*We All Need Something to Believe In.

Asuka tried running after the girl but she got lost in the rush of students.

"Hey what's with the rush?" Sawatari asked as Asuka hurried down the halls.

"That girl you know the one that she said that she thought that love was real what was her name?"

"What oh her, Haneoka Meimi. Why do you want to know?"

"I don't know I was thinking about asking her out."

"What? Really sorry to say it man but she doesn't seem like she's your type." He answered surprised.

"So what do you think is my type exactly?"

"Well lets see the more out going yay school cheerleader type I don't know Haneoka just doesn't fit the normal description of what kind of girls you date."

"Well maybe its time I branched out or something." Asuka answered acting like it was some sort of community out reach program.

"Haha yea good luck but I don't think that your usual wine and dine strategy will work she doesn't seem like she is gonna fall at your feet the way that everyone else does."

"Hey have I ever been turned down, Haneoka Meimi is just like the rest it'll take her less than a second to think about going on a date with me." He grinned but he had no idea just how wrong he was.

Lunch finally rolled around and Meimi went to sit in her usual spot outside Seira was helping out one of teachers so she sat alone in the quiet away from the noise of high school. Her peace was soon to be disrupted by a pair of familiar eyes.

"Hi Meimi do you mind if I sit here?"

She stared at him for a few seconds but shrugged her shoulders.

"Do what you like."

"Hey I think what you said in class was cool. I mean not enough to make me believe in love but I like the way you said it." He tried breaking the ice with a complement but she just continued eating her food.

"Um well I came here cause I wanted to grant you the honor of going out on a date with me."

Meimi almost choked on her food but calmed herself for a second to swallow.

"Like oh my gosh the totally hot Asuka Jr. just like asked me out. This is like the best day in my life. Ahh like I totally need to go shopping and buy like something totally super for our date."

Asuka smiled at her this was the usual reaction that he received from girls. He was about to tell her the details when she did something he didn't expect.

"Forgive me if I don't throw a parade. But do you really think that I am gonna go anywhere with you. You have a better chance of asking a nun out than you do with me thanks but no thanks I'd rather have some dignity left."

With that she got up and headed back towards the school building. Asuka stared at her retreating form in shock.

'Did I just rejected? No that's not possible. I don't smell funny I don't have anything in my teeth do I. Ah I know what it is she's playing hard to get of course. Ok I can play that game when I'm done with her she'll be begging me to go on a date with her.'

Meimi went into her next period thankfully the room was empty and she let out a long sigh.

'Grr what's wrong with that guy. He's ignored me for years then all of a sudden he wants to go on a date with me. Do I look like all those other airheads that he dates geez.'

'Don't you wonder what it would have been like though?' Her mind asked.

'What no of course not. How could you think that I would ever want to go out with someone that self absorbed.'

'Hey you thought about it not me.'

'Grr I hate him he's making me talk to myself.'

People began filtering into class and someone sat next to her who she suspected to be Kyoko or Ryoko but next to her was Rina.

'Great now he's sending his friends.'

"Hi I don't want to be rude or anything but if Asuka sent you I really don't want you to be bothered with something that he should handle."

"Oh well he didn't send me but this is regarding him I just wanted to congratulate the first girl to turn him down." She answered smiling and stuck her hand out. Meimi took her hand and shook it.

"Um thank you I guess."

"Haha no problem but can I ask. Why did you say no?" She wondered she knew that one day someone would turn him down and she had to know why.

"I don't know. He's so arrogant and he used the word honor to describe his asking me out. He acted like he granted me some sort of wish and I guess the whole thought that he really doesn't believe in love bothers me a bit." She ended sighing.

"Yea I guess that his ego can be hard to handle but he is really nice and a great friend. Maybe you should give him a chance find out more about him like why he's given up on love. Plus from what I've heard he plans great dates so you might have fun and even if you don't its free food!"

"Haha, I guess that I should think about it a little more then. Thank you."

Meimi flopped on her bed the walk home did nothing to clear her mind of the green eyed goblin. She giggled at her new nickname for him. But she had to admit that his eyes were his best feature and maybe if the situation was different she could imagine herself staring into his eyes forever but that wasn't the case. What she had had on her hands was a arrogant but persistent Asuka Jr. who didn't seem like he would give up. During her last period he had sent the entire glee club to send her a singing telegram asking her out. She never saw a group so sad after she told him to sing back to him "Get lost stalker." Despite how annoyed she was it was kind of a sweet gesture. So here she was laying on her bed home to find some comfort in her sleep where she wouldn't be able to think about him but then her phone rang.

"Hello?" She tried to answer politely despite her irritation.

"Ahh hi my beautiful Meimi."

"Oh gosh how did you get this number Asuka?"

"Let's just say I have friends wave at them they are right outside of your house."

"What?"

"Haha joking. Well since my singing telegram didn't work I thought that I would try again. So will you go out with me?"

"No."

"Why what did I do wrong now?" This really wasn't working the way that he expected it to.

".Ok fine you asked well lets see your not terribly unfortunate looking or anything but I just don't know if I can go out with someone who I probably won't ever have a future with. I mean what's the point? You go on dates but that's it its not like you really care about the future or what could possibly be a lasting relationship. So say we went out that's it you'll just go out with the next girl that intrigues you and then the next so its pretty much just a waste of time."

"So you think that I'm cute."

"Argh yea and that ego of yours I don't know how you can fit it in that body."

"Haha I'm just kidding. But see the way I see it is that you can't worry about the future too much cause you know nothing about it. But you obviously don't want anything to do with me and I know that I'm not looking for anything serious so we'd just go out and have fun. You do like to have fun right?"

"Yes of course but I don't know I've heard a lot of things about you."

"Come on I've heard a lot of things about me too. Just cause people say it doesn't mean that its true maybe you can learn a little more about my good qualities. From what I've heard I'm a great kisser."

"Gahh just when I think that you are getting serious, ok you know what I am going to do if you promise to get rid of my number I'll think about it ok?"

"Alright I guess that I can't expect much more from you but think about it ok I think that we could have a great time Stone Heart Meimi."

"What, you know when you want a girl to go out with you, you normally try to complement them you green eyed goblin and besides who's the one that doesn't believe in love."

"So you like my eyes?'

"Ahh forget it go burn my number I need to take a nap."

"Have sweet dreams about me Stone Heart."

"Play on the freeway Green Goblin."

And with that Meimi hung up the phone and despite her efforts the smile one her face wouldn't go away. And before she fell asleep the thought that rang through her head was.

'Maybe.'

*Hehe I liked writing this chapter. So yea maybe Asuka is wearing Meimi down but she's not going down without a fight.uh yea next chapter I'll have her answer is it yes or no well here's a clue if it was no then this would be a really short story. Hehe so if it tickles your fancy review and if not well review later haha =-) Well till next time have a terrifico day!
