Miaka Yuy answers: Izumi is blushing because…well if I told you that I'd be spoiling it for everyone else. Soz!! Kouzumi maybe…maybe not. They carry frying pans because they want to be ready to bang people like Junpei over the head when they get annoying. Heh heh!^^' Don't worry I'll try to update as much as I can. Thanx for writing! I really appreciate your questions!!

Brief Summary Izumi, Kouji and Junpei are assigned to a project together. Junpei doesn't help because he's too stupid. Kouji refuses to help because he doesn't want to. Izumi feels she must do this project alone. She finally decides to ask Junpei for help but he forgets.

Story continues from there.

Izumi sat on the grass and pouted. What am I going to do? I knew I shouldn't have relied on him!

Suddenly a notebook dropped in front of her. She looked up to see Kouji staring back down at her.

"That's my part and Junpei's part. I knew he wouldn't do it so I did it for him." He started walking away. "You can type it all up."

"Kouji!" Izumi said.

He stopped walking.

"I'm sorry for embarrassing you at the school yard at lunch time." She said quietly.

What happened next surprised her. He started to laugh.

"You embarrassed me? More like you embarrassed yourself. Your pathetic." He said and walked off.

She stared after him.

Junpei looked at both of them and turned red. "Kouji stop flirting with my girlfriend!!" he yelled.

"JUNPEI!!! SHUTUP!" Izumi said turning red. She was blushing but couldn't understand why.

She hit Junpei over the head with a hammer and ran home to finish the project.

When she was done she picked up the notebook Kouji had given her and blushed again. This was way weird.

She put it down and dropped on her bed and fell asleep.

Izumi dreamt that she was at school sitting in her desk but no one was there. Then suddenly the door opened and in came Kouji. He walked over to his seat and put his head down. His shoulders started shaking. He was crying! Izumi walked over to Kouji and tapped his shoulder. "Kouji?" she said. "Are you okay?" Kouji looked up and pushed her. His eyes were watering blood. Izumi gasped and covered her mouth. "Kouji!" she shrieked. "Yo-your eyes are bleeding!!" She stepped back. He whipped the watery blood away.

 "Don't talk about things you don't understand! Your pathetic!" he yelled.

 "I don't understand…Kouji…Why are you so against frying pans? What's wrong?"

 "Like I'll tell an airhead like you!"

"I'm not an airhead! I've changed! I have really! I've even been nice to Junpei!"

 "Yeah right."

"Please Kouji! Tell me! I've tried to say sorry to you but you just slammed my apology in my face! Tell me Kouji!"

All of a sudden Kouji disappeared and the walls in the room started coming in together. She tried to push them back but they were too strong.

"Help! Help! Help me Kouji!! Please!"

Izumi suddenly awoke with a start. It was just a bad dream, she told herself firmly.

She looked at her alarm clock. 6:00. She usually got up at 8:00. She lay back down on her bed but didn't feel like sleeping so got up and dressed for school. She went down stairs for breakfast and saw her mom sitting in the kitchen reading a comic book and laughing to herself.

"Good morning mom." She said and then walked to the fridge to get some milk.

Her mom suddenly put the book down and stared at Izumi in astonishment.

"Good morning? You've never said good morning to me since grade 6! And it's 6:20! You're awake already? Are you sick?" she got up and checked Izumi's forehead. "No…everything seems to be fine…is there something going on at school? Are you talking drugs? Are you being bullied?

"Mom!" Izumi said pulling away from her mom. "It's okay I'm fine. I was just saying good morning and I couldn't sleep because I had a nightmare so I just decided to go to school early."

"Oh." Her mother said going back to her comic. "Well have a good day at school Izumi! Take your jacket with you. It'll be cold today."

"I will. Bye." Izumi said as she left the house putting on her jacket.

When she got to school she noticed that only a few people were there but they're weren't people from her class so she decided to walk to the mini-mart to but a granola bar since she was still hungry.

She went into the store and found the bar.  She paid for the bar. She was munching on the bar as she walked out of the shop and suddenly bumped into someone and dropped her bar. "Shit." She said and then looked up to see that she had bumped right into Kouji.  He was staring at the bar then looked at her. "Sorry" he mumbled. "It's okay. I wasn't really hungry! It was just a snack…" she said as she stared longingly at the snack. "I'll replace it." Kouji said without any emotion. "No that's okay!" She said but he was already in the store buying one. "Here." He said lifelessly as he handed her the bar.

"Arigato…" she said as she took the bar without looking at him. "Ummm…Kouji…" she started but when she looked up he was crossing the street heading for the school. "Err…he doesn't even let me finish!" she said angrily.

~~**~~

"Alright class!" Ms. Akito said when the class settled down. "We are going to start with the project presentations right away because I have a whole new lesson planned for today."

The class groaned.

"So!" she said clapping her hands. "Who would like to go first? Billy? Jimmy? Sally? Anyone? Hmph! Fine. I'll pick who goes first. What about Mana, Amari and Kazu?"

"But Miss can't we go like second or something?" Kazu asked.

"No. Now get up here."

"But Miss." Kazu complained.

"Kazu!"

"But Miss…!"

"KAZU!!"

"Alright, alright." He said glumly.

While they were presenting their projects Izumi could only think of the dream she had about Kouji. "He was crying blood."

"He was what?" Junpei whispered from behind her.

"Don't be nosey Junpei." She hissed back.

"Who was crying blood Izumi?"

"No one!"

"No one was what?"

"No one was crying blood."

"Crying blood? Where did you get that from?"

"ERR!!!"

"Izumi! Please pay attention!" Ms. Akito snapped.

"But I…Junpei…was…oh forget it."

"Go on Mana." Ms. Akito said.

"Sorry." Junpei whispered to Izumi.

She sighed and thought about the dream again. He had told her not to talk about things she didn't know about. She wished that she could know what he meant. She sighed. He was just so hard and she didn't think that he'd probably want to tell her what's wrong. She sighed again and then she felt a tap on her shoulder and looked up to see Junpei and then she could hear the whole class laughing.

"So Ms. Orimoto! You've finally come out of your daydream!" Ms. Akito said.

"What?" Izumi asked.

"I've been calling on your group to present but you didn't seem to hear me. Would you like to tell the class about what you were daydreaming about?"

Izumi was silent.

"Was it so important that you missed your classmates presentation?"

Izumi looked at Sakura and Amari. They looked like they were angry with her.

"Sorry." She muttered.

"Now would you please go up to the front?"

"Yes…miss…"

Izumi walked up to the front with Junpei and Kouji. Izumi and Junpei did most of the talking while Kouji only said, "I did this part of the project. Izumi will explain it to you." After that Kouji kept quiet while Izumi explained and Junpei nodded dumbly.

"Good job. You must all have spent a great deal of time preparing for this." Ms Akito complimented.

Izumi coughed and few times at the comment.

"Alright next up is Jimmy's group."

Izumi walked over to her seat and sat down. During her presentation she noticed that Amari and Sakura weren't paying any attention to her groups presentation. Could they be angry with her for not listening to them while they were up? She hoped they weren't because the last thing she wanted right now was to lose her closest friends.

*RING, RING, RING, RING.*

It was lunchtime.

"LUNCH TIME!!" Kazu yelled.

"Kazu you're so immature." Izumi said laughing. Kazu laughed along with her.

"Leave him alone. He can be happy about lunch time if he wants to be." Amari said to Izumi angrily.

"Yeah." Sakura agreed.

"Huh? Oh I was just kidding around with Kazu."

"Hmph!" Sakura said and walked off with Amari.

Izumi watched them walk off. They were mad.

She sat with her friends for lunch but she didn't say anything while all the other girls chatted away happily.

She noticed Sakura and Amari sitting together laughing away. She remembered how Sakura and Amari used to fight over her attention and how annoyed she would get…but now she actually missed their brawling.

She decided to try and make casual convo with them.

"Hey do you guys want to go see a movie on the weekend?" she asked them.

"Umm…I think I might be busy then." Amari said.

"Yeah me too." Sakura said.

"Oh?"

"Yeah…you see Sakura and I are thinking about a sleep over on the weekend."

"You are? That's cool. I think my mom might--"

"Yeah umm…it's just me and Amari."

Izumi was shocked but controlled her facial expression.

"Oh yeah I know I was just going to say that I think my mom might be taking me to my cousins house that weekend too. So I'm going to be busy too."

"Oh cool." Amari said and then turned back to Sakura. "So what do you want to do first?"

"I was thinking maybe we could go to that new café down my street."

"Oh that's a great idea! You always think of the best things!"

"Your so sweet!"

"Well that's how best friends have got to treat each other."

Izumi felt like screaming right then and there but decided to play it cool then she heard Amari call Mana.

"Oh Mana do you want to come to Sakura's house this weekend for a sleepover?"

"Yeah sure" Mana replied.

Izumi stared at the three giggling girls. They kept glancing up at he from time to time so she knew they were talking about her.

She got up.

"Umm…I'm going to go for a walk. Take care of my stuff."

Sakura, Mana and Amari just kept on talking even though she knew they had heard her.

She walked around the school yard, which was pretty big and thought about her so called friends. They got mad at her just because she didn't pay attention to them for that one project! She noticed Kouji sitting with the boys in her class and then she saw Junpei look at her and walk towards her.

"Oh great just what I need…" Izumi mumbled to herself.

"Hi Izumi!" Junpei cried as he ran over to her. (He tripped 3 times before he reached her.)

"Hello Junpei…" she said.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Izumi looked over at her friends just laughing and giggling. She felt so left out and not wanted. Her lips started to quiver and she started crying softly right in front of Junpei. Junpei just stared at her and said, "Why are you making those funny noises?"

"I'm crying you fool." She said softly.

"Oh. Why?"

Izumi felt she had to talk to someone about this so she pulled Junpei towards a huge tree where they could talk in private.

"I'm crying because my best friends are angry at me for no reason at all! Just because I didn't listen to their project that one time they got angry and…and now they're going to have a sleep over without meeeeeeee!!" she bawled.

Junpei patted her shoulder and she looked up. There was softness in his eyes.

"You don't need friend like that if they're going to do that to you."

Izumi stared at Junpei. "I don't?"

"No. You can make better friends than them more easily. You got that air about you that makes you likeable to everyone."

"I do?"

"Well you do around me…"

"Oh Junpei…that's so sweet."

"You know what else you need?"

"No." Izumi said looking down as she wiped away her tears. "What else do I need?"

*RING, RING, RING*

"Oh it's the bell!" she said then looked up only to see Junpei leaning toward her with his lips all puckered out.

She screamed and then hit him over the head with a bamboo stick. "BAKA!" she yelled.

She walked away from Junpei, who was still lying on the ground and ran back to where the girls were sitting. She had told Amari and Sakura and Mana to look after her stuff while she was gone but they had already left and her things were just lying out in the open. She clenched her fists but then relaxed them when she remembered what Junpei had told her.

She picked up her stuff and ran into the school.

~~**~~

"Alright class. I'm changing your seating arrangements today."

Some people were happy about this but some people groaned.

Izumi was one of the happier people. She wouldn't have to sit in front of Junpei and always feel like she was being watched.

"Izumi don't worry. I don't think Ms. Akito will separate us because she knows how we feel about each other." Junpei said.

"Shut up." She said calmly.

"I want everyone to arrange their desks so that your desks are in pairs and then stand over at that corner of the wall with your things." Ms. Akito instructed.

Everyone did as they were told. Izumi stood beside Arika, a friend of hers. She watched Amari, Mana and Sakura giggle.

Why are they always giggling? They look so gay! She thought to herself.

"Alright everyone. I have put two of the same numbers in this hat. If you get the same number as someone else then you sit beside that person. Got it? Okay." Ms. Akito said.

Izumi hoped that she wouldn't have to sit beside Junpei, Amari, Sakura or Mana. When Ms. Akito got to Izumi she put her hand into the hat and picked out the number 8.

I wonder who has 8. She thought.

"Does everyone have a number?" Ms. Akito asked.

"No I don't Miss…" Junpei said. "Mine's just blank."

"Look on the other side boy!" she snapped.

"Oh. Hey I have number 2! Do you have number two Izumi?"

"What???? YOU Have number two???? Noooooooooo!!!" Kazu cried.

"What's wrong Kazu?" Junpei asked.

"I have number two as well!!" he moaned.

"Alright! Enough with the drama! I'll start calling out the numbers. Number 1."

"Here!" Two girls chorused and then sat at their desk.

"Number 3." Another two people went. Soon Ms. Akito was at number 7. "Number 7."

Amari and Sakura both went and sat beside each other. Izumi noticed Mana pouting.

"

"Number 8."

"Here." Izumi said.

Izumi walked up and found that Kouji was standing beside her. He was also number 8!!

Izumi gulped as they both went to their assigned seats.

Izumi tried not to look at Kouji but found herself staring openly at him. She quickly turned away when Ms. Akito said, "Everyone has been assigned to their partners. I want you all to take out your Reading text book and turn to page 55."

Izumi did so. She noticed that Kouji just sat in his desk drawing an Anime person on it.

"Everyone read the story on that page. You will get a quiz on it in 10 minutes and you will not be using the book for reference." Ms. Akito said as she took a bite out of the apple Junpei gave her.

Izumi noticed that Kouji wasn't reading at all and there was going to be a quiz!

"Did you forget your text book at home Kouji?" Izumi whispered.

"No."

"Then why aren't you reading? Didn't you hear Ms. Akito?"

"I heard her."

"But…"

"Go back to reading or else you might not finish in time."

"Oh." Izumi said and went back to reading.

Izumi just finished when Ms. Akito said, "Put your books away. Quiz time!"

"But-but I'm only on the second sentence Miss." Junpei complained.

"To bad, so sad." Ms. Akito said handing out the quiz. "You have 20 minutes to complete the questions."

There were 10 questions. Izumi started right away.

She noticed Kouji actually doing the test even though he hadn't read the book. He should have read the book! Izumi said to herself.

20 minutes later.

"Hand in your quiz!" Ms. Akito said. "And Kazu stop trying to cheat from Junpei's paper…it's not worth your time."

The classes handed in their quizzes and were allowed 10 minutes to talk to each other while Ms. Akito marked the quizzes.

"How did you do your quiz if you didn't even read the story?" Izumi asked Kouji.

"It was easy."

"Yeah right!"

"I'll probably get a better mark than you and everyone in the class."

Izumi snorted lightly. "We'll see!"

She saw Kouji smile and felt all warm inside. What's wrong with you!!!???!!! Izumi asked herself. He's just smiling!!! Err!

Exactly 10 minutes later. (Wow the time goes by quickly! ^^)

"I've got the results class." Ms. Akito said handing out the quizzes.

"Wow and she finished in exactly ten minutes!" Kazu said loudly.

"Yes. I'm amazing aren't I?" Ms. Akito said.

Izumi and Kouji were handed their quizzes.

"8 outta ten." Izumi said. "What did you get?"

Before Kouji could answer Ms. Akito said. "Well you all did quite well. The class average was 7 out of 10. The highest mark goes to Kouji who was the only one to get 10/10. Good job Kouji."

Izumi looked up at Kouji who was smiling back down at her mockingly. "Wha…How?" she asked him.

"The second highest score was 9/10 and goes strangely enough to Junpei…" Ms. Akito said confused.

"YAY!" Junpei cried.

"This is so weird…you didn't even read the book and you got the highest score and Junpei was on the second sentence and got the second highest score!"

"I've read it before." Kouji said. "I've read all the stories in the book."

"WHAT??? There are over 100 stories and we only got the book yesterday!!!"

"So?"

Izumi was in shock.

"Izumi! Izumi what did you get?" Junpei asked.

Izumi heard Junpei from behind her and turned around. He was behind her! She didn't notice before but now she did. Junpei was seated right behind her with Kazu!"

"Nooo" she said to herself. "Not again."

"That's what I thought when I found out I was going to be sitting beside him!" Kazu said.

"What did you get Izumi?"

"8." She said.

"Oh! I beat you!!" Junpei said gleefully.

"Because you cheated off my paper." Kouji said calmly. "I saw you but decided to let it go this time."

"How did you know?"

"I could smell your vile breath from over my shoulder."

"Oh…But how come you got 10 and I got 9?"

"Because the first question was what is your name and you put down Bob."

"Oh! But Bob is my name." Junpei complained.

Izumi and Kazu sweat dropped.

Kazu moaned. "I have to go through this for the rest of the year!"

"I feel your pain." Izumi said understandingly.

"Thank you. I think I'll need all the support I can get if I'm going to have to sit beside him." Kazu said pitifully.

"Huh?" Junpei said stupidly.

"Nothing Junpei. Just sit quiet." Kouji said.

"HEY! I'm not taking that from you Kouji! First you come in here waltzing around like you're the best…then you try to steal my girlfriend. (At this point Izumi was blushing like crazy and Kouji just stared blankly at Junpei and Kazu sipped on his coke watching the drama unfold.) And…and now your gonna..gonna…" Junpei wasn't able to finish the sentence because Izumi's hammer had knocked him out.

"Aw it was getting good!"  Kazu complained.

*RING, RING, RING.*

School was finished.

"Yes!" Kazu said gathering his things and racing out the door and then came back inside and started jogging in front of Kouji's desk, "Hurry up!! Hurry up!! I don't want to stay here forever."

Kouji gathered his things and then left with Kazu.

Izumi left too. She was walking home when Amari, Mana and Sakura surrounded her.

"Huh?" Izumi said.

"We hope you got the picture that we don't want to have anything to do with you anymore!" Amari said.

"Yeah I think I got that impression." Izumi said flatly.

"Don't be smart!" Sakura said.

"Why don't you guys just get out of my way so I don't have to look at your repulsive faces anymore?"

Izumi brushed past them but Mana caught her arm.

"You can't do that to us!"

"Don't be stupid guys! This is such a pointless fight! Why can't we just say sorry and forget about this? I mean this is sooo childish!"

"Shut up!" Amari said pushing Izumi.

Izumi dropped her bag and Sakura kicked it before Izumi could reach for it again and the three girls started giggling.

"You guys look so gay when you giggle." Izumi said.

The girls stopped and then looked at each other. They surround Izumi and smiled wickedly.

Izumi stared at Amari. Amari used to be so sensible but if they wanted to fight her then so be it.

~~***~~~

Uh-oh! What's going to happen now??

Will Izumi be able to defeat all three of the girls?
