A pair of strong arms held onto her, and Hana grabbed it like a life-saving log. She steadied herself and watched Cindy run away with a team of raving mad girls after her life.

"Wh..ew." She looked a little stunned.

"Eh…miss, are you all right now?" A gentle voice shocked her back to life.

"Wh…huh? I'm…I'm all right, thanks," She stammered, staring into a pair of sweet chocolate-brown eyes.

"Then…" Those eyes trailed down to his arm, and Hana realized that she had been grabbing onto his arms until red-marks showed. She jumped back instantly, "Gomen!"

"It's okay," He smiled warmly, "You are not a student of the school, I reckon?"

"Yes…how do you know?"

"I know basically everyone by sight, since the school's not big," He pushed his spectacles up a little.

"Ah, interesting," Hana smiled back at him, unable to resist the gentle boy's smile, "Erm…can I get your email address?" She'd like to know this boy better.

"Oh, sure, it's s-p-e-x-0-5-@hotmail.com, what's yours?" He stared curiously at her expression upon writing the address down.

"So it's you!" She exclaimed, grinning broadly, "I'm hana_path007@hotmail.com!"

"So it's you!" The boy extended his hand, "What a coincidence! I'm Kogure Kiminobu, pleasure to meet you at last,"

"I'm Hana Tokaji, from Tokyo, I came eh, with my friend…" Her vision trailed off in search of a small sized girl who was being chased after by a hoard of rabid fan girls.

"Cindy?"

"You know her?"

"Everyone on the team knows. People are always interested to find out who had the guts to date Sakuragi, and almost nobody believed it when we found out that it was petite, sweet little Cindy-chan," He beamed, "Good for Sakuragi, though,"

"Sakuragi is her boyfriend? And she didn't tell me! She only told me that his name contained 'hana' like mine," Hana scowled mildly, "I'm going to drain the details out of her later," She promised herself.

"Oh, practice's on, so I guess I better get back, hope to mail you soon, all right?" He gave a final smile, and went into the gym, "Ja!"

"J…ja." Hana looked at the gym door, which was sliding close, "Kogure…"
