"I can't believe it Haruko, you freaked out infront of a teacher and the whole class with no reason at all!" Fujii said as she and Matsui accompanied Haruko into the senior's building.

"Yeah! It was kinda embarrassing…" Matsui butted in.

Haruko gave out a loud sigh, "I just got too excited. She's a really popular person that well, I just couldn't believe that she's my classmate and all." She gave them a forced smile.

"Popular? Yeah, she was so popular in fact, I remember seeing her in those commercials for Nike on T.V." Matsui said.

Fujii was quite getting the picture. "Yeah, she's also in that new commercial with lots of cute boys playing in court."

"Exactly!"

Haruko just came out from their classroom and joined in their conversation, "She's not just a model, she was known for her great basketball skills, and in fact she's a playing coach."

"A playing what?"

"A playing coach, you know, she was her team's coach and their ace player, like…Fujima from Shoyo." She explained.

"Who the hell is he?"

Haruko sweat dropped while looking at her friends' heads that are full of floating question marks. Her body suddenly shrank to its chibi form, "I see you don't understand me don't you?" Fujii and Matsui just shook their heads.

"Yappari!"

The three of them hurried up the stairs to the senior's building. As soon as they've arrived upstairs, Fujii saw two scary senior Judo members. Sensing something might happen, she caught Haruko's arm, "Haruko, I think we better leave you alone."

"Hey, don't leave me, it's scary in here!"

"Well Haruko, see you in class!" Fujii said while pulling Matsui down the stairs. "Bye!"

"Matte!!!!" Haruko swallowed her nervousness. "Oh well here goes nothing." She walked along the corridors looking down her feet. Not soon enough, she bumped into somebody.

"Gomen nasai, sempai!" she said with a shaky voice, bowing and with her eyes closed.

"Hey you're that noisy classmate of mine, right?" a familiar voice called.

"A…re?" she opened her eyes and looked up in a surprise way. "Eh? Natsumi?"

Natsumi smiled in greeting, "I suppose your name's Haruko, ne?"

"Well, yeah…"

"So why are you so nervous back here?" Natsumi asked her while putting a finger in her forehead. "Want me to accompany you?"

Haruko smiled back at her, "Thank you…by the way, what brings you here?"

As walk slowly towards room 6 in that building, they had enough time to chat with each other. "Well, I was supposed to be in a campus tour but it was so boring that I left my guide alone." She said while laughing.

"I can't believe you did that! Ah, wait here, I'll just give my brother his lunch!" Haruko stopped infront of room 3-6 and looked inside. She suddenly pooped her head out of the door. "Sorry to disturb you Natsumi."

"No, it's nothing. Um…Haruko, sorry but I really got to go."

"Why?"

"Um…it seems that my guide found me already."

"What?"

"Ah, I'll just gonna run away from him again! Bye!" she said while running down the hall quickly.

"Whoah, she's fast!" Haruko exclaimed as she watched her disappear from her sight.
