Wanna Switch With Me, Hitomi?

Ch.7- Day 2. Hitomi's New Boyfriend
Disclaimer- I don't own Escaflowne. Wish I did, but...I don't.
A/N: It's me again. Yes, I'm again having some problems (it IS summer vacation), but I'm getting more and more ideas for this story. Again, most of the names in here are changed because I believe that certain people have rights to keep their names secret in my fanfics. And don't get mad if the boy from Hitomi's vision was not like you expected him to be. R/R, but no flames please.
******************************************************
A tall figure walked into Hitomi's partially light room. It was in the middle of April and yet was very light outside at 6:15am. Instead of shaking Hitomi, he decided to open the blinds and let his "daughter" wake up to the light from the sun, then he left the room. Hitomi, unlike Kristina, was a light sleeper, so she almost immediately woke up to the morning sunlight. She looked at the clock on the VCR and saw that it was 6:15 and time for her to get ready for school.
Hitomi got out of bed and walked to her dresser to grab an outfit for school. She slipped on a pair of jeans, a cute blue top, and her tennis shoes. Once dressed, she walked to the bathroom to brush her teeth and her hair. She then made it to the kitchen, where a bowl of cereal and a carton of milk were on the table. Hitomi sat at the table and ate her food.
Once she finished eating, she grabbed the lunch that her "dad" made for her to eat at school and got her things ready for school. It took her a while to shove her way over-stuffed binder into her backpack. By the time she was done, her "dad" was ready to take her to school.
The ride to school was a quiet one, mostly because nobody had anything to say. When Hitomi got out of the truck that she was driven to school in, she met up with Nicole and her friend, Amanda. The 3 girls sat in the front of the school talking about Amanda's new boyfriend that she talked almost non- stop about. The conversation was boring, but at least the bell rang. Hitomi had no classes with Amanda, but had the same lunch, so she wouldn't see Amanda until lunch.
Hitomi quietly walked through the hallway to her first class: Physics. She took out her binder and asked her teacher, Mr. Moliter, where her seat was. He pointed at her seat and she walked to it and sat down. Hitomi also noticed that the boy from her vision/dream was sitting one seat behind and one to the right of her. He was right behind Chad, the boy who sat next to her at the same table.
Mr. Moliter stood in front of the class and began taking roll. At the corner of her eye, she saw the boy from her vision staring at her, his head lying on the palm of his hand. He stared as if he were hypnotized by her. His best friend, Kyle, who sat next to the boy, tried to bring on a conversation with the boy, but he was unsuccessful. The boy kept staring.
Finally, Mr. Moliter spoke up, "Today, you will rehearse your songs. Remember that they must be something you made up, have to have home-made instruments, it must be about sound, and that it must be performed in front of the class. It's due in 4 days. Get to work." (A/N: I really did have a project like this to do in my Physics class) Every student got into their own groups, but yet Hitomi didn't know who was in her group, until Chad asked, "Hitomi? You're in our group remember? We're rehearsing outside." Hitomi nodded and followed Chad to the outside of the school.
Hitomi's group included Chad, Kyle, the boy from her vision, and herself. The boys each had a home-made instrument. Chad had a drum, Kyle had a guitar, and the boy had some instrument made of wood and hair clips. "Shane, what the hell is that?" Kyle asked the boy, pointing at his instrument. "So his name is Shane. He's pretty cute." Hitomi thought. "It's a xylophone." Shane answered proudly.
Kyle shrugged and reminded Hitomi that she was the singer of the group while the boys played the music in the band. Kyle also had to do some background singing. The song Hitomi sung was very interesting, but sounded like the newest hit in America. Shane had stared at her the entire time they practiced. His brown eyes stared into her green eyes and Hitomi stared into his eyes. Both of them blushed until the bell rang for the next period.
Hitomi didn't pay any attention to Nicole in her Japanese class. The only thing she thought of was Shane. "He's so hot. God, I wish Shane was my boyfriend." Hitomi thought. Suddenly, a folded piece of paper was on Hitomi's desk. Confused, she opened the note and gasped as she read the huge black letters on the paper that said, "STAY AWAY FROM HIM!!!"
Nicole turned to Hitomi and asked, "What's wrong, Hitomi?" Hitomi shook her head and crumpled the piece of paper in her hand, "Nothing." "Hitomi, you're a very bad liar and I will find out sooner or later what you're hiding." Nicole told her friend. Hitomi nodded and threw the paper in the garbage can then got back to her school work.
For the rest of her Japanese, her English, and her World History classes, Hitomi ignored everyone and thought of no one but Shane. She closed her eyes and saw his face smiling at her. Hitomi even ignored her friends at lunch...until Amanda got her to talk. "Hitomi, you seem very quiet and distant today." Amanda told her. "No, I'm not." Hitomi said. "Yes, you are." Amanda told Hitomi. "No, I'm not." Hitomi blushed.
"Hitomi, you're staring off into space, ignoring your friends, and you're blushing."
"So?" Hitomi bit into her green apple.
"I know what it means."
"So do I. It means nothing."
"Ah, denial. Hitomi, you have a crush, right?"
"WHAT?!?" Hitomi blushed more.
"Your face says 'yes', who is it?"
"N-no one."
"Hitomi, you're the worst liar in the entire high school. So who is it?"
"Nobody."
"Oh really?" Amanda grabbed Hitomi's arms, "You aren't leaving until you tell me who it is."
"You'll be late for 5th period, Amanda."
"I don't care. Now who is it, Hitomi?"
"His name is Shane. He's in my Physics class."
"Aha! So you admitted it! Does he like you, too?"
"I...don't know. He kept staring at me and was blushing."
"He does! Oh my gosh!"
"Should I tell him that I like him first?"
"No! Let him do it. It'll be more romantic that way."
"Okay, Amanda."
The rest of lunch continued in silence with a smirking Amanda and a blushing Hitomi.
5th period started and it was time to play some softball. It was also the last class of the day that Hitomi would have with Shane. Her teacher, Mrs. Tompkins, wasted no time making the teams and starting the game. Hitomi was on the visiting team along with Shane, his brother Travis, and some other kids in the class. Because of that, they were forced to be out in the field.
During the bottom of the 4th inning, Hitomi noticed big, gray clouds in the sky. It was also her team's turn to bat. First, Travis made a hit that got him to 1st base. Hitomi was next. Hitomi hit the ball and moved Travis to 2nd base and her to 1st. Shane was next. He, like Hitomi and his brother, hit a single. Now Shane was on 1st base, Hitomi was on 2nd, and Travis was on 3rd.
Hitomi's team was losing 3-6. If the next batter hit a home run, her team would be ahead. Her team also had 2 outs. If the next batter struck out or got some on her team out, then their team would be behind. The final batter, a girl named Kim, got into her batting position and hit a home run. Travis, Hitomi, Shane, and Kim ran like hell around the bases.
Hitomi, although she was on the track team in Japan, was not as fast as Travis and Shane. Travis quickly made it to home plate and Shane was only a few inches behind Hitomi as she ran to 3rd base. Smiling, he ran up to Hitomi and picked her up in his arms right at the same time her foot touched 3rd base. With Hitomi in his arms, Shane dashed from 3rd base to home plate, stopping only half an inch away from home plate so Hitomi could touch the plate. After she did, both Shane and Kim made it, too.
Hitomi was laughing. She had ran over many obstacles at home and fought Zaibach warriors in Gaea, but nobody had ever ran with her in their arms like Shane had. She sat on the grass watching the game when Shane walked up to her. "Uhhh...Hitomi?" Shane started. "Yes?" Hitomi asked. "I...uh...I..." Shane continued. "Daijoubu desu ka?" Hitomi asked. Shane gulped.
"I...have to tell you something."
"Yes?"
"I...I..."
"Are you okay?"
"Uhhh...we've been in the same PE class for a year as well as the same Physics class."
"Yes, is something wrong?"
"Hitomi, I really like you."
Hitomi gasped. It was her vision from last night.
"As friends?"
"No...I REALLY like you. Hitomi, I..."
Rain began to fall, so Mrs. Tompkins blew her whistle to tell everyone to go inside. Shane waited until he was alone with Hitomi.
Rain fell hard, but Hitomi didn't care. Shane grabbed her arm, "Hitomi, I have a huge crush on you. I've liked you since I first saw you." "Really? Me too." Hitomi told him. Shane smiled and pulled her in for her first real kiss. Hitomi felt in actual love in this kiss, unlike the few she accidentally had with Allen. She decided not to be with Van, but with Shane for as long as she could.
"Hitomi, do you want to go out on a date with me tomorrow night?" Shane asked her. "Yes, I do." Hitomi answered. Shane smiled and walked with her to the inside of the gym. They only separated to go to their locker rooms (A/N: What? You think I'm gonna let them change clothes in the same room?) Hitomi did nothing but pretend to study for the test the next day. All she did was think about her new boyfriend. "Amanda was right. It was more romantic." Hitomi thought.
At the end of the day, she caught up with Amanda and told her everything. Both girls giggled as Hitomi got a ride home. Once home, she told her "mom" everything and got permission to go out the next day. Hitomi happily walked to her room.
When she got inside, a big piece of paper was taped to her computer screen. In big, bolded letters, she paper read, "IF YOU VALUE YOUR HAPPINESS, STAY AWAY FROM SHANE!!!" Hitomi shrugged and threw the paper away. She had the whole evening to herself and thought of nothing but Shane. She even dreamt of her date the next day.
