When Daichi returned to class he looked around trying to find the blond that has occupied his mind for weeks. When he did he saw she was really into what she was working on and from what he could see and from the many girls around her they were working on the menu. Daichi knew he couldn't talk to her right now so he found something that needed to be worked while always keeping an eye on her.

"You sure do like her don't you Daichi?"

Daichi looked up from his stare at Himeko to see his friend Tetsuo staring at him with a with a smile on his face.

"What are you talking about Tetsu i don't love her."

"I didn't say love i said like but if maybe it is love?"

Daichi blushed and remember whyen they had fallen eariler before shacking his head to clear it.

"Shut up Tetsu and help me out and stop speaking nonsense that i love Nonohara."

Tetsu got down on his knees and starte to work Daichi continued as well glad that he dropped the subject. They worked on the tables and counters until the last bell ring before they started to clean up. As Daichi left the room Tesu walked by him telling him something before walking away. Daichi was left blushing as his words clicked in his head.

"Who ever said it was Nonohara-san?"

Since then Daichi never looked at Himeko again since every time he did Tetsu words would sound in his head and he would start to blush. However, it did get him to think about why he was so interested in remembering memories he has know idea if he has or not.

Himeko watched Daichi through the days noticing how distracted he had become. Sometimes he would stare at her but after a couple of seconds he would shake his head and look away. Himeko was wondering what was wrong but didn't know how to come up and ask. So she just watched from a far keeping a good distance so no one would know she was staring at him especially Hibino.

Soon the day of the festival came around and every student was hurrying to get lst minute items for there class. Himeko was working double time to get everything together. The drama club would this this item her class would need another item. By the time it actually started Himeko was already wiped out but she sucked it up and put on the costume she would be wearing and started to serve tables. Daichi was serving tables as well so he was able to watch how Himeko interacte with the customers and wonder why she didn't cook like the rest of the girls.

Daichi and Himeko worked around each other never being in the same spot for more then 5 seconds before other kids would won't to order or have a glass of water. Soon half the day flew by and the second group was coming in to switch. Himeko and Daichi changed from there waiter clothes and back in to original. When they left the class Daichi was unable to talk to Himeko because she esplained that she had to get to the drama club. Himeko dashed off leaving Daichi behind who watched as she disappeared behind the corner and shrugged hoping to talk to her later before the festival ends.

Himeko made it with enough time to get everything ready for the play they were doing. So while Daichi explored the festival Himeko praticed a bit more making sure she had all of her lines memorized and that the stage was set up. Soon it was time for the play and Himeko got into costume waiting for her cue to go on stage. While Daichi ran around the school trying to find a hiding spot from his fan club all asking to dance with him at the last dance. He ran into the gym and hid in the crowd trying to stay out of sight the lights dimmed and the curtain rised showing Himeko in her costume.

Daichi stopped when he heard her voice and looked at the stage. As he watched he forgot all about his fan club and was memorized by Himekos performance. Himeko never noticed she had an admire in the crowd and performed her best remembering how much trouble she had when she last performed at this school.

As Daichi watched her another memory flashed in his head.

Flashback

He walked in to infirmery to see yuka laying on the bed.

"Dai-chan!"

"Is the teacher not here?" he asked as he looked around.

Yuka smiled and asked another question "Did you just get back?"

"Yeah...You collapsed on purpose didn't you."

Yuka looked surprised before her face turned into a frown.

"Yeah. I didn't really want to play peter pan that much. Hime-chan is an unbelivable good natured person. Even though I said such mean things to her. she still came to help me."

"Yeah... that's just...the way she is." a small smile formed on his face as he talked.

"OUCH" was screamed.

Yuka and Daichi turned around to see Himeko standing there with a blush forming on her cheeks. "I overheard. Sorry."

Daichi started at her with an annoyed face before turning back to Yuka.

"We'll then, I'll be off." As he walked away he bumped into Himeko as she was just turning back to face them. There eyes connected for a few seconds before Daichi broke it and ran way from both his friend and the girl who confuses him.

end of flashback

Daich snapped out of the memory to see the play finish and the students clearing the gym. He followed them in a daze thinking on the memory he just had. How can all of this happen and i forgot. Yuka knows her really well and it seemed i did too. So how did all of these memories just disappear without an explanation? Daichi snapped out of his confusion by the screaming of his fan club who were getting more aggressive since the sun was disappearing into the ground. Daichi ran again making sharp turns to the right and left trying to think of where to go to escape everybody. This lasted until the sun was down and the girls picked up speed. Soon an idea hit him and gave him the strangth to run faster making him a speck to the girls.

They rushed by the staircase that lead to the roof not noticing the shadow hiding behind the wall. Daichi sighed with relief and continued up the stairs glad of the peace and quiet that joined him as the girls grew farther away. When he made it to the last flight of stairs he looked up and there sitting at the top was a sleeping Himeko curled up with her head on her knees. Daichi got closer to her and when he got a better look another flash came to his mind.

A girl sitting in the same spot with shorter hair with the same ribbon in her hair, a lion doll at her side, and tears at the end of her eyes. All making a picture of a lonely girl.

Daichi came out of it and looked closer glad to see there were no tears in her eyes which made her looked like a sleeping angel. Daichi knew he couldn't leave her like this and he really didn't want his fan club to find him. So he sat next her and just watched her having never seen her this calm before since she always seem to be on the move and very energetic.
