When Love and hate collides;

the rehearsal

"This is not real! no not real, just a nightmare." Miyu said as she rolled around her bed as she thought about the day before. "krrrriiiingg!" Miyu's alarm sounded through her head waking her up. Miyu woke up and made herself think that it was just a nightmare. So as usual, she took a bath, wore her school uniform and ate breakfast. She slowly opened her door and peeked if a Kanata-look-alike would appear. She averted her gaze at every corner of the whole 3rd floor to see any signs and found no one. A sigh of relief escaped her mouth. "Thank goodness." She was about to get out but the door in front of her opened and there, her worst nightmare came true. "Morning." Kanata said as he walked towards the stairs, wearing the boy's uniform at their school.

"Hey Miyu, are you alright?" Aya said as she stared at Miyu worriedly. "What's wrong with her?" Megumi asked as she shook Miyu's head back and forth. "Miyu, wake up"

"I've never seen her like this before---hey wait. She was exactly like this the first day she entered this school."Aya said placing her finger under her chin as she remembered the time Miyu seemed strucked by something. "Hey, maybe she fell in love with Kanata"

"WHAT! No way, that jerk? th-that arrogant dog! never. I'll be willing to marry anyone else even a crazy man... just not him!" Miyu exclaimed looking terrible. "Hey calm down, I think you're over reacting... we know you're not at the case of falling in love this time Miyu." Aya assured. "That was harsh Aya, No one could live in this world without love."

"whatever"

After that, all they could hear were shouts and frenzies from the girls of the class. The door was slowly opening and Miyu seemed dreadful as she watched the door slowly opening and little by little, revealing her worst nightmare.

"KANATA!" they all screamed as he came into view. Miyu dug her head on her desk not wanting to see the dog. "argh, I hate dogs." As soon as Kanata arrived, their prof. arrived in too. "I don't think I could handle two nightmares at a time."

"Okay class, as you can see, Kanata here came back. He's fine, well... and we hope, enthusiastic. So Ms. Kuzuki, I'm warning you." The professor said as he directed his gaze towards her. "I would wish him not to be well, fine and enthusiastic. I hope he's a decomposing skeleton right now." Miyu said to no one particular as she scrutinized him. Kanata had to squint his eyes as he felt a black aura coming from Miyu.

"So Kanata, you may take your seat at the vacant chair in the middle." Hopefully, he hadn't got to seat at the empty chair behind Miyu.

"Oh, look at them.. aren't they sweet?" Megumi said as she gazed at Christine and Kanata eating lunch together. "Finally, some peace." Miyu said as she layed down her head on the eating table. While laying down her head and not paying attention to Aya and Megumi's conversation, she stared closely at kanata and Christine and found out that Christine's making kanata eat almost all of the food. "Eat all you can...hehe."She laughed evilly at him as he busied himself chewing the foods that Christine was stuffing inside his mouth. This was great... no do-- "ACHOOO!" Miyu sneezed loud enough for Kanata and the others to hear. "Ugh... Soey" She said instead of saying sorry. Then there, she noticed that Kanata was grinning victoriously over her.

From that time on, she didn't stop from sneezing.

"So you consider yourself a dog?" Kanata said behind her. "Wha! why are you he---hic--A-ACHOO!" unfortunately, Miyu hadn't got the time to cover her mouth and sneezed in front of Kanata, face on. "That's what I call Ill-mannered"

"Get lost you arrogant dog! much less, go back to the hospital and sleep forever!" Miyu stormed away from Kanata... not wanting to see his face any longer.

"Hey Miyu, Have you known Kanata ever since?" Megumi asked turning her chair around to face Miyu. "Never! And until now I don't know him!"

"Well, it seems like you and Kanata had a very huge fight before that until now, you hadn't forgiven him yet." Aya concluded looking at Miyu curiously. "Maybe. he's just my mortal enemy that since birth we're destined to hate each other. And, my zodiac sign tells that I shouldn't be friends with Dogs!" Both Aya and Megumi stared at her wondering whom she meant by dog. The conversation would've moved on but the door suddenly opened and there came in their homeroom teacher.

"It's english isn't it? but why is that stinking old man here?" Miyu asked. "Maybe he loves teaching us." Aya said in response.

"Attention class, Mr. Natsumi couldn't be with you at the moment since he was called in sick. So since, you don't have any teacher and your play is a part of your english curriculum, 3rd yr. students were asked to go to the gym right now and practice for the said event."

"What!" Miyu exclaimed after hearing Mr. Old man's speech. "What's the matter Miyu?"

"UH... nothing...ehehe."

"Miko! You've got to do it right!" Megumi shouted sending a flying fan towards Miko. "Hey Megumi calm down... we're just practicing for 2 weeks. You can't expect him to be that perfect actor you know." Miyu said looking over Miko who looked quite pitiful. He was Miyu's partner and he was receiving the same kind of treatment from Megumi for the whole 2 weeks of their practice.

"Take 10!"

"get out of here!" Miko taking part as the prince said looking at Miyu who was looking at him unbelievably. "Shiro! what happened to you? You can't possibly forget me!"

"Forget you? I don't even know you!"

"Shiro! we love each other... how could you forget that!"

"Love each other? we---- umm... we couldn't--- uhh" Miko scratched the back of his head striving to remember the next part. "Miko! That's the eleventh time for goodness sake!... ok I give up. I guess we should find another." Megumi decided since she was in charge of this play. "Oh thank goodness." Miko said in joy. he's been waiting for this for the whole rehearsal. "Seems like he's just waiting for you to change him Megumi." Aya said patting her shoulder in sympathy.

After that, Megumi was incredibly silent that Aya and Miyu feared that something will happen again... something bad. "I've got an idea! haha! I've already decided who'll take Shiro's part!"

"Who?" Everyone looked at her. "Kanata!"

"What?" Kanata averted his gaze towards her then towards Miyu. "NO WAY!" Miyu exclaimed. "And that's final."

"Then have Christine as the main character for that matter." Miyu said but Megumi shook her head and said. "Well, you've been quite fond of the part so better stick with you."

"No this isn't real! no way no way no way!" Miyu repeated over and over again until Christine said. "I'm willing to take it"

"Sorry Christine, we've asked you earlier but you declined."

"Oh.." Christine looked away disappointed. She should've taken it at the first place. "It's alright Christine." Kanata assured. placing his hand over Christine's shoulder.

"Megumi! I'm gonna kill you!..." Miyu said to herself on her way back home. "Do you literally talk to yourself?" Suddenly, Kanata appeared behind her. "As a matter of fact... yes." Miyu stared at him from the corner of her eyes. "Got a problem with that?" She added before heading off ahead. Kanata just sighed at her behavior, he could get used to this you know. "Hey! Why don't you and Christine walk home togethter?" Miyu surprisingly asked. "we're not together... so why would we?"

"Oh..."

"Don't tell me you're interested in me."

"You're really hopeless you arrogant dog!" Miyu said as she sped off.
