It was either have Tomo and Sakuno match Hoshi with Ryoma or Kunimitsu…which one did I pick? I thought it was funny to pair Hoshi with Kunimitsu yet obvious to pair her with Ryoma…which one did I choose?

"It takes a total of ten minutes to walk from home to school at a normal pace." I said to myself as I glanced at my watch while I walked past the gates to Seigaku. "Hm…never knew that."

"And your just finding this out now?" a voice from behind asked causing me to spin around and come face to face with Ryoma.

"Yes…yes I am." I stated with a grin as Ryoma merely shook his head.

"Girls."

"Boys."

"HO-SHI! PRACTICE TIME! STOP FLIRTING WITH ECHIZEN AND GET YOU BUTT OVER HERE!" Zora shouted causing everyone to look at me and Ryoma.

Both our faces where pink. I spun around and started walking away from Ryoma.

"I wasn't flirting Zora!" I shouted as I ran to the Girl's Locker Room to change quickly before heading out to the field for practice.

Once I reached the field and placed down my stuff I got in a line with the other Regulars as Temari and Aki stood in front of us all. Temari was smiling slightly as Aki smirked.

"Guess what tomorrow is?" Aki asked as I sent her a questioning glance.

"Uh…Wednesday?" I answered unsure as Aki shook her head.

"But today's Tuesday…so doesn't that mean tomorrow's Wednesday?" Zora asked as she scratched her head.

"Well…tomorrow's October 7th…maybe that's what she wants to know." Haruhi answered with a shrug.

"Aniki's Birthday is tomorrow!" I exclaimed. "His gift isn't even ready yet…oh I've been procrastinating. I've got 13 more to do." I thought aloud.

"Actually…Tomorrow there is a tournament during school. We'll leave school at 8:00am, arrive and sign in by 8:30am, and then play soccer matches till 4:30pm." Temari explained as we all nodded our heads in understanding. "First we'll be playing against Hyoutei. Now I know the girl's soccer team there is violent…but don't make that stop you from trying your best." Temari finished as Aki nodded in agreement.

"They're probably gonna try and kick your head off like a soccer ball if you fall to the ground so try and get up as fast as you can…they tried that when I told them I was moving and transferring to Seigaku." Miso stated with her hands on her hip and a pout on her face.

So that's where she got that violent and threatening attitude from [remember how she threatened to kick a soccer ball at us if we made fun of her name?].

"So we'll run 15 laps around the soccer field and then get ready for class." Temari ordered as we all nodded our heads and took off for our laps.

"Hai!" we chorus as we started our laps.

Temari and Aki kept the lead for all the laps [since they're suppose to keep the lead] and made sure we all ran a fair pace. Once the laps where over we changed into our school uniforms and went to class.

I sat in my usual seat for 1st period which was next to Ryoma [why am I even saying this?]. English class was better than usual.

[4th period]

"Now Hoshi please play the following song on the piano. Class pay attention." Musina-Sensei stated as she tapped her music stick on the music stand to catch the class' attention.

I started to play the song, mainly comprised of notes from Middle C to G. It was a simple song that was taught to beginners since it held the main finger keys. My music was cut short when the Music Room door was opened revealing a boy with a clipboard in hand.

"Uh…Echizen Ryoma, Gini Sowa, Ryoma's Fan Club and Tezuka Hoshi. Your needed in the gym for the Citizenship Project you helped with." the boy announced as I glanced at Musina-Sensei who sighed.

"Those who are needed go. Class, free period since I can't teach anything to you guys without Hoshi." Musina-Sensei announced as the rest of the class nodded their head in agreement.

Ryoma, Sowa, all of the girls in the class and I got up and headed to the gym. I chatted with Sowa, a boy who used to be in the same violin class as me but quit since he wanted to play the piano instead. Ryoma's fan club drifted behind and whispered to each other as Ryoma walked ahead of everyone.

"So how's your piano coming along?" I asked Sowa, interested in how he improved.

"It's going good! I can play Bach now! I'm learning that song you suggested. 'Sakura Kiss'. I've got the slow part down but now I'm trying to do the faster version like you played. Your playing always sounds good." Sowa admitted with a slight blush.

"I'll help you then!" I exclaimed happily as I grinned at the blushing boy beside me.

"Really?" he asked as I nodded my head.

"Before school starts. I don't have soccer practice on Monday next week so I'll help you in the music room before school starts and after school till 4:30." I said as I thought about the day I was free.

"Your so nice Hoshi." Sowa complimented as I blushed a bit.

I wasn't used to being complimented by boys my age. Even if it was a simple compliment of 'your nice' or 'your good at music'. I was usually complimented my older people and young kids.

"A-Arigato." I thanked as I walked in the gym.

There where a few tables here and there and a few chairs. There was a stereo with speakers and a cleared off area in the middle of the gym for dancing and a few snacks on the tables that where pushed to the side. Once we entered we where given a few index cards that read 'Conversation Starters'. I was then told to go to Sakuno to get my number. I walked up to my shy friend and smiled at her sweetly.

"Hiya Sakuno." I greeted as she jumped a bit and started to fumble with the papers a bit.

"O-O-Oh. H-H-Hoshi. U-Um y-your number ah…umm…SIX!" Sakuno blurted out as she handed me a name tag with the number six written on it.

"Ah arigato Sakuno." I thanked as I pinned the name tag to my shirt and walked away, unaware of Sakuno's guilty glance.

[Author's View!]

Sakuno watched as Hoshi walked away, unaware of the lie Sakuno had just stuttered out.

"Hey Sakuno did you give her my number?" Tomo asked as she pinned on Hoshi's original number, one.

"H-Hai…" Sakuno stuttered as she handed another Ryoma Fan Girl her pin.

"Great! That means I have Ryoma as my match! Arigato Sakuno!" Tomo thanked her best friend as she skipped towards Ryoma who stood near the window, glaring out the window.

//Oh what have I done? Why couldn't Tomo let Hoshi be with Ryoma? They both may be clueless to their growing feelings but when they're together everyone can realize how they relax a bit. I've even seen Ryoma blush a bit when he's around her. They're perfect for each other and their test practically matched!// Sakuno thought to herself as guilt formed over herself while she watched Tomo's real match approach Hoshi.

Hikaru Yokou. She also watched as a stray tennis ball hit Hoshi on the head.

"OW!" Hoshi yelped as she rubbed her injured head.

Sakuno sweatdropped. Tennis wasn't Hoshi's thing.
