FYI: I don't own Fruits Basket

Chapter 9

Lunch hour:

Hana, Tohru, and Uo were silently eating their food. None of them had spoken a word to each other today, since all three of them were late. Tohru spoke first. "I'm sorry, Uo"
"For what?"
"For yesterday! I should've told you about my date with Kyo before class started"
Uo shook her head. "It's my fault. I came here way later than usual yesterday. And you wouldn't have screamed it in class by accident if I heard you the first time" They continued to argue on who should really apologize when Hana spoke. "Well, I think it's no one's fault" "What?" said Tohru and Uo.
"In my opinion, there's a reason for everything. I think that reason is destiny"
"Well, you have a point," said Uo.

They continued eating lunch when Hirotsu and Kyo passed by, "Hello, ladies" said Hirotsu, "How's my lovely escort today?" "Just fine, thanks" replied Uo. He noticed Kyo wandering. "Kyo-Kyo, you could show some manners to your girl!" he said. The cat looked at Tohru and smiled. "Can't wait until tonight?" he asked. She shook her head and smiled back. The two guys left. The two girls swooned.

Hana smiled. Her seeing them happy made her feel the same way. "Oh! Hana, Yuki said he spoke to the principal this morning. You don't have to volunteer anymore!" said Tohru. "Hey, now you don't have to show up" said Uo "Unless of course, you want to come, right?"
"I guess" Hana replied.
"But Hana, how did Yuki know about it in the first place?" asked Tohru. Hana stared at her blankly. Obviously, Yuki never told Tohru about his rendezvous last night. "We just happened to see each other last night", she said.

Class:

Hana, Tohru, and Uo were in Mr. Kochitsa's room with Kyo. Tohru was obviously talking to her date. Wouldn't you do the same thing if your date were the room? Uo walked over to Hana, who was staring out the window. "Hey" she said, "You've been awfully quiet today, even for yourself"
"And?"
"Are you thinking about having your first dance if you come?"
"Well…not really, but if I do come, I am considering one person I'd be with on my first dance"
Uo raised an eyebrow. "Really? I didn't think you'd like anyone in school"
"I guess you didn't think hard enough"
