"Hello?"

"Hey, Cindy? It's Fen here!" An excited, chirpy voice floated through the line. Cindy beamed instantly, jumping on the sofa, squealing animatedly.

"Yes!!! Fen!!! You finally called liao!"

"So, how are you over there?"

"Quite fine, I got many new friends now!"

"Good to hear that, but don't forget us okay? Hannah, Satan, and I!"

"Of course I wouldn't! I miss all of you…"

"But make sure you enjoy yourself there."

"I am, oh, listen up, this school is reeeeally weird."

Cindy proceeded to talk about the /weird/ people she met in school, like the Carrot top, eh, Sakuragi, the sleeper, well, Rukawa, and the Electric porcupine…okay, Sendoh.

"Hahaha…this is just so cute," Fen laughed, "I can't believe you actually said all that about people! Looks like life is really different there, even you are different!"

"Really aah? Oh no…I hope I'm not," Cindy hugged a cushion, "So…is Satan girl still going round with those 'Golden fingers' of hers?"

"Oh, yes, you bet, she just tickled me today during recess and made sure I screamed for the whole canteen to hear. Blast her." Fen grunted.

"Ah, you just reminded me, leh, you know right, on the first day of school, I was so scared because the teacher was yelling at Carrot top, I screamed. Really leh, I screamed for the whole corridor and maybe the whole school…bleah," She stuck her tongue out, embarrassed, "Then everyone was laughing at me. Grrr… maybe you should send a shovel over so that I can dig a hole into the ground when required. I think I need that a lot nowadays. So jealous of Carrot top you know, he seem to make a fool out of himself all the time, and everyone laughs at him, but he never seemed to really mind, unless you count those funny 'TEME!!! How dare you call the Tensai blah, blah, blah...' …"

"He sounded interesting!"

"He is, anyway, but I think he's not really that weird as he appeared to be, lor. I saw him during the basketball practices and the way he play was like, very heated and very passionate," Cindy's eyes glossed over,

"It was only when he stopped then he like suddenly remembered that he was supposed to be 'siao' (crazy) and started guffawing about stuff again. Oh, and he calls Sleeper, "Kitsune", cute right? Sleeping Fox."

"Aah…the Sleeper guy sounds interesting…like…like Xin in our class! He sleeps openly and blatantly before the teacher, you said?"

"Yah lor (Oh yes)! And…"

The long night was spent on the phone…

Sakuragi POV

I've made up my mind, I shall tell Haruko about my feelings tomorrow. I started imagining how she would react…

{Reaction 1}

-Replays Yohko scene-

Haruko: I'm sorry; Sakuragi, but I like Rukawa.

/Argh, what thought. Terrible. Skip. Next scene. /

{Reaction 2}

Haruko: *Starry eyes* Really? Hana-kun, do you really like me? I like you too!

/Ah, this is better. /

How should I go about telling her? Hm…maybe I should ask a girl for help, maybe she'd provide pointers, like what flowers, yada…

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakuragi POV

I peeked round the door, and saw Cindy sitting there alone in the class. Okay, so is this good or bad? The good thing is, she is the only girl who wouldn't blast her head off laughing at my request, I think she wouldn't, anyway, and the bad thing is…I don't know how to put it across to her. Somehow, the idea of asking Cindy for dating tips didn't seem too logical…

Okay, Hanamichi, let's go for it.

"Eh, Cindy…"

She turned round and stared at me with those big dark eyes of hers, "Yes?"

"Eh…"

"What?"

"Erm, you see, I like this girl call Haruko…"

"…And then?"

"So I want to tell her about my feelings."

"Uh-huh."

"How do you think I should tell her?"

"Just tell her lah."

"Huh?"

"Actually I don't know."

"What? But you are a girl…surely you will know…"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cindy POV

All right, people, Carrot Top just asked me how to 'fess up to a girl. What the hell would you think I'd know? Nothing.

I told him that. He paused and stared at me.

This is priceless; he actually went flabbergasted for a while and just stared at me like that. What does this mean? It meant that he is a big Moron who actually thought that all girls are experts on dating and courtship.

Suddenly this person's face flashed by my mind: Spikes for a lame excuse as hair, gorgeous smile who knocked out every single female on spot except me, and eh…his name is…what's his name?

"You know, I know this person who can help you."

"Really!" Sakuragi's face brightened up in a big smile.

"Okay, listen up, he's got spiky hair, he is very tall…"

Sakuragi scratched his chin, "Who? Mitsui?"

"No, he's taller than you are, and he's not from our school."

"What school?"

"Something 'nan' " I pondered, trying to recall the other word I saw on the guy's uniform.

"Kainan? Ryonan?"

"I think it's Ryonan."

"Oh darn, that Ryonan baka smiley," His cheerful face sank.

I looked at his retreating figure in surprise, why…what's wrong with asking the 'Ryonan baka smiley'? I mean, he is obviously skilled at getting girls out on dates and etc… isn't it good that I recommended a specialist to him?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakuragi glared at the tall smiling male before him and tried to resist the urge to knock that smile out of his face.

"Smiley, you've got to help me." He finally made up his mind and spoke.
