C'est La Vie Chapter 2

Hey, guys! Thanks for the reviews! I really was excited about this story! Midterms are over (yes!) and I have more free time to write. Read on!

Mizuki nodded.

Sano stood still, staring at her, mouth agape. He looked quickly toward the window, as if wondering if the girl was still there.

"That girl back there, she just asked me to be her boyfriend. It is Valentine's Day after all," she added quickly.

"So," a soft voice asked, "What did you say?" Sano stood there, with a troubled look on his face. All the rest of the gang stooped eating lunch and looked expectantly at Mizuki.

"I—I said," She took a deep breath. "I said I'd think about it," she added in a small voice, looking down at the floor.

Nanba burst in, "Way, to go! Ask her out!"

"Yeah!" a smiling Nakao added. 'Ha, ha! Now I'll have Nanba all to myself! (Evil grin)'

"Come on, Mizuki, this is your golden opportunity. Don't waste this chance, any other guy would have taken it!" "Yeah!" Noe added, to Sekime's response. Both were always looking for a girlfriend, and were deeply disappointed when other guys brushed off girls.

Nakatsu stared open-mouthed at her, until finally bursting into tears. "No! You can't, go out with me instead!" He was too mad to finish his lunch.

The only ones who were silent were Kayashima and Sano. Kayashima looked, knowingly, at Ashiya. 'Poor girl, I wish I could help her. She really doesn't want to go out with that girl.' He put a caring hand out and patted Mizuki on the shoulder. He mentally shook his head at Sano, sensing a deeper pain.

Sano stared at the opposite wall, thinking. 'Why can't she just stay out of trouble! Oh, god, I wish I were that girl, asking Mizuki out. What if Mizuki says yes, and her secret is exposed!' He banged his fist on the lunch table, causing Nakatsu's uneaten lunch to be upturned. Everyone stared at him.

"Sano, you alright? Your face is a little red." Mizuki looked concernedly at him with big, brown eyes.

He touched his face. It was hot; he had gotten embarrassed just thinking about her. "Yeah, I'm fine. Let's go, I've left something in the dorm for Japanese next period. Come with me," he insisted, pulling Mizuki's sleeve.

She followed him, looking back and saying with an oh-so-fake smile, "Bye, see you in a little while."

Sano kept pulling, disregarding everyone else. Once they got to the dorm, he closed the door behind them and turned to face Mizuki. "What do you think you're doing? You can't go out with that girl!"

Mizuki was taken aback at his comment. "And why can't I? I can go out with whomever I want!" She stared defiantly at Sano.

He had momentarily (more like half an hour) forgotten that she wasn't supposed to be a girl. NOW he remembered this alarmingly important fact. "Uh…yeah…sorry," he said scratching the back of his head. "I don't know what I was talking about…oh, look, there's my Japanese notes, let's go!" He grabbed a random piece of paper from the desk and started walking briskly towards the door.

Mizuki saw what he had picked up. She caught his arm, saying, "Uh, Sano, that's my letter to Shizuki. Is there something else you wanted to tell me," she added softly, looking into his eyes.

Shizuki is her older brother, who knows that she is in a boy's school.

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed it, there will be another episode out in a few days.

Thanks to .yashamew for that review, I love reviews! (It did have to happen)

Thanks to Hotoami for the other review. I didn't know that I'd gotten more sophisticated with my writing, although I did write the first few chapters of Watching about a year ago. I've been doing more writing this past year, maybe it helped! I'm going to try to write more and continue with all my stories (I also have a Pirates one).

Finally, thanks to Akane Cross for the last review. Glad you liked it!Mizuki is so sweet, I would want to be her friend if she was real. But, that happens when people are nice, guys (and girls) like them. So, this would have had to happen anyways!

Please review! As I said above, I LOVE reviews, even if they are just to say that you liked my story. It keeps me writing!

Thanks everyone, for reading!
