CHAPTER 6: Truth
NOTE: I don't own GALS! and thanks again for continuing to read my story! Arigato Gozaimashita, Minna! (",)
It was almost sundown and Miyu sat on a swing alone. Staring blankly at the grass. "Ms. Yamazaki." a guy said. Miyu looked at him. She found Mr. Mizuki carrying a bag full of food. "Oh... Sensei..." she murmured. "What are you doing alone? Why aren't you with Ms. Kotubuki and Ms. Hoshino?" he asked. "I don't know... I guess I don't feel like going with them." she explained. "You didn't told them your problem right now, right?" "I don't want them to worry about me... so..." Miyu tried to say. "It's not good to keep your problems inside your heart." he said. "You're right... but... I don't know anymore... they want me to choose between the two of them... where I want to live... My mother's side or father's side..." Miyu said as she started to cry. He placed the plastic down and went infront of Miyu. "It's just right for you to cry... you should take out your problems by crying... or it will remain inside of you forever." Mr. Mizuki explained. Suddenly, Miyu hugged him. "Thank you, Sensei... you're right, I shouldn't keep my problems to myself." she murmured. "Starting that day, I realized that he's not a teacher for me anymore... I suddenly realized that I always come and visit the science laboratory every dismissal time... so I decided to tell him what I really feel..." Miyu knocked on the door and let herself in. "Sensei!" she shouted. "I brought some food for you." she opened the second door and saw him staring blankly at the sky by the window. "Sensei, here's your okonomiyaki, your favorite." Miyu said as she place it on his table. "Oh, thanks." Silence. "Please it this before it gets cold. It's not delicious anymore if you'll not eat this now." she explained."You're like Yuuki..." he said. "Yuuki?" "Yes... she too is really shy and afraid to tell others what she feels... whether she's sad or lonely... but she's kind and helpful to others... that's why I can't forget her..." he said. "I really want her to be by my side always... but..." he remembered a girl being hit by a car. "I know I can't be like her exactly like her, but... I'm sure I have the same feelings as hers for you..." she said. "You're just confused with your feelings now." "No..." Miyu placed her hand on his right cheek and stared at him. "There's nothing wrong with loving someone, right? So why can't I love you?" Miyu asked. "The truth is... I do feel the same way about you..." "Hontou?" "Yes..." Miyu hugged Mr. Mizuki. She can't believe it. He loves her back...
----Next Day----
"We will meet Rei and Yuuya here." Ran said as she points at the carnival. "So, the two are already here?" Miyu asked. "Yeah, I called them yesterday." "Thanks, Ran." Aya murmured. "No problem... I really want you to tell him now what you feel about him..." Ran said. "Now, let's go have some fun!" she shouted.
----
"Here they are." Miyu said as she saw Rei and Yuuya approach them. "Thanks for coming here." "No problem... if it's for you, Ran." Yuuya said. "So, where would you like to go?" Rei asked. "No, you and Aya will not come with us, you two will spend time together." Ran said. "Let's go, Yuuya." 'At last! Alone with Ran!' Yuuya thought. "And Miyu." she continued. 'W- with Miyu? This is a chance of a lifetime, but...' The three then left, leaving Aya and Rei alone. Aya looked at Rei. The expression on his face did not changed. "Um, Rei..." "What?" "Would you like to go to a coffee shop?" she suggested."Sure."
----
Rei and Aya was very silent. They didn't said a word to each other. "I wonder what they are doing right now?" Rei started. "I bet they're having fun now." she said. Silence again. "Rei." Aya murmured. He looked at her. "I want to tell... you something." she said slowly as she started to blush. "I... like... you..." Rei was shocked on what came out of Aya's mouth. Did he heard her right?
----
"Let's go! There's many more rides!" Ran shouted. "Huh? Where's Yuuya?" Miyu scanned the place and found him near the trash can. "What are you doing there, Yuuya?" she asked. "Um... nothing... I just..." Yuuya continued to throw up by the trash can. "Next! The 'Anchor's away'!" Ran shouted. "Sorry Ran, but I..." but before Yuuya could continue what he was saying, Ran took his hand and went straight to the ticket booth. "Good luck!" Miyu shouted.
----
"I understand what you feel, but you don't want a guy like me that is self- centered." Rei explained. "Do you... do you like another girl?" Aya asked. Rei just looked at her.
----
It was already sun down and they decided to go home. "It was so fun in there! I wish we could go back there sometime again." Ran said. "Yeah... but I think Yuuya was not feeling very well when we got out of there." Miyu remembered. "How abot you, Aya? Did you had fun?" "Me? Yes..." she replied. Miyu saw their school was already near. "Oh... can you two wait here? I will just give Yamato these gummy bears." Miyu explained as she left. "I'm really glad for Miyu." Aya said. "She's already happy with sensei... Or should I say, Yamato?" she continued. "Yeah... and I think there's nothing wrong with their relationship." Ran said. "Why is love a gift for some people, but for some, it's not? I really don't understand. Why do I still keep on loving him when he don't loves me back?" Ran noticed that Aya was already crying. "Is it about Rei?" Ran asked. "Yes..." Suddenly, Aya hugged Ran tightly. "He said he likes someone! I know I shouldn't be like this and that I should accept this, but... my tears can't stop falling! I'm not mad at him... but I..." Ran looked at Aya and felt really sad for her."Aya..."
----Next Day----
The bell rang. It was already time for the students to go to their classrooms. "Shoot! I'm late again!" Ran shouted. "Almost there!" Suddenly, Ran's books dropped. "Shoot! Wrong timing!" Ran quickly picked all her books then continued running. But as soon as she picked all her books up, she suddenly bumped on someone. "Ms. Kotubuki!" the teacher called. "You're late again!" he continued. "Oh, no!" Ran saw the person's back that she bumped into. A guy with a red jacket. That was all that she saw because she was really on a hurry not to be completely late.
----Recess time----
"Aya didn't went to school today... wonder why she's absent." Miyu said. "Hey, Miyu, have you seen any guy here with red jacket and with black hair?" Ran asked. "There are many students here with red jackets... particularly the baseball club." Miyu explained. "Baseball club?" she repeated. "Why?" "Well... he bumped into me then didn't helped me. Besides that, he didn't even apologized. So, I'm gonna teach him a lesson to be a gentleman." Ran said.
----Dismissal Time----
Ran and Miyu walked through the baseball field and looked at the players. "Let's see... he is tall with black hair..." Ran said as she continue to look at the players one by one. "Tall? Black hair?... Oh, I see... Takamura, Shouji- sempai..." Miyu said. "I heard about him... he was always on the top students of 3- E. He's also known as the ace of our school." she added. Miyu looked at Ran and found her staring at Shouji. "He's the perfect guy! He's the perfect guy for me!" Ran shouted as her eyes glitters. Ran quickly run through the field and went straight to talk to him. "What is she doing?" Miyu asked herself?''
----That Night----
"So, what happened with you and Shouji- sempai?" Aya asked. "Oh, so Miyu said that already to you. Well, he said we could go out together some time to know each other well." Ran said. "I hope that you'll be happy with him." " Thank you... but, sure your okay now? Because of yesterday." "Yeah... Oh, it's already 9:30 pm... gotta go now... my parents will be mad at me if I stay here a minute longer... then, see you tomorrow." Aya said. "See you tomorrow, Bye!" The two placed their phones down. Aya lied on her bed and stared outside of the window beside her bed. Aya lied to her. She's not feeling well yet because of what Rei said to her yesterday.
----Next Day----
"So, who can answer page 13, number 4?" the teacher asked. "I don't know who the girl is... but I..." Aya thought as she turns the page. "Ms. Hoshino" the teacher called. "Hai" Aya quickly stood then went to the board and wrote the answer. "Very good." the teacher praised. "As she went on her seat, Aya saw Rei looking outside. She saw a girl by the window in P.E. She has shoulder- length hair and she realized that the girl was in class 3-B. "Rei..."
----Lunch----
"Where's Ran?" Aya asked. "She's with Shouji- sempai." Miyu explained. Aya looked around and found the girl in 3-B that Rei was looking at. She found her with her friends in the canteen. 'Their group was the bully on class 3-B... but... it seems that she is thinking about something." Aya thought as she looked at what she was staring to. A guy with black hair and not that tall. 'Takamura, Kazuki.' Aya saw Yuuya and Rei eating their lunch at the other table. She also saw Rei staring again at the girl.
----
"Please eat this too! This is delicious!" Ran shouted as she puts the sashimi on Shouji's mouth. "It's great!"Shouji said. "Um, you know... we should watch a movie together sometime." she suggested. "I don't know... I don't have time for that... you know, because of the baseball practice." he explained. "But promise me if you have time, we'll go together okay? Because, that's what boyfriends and girlfriends do. Go out together." Ran said. "Sure..."
----
"Class! I have an announcement for all of you." the teacher started. "You will be having your prom next Friday here at our school gym." he continued. Then the students started talking at each other. "Please settle down... now, please get your notebook and copy your homework." "Aya... psst! Who are you going with?" Ran asked. "I don't know... maybe I won't go after all." she said. "No... you should go." "Kotubuki and Hoshiro!" the teacher shouted.

It was almost sundown and Miyu sat on a swing alone. Staring blankly at the grass. "Ms. Yamazaki." a guy said. Miyu looked at him. She found Mr. Mizuki carrying a bag full of food. "Oh...
