Welcome to another chapter of Pretear!

Thanks to Race Star and Featheredtenshi who reviewed the last chapter, and I'll allow Mikino and Hayate to kiss...maybe not in this part though. XD

I don't own Pretear...or any of it's characters, only Mikino and her family...ENJOY!

"Hey! EMERGENCY!" Mikino jumped out of her sleep, and rolled onto the floor as Hio's voice was heard booming through her ear.

"Gurdlemumu...huh?" Mikino mumbled non-existing words as she rubbed her eyes and looked at her wide eyed sister.

"There's this really cute guy at the door waiting for you! I think he's suppose to walk you to school!" Mikino quickly jumped up and ran straight into the shower.

'Maybe it's Hayate! I hope it is!'

After her 5 minute shower, she put on her school uniform, and put her hair into a tight ponytail. She ran down the steps, grabbed her apple and zoomed past her father who was too busy eating to notice her, and opened the door quickly. Her excitement and smile vanished as she noticed it was the boy from before; Tayako.

"Oh..it's you," Mikino said, hoping her disappointment wasn't too obvious. He smiled and bowed a little as his long silver hair fell over his shoulders.

"Good morning, I'm sorry if I appear like a stalker to you...I just wanted to walk you to school..." he trailed off as he avoided eye contact with Mikino.

'Huh...oh, I guess one of the kids at my school must have given him my address...'

"Sure! I'd like that...thank you," she shut the door behind her, and stood next to Tayako as they
began to walk to school. It was pretty much silent along the way, no conversations or anything...just dead silence...except for a couple of people who were chatting as they passed by.

"So um...Tayako, where do you come from?" Mikino asked, breaking the silence. Tayako seemed lost in thought as he quickly snapped back into reality.

"Hong Kong...I recently moved here because of my father's job," he said as he faced Mikino with a smile.

'He, he. He likes to smile a lot...how adorable...'

-With Hayate-

"So um...why are we following them again?" Mannen asked as he and Hayate hid in the bushes. He soon received a bonk on the head, causing him to rub it.

"We're not following them you idiot..." Hayate said as he and Mannen rushed over to another bush.

"Oh...and what do you call this?" Hayate and Mannen jumped as they heard the voice of Sasame.

"Stalking..." Mannen muttered.

"Investigating," Hayate said as he straightened himself.

"Yeah right!" Himeno yelled as she suddenly appeared. Hayate sighed, stood up, and placed his hands in his pockets as he began to walk off.

"Aren't you suppose to be in school anyway?" Hayate said as he disappeared out of sight. Himeno sighed and crossed her arms.

"He's such a jerk..." Himeno ran out from behind the bushes, and tried to run and catch up with Mikino and that boy.

"Hey guys...wait up!" Mikino and Tayako stopped walking as they turned to see Himeno running towards them.

"Himeno," Mikino said with a smile as Himeno stopped in front of them while panting.

"Man! I've been trying to catch you guys...you walk...so fast," she said as she finally caught her breath.

"How about we continue walking to school?" Himeno suggested.

"No need...we're already there!" Mikino said in a cheery tone. Himeno rubbed the back of her head nervously and nudged Mikino on her arm.

"So...aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?" Mikino looked at Himeno with a confused face.

"What fr-OH! His name is Tayako...Tayako, Himeno,"

"Nice to meet you," Tayako said as he stretched out his hand for Himeno to shake, which she did in a friendly way. Mikino smiled as they began to walk into the school building. She began to get lost in her thoughts about the night before with Hayate. They had talked so much, and had gotten to learn more things about each other. She even found out that his favorite drink was coffee with a little milk, which she thought was quite funny since he never seemed like the coffee type.

"Mikino," Himeno waved a hand in front of her face as she snapped out of her thoughts. She had to tell someone...besides her sisters, that she liked Hayate. She had to tell Himeno...that was her best friend after all, they barely kept any secrets from each other.

'Yeah...I'm sure that Himeno would understand...I'll tell her after school'

Mikino sighed out of relief as she wasn't so tensed anymore...she didn't want to hide any secrets after all.

-After...School-

"I'll see you later," Tayako waved to Mikino and Himeno as he walked off. They waved back, and Mikino turned towards Himeno with a serious face.

"Hey...I have to tell you something," Mikino said as Himeno faced her as well, but with a kind smile.

"Sure! Lets take a seat though...those 13 laps from gym really made my legs sore," Mikino nodded as they both headed over to a bench.

'This is it!!!'

I'm not sure if I made Mikino tell Himeno she liked Hayate...I'm pretty sure I didn't!

I wonder how Himeno will react...she DOES like Hayate as well after all.

Will she...uh get mad?

Ooh...and who should Mikino fall for?

Tayako vs. Hayate

Eh...weird question deserves weird answers...so hit me!

Anyway...please review...sorry if you didn't find this chapter entertaining.

You'll find a conflict next chapter! XD

Yes...I know I had a lot of time skips as well DX
