*Shara* - Thank you all for the reviews. It's so lovely. I would especially
like to thank Princess cool who reviewed three times. That's so nice.
Van couldn't believe his luck. It has been the worst day ever for him. First his girlfriend dumped him and now he had to win a bet which was almost impossible.
Why couldn't I keep my mouth shut? The words entered his head. Allen always brought the worst out of him. It was something he couldn't understand. Allen's arrogance aggravated him beyond an extreme. One of which he wished not to understand. It was like when they were kids, Allen was always the one who dared him into doing things and he always agreed to do them. He would open his big mouth and Allen would make him prove it. Things truly hadn't changed since they were toddlers.
Van now felt like a predator ready to grab his prey and his prey being Hitomi Kanzaki. The unapproachable girl, the name, she was dubbed in school. She was obviously waiting for her father to pick her up. Slowly he made his way to her.
"Hi Hitomi," he cheerfully said. Hitomi ignored him. Van felt himself gulping; he then saw what looked like her brother approaching them. "Hi Michael," Van smiled. The boy looked at curiously and looked around him to see if there was anyone around him.
"Hi Van," He said with shock.
Hitomi now looked at Van with a rather dirty look. "His name's not Michael, its Mamoru." She then grabbed her brother and took him away from Van.
Van felt a rush of shame and embarrassment. No girl had turned down Van Fanel before. He couldn't believe this.
"Thank God no one saw me," he whispered to himself. Suddenly he heard a roar of laughter. He turned around to see Dryden and Allen. "I'm not going to give up," he yelled at them and walked away. He heard no reply as the pair continued their laughter at his expense.
He went home in a bad mood as he entered the kitchen he saw his younger sister Merle applying make-up on herself. She stopped her actions and turned towards him.
"I heard that Millerna dumped you," she smiled.
"Word gets around fast," Van frowned.
"So who's the lucky rebound girl?" Merle asked as she carried on applying her make-up.
"There's a project I'm working on," Van replied. "But she rejected me."
"I like her already," Merle giggled.
"Shut up," Van instantly reacted. "I have no idea how to get across to this girl, she's unapproachable."
Merle gave him that your so stupid look. "Well have you thought about where the girl's interest lies?"
"Huh?" Van reacted to her question.
"Oh come on Van, find out what she likes and dislikes and use it to your advantage," Merle finished applying the rest of her make-up and gave a quick glance in the mirror. "I got to go; Sydney's cute brother is back from military school."
Van watched as his little sister left through the back door. 'Use it to my advantage,' his thoughts lingered.

Folken sat there and watched his best friend Hitomi doing her usual shift in the roller shack. She was a waitress there and she had to deliver meals on roller blades or roller skates. He was surprised that she hadn't fallen over. Hitomi was a nice person but she was rather clumsy.
"This place isn't busy," Folken said surprised. Folken was a silver haired tall boy with glasses. He was so skinny and he was smart.
"Yeah, it gets busy at weekends," Hitomi said. Suddenly Hitomi saw Van Fanel enter the door. "What does he want now?" Hitomi whispered.
"Hey Hitomi," He shouted out. Hitomi took some spray and cloth and rolled over to a table and sprayed it and started to rub it down with a cloth. Van laughed. "Hey don't wear the table down." Van then looked up and observed Folken, Hitomi's best friend. He waved to him. Folken looked around to make sure he wasn't waving to someone else and then waved back. "So Hitomi I was wondering..." Van started.
"Look I'm not smart," Hitomi blurted.
"What?" Van asked.
"Everyone expects someone like me to be smart but I am not, okay so forget about me tutoring you," Hitomi said as she carried on rubbing down the table.
"Hitomi I don't need tutoring I go the highest GPA in the class," Van announced.
"Then what do you want?" Hitomi asked turning to face him.
"I need help with art," He replied.
"You don't do art," Hitomi said.
"I need to do something about it for independent studies," Van said.
"Look, I'm not that good," Hitomi said. She then started to roll away from him when she suddenly slipped on some tomato ketchup that was on the floor. Lucky for her that Van had quick reflexes and caught her just in time. Hitomi felt his flat muscled arms around her waist. It was weird. Hitomi quickly regained her form and pulled away from his arms.
She whispered the next set of words so softly that it just seemed like a breath. "Thank you."
She rolled towards Folken. Van followed. "Come on, you got to help me," Van pleaded.
"We were going to the arts show tonight here you can have my ticket," Folken interrupted and said.
Van took the ticket from Folken. "Thanks man," Van said. Hitomi's mouth swung wide open in astonishment at what had just happened. Words tried to escape her mouth but they just didn't seem to want to come out. After a period of time Hitomi regained her form and turned towards folken and grabbed him and pulled him away form Van.
"Excuse us for a moment," Hitomi said to Van as she dragged Folken away from Van. When she was sure Van couldn't hear them. "I kicked your ass in third grade and I'll do it again." She angrily whispered. She then gave him a quick slap on the head.
"Firstly I was sick that day and secondly, the most poplar guy in school is stalking you, aren't the least bit curious as to why he is?" Folken stated. Hitomi then gave him her odd look which meant that he was right. She took in deep breath and rolled over to Van on her blades.
"The theatre is at Bond Avenue, the shows at seven, parking is a problem and I'll meet you outside the front entrance," she quickly said and went off as she saw a customer take a seat.
"Seven it is," Van grinned widely.
______________________________
Hitomi couldn't believe that she had agreed to this. She hated the popular kids and all they stood for. They were just plain horrible.
"Hey," She heard a chirpy voice. She turned towards it to see Van. He was wearing dark denim blue jeans and a black t-shirt.
"Follow me," she said and he followed her inside. She gave no greeting what so ever to Van.
"You always this rude," Van asked.
"No just when it's you," she replied. Van didn't know how to react so he chose not to answer.
Van finally noticed what Hitomi was wearing. She was wearing a white baggy shirt and a white matching long skirt.
They seated and watched the show. Van was a little freaked out at first as he saw a man run out in what looked a like a nappy (diaper). Then he saw some dwarf people come out painted in silver body paint and dressed in silver foil making strange sounds.
Hitomi watched him eagerly. He looked tense and uncomfortable but over time he settled as he started to hear the poetry. He really seemed to be affected by it. When the show ended, Hitomi and Van left through the main entrance and headed down the street until the got to a corner where they had to stop at the traffic lights.
"Do you always have to wear your glasses?" Van asked.
"No, I can wear contacts I just prefer not to," Hitomi replied.
"You should wear your contacts because you've got such beautiful eyes," Van softly spoke.
Hitomi then slapped him. "I knew it, I knew it, I should have listened to my own instincts," She yelled.
"What?" Van asked holding his cheek where she slapped him. Hitomi was storming off in the other direction.
She turned around towards him and yelled "When the most popular guy in school is telling what beautiful eyes a girl has on the corner of the street there's only one notion to describe it."
"Hitomi, no that's not what I'm doing," Van yelled. "How are you going get home?"
"I'll catch a ride with Mitch," She replied.
"Diaper (nappy) man," Van whispered to himself. He had learned there names through the course of the night where Hitomi started to talk to him and told him about each individual. He thought he was starting to get through to her and then all l of sudden he hit a bump. "I'm not giving up on you, Hitomi," He murmured.

Van had learnt about Hitomi's resident and he had parked his car on her drive. He then saw Hitomi's father. He owned a swimming pool cleaning company. He then saw Hitomi's brother.
"What's up Mamoru," Van said as he slapped the boy's hand.
"Hey, Van my man, do you want to play Nintendo?" the boy asked.
"Maybe another time," Van replied. Van then saw Hitomi come out the house. He heard her moan when she caught sight of him. He strolled over to her. "Hey Hitomi, what was up with you last night?"
She didn't reply. "Look I'm sorry if you took it the wrong way but I just see you as a friend," He said.
"Just as a friend," Hitomi repeated. He nodded. "Okay then all's forgiven."
"So do you want to go to the beach?" Van asked.
"No," Hitomi replied.
"Don't tell me, you don't like the beach," Van frowned.
"No I love the beach, I just don't want to go with you," Hitomi smiled.
Van then gave a wicked grin and turned to Mamoru. "Hey, Mamoru, let's play Nintendo, a nice long afternoon of Nintendo."
Mamoru smiled happily. "Cool."
Hitomi gave in. "I'll get my bathing suit."
*Shara* -. I'm sorry I'm still following the plot at the moment but I promise things will change. LW has being giving all types of stick for it so please don't worry. It will change.
