(arrival)
"WWWWWWWWOOOOOW!"Tajima exclaims at the scenery.
"were staing here?"
Part 1 end.
Kenkyona sits on the floor as if nothing else happens outside of this room. Chiyo has gone off with Momoe to visit the nearby baseball field, shes bored and all she can do is sit there.
She thinks about the past events, how she found Mihashi, after years of attempting therapy classes and psychologists. Shes not sure shes ready to be in Mihashi's life ,shes afraid shell hurt him again. She stuffs her portable pillow onto her face. The more she thinks about backing away from his life the more her heart hurts. Shes terrified of facing his mother. What will she think of the girl who took out all her grief on her son?
On top of all that, now that she's in the baseball team's cheerleading team, she might have to face Haruna at one point. The disgust she has towards him, why did she date him? Hormones? It sure wasn't love, She remembers he had forced her to date him. Everything he did was horrible. She made friends with Taka-chan only through their own hatred towards him. She begins to bite her nails a while, she wants to forget all this. But of course, people cant change over night.
Chiyo walks in on her, seeing her on the floor herself all a mess, she seems psychotic. It terrifies her,what is wrong with Kenkyona?
"Kenkyona-chan? Are you alright?" She says on her knees ready for her explanation.
Kenkyona wipes her eyes. "S-sorry I must have fallen asleep." She giggles with a smile almost believable, but Chiyo has seen her before the smile. She wants to ask her what's wrong. She wants to hear her out, and she wants Kenkyona to hear Chiyo out as well. Like they used to.
" Hey babes! Y'all wanna head over to the beach?" Tajima says in his bathing suit alongside Hanai and Mizutani.
"s-sure,"Kenkyona says,oddly stuttering.
Chiyo looks at Kenkyona. How can she recover so easily? Just a minute ago she looked like she was going to chew her nails don't to her fingers! Mizutani stares down at Kenkyona. Is he the only one seeing this? She looks like shes been crying all day. Totally out of character. He wants to find out, he's sure Kenkyona's not what she wants everyone to think.

Takaya sits down next to Mihashi he's staring at the sun out in the beach's horizon. Honestly, what goes on in this little guy's head? He's not sure how to speak to him without knowing what goes on his head.
"Better put on sunscreen you're gonna burn your face off at this rate," He says. Mihashi snaps off from his daydream. "You did, didn't you?"
"Mhm!"He says feeling accomplished. He watches as Takaya gets distracted by the sun as well."You know we're watching Musashino Dai ichi in a practice match tomorrow."
Mihashi thinks about it. He's aware of how Abe feels towards Haruna. He wonders how he feels watching the guy play. He wants to say something but he's too amazed by the series of events springing through his head at the moment. Abe is amazing. Abe looks at him."Don't worry about Haruna I highly doubt hed be focusing on me tomorrow."

"Hi!"Kenkyona shows up in an orange bikini, Mihashi blushes.
"Hey." Takaya says.
Kenkyona waits a moment. "Well? Aren't you going to say anything?"
Mihashi mumbles a few stutters. "HI…."
Kenkyona smiles. She's glad she's in love with him. She wants to think happy thoughts right now. She turns to Takaya.
"You look hot." He says. He says nothing more.
Kenkyona's sweat drops. Wow, she thinks. She remembers how Takaya didn't used to be so nice to her, not up until that day….
"Abe!" Yells Chiyo."Do you have the sheets for tomorrow?"
"Yeah," Abe says walking towards her.
Kenkyona is face to face with Mihashi, his face so round and innocent. It makes her heart flutter. She watches him eat a piece of watermelon, he almost gulps it up.
" Mihashi-kun!" She giggles, "You can eat!"She sits next to him on abe's spot.
He jumps trying not to act so surprised."I-its really…yummy?"He says.
"Yeah, It is, You have watermelon on your cheek," She mentions, and licks his cheek,then forms it to a kiss.
Mihashi turns bright red. He likes it, but he's blushing hard!
Then it hits Kenkyona. Who's cheek are you kissing? Your enemy. Get away from him you bitch. He doesn't like you he hates you. You almost killed him. You're no different than your father.
"No! "She whispers in his cheek. "I'm not like him!" Then she screams. "I'm not!"
Mihashi watches her faint. Kenkyona is overwhelmed by the emotions and events passing through her."Koetsuji-san!"He exclaims.
"What's going on? "Momoe says coming to the rescue.

Kenkyona opens her eyes. She's back in the hotel room, she lifts herself from her futon. She sees Takaya sitting at the corner of the room. She gazes at him who is staring back at her. What happened? Her head hurts terribly."What happened?"She asks finally gulping.
"You fainted like nothing,"Takaya says."Momoe asked to carry you but Mihashi insisted he'd do it,". He laughs at the flashback. Of course someone like Mihashi can carry kenkyona. Its almost as if she doesnt eat.
Kenkyona crawls towards Takaya and sits next to him. "Whats going through your mind right now?"Takaya asks, curious how she hasnt been herself lately.
She doesnt reply quickly,"I realized that you are the 2nd person who truly knows about me."
Takaya chuckles."Well, I didnt intentionally want to know,"
Kenkyona giggles,"Yeah, if it wasnt for Haruna we wouldnt even be friends."
Takaya bites his lip,"Well, even if it was inadvertantly, remembering those days,feel like yesterday."
Kenkyona lays her head on his shoulder. She feels the t-shirt she's currently wearing. She wonders if Taka-chan put it on her. He would do that too, considering she was only wearing a bikini.
She begins to drift off to flashbacks, and she wonders if Takaya is having them too...
