Author's Notes
Okay, before you guys can get mad or anything. I have a very valid explanation for it! First off, I had my quarterly exams and I wasn't allowed to use the computer unless it involves school work or something. Second, there were times that I was grounded because I wasn't doing my assignments so I wasn't able to update. Third and my most important reason, MY COMPUTER WAS REFORMATTED (again) WITHOUT ME KNOWING! Argh! I was even done with the thank you's and what I did (the chapter) was almost done! Damn. They didn't even had a backup for it or something. Grr…

And oh yeah, we are already moving out so I have to finish this chapter quick before they reformat it again. So anyway, I hope you guys can forgive me and I'll try to update sooner. Also, so that your reviews aren't wasted, here are my thanks…

-sweat drop- Okay, okay. I'm sorry. Don't get angry! Here's the update! (Mommy! Kidding) About the English thing, well maybe it's because we are forced to speak in English in school and also here at home for some unknown reason. Tch. Anyway, thanks for the review!

Thanks for the review. Actually, the other story isn't finished yet. I need an inspiration! You see, every time I have an inspiration, it always brings me to write another fic. But I'll still try to finish it and post it here.

Thanks for loving my story talaga. Hahaha. About having another story like this after this, well, I have to think about it. Hindi pa nga ako sigurado kung paano ko tatapusin 'to eh. Hehe. Help?

Chiban-chan
Yo! Gameshow huh? Ugh, actually I was thinking of editing chapter 18 and taking off Akiho's friends. I think it was already too OOC. Don't you think?

Lullaby OF DaRknEss
Yeah, I agree. I think it's also too OOC. Um, about the end of this. I'm not really sure. Maybe another 20 chapters will do. I'll try.

Um… If ever I forgot to reply to someone, forgive me. I say sorry again! I really am! Our summer is almost there so you will be expecting more chapters. And I already planned out how I would end this story. I can't just say it in public like this especially to those who doesn't want to spoil the story, if you want to know, PM me or something. Thank you. 

AND ANOTHER THING, VERY IMPORTANT, I'm discarding Akiho's friends; except maybe Jenny and another one. I already edited Chapter 18 of this story because I don't know what I will do with Akiho's other friends. I think I'll just leave Jenny. I'll add some random people in some scenes.

Kaji – Tetsushi

Tsujiai - Hiroki

Chapter Nineteen
Going Home

Finally, their trip was finally over. They had to admit, many things happened, but it was past whether it's good or bad – which brings us now in our scene, the trip back to school.

It was 6 AM in the beach and everyone already woke up to eat breakfast and start to pack their things. It is said that they will start to go back to school at around 9 AM. Everyone had to shower and blah so they should be awake early.

The girls, Ayu, Nina and Sayaka were already helping each other in fixing the house to keep it from its original place – clean, tidy and no mess. Tetsushi, Hiroki and Yuta are still sleeping and snoring. The girls decided that they will just wake them up at around 6:30 or something. They already started to make their breakfast and showered before the guys woke up.

Ayu

She stepped out of the bathroom and changed into her clothes. She combed her long hair and thought of cutting it since it was already past her waist. Not that she didn't like it; it was just tiring for her to comb it over and over again with that length.

Ayu wore a green tank top, flared jeans and sneakers. She already started to fix their things since last night – hers and Tetsushi's. You can see around their room that bags and plastic bags were everywhere. The things that were out were just the clothes that Tetsushi's going to use and that were it.

Speaking of Tetsushi, he was still lying on the bed sound asleep. Ayu looked at him and smiled.

Nina

Once she came back inside the room, their things were also packed up. Like Ayu's, all that was left were the clothes that Hiroki and she will use and it's all packed. She looked at his boyfriend and suddenly looked sleepy also. To prevent from sleeping again, she rushed to the bathroom and took a shower.

Since they came back from the carnival, they were both tired especially Tsujiai allowing Nina to bring him anywhere and everywhere she wants.

Flashback

"Come on Hiroki! You're soo slow!" Nina exclaimed as she ran around the carnival.

"Honestly, where does she get her energy?" Hiroki said to himself and laughed about it.

Nina saw this and said, "Eh? What's so funny?"

"Nothing," Hiroki said as he caught up with her.

"Good, cause now we're going to the Roller Coster, and the Ferris Wheel, and then we'll buy some cotton candy, and then maybe even the Merry-Go-Round!" Nina exclaimed.

'She's acts like a kid! But that's what I like about her,' Hiroki thought as he looked at his watch. 'Good Lord! It's 10 PM already!'

The carnival was going to close at around 12 PM and Hiroki was aware of that and preparing when they were going back.

Let's just say they got back until the carnival closes and Nina wasn't still satisfied even though she was already aware of the time.

End of Flashback

So don't wonder that Hiroki is going to wake up late since he has a very valid reason.

Sayaka

"Bang! Bang!" Sayaka heard Yuta say. She giggled as she found out that Yuta was dreaming.

"I'm winning!" Yuta exclaimed and tossed around the bed.

Sayaka got her clothes and started to take a shower.

-

As soon as the girls were finished showering, they still saw that their boyfriends were still sleeping. Ayu rolled her eyes as she thought of a way to wake Tetsushi up and smirked.

She's going to suffocate him.

Not the way of strangling him or something, physical contact of the lips for a long time is already enough. Ayu laughed inwardly as she bent down and gave her boyfriend a long kiss until he wakes up.

-

"Mou!" Nina whined as she saw that Hiroki was still sleeping once she finished changing. She looked at her watch as she saw that it was already 6:37 AM.

Nina pouted as she thought of an idea.

She's going to pound on him… And she did.

"HIROKI!" Nina exclaimed as she jumped on him causing for Hiroki to wake up.

-

Sayaka felt refreshed after showering. She sighed as she looked at Yuta who was drooling.

She just bent down and shook Yuta with all her might. All she got was Yuta turning around. She sighed again as she just levitated Yuta with her magic until he reached almost the ceiling.

-

As these actions were made, after a few seconds, 3 masculine yells were heard throughout the whole cottage.

"AHH!!" 3 male voices said.

The 3 girls smirked from their separate rooms.

Ayu

Yes, Tetsushi was one of those men who yelled. Well, this is what happened…

Once Ayu bent down and kissed Tetsushi for a long time, after 15 seconds or so, Tetsushi's eyes suddenly snapped open because he was at loss of breath.

"AHH!!" was Tetsushi's reply making Ayu laugh hysterically. Tetsushi tried to hide his blush but Ayu saw it all.

"Good morning to you too," Ayu giggled at her fiancé's reaction. "Finally you're awake." she added.

Tetsushi groaned as he got out of bed. He was just wearing a white shirt and some shorts – his hair messy since he just woke up. (Can I drool? Kidding! XD)

"Go on and take a shower. Breakfast will be ready as soon as you're out." Ayu explained as she fixed the bed until a pair of strong arms held her waist.

"Mou…Do I have to?" Tetsushi said as he wrapped his arms around Ayu, eyes closed.

"Yes, you really do. Once you're done showering, I'll put your clothes on the bed and you can change, okay?"

"Why don't you shower with me?" Tetsushi said followed by a yawn.

Ayu sighed, "I'm already done showering. Now go!" she said.

Tetsushi groaned as he released her and went inside the shower. "So bossy…" he murmured.

"I heard that!" Ayu said and giggled as she heard the door close. She finished fixing the bed and placed Tetsushi's clothes on the bed. She went outside in the dining area and set the table.

Nina

Yes, I know. It's kind of unusual for Hiroki to yell like that. But who knows? Maybe he really does.

Hiroki opened his eyes momentarily and found his girlfriend sitting on him! (More like straddling really…:P) And yelled…"AHH!!"

Nina winced as Hiroki sat up making Nina fall from the bed with a loud 'thud'.

Hiroki breathed rapidly as he looked at Nina and finally came to his senses. He sat at the edge of the bed and lifted Nina up.

"Oh God, I'm sorry!" Hiroki exclaimed as Nina sat down beside him only to find her…giggling? Well, that's Nina for you.

Nina laughed. "It's okay Hiroki. I'm the one who should be sorry. I jumped on you but you really need to wake up!" Nina stuck her tongue out at him.

Hiroki snickered. "Fine, I'll just go and take a shower." he said.

"Oh and Hiroki, after that, please go outside and have some breakfast." Nina said as she walked to the door. Once she got Hiroki's approval, she went out and helped Ayu out.

Sayaka

Yuta felt that he was gonna fall! Well, actually he did once Sayaka saw that Yuta's eyes were already open. When Sayaka saw it, she finally let him down making Yuta fall on the bed. Good thing that it has a soft mattress, if not, well…all I can say is…OUCH.

Yuta glared at his girlfriend but it didn't have an effect on Sayaka. She just smirked.

"You're mean, you know that?" Yuta sat up and rubbed his back.

"Honestly Yuta, no." Sayaka said as she giggled. "But I just wanted to have fun." she added.

"And taking advantage of people is fun for you?" Yuta raised a brow and Sayaka just nodded.

Sayaka giggled as she sat down beside Yuta. "Okay Yuta, I'm sorry." she said.

"Fine, fine. What do you want me up for anyway?" He asked as he recovered.

"It's past 6:30 Yuta. Take a shower and have breakfast after. Our bus leaves at 9. No more no less." Sayaka explained.

Yuta leaned back on the bed. "I can just transport us back home." He said as his back was turned to Sayaka.

She just rolled her eyes and sighed as she shook Yuta. "Come on Yuta, take a shower. It's no fun if you transport us. If you want, you can transport yourself, I'll take the bus."

Yuta turned to Sayaka. "Ugh! Fine…" he said as he walked to the bathroom. Sayaka went outside the room to Ayu and Nina.

Dining Room

Sayaka saw that Ayu was finishing her cooking while Nina sets the table.

"Mmm…Smells good, Ayu-san," Sayaka said as she walked in. Ayu looked back and smiled at her, "Thanks Sayaka-san. Oh, and please don't add –san after my name. I'm not used to it," she said.

"Only if you won't add –san into my name," Sayaka said.

"Deal,"

"So, are the guys up yet? I already woke Hiroki up," Nina said.

"I already woke Tetsushi up," Ayu said.

"And Yuta too," Sayaka added.

"Good," Nina said.

Just as they finished, 3 men arrived at the dining area all greeting, "Ohayou," lazily. This just made all the girls laugh.

-

Breakfast was already finished at around 7:45 AM since while eating; they were also chatting about stuff. Their teachers told them to assembly at around 8:30 AM at once so they can see who is not there yet.

(I'm going to rush the time. I'll jump to the Assembly.)

Assembly

Students started going to their assembly area were the buses are. Many were chatting, talking and exchanging stories. Teachers tried to explain what to do but it seems the students already know what to do.

"You should've seen me being dragged by Nina all night!" Hiroki explained as Nina pounded him on the head making the others laugh.

"Then you should've said something rather than whining now!" Nina exclaimed.

Hiroki just sighed making the others laugh louder.

"Well, well. Look what we have here," some voice called.

The group, Ayu, Tetsushi, Nina, Hiroki, Yuta and Sayaka looked at the direction where the voice came. Even though it's a bit crowded, students can tell who is who.

"Akiho-san," Ayu said.

"Ohayou," Akiho nodded while Jenny was just by her side.

"What do you want now? Don't you know when to quit?!" Yuta asked, pissed off.

"Oh dear Yuta, it's such an early and beautiful morning for you to say things like that," Akiho said.

"And it's too early for you to be pissing me off. Leave us alone!" Yuta exclaimed.

The others didn't want to attract too much attention so they tried stopping them. Sayaka held onto Yuta's arm, "Stop Yuta, she's not worth it." she said.

"You know Yuta, you can learn a lot from your girlfriend."

"And now you may leave." Tetsushi said, trying to hide his annoyance.

"You guys are so cold; we've been all together on one roof so why treat me like this now?" Akiho smirked.

"And we kicked you out!" Yuta said, Sayaka still holding on to him just so he won't attack just in case.

"No, actually I left."

"And you can do that again! Right now!" Yuta's teeth gritted.

Akiho turned her back to them, "Fine. But we'll see who will win in the end." she said. She turned back again and looked straightly and deadly at Ayu. "And I will make Tetsushi mine!" she exclaimed as she pointed warningly at Ayu and winked at Kaji.

"Let's go Jenny," she added as they walked away.

"Tch, who is she trying to scare?" Yuta said as Sayaka let go of him.

"Yuta, calm down," Sayaka said.

"It's hard to say if that girl is really in love or just obsessed with Tetsushi," Nina said making them all look at Tetsushi who sweatdropped.

"Hmm…you're right! What does this guy that I don't?" Yuta seemed to examine Tetsushi.

"And what? Let Akiho be obsessed with you?" Hiroki crossed his arms.

"Eww!" Yuta said as his form turned into gay-like and crossed his arms across his chest. "I'm a virgin!" he exclaimed.

Everyone laughed at that. "Be careful of your boyfriend Yuta, have second thoughts now!" Tetsushi said.

"I'm already in the process of having second thoughts!" Sayaka exclaimed having two thumbs up.

"You guys are mean!" Yuta said.

"I would be mean rather than being gay," Hiroki said and they all cracked up again.

"Okay guys! It's already 9 AM! Is everybody here?" Mr. Mikami announced.

"Hai!" Everybody answered.

Everyone boarded the bus and were on their way back to school in Shuei Jr. High. (Is that in Okinawa? The school I mean. At first I was sure, now I'm not. Help? But I really think it's in Okinawa. LOL)

Obviously, Ayu and Tetsushi were seated together and so were the rest of the couples.

Ayu held her shoulder bag and saw her cell phone, "Oh! It's been awhile since I used my phone," she said.

"Oh yeah?" Tetsushi said.

Ayu nodded. She looked at her Inbox and saw 15 messages all from 'Okaasan'. She sweatdropped as she saw this.

"What's wrong?" Tetsushi asked.

"Nothing, it's just that mother kept on texting me about preparation and blah. I guess it's not good when you leave your cell phone unused." Ayu explained.

Tetsushi just chuckled. "Now I wonder what happened to my cell phone," he said. He clutched his cell phone in hand and his wall paper was a picture of Ayu and himself hugging together and zoomed in on the face.

He, too, also sweatdropped since his mother also texted many nothingness and sighed.

"You too?" Ayu giggled.

Tetsushi nodded making Ayu laugh louder.

And the trip back home was satisfying and happy.

Okay! I'm done with this chapter! Yey! I'm really sorry guys for the long delay. Hope you forgive me. I'm really happy about your reviews and the number it reached. Thank you very much!

Oh yeah, I think this story will be ending soon. And most of the review replies I got were to make the ending a wedding. But the hard thing for that is, they're too young! I can't get them to get married, can I? If that's possible, talk to me people about it!

Please review! (:
