A/N: I can't believe I'm kinda close to 50 follows! I 3 you guys, so heres another chapter!

Yoshiki paced down the corridor, frustrated from the events that had occurred two days. He had never imagined Ayumi would do such a thing, he literally walked in on them, on top of each other, practically about to kiss. And with Ayumi's sister in the back ground as well! There was no way that that could of been an accident in a million years. He still couldn't get his head round the fact of was Satoshi; Yoshiki thought he confessed to Naomi earlier. But people had their secret, which Yoshiki had a fair few, so it wouldn't be impossible for something like that to happen. He hadn't been to school since Tuesday, and hadn't texted back to Ayumi's messages that she had sent in worry. His head was too messed up to think about school, and seeing Satoshi was the last thing he wanted to do. Although they used to be best mates, Yoshiki could already feel him drifting away from him. Satoshi had even posted a picture online of him hanging out with a bunch of other boys in the class, and that hit him hard. Maybe him with Ayumi was just Satoshi hinting that he no longer cared for Yoshiki, as a friend anyway, and this was the end? Yoshiki hadn't regretted his reaction to the scene, since he thought surely everyone else would react the same way he did, wouldn't they? But then, he reversed it, and imagined what Satoshi would do if he saw him and Naomi like that. He would be understanding, and it would breeze over for him. Everything seemed to be so easy for Satoshi.

Satoshi didn't feel that way though. He had only spent time in with his other friends just to see if Yoshiki seemed to care, but he hadn't commented at all on the post. Did that mean his and Yoshiki's friendship was through, or were they still savable? Though an optimist, he couldn't help doubting it. Yoshiki hadn't turned up to school the previous day, and it didn't seem like he was returning the next day when Satoshi spotted that Ayumi was alone once more, with out the usual carefree blonde by her side.

"Hi Mochida-kun." greeted Ayumi, meeting him by the traffic lights.

"Hello," he replied, not really wanting to make conversation with the slight girl. However she seemed to get it, and quietly continued walking with out saying anything. She knew she and Yoshiki's relationship wasn't the only one put under strain by the accident, and that Satoshi seemed very upset by it, so it was best to say nothing. After the incident, she had gone straight over Naomi's, sobbing and seeking her feminine comfort. Naomi felt extremely sorry for the girl and was mentally cursing Satoshi for being so clumsy and causing the whole misunderstanding. Ayumi had rushed to explain it to her, and she had listened intently to her recount. Naomi had always been a listener, and often used to hear Seiko blabbing on about random things with at least, a little interest. However, she knew when her friends were upset, and that was why most of them came to her for advice. The two turned the corner, stopping by at Naomi's small home right next to school. Satoshi rapped on the door knocker, and waited patiently next to Ayumi outside the door.

"Hiya guys!" Naomi called, her cheeks rosy and a large smile on her face. She linked arms with both of them, determined to cheer them up since they were both in quite frankly either sad or bad moods. Satoshi felt his gaze meet hers, and his heart rate sped up, reminding him just how pretty Naomi was when she smiled. If Yoshiki was here now, he could just see how much Satoshi loved Naomi, and everything would go right back to normal.

"You know what, i think you guys need to patch this thing up with Kishinuma," Naomi advised, seriously. "Its only going to make matters worse for all of you."

"Yeah well its not that easy," muttered Satoshi.

"He hasn't responded to any of my texts and i've sent at least thirty."

"He just needs to cool of. It couldn't of been easy walking in on you too like that!"

"I guess..."

"But I love him and i'm scared that he'll never look at me the same way!"

"And i bet he hates me now!"

"Gosh guys!" shouted Naomi over their sorrowful speaking "Its not that disastrous you know! Its just a stupid misunderstanding that you just have to explain to him. There, done!"

"But what if he still hates us?" pointed out Ayumi.

"He doesn't hate you," Naomi told them knowingly, "However someone needs to go and tell him what happened!"

Naomi noticed two pairs of eyes staring in the direction of her. Ayumi and Satoshi clearly wanted her to do their work for them.

"What?!" she said, slightly annoyed "I wasn't there was I? One of you have to do it,"

Ayumi and Satoshi exchanged worried glances. Eventually Satoshi sighed, looked back up at the too girls.

"Fine, i'll do it. Don't blame me if he kicks off."

Naomi grinned approvingly at Satoshi, walking through the large iron school gates. She was about to say something to Ayumi, when a tall girl with orange pig tails approached her.

"Excuse me, class rep, i wanted to ask about the planned display in the art room?"

Ayumi threw the two an apologetic look as she was dragged away by the inquisitive girl. Being class representative did come with lots of responsibility, and that was something Ayumi loved. She rushed off in the direction of the art department, whilst Satoshi shook his head, laughing in the direction of her.

"Still the same old Ayumi!" he said lightly, actually coming into a better mood. Was it because he was finally alone with Naomi by his side? He didn't notice that Naomi was actually frowning at his comment. Sure, Ayumi hadn't changed that much in personality, but there was no denying that. Satoshi on the other hand, had changed a lot in her opinion. She couldn't really explain it, but the was something different about him. Most likely loss of confidence, she contemplated to herself. What about her, had she changed? She had no idea...

"Thanks Akemi!" called Ayumi has the ginger haired girl ran out of sight. She really did need to talk to her art teacher about updating the old displays, since they were old and in her opinion, not very good. Secretly she disliked Akemi's style, and hoped she could mainly put up her pieces of art. She was lost in thought trying to get some inspiration for the new board, when the sports teacher walked by her.

"Shinozaki, shouldn't you be in class?" he commented, making her scurry away. She sincerly hated that ugly man, but he was right, she was meant to be in history class right now, one of her favorite and best subjects. Hoping she wasn't too late, she grabbed her books from her locker and hurried up the stairs, bursting into her classroom. Luckily she was just in time for the register, but some eyebrows were raised when she did arrive. There were two nasty girls in particular, whispering and pointing at her as she was the last to sit in her seat. She blushed out of embaressment, and took one quick glance to suss out who those girls were. Suddenly, she realised it was the two rude girls that had ripped up her spirit book earlier that month, and instantly felt anger rise up in her. She could already tell they were going to make it hard for her, especially since Yoshiki wasn't with her today so they weren't going to be scared of hurting her. Damn it, she thought to herelf, i better just ignore them. Grabbing her bright blue textbook, she turned to the page written on the chalk board, 45. Scanning the title, she discovered that this was a new topic, one she hadn't studied before; family trees. This wasn't really a topic, but it was a handy skill when disifering royal bloodlines and looking for heirs and stuff. Ayumi liked anything that helped her revise at home. Like everyone else, she copied out the explanation, an example and a key into her book, with her cursive handwriting. She always hated her handwriting, and used to long for Mayu's graceful flicks and fancy letters, or Morishige's neat, printed letters. The class had been working for the majority of the lesson when the teacher stood up.

"Everyone get your diaries out please, we have homework to complete for next lesson." ordered the teacher, turning to right it on the board. A series of moans and groans echoed across the room making Ayumi wonder why they bothered going to school. What was the point if they didn't enjoy it? For most of the students, it seemed their parents most likely forced them to get a good education.

"You are going to make your own family tree, using the example you should of copied out from the text book and your own family. That is all class, you may go to your next lesson."

Ayumi's head wad filling with excitiment as she left the room. Her own family tree? She knew she had a lot of relations, but she had met very little of them. She'd have to look at her fathers blood line, Shinozaki, a bit more which wouldn't be too difficult if she had the right resources. But there was one question that was still stuck in her mind. Naomi had mentioned before that Sachiko and Yoshie both had the surenames, Shinozaki, which was obviously the same as hers. But there were many Shinozaki's in Japan, so she could barely be related to them could she? She shook of the thought, not thinking it was very important and left the classroom. Three more lessons and then she could go home and study, and Satoshi would be going to Yoshiki's. She really hoped nothing bad would happen, and Yoshiki would be more understanding. However, Ayumi knew Yoshiki well now, and if Satoshi got him angry, he would most likely lash out...

Hopefully i can upload again soon!
