Chapter 11: Can't Take My Eyes Off You
"You're back earl--" Makoto greeted as Haruka entered the apartment, but
stopped as a raging tempest followed her. "She knows." The blonde stated
monotonously, "She knows."
"Knows which part?" Mako asked in a perky tone, trying to be as optimistic as
possible.
"The bet."
"Yikes ..."
"It could be worse, she could know about me."
"Are you sure that's worse than what you're feeling now?"
"I'm trying to think of the bright side here."
"Oh." The brunette silenced, a large anime sweat drop forming over her head.
"Well, looks like you've got two things to do; confessions and proving to
Michiru that you sincerely like her. Any ideas?"
"Hey, you're talking to a pro here, I can handle this easily!"
"The same way you handled this situation?"
Haruka shot Mako a dark glare before they began planning the recovery stage.

"I said BRR! It's cold in here! There must be some Ravens in the atmosphere!"
The cheerleaders began their practice at 3:45pm sharp, with the usual routine
performed at nearly every game. The music was blasting through the speakers on
the football field, however there was no practice for the players today. Michiru
had half a nerve to quit the cheer squad, but Minako had convinced her to stay
in. She was shocked that Haruka turned out to be a true jerk, but reassured her
that not all of the guys, well, a small percentage of them, were genuinely
nice. "I said, BRR! It's cold in here! There must be some Ravens in the
atmosphere!!" The Captain repeated once more, when the music suddenly went dead
silent. "Hey! What's going on here?!" She called out, all the cheerleaders gone
dumbstruck looking around.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
A strong melody came about the field, the girls all looking around for
where it was coming from. Suddenly one of them pointed up to the bleachers
where Haruka stood in the dead center, holding a microphone in her hand.
I love you baby, and if it's quite all right
I need you baby, to warm the lonely night
I love you baby, trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby, now that I found, stay
Let me love you baby
Let me love you
The squad erupted into a fury of ooo's and aww's gushing Michiru before they
continued cheering for Haruka. "Oh my can he ever sing!" The Captain gleamed,
stars circling her head. The song ended with Haruka being chased off by the
school principle, obviously not as amused as the cheerleaders were. Haruka
suddenly showed up on the field, running away from the red-faced official of
the school, heading directly for Michiru. She passed a small, folded piece of paper into her
hand and quickly backed away. "Afternoon ladies!"
Haruka called out before dashing away from the wrath
of the principle. Michiru looked down at the piece of
paper, "Meet me at Cafe Metro in an hour. Please."
