~The next morning~
Hikari was running up the stairs to the bus stop again. She looked to the side and watched the bus leaving. She ran in the middle of the road and put her arms out. She shut her eyes tight and yelled, "Stop!"
And the bus came to an abrupt halt.
She opened her eyes and yelled "Yes!" and ran onto the bus. "Thank you very much." She told the driver.
The bus driver stared at her. "Do you have a death wish or something?"
Everybody stared at her as she passed. She stood in the center and looked back and saw Takeru sitting in the very last seat in the very last row. She stared for a second then looked away.
He stared at her too for a second then looked out the window.
She stole a little glance again and then looked out.
~Later~
The bus cam to a stop and Takeru got up to leave. He looked to the side and saw Hikari sleeping and snickered. He got off the bus and knocked on the window she was leaning against.
She woke up and saw there were no more school kids and then jumped up. "Stop the bus!" She yelled.
The bus came to a stop and she yelled, "Thank you." Before running out of the bus and to the school. Most of the kids were running but Takeru wasn't. She came to a halt just around the corner of the school and peeked around the corner to see Mr. Tough yelling at two guys.
Just as Takeru was going to go around the corner, Hikari pulled him to the side. "Mr. Tough." She whispered. Then instructed him to come her way.
They snuck to the back of the school.
Meanwhile, Mr. Tough was yelling. "You call these shoes?" All the other kids were snickering.
Hikari stood on her tipy toes and looked to see if anybody was there. She didn't see anybody. She grabbed Takeru quickly and pulled him. "Get on your knees. I'll help pull you up afterwards." "Come on we have to work each other so it's a win-win situation." "Hurry."
He got on his knees and she got up, "Don't look up!" She said.
"I can't, you're too heavy." He said.
She got up and he helped her. Then she said, "Come on up." He gave her her stuff and she put out her hand. "I'll help you come on."
He looked at it then looked away. He threw his back over and jumped over.
She stared at him. He then put out his arms to catch her when she jumped down. She looked at his hands and looked away.
He said, "You said we should help each other."
"Forgot it."
"Really?" He said and he picked up his stuff and started leaving.
She looked down and knew that there was no way she could get down. After a few seconds of wondering, she yelled, "Hey! Takeru Takaishi!"
He looked back and stared at her. She gave him a little signal to come over there.
He had a slight grin on his face then walked over to her. He saw her trying to put her shoes on and took them from her. Then he put it on her feet.
She looked down at him. When he was done, he put out his arms to catch her. She jumped off and grabbed onto him. She pushed him away quickly.
"We have a broadcast during lunch." She said, blocking the sun from her eyes. She started walking away quickly and said, "So don't be late."
"Hikari Yagami!" He yelled.
She turned back.
"You're zippers open."
She blinked and looked down, then realized she was wearing a skirt.
"I meant your backpack zipper."
She looked back with an annoyed look on her face. "Why you."
Then turned away and walked to the school.
~At lunch time~
Hikari waited and waited and stared at her watch.
"Takeru Takaishi. I should have known. You'll pay for this."
She grabbed a cd and went into the speaking room. She turned on the microphone switch and watched the on air light pop up.
"Good afternoon, friends." She said, nicely through the microphone. "The lunch broadcast will now begin." A few seconds later she said, "Today, I want to touch on the subject of responsibility." "Somebody was supposed to do this broadcast with me today, but this friend didn't show up." "So I have to work on an empty stomach. I can't name this person if he's listening I want him to remember that his selfishness has caused someone a lot of discomfort." "Oh my, I'm using this broadcast to voice personal grievances, you say?" "Please excuse me this once." "So anyway, here's Abba with "Dancing Queen"."
Takeru took off the newspaper from his eyes and got up from his nap on the roof. He put a grin on his face.
She started dancing to the music.
Takeru was walking to the broadcasting room. He let out a sigh and then was about to open the door and go into the room when he saw her dancing and quickly closed the door. Then he peeked in again and started laughing quietly.
She spun around and laughed and kept dancing. Then she took off the microphone from the wire and started lip-syncing.
Takeru just kept snickering then walked in.
She realized he was in the room 20 seconds later and paused, staring at him.
She thought "oh my god." And quickly sat down but she fell off her chair and bit her lip. She pretended to be busy look at the cd cover.
She looked at what he was doing. He was looking at her art work. "Hey!" She yelled. "Stop touching my stuff." He pretended not to notice and he flicked a switch to turn the sounds for the microphone on and the music off.
"Hey!" She yelled.
Everybody heard her and looked away from there lunches.
Daisuke looked at Ken and said, "Hey, let's go."
And they dropped their lunch on the desk and ran to the broadcasting room.
When they got their, Hikari was walking out of the room, annoyed.
"Hey Hikari what happened?" Daisuke asked.
"Oh I don't know, Leave me alone." She said and left.
"What's wrong with her?" Ken asked.
They looked at each other then ran into the room. They saw Takeru there and just stared at him. Takeru looked up and blinked then looked back at his cds.
~Later~
"Miyako!" Ken yelled as he fell onto the branch she was sitting on and rested his head in her lap.
"Oh my goodness." She yelled. "You scared me." She said looking down bashfully.
"Hey. Did Hikari say anything about the broadcast?"
"I don't think so. Why?"
"Well. I think something's going on." "Hikari Yagami and Takeru Takaishi" "Their astrological signs may seem opposites." "They could be."
Miyako said, "But aren't opposites bad?"
"You know, opposites attract." "I have a bad premonition." "Should I tell Daisuke?"
"Why?" Miyako asked.
"You have to ask?" "You know Daisuke and Hikari are a couple." Ken relied.
"What are you talking about?" She said, nudging him slightly. "Hikari only thinks of him as a close friend."
"Geez. this is why you don't' have a boyfriend."
"What?!" She yelled as she stared at him with evil eyes.
"Don't you see? Friends become boyfriend and girlfriend and then husband and wife. It's as simple as that." He said knowingly. "So anyway, in the end, girls always fall for the guys who're nice to them." "Yeah. you just watch." He said nodding his head like he knew everything while Miyako went into deep thought.
He grinned and said, "This psychic vision of mine amazes even me."
"Idiot." Miyako whispered, before looking down again. But then she looked up again. "So if you can really tell, what will I get in piano class?"
~Later~
"Miyako, five points."
"Please give me one more chance, please." Miyako said begging. "One chance please." She said putting up one finger then started biting it.
"No way. You'll have a chance next week." The teacher replied.
"Please."
"Next, Takeru Takaishi." The teacher said, ignoring her plea.
So she sat down and he went to the piano and took a seat.
"Alright. Left hand and right hand on top. 1. 2. 3. Begin." She said.
But he just sat there, not moving an inch.
"Hey. What's with the pause? Didn't you study?" The teacher asked.
He didn't reply back.
"Um. teacher. He just transferred in." Hikari said.
"Oh really? Why didn't you tell me sooner?" She said looking into her grade book. "Alright you have to next week to know how to play it. If you don't know how, you're going to flunk alright?"
"Yes mam." He said before returning to his seat.
She pretending to be looking at her work but when he passed by she looked back.
Hikari was running up the stairs to the bus stop again. She looked to the side and watched the bus leaving. She ran in the middle of the road and put her arms out. She shut her eyes tight and yelled, "Stop!"
