Tsukushi smiled as she fastened the Saturn necklace around her neck. It held all the fond memories that she had had with Tsukasa. She surveyed herself in the mirror. * Hmm.. not bad..* she was wearing a simple but stylish outfit – but of course, she would never be as good as Asai and the others.. She was not rich anymore.. would Tsukasa still want to be friends with her? * Don't be silly.. Tsukasa is not that type of person..* she reassured herself. Judging by his reaction yesterday, it showed that he still cared… A faint smile lit up her face, she would finally be reconciled with her best friend.
The hurt look on his face had hurt her as much as it did for him. Was it really that bad if she really did not remember him? But she would drop the act today..
"Susumu! I'm going to school now! Your lunch is on the kitchen table!" she shouted before waltzing out the door.

Tsukasa's P.O.V:
I waited in front of the school gates for her, ignoring the stares that people were giving me. Damn.. where was Tsukushi? She should feel privileged to have me, the great Doumyouji Tsukasa, standing in front of the school waiting for her! I looked at my watch impatiently, I had already ruined my reputation – chasing her all over the school yesterday. And now this! I had to get an explanation from her.. Last night had been a terrible night, I was surprised there were no bags under my eyes this morning.. but then again, the great Tsukasa would never look bad.
My two playboy friends were flirting with girls.. again. I could never understand them.. why have sex with people you don't love.. they always HAD to bring up that touchy subject of me being a virgin.. Rui was gone as always..
I strained my eyes and finally saw a petite figure heading towards Eitoku. FINALLY! After what.. I looked at my watch again, half an hour of waiting! I seriously had NEVER waited that long for anyone before.. I was not known to be patient. The pent up anger inside me, my insecurities of her not remembering me.. I stormed towards her and then.. I saw her wearing the Saturn Necklace!! My anger quickly dissolved away and was replaced by pure joy. She was wearing my gift for her! She had not forgotten me! On Tsukushi's face was a bright and cheerful smile.
"Good morning Tsukasa!"
I gaped at her. She called me by my first name!! yes! I knew she wouldn't be able to keep up the act for long.. after all, who can resist the great Doumyouji Tsukasa?
"Tsukushi!" I cried. Then I remembered that I should be angry with her.. right? She had completely fooled me yesterday.. not that I would allow myself to admit it. She was the one who had put on the act.. made me so afraid that she had really forgotten me.. But then again, I could never be angry at Tsukushi for long. Somehow.. her cheerful spirit was contagious…

Rui's P.O.V:
I watched from the door of Eitoku, oblivious to the commotion around me. Tsukasa was holding Tsukushi tightly in his embrace. Love shone clearly in his eyes but Tsukushi's.. they only seemed to hold friendship. What had happened between the two? Only yesterday, Tsukasa had been moody and angry.. and now he was happy? Normally I could read him like a book, but now.. I had no idea what was going on.
Who was Tsuksuhi to him? How did they know each other? Why didn't Tsukasa introduce her to the rest of F4? The questions rang in my head.. Why was I so concerned over this matter anyway? But as I watched them continue hugging and Tsukasa's light kiss on Tsukushi's forehead.. I couldn't help but feel a faint stirring within my heart..
How was this possible? I had only just met the girl.. And besides, the only one I loved was Shizuka.. and only Shizuka I told myself firmly. I would never be interested in any other girl. Shizuka was perfect, my idol, an angel in my eyes. I loved her dearly but did she love me back? She was a mystery. A graceful smile always playing on her beautiful face.. I could never see what was going on by that mask. It seemed as if nothing ever troubled her.. nothing ever fazed her.. But this Tsukushi was cute.. I had to admit, but still.. it was nothing compared to the beauty of Shizuka..
I walked slowly away to the cafeteria to meet Akira and Soujiro. On the outside I may be expressionless.. cold and uncaring, but the truth was, this thing with Tsukushi and Tsukasa really bothered me.. But why? Why had I helped her get to class? Talked to her on the rooftop? (I will change to emergency stairs later.. =P) No one ever understood me.. not even myself Only Shizuka had found the way to my heart… maybe that was why I loved her. But Tsukushi seemed special… I shook my head to clear my thoughts and entered the cafeteria.
