"Ey Sendoh! I have some info. about Anica." Miyagi said when he saw Sendoh enter their room.

"You always try to get info. about her, it's like she's a total mystery girl."

"She is, right? You said so yourself."

"Okay, okay.. What is the *new found* info?"

"In our games back in high school, did you see a Rukawa cheering gang?"

"Oh! The girls in cheer dancing uniform?"

"Yeah!!.. Anica and Cori were a PROUD part of that"

"How'd you know?"

"Cori called me yesterday, and we chatted a little"

"I thought that it was just bad hearing her voice in the-"

"Okay, shhhh! Aya-chan's coming"

"Hi Aya-chan!" Miyagi greeted.

"Hi Miyagi!" Ayako greeted. "Hi Sendoh!"

"Hi Ayako!" Sendoh greeted.

"I have something to do so I'll go now, see you in practice!" Ayako waved.

"So, Ayako doesn't know Cori called?" Sendoh asked when Ayako was gone.

"Of course not!"

"You didn't talk to Ayako on the phone yesterday?"

"Nah!.. She doesn't call that much anymore"

"Obviously, Miyagi, you should call, not girls calling boys!"

"What generation are you, Sendoh? Girls call boys now"

"Wow! You really are a *love boy*"

"Whatever!.. But there's more!!"

"Tell me before Mr. Kazaki arrives"

"Okay, yesterday, while I'm on the phone with Cori, Cori asked me if I got other crushes, other than Aya-chan, and I said Yes."

"Why? Do you?"

"No! Of course not! I'm just joking her, but now, she'll call me everyday to know who the girl is!"

"Oh no! You're dead meat if Ayako knew that Cori will call you everyday now"

"Maybe, I'll just lie, I'll tell her it's Yui: she's pretty"

"Yeah, but what if Cori told Ayako that you have a crush on Yui?"

"Well, change of plans!"

Their voices were in whispers already because they saw Cori's gang looking at them.

"What if, you just tell Cori that you're lying when you said you have a crush other than Ayako?"

"She won't believe me, Sendoh"

"Then just avoid her!"

"How?"

"When the phone rings, tell your maid to answer it and tell Cori that you're not available!"

"We don't have a maid now, I'm alone at home until 9"

"Well, then deal with it!"

@--,--___--,--@

"You heard that?" Cori asked her gang.

"I didn't hear the end because they're whispering already" Yui said.

"But I heard Miyagi said that Ayako doesn't call much anymore!" Cori said. "They may be breaking up already!"

"What is it to you?" Ayumi, one of her friends asked. "What do you care?"

"Oh! I haven't told you my latest news!" Cori said excitedly. "I'm in love with Miyagi"

"What?!?" Cori's friends shouted in unison. "Why?!?, How?!?!"

"I called him yesterday and we chatted a little and I sort of fell in love with him"

"But I thought you're in love with Sendoh?" Yui whispered.

"People can change you know?" Cori answered.

"But, Sendoh's way cuter!" Ayumi said.

"That's true but you shouldn't just look at one's physical characteristics, you should look deep within!"

"You're getting mushy gal!" Ayumi said.

"Okay, okay, what's your plan on getting him?" Yui asked.

"Besides calling him everyday, I'll make Ayako break up with him and I'll be there to comfort him!"

"But what are you going to tell Ayako?" Miaka, another friend of hers, asked.

"I'll make her overhear our conversation about me and Miyagi, talking everyday!"

They giggled in delight of Cori's plan.

"But, when are you going to let her overhear?" Miaka asked.

"Hmm. Maybe after a few calls, maybe tomorrow!" Cori said.

[laughs] "You're desperate!" Yui said.

"I'm desperate to get a boy friend" Cori said, glaring at Miyagi who's talking to Sendoh.

"Sendoh, excuse me" Yoshi said, interrupting Miyagi and Snedoh's conversation.

"Oh Yoshi!.. Why?" Sendoh said.

"Can we work on our project on Saturday at 2?" Yoshi asked.

I have a date at 4, I think it will only take an hour to research, he thought.

"Okay! Sure!" Sendoh said.

"I still have a date at 4 on Saturday" Sendoh told Miyagi.

"Again?" Miyagi asked.

"Yeah! I'm taking as many dates as possible now coz Basketball competitions are drawing nearer and my schedule will be busy at that time"

"Oh Yeah! That's right! Good thing Aya-chan is the manager of the team, I wouldn't have to worry on seeing her and oh! There's another thing Cori told me"

"What is it?"

"Will you believe that Rukawa signed an autograph for Anica and they talked for awhile?"

"Really?!?! That's not the Rukawa I know!!"

"How'd you think that happened?"

"I really don't know!"

@--,--___--,--@

*ring* *ring* *ring*

"Oh sh*t!!.. That's Cori!" an eating Miyagi said.

"Hello?" he answered.

"Hello.. May I speak with Ryota please?" a girl's voice said.

"This is Ryota, who's this?"

As if I don't know!, he thought.

"Miyagiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" an excited voice shouted. "This is Coriii!!!!!"

"Oh, hi Cori! How's our project?"

"I haven't work on it yet, maybe you should come over and research together" Cori said seductively. "I shouldn't do the work alone, you know?"

"You're right, maybe I'll come over on Saturday at 2"

Yes!!!!, Cori thought.

"Okay, now, the reason I called is to know who your other crush is?"

Maybe I should take Sendoh's advice, Miyagi thought.

"I was just lying when I told you there's another one, I have eyes only for Aya-chan!"

Ugh! That ugly girl?, she wanted to say.

"I don't believe you" Cori said, not giving-up

"Why?"

"Because.. There are so many beautiful girls in school"

Like me for example, she thought.

"Well, I like Aya-chan for who she is"

"What? *The not calling girlfriend*?"

"How'd you know about that?"

"I heard you say it"

"Is it okay, if I call her? She hasn't called me for quite some time"

"I don't know! Maybe she isn't calling you because she doesn't want to talk to you"

Maybe Cori's right, she's always saying that she has to go whenever we meet at school, he thought.

"It's late already, I have something else to do" Miyagi said after a few seconds silence.

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow!"

I bet he's thinking about breaking up with Ayako, Cori thought happily.
