Hello, so… you guys know how I needed an idea for this story. Well, I just thought of this last night while trying to fall asleep (literally). It has the death that most of my friends have suggested… No, it's more like suicide! But, it also has my regular happy ending. Enjoy and review!

'These couple of days have been great!' I thought walking beside Mariko. 'I miss Shuji and Akira… But, I guess it isn't so bad here! It's lonely without them, but I think I can manage without them now…' I encouraged myself. "What are you thinking about?" Mariko asked in the middle of my thoughts.

"Oh, nothing…" I said as Shittaka came up to us.

Mariko's P.O.V

I stared at Nobuko as Shittaka came up to us. 'These two make a cute couple' I thought! Then, I started to miss Shuji, even if he was only pretending to like me to be popular…

"Mariko, what's wrong?" Nobuko asks me.

"Oh, nothing… See you after school!" I say. She nods as I walk past them to my class.

Nobuta's P.O.V

'That was weird… I bet she misses Shuji! After thinking that he liked her but then finding out that he was only using her to become popular, she still likes him?' I thought. "Hey, is it possible to like someone after they've done something horrible to you?" I ask Shittaka. He shrugged.

"Don't know… Ask someone who actually went through that, like Tani or yourself…"

"Huh? What do you mean ask myself?"

"If I can remember correctly, I said something horrible to you at the aquarium…"

"Oh that…"

"Yeah… yet you still like me! How's this possible?" He asked me imitating the way I asked him earlier. I gave him a look and elbowed him in the arm… Wrong thing to do! He didn't seem offended by my actions, he seemed more amused by them!

"I don't know how I could still like you after that. I must be crazy!" I teased, using one of the moves that Shuji and Akira had shown me before I went on my first date.

"I didn't say you were crazy. But…"

"But?"

"You have become a lot more confident since Shuji and Akira moved away… I wonder why it's like that..."

"I don't know…" I said flatly.

"Um, anyways… I was wondering if maybe, just maybe we could go out again on the weekend."

"I honestly don't know about that, Shittaka…"

"Hmm?"

"The last time it didn't go so well… And, I don't think that…"

"Are you still mad at me for saying that? Be honest…"

"Honestly, no! It's been a while, so I've had time to get over that… I just don't think we should take the chance, in case it happens again!"

"What are the chances of the same thing happening twice?" Shittaka questioned. I shrugged. "Exactly! Come on, nothing will happen this time… I promise!"

"You just don't let a girl go, do you?" I asked.

"Does any guy let a girl go?"

"True… Okay, we'll try again!"

"Great! Friday after school, okay? I nodded as the bell rang. It was time for our first class of the day! As I followed Shittaka into the class, I heard a horrid laughter! I don't know where it was coming from, but I knew I heard it somewhere before… Then I remembered! It was from the day before I had my very first date with Shittaka! The same laughter was in the air that day. When I went on the date, it turned out as a disaster! 'I wonder if it will turn out as a disaster this time around…' I thought to myself trying to be positive about the date this time.

Friday

After school that day, we went to an amusement park! It was great! "Maybe today won't be as bad as I thought it would be…" I wondered aloud.

"What?" Shittaka asked me.

"Nothing, just thinking aloud!" I assured.

"You thought it would end up as a disaster?"

"I thought that… But, it hasn't!"

"I'm guessing that's a good thing…"

"Yes, it is!" I assured. "Hold on a minute, I'll be back…" I said, leaving him by himself.

Author's P.O.V

They didn't know it yet, but something tragic was going to happen… Yet something good was also going to happen. Aoi was watching the couple, though she said that she would try to be nice to Nobuta, it didn't work… She just couldn't be nice to the girl! She watched as Nobuta left Shittaka by himself and smiled as a scheme was planning in her head!

Nobuta's P.O.V

After coming out of the bathroom, I headed towards the place that I left Shittaka. When I got there, I found a terrible surprise waiting for me! Aoi was with Shittaka and… "I can't believe you! I knew this would turn out bad, just like last time!" I called to them and left the two…

"W-Wait!" I heard Shittaka calling to me. He caught up to me and grabbed my hand, spinning me around. "That, wasn't what it looked like… Honest!"

"Really? Then, what am I supposed to assume when I see you kissing Aoi?"

"It was her, you should know that! Remember how she treated you?"

"Yes, I remember! But, you didn't even try to stop her! That's why I'm mad!"

"I did try to stop her… She's stronger than she looks!"

"Whatever… Just… Leave me alone for a while, while I try to think this through…" I requested. Shittaka nodded, understanding and let go of my hand.
