~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Those eyes behind rimmed-glasses~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The night has a thousand eyes,
And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun

The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart but one;
Yet the light of a whole life dies
When love is done.

-Francis- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The cherry blossoms are blooming. The sun is shining brightly and the sky is blue and gay. The wind is singing a happy song that sounds like muffled screams but it doesn't sound scary or frightening. It just sounds nostalgic.

"Tsukasa! Your still waiting for your secret admirer?" Kino asks him.

"Are you crazy? I know the person who sent it to me. I feel the same." Tsukasa smiles.

"Are you sure of that?" Kino rubs her chin thoughtfully.

Tsukasa looks absent-minded. He is creating his own world in his head. Kino waves her hand in front of his face.

"Hello! Earth to Tsukasa!" Kino tries to make her voice loud enough to break Tsukasa's thoughts.

"Huh?" Tsukasa looks around. "Did you say anything, kino?"

"It's useless to talk to a guy who won't listen. Ja ne!" Kino laughs. Tsukasa ignores Kino. His stomach is making that Butterfly feeling again. He laughs not because it's funny but how ironic his life is.

"Maybe because I've dated too many fake obnoxious girls in the past and I have never dealt with butterflies in the stomach before." He thought carefully.

"Tsukasa kun! What are you doing here?" Makino suddenly appears.

"Tsukushi!" Domyoji hugs her tightly all of a sudden.

Makino blushes so hard. "Tsukasa, are you okey?"

"No! Where have you been? You made me wait you know!" Tsukasa says softly.

"Hehe! Are you sure your all right?" She hides her nervousness.

"No! I've been waiting since yesterday." Tsukasa sighs.

"What are you talking about?" Makino is now curious.

"Your letter! Your love letter! Remember?" Tsukasa gushes.

"I don't recall writing any letter or a love letter to be precise!" Tsukushi snorts.

"Get real! Stop hiding your feelings for me!" Tsukasa rolls his eyes.

"You know what?" Makino jabs her finger in Tsukasa's chest.

"What?" Tsukasa pretends to be interested.

"You're a real jerk!" Makino screams and runs away.

"Tsukushi! Matte yo!" Tsukasa tries to catch up with her.

Finally, he is able to hold her hand.

"Makino" ~pause~ He turns her around so that she can face him. Makino looks down.

"Look at me please!" Tsukasa sounds desperate.

Makino looks up, tears flowing in her eyes. The tear is clear even if it is hidden behind her large rimmed-glasses. One by one, the tears go out of her eyes.

She is crying silently~~~~~~~

"Ma-Makino! I'm sorry. I'm a jerk!" Tsukasa apologizes.

"Tsukasa, you are a jerk!" Tsukushi laughs heartily while wiping her eyes.

"Yah! I am an idiot who's inlove with you!" Tsukasa laughs out loud.

~~~~~~~~~~~~SILENCE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What did you say, Tsukasa?" Makino stutters.

"I said that I'm an idiot for falling inlove with you!" Tsukasa repeated.

Makino feels uneasy. No one ever told her this before. She never expected someone to like a complete nerd like her but now, the most popular guy in school says he loves her.

"Why?" Makino whispers.

"Why? Is that all you have to say to me?!" Tsukasa snaps.

"I don't know why, Makino! Why don't you ask yourself why I'm inlove with you?!"

Tsukasa says sarcastically and leaves immediately.

"Wait! Tsukasa kun! You don't know what I mean!" Makino screams.

Tsukasa stops walking. "Oh! I do know! I do!" He screams back.

Tsukushi collapses down the ground crying.

"Now I have really hurt him." She thought while crying so hard to release her pain.

Suddenly, someone pats her back.

"What's wrong, sweet Tsukushi?" Rui looks concern.

"I hate myself!" Makino sobs.

"Well I'll tell you my secret when I feel like crying, okay?" Rui smiles.

"Sure!" Tsukushi sniffles.

Rui stands in front of her and does a hand stand.

"WoW!" Tsukushi's eyes widens with amazement.

"Hehe! Look at you! You're not crying anymore." Rui laughs.

"I guess" Tsukushi stands up and starts to pack her things.

"Where are you going?" Rui asks.

"I'm going to visit Tsubaki. I have to tell her something." Makino says seriously.

"Well, you need a ride?" Rui asks her again.

"Nope! But thanks anyway!" Makino bows to him and leaves.

"Bye!" Rui watch her leave. Across the tree, he saw something.

"It's a diary!" Rui holds it securely. "Tsukushi's diary!"

In the hospital~~~

"Makino chan! I'm so glad to see you!" Tsubaki smiles cheerfully.

"I'm glad to see you too, Tsubaki san!" Makino laughs.

"So how are you with Tsukasa kun?" Tsubaki asks suspiciously.

"Actually, that's why I'm here." Makino says sadly.

"Okey, what happened?" Tsubaki frowns.

"You see, he told me his feelings just this morning but I didn't say anything and he thought that I just don't feel the same!" Makino fumes.

"Well don't be a baka and stand here! Tell him how you feel!" Tsubaki grins.

"Yah! I should!" Makino smiles.

"Ja ne! I'll come back with good news!" Makino promises.

"That'll be nice. Ja!" Tsubaki smiles. "Finally!" She thought happily.

Meanwhile~~~~~~~

Tsukasa cries silently. The silence is nothing unusual. He is used to this anyway. Ever since he was young, he would always prefer silent places because it gives him the solace he needs.

The quietness always seems to provide him serenity and for him to make his problems go away for a while.

"Well, I thought I finally found happiness but I guess I'm destined to be miserable." Tsukasa hugs himself imagining it was someone else who is hugging him.

"Tsukasa, what happened to you?" Kino enters the dark room. "So dark!" She exclaims.

"Leave me alone, Kino!" Tsukasa says in an icy voice.

"You idiot! How can you say that when you're so lonesome there sitting by yourself!" Kino sits beside him and touches his knees.

"Some people think my life is peaches and cream but I think it's the exact opposite!" Tsukasa begins to cry again but his dignity as a guy makes him hold his tears.

"I know that, Tsukasa kun!" Kino suddenly hugs him. "I understand you, I feel the same with my life."

"Really?" Tsukasa asks her. "Maybe I should just love someone who'll love me in return." He thought.

"Yes. My parents are not there for me and the one that I love doesn't feel the same." Kino trembles and suddenly bawls.

"Shhh.don't cry. It's not good for a guy to see a girl cry." Tsukasa whispers.

"Tsukasa! I'm the one who sent you the letter. I know you don't feel the same but I just want you to know that I love you so much!" Kino cries.

"I love you too, kino" Tsukasa lies. He suddenly realizes that he doesn't want Kino to feel the way he felt when Makino turned him down.

"Really?!" Kino's eyes lights up with happiness!

Tsukasa smiles. "Kino is really cute when she smiles." He thought.

"Why should I be lying to you, Kino?" Tsukasa asks her.

"You were waiting for your letter sender before and you said that you were sure that she feels the same. You told it to me so I was sure that it was definitely not me!" Kino explains.

"Silly girl, I tried to tell you but you misunderstood me!" Tsukasa smiles.

"This is wonderful!" Kino hugs Tsukasa lovingly.

"This is better. At least kino feels love for me." Tsukasa thought sadly.

"Let's celebrate!" Tsukasa suddenly exclaims.

"Sure!" Kino smiles brightly and walks with Tsukasa hand-in-hand.

Makino arrives in her school 15 minutes later with a smile in her face. She is going to do what she has been afraid to do since she was betrayed. She is going to love again. She is going to give her trust to the man who annoyed her at the beginning. She is going to put light and love in his heart and make him smile again.

"Tsukasa, please! Where are you?" Makino searches for him. Running around the campus with a hysterical face. She meets Kagerou, one of Tsukasa's classmates.

"Excuse me, have you seen Tsukasa?" She asks him desperately.

"Sorry, I have not seen him. Maybe he's in the gym?" Kagerou suggests.

"Okay! Thanks a lot!" Makino smiles cheerfully to a stranger for once. Tsukushi runs to the gym hoping that Tsukasa is there. Finally she reaches the entrance door and breathes for a while. "You can do this!" She tells herself.

"Tsukasa! I love you very much!" Someone says.

"The voice belongs to a girl." Makino thought. She opens the door slightly to take a good look. There, A girl with long black hair is hugging Tsukasa. She is very slender and tall and has the body of a goddess! She wears a sophisticated glasses that makes her face much more seductive and pretty.

"That girl is kino! She is the president of the student council!" Makino whispers by herself. She watches as Tsukasa hug Kino back.

"I love you too!" Makino hears Tsukasa reply to Kino. Makino closes the door silently while tears come running down her eyes.

"Why does the pain penetrate so deeply as if I can die at this moment?" Makino asks no one. She runs away from the gym. Anywhere or everywhere as long as it is not the gym. Makino takes her glasses off to wipe the tears that stained her glasses. Suddenly, she bumps into someone.

"Your always in sorrow every time we meet. Can you tell me who caused all of this?" Rui asks her. His face so concern as usual.

Tsukushi wipes her eyes. "None of your business!"

"Your so rude when I'm just trying to cheer you up!" Rui pouts.

"Well, your effort is in vain." Makino says icily. She leaves without a second thought.

"Wait! What's wrong? Maybe I can help!" Rui grabs her shoulders.

"Help?! What can you do to help when the mistake is already done?" Makino cries out.

"I'm dumb, I'm stupid, I'm ugly, I'm the geek goddess!" she screams. Rui kisses her before she can continue to insult herself.

"There! Now that you have shut your mouth! You can listen to me!" Rui looks at her.

"How can you be dumb when your at the top list and how can you think you're the geek goddess when your so beautiful in my eyes." Rui tells her slowly.

"That's what you think! In a ratio, 1 out of a million and a billion!" Makino screams.

"Why do you care what others think of you? Don't you think it's more important to have faith in yourself?" Rui asks her.

"Your right! Thank you!" Makino looks down.

"Thank you for what?" Rui asks her.

"Thank you for cheering me up and telling me that I'm beautiful?" Makino says softly.

"I don't need to say, "your welcome", because what I'm telling you is true!" Rui smiles. Makino blushes and hugs Rui.

"Thank you still!" She looks at Rui and kisses his cheeks.

Rui touches his cheeks tenderly and blushes a light color of pink.

"Oh well____" Rui leans towards Tsukushi and kisses her lips.

Makino looks at Rui strangely. "What yah do that for?!" She demands.

"Nothing! If you have the right to kiss me then I have the right to kiss you to!" Rui tells her matter-of-factly.

"But___I kissed you on the cheek! Not on the lips!" Makino bickers.

"Well__I kiss you on the lips. Same thing!" Rui says calmly.

"There's a difference between the cheeks and the lips!" Makino bites her lips.

"Yah! And that's the spelling! Hahahahahahaha!" Rui laughs heartily.

"Whatever! I'm leaving!" Tsukushi starts to leave but__

"Tsuksuhi! Tsukushi! Please don't leave!" Rui screams at the top of his lungs and kneels down in the ground.

Tsukushi sweat drops. "I guess I have no choice or I'll only be shamed!"

"Okey!" Rui holds her hand as if they were boyfriend-girlfriend who's very inlove.

"I guess Rui is a very sweet guy. He's very handsome too. Maybe he can make me forget about Tsukasa." Makino thought sadly.

"Where are we going?" Makino asks him.

"Well__I know a Mexican restaurant that sells taco's that are so good!" Rui exclaims.

"The hot fresh taco is stuffed with vegetables, spicy meat and varieties of cheese! It's really good!" Rui continues.

"Stop it!" Makino smiles. "Stop your yapping and let's go to that restaurant. Your making me really hungry just by describing that food!"

"You mean you haven't tried Mexican food yet?" Rui asks gaping at her.

"No__any probems with that?" Tsukushi asks innocently while fire burns in her eyes.

"Nah! Not everyone has a liking for Mexican food, anyway." Rui stops talking and drags Makino inside a restaurant with a different aura.

"Well__I guess this is the Mexican restaurant, right?" Makino smiles.

"Of course! You'll know it's Mexican when you see waitresses that wears really short skirts and some large man with mustaches and they sing songs using some instruments like the guitar and the maracas." Rui says proudly.

"Yah____" Makino looks around the restaurant and suddenly spots something.

Rui noticed and looks at the direction where Makino is looking at and gasps.

"Holy Macaroni! Is that Tsukasa and student body president, Kino?" Rui asks Makino wildly.

"Duh?!" Makino answers him while looking at the couple so angrily as if she's ready to throw daggers at their direction.

"Let's go meet them!" Rui drags Makino to where Tsukasa and Kino are sitting.

"No! I don't want to disturb them. They're having a__date__" Tsukushi tries to stop Rui to dragging her to Tsukasa's and Kino's table.

"Yo! Tsukasa!" Rui got their attention and is invited to join them.

"Hi Hanazawa san, Makino chan!" Kino greeted.

"Join us if you like!" Tsukasa says icily without lifting his gaze to anyone.

"Uh___no but thanks anyway! Rui and I have something____" Makino is interrupted.

"Oh! We'd love to!" Rui sits down and pats at the empty sit beside him. "Come here Makino dear! Sit beside me!"

Tsuskushi blushes and looks at Tsukasa if he has a reaction but his face remains the same.

"Hmph! We'll__that crap he told me about liking me was probably forgotten already since he's dating Kino!" Makino thought miserably.

A waitress comes to their table. "What would you like to order?"

Rui suddenly asks Tsukushi, "You like spicy or not?"

"Uh___sure!"

Suddenly Kino exclaims in a very high-pitched voice.

"Oh Tuskasa kun! You have some sauce on your mouth! Here! I'll wipe it for you!" Kino grabs her handkerchief and wipes the tip of Tuskasa's lips.

Something hot grew in Makino's heart. Perhaps it is pain or jealousy but one thing is for sure. Even thought that she likes Kino. She still wants to kill her for being such a flirtatious freak! She clenches her knuckles.

"So what are you two doing here? A meeting perhaps?" Makino smiles a fake smile. Kino stares at her blankly for a second before she could reply.

"Oh! Were a couple now! We love each other." She proclaims.

Makino's blood is boiling now. She could readily punch her right in the nose if only she was daring but she isn't.

"Oh really?" Makino can't help it but she just had to say a sneering remark.

"Tell her, darling!" Kino pokes Tsukasa's shoulder.

"Yes__we love each other." Tsukasa says as if he's so bored and he has nothing more to say.

"Makino and I love each other!" Rui announces.

This statement got Tsukasa's attention. "Really?" It's his turn now to give Rui a sneering remark.

"Well Makino, tell my bestfriend here why were dating in this restaurant in the first place." Rui tells her with a serious gaze.

"Yes____We're dating here___" That's all Makino could say.

"Here's you're Order!" The waitress arrives with 2 plates of hot delicious looking tacos. Makino takes a huge bite and chokes.

"Oh my!" Kino gasps.

"Here's the water!" Tsukasa gives it to Rui.

"Tsukushi! Drink this water! Quick!" Rui gives the water to Makino. Makino drinks the water and finishes it all!

"Whew! That was HOT!!!!" Makino smiles to hide her shame.

"Here____" Rui wipes Tsukushi's mouth that's dripping with water. Tsukasa looks at them furiously as if he is reading to shoot them at any second.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hahahhahahaha! Yah! It looks like that the Karma effect is going on! If Tsukushi is jealous then Tsukasa will also be jealous afterwards. It looks like the both of them needs to resolve this misunderstanding and stop pretending that they love someone else or someone will have to be hurt or what if everyone will end up happy??????
