Chapter 10:

You might say it was another ordinary day but it wasn't, it was Valentines Day every teen's day to be with the ones they loved. The whole class was like a bunch of teens on sugar highs (well they were teens on sugar highs but let's not go into that), except for two students, amazingly it was the most popular students in the school, Souta and Kumiko. They were both pretending to listen to their excited friends but were actual staring into space lost in their own worlds.

Kumiko

"Oh my god I got valentines this morning!"

"I bet it was from Daiki!"

"I hope it is his sooo hot!"

"I'd prefer to get one from Taro personally"

"Kumiko, who do you like?"

"Kumiko?"

"KUMIKO!"

"Huh?" Kumiko looked at her two new friends Aya and Chiyo. Aya had bouncy black hair that reached her shoulders and seemed to have a life of its own. She was average height and was average sized but she was anything but average, especially when it came to her looks. Chiyo, she used to be the most beautiful and sought after girl that was before Kumiko came though. Chiyo's mother was from America and used to be a model which explained Chiyo's looks. She had long blonde hair, real blonde not that half brown half blonde, blonde. She had light blue eyes, and she was slim. She was in any average guys eyes, perfect! Both of these girls had seen the looks their classmates had given Kumiko when she first arrived at their school and had both sympathized with her as they had both been in her shoes. Any outsider would have looked at the three and thought they were the popular girls, they would have been dead wrong. These 3 girls were among the most hated by other girls as they stole the boy's attention. Of course among the boys these girls might be very popular but seen as no boy could ever get their attention they weren't that popular among them either. Any way back to the conversation.

"We were just talking about the boys we liked, Aya thinks she got valentines from that guy she likes, Daiki and I was saying how I liked Taro"

"So who do you like Kumiko?"

"Err…" Kumiko stole a glance at Souta who was sitting trying to hide a blush from his friends by the looks of it. 'Wonder what made him blush?'

"I knew it!"

"What?"

"She likes that Souta guy!"

"Shhh… I do not!"

"Then why were you staring at him?"

"I was just wondering why he was blushing that's all"

"There had to be a reason why you looked at him after I asked that question, plus you're blushing like a tomato!"

Souta

"So did you give Aya her valentine Daiki?"

"Huh? Oh yea, did you give Chiyo hers?"

"Yea, I wonder if they like us."

"So Yoshi did you give Kumiko anything?"

"Yoshi?"

"YOSHI!"

"What!"

"Did you give Kumiko anything?"

"Why would I?"

"Because you like her"

"No I don't!" Souta was now glaring at his friend hoping like hell that the heat he felt creeping up on his face wasn't a blush but just in case he looked away trying to hide it. Out of the corner of his eye he could she Kumiko looking at him and then turn back to her friends and blush. 'Wonder who she likes?'

"Oh my god the great Souta is blushing!"

Souta turned to glare at Taro. "At least I've spoken to Kumiko, unlike you guys, you've barely said a word to the girls you like!"

"So what"

"It's not like we're scared or anything!"

Daiki looked at Souta who now had an evil look on his face. 'Oh crap now we're in for it'

"So go talk to them, prove to me you aren't scared"

"Fine we will! Come on Daiki"

"Do we have to?"

"Why are you scared?"

"No!"

"Souta you have to come with us and talk to Kumiko to prove to us you aren't scared of her!"

"Fine!"

All three boys got up from their seats and headed over to the three girls.
