"Hi there…" a grusky voice said from behind her. Ryan was holding his helmet from practice and, his short brown hair was blowing a little o the breeze. The sun cast an oramge glow over one half of his face while the other was hovered by the striking shadow of the bleechers above.

"Hi" I said with a smile that Ryan reciprited. They stared into each others eyes for a moment, almost like they were lost in the time of pools of moonglass of Leafa's eyes and, Ryan's cold exterior seemed to melt, just by looking at the timid girl. Eventuality he snapped out of it and shook away the daydream.

"So, are you busy?" he asked flirtcentiously.

"No, no I'm not..." Leafa said, dragging her heel across the, concrete nervously. She looked up at Ryan and, batted her eyelashed sutbly.

"Great," he said with girn that make Leafa's heart feel heavy. "I'll pick you up at 8. See you then".

He smiled again it, was almost like he coudlnt stop smiling because he had a girl of dreams now. He turned and, jogged back into the school (AN: lik krito hes fast becase of football so it uz rlly speedy ya know?) leaving, Leafa standing in disblief of what had just happened. Was Ryan really taking Her out tonight?

Lefa blinked in shock and, s but then ran to catch up with Klein and Agirl while she still could. She was pretty atheletic because of all training she did clearing floors and, fighting monsters for the game so eventually after running for a bit she caught up to the slow pocks.

"So?" Klein said with a surpising look on his gruffy face. "Not waiting for Ryan?" Leafa could tell that maybe Klein was a little jealous of Ryan because his face lighted when he saw her like he was happy that she was with him and not Ryan but Leafa felt bad because sometimes guys will like you even if they don't have a chance, in thw world (AN: LOLz).

"I already say him" I proclaimed proudly with a wide girn. "And I think I have a date with him tonight". Leafa riased both of her arms into the air with triumph and then excitedly punched the air hard. She had so much energy and, excitement it could not be contained.

:Nice" Klein solembed. "Have fun with him…" His face sank a bit, but he kept a pained smile because he was happy for Leafa because she was so excited.

As the teo continued to walk, they eventually ended up at Agirl's house. It had an open porch supported by white wooden beams and the base fo the house was painted grey with white axents all over the windows and trim. Agirl was standing on the porch sitting patiently waiting for for Klein, and when he saw the two of them srtolling along he waved all friendly-like.

Lisbeth also walked, towards them from the opposite direction of te school. Like usually, she was wearing a red dress with acent sleeves and, a white chest-plate decorated with ribbons. Her pink hair was pretty in the twilight and her blue eyes were like crystals.

Agirl glanced out from the porch, and when he saw Lisbeth dragged, Klein into the house hurriedly. He pats Leafa on the back and wished her on her way. The door SLAMMed loudly and before Leafa could even process, what had just happened they were both gone.

"So GTA?" I piondered to myself with mystery.

"Hey," Lisbeth interjected abruptly. Leafa jumped back in startle at the sight of the girl but, when she realized it was just Lisbeth she let out a brath of release and gave the pink girl a soft smile. "Didn't expect to see you in this area," Libseth suspicioned. She quirked an eyebrow at Leafa who sheepishly rubbed the back of her neck.

"Hey! Howve you been?" I said to her excitedly, clasping my hands together and beaming with happiness because at that moment I remembred Ryan all over again. Lisbeth looked a little confused at the sudden show of brightness, but gave a soft chuckle.

"Pretty good, I guess" she said trailing off. "How about you?"

"Tired," I said as I laughed. Being one of the top players in Sword Art Online WAS pretty exhasting. Leafa wasn't really like other girls so sometimes the preysure of being so popular and, liked was to much and, she got really tired of it! that doenst make her a BAD PERSON it just means that shes like everyone else and, being prefect all the time isnt always fun (AN: but she still trys rlly hard all da tim to hlep da otter players! even regem and diabel who can b a lil annoyance but she is still nice 2 dem bc dats da kind of preson she is!)

Libseth nodded and glanced between Leafa and Agirl's house witch they were standing in front of. Her entire boyd language shufted: her pink eyebrows curved upwards, a little and she bit her lip. Leafa was good at reading this stuff because she was waaay more socially inept then Krito.

"Were you with anyone by any chance?" Lisbeth hesitainted. Leafa could tell she was discouraged for some reason, but she didn not know, what that had to do with Agirl's house. Maybe She didn't like the paint color?

"Well those two weirdos and, a football player," Leafa giggled. She tossed her ponytail over her shoulder and it caught the breeze just good, right. Her eyes sparkled and her poster was way more confidant then Libseth who was looking nervous. Leafa felt a singe of pity for the poor BlackSmith girl who had got rejected by Kirito so long ago when they were, searching for dragon scales for his sword. "You?"

"Just wondering," she shrugged. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow, bye!"

Lisbeth cut her heel sharply and turned her, short bobbed hair and flouncy dress bobbing as she walked away. Leafa watched her figure disappear and wpndering why Lisbeth was so curious about Agirl's house… or maybe… it was Who was Inside the House?

Leafa squinted in thought. Had Lisbeth even speaken to Agirl or Klein befrore? Then again, Leafa didn't know either of the boys too well and, had no idea what they had done with their lives before, they met her. She sighed (AN: c sometimes she dosent have all da answears!) and puckered her lips as she peppily strolled, away back to the house.

Lisbeth was the least of her worries, now that, Ryan was in the photo. She thought about his charming smile and how he had done good at football earlier when she was watching him from the bleechers.

Meanwhilst, Agirl and Klein sat, in the living room playing GTA. They were gamers (AN: obliviously! their in SAO a VIDEOGRAM, duh.) so they're playing was pretty intense and they were hunched over the controllers as they battled each others's cars in the arena.

Klein was obviously stressed, whereas Agirl was equiped with his typical clam demanor. As they played, he inspected his friend's face for, the frustration and anguish he knew was there. He was a Blacskmith. He was good as this, kind of thing.

"C'mon Klein," he begot with a serious tone. "You just lost, another chance. Another one." He sympatically raised his eyebrows and, gave Klein a shameful look. He knew the scruffy red swordman better than anyone else in the game, and he knew that Klein had just lost, another chance (AN: ANOHER ONE).

Klein sighed. "You already know someone else likes her" he brushed off, depresedly. After Asuna cheated on him, Klein had some demons he were dealing with and, they were called FEAR and REMORSE. Even though he was depresed, he had a heart of stone after Asuna so he couldn't even cry even though he felt like curling up in a ball and dying.

"And?" Agirl shot back suprotively. Even though he was being serious and, he had a sad smile on his face. He set down his controller on the table and looked directly at Klein.

"And, he asked her out? So why would I ruin it for her?" Klein expressed, dropping the controller and byuring his head in his hands. He was kind of dramatic like that.

"So, they're going, to dinner or whatever," agirl mopped, waving his hamd in the air absently. "That doesn't mean they're dating just yet. She might not like what she sees in him".

"Whatever you say…" lein muttred, he looked up at Agirl and gave him a passive smile. He was lucky to have a friend, who was so supportive of his pain and who could talk about this stuff but, also be really good at GTA so they would pla it to help Klein cure his depreshion.

Leafa ran home with a peep in her step and flung open the door with so much fore that, it nearly flew off the handles. She could hear Asuna's sinister ang roteseque laugh resonate from Kirito's locked room and, she sneered before heading towards her own bedroom. Who Needed Kirito Anyway? If he wanted to abandon his sister, for a SKANK that was fine by her (AN: gurl power! amiright?!).

Her room was painted a light blue with white trim around the windows and ceiling, and the carpet was a deep pink color. On the walls were anime posters for, stuff like Sword Art Online and Fairy Tale, because she wkind of a otaku. It was a pretty big oom because when Leafa and Kirito's parents abanddonened them she got to move into the master Bedroom becase Krito was to depresed to want the room. That was before…. Asana. Even the thought of the word left a bitter taste in my mouth.

Leafa slipped off her conversone that she was wearing from before and flund herself onto her bed. It was a qeen size (AN: obvliously (灬ºωº灬) ) and was covered, in pillows and all the cute plushies she could ever want (AN: ever tho shes in tense leafa still has a cutie side bc shes lik dat! (*⌒∇⌒*))

She walked over to her walk in closet and, picked a white striped t shirt off of the hangers and a black skater skirt. The shrit had been a gift from, Kirito for her birthday back when they were still liking each other and he wasnt always with Asuna. The skirt was also a gift but it was from her mom, before both of her parents died in a horrlible way.

Leafa slipped on the cloths and felt a tear begun to slip out of her eye but, she pushed it back. It was Not time for crying. She attatched white ankle socks and, her signature green leather heels to the foutfit. She looked in the mirrer Her mom would have been proud. She just wishes that she could be there to see Leafa go on her first date with Ryan but it was ok because she knew she was with them in sprite. Leafa held her hand over the locket around her neck. It was golden with bright green germ stones and on the inside it had a pictue of Leafa and Kirito and a picture of Leafa and her mom. More than she wished her mom, was here she wished Kirito would go back to the way he was before Asuna. He was always looking out for her and, being thee for her not like when Asuna's around and they dnot speak to eachother because he hates her now.

For a moment Leafa was tpempted, to skip the date all together and finally try to reconcile with Kirito… but... Ryan was too hot. That could wait for another day.

She stepped in front of the mirror again and, put on her makeup except not a lot becase she was already naturally pretty and if she put too much on too many guys, would be flirting with her and make Ryan insecure.

Leafa added a bit of con sealer under her eyes to accentuate her bright gleaming, green eyes like marbles of green fire and added then highlighter to the corners of her eyes (AN: im jelous (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞ bc mine alredy dryed out last month 。゚(゚∩´﹏`∩゚)゚。) When she looked in the mirror she was almost blonded and, then chuckled and, decided that was ok for now. She also added a little bit of maskra BUT ONLY ON THE BOTTOM because she doesnt need it on the top because, her eyelashes are really long and she gets complants about then all the time from even complete strangers.

Next she put in her earrings they were stufds, but with a little green in the gold because they matched her brilliant eyes. She also straightened out her long louscious, blonde hair. Her bangs were a little too long so she swept them back, with a green hair pin that had rhinostones on it like the earrings and locket. The rest of the hair she leaft down because it was really long and, pretty and, not like a lot of the other girls in SAO because hers was better.

Leafa did a rouble check in the mirrer and she was a little self conscious because of how pretty she was but it was okay She picked up her bag, from the corner it was similar to Asuna's bag from before but it was brown leather with green accents and, way cooler becauses Asunas was a bit of an older model and the color was worse because she had terrible taste.

She threw her phone, some lipgloss and her katana into the bag and then slung it over her shoulder, to walk out of her bedroom. She stopped right outside the door and heard the doorball and her brother skrampper out to answer it because, he was a little rat boy. A gruntisly voice answered sexily and sent a shriver towards Leafa's spline.

"Hey Dude. Is your Sister here?"
