Chapter 2:
Miyuki entered the front seat and Rukz sat beside her. Jin let Umi enter the car first. Then he sat beside Umi and Kiyota sat beside him at the back.
While they were driving towards the mall, Rukz began to feel bored.
"Er. Can we have some music, Ichi-chan?"
"Okay." Maki continued looking at the road.
Rukz got a CD from the dashboard and inserted it on the CD player of the Jaguar. She then placed it on full volume.
Umi was startled at the sudden sound of drums. Then she covered her ears because the loud speakers were behind her.
"IT'S TOO LOUD!!" Miyuki yelled so that Rukz can hear her.
"So?" Rukz shrugged and continued on singing the song.
"TURN IT OFF!!!" Miyuki yelled and then turned the music off herself.
"What's wrong?" Rukz asked.
"What's wrong?! You are destroying our eardrums!" Miyuki snapped.
Rukz just shrugged and pulled a headphone from the dashboard and inserted it on the CD player of the car before turning it on again. Then she put the headphone on and continued singing. She kept on moving her hands up and down and happened to punch Miyuki on her jaw.
"Sorry." She muttered before continuing again.
Jin and Kiyota just smiled from the back. They were accustomed to Rukz's loud ways and were accustomed to hearing the speakers to their full extent.
When they arrived at the mall, Maki went down and opened her sister's door for her. Kiyota and Jin also stepped out for Umi.
"In case there is an emergency, call me. Okay?" Maki stooped down and kissed Rukz's cheek.
"Okay, Ichi-chan." She then kissed her brother's cheek and went to kiss Jin's and Kiyota's cheek, too.
"Don't do anything rash, Kiddo." Jin kissed Rukz's cheek.
"Yeah." Kiyota kissed Rukz's cheek. "Don't do anything rash."
"I won't Chiro-chan, Naga-chan. I won't." She then walked away with her friends.
The girls went to a CD store. Miyuki went towards the love song section. Umi went to the classical section and Rukz went to the Pop and Rock section.
She was checking on a CD from the band Queen when someone tapped her on the shoulder. She looked at the person and then smiled broadly.
"Ji-chan. Toru-chan. Hey, hey, hey. Are you two on a date with pretty gorgeous girlfriends?"
Kenji Fujima and Toru Hanagata smiled. They were amused at Maki's sister's carefree way of speaking.
"No. We were just checking out some CDs. Are you with Umi?" Fujima smiled.
"Yeah, I'm with her. I don't believe that you two are not on a date with pretty girls. I mean. I know that many female fans chase after you two. And I can't believe that you hadn't chosen any from them yet." She smirked.
"Believe it or not, we're not on a date with anyone yet. Besides, we don't need distractions as of now." Hanagata couldn't help but smile broadly at Rukz.
"What are you doing here?" Umi suddenly appeared and looked at Fujima.
"Hey. You're not the only one allowed to go into a CD shop." Fujima rolled his eyeballs.
"Whatever! Let's go Rukz! Why are you even talking to Kenji?" Umi grabbed Rukz's arms and pulled her away.
"Er. Bye I guess. See ya." Rukz waved as she was being pulled away.
"Hey! Why are you talking to him?" Umi looked at her with sharp eyes.
"He's your brother that's why. Are you two in a fight or something again?"
"Fight? I totally hate him!"
"Why?"
"He scared my crush away! He talked to him and told him to be careful with me or else."
"So? I think he's just trying to protect you. You shouldn't be too hard on Ji-chan. after all he's still your brother."
"Whatever, Rukz."
Fujima and Hanagata smiled as Rukz waved and was finally forced by Umi to look away from them.
"If only she wasn't Maki's little sister. If only she wasn't my sister's best friend. If only she was a year older."
"Hey. Maybe you should just look for someone who's like her. Maki will have your head if you make a move on her. But you know, she's so different. So I don't know. Magnetic or something?" Hanagata sighed.
"I like her as a sister. She's more of a sister than a girlfriend." Fujima smiled. "Besides, I was only kidding. I don't want to risk having a fight with Maki outside the court, too."
Their eyes followed Miyuki and Rukz. They saw a guy giving Rukz a CD and looking as if he's in a trance. Rukz accepted the CD and began looking at the songs listed and walked away with Umi. Fujima and Hanagata saw the guy's friend poke him and scold him.
"Why did you give that CD to her? That's the last copy!"
"Huh?" The guy who gave the CD to Rukz answered and was still in a trance.
Fujima laughed and Hanagata only smiled and shook his head.
"Hey! This CD is cool. I think I'll buy this with this Queen CD. Good thing that guy handed me this."
"You're so hopeless. He was trying to make you notice him." Umi shook her head at Rukz who was now on the counter and paying for the now two CDs.
After buying some CDs, Rukz was already hungry and pleaded that they eat. The two girls just shook their head and followed Rukz into McDonalds.
"Since you two are so nice as to eat out of your schedules because of me. I'll treat. So what will you have?" Rukz sat down at the opposite of Miyuki while Umi sat beside Rukz.
"I'll have regular fries and regular iced tea."
"I think I'll have what Miyu ordered." Umi answered flatly.
"Okay." Rukz stood up and went to line near the counter. When her turn came, she smiled at the girl behind the counter and started her order.
"I'll have 2 regular fries and 2 regular iced tea. I'll also have one spaghetti, one apple pie, one McFlurry with Oreo and a large Coke, please. And could you put them all on a single tray. Thanks." She then paid the cashier. "You may keep the change."
"I'm sorry ma'am but we're not allowed to do that."
"Oh yeah. I forgot." Rukz said with a smile.
When her order was already on the tray, she looked at the girl behind the counter and smiled before leaving with her order.
"Excuse me guys. I have to do something."
"Where are you going, Sendoh?" Koshino looked at him with a puzzled look.
"I'm going over to her." Sendoh said pointing to a girl leaving the counter with a tray full of food.
"Come on. Keep your butt on your seat." Koshino shook his head and Fukuda just nodded his agreement.
Sendoh just smiled at his two friends and sauntered towards the girl with a tray full of food.
"Can I help you with that?" Sendoh said with a charming smile on his face.
Rukz looked up and stopped walking.
"Oh. It's you again. You were that guy who came to my rescue this morning." Rukz said flatly.
"So you remembered." He said with a wide grin.
"Of course. You're the only person I've seen with that kind of hairstyle - spiky."
Sendoh's smile reached up to his eyes. This girl was so frank to him and didn't even fall for his charming smiles.
"So, can I help you with that?"
"Yes you can but you may not. Thanks anyway." She said.
Sendoh couldn't believe his ears. This girl was actually letting his offer down and to top it all, she had actually made fun of him with his own words.
"Why not?" He said with a trail of disbelief in his voice.
"Because I already bothered you enough a while ago. I mean you had to catch me instead of proceeding with your walk or something. I don't want to bother you more by making you carry this tray for me."
"I will be really bothered if you don't let me carry that for you." He smiled at her with his charming smile.
She looked at him as if thinking of what he just said and finally handed Sendoh the tray.
"So. Who are you with?" He was trying hard to keep pace with her.
"Huh? Oh. I'm with my friends." Rukz said and continued to walk.
"I see. Girls?"
"Yeah. I don't usually go out with certain boys."
"Oh I see."
"Okay. Thanks. I'll carry the tray from here."
"What? We're not yet beside a table or something." Sendoh muttered confusedly.
"Those are my friends." She pointed to a nearby table. "If my friends see you with me, well, they'll never stop their teasing. They'll probably say that some unfortunate guy fell for me. I don't want you to be teased, too."
"What do you mean unfortunate guy. You're quite."
"You don't have to be nice. It's alright. Just look at me. I don't even look attractive and I don't even dress up the way a girl is expected to dress up. Anyway, thanks a lot for your help." She took the tray gently and smiled at him before walking away.
"You're welcome, er-" Sendoh called out.
"My name's Haruka." She looked back with an easy smile before sauntering towards her friends.
Sendoh went back to his friends.
"So how did it go?" Koshino asked not being able to shrug his curiosity. "I saw her not smiling at you at first. Snobbish?"
"Not exactly. Well, you must be wondering why I wanted to help her out so bad. I met her earlier this morning. She was skating and she stumbled on a crack. She was about to fall so I caught her arms to prevent her from hitting the ground. She just thanked me and then skated away. I was a bit puzzled at her. She was so."
"Different?" Fukuda suddenly said.
"Yeah. Sort of. She was wearing her roller blades, jogging pants, huge and loose T-shirt, her hair was in a pony tail and she wore a cap with its front at her head's back. So when I saw her a while ago. I couldn't help but go to her to try and talk to her."
"And how did it go?" Koshino raised a brow at Sendoh.
"I don't know if it was okay. It seems as if she was trying to push me away with her frankness. She didn't even fall for the smiles that I've been giving her. She ignored my offer to help her with her tray at first and she even made fun of me by using and playing with my own words."
"Really?" Fukuda suddenly became very interested.
"Yeah. I asked her the second time if I can help her with her tray. Then she told me 'Yes you can but you may not'. I had to convince her to make her give her tray to me. She didn't even let me walk her to her table."
"Wow. She's quite different. Unique. I mean that was the first time that a girl actually did that to you. This is a news flash. Akira Sendoh's charm was ignored by a girl. WOW!" Koshino was smiling broadly.
Sendoh looked back and saw Haruka laughing with her friends in a far off table.
"She has quite an appetite. Most girls I know don't eat that much." Sendoh muttered softly.

Author's Note: Thank you to all those who reviewed. Thank you so much. Anyway, the others are still pending because I'm still not sure where to cut. And even if I cut, I'm not sure if it's too long or two short. But anyway, the story is finished a long time ago. My only problem is dissecting it to chapters. It's too long to read in one sitting.
My Answers to the Reviewers:
i'm just lost I guess you wouldn't have to read. You've finished the entire thing.
reviewer Thanks again for the suggestion.
fire-phinx Ohoho. So you've also read Dunked Confession. Well, enjoy reading them.
Jo-sen7 I'm sorry to dissect but it was just too long to be read in one sitting. Believe me. It took me almost a month to realize that because when I tried to check it to see what reviewer meant, I ended up canceling it because I was too impatient to wait for it all to be loaded.
bLaCkheARt Don't worry. You really are going to read more because this thing is a long one.
