CHAPTER 6

Usagi really had a bad day. She can't accept the fact that Sauri Motoyama called her friend Makoto Kino as a monster. Ami and Minako know Usagi is in bad mood. During lunch break, Usagi sat down under the cherry blossom tree and quitely continued to write her new novel. On the other hand, Mamoru is upset with Sauri's manners that morning. He wants to be alone that afternoon. He doesn't want Sauri nor Motoki to accompany him. While walking on the school grounds, he saw again the lady he bumped that morning. He decided to buy her a drink in the near by vendo machine. After he got the drinks, he walked straight to her.

"Hi there!" He greeted while handing her a can of ice tea. "It's a treat.and a peace offering for what Sauri have told about your friend." "Thanks, I appreciate it." Usagi received the can of ice tea. She smiled at Mamoru and that smile made him blush slightly. "Can.can I sit here?" He asked. "Sure.'

Silence covered them. They don't know how to start a casual conversation after what had happened that morning. Usagi decided to break the silence.

"Well where's your girlfriend?' She asked. "I am upset with her because of what she had said about your friend." Mamoru replied. "How did you know that the girl we were talking about is my friend?" "The way you protected her by means of your words."

Again silence covered them. Deep silence covered them but there was a feeling of contententment. This time Mamoru decided to break the silence.

"Do you read Unotsuki Sagi's worlks?" he asked "Well.." Usagi had a difficulty to answer his question. "Well.I love her novels." "Me too. You know what.I feel like she's one of us.her characters are so familiar to me. And the setting.I could really relate in the setting because it is here in our school." He said with so much excitement. "Yeah.her settings and plots are deeply moving." She added.

Suddenly his attention was diverted to what Usagi was writing.

"What is that?" he asked. "Nothing!" "Well if you need help don't hesitate to ask from me. I would gladly help you."

They're eyes met again. They find each other staring at each other's eyes. They can't understand the contentment they feel with each other especially Mamoru. For him the feelings he is experiencing are new. He didn't know how to explain it or what is it called like but he was glad to feel it.

"Tsukino-san.yoroshiku onegaishimasu. (Nice to meet you.)" he said. "Hai.dozo yoroshiku." Usagi replied. "I hope I could become your friend too." "Friend? Why not.but I hope they don't judge me because you are popular here and I don't even exist in this school" "Don't mind what they are saying. I would rather have friends than enemies." Mamoru smiled at her gently. Usagi blushed. She didn't know how to respond to that sweet smile. "Well I have to go now." She stood up and walked away. "Wait!" Mamoru called out. "yes?" she looked back at him. "Can we talk again.can I meet your friends too?" "My friends? We are a bunch of weirdos.are you sure?" "Ofcourse I am.can I also meet them?" "I'll talk it out to them." Then she walked again but Mamoru called her again. "Tsukino-san." "Hai?" "Nice meeting you again." "Same here" then she bowed her head and walked away from him.

He stared at her with so much happiness that he couldn't explain. He watched her silhouette vanished and again he smiled.

"Kami-sama tasukete kudasai! (God please help me)" he said. "What is this indescribable feelings?"
