At Art, Houmura sat with his two best friends in the back, Shein and Zenon. The two people in the world he could trust. They knew all of his secrets.

After hearing the tale of woe, Shein gave him a pat on the back and wispered,"Hey, it could be worse. You could have to go to Nii's house."

Zenon sighed."At least he hasn't figured out that you like him, Houmura."

Homura groaned and pressed his hands to his face. A whole week trying to be mean to the guy he liked was going to hurt.

At cheer practice, the cheerleaders were taking a water break. Well, more like a diet soda break, but who cares?

As Hazel opened his can, he saw his little sister giving him a look. "What? Never seen a guy open his own soda before?"he joked.

His sister sighed."You're pretty calm, despite the fact you're bringing Houmura home."

Hazel took a gulp of soda, and sighed."Robin, I'm sure I can handle it. It's just a week, and I'm sure he won't want anything to do with me. Now, let's get back to work. Our timing needs to be perfect before the game Friday!"

Afte a long day, it was time to go home.

Houmura watched his bus pull away. He sighed, and started looking for Hazel.

If I were the head Prep, he thought, where would I hang out?

He looked at the gym doors. There, among his fans, was Hazel.

Houmura made sure his stony face was on good, and walked over there.

All the fans(male and female) made way for him to get to Hazel.

He sat down right next to him and looked at all the other Preps."Is this what you guys do for fun? Seems boring to me."

Hazel gave him a look."It was fun untill you showed up. What are you doing here?"

He looked at Hazel and smirked."Well, all of my friends have already left. So-"

Just then, the second wave buses pulled in.

Hazel rolled his eyes."Let's just go."

The bus ride was tense.

Who woudn't be, sitting next to your lifelong crush? Too bad Houmura didn't seem to like him.

Hazel noticed that Houmura's face never changed for the whole ride home.
