Author's Note: Once again, thanks to those of you who have reviewed and favorited! Your reviews keep me going!
By the way, I had to change things up a bit so that Sana, Akito, Tsuyoshi, Aya, Hisae, Gomi, and Mami are all in the same classes. Sorry!
Also, beware there is… Weirdness in this chapter. I would be more specific if it wouldn't give too much away, but it would, so again, I'm sorry!
Anyways, on to chapter five! Enjoy!

Sana and Hayama stood outside the school. Sana took a deep breath before looking up at Hayama and continuing on, into the building and up to their homeroom.
Sana stared at the door, reaching her hand out to it and putting on the most expressionless look she could. She repeated the sentence, 'I am Akito Hayama,' over and over again in her head, treating the situation as if it was a new movie or commercial that she was getting ready for. In a way, it was almost the same.
Hayama glanced over at Sana and, surprisingly, found her deep in thought. "Umm… Sana?" he asked, wondering if something was wrong.
"What?" she asked, in a somewhat monotonous, somewhat cold voice.
'Is that what I sound like to everyone else?' Hayama wondered. "Are you okay?"
Sana simply shrugged, looking up and opening the door to walk in. Hayama was shocked by the look on her face, but he just followed her as she walked over and sat at his desk.
"Hey, you guys!" Tsuyoshi said, walking over to his friends. Aya was behind him, waving.
"Yo," Sana said, raising her hand slightly.
"Hi!" Hayama said in Sana's loud, cheerful voice, grinning and waving wildly at them. He was determined to prove that he was better at this than she was, despite the fact that she was a professional actress and he, obviously, wasn't.
Sana refrained herself from yelling about how Hayama was smiling, but she managed to maintain her emotionless face and not say anything.
"Hi!" Hisae said, walking up to the group with Gomi. Sana saw that they were holding hands. It seemed like she was the only one who had noticed. However, she didn't say anything, out of a combination of respect for her friend and wanting to prove that she was a better at acting than Hayama. This was quickly turning into an unspoken competition.
Hayama had noticed, too, but he didn't say anything. He glanced over at Sana and saw that she was staring at their entwined hands. He was amazed that she had stopped herself from mentioning it, but all he did was raise an eyebrow. Hayama knew that this day was becoming a contest between the two of them, but he was already starting to get tired out from trying to be Sana, and school hadn't even started yet.
As if on cue, the bell for homeroom to start rang, and he sat down in Sana's desk, which was right next to her own, as the others walked away.
Sana leaned over to whisper to him as the teacher walked into the classroom "You know, you're actually a pretty good actor. I'll have to take you to a shoot sometime," she said quietly, only half-joking.
"You're not too bad yourself," Hayama said, although it was expected for her to be good at acting. He decided not to say anything about how she wanted to take him to film a commercial or something, remembering how Rei had said that she was supposed to have gone to a commercial and Komowari on Saturday. 'Oh, well… She'll figure it out soon enough… I just hope Mr. Sunglasses Guy doesn't kill her for missing it,' he thought.

Two classes later, they were starting math. Sana was nervous, but she was determined not to let it show. Luckily, they didn't get any written work during the class, and she managed to avoid having to answer any questions aloud. However, they got a worksheet for homework.
"You're going to have to tell me all the answers," she whispered to Hayama as the bell rang for that class. "You're supposedly one of the smartest people here, so if you don't want anyone to know what's going on, you'll have to keep your good grades up."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever," he replied. "But you'll have to tell me all the wrong answers," he said, smirking.
Sana had to restrain herself from pulling out her hammer. At just the right moment, though, she realized that it wasn't something Hayama would do, and it would give everything away. Instead, she just turned and stared icily at the board, waiting for the next class to start.

School was over, and Sana and Hayama had walked back together to his house, talking about a lot of pointless stuff and avoiding the real problems and the real things that were on their minds- their promise of telling each other "something" after Hayama got his black belt, the fact that they were still stuck in each others' bodies, and everything that had happened on Saturday, for example.
Now they were standing outside his house in awkward silence. "Well… I guess you have to go back to my house today," Sana said. "Mama will start to get worried if 'I' don't come home soon… And Rei probably has about a million jobs lined up for 'me' by now."
Hayama silently nodded. A few seconds later, he said, "Well, see you tomorrow," and turned around, taking a few steps in the direction of Sana's house.
"Wait!" Sana yelled, reaching her hand out towards him. Noticing that there was no reason for her hand to be up, she put it back down, embarrassed. Hayama turned and went back, wondering what she seemed so freaked out about.
Sana's face went red as she thought about what would happen next… Or maybe it wouldn't. 'Come on, Sana… No, you're Hayama now. I am Akito Hayama,' she started thinking to herself again. 'I'm the brave one here now. It's my turn to be the brave one.'
"Maybe now I'll finally have the guts to do this," Sana said, not realizing she had said it aloud. She hesitated, then took a step closer to Hayama and leaned down to kiss him. At first, it felt awkward, like she was kissing herself. But soon, she realized that it didn't matter who they were on the outside, they were still themselves on the inside.
Hayama's eyes widened in surprise, but after a second or two, he relaxed, closing his eyes and kissing her back.
Sana's eyes fluttered shut, and when she pulled back to catch her breath and opened them, she gasped in shock. Looking back at her was… Hayama?!

Now, I'm sure you all got that last part, but just in case it was confusing (I know I didn't use very good wording), she saw that Hayama was back in his own body, lol. Also, sorry about how short this chapter was!
Anyways, please review! I'm very nervous about how this chapter turned out. Was it too weird? Good? Bad? Whatever you have to say about it, please do! If I don't get opinions, then I probably won't write any more for quite a while. So please, if you read at all, please, please review!
