One month later

Acually, Keyasha wasnt as bad as Gina had predicted on the contrary, she was accually really easy to talk to and they quickly became good friends. And without realizing it, Gina found herself staring at a very good looking boy across the room and asked Keyasha, because she'd been at their school longer and probably knew a whole lot more people. "Whos he?" Keyasha looked up from her doodle or a heart, her name and something that Gina could see, because the girl's paw was in the way. She nodded in the direction or the boy.

"Who?" Keyasha inquired. "The hottie?" Gina nodded sheepishly. "Oh thats Rocanu, but sorry girl, take a number, all the girls are drooling over him. But I have him as a lab partner this year and he talks to me a lot more than the other girls in class, well probably because they are brainy girls but I mean..he sees that I have a brain, but dont flash it around and put tape on my glasses."

Gina's crush was momentarily forgotten as she exclaimed, "Youre crushing on my brother!"

Keyasha's jaw dropped. "Wait, Youre Rocanu's sister?!?" Gina nodded, Keyasha looked back at Rocanu and only saw one boy next to him, she turmed back to face Gina and asked "then which one?" Littlerly confused.

"The one with the black hair and the prayer beads on his arm, I always see you around him"

There was only one boy in thier school that wore prayer beads and Keyashas knew he was behind her, but she checked anyway, "Wait, wait, wait, wait" said Keyasha, "Yuo dont mean Akio do you?"

"Oh come on, Keyasha, I know he's like your best friend right? You could talk to him for me and..."

Keyasha put up a hand to stop her. "Ok, first of all, ...ew. and second of all, everyone knows he only has eyes for this one girl named...What are you laughing at?!?" Keyasha demanded, looking at her best friend as she had seemed to, out of no where become overcome with giggles. When Gina could control her laughter, she said,

"Thats not what I heard, I like him, but I figured since you didnt... I mean, first you;re crushing on my brother adn now this.." she laughed again.

"Thats your brother?!?" asked Keyasha again, just trying to be clear, but still not believing." Gina nodded. "Okay, you have to let me come over sometime!"

"Then come over tonight," she invited, not really thinking about it.

"Really?" Keyasha was over joyed.

"Dont change the subject" said Gina, but before she could continue, Akio and Rocanu bounded over to thier table adn both Gina and Keyasha blushed. Akio leaned over and gave Keyasha a quick hug, everyone exchanged fast 'hellos' and introductions.

"Hey kid," said Akio, shuffling his feet. "I was wondering if I could talk to you"

Keyasha shrugged, "so talk"

"Well I was thinking...outside..in the courtyard...you know privatly...theres something I want to tell you."

Keyasha was about to go with him when the bell rang, sygnoling the end of lunch. "We'll talk later, ok?"

Keyasha grimmanced, she was really sorry, but, "Sorry, no can do, Im going over to Gina's tonight, but call me later, ok?"

Rocanu cut her off "Youre coming over to our house? Sweetness!" Total jock.

"You live with Gina?" questioned Akio, "Is she your girlfriend?" the girls rolled thier eyes and began to walk away as Rocanu slugged Akio playfully in the stomach.

"Shes my sister, you Doofus."

As everyone filed out of school at the end of the day, Keyasha realized she didnt know the way to her friend's house, as she searched the student body looking for Gina, her gaze fell upon Akio, who smiled and waved at her. She waved back adn Akio started towards her. Just then, she spotted Gina and had to run or she would lose her again. It didnt matter that much anyway, because a moment later, Rocanu appeared at his side. "Hey," she greated Gina cheerfully as she caught up to her, out of breathe.

"Whats wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost!"

"Nah, I just feel bad, poor Akio, hasnt gotten to spend more than 10 seconds with me all day and I can tell he really needs something." Gina's face fell as she grumbled something Keyasha couldnt hear. Keyasha looked at her friend, "You really like him, dont you?"

Gina nodded, "Youre lucky to have him give you so much attention ah well,"

Keyasha shrugged, "Wonder what he wanted to tell me,"

"Oh I wonder what it could be!" exclaimed Gina, "I have absolutly no idea."

Keyasha pretended to sniff the air. "Is it just me, or does it smell really sarcastic over here?"

"Oh come on, Keyasha!" exagerated Gina, "its rather obvious, why Akio wants to talk to you, alone. So he could tell you hes in love with you."

"What?" exclaimed Keyasha, "Thats crazy!"

"No, its a fact"

"Ok, how long have you thought this?" Keyasha put her hands on her hips and stopped walking.

"Not me, the whole school says it pretty obvious"

"obviously, obvious to everyone but me. Akio is not in love with me!"

"Boton," siad Gina, pulling a girl to her side. "Blank is in love with Keyasha, fill in the blank."

"Akio," Boton replied with out a moment's hesitation.

"Thanks for playing" said Gina and Boton began to walk away.

"Akio is NOT in love with me!" Keyasha yelled as Gina and Boton jumped. "Ok, and if yuo two are so sure about it, Im going to go ask him"

"You cant just ask a guy if hes in love with you! He has to tell you when hes ready!" protested Boton

"Too bad, Im going anyway. Hes been my best friend my whole life, If he cant be honest with me, then maybe he wasnt the guy I thought he was. Im going to ask him. Point blank."

"Wait!" yelled Gina, but Keyasha ignored her.

"Point blank" she said, without turning around, only raising her hand into a backwards good bye and with that she was gone
