Disclaimer: I don't own GOKUSEN because its story is fantastic. It will just stink if I owned it.

Author's note: I enjoyed writing the first one and here is the next chappie. I never thought that writing a fanfiction would be this fun even if I had a hard time. I really love it. I just really have to work my vocabulary. This chapter is based with my own experience when I'm thinking of the person I admire and I never expect something in return. Just a bit hurt when he talks about the one he admires truly. But the one I'm talking about is not my teacher but another normal high school student just about my age. I put my ideas in Shin's imagination.

Chapter 2: The Realization

He was by his window staring at the night sky. 'Yankumi'. He smiled at the mention of her name. He realized how cute her nickname was. He has been thinking about her these past weeks. He was even surprised when he found himself not thinking about Misaki. He was even more surprised when he found himself thinking of his…teacher… but not as a teacher but someone else.

Her smiles, the way she looked at him, how her voice penetrates his soul… everything about her. She had her very convincing eyes that always stuck him into his place. Her words of wisdom were pasted thoroughly in his mind. She is the person who did much change in his life. The only 'adult' who gave him so much care. Her concern to all of them is just incredible. She always gets to the rooftop just to tell him that classes are starting and how she chases class 3-d whenever they get into trouble. She's cute indeed.

She looks funny and cool with her yakuza moves and her devilish stare that could immediately turn a person down. Just exclude that pale tracksuit, pigtails and dumb glasses and she'll look just fine. He smirked to himself with that thought.

I love her the way she is. I love her just because she is just herself. She is not like the others that were trying hard to be noticed. She was just plain and simple. Just my true type of girl.

He always acts at school as if he doesn't care for his teacher but as soon as the classes were done, he just finds himself with her and listening to her. It is more fun that going to karaoke with his friends. He thinks that she understands all the situations and has the solutions to all the problems in earth. She was always there to help him; he is always open to her. More about the personal things that he knows an adult knows much-things that he never even revealed to his friends because they wouldn't understand him. But there is one thing that he really got pissed of when he is with Yankumi-when she talks about Shinohara. Argghh… that guy really pisses him off.

I don't know if she likes me or not, but I'm pretty sure she loves me… as her student. She cares for me… as her student. She thinks of me… as her student. She is concerned to me… because I'm her student and I'm her obligation.

He quickly got his notebook and wrote a song about his great teacher…

Oh well, yeah teacher… just my teacher… he kept in his mind the word 'teacher' but I don't want to be just her student and just my teacher… I want something else…

He began to write the first line but he quickly tore the page because he can't get her out of his mind. So he just let her stay in his mind for the day because if he'll continue to ignore the shout of his mind, he will get himself a headache just like the other days.

Every night with the loneliness in his apartment, he always imagines Yankumi knocking at his door and having something in her hands. She is the one that first enters his mind when he gets up in the morning and the last thing that he thinks before he gets to sleep.

Yankumi was again staring at the picture of Class 3-D. Her sight was caught by the guy that stood right beside her. She felt sorry for him… she felt bad for him.

She realized too that the same thing happened to her with Shinohara. But Shin must have experienced worse. He's still young and not used to those kinds of problems. She felt closer to him this past few weeks and she knows how sincere he was.

His eyes with passion, you can always see the truth behind them. It's easy to tell if he's lying or not, if something's wrong with him or none. He has always been open to her; she was always been open to him. They kept nothing to each other. They trust each other like the rest of 3-D. She was indeed his best friend; he was her very best friend.

She admired his calmness and his self-control. He knows how to adjust in every different situation; how to act in each of it. He knows how to show his anger, when to show his gratitude and cheerfulness and where to show his different kinds of emotions. He is always calm and cool.

He is much more special than the rest of the 3-D. Perhaps, he was more of a younger brother to me.

She was thinking of Shin the whole night. Shin, her student. Just her student. Nothing else.

Just like Shin thinking of Yankumi, Yankumi was thinking of Shin to before she went to sleep.

They have been thinking of each other, but each has different perspectives. They see each other as another different person, but not as the other thinks.

Shin was about to run and get over Kuma when he noticed a girl in her ponytails. His day today was starting very good. He decided to just catch up with her instead of Kuma.

"Yankumi!"

"Sawada, you're in a nice mood today." She said with a big grin on her face.

"Of course." 'Because I saw you again.' His mind revolted.

Oh god… I'm having this weird feeling again whenever I'm with her.

"Oi, Sawada. What's wrong with you? I just thought you are in a good mood today." She frowned a little when she noticed that Shin is uncomfortable.

It's nice to know that he has recovered from that Misaki incident. Is it about another girl that's why he is the good mood?

She had a slight frown on her face when she imagined another girl rejecting him again. His heart will be bursting any minute. Or in any instances, he might be successful this time and et himself a new girlfriend. She doesn't like any other girls to get near Shin. She doesn't want him to be away from her.

Oh! That's not right. Shin has a right to love and o be loved. But that girl must not dare to get Shin away from us. Hmphhh….

Her thoughts was interrupted when Shin stated talking to her.

"Uhmm… Yankumi, can I invite you tonight? We have some gigs today in a place near Kuma's. Actually… Its our first gig since we started that band." Sawada asked her timidly not showing the nervousness that filled him. He's always like that acting so cool and calm. He's always expressionless.

"Oh! I'd love too. I'll be cheering for all of you. I'll be your number one supporter." She imagined her students singing and playing music as the entire people jump up and down and cheering their names. She giggled a bit with that thing on her mind.

"So, I'll catch you up later guys! Good luck." She waved at Shin as she ran through the gate when she heard the bell ringing.

Shin followed her until she reached the teacher's quarters. He kept his best not to be noticed by people that he sneaks up on her. He looks like he is afraid that something might happen to Yankumi since she is so clumsy. When he made sure that nothing happens to her, the corner of his lips curved upward as he walked to his own classroom.

A/N: This one is pretty short. That's all for now. I'm still working for the next chapter. I'm having a hard time in writing this because I really don't know how to express the ideas on my mind. I really have a poor vocabulary so please, just try to understand my stupid English… Well I think everybody experiences admiring a person, just a part of being normal… I haven't got any further than admiring a person… hehe…
