Chapter 3 - two weeks after the split...
Hana did fail the biology test. Worst of all, she not only failed the biology topical test, she had also failed her best subject, Chemistry.
"Nani? How can I fail chemistry?" she asked herself. "Papa will be so angry,"
At the Sakuragi household...
Dinner...
"Hana-chan, I was called by your chemistry sensei that you had failed your chemistry test, I was also called by your biology sensei that you had failed your biology test, and also called by your English sensei saying that you had not completed five pieces of homeworks, and called by your maths teacher stating that you slept in class, didn't do three pieces of homeworks, and didn't attend the advanced trigonometry class that you are supposed to attend," Mr. SAkuragi stated.
"Papa, I didn't study for those tests, and I forgot the homeworks, and I forgot about the class," Hana explained.
"But Hana, you never forget your homeworks!" Ryuen said worriedly. "You always write them out in your planner and in your list,"
"Hana, don't forget about your studies, Rukawa dumped you already!" Keisuke said.
"Kei-nii-chan, this has nothing to do with Rukawa! I'm not sad that he dumped me!" Hana outraged. She stood up and left the dining room.
"Aniki, you shouldn't have said that," Ryuen said and stood up. "I'm going to see her,"
Mr. Sakuragi nodded. The only person who can talk senses to that girl is Ryuen.
"Maybe we should let her go away from Kanagawa for a while, to forget Rukawa," Mrs. Sakuragi suggested.
"I think that way too," Mr. Sakuragi answered.
*******
In Hana's room...
Hana's sobbing at her bed.
'Maybe kei-nii-chan's right, I just couldn't forget Rukawa!' she thought.
"Hana! Open the door..."
"Ryuen-nii-chan..." Hana answered, and proceeded to let her brother in.
"Hana, don't be sad!"
"It's been two weeks, Ryuen-nii-chan, I just couldn't forget him!" Hana sobbed.
"How can you forget when he's right behind you everyday, and play with him everyday?"
"Hai,"
"I think you need to change the scene, Hana, go somewhere else, forget Rukawa..."
"I think that way too, Hana,"
"Papa!"
"Maybe you should join Ryuen in the States,"
"What about basketball? The team needs me,"
"We could sort that out, just spend one and a half months there Hana,"
"The winter championship is starting during the first week at winter,"
"Then you return here before winter, is that fine with you? Besides, it will help you to forget Rukawa,"
"Okay..."
Both Mr. Sakuragi and Ryuen felt relieved when Hana decided to accept the compromise.
*******
Mr. and Mrs. Sakuragi talked about Hana before they retire to bed.
"She accepted my offer,"
"What offer?"
"Well, I asked her if she wants to go to the States and study over there,"
"Nani?"
"She said okay, don't worry, Ryuen will take care of her over there,"
"I suppose you are right,"
******
The next day...
"Ohayo, Hana!" greeted everyone when she went down to eat breakfast.
"Ohayo. Papa, had you?"
"Which school are you going to enroll her in, papa?" asked Ryuen.
"I'm thinking of the school that you used to go to before entering university, Kennedy High's the name, isn't it?"
"Kennedy... they've got two excellent basketball teams, and it's not that far from my apartment, what bout you, Hana?"
"Just pick whichever school you think suited me," she answered sleepily.
"Hana, did you sleep last night?" asked Keisuke.
"Of course I'm asleep last night, Kei-nii-chan,"
"I don't think you could cycle this way, let me drive you to school," Keisuke insisted.
"Let me accompany you too," Ryuen said.
"Whatever!" Hana muttered.
******
And so, Hana was driven to school by her brothers, with her sleeping at the backseat of Keisuke's sports car.
"We'll pick you up at five, okay?"
"Fine... fine..."
"Ohayo Hana-chan!" greeted Haruko. "Ohayo, Keisuke-kun, Ryuen-kun,"
"Ohayo, Haruko. Haruko, get Hana to class before she fall down,"
"Ah, hai!" Haruko answered and helped Hana walk to class, she's still sleepy.
"What did you do last night, Hana-chan?" asked Haruko. "You seemed, sleepy..."
"Hmm, I'm studying... for my retests..." Hana answered sleepily. "I failed two subjects, Haruko-chan,"
"Nani? How can you fail two subjects? You are one of the top scorers at school, Hana-chan," Haruko worryingly replied.
"I didn't study at all, Haruko-chan," she answered.
Haruko thought, 'I must scold Rukawa-kun about this, didn't he see that he's torturing Hana-chan?'
Basketball practice...
"Okay, 2nd and 3rd years in team A, 1st years in team B," Miyagi commanded. "Where's Hana?"
"Don't ask us," said the guntais.
Miyagi didn't bother asking Rukawa, its 2 weeks since they've broken up, and the whole school pretty much knew about it already.
"She'll be here, Miyagi-kun, I know she will," Haruko said.
"You sure, Haruko?"
"Hai!"
A half hour later, a curly haired girl came in the practice.
"Sorry, I'm late, Ryocchin, I decided to go for a make-over for a while," the redhead said.
Instead of looking at her normally, the boys gasped.
"Hana? What in the hell happened to your hair????" asked Miyagi.
"I just used a curling wand to curl it, I'm bored of the straight look," Hana explained.
"That's why you are late?"
"More or less,"
"Nice hair, Hana-chan!" said Ayako.
Kaede watched her with a little bit of jealousy. 'She seemed to be able to get over me easily,'
"Okay, I repeat, 3rd years and 2nd years in team A, 1st years in team B,"
Everybody noticed that, in the match, Hana didn't pass the ball to Rukawa at all, even if he's not guarded.
"Hana, can you please stop it?" asked Ayako.
"You mean, not passing to the kitsune?" Hana asked back. "Don't worry, in the real game, I'm not going to do that,"
"You look nice with those curls, Hana-chan, made your hair goes in ringlets," Haruko complimented.
"Thank you, Haruko-chan,"
'She looks healed, but at the same time, looks not healed,' Ayako thought.
****
Home
"Tadaima!" Hana shouted.
"Welcome home," Keisuke replied. "How's school? And what happened to your hair?"
"School sucks, and I went home for a while just now to curl my hair, making me fashionably late for practice," Hana answered.
"Papa's in the library, arranging your leave,"
"Okay!"
*****
Library
"Enter," said Mr. Sakuragi when Hana knocked the library door.
"Hana, how's school?"
"Boring, have you arranged my leave?"
"Yes, this is the letter for your principal, regarding your transfer for a month, this is for Anzai-sensei, and this is for your form teacher,"
"When will I leave?"
