Hi guys! Sorry I've been a bit...lacking in updates for this chapter but this one is complete...I don't have a set time table for this story but please note that all main/supporting characters will have atleast one chapter dedicated to their POV, if not two. Reminder that POV means POINT OF VIEW. Next Update Expected: 12/23/05


PLEASE REVIEW.

POV: Arisa

oO What are Tsukiko and Erika doing? I most definitely did not miss the dirty look Erika threw at Tsukiko when she paused from typing her inane and queer "diary log". Gosh, who keeps those things? I mean, come on, get to the 21st century with, what's this? Blogs?

Well, I can't be too much better. I'm writing something on my labtop right now too...haha. I suck.

Anyway, my son, Takito, is almost ten months old. Ogata's not at school today, bless his soul, he's at home with the baby while my father is away on a business trip. I've applied for forums to be homeschooled and those should come back to me with the approval from the administration (and mainly Koki's approval) within a week.

I'm so glad I'm in the group with Koki. How else would I be able to explain to the administration that I had had a baby with Ogata at such a young age? Only the people in the planting club knew about this. Thankfully, Koki will vouch for me. What a great guy he is.

I envy him. He can pick any girl he wants and do anything he wants to do. He has enough money to buy every dress in the mall for Tanpopo.

Sigh...

Oh well, Ogata's good enough for me. I love him so much. I'm really proud of him for accepting the duty to become a father. He does an amazing job of it. Even though we're almost sixteen, we live together in an apartment that our parents rented for us and we take care of the baby.

This morning I was in a rush and I ran out the door before he did. The Planting Club had called a meeting for something, though I didn't know what until later when found out it was something ridiculous. "What color looks better on Tsukiko when she puts flowers in her hair? What about Tanpopo's color?"

Bless his soul, Ogata stayed home. He called my cellphone later and told me that he'd watch Takito today. I felt unbelievably guilty but he reassured me that he "didn't feel like coming in today" and has "enough sick days saved up to last the rest of the year."

So, anyway, thats why he's at home. I wish he didn't do that, I miss him so much right now. Who am I going to sneak to the bathroom with, now? ;)

What? Don't look at me that way. We DO share an apartment, you know. It's not like we don't...do...

Okay, ANYWAY.

Yoji is overseas, Tsukiko and Flippy are xx+xy.

Oh wow. I have to stop that ASAP. XX+XY? WTF IS WRONG WITH ME?

Translation, they're both madly in love with eachother. Though...I never see Flippy show any emotion about anything...except the prospect of stabbing things with sharp and pointy objects. Oh well, she doesn't exactly have the most beautiful emotional aura around her either. She only liked Koki for his money at first. Hehe..

Annnyway, I'm sooo excited for our winter dance. Ogata and Koki we nominated for hottest guys in the class. Since it kept ending up being a tie, they're both going to represent our class when the festivities really kick off. Guess who get to be up there to celebrate this? Tanpopo and I! We weresoooo excited that we invited Tsukiko and Flippy to cut the tape which will officially start off the winter dance.

It's sounds like lots of fun. I'm super excited, as I should be. Tanpopo, Tsukiko and I are going out tomorrow to get our salon treatment. Tanpopo, at first, refused completely but now I think she's given in. Especially since Tsukiko said she'd pay for it. Aww...Poor Tanpopo.

She's really independant and I know she didn't want to take Tsukiko's money, even though we all know she could barely scrap by with tuition and apartment fees.

And the NERVE of Erika then proceeding to ask Tanpopo, sweetly, if she could come along too. What nerve. I can't believe that girl.

And Tanpopo, friendly as always, agreed. I wish she wasn't so naive and innocent that way. Erika is the one trying to break them up. Erika has no friends because she's a bitch. End of story.

Then again...before I met Tanpopo, I didn't have any friends either.

And yeah, I probably was a whore and a bitch. But...now I care about myself. Tanpopo taught me that and I guess she's out to save another soul. Gah.

She's just setting herself up for failure, I know it. Why can't she see through Erika's act? Feh...

Tanpopo's so simple-minded sometimes.

But I guess that's one thing I love about her. :)

FINITO! End of Chapter Three. Did you like? I may have portrayed her a bit OOC but it seemed to fit well with her. :) Don't forget to review, I read them all and I really apperciate them. They give me encouragement to continue this story!

LOVE, 5H4NN0N.
