Chapter 1: School Days...
"Ran, wake up!" a girl shouted. "One more minute..." "But we're gonna be late! It's already 7am!" "Seven?" the girl quickly went to the bathroom and brushed her teeth then take a quick bath. "Hurry up!" the other girl with long black hair said. "Okay! I'm almost finished!" In a moment, the door opened. She quickly changed into her school clothes and fixed her short 'orange' hair then grabbed her brown school bag. "Let's go!" the girl with long black hair shouted. They quickly went inside the house. The two ran as fast as they could for them not to be late. "We're already late!" "Okay... so it's my fault... if I just woke up early, we could've..." "Ran, watch out!" the other girl shouted. Suddenly, Ran crashed onto a man with jet- black hair and like the same age as theirs. "Ouch..." Ran quickly stood and looked at the guy she crashed into. "You should look at your way you...you..." Ran tried to say. "Let's go! We're late already!" her friend said as she grabs Ran's hand and went straight to their school.
----
Ran opened the classroom door. "Ms. Kotubuki! You're late! Oh! And ms. Tsujimoto too! I can't believe you're late too! You're an honor student yet you're late!" the teacher shouted. "But we're just a minute late! That's why there's a saying: it's better late than never" Ran argued. "But you're still considered late! So stand up at the hallway!"
----
I can't believe I'm doing this... I can't believe I'm actually standing in the hallway, holding this bucket full of water" "Gomene, Aya... it's all my fault..." "Hey Ran, it's that guy... that guy you bumped into..." Aya said. "Oh, yeah... the guy who didn't looked in his way..." "Actually, it's your fault..." "Hey! He's going straight to our classroom!" "Then he's our new classmate... that insensitive guy" "Actually, Ran, he's kind of... cute" Aya said as Ran notice her blush. "Kawaii? He's not... I think he's too serious" The two peeked at their classroom and saw him standing in front of the whole class. "Oh class, by the way, he's your new classmate now so make him comfortable." The teacher said. "Please introduce yourself to everyone" "I'm Hanazawa, Rei... I came from Nagoya, Japan, and I studied at Nagoya University". "He's cute," the female students murmured. "Hey, you're a model in a magazine!" a girl exclaimed. "Yeah! I heard he's a popular model in Nagoya". "He's cute..." Aya murmured. "Whatever... hey, there's a coin on the floor... "Ran picked the coin up. Suddenly, the pail fell at Ran's head. "Are you alright?" "Yup, I'm just soaking wet here." "On the very first place, why did you place the pail in your head?" Aya asked.
----Dismissal time----
"Ran, let's go to the new karaoke bar here." Her classmate said. "Sorry, Yuuya, I'm going to the mall with Aya! Maybe tomorrow!" Ran explained. "Ikuzo, Aya" "Wait, Ran! I want to introduce you to my childhood friend, Rei" Yuuya said. "Rei?" Aya repeated. "Please make it fast 'cause the mall is closing at eight." Ran said. "Rei!" Yuuya shouted. Rei looked at them and went near Yuuya. "Rei, these are Ran and Aya. They're our classmates too." "Nice meeting you, Rei" Aya said. "Yeah, nice meeting you" Ran repeated. "Oh, the girl who I bump into..." Rei said. "Oh, about that... we're sorry about it." Aya said. "Let's go, Aya" "Bye, Rei... Yuuya"
----
"Hey, this is a great dress." Ran said. "Yeah... hey, Ran... don't you think Yuuya likes you?" Aya asked. "I don't know" "Well, it's kind of obvious, so..." "Aya... do you really like Rei?" "Yeah, but he's too perfect for me... a model... a handsome guy..." "No, you're too perfect for him. A role model student, a smart girl...you two are a perfect couple" Ran said as she take a pink dress on a shelf. "Hontou?" "Yeah, but why don't you tell him what you feel?" "But, isn't it too early to tell him? I mean... we just met him" "Oh, right, but if I were you, I will tell him right away" "Oh, that's so forward of you..." "Come on, I'll pay for this dress here."
----
The bell rang at Tokyo high. "Okay, class... it's a new day for us" the teacher begun. "Now, open your books at pages 218- 223." He added. "Oh... I forgot my book at home!" Ran shouted. Then the teacher stopped talking. "Oh, sorry..." "You can share with me." A guy said as he offered her to share his book with her. It was Hanazawa, Rei- the new student at their class. "Oh, thanks..." "Ne, Rei..." Ran started. Rei looked at her. "Are you really a model? On a magazine?" Rei just nodded his head- still looking at the teacher. "So it's true...why did you went to Tokyo high?" "I don't know..." "Do you have a girlfriend?" she continued. "No...um, is this an interview?" Rei asked. "Oh... sorry... but I'm just asking."
----Hours Later----
"Class, I would like to inform you all that we're going to a camping trip next month at Camp Himalayas at Himalayas province. So, here is a letter to inform your parents about the trip. So, let your parents sign this up." The teacher announced. "Camping trip?" Aya repeated. "Yes! This trip is gonna be great!" Ran shouted. "Yeah..." Aya said as she looks at Rei.
----Lunch Time----
"Ran, can we seat there?" Aya suggested. "Okay" They sat at the bench and begin eating their lunch. Suddenly, Ran saw a girl running and heading in their way. She has a blonde hair and the same age as theirs. "Hello, Ran and Aya! I missed you two!" she shouted as she hugs them. "Who are you?" Ran asked. "You don't know me?" the girl said as she let them go. "Oh, I see...because of my hair... I'm Miyu Kanzaki...the second member of the super gals!" Their eyes widened. "Oh... Miyu! We missed you!" Ran shouted. "We didn't recognize you because of your short hair." Aya said. "Why didn't you go to school earlier?" "Because... I have something important to do..." "Oh... what section are you?" Aya asked. "Unfortunately, I'm at section 3A, so I won't be with you guys." "Oh... but that's okay... we can see each other during break time and dismissal, right?" "Yeah..." "Um... Miyu... did you already heard about Hanazawa, Rei?" Aya asked. "Hanazawa, Rei? He's a famous model!" "He's our classmate" "Hontou? I will have his signature later!" "Miyu, Aya already has a crush on him." Ran said frankly. Aya blushed on what she said. "Oh, is that so? Well, I have a different crush..." Miyu said. "Well, you, Ran... do you have a crush?" "Me? No... time for that." "What do you mean no time for that?" Aya asked. "I mean, we should have fun first. That's why there's a saying: Fun Before Boys" "You mean... Books Before Boys" "Whatever... so, Miyu, are you going too on the camping trip?" "Oh... about that...sure... it'd be fun, right?" "Yeah... we'll be there for about... one whole week ""One whole week... with boys? Oh, yeah!" "Yeah... with boys" Aya repeated.
----Dismissal Time----
The bell rang. "Come on, Aya... come with us to the mall" Ran said. "Gomen... but I have a research to do at the library." Aya said. "Okay... but come with us tomorrow, okay?" Miyu said. "Sure." "Bye, Aya!" Then Ran and Miyu left. Aya took a deep breath. Then quickly went to the library. She looked at the shelves of books and found what she's looking for. "Here it is...'Romeo and Juliet'" She scanned the pages of the book on her hand. 'Why would our English teacher wants me to research this for her? Could it be that Mrs. Suzuki wants to have a play at school?' she thought. "I could be Juliet... and Rei could be Romeo...' Aya blushed at this thought. "Um... Ms. Sanada..." a guy called. Aya looked at him. "Oh, Rei... what are you doing here?" she asked. "Just researching something." "Researching? Researching what?" "Um... Romeo and Juliet... Ms. Suzuki asked me to research on it..." he explained. "Oh..." 'Ms. Suzuki wants him to research on it too... Could it be really that...' Aya thought then she begins to blush again. "Here... take this book..." "But how about you?" he asked. "I'll just find a new one." "Oh... okay, thanks, Ms. Sanada" "Um... just call me Aya" "Okay... I'll remember that." Rei took the book then left. "romeo and Juliet..."
----Next Day----
"I'm so lucky that I met him yesterday at the library... and we're both looking for 'Romeo and Juliet' book... I'm wondering if he's Romeo." Aya said. "You're so lucky, girl... I wish something like that would happen to me too... but not on the library... maybe the mall." Aya said. "Speaking of mall... you would come with us today, right, Aya?" Ran asked. "Sure..." "Hey, why is there a long line here?" "Let's go check it out." The three went in the room and saw Mrs. Suzuki there. "What is going on here, Mrs. Suzuki?" Miyu asked. "There will be a play here. It will be 'Romeo and Juliet'." She explained. "And Rei will be playing Romeo." "That answers the question." "So that's why every girl in this school went here just to audition for the play... just to be Juliet..." Miyu said. "You better hurry now, Aya" Ran said.
"Ran, wake up!" a girl shouted. "One more minute..." "But we're gonna be late! It's already 7am!" "Seven?" the girl quickly went to the bathroom and brushed her teeth then take a quick bath. "Hurry up!" the other girl with long black hair said. "Okay! I'm almost finished!" In a moment, the door opened.
