Chapter 4

Shun's POV

I haven't actually read her dairy… It's just that, when the dairy fell, it flipped opened and I just happen to be picking it up and I glanced at that page accidently… But it's really good to know that there is someone who actually thinks of me as a rival who is a girl. That is very interesting… and amusing at a same time. This is the first time a girl had written those things about, aside from those… confession letters.

I sighed. It is really annoying to find those letters in my shoe rack, locker etc… If they pay attention to their studies, which will be more profitable for them, rather than fighting for attention. What's more, some even came with a request to form a Fan club of mine, Shun Kazami Fan club! That was unbearable! Rejected!

My friends had laughed at that. Even Dan got the news and was laughing too much that I had to kick him to shut up. I'm sure Julie told him about it! But still I heard that they have formed their group, as my Fan club. Whatever…

No one's POV

Shun entered the Student Council room to find only Ace, reading something. "Where were you off to, Kaichou?" Ace asked, glancing at Shun. Shun took his seat and said, "Somewhere. And where 's everyone?".

"May be having fun…? Well, they completed their work when you were 'somewhere'" replied Ace and packed his things. "Well, I'm off. See ya" he said and left. Shun sighed and saw the reports on the desk, completed by his fellow members. He started going through them and he finished them in an hour. He checked the time; it read five past ten.

'Now, it's time for petrol duty' he thought and gathered his things. The school seems almost empty now but still some were doing their club activities, mostly sports' clubs. 'They almost seem to be leaving anyway' he thought and went up the stairs to check upper floors. He was done in ten minutes.

Shun locked the doors. "Mom should already be home by now" he muttered and changing his shoes, he left. As soon as he reached his bike, his phone rang.

"Yes, mom?" …. "Hm, sure. Okay, yes, I remember the way" …

"Hm. See ya, mom" he said and ended the call. He put on his black helmet, started his black and green bike and dashed towards downtown. 'I think I heard some squeals… Tsk. Fan girls are still around?!' he thought but rode off. "Whatever…"

Meanwhile…

"How is it? I don't look fat, do I?" asked Julie, as she twirl around, inspecting her dress, which she was trying on. She wore sleeveless turtle neck pink top which exposed her stomach and white shorts. Runo sighed.

"It looks good! Now hurry up! I have work to do at the café!" exclaimed Runo and tapped her foot. "Okay, okay! Geez! I'm done already" said Julie and went to change.

They were both in the mall to shop for Julie. The reason… "I got a big stain on my favorite top! Please, please come with me!" Julie had said. And ended up shopping for three dresses now… Runo sighed. 'I should've brought Alice with me…' she thought.

"Runo…? Hey!" heard Runo from behind and turned to the source who called her. Runo smiled. "Hey Alice!" greeted Runo, as Alice approached. "Shopping… with Julie…?" asked Alice and laughed. Runo glared at Alice, playfully. "What else…?" replied Runo and sighed. Alice laughed again.

"Grocery shopping?" asked Runo and Alice nodded, adjusting her bag on her shoulder. "Oh! Hey, Alice! Shopping? Let me help you!" exclaimed Julie, enthusiastically. "Uhh… Hey Julie! I'm already done with groceries. I was passing by when I saw Runo" Alice said and smiled.

"Okay… May be we could hang out sometime later. Also invite Mira. You know girls day out!" suggested Julie, as her eyes sparkled. "Sure, Julie", said Alice and both she and Runo sweatdropped at their friend. "Okay, guys, see ya tomorrow then!" Alice waved and left the store while Julie and Runo made their way towards cash counter.

Shun was currently exiting the building, with a small box in his hands. That was the box containing medicines for their former cook, Mrs. Usagi. She was old and retired but Shiori insisted that she will order her medicines every month.

'It's the second time I'm here…' he thought. He kept the box in his bag and put on his helmet again and drove off. He noticed that this area has more alleys and small buildings compared to where he lives.

He waited for the signal to turn green on his bike, when he saw someone literally zoomed past by his side. The person was actually knocking people on the way. 'Is he a thief…?' but his thoughts were instantly thrown out when he saw another person chasing him.

"Hey! Wait! Get back!" that voice he already recognized as none other than Alice Gehabich. She grabbed on the person's hood and pulled him back, surprising Shun. He parked his bike aside and ran after her.

"Give that back!" she yelled and clutched the purse. The man's face was covered, only his eyes can be seen, which were angrily glaring at her. The crowd was forming, so to escape, the thief pushed Alice back and ran, but he failed to take the purse away.

"Woah…!" Alice lost her footing, when she was pushed and fell…in Shun arms. He reached behind her just in time and caught her. Well, that was not his intention, it happened…

"Huh?" Alice mumbled and looked to her side, to see somebody had caught her. Her back was pressed against Shun chest while his hands were wrapped around her stomach. Well… It happened accidently. He suddenly felt warm though.

Shun noticed their position and instantly let go of her, as if he was burned, while the crowd started dispersing. "Shun? It's you! Oh, thanks for catching me!" said Alice and smiled at him. 'What is he doing here? I thought he lives on the other side of downtown' she thought.

"What're you doing at a time like this?" Shun asked her instead. "Uhh… Catching a thief…? You saw that right?" she said and pointed the purse in her hand. That's when a woman came towards them and panted. She looked in her thirties. She exhaled deeply.

"Oh my! Thanks a lot! Thank you! I'm really grateful to you! Thanks for helping me!" she said catching her breath, looking at Alice. Alice handed the purse to her and said, "Ah, you're welcome, Miss! ". The woman then handed Alice her grocery bag which she gave the woman while chasing the thief.

'What?! It's not her purse?' thought Shun, as he watched the woman and Alice interacting. The woman introduced herself, "I'm Lisa by the way. Nice to meet you… uhh…". She looked like she was a working woman. "It's Alice. Nice to meet you too, Miss Lisa!" said Alice, as they shook hands.

The woman then rummaged through her purse and said, "Please accept this as a thanks from me!" and extended her hand. It was a key chain with a cute doll. "It's my favorite. But I want to give it to you!" she continued. "Uhh… I can't take…" started Alice but was cut off by the woman. "I'll be happy if you take this! I don't have any other thing to give…"

Alice contemplated for a second, as the woman thrust it in her hands. "Well, I'll be going then! See ya around, Alice!". Alice blinked, as Lisa left waving. "Uhh… See ya…".

Alice glanced at Shun, smiling awkwardly then glanced around. 'He's still here…? It's just few minutes I'm standing with him and the girls already are glaring at me…' She thought and sighed. He didn't pay attention around them though.

"So… I'll be going home now… Bye, Shun!" she said and started to turn as she hung her bag on her shoulder. They were standing on the roadside. Shun was looking at her with his as-usual-plain look.

"Aren't you supposed to go to the cops when something like this happens?" asked Shun which stopped her.

Alice looked back at him. She noticed that he was still in his uniform. "Well… There was no time for that. And that man snatched her purse just a foot away from me. So I…" she tried to explain but Shun interrupted her.

"Don't tell me that you were helping her because she needed help! What if something happens if you keep that up?" he asked. Alice looked at him as if she was processing what he said. He folded his arms and continued, "You should not do things like this alone. What if you get in trouble… Not everyone is friendly".

Shun couldn't help but feel concerned about her. Alice noticed the concern in his voice. "Nothing happened now, right? It's…" she started but "Don't you get it?" Shun said, raising his voice a little. He sighed.

"Look, Alice! Girls should be careful at this time…... I'm not stopping you from your work. And you're not some type of cop, are you?" said Shun. Alice said, "Well, yeah. But…". Shun next words silenced her though.

"Or do you want your rival to keep an eye on you?" he smirked.
