A/N: I wrote this while reading chapter 29 of Strobe Edge, and listening to sad music. I have no idea where in the manga this takes placeeee… so there might be spoilers, but I'll warn you guys. (Not that anyone reads this so I guess I'm talking to myself… huh…) And the sad thing was, that at the end of this chapter with Andou's profile—that was like… the most he was in it, and the profile's only one page.

I guess since he was in like… three pages of this chapter, then that's more but….arggh, it didn't feel like it DDX. I'm sad…

This is about to get sappy, so… brace yourselves. I'll try not to make Ame too Mary-Sueish.

But, for now, this is Andou's POV. Idk if I wrote him correctly…

Andou

I only caught a brief glance of Ame during lunch. Once again, she was caught in a line—smashed against the wall, but she was giggling. I pushed my way through the crowd so I could stand next to her.

"I think you're too tiny to stand in lines." I said. She really wasn't that small, just a little taller than Ninako.

"Shut up." She grinned, trying to elbow her way past a group of girls. I grabbed her hand and pulled her a good ten feet forward.

"There. Now you're almost to the front." After ruffling her hair, I left. I was headed to the usual place Ninako eats lunch at, when Ren grabbed my arm.

"Can I talk with you for a second?" He said, looking strangely serious.

"Sure." I stopped walking and turned to face him.

"I thought you told me you were serious about Kinoshita-san."

"I am." I hadn't done anything! What was his problem?

"Let me see your phone." He held out his hand for it. "I saw you help a girl today."

"So… I can't help others?" I dropped my phone in his palm, and he immediately started scrolling through my contacts.

"Helping soon leads to other things with you. Is Ame her name?"

"Yes, she's a friend." Ren raised an eyebrow and gave me my phone. I rolled my eyes. "I don't even consider her a girl, really. She's like a little brother." I remembered that I had told Ninako I was only nice to the girl I liked, but once again, Ame didn't seem like a girl.

Ren looked at me for a moment longer before walking away.

Now, to find Ninako…

Ame

I couldn't find Takumi anywhere after school. Midori teased me about it as I looked, but I ignored her. Hanging out with Takumi was fun—not that hanging out with Midori wasn't, but I thought it would be nice to expand.

"You just like him because he's cuuute."

"Midori, I'm not seeing that movie with you this weekend if you don't shut it."

"If you admit he's cute I'll shut up."

"Why do you like torturing me so much?"

"Looooove."

"Ugh."

And we continued on like this for quite some time—it felt like we walked all the way around the school at least twice.

"Maybe we should just go back." I said, leaning against the wall. The sun was mercilessly bright and it was giving me a headache.

"But isn't that him?"

"What?" I said, my gaze snapping to where Midori was pointing. Takumi was talking to a girl just in front of the school. "But—but we passed here a million times!"

"I wanted to see how long it'd take you to notice. I'm training you, so that when you say you can't find the milk, I won't have to get it when it's right in front of your face." I groaned, sliding down so I could sit. I didn't have the energy to reply.

Takumi was smiling brightly, completely focusing on the girl he was talking to.

"That's probably the girl he likes." I said, rising to my feet. "I'll talk to him tomorrow."

"Someone's jealoussss."

"I've known him for two days, Midori."

"Aw, you're no fun." And hand in hand, we walked home.

A/N: Review please…sorry it's crap DX.

EDIT: Haaa… I was re-reading this for the first time… and I noticed I didn't delete part of what I was going to have happen, then decided against it. I must've been so tired DX.
