A/N: What the freak are you guys saying!?!? Hello! D3Fan, you kusottare baba, it's called a love triangle for crying out loud! Ryo's gonna win her heart back somehow, baka! *Calms down* Okay, fine, whatever. I'm tired of these insults, and yelling that I betrayed you. I have not. If you have not already noticed, I'm testing the couples to see which one I'm more of a fan of. Duh! Read my past chapters and my bio, too! It's called a love triangle. That's it; the next insult or nagging I get from even one of you this fic will be discontinued. Sorry Pika 2 and Neo Lady Sakura, and all the other people who like this fic, but I'm serious about this. If you guys can't go with me on the fact that I'm making a love triangle where Ryo will get Ruki's heart back, then I might as well discontinue this fic and finish Sailor Tamers instead, understand? No? Too bad. Yes? Okay, good. Now on with this chapter. This is the last shot I'm taking. Anymore bad stuff form anyone's mouth on any reviews starting from June 15, 2002 to the day you're reading this right now, This fic is going down.
Pika 2: Dun ask how I got over here. What?!? Okay, that's it! Stop saying bad things about this fanfiction, cuz believe me, you dun wanna get on my bad side.
Ruki: EEEP! Head for the hills! Crazy maniac on the loose~!
Pika 2: Hmph. *Stalks off to a different room. You can hear screaming in the background. *
Ruki: I hope that wasn't someone I cared for. Okie, on with the story!
Q-Chan: *sobs* She called me Ruki's Ex! *Sniff*
Ruki: *pushes him out of the way* ya ain't supposed to be here! Okie, on with the fic!
A/N 2: This is in Melody's point of view, if you didn't read the title yet. ^__^ Oh, and Hiroaki-Kun, If you happen to read this fic for some strange reason, gomen, ne, I "kinda" borrowed your last name. ^_~;;
Hiya~~! I'm Melody Kamakura, but just call me Melody. I've got long, wavy, chocolate brown pigtails, and gorgeous auburn eyes! I captured Ryo-Chan's heart a few years ago, and now we're almost like the cutest couple in our old school. But now he left for West-Shinjuku, I begged and begged my parents to transfer me to his school. Obviously, they want for me to be happy, so they agreed. Ryo's so happy to see me! I remember he said he didn't want to be with me, but I then realized it was just a bad dream…I think. I'm not quite so sure, but I just thought it was a dream. And so here I am, out of my bed, and ready to rock at school. Not only will I pick up some boys just in case Ryo-Chan really does break up with me, I'll also be so popular like in my old school! I'll make friends in no time! ^________________^
Yay! What a sunny day today! And another day to hold my beloved Ryo so close to me. I have a feeling he has feelings for another girl…but oh well, I can always win it back! I have a special charm! ^_~
What's more, I'm going to Ryo's school! I already told him, and he was ecstatic! I loved the expression on his face! It was so happy, so glad, and so not alone…but why would he ditch a beautiful, smart, and sassy girl for another one who, I bet, is completely unpopular, unpretty, and most importantly, a geek. I'll take care of him in this school that way, because he's taken care of me so many times before. I need a way to repay him. Oh well, I'll find a way. I'm his girl, after all!
I walked along the sidewalk, thinking about which I should gain first: friends, or guys? Hmm…I then decided to choose both, and started running towards the school. On my way, I found a really cute-looking couple. The guy had an orange vest with a cute, black shirt under it, and brown pants. His hair was pretty navy blue to me, and his eyes were sort-of grayish. The girl had, like, the coolest looking ponytail I've ever seen! It even has highlights! ♥ Her shirt was white with turquoise short sleeves and she wore jeans with two small belts on one leg. The front of her shirt has a broken heart for some reason, but I pushed that aside. I smiled, thinking it looked like Ryo and me the first time we went out. I walked on, reaching the school gates. I looked around and found Ryo-Chan, but he was dawdling. Doesn't he know that he'll be late for class if he keeps that kind of pace? I ran up to him, and greeted him good morning. His face seemed more down as he greeted me back. I asked him what's wrong, but he didn't say anything. I wondered what's wrong. I then realized I had cooking class today before lunch. I could bake him a cake! Yay for me! Just then, the bell rang. I lifted his head with my index finger and kissed him on the lips and told him to meet me at lunch before I ran off to my first class, math.
A real snoozer it was. I've already learned this stuff. The things private schooling can do to you. I can only hear the teacher say, "Blah" over and over again! No wonder Ryo-Chan's parents always state the fact he had good grades since he moved to Shinjuku. My hand raised half the time for questions; I did want to be popular and get really good grads like Ryo-Chan, but I didn't want to sound like a genius in front of everyone; my reputation would be completely ruined! Then what would people think of me? I'd have to hang around with some computer geeks with big, round glasses and speak in a sophisticated manner. It's just plain freaky!
Second class. Stupid. I'm not gonna learn anything in science. What's the use of sex-ed if you aren't gonna learn anything? It's called education, right? Oh well. Third class: Cooking! Yes! Today we get to bake any dessert we want. So I added this ingredient and that ingredient. And just a few minuets and voila! A yellow two-layered cake with chocolate frosting all over the outside of the cake and in the middle of the two layers, sprinkles on top and white icing on the side, and strawberries (his favorite) around the edge of the cake, and his name written in Kanji with some vanilla white frosting. He's sure to cheer up on this! ^___^ For some reason, every girl in class were gawking on the cake I made, especially when I put Ryo-Chan's name. Eh? Omae o Korosu! Don't look at my cake! It's only for Ryo to look at and eat!
So when lunchtime came, I already had the tray set up for him. He came over to me.
"What did you want, Melody-Chan?" Ryo-Chan asked me.
"Ryo-Chan, I noticed this morning you were completely down, so I made you a cake to cheer you up! ^__^" I handed the cake to him. "Here. It even has your name on it!"
Ryo looked at the cake, shocked. He smiled at me, picked up the cake and kissed me on the cheek. "Thanks, kawaii one." I think he got over the sad part of this morning, and I got him back! I told you guys I have a charm! ^_~
Both of us had a slice of cake. "So why, exactly, did you break up with me anyway?" I asked him.
He paused and thought for a moment, or so it seemed, and then smiled. "I don't know what I was thinking. I guess my dad gave me a little too big of a sip and got me drunk and insane."
Then the cute couple walked towards us. I figured they were friends of Ryo-Chan.
The blue haired boy pointed to me and asked, "You're the new kid who baked the cake at cooking class, aren't you?"
"Oh, yeah, I am. Ryo-Chan, could you introduce me to your friends?" I smiled at him.
"Melody, the boy who talked to you is Jenrya Lee, but call him Lee. The girl with him is…" he stopped. His hands trembled. I got scared. I didn't quite know what was wrong. He seemed, well, disappointed. Disappointed of something, but I didn't quite know what he was sad about. "Um…"
I sensed the girl's anger. "So you're Melody," she said to me. "Ryo must really like you. Humph."
Lee looked at the girl, pitying her. "Ruki, it's all in the past. It's okay. Don't talk about it, especially in front of Melody." He pulled her in a hug, and then a kiss, let go, then patted her back.
Ruki, eh? Well, I have a feeling that's the girl Ryo dumped me for. Hmm…looks like I've got competition! "So…" I pretended I knew her all along, as if she was all Ryo talked about. "You're Ruki Makino: The daughter of Rumiko Makino, the famous super-model! You know, Ryo was all he ever talked about ever since he dumped me but believe me he still likes you. In fact, I was jealous. Now I see why he likes you so much! You look rough; you are rough, just like him! Looks like I have competition! Watch out, I'm tough, too." I winked to add a little bit more ditzyness into my sentence. I looked at Ryo, who was now pissed off more than ever. I smiled at him, and whispered, "I'm gonna win this match!" and smiled at the couple.
Ruki blushed, lowered her head and ran away. Lee, having a confused and mad face on, ran the same direction Ruki headed towards.
Ryo's face held an annoyed expression. "You gaki! What did you do that for? She already has a boyfriend!"
I smiled lovingly for some reason. "I know she still has feelings for you. Not only that, I like the competition I'm getting," I said in a slightly seductive voice, which irritated him. I kissed him on the lips for a few minutes, and then walked away for the next class.
I heard Ryo say before I left; "Melody, you're such a troublemaker!" he grinned at me before I waved at him and ran off.
After school, I felt like causing trouble and spying. I climbed up a tree, watching Ryo walk home with Ruki. Strange…why's he doing that? Can't her boyfriend walk her home? Well, it didn't really matter to me anymore, as I jumped from tree to tree, swinging form branch to branch, almost like Tarzan. I finally found out where Ryo was staying while his parents were in South America: Ruki's house. Wow, I then wished I had a camera. As I watched from the tree closest to Ruki's house, Ruki stomped through the door, with Ryo-Chan trailing behind her. A smile slowly crept up my face. I grinned, and clapped my hands together once before saying, "Ryo, Ruki, let's play a lil' game of spy, shall we?"
