Candy: Oh, dear. Here I am, destined to type again. We've just bought our school materials. And I'm tired. It's not that I'm tired, tired. I mean, (umm… excuse me…) I'm going to puke! It's raining here and it's really hot. Well, not really hot, somewhat hot. Okay, that's all.

Chapter fifteen: Ready, steady, PROM!
Kyande went out of the bathroom with her hands on her face. She wasn't crying. She didn't care about Shigan now that she knew that she's a big fake. She doesn't deserve to be treated nice by me at all! She thought. But then again, Sendoh wants kind girls. So, I think I'll forgive her once she says sorry. When she looked up, Sendoh was there. With the girl she saw Sendoh's kissing last night. Sendoh gave her a worried look.
"Hey, are you alright?" He asked.
Sendoh! You big jerk!!!
"Yes, I am alright." She said and gave both of them a smile. Darn you!!! You're the jerkiest jerk I've ever known, Sendoh! Tell me who that girl is! "Sendoh, you haven't introduce Rei… ah… your friend here before." She looked down and started to massage her hands.
"She's…" Before he could introduce Reina to Kyande, Reina dragged Sendoh to the dance floor. "Kyande, we'll be right back." Sendoh said, struggling to say that to Kyande. Reina was dancing while Sendoh was trying to catch up with Reina.
Sigh Of course. Why would I be jealous? I know it's because I like him. But, it's not like I should be mad at him for not telling that. But… it's just that, he should've at least told me that he already belonged to someone else. Well, Reina's awfully beautiful. I think she's even terribly perfect. Maybe that's why Sendoh loved her.
She went out of the room and went to the place again where there's no one but her. It would be dangerous if she goes to where Mitsui confessed. She sat there, thinking, and enjoying the sight of the moon, the breeze and the coldness that even made her shiver.
Like, duh! I'm a tomboyish, childish, selfish, and ugly and… wait, Megumi told me not to tell that. Okay, I'm not ugly, that might even be true.
"Ugh." She said and touched her forehead. "I'm so pretty... Okay, I suck." Then she concentrated again. She was really caught by the moonlight that she forgot the time and she forgot to meet Sendoh back. When she looked at her wrist watch, it was already ten. She went to the hotel and called Kaede again. While both of them were talking, making fun of each other, Kyande went outside and looked at the moon again.
"Kaede, can you see the moon?" She asked.
"Yes, but I have no intention to look at it for more than ten minutes like what you forced me to do years ago."
"Kaede, it was only last month. Not years ago."
Kyande laughed. She said 'bye-bye' to her little brother and slept.
The very next day, she woke up early, excited to go home and hug her little brother again. She woke Megumi up so that they could go to the airport early and they could take some good seats. The bus wasn't crowded yet, but some are already there. Megumi was in the middle of Mitsui and Kyande. Megumi began to be irritated because this isn't what she planned. She should be jealous with Mitsui and her by now. But she's not. She was so mad that she almost popped up inside the bus.
"Okay…" She said calming down. "Did I miss something?" She asked Kyande and Mitsui.
"What did you miss?" Mitsui asked her back.
"Mitsui, I was asking you if I did miss something… between you two!"
Mitsui and Kyande looked at each other. Kyande's eyebrows rose, giving a sign to Mitsui. But Mitsui was asking her too. So, they both don't know. Megumi looked at Kyande. Kyande looked at Megumi because she might suspect something.
"W-What makes you think about missing something?" She asked.
"Yeah, what's bothering you?" Mitsui asked her too.
"It's just that, you two aren't talking to each other! That's not what I planned!" Megumi yelled at her self, not looking on the both of them. Kyande and Mitsui again looked at each other.
"Planned? What did you planned? You didn't tell us about your 'plan'." Mitsui asked Megumi whose eyes were closed.
"Okay, first of all, I would like to say sorry to Kyande, I tricked you. I want you to be jealous to me because I'm close to Mitsui always! And I want to say sorry too because I planned for this. That's all." Megumi dropped her hands to her lap.
Mitsui and Kyande laughed so hard that the other students looked at them. A tear fell right out of Kyande's eye. Mitsui barely breathe because of her joke, as he thought.
"Hahahaha! Oh, Megumi, what a plan! Why would I be jealous! You're a planner, aren't you!!!?" Kyande again laughed.
"Yeah… HAHAHAHA!! I… I!! Hahaha! I'm so speechless! Your plan is so stupid!!!" Mitsui said, pointing at Megumi.
That's a relief. But, wait. I'm not supposed to be relieved. Now that I know I'm relieved, I have to find out that I'm relieved for nothing. Or… something I just don't know what. Kyande said to her self.
"Okay, now that you know I'm a 'good' planner, you can stop laughing anytime now!" Megumi yelled at both of them with embarrassment. The people around them were also laughing. She blushed even more when she saw Sendoh looking at Kyande who was laughing. Sendoh was also smiling. She didn't care about Sendoh looking at Kyande. But she cared about Sendoh's heavenly smile. God, I wish that I'm Kyande. She told her self. But she thought that, maybe if she just be her self, Sendoh might be in love with her too. Nah. Why does Sendoh like Kyande? Kyande's not that brave, anyway. I can do whatever she can do. I'm smart, I'm prettier than her, I'm tall and I'm a little bit tomboyish! What else is there to get? She told her self. Sendoh sat beside Kyande.
"Hey, you're already laughing. Where were you last night?" Sendoh asked.
"Oh… sorry I didn't come back. I slept early. I talked to Kaede and gave my self a good night sleep. It was very relaxing, you know." She told Sendoh.
The airport's getting close. Megumi was silent, sleeping at Sendoh's shoulder. Kyande seemed so happy while Sendoh's arms are around Kyande. While she was looking at Kyande who was sleeping, something came on her mind.
"Mitsui, would you mind exchanging seats with Sendoh?" She asked Mitsui.
"Why would I do that?" Mitsui asked while he was trying so hard to open up a bag of chips.
"Just do it!!!!!!" Megumi ordered Mitsui. Then, he stood up.
Sendoh looked at Mitsui when he was standing in front of him. Mitsui looked at Sendoh with his eyes blazing. He hated the way his hands travel on Kyande's head. He even looked madder at Sendoh. Sendoh was smiling while his hands stroked Kyande's hair. Sendoh's smile was full of happiness to see that he's winning over Kyande's heart.
"Will you just get your butt out of that seat and replace my space?!" Mitsui said with full of anger for Sendoh.
"Why?"
"Because Kyande's bestest best friend told us to." Mitsui said, with happiness that he told that too.
Sendoh gave Mitsui a look, then he stood up, holding Kyande's head. As soon as Mitsui sat down, he placed Kyande's head on Mitsui's shoulders. Mitsui's heart sunk. Did he really do that? What happened? Maybe he wasn't feeling well! His heart sunk more when he felt Kyande's warmness. They were very close to each other. He didn't place his arms around Kyande, but he tried. He just can't do the way Sendoh can. With his full determination to beat Sendoh with this game, he wrapped his arms around Kyande with all his might. But when he was about to enjoy the bliss that he felt while his arms are around Kyande, the bus stopped.
Shoot!
Then Mitsui drew his arms away on Kyande. I ruined my chance!
He woke Kyande up with disappointment because he had to. They were in the airport already. The time seemed so short. But it wasn't, actually. Only between them.
^ @ * ^
When they reached Shohoku, every one of them felt so down.
"Argh! Tommorow's a day of torture again!!!!!!" Mitsui said. But I'm so happy that the Ryonan students finally went away from our lives!!
"School day's so nice." Megumi said.
"Oh no." Kyande said when she saw Shigan coming closer to them. What does she want now? OH… right. I haven't told her that I knew what she was planning. Am I smart or what?!
"Hey, Kyande." Shigan greeted Kyande with her hand waving.
"Don't even get two inches close to me, Shigan!" She yelled at Shigan. Mitsui and Megumi looked at Kyande. WAY TO GO! Megumi told her self.
"What?! I'm your friend, remember!" She reminded Kyande.
"No. We were bestfriends. You think I didn't hear what you were talking on the restroom before? Well, I'm SORRR-RRY. I did hear that. I'm not a real friend to you, am I?"
"Oh, so you did hear that." She looked at her back, Sakura and the others were standing there.
"Yeah, I did. Sakura tried to warn you, but you didn't listen. You're gonna pay!" Oh no! I'm being tomboyish again! What did I say? I'm so dead!
"Well, I have no intention to 'pay' you. I have no intention to make you pay, either. But we'll see about that. Bye!" She told Kyande. But she didn't say 'good bye' to Kyande or Megumi. But to Mitsui. Yuck. She even gave me a flying kiss! Mitsui thought.
"Okay! I'm going home now! I have to say hello to my little brother. Bye!" Kyande waved at Megumi. And… maybe to Mitsui too. Mitsui waved good bye to her too, but he just waved his hands. He didn't speak.
The next day, was school day. And surprisingly, at the end of the day, Megumi was quiet.
"I noticed you're a little bit sad today, Megumi. Is there something wrong?" Kyande asked her friend.
"No, I'm not lonely. It's just… I have something in mind I just don't… OH… MY GOD!"
"What?"
"Kyande! Kyande! Ooh! Kyande, Kyande, Kyande! What date is it today?" Megumi asked as her hands danced with Kyande's.
"Let me see… it's… February twelve today, isn't it?"
"YES!"
"Why? What's with you?"
"Look, right after tomorrow, its PROM NIGHT!"
"Oh? And… why're you so happy? Me last prom was a disaster! I had to go to the doctor just to fade the pain my appetite gave me!"
"AHHH!!!! It's prom! It's prom! YEAH! Kyande, tomorrow, we'll cut classes!"
"Why would we do that?"
"Because, I'm going to give you a treatment!"
"I won't cut classes! We're going to finish early tomorrow. Maybe because of the prom. So, why cut classes?"
"Okay, so we won't. But, you'll come over to my house, right?!"
"Sure, why not?"
"YESSSS!"
The next day, the three of them went to Megumi's house again. Even Mitsui got a treatment. And he hated it. But Kyande hated it more. Well, except for the massage Megumi's mother gave them. And the two of them looked so refreshed. Megumi didn't actually have to have that; her body always looks so refreshed.
And, at last. It was already the prom night. Megumi gave Kyande a make up. They went too early to the prom. But so many people were already there.
"You look great, Kyande." Sendoh told Kyande in the table.
"Thanks…" Kyande blushed.
"It'll be better if you just shut up, Sendoh." Mitsui said.
"Mitsui, you're the one who's supposed to shut up!" Megumi yelled at Megumi.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Due to an unexpected 'earliness', we finally decided to start now!" The principal said. Everybody clapped their hands.
