

The rest of the practice goes well. Rukawa seemed to enjoy Annalea's company. And then he decided to walk her home.

"Okay Rukawa-kun. But I'd like to visit your house. Can I?" asked Annalea.

"Sure, but please make sure your jaws don't drop" said Rukawa, winked. Annalea sure was confused. Then, Rukawa let her sit behind him on the bike and he rode her to his house. Rukawa's prediction was right. She had her jaws dropped upon seeing his house. It's considerably not a house. More like a palace or something, with great gardens. She entered the house only to find her jaws dropped even more. The inside is much like a palace, with very luxurious chandeliers. He then led her to a very beautiful room, that is shaped round, with a grand piano near the corner. It is totally carpeted in red, and there's a T-Junctioned stairs. So it's like, the man, walking from the left side, and the woman from the right side. Then walked down together, holding hands, ready to dance.

"Is this a ballroom?" asked Annalea in awe.

"You got that right. Wanna dance?"

"What?! I can't dance in this outfit"

"I have a surprise for you then. But later on. Now I'll tour you around the house" said Rukawa. He toured her around the house, and she had her jaws dropped all the way, especially when they reached Rukawa's room, which is on the top floor. It isn't messy like other guys' rooms (probably the maids are cleaning it everyday, yeah, that must be it, Annalea.), instead, it's really clean, and royal-styled. There's a mirror with a golden frame on the wall. The wall was coloured golden itself. There's even a chandelier in the room. The study desk is very well furnished. His bed's king-sized, and there are lots of pillows. There's a TV, complete game devices, and a brown couch in front of the TV. The bathroom that was connected to his room is also beautiful. She admired it a lot.

"Rukawa, your room is.awesome. How'd you get it so clean, and not messy???" asked Annalea.

"My parents. Not to mean that they're cleaning my room. They always got mad when they saw my room's messy. I think I'm used to that, so now I always kept my room clean and tidy" said Rukawa.

"Oh, that's great"

"Now I'd like to show you the outside of the house" said Rukawa. Annalea gasped several times. Rukawa had a perfect swimming pool, with a sweet little garden surrounding it, with some paths that lead to the house. There are also some relaxing chairs. Then, as they walked, Annalea saw a tennis court, a basketball court, and even a golf court!!

"Who plays golf in your family?!?"

"My dad, and he usually took his friends too"

"Oh I see. And by the way, where are your parents???"

"They're in America, for a business-related thingy"

"Oh ok. Um, by the way, what was the surprise you were going to give me?"

"Ah, follow me" said Rukawa, as he led her into his room. He checked his wardrobe for a while, and then he gave her something, wrapped in a beautiful wrapping paper.

"What is inside?"

"Just check it out. I'll go outside by the way" said Rukawa. He went outside and closed the door, as Annalea looked in confusion. Then she opened it, and was so surprised. A gown! A very beautiful gown! And, she realized that she's got to wear it. She wore it, and then she did something with her hair, which Rukawa didn't know (because he's outside and he's not planning to spy her). Then she opened the door, and saw Rukawa with his jaws dropped.

She's extremely beautiful in the gown. The gown is coloured golden-brown, which matched her hair. Her hair had turned into so many curls, and she looked elegant with it. Each of them left golden glints as they moved. He's wearing a diamond necklace, that shines brightly amongst her hair.

"You're beautiful." said Rukawa, and she noticed that he's already wearing his coat.

"You too" teased her.

"Now, let's get ready for the dance. I've asked the musicians to get ready"

"What?! Oh, umm, alright. From where should we be going?" asked her, then Rukawa led her to a room and gave her some instructions. Then, the maids came, doing all the make-ups on her. Rukawa was in the opposite room. Then, he got out, standing in front of the room, and Annalea is also in front of her room. They walked towards each other, and then Rukawa offered her a hand. She put her hand inside his, and he led her to the ball floor. The music began. There are violinists, pianist, trumpet players, etc. Right now it's a slow music, some kind of a waltz. Rukawa danced like an expert, and Annalea decided to ask.

"Hey Rukawa! Where did you learn to dance???"

"I'm just using my instinct. I've never learn how to dance, nor had danced with someone. It's the first time I've danced"

"Reaaalllyy???! But you've danced like a maestro!!! You should join a dancing competition. I'm sure you'll win!!!"

"Thanks but sometimes when I'm not in the mood of dancing I could dance like crap, and I've tried it once, by myself"

"Hahaha, but by the way, let's continue dance" said Annalea. They continued the dance in silence. Rukawa's maids looked at them and some fainted. Well, ALL his maids are in love with their master, Kaede Rukawa. So, the fact is, he's popular in his house nor school, nor Kanagawa, who had known him for his basketball skills.

"I never knew that your maids are crazy for you. Well, half of the Kanagawa female population do, actually" teased Annalea.

"Shut up. I don't care about that anyway. I only cared about someone"

"And who is it??"

"You don't have a right to know"

"Okay, okay, I don't wanna burn up my dancing partner with anger 'coz he'll be dancing like crap then. Sorry!!" said Annalea. Rukawa laughed at her joke. It's the first time the maids heard their master laughed, and they fainted again on how good he looks when he laughs. When the music ended, Rukawa brought Annalea to his room, and gave some other female clothes, more casual ones, for her to change. He went out again. Then, she came out, wearing a creay-chocolate tanktop with a mini-skirt with lighter colour. And she's wearing gypsy-styled boots, which had the same colour.

"Thanks Rukawa-kun" said Annalea, with a smile, not blushing at all.

"It's okay. I don't use it. And both my mom and sis can't use it anymore"

"Sis? You have a sister?"

"Yeah. She's older than me by 4 years. Now she's in Britain, in a university. She's studying about biology. That's her main hobby"

"Does she look like you?"

"Not at all. She has light brown hair like my mom. Her face isn't sharp like mine. And she's about 10 cms shorter than me. But I don't know if she'd grown. She's shorter than you I suppose"

"Oh I see. Does she play basketball?"

"No. She swims and plays volleyball"

"Oh, did she ever see you playing basketball?"

"Just once, when I was still a Junior High student"

"Poor you. Do you hate your sister?"

"Not really. But she's really really annoying at times and can boast about herself way MORE than what she could do, like that idiot Sakuragi Hanamichi who used to call himself a tensai. If he's the tensai, who's the idiot one??? I can't even begin to imagine"

"Hahaha, never knew you got some sense of humor, Rukawa-kun. And I can't imagine a girl as irritating as Sakuragi though. But I don't think your sister is that bad"

"Well, she is"

"Oh okay. Hmm, I'd better go home or mom will be angry"

"Umm, would you like to have dinner with me?"

"Eh??? Um, well, umm.alright, but I'd better call mom first"

"Okay. You can use my cell phone or the telephone there, at the corner of my living room"

"Umm, if we want a quick progress I think using your cell will be better, since the living room is on the ground floor, and the dining room is on the third floor. I might got exhausted when I came back here" said her. She's right. Rukawa's room is on the fifth floor. She'll have to go downstairs 5 floors and go upstairs again 5 floors then go downstairs again 2 floors. It would be too exhausting.

"Okay. Here" said Rukawa, handing her the cell phone, which is NOKIA.

"Wow! Cool NOKIA you got here! What series do you have?"

"Umm, the one you hold there is NOKIA 7650, I still had NOKIA 3330, 3310, 3315, 8210, 8310, 9210, 5210, 8250, and 3350" said Rukawa. Annalea's jaws dropped.

"You got so many of them!! How many numbers have you got?"

"Each of them has a number. So, you can count it. Hmm, there are 9, so I got 9 numbers then" said Rukawa. Again, Annalea's jaws dropped. *How rich can someone be?!* thought her.

"Great! Oh, by the way, I've seen many discmans in your room. How many you've got?"

"Too many to count. I've started collecting them since I was 14 years old. Until now, I'm 17. Hmm, I buy discmans usually every month. So, hmm, maybe I have 36 of them. I haven't counted" said Rukawa, and again, Annalea's jaws dropped.

"Is your family a millionaire or something??!"

"You might say so. Once I've asked my father, about, if he died, how many inheritance I'd get, and my sis. He answered that according to the amount of money he had now, and divided by two, hmmm, I think he said it's 650 million poundsterling, for me and her. So, then, my father must've around 1,3 billion pounds then, 'coz it has been divided by two" said Rukawa, and once again, Annalea's jaws dropped.

"No wonder you've got a palace-like house. Do you think it has increased by now?"

"Umm, maybe, because I asked him about that when I was only 10 years old" said Rukawa, and Annalea's jaws dropped again.

"Oh my God!!! Then you might have a billion pounds if your dad's dead by now!!"

"Not sure"

"Well, okay. I'll call my mom now" said her, dialing her mom's cell phone number. Then, her mom picked up the phone.

"Hello" said her mum.

"Hello mom! This is me, Anna!"

"Oh Anna! Umm, by the way, whose cell phone are you using?"

"Oh, it's my friend's cell phone. And, by the way, I'd like mom to let me have dinner in my friend's house right here"

"It's okay, I'm going out for food as well, anyway. Give me the address and I'll pick you up there"

"Okay" said her. She then asked Rukawa about the address. She told her mom what Rukawa said, and her mom gasped when she saw the address.

"Are you sure this is the address?!"

"Yeah it is, mom. Why?"

"I mean, only very rich people could afford to buy a house there"

"Well yeah he is"

"HE? You're with a GUY?!"

"Yeah mom but don't worry, he won't do anything bad to me"

"Oh alright, dear. Protect yourself alright? I'll be there at 8 PM, or is that too early?"

"Hmm, maybe 8.30 PM will do"

"Okay. Have a nice dinner then, sweetie!"

"Bye mom!"

"Bye!" said her mom, and with that, she closed the phone.

"Rukawa-kun! My mom let me. And she'll pick me up here too!"

"At 8.30?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Don't you think it's too short?!"

"Huh??"

"I mean, you're going to eat in European style. Which means there will be quite a long wait between appetizers, main courses, and desserts"

"That doesn't matter I suppose"

"But it's 7.35 PM already"

"Well, I guess it's okay to let mom wait for a while.hehehe, I still gave her some mercy to make her come at 8.30. Otherwise she would have to wait longer!!"

"Well, whatever you say."

"Ok! Now let's have the dinner!!" said her. Then, she and Rukawa walked to the dining room. Having quite a chat along the way. When they reached there it's already 7.40 PM. Rukawa's maids quickly gave them the menu. At first Annalea's surprised, never knew that there would be a menu in a dining room of a house, but she didn't care anyway.

"I want some Potato slices served with cheese and an Escargot please, for the appetizer" said her.

"You're welcome young lady" said the maid politely.

"I want a veggie soup for the appetizer" said Rukawa.

"Very well master. Please wait for 15 minutes" said the maid, and she slowly got outside.

"Wow, I hope mom won't have to wait too long" said Annalea. Then, after 15 minutes, the appetizers came. Annalea looked at how big the portions are. Rukawa started eating/drinking his soup, and Annalea began slicing her potato and eat them. They're very very delicious. She really wanted to be like Rukawa, eating delicious things everyday.

Then, after about 15 minutes, they finished their appetizers, and the maids took it away. Then, another maid came in, carrying another menu.

"Now would you please order your main courses" said the maid.

Annalea viewed each page in awe. There are all kinds of food there, mostly Europeans. Then, she finally decided, "Seafood Fettucinne please, and you might add some chickens.

"Okay, miss" said the maid, writing her order.

"I want a carbonara spaghetti, with the parmesan cheese" said Rukawa.

"Alright, master. Please wait. In 30 minutes they'll be ready" said the maid. Then she left the room. Annalea gasped.

"30 minutes?!"

"Yeah. Main courses are harder to cook, and they need some while to stabilize the tastes"

"Oh I see. But that means, when mom came, we haven't even eaten our main courses"

"That's okay. She might could eat with us"

"Yeah, you're right" said her. And then they had a little chat when they suddenly heard someone opening the door. It's Annalea's mom.

"Wow! Gigantic house! Annalea's got such a rich boyfriend huh." said her. Then she asked one of the maids where the dining room is. The maid told her the way then she nodded. On the way there, she had her jaws dropped. Even more when she opened the dining room. Her daughter was there, yeah, sitting across the most handsome man she had ever seen.

"Mom!! Wow, don't think we've finished okay! We haven't even eaten the main courses yet!! Now you can sit next to me" said Annalea. Rukawa noticed that her mother's hair is blonde, not golden like her daughter. And their face don't really look like each other.

"Oh, okay dear" said her, taking a seat next to her daughter. Then she whispered, "Who's that dude over there? Your boyfriend?".

"What? No, mom, he's just my friend" she whispered back.

"You must NOT lose him! As far as I know, he's the most handsome dude I've ever seen!!" whispered her mom.

"Well, I, I don't know" whispered her, blushing.

"Oh my, he's so Goddamn gorgeus! If I were you, I would chase him like crazy!!" whispered her mom.

"I'm not that type of person, mom" whispered her.

"Alright alright" said her mom. And then, the main courses came. Her mom looked at them in awe. They began eating, and then they're offered to order the desserts. After they finished their main courses the desserts came quick. Then, when they finished dinner, they all left the dining room. It was then that Annalea's mom realised how tall Rukawa is.

"Man, not only he is good looking like hell. He's also really tall! You must flirt out with him, Annalea!!" said her mom.

"Geez, you don't know, mom. Every time I walked with him in a corridor, girls would shoot out daggers on me, their eyes saying 'Rukawa's mine'. That made me uncomfortable"

"Haa! So that means you like him don't you?"

"I won't be positive about that just yet, mom"

"Okay! I'll be waiting then when he becomes my son-in-law, dear!!" said her mom. Annalea blushed. Then, at the door leading outside, Rukawa waved them goodbye.

"Bye Anna-san" said Rukawa.

"Bye Rukawa-kun! Thank you!!" said Annalea, then she gave Rukawa a goodbye kiss on the cheek. Rukawa blushed but still waved his hands anyway. Then, Annalea stepped into her mother's car, a BMW. Then, her mom drove back home. Still in front of the door, Rukawa smiled to himself. "She's sweet" he thought. And then he walked back home, straight into his bedroom, and then fall asleep.
