~ Chapter Two ~

*x* Febuary 8 *x*

I woke up today and my mom was not home yet. I opened the fidge and found that there was nothing! NOTHING! I went back into my bedroom and put on my normal clothing: purple skirt, purple hat, purple vest... I went to the super market where was near my house. I bought so many foods and daily equipment. They were very heavy that I walked as slow as a turtle. Suddenly, my cellphone rang. I looked at it and a thing poped out in the screen. It was a message, a short message from Unknown Caller. " I think you need help! " I thought to myself: I really need help. Then, someone grabbed some of my bags. I saw Yumiko. "Izumi hello! Do you miss me? " "Quit paying, Yumiko! I thought the message was from someone else!" Yumiko smiled at me and told me that the message was from someone else. " It was from Kouji. I forgot to bring my cellphone so I borrowed his. You have his number now, Izumi." I blushed slightly and asked her how did she get Kouji's cellphone. " Izumi, my parents and his parents are friends so that I went to his house today." I was enlightened. After we arrived at my house, Yumiko handed back my bags and she was gone. I went into my house and noticed my mom was already home. She grabbed my bags and cooked our lunch. I took out my cellphone after I went back into my bedroom. I saved Kouji's cell number and I wrote it down in my diary.

*x* Febuary 10 *x*

" Good morning Izumi. We need to go to our homeroom today!" Yumiko told me as soon as I arrived at school. She said there was a special activity for us. That was called " Know more people around you pragram." Each girl will pick a ticket with their eyes close and whoever picked a ticket that is red needs to go out with a boy who picked a red ticket. I looked at mine and it was not red. What a relief! " Ahhh... I can't believe you got a red one! " I turned and looked at Yumiko. " You have the red one Yu? This is great!" Yumiko gave out a small sigh. " Izumi, what if someone ugly picked it? The rule of this activity is be stay with your partner from 9 am to 7 pm! 10 hours! Very long!" I didn't know how to comfort her. I walked near to the window without anyone's notice and tried to see who picked the red one. I watched for few second and I saw who got it. Kouji got it! I was very happy to see that Kouji would be with Yumiko and not other girls. Suddenly, a glass breaking sound came behind me. Yumiko was slipped and twisted her ankle. So did the the glass jar. "Yu, you okay?" She was crying on the floor and every student was comforting her. " I am sorry Mrs. Nagano. I broke your favorite jar." Yumiko apologized with tears in ther eyes. " It's right now, sweetie. You want to go to the medical room?" Yumiko nodded. Then Mrs. Nagano ordered me to bring Yumiko to the room.

*x* Medical Room *x*

" Hey, Izumi. I won't be able to go out with whoever tomorrow. I want you to go for me." I was in shocked. I looked at her and I blushed slightly. " What's the matter? Why you are all red?" I told Yumiko why and she said it was good that she was hurt. I gave out a small sigh and I walked out of the medical room.

*x* Band room *x*

Yumiko and I walked into the band room. Everyone was asking about Yumiko's injury; everyone cared about her. As Mr. Kanzaki walked into the room, everyone was slient. Yumko giggled softly and then everyone started giggle with her, especially boys. I ignored all the giggling in the band room and I looked at Kouji who sat beside the person across from me instead. He was playing the strings on his guiter quietly. I looked at him for almost a minute and he finally noticed me. I blushed like cherry and I turned away from him quickly. After the band class, when I was walking out of the classroom, Kouji grabbed me. He waited till everyone in the class is gone and he started talking. He asked me why did I stare at him during the band class. I wasn't able to answer him. Luckily, Yumiko showed up and the rescued me from Kouji.

*x* After school *x*

I always walked home alone because Yumiko had someone to drive her back home every single day. As I walked across the bridge, I saw Kouji walking on the walkway on below. I noticed that he was near to a small pond which was on the driveway. Then, I started a thing that I never did in my life before. I messaged him throught the cellphone. "Your body will be wash up soon! " He looked around and he didn't notice he was standing right beside the small pond. ~* SpLaSh *~ He was all wet. I laughed quietly on the bridge while he was wipping the water away from his clothing. I walked back to my home and went up stairs quickly. I messaged him again. "You see now?" I looked at my cellphone for so long but he didn't reply anything. I felt depressed. Suddenly, my cellphone rang. I pressed the botton, answer, immediately. I thought it was Kouji but it was not. It was Yumiko. She reminded me that I would have to go out with someone tomorrow starting nine o'clock. I nodded and both of us hung up at the same time. I forgot about the activity before Yumiko phoned me. I rushed to my closet and took out some clothes that looked nice. At last, I chose a set of clothes that looked similar to my usual clothes: a skirt, hat, vest... but something looked differnet, the colour. My usual clothes are purple but this time I picked blue, a dark blue. I put on this set and I tied two pigtails. I looked into mirror and figured out I looked that beautiful. Suddenly, dinner is ready. I walked downtairs and she noticed that I was differnet. I told her everything about the activity. She told me to take care of myself tomorrow. Then, i had a phone call school. It was about tomorrow thing. The teacher told me to wait for the person at the temple at 9:00. The main thing is, we could not come back to school or home until seven or else our names would be written on the non- participate students list.....
