OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

After a fun filled weekend Monday had finally arrived unwanted. New week of school, waking up early, and, learning. Who wants that? Yuzuyu yawned as she reached the main entrance of the school to greet to Shouta. She instantly had a burst of energy and jumped on Shouta. Seeing her prince charming always brightened her day. He seriously was the model boyfriend, completely perfect. Was he supposed to be this perfect? Are relationships supposed to go this well when it's been almost two months? She put those questions to the back of her mind. They didn't really matter anyway.

"Good morning Yuzu." Shouta smiled and kissed her on her forehead.

"Morning Shouta. How did you sleep yesterday? When we got off the phone you didn't sound sleepy at all." Yuzuyu asked leaning into his chest so he could hold her.

"I slept fine. You worry too much you know that don't you?" He said with a smile. She really did though. Last night was very relaxing, his mom seemed to be in a better mood than most days but it wasn't going to last, he knew that for a fact. But yesterday was fine; Yuzuyu definitely worries too much.

"I can't help it though."

"Worrying causes gray hairs…never mind."

"Ha, it's naturally that color already so, you can't use that." She smiled feeling triumphant.

"I guess you're right." He chuckled a bit.

"Yo." Ken said waving to Shouta.

"Sup." Shouta replied. Even though it was a short hello, the boys seem to have telepathic powers when it comes to each other. Even though it sounded like two hellos, they just had a conversation about how tired they were. You'd never be able to tell though.

"Good morning Shouta." Marika chimed. She felt lovely that morning; she's been feeling good every morning actually. She'd have to thank Ken and Shouta later. Ken made her life worth living, and Shouta got Yuzuyu up and out on time everyday for school. Yup, life was good.

They heard the bell rang and headed off to class.

Oxoxoxoxoxoxo

They sat down at their table to eat and Ken began to speak.

"So are you excited for practice today Shouta?"

"Not really. I mean, I know how everything works pretty much, but I'll be doing the same types of warm ups and running exercises, practices suck a little bit."

"That sounds like it sucks dude." Ken replied. Marika and Yuzuyu were pretty quiet for the most part, not much to say, but nothing was wrong, it was just one of those days.

"I had a lot of fun Saturday by the way Yuzu." Ken said grabbing her attention from daydreaming.

"I'm glad you did Ken, it's been a while since everyone was there and it was that rowdy." Yuzuyu said.

(Flashback)

"Kippei!! Stop!! Get off!!"

"But Satsuki I missed you!!" Kippei yelled as he clung to his brother.

"You just talked to me on the phone! Let go!" Satsuki tried to push him off but Kippei was like glue, or something really really sticky, or maybe a leech…Satsuki couldn't decide. Kokoro and Ayumi watched.

"How have you been Kokoro?" Ayumi asked with a smile.

"I've been really good Ayumi, Kippei and I got you and Satsuki presents while we were in Okinawa." Kokoro answered with an elegant smile. When Kokoro smile it was calming, Ayumi couldn't help but be jealous. She admired Kokoro for the way she presented herself. So graceful and beautiful, she has really become a gorgeous woman.

"Really? Thank you so much!" Ayumi said with a cheesy grin. She loved gifts.

"It was no problem at all." Kokoro thought Ayumi was the prettiest girl on the face of the planet. It was no wonder she was such a famous model. Plus she had been doing it since she was twelve. Kokoro wished she had the guts.

"MOM!! KIPPEI WON'T LET ME GO!!"

"BOYS! ENOUGH! KIPPEI LET GO OF SATSUKI THIS INSTANT!"

"Aw…mom…I missed my little brother…"

"Kippei, I've missed you too but you know I don't like being jumped on like that." Satsuki fixed his white button-up shirt.

"Sorry Satsuki…"

"Shut up…you don't have to apologize."

"But you told on me. Mom had to yell at me."

"When has she not yelled at you though, don't tell me you're not used to it anymore." Satsuki asked with a smile. Kippei smiled back. It was nice to act like little kids in your parents' house once in a while. It keeps you young at heart.

"They haven't changed much in ten years have they?" Ayumi asked as she sipped some tea.

"Nope, especially not Kippei. Growing up isn't even in his agenda for being an adult." She giggled a bit at her husband.

(End Flashback)

"It was nice that Satsuki was able to come though. I haven't seen him in a while." Yuzuyu finished as she sipped her drink.

"Kippei is definitely one of a kind." Marika said as she laughed lightly. Kippei was different than most and that's why she had such a crush on him for so long. But Ken was better for her in every way. True love is all about your perfect match and Ken is her perfect everything.

"He sure is." Yuzuyu agreed. "So Shouta when is your first race?"

"Um, I think its this Thursday." He answered.

"This Thursday? Are you going to be ready in time?"

"Yeah. We're not going to be at our best but we'll be ok, I've talked to some of the people on the track team, and all of them seem to be pretty fast so I'm not really worried. Plus the first one isn't really that important anyway." He said drinking the last bit of his drink.

"Oh. Okay, well I can't wait to see you run today. I'm SO SO excited!" Yuzuyu said with enthusiasm.

"I just realized I have cleaning duty today. Darn it…" Marika said.

"I'll stay with you Marika."

"But Ken you'll get in trouble."

"I don't care. As long as the cleaning gets done, I don't think they care who cleans it."

"I guess you're right. If you get in trouble though I'm smacking you."

"Ok." He kissed her on the cheek.

Oxoxoxoxoxoxo

After school Yuzuyu sat up in the bleachers so she could watch Shouta easily. It was a pretty decent day to be outside, though when you ran you would get that slightly cold breeze it was comfortable. Before Shouta went out to the track he went over to the bleachers.

"You know Yuzu, my practices are going to be boring, are you sure you want to stay and watch?" He asked standing in front of her in a t-shirt and sweatpants. He looked so laid back and comfortable, she's never seen him this way before.

"Of course I want to stay. You ask silly questions you know that?"

"I'm sorry. If you get thirsty or anything I have stuff in my bag for you."

"Really? You bought things for me?" She was so happy he thought about her.

"Well I bought some water for me too. But there's a bag of chips in there for you as well." He smiled.

"Thank you Shouta. You're always thinking about me." She stood up and kissed him. "Enjoy your practice, run hard ok."

"I'll try." He kissed her once more on the cheek and ran out to the track with the rest of the team.

Yuzuyu watched as the coach made each person run once around the track to see how fast he or she was. Once it was Shouta's turn Yuzuyu stopped eating her chips her boyfriend so kindly got her and watched as Shouta kneeled, then pushed his butt up and dashed off. Neither Yuzuyu nor the other teammates blinked when Shouta was running. His speed was incredible and the wind seemed to keep all his hair out of his face. Shouta came back around and the coach whistled and stopped his stopwatch.

"Well now, very impressive Shouta-kun." The coach smiled as he looked at the stopwatch.

"Thanks coach." Shouta replied not sweating an ounce or breathing too hard.

"You seem to be the fastest boy here at the moment. Very nice job."

"Thank you." Shouta smiled humbly. Some of his teammates looked at him with slight jealousy, others were impressed, especially the girls.

"YAY SHOUTA!! YOU'RE SO AMAZING!!" Yuzuyu was incredibly surprised that he was so fast. It was unimaginable speed. Shouta saw and waved at her with a wide grin. All the girls were completely jealous but they all knew Yuzuyu and all knew how sweet she really was. No one truly wanted to mess that up for her and they all saw that Shouta was happy with her every single day so messing that up for him was a no no as well.

An hour later Shouta was finished with his first day of practice and he hurried into the boys locker room so he could change. He came out and saw Yuzuyu standing near the exit of the track. He walked up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder opposite from where he was. She looked to her right and saw no one and then looked to her left and smiled.

"You always fall for that."

"I know, I can't help it."

"Ready to go?"

"Yup."

They began to walk home and Yuzuyu couldn't help but think how fun it was going to be to see Shouta beat all his opponents with his speed. The thought of someone being faster than him was laughable.

"I can't wait for your first meet. I'm going to be the loudest one there."

"Are you?"

"Yup! Everyone is going to look at me like I'm crazy. Its exciting to think about."

"What? People thinking you're crazy or my meet?"

"Again with the silly questions?"

"I'm kidding I'm kidding."

"You're coach seemed really really impressed with you. I wouldn't be surprised if some one wanted you to run professionally."

"I wouldn't do it though."

"Why?" She asked in slight shock. To think he wouldn't do something that he's amazing at for a living was perplexing to her.

"It's just a hobby. If I became professional than I don't think I would enjoy it as much. I like running because of how it makes me feel, not because I'm obligated to do it."

"Oh, that's understandable. Than what do you want to do when you get out of high school?"

"I was thinking about becoming a Chef."

"A chef? Really?"

"Well yeah. I really like cooking. It's fun in my opinion."

"That's so cute Shouta, I didn't know that." Yuzuyu was happy to find out something new about him. For some reason what they wanted to do when they go out of high school never came up. Maybe she felt like it would speed up time but knowing where you were headed wouldn't hurt much.

"Well what do you want to be Yuzu?" He asked truly curious. Out of all the things they talked about this wasn't a popular subject. He didn't have anything against talking about the future; they just never talked about it.

"I'm not really sure, it's between a novelist and a teacher."

"Hm, I could see you being a teacher. What grade would you want to teach?"

"Kindergarten up to second. I really like little kids and I wouldn't mind teaching them things and helping them learn. I really think that teachers are a really big part in a child's life. If there were no teachers than where would we be? Parents provide guidance and support for a child. They teach them what's right and what's wrong. But teachers help children count money and learn their A,B,C's, they help with their months, and addition and subtraction. They're important, and it's a wonderful feeling when you teach someone something and they understand it and can do it on their own."

"Wow, you sound like you appreciate all your teachers very much."

"I do."

"You've never had a problem with any of them?"

"Why would I?"

"I don't know, there are some teachers out there that just shouldn't be teachers."

"Well I've never had a mean teacher before."

"I guess its kind of silly for me to expect you to have had a problem with teachers. You've got this charm that wins everyone over. Or maybe it's that adorable smile?"

"Heehee it could be the smile." She giggled.

"That's what wins me over." Shouta said with a smile as he pulled Yuzuyu closer to him. There was a comfortable silence and they reached her house. He stopped at the porch and kissed her softly.

"I'll call you later ok."

"Ok. I'll be waiting…or talking to Marika BUT I'll still be waiting." He laughed at her response. At least she was honest.

"Haha, alright then. Bye Yuzu."

"See ya Shouta." She walked inside the house after she couldn't see Shouta's back anymore.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Shouta's first track practice, isn't he amazing? I think I did bad on this chapter. My head wasn't in it all the way. I'm really sorry, I have a very good reason for why this chapter came out so bad I swear I do. I'll make it better one day but right now I want to know what you think.
