Natsuki woke up, still tired from the party. After the exchanging, she tried skateboarding with Kazuko and Kiana, but unfortuanetly, she fell many times. Yeah, she could ride it now, but Kiana was much better, since in America Skaters were much more common.

But when she woke up, there was a box.

It was small.

She picked it up and smiled, with a faint blush. She knew who it was from immediately, just from the way the bow on the green and blue wrapping was tied. It was Shizuru's, a special tie she had done so it looked very 'cute', and she had showed it to Natsuki. It was kind of like there special tie, it was a little memory that there lives would be tied together no matter what.

Opening it, she found a small blue velvet box, and opening it was a ring. No, not one of those proposing marriage rings, Natsuki knew Shizuru would never buy that, but it was still a ring.

For a forever friendship probably.

Natsuki let out a low chuckled, and put it on her index finger. It fit perfectly. The ring had a beautiful gem, it was an emerald, but there was some diamonds plated onto the ring itself.

"Haha, funny, we both gave each other a gem…"

Natsuki flipped around on her bed, examining the ring. It was beautiful, well, obviously, since Shizuru had bought it. Natsuki brought her hand down to examine it closely, and smiled even more. It really was magnificent, and it fit her so well. Kissing it lightly, she wished upon a forever friendship.

But she didn't want that. She wanted to break down, she was just plain confused.

Kazuko freaked. Kenju was in his room, and sleeping soundly. Of course, they didn't do anything inappropriate except make out, but…okay that is inappropriate but they had never went farther than that.

But it was 7 Am in the morning, and if his parents found them sleeping together, especially with Kazuko all cuddled up in Kenju's arms, god knows what will happen. He was lucky enough Takeda didn't catch them sneaking away, but it was obvious to Kazuko that he was wacking his life away on something.

Yes it did disgust him, but first things first.

Kazuko blushed when he realized something else. Maybe they did go a bit far, both had their shirts off.

Pushing Kenju off himself, Kazuko got up and stretched, and put on a new shirt. Shaking Kenju lightly, Kazuko whispered into his ear, "Hey, Kenju, wake up…"

Kenju's eyes fluttered open and he stared at his little skater boy, before kissing him lightly on the lips. By the time they were done, Kazuko was fully red and out of breath.

Nodding, Kenju opened Kazuko's window, and jumped out of it easily, landing on the grass just outside, before waving, and running off. Kazuko smiled, until his door opened suddenly. Oh shit…

"Kazuko- oh good you're up, okay, you need to stay here and watch your little sister."

Kazuko smiled, his sister, Kaye, was his little remake. She too played the drums, could skate, and practically joked the same way around Kazuko. Not only that, but she was annoyed of Takeda too, mainly cause he was too "old" and "cool" for him to hang out with her. Whatever, Kaye was only a year younger than Kazuko, and Kazuko had Kaye on his Top 10 Important List.

"Kay, mom, I'll take care of Kaye…haha…funny" Kazuko's mom glared at his stupid joke before kissing his forehead and hitting him lightly on the head.

"You make bad jokes silly. Bye, I love you sweetie."

"Bye mom…"

Kazuko grinned. He should take Kaye to meet Natsuki and Kiana, it would be a nice idea.

Kazuko yawned, pulled on a pair of pants before he realized he didn't sleep with any, just his boxers. Okay, maybe we did more than take off our shirt, but my boxers were on and his pants were on, nothing happened…

Still, Kazuko blushed.

Takeda came into his room. "Who was that guy?"

Kazuko wanted to break down at the moment those words were said

Ayuki had a headache, no, not from a hangover, but because she simply didn't get enough sleep. It was hell walking back, the cold, and the fact that Ayuki had slipped in a puddle and…

Thinking about it, Ayuki had knocked herself out when she fell. Looking around, Ayuki found herself in…Hisa's room. Yes, her clothes were on, but, where was Hisa?

Hearing a snore, Ayuki rolled around on the bed to see Hisa sleeping in a sleeping bag on the floor, snoring lightly. Ayuki snickered, and pinched Hisa's nose open, but at the moment her hand made contact, Hisa's eyes flew wide open in a glare.

In a weird voice because Ayuki was holding her nose, she said, "Damn, why the hell did I know you were going to do that? Twice, in my dream during our ma-"

Hisa stopped, blushing deeply before swatting Ayuki's hand away. "Stop."

Ayuki pouted, "What's with the change of attitude? And thanks, you carried me home, and gave me your comfortable bed. Now that I thanked you, I'm gonna raid your refrigerator, mmkay?

Hisa nodded, before curling up in her sleeping bag again.

After hearing Ayuki close the door and her footsteps echo in the hall, she blushed, and muttered, "…suki…"

Hisa felt horrible for doing the things she did to Ayuki.

Shin and Priscilla frowned. Why they were together so early? Because the two simply never went home.

They sat in a 24/7 open diner, not much people were in there. Some older people, either from traveling, or partying like they had. Shin munched on a frie covered in cheese from the basket off fries they ordered, while Priscilla sipped on a drink.

They sat there, finishing the food while talking about random things, until the point where Shin confessed to Priscilla.

"I..uh…like you…"

Priscilla blushed, before picking up another fry.

"I…'m…sorry….to be honest…I like…Anzu…Look, Shin I'm really sorry-"

Shin raised his hand up, interrupting her in midsentance. "No, no its okay…I understand. But can I ask for one thing?"

Priscilla sighed, and looked at Shin, and for the first time since she met him, there was a gentle glow in his soft eyes, and she blushed before muttering, "W-what…"

"Just kiss me…once. Usually the girl says this but I don't mind…I just want to know…"

Priscilla sighed. He hadn't done anything rude, to make her blush and throw a few punches and mean words, so she leaned over the table, their lips made contact, and it was over.

Shin smiled, being first to push her away.

"So, anyways…" Shin started, not wanting to break down.

Kiana opened her eyes to see a squirrel run across the grass in the afternoon sun. Surprisingly, Duran had stayed with Kiana even though she let go of his leash a long time ago. What a nice dog…

Looking down in her arms was a sleeping, tear-stricken faced Anzu. Something in her made her chest wince, whether it was pain or happiness, Kiana was just content where she was.

They had probably fallen asleep leaning against the big tree after Anzu sobbed out the story of what had happened, about her must've getting drunk, seducing Trent, and waking up with no memory.

Kiana did her best no to break down with her, her chances were gone.

"She's probably in love with him again…"

Running her fingers through her hair, Kiana almost jerked back when Anzu jumped up a bit, startled from the contact. "S-sorry…"

Kiana smiled, her bright green eyes locking with Anzu's eyes, she slowly brought her face closer to the other's.

Ah, yes.

Neither knew why, but friction was needed.

Duran watched the two hesitantly kiss with curiosity.

Hey, don't know if you guys care or not but…I'm getting a skateboard anytime this week! As you can see, my birthday is coming up soon, and you know the A's I got? My parents decided to buy it for me now (because I annoyed them to no end of it) and now I plan to spend the after school times skateboarding, that or playing my guitar, or random fiction reading, or other stuff.

Therefore, most of my updates will be moved to like…evening from 5pm and up. Or that time in California, but yeaahh. Okay. Just informing. Haha. Useless info.
