Van was just coming out of the school, when he heard a familiar voice talking. He saw Hitomi sitting on a bench speaking on her cellphone."But Allen, I like it here at this school........., No, I do want to spend more time together.....But , Allen! Wait I........." Then she hung up her cellphone and gave a frustrated cry.

Van walked over and sat beside her. He placed his hand over hers. She turned to look at him, and smiled." Hi, Van." She loved the feeling of his hand on hers. It was warm and comforting. She scooted closer to him on the bench.

"Hitomi," he asked hesitantly." Is there somthing wrong?"

She gave a bitter laugh." I guess you overheard my phone conversation." She turned from him, and put her hands on her lap.

"You can tell me what's wrong you know. Some people say I'm a good listener." Van gave her a warm smile. He hated to see her sad. He was hoping she'd confide in him.

Hitomi turned to look at him.~I barely even know him, yet for some reason I trust him.~"It's my boyfriend, Allen."

Van felt a strange feeling come over him. He did'nt know what he was feeling, but he did'nt like when she mentioned her "boyfriend".

"He wants me to move to his school, Asturia University. He says he wants me close so we can spend more time together, but I think he does'nt trust me to be out of his sight. I told him I only love him and would never cheat on him, but sometimes he's so insecure about our relationship."

" I can kinda understand where he's coming from. I would be insecure too if I had a pretty girlfriend like you." They both blushed at his comment . "You think I'm pretty ?" Hitomi asked. Van's face burned bright red. Why did he say that?!

"I'm very flattered. Thanks Van, you really know how to cheer a girl up." She kissed his cold cheek, and he turned even redder.

"Um, about your boyfriend, you should tell him how you feel. If he really loves you and cares about you, he'll understand how you feel."

"You're right. It's about time I told Allen how I felt . Thanks for helping me. To thank you, I'm treating you to ice cream." ***************************************************** (Hitomi dropped Van off at his house, and they are standing on his front porch)

"Thanks for the ice cream, Hitomi. It was really good."

"You're welcome." They both had their hands in their pockets. " I guess I should go now. I'll see you tomorrow, Van."

"Hitomi wait," Van called. She stopped, and Van walked over to her and gave her a hug. His arms were warm, strong, and comforting. She relished being in his arms."I'm really glad we've become such good friends," he whispered in her ear. She turned her head to look in his eyes. His warm breath caressed her face."Me too." Their faces became closer, and closer until their lips could almost touch................

Suddenly, Hitomi pulled away. " I-I-I should go now. I have alot of homework and chores to do. Thanks for your advice. I'll see you tomorrow!" She would'nt look at him as she jumped in her car and drove away. Van gave a disappointed sigh, then went into his house.

Across the street , a certain young man with silver hair saw all that took place between Van and Hitomi. An amused look came over his face as he thought of what he could do with the "info" he just obtained.......
