Hello Everyone!

Gahh I have exams soon!

I've been doing a lot of revisions so I didn't know when I would write this.

Well here it is!

Enjoy!

A week had gone by very quickly and still I had no idea what to do with the lyrics. And Ikuto was being as clear as mud about his little grudge against Tadase. He keeps on saying that he's not as nice as I think, but I chose to ignore this. I mean I think he's nice and it's good to have someone I know a little at Easter. I can't talk to him at lunch instead of wondering off by myself somewhere. Its better that way, Ikuto's just being odd. I was now at the lunch table a pen placed in my hand as I stared down at the blank piece of paper. It's so hard to write something when you don't even know what you are writing about. Yoru said to write from the heart, so I have to write about what I am feeling. That's easy, I'm feeling annoyed with Ikuto for judging Tadase so much. But it's not just that feeling, there is more. I might not want to say it but the truth is that day on my balcony had made him seem different to me. I kept on looking into his sapphire eyes thinking how beautiful they were. So mesmerising and hypnotic. He is a bit annoying sometimes but he is really hot. I have to admit that. I looked at the sheet wishing for the lyrics to just appear on it just like that. I leaned back on my chair sighing.

"Hinamori-san," a voice said as I straightened up to face him.

Tadase was smiling at me, with that smile how can he be bad. Really, Ikuto is completely misunderstanding him. I smiled back at him asking him to take a seat. He did so obligingly as he looked down at my vacant sheet of paper.

"Are you having trouble with your lyrics?" he asked.

I heaved a sigh and nodded slowly. He gave a look that sympathised with me.

"I'd try to help you but I'm not really a singer. But I'll give you advice, write from the heart," I rolled my eyes and sighed ever louder.

Why was everybody giving the same advice? Don't they know that it's not helping? I could always ask Ikuto, wait, bad idea, absolute NO. He wouldn't be any help, there's no point asking him. I folded up the paper as I placed it in my shoulder bag and stood up. I said goodbye to Tadase as I walked away to go back home. I'm in the town already so maybe I should do a little shopping. Yeah, might as well. I headed over to my favourite clothes shop. Kukai...and Ikuto. Great, I just have to pretend that I haven't noticed them. I walked past them my head down, but I was totally conspicuous with my bubble gum coloured hair. Of course he would notice it to be me. Does he know any other girls with that colour hair? Kukai was the first one to notice me as he turned around and waved at me.

"Amu!" he said still waving.

Ikuto hadn't heard him and was walking away completely oblivious that I was there. I glared at Kukai hoping he will understand that I wanted him to shut up. Why am I trying to avoid Ikuto? I don't know, I just don't feel like talking to him right now. Kukai hadn't noticed my looks of desperation and urgency for him not to tell Ikuto as he turned around to Ikuto utterly ruining my chances of escaping.

"Ikuto!" Kukai called after him as he spun around and saw me.

I hadn't noticed before but there was something about his hair that just looked so...hot. Ok, shut up inner self, shut the hell up. I don't want things to go haywire. He was wearing a blue hoodie that matched with his hair and eyes, it had numbers 43 on it and he was also wearing jeans. As well as that he finished the outfit with converses. He walked over to me and grinned. Is it me, or is that grin irresistible. I said shut up inner self! Don't make me want to hit you! I was kind of going red by the second and he seemed to have noticed as well. Everything seemed to have changed over a week without me noticing. I've begun to notice him more. Before when I thought about Ikuto, I would think of him as a conceited singer who thinks that he's the best in the music industry. He is still that but he's also something else. Nothing much happened in a week so I don't know why I am acting like this. It all started on that stupid balcony or maybe it started way before then. What started? Nothing started. He's the same Ikuto, on both sides. Nothing started! I am just acting weird under the pressure of writing these lyrics. I've only got one week and I have no idea what I will be writing, actually it's less than a week. It's 6 days! But like that makes any difference. I need to calm down and think properly, I might actually get an idea if I do that. I took a deep breath as the redness left my cheeks. I smiled up at Ikuto as he stared back at me. He had this weird expression on his face; I really wish I knew what he's thinking right now.

"Hi," I greeted trying to smile.

He nodded and grumbled a 'hi' back. Kukai was smiling all over as he pointed over to a cafe.

"Want to go there for a drink?" he asked.

Ikuto shrugged but went along anyway. My stomach rumbled suddenly as I nodded shyly. I hadn't had lunch yet because I was more focused on the lyrics. I needed something to eat. We made the way to the cafe as we took a seat. Kukai sat opposite me as Ikuto sat next to me. I felt his arm touch me as I slightly jumped. I feel a bit uncomfortable.

"So, what you want to get?" Kukai asked.

"Coke,"

"Hot Chocolate, please,"

Kukai nodded as he walked over to the counter to order for us. How could Ikuto have a Coke in this cold weather? I needed something to warm me up and make me less hungry. The Hot Chocolate here had marsh mellows and chocolate flakes. I wasn't having a proper lunch but at least it would fill me up. There was silence as Ikuto and I looked away from each other in opposite directions. What's with this atmosphere? I don't like it, not one bit. He turned to me looking like he was about to say something. But he didn't. I wanted someone to say something, I didn't know what to say so I was hoping he would. But he seemed to be as quiet as me, which is odd for him. He'd usually be talking about now. I needed to break this uncomfortable atmosphere.

"So, Ikuto, how are you?"

"Fine,"

Well that lasted long. I tried to think of a conversation when I remembered the lyrics business. I didn't want to tell Ikuto about it before but it's better than letting this intoxicating silence linger.

"I am supposed to be writing my lyrics but I'm kinda stumped," I said as Ikuto turned to me.

This had got his attention; of course he'd be interested in anything to do with Music. Why didn't I want to ask him?

"Have you got the piece of paper that you're writing on?" he asked.

I nodded as I rummaged through my bag and found the piece of paper. I handed it to him as he unfolded it and looked at it. His face fell. He stared at me with this look that to me said, 'what is this useless crap?' That's probably what he was thinking.

"You've wrote nothing at all," he pointed at the blank sheet as I nodded rather sheepishly.

He snorted and threw it back at me. Now he wasn't interested anymore. I caught the paper as I glared at him wondering why he threw it at me.

"I need your help for any ideas because I have none. So please help me," I nearly pleaded.

He leaned back in his seat, "Kukai's taking too long,"

He is definitely uninterested. He really doesn't care. I knew something like this would happen. Of course he wouldn't want to help me. I really shouldn't have asked him after all. I stood up quite abruptly as he looked at me. He could probably see in my facial expressions that I was mad.

"Where are you going?" he enquired.

I folded my arms and didn't look at him. Damn, I was only asking for help.

"Away from you," I answered as I turned around sharply and began to retreat out the door.

He stood up as well leaving the table; he followed me out trying to catch up to me. We had both forgotten that Kukai was in there with our drinks. He was probably at our table wondering where we went. I walked in a fast pace as he finally caught up to me and stood in front of me. I stared at him an annoyed look planted on my face. We had walked quite a bit as we were now not surrounded by traffic and shops but in an empty road.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked me, "You seem quite moody today,"

He was right about that, I felt like my hormones were in turmoil. Is it that time of the month? No, it's not, that's not the reason, ok? I sighed as I walked up to a bench and sat down on it. Ikuto pursued but he did not sit down.

"I am not being moody," I denied my arms still folded.

He raised an eyebrow and snorted.

"You are,"

I narrowed my eyes, he was now becoming annoying. Was he trying to pick a fight?

"Am not,"

"You are,"

"Am not,"

"You are,"

I growled, "I am not, OK?"

He sniggered patting me on the head like a kid.

"Don't treat me like a kid," I mumbled.

He smirked and lowered down to me so we were now face to face.

"So you want me to treat you like an adult, huh?" My face went bright red as I stood up getting away from him.

"You know I didn't mean that," I backed away from him.

He walked back up to me and held my arm so I couldn't walk away this time.

"Did you?" he questioned making me utterly speechless.

I struggled to get away but he wouldn't let me. I felt absolutely mortified. It would be good if something interrupted this, I'd be very grateful. I spoke too soon.

"Ikuto!" a voice shouted as Ikuto let go of my hand and spun around to see a girl with blonde hair and amethyst colour eyes. She was extremely pretty and she looked about Ikuto's age. She grabbed onto Ikuto's arm and kissed him on the cheek. I stared flabbergasted. The girl looked at me and narrowed her eyes.

"Who is this girl, Ikuto?" she asked suspiciously.

Ikuto didn't say anything nor did he react to her kiss before. He seemed a little stunned.

"Erm, who are you?" I enquired.

The girl looked a little shocked with this statement like I had smacked her around the face. Did I say something wrong? Was I supposed to know her or something?

"Shouldn't you know me? I'm Hoshina Utau, the best singer in the charts at the moment. And Ikuto," she pointed to him, "Is my boyfriend,"
