A/N: because I had so many reviews, I decide to update!!! But then, I had
to do my Physics/Chemistry homework. Really annoying little things,
right???? Plus I have this big test tomorrow that I don't really care
about, BUT still, I have to do fine cause the teacher is nice and I don't
want to make him angry at me even if it's not my fault if I don't
understand anything!!! You guys don't care do you??? I'm starting to sound
like my Spanish teacher, help!!!!!!! Anyways, here is chapter 5, is that
it??? ^_^
I was still running in the hallways, as fast as I could. The problem is that I'm not really good at running. But, there had to be a but. I couldn't stop, that was the but. I turned really sharp at a corner, so sharp that I fell against the opposite wall. Trying to get back to my senses, a strong grip caught my wrist and dragged me in a classroom, closing the door behind us.
I sat down on the floor, still a little shacked by the 'screaming-Ryo-fans- that-want-to-hurt-me-because-I-messed-up-his-face-two-days-in-a-row' thing. Someone sat beside me and I juts knew who it was, I'm a psychic, remember?
"Thanks," I said, turning my face to Ryo. But it wasn't Ryo. Note to self: never think you have psychic powers again and slap yourself if you ever do.
"You're welcome sweetheart," said Kazu, moving dangerously closer to my face. I quickly got up and looked at him with a disgusted expression.
"Listen Kazu, you're my friend, and that's it so now back off, I don't want to go out with you, get it?"
Didn't seem like it.
He got up and stared into my eyes with a seductive smile on his face.
"But how could you resist my charms?" he said, moving closer - again.
"I wonder why! But still, I don't want to be your girlfriend and back off 'cause I don't want to hit you again," I said. Actually, I was dying to, but I couldn't tell him that. I hated him so much for breaking our friendship like that. We used to always argue with each other and I saw him as a friend, but when we turned 14, he became 'lover boy' and started chasing girl around, especially me. Then I wondered, why me???? So unfair.
I walked up to the door and opening. I'd rather face hordes of girls that a friend that has a stupid and meaningless crush on me. I walked in the hallway and I stopped dead in my tracks. They were all looking at me like if I was a giant bowl of their favorite ice cream.
'Maybe I should have stayed in the class room,' I thought before taking a step backwards. But then I stopped again. 'I had to face them one day or another, why not now?' I thought. Then a little voice in my head answered my question: 'Why not now? Because you want to live older then that!' 'Shut up'.
Their leader, a blonde, blue-eyed girl that swung her hips as much as she could when she walked, walked and stopped in front of me. 'Talk about natural' I thought, looking closer at her face. She had tones of make-up on and I could smell her perfume from 5 meters away (Sorry about the meters but I really don't get the American metric system!!!! ^_^ ).
"So, you are the little brat?"
"Excuse me?" I said, trying to sound innocent when all I wanted to do was to kick her.
"You are the one that voluntarily kicked and punched Ryo Akiyama's face?"
"You got a problem with that???" I said angrily.
"Yes, you are just a poor little sewer rat and you don't even deserve to stand close to the great Ryo Akiyama!" she said, putting her hair behind her shoulder with one swift movement.
"BAWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"
I couldn't help it; I really couldn't contain myself anymore. It *WAS* pretty funny. Look at the picture: me, your typical high school girl, a little icy sometimes, but still, in front of a Britney Spears wannabe, with behind her other girls as much of a slut as she was, telling *ME*, Ruki Makino, to stay away from the most annoying guy in school.
They all were looking at me like if I was insane, but I didn't care, *I* was having fun. After what looked like a half hour, I stopped laughing.
"Listen, bitch, I am not the one that is glued to Ryo all day, *HE* is the one that keeps getting in my way, get it???"
"Why would he?"
"I don't know, because I'm not *YOU*????' I said angrily. And before she could answer me, I heard some loud clapping behind me. I turned around and smiled as I saw Jen, Jeri, Takato, Kenta, and even Kazu clapping.
"You go girl, let's go, you don't have to waist your time with those. creatures" Jeri said as she came closer to me and put an arm around mine. I smiled at her and we walked away from a puzzled group of girls.

I was in the kitchen, almost my whole body inside the refrigerator, trying to reach the last piece of chocolate cake that my mom had hidden in the far away corner. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. I didn't make any movement to go answer it, thinking my mom or grandma would. Then I remembered they were out of town for the rest of the week.
'Great' I thought. I struggle out of the fridge and then ran to the door, opening it, half frozen half out of breath.
"*YOU*," I said, my eyes widening.
Ryo was standing in front of me, an apologizing expression on his face.
"Ruki, before you say you never want to see me again, I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry about what happened and I should have never done that," he said, really quickly, bowing his head and looking intensely at his feet.
I opened my mouth to yell at him but I was stopped by the way he was staring as he was looking at his feet, his head bowed as if he was kid that couldn't face is parents when he did something he wasn't supposed to. He sounded very sorry. 'Kick him' 'No' 'Punch him' 'Sounds more like it'. But then I couldn't. I just opened the door wider and said:
"Wanna come in?"
He looked at me like I was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. I blushed slightly: it wasn't every day that a cute guy like that would look at you that way. Then he put on that smile that characterized him so well.
"Sure"
"Don't get any ideas, I just need help to get that piece of cake out of the fridge."
"You need my help for what???"
"My mom hid the last piece of cake at the far away corner of the fridge, behind all sorts of things so I wouldn't be able to see it, because she went out of town for a photo shout with my grandma and she wanted to keep it for herself. How selfish is that???" I said.
Ryo smiled as I opened the door of the fridge and he leaned into it.
'Man, he has a cute butt' I thought. Then I mentally slapped myself and blushed to a bright red at that thought.
"I got it!!!!" he said, sounding triumphal. He got out a huge piece of chocolate cake.
"You can put it on the living room table, I'll go get spoons"
"So I get to have a piece?"
"Run to the table before I change my mind," I said, smirking.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Living room
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So," I started, digging my spoon into the cake, "how do you handle them every day?"
"Who?"
"Your fans, stupid."
"Oh. Well, I run," he said with a weak smile.
"Wise choice" I said, smiling too. "But you know, maybe you should tell them once and for all you're tired of it"
"And how do I do that??? If I stopped, I don't even want to think about what they could do to me"
"You don't think you're *THAT* desirable, or do you?" I said, with a smirk.
"I dunno, am I?" he asked with a smile.
I blushed even more then after the 'butt incident'.
"Don't be full of yourself, Akiyama"
"That's what I thought," he said, smiling again. "Well, I better get going, Ruki, thanks for the cake"
I kept staring at the door, even after 20 minutes that he had passed through it.
'What did he mean by that??'
Just a day,
Just an ordinary day.
Just tryin to get by.
Just a boy,
Just an ordinary boy.
But he was looking to the sky.
And as he asked if I would come along
I started to realize-
That everyday you find
Just what he's looking for,
Like a shooting star he shines.
He said take my hand,
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams right in the palm of your hand?
And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words
Although they did not feel
For I felt what I had not felt before
You'd swear those words could heal.
And as I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows mine.
And to know he's no stranger,
For I feel I've held him for all of time.
And he said take my hand,
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams right in the palm of your hand
in the pal of your hand.
Please come with me,
See what I see.
Touch the stars for time will not flee.
Time will not flee.
And you must be
Just a dream, just an ordinary dream.
As I wake in bed
And the boy, that boy, that ordinary boy.
Or was it all in my head?
Did he asked if I would come along
It all seemed so real.
But as I looked to the door,
I saw that boy standing there with a deal.
And he said he my take my hand,
Live while you can,
Don't you see your dreams right in the palm of your hand
right in the palm of your hand,
right in the palm of your hand.
Just a day, just an ordinary day
Jus tryin to get by.
Just a boy,
Just an ordinary boy.
But he was looking to the sky.
