It was the end of the second day, and Yoshiki walked casually out of his fourth period classroom with a confused look on his face. He didn't know what to do with himself now that he had Ayumi apologizing to him. For once, it was the other way around with her. He wanted her so much deep down, but still wasn't sure if she felt the same way or if she was just playing chase. Maybe he would go with someone else for a change, and try again. He was lost in all of his options and not one of them was perfect, they all had a catch. If he went back to liking Ayumi, she'd just see it as a game of chase and he'd never get far with it. If he left and tried with someone else, Ayumi would keep trying to draw Yoshiki back and he'd never be happy. He didn't know what to do.

Suddenly, a familiar face approached Yoshiki, and slowed down next to him. It was Seiko Shinohara. "Hey Kishinuma," Seiko said cheerfully. She was dressed in her school uniform, and her light brown hair was worn the same as always. She smiled, "Awww, whats the matter buddy?" She playfully punched him on the arm, causing Yoshiki to glare at her.

"Nothings the matter Shinohara," Yoshiki muttered impatiently. Even if he told her what was going on, how could she possibly help his situation anyway? "What do you want?"

"No need to be grumpy, cheer up! Look on the bright side, big guy." Seiko frowned, realizing that her tactic was failing. "Look, I heard what happened, and I wanted to cheer you up. You know, Shinozaki feels pretty bad about it, and now that she does you might have a better chance with her." She raised her eyebrows up and down after she said this with a huge grin on her face. Yoshiki wasn't buying it, and he didn't like his friends weighing in on his decision, even if they were just trying to help.

"Well if she feels so bad, then why did she do it in the first place?" Yoshiki asked with frustration. He still liked Ayumi, but her stupidity was costly to him. Sure he had made some bad decisions, but he didn't feel bad about them. Where as if whatever she did made someone upset, she was quick to apologize. That was his problem with Ayumi, she was too sweet and kind, and it killed him whenever someone hurt her because she wouldn't do the same to them. Maybe she just had a bad day when he got rejected, but that didn't mean he was going to give up, he needed her. No one understood her except him, and that's how he made his decision. Standing silently, he looked over at Seiko and quickly said, "Never mind answering that, I've got to go."

"Got to go where?" Seiko questioned with a half laugh. Her mouth was open with a smile, over how quickly his mood had changed. He had started to run and after she asked that, he turned around and looked at her.

"I'm going to find Shinozaki." He then turned around and continued running, not caring about what she would say after that. Even before she could reply, he had turned into the next hallway. He had a plan that would get him with Ayumi in no time.


Ayumi Shinozaki was at her locker when she heard the sound of loud, fast footsteps approaching her. She darted around, realizing that it was Yoshiki. "Hey Yoshiki," She said in a depressing tone. She looked down at her feet, and Yoshiki had realized that Seiko was right - she looked like she felt really bad.

"You must... feel pretty bad, huh?" Yoshiki asked deliberately. He knew what he was doing, and how he was going to do it. Ayumi looked up at him and then back down at her feet.

"Yea," she muttered. "I do." At first she was reluctant to apologize to Yoshiki, but when she had come to her senses it was too late. Now she had finally realized the pain she was causing him. "Please forgive me," she pleaded, looking up at him.

Yoshiki half smiled, looking down at Ayumi. "Look, I get it. You may have been having a rough day, and you didn't want to deal with it. I know it wasn't you, Shinozaki. In my heart, I forgave you the second I heard you say I'm sorry. I've made bad decisions, but I want to change for you."

Ayumi smiled at his forgiveness. "Thank you, Kishinuma," she whispered, embracing him in a hug. This time, he didn't deny it. It lasted about ten seconds, and then they pulled away from each other.

"How about we do dinner or something," Yoshiki proposed with a smile. "We can make up." He looked down at Ayumi in hope that his plan would succeed.

"Dinner sounds good," Ayumi agreed with a smile. Yoshiki grinned back, happy in his success. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all. "How does six thirty sound to you?" Ayumi asked.

"Sure, sounds perfect," he gladly confirmed. "How about I pick you up?"

"Alright," Ayumi beamed, her mood completely changing. "I'll see you then."


Satoshi walked towards Naomi, and waved when she noticed him. "Hey," She said as she moved in for a kiss. They embraced for a second, and thened parted from each other. "Whats up?"

"I was just wondering..." Satoshi started nervously but then trailed off.

"What is it?" Naomi said with a half concerned tone.

"I was wondering if you wanted to do something later? Dinner and a movie, maybe?" He had a somewhat awkward smile on his face as he asked the question, hoping for a positive answer.

"Sure, I'd love that," She answered quickly. "When do you want to go?"

"How about... six thirty?"

I hope you enjoyed this chapter, not too dramatic but sorta happy. Please don't forget to follow, favorite, and review telling me what you think. Until next time :)
