An Unknown Love Letter

Chapter 2

Laying on her bed in her pajamas, Ichigo could not helped but pondered about the meaning behind the poem. 'Does that mean that he actually likes me? But then…why is he always mean to me?'

But doesn't he always singled you out? The miniture Ichigo said to the large one.

'That's true. But he was always such a jerk to me!'

Well ever heard of a thing how people are mean to those who they like?

Knowing that she had won, Mini Ichigo yelled out in triumphed. Ichigo stayed silent. Nighttime passed by and soon it was time for her to go to school. On her way to school, Ichigo could not help but reflect the emotions she had felt whenever Ryou was in his kind mood. She recalled every detail, every butterfly that fluttered. She realized that her crush for Masaya had really indeed blinded her feelings for Ryou. Now knowing that Ryou felt the same way, if not stronger.

"What am I going to do?" Ichigo cried out during break.

"Is there anything that's bothering you Momomiya-san?" Masaya said to her.

"Eek!" Ichigo cried out in shock. After calming herself down, she said to him. "What makes you think that there's anything that's bothering me?"

"It seems that your mind is anywhere but here." Masaya replied, sitting down beside her.

"No..not really. I was just thinking about some things." Ichigo mumbled, blushing feveriously due to the body heat that was emitted from Masaya.

"Well you the know the best way to sort some things out is to place them in a category. It's easier that way because not only does it helps you figure out what you need, but it helps you become a better person that way." Masaya said. Standing up he said to her, "I better go. I have kendo practice next. Bye Momomiya-san."

"Bye and thank you for your advice…Aoyama-kun." Ichigo said softly.

"Does your feelings for Aoyama blinded the feelings that you might have for Ryou? Think about that." Keiichiro's voice reminded Ichigo in her head.

'Is my feelings for Aoyama-kun really close my eyes to the feelings that I might have for Shirogane? If that's true, then what does this mean? Do I really like Shirogane in that way?' Ichigo shook her head at that comment, yet her heart pounded whenever the name 'Shirogane' or 'Ryou' comes up. 'I better take Aoyama-kun's advice then.'

Grabbing a notebook from her backpack, Ichigo made a list. After making the pros list, she noticed that both Ryou and Masaya has the same type of pros. 'Maybe the cons list will break the tie.' Ichigo thought. She wrote the list down from her heart.

Cons for Shirogane: Most of the time, he's a jerk. He won't give me a raise. I hate for him making me feel like this.

Cons for Aoyama-kun: I can't think of any…besides the fact that he could get any girl he wants.

Looking at the last con for Shirogane, Ichigo was confused as to why she wrote that on the paper. "I hate him for making me feel like this…" Ichigo repeated to herself. "I hate him for making me feel like this…" She said again. "Is this coming from my heart? What I have for Aoyama-kun is just a schoolgirl's crush?"

The schoolbell's rang. "Better get to class. I'll ask the girls at the café for some help." Ichigo said as she rushed toward class.

Back at the café, Ryou Shirogane was seen looking all over his room. "Where is it?" He muttered. "I know I left it on the table."

"Is there anything wrong Ryou?" Keiichiro's voice said as he stood at the doorway.

"Yeah. Have you seen a piece of paper?" Ryou said underneath his desk.

"What kind of paper?" Keiichiro raised an eyebrow to this question, though secretly he knew what kind of paper Ryou was talking about.

"It's a piece of paper with words on it." Ryou answered, making his reply seemed more vague than he wanted Keiichiro to know.

"Well if you aren't being specific about it, then you're on your own. Good luck Ryou. I'll be in the kitchen preparing for today's special." Keiichiro said as left the doorway.

'Where could it be? I hope it's not in the wrong hands…' Ryou thought worriedly.

Sakura Moon:

Ok, this chapter sucks. But I already knew from the start that it's going to be short. Maybe in the future I will rewrite this chapter. Also, I'm pretty sure that this story will end around either chapter 5 or chapter 6.

I will also makea Yahoo Group featuring the stories that I'm planning to write and possibly making some outlines to do while I still have free time. I'll put it in my homepage once it's done. So check back around either this week or next week. It will probably be simple unless there's some people who would like to decorate it.

Sakura Moon signing out.
