Alright, so I'm going to be gone for 5 days, starting today. I won't have any access to my laptop.

I just found out and, I unfortunately can't write anything before I leave, besides this chapter. I'm really sorry!


Mai sat on the bench outside the rink, boiling with jealousy. Her eyes followed Yoshiki and Ayumi. Every move they made. Her fists clenched, "Aagh!" Mai yelled in frustration, earning attention from a boy who had been hitting on her earlier.

The boy started walking over, much to Mai's dismay. "Hello, gorgeous." He mumbled into her ear, "What's someone like you getting angry about?" Mai glared at him. He had unnaturally red hair, and light blue eyes. Though he wasn't unattractive, Mai only had eyes for one boy.

"Piss off, loser." She replied, making a shooing motion with her hands. He rolled his eyes, standing up from the bench.

"Bitch." He muttered. Mai turned her head, standing up. She grabbed the collar of his jacket, pulling him closer.

"What the hell, did you just say?!" She hissed, raising her knee. The boy didn't register what she was about to do, until she did. Mai kneed him in the crotch.

He cursed under his breath as he fell to the ground, grabbing his crotch. One other guy and a girl ran over. The guy was extremely tall and well built. He had dark eyes and almost black hair. The girl had her brown hair in a ponytail, with a bow at the top.

"Kai? You alright?" The tall boy asked. Kai. Mai now knew his name. Kai looked over his shoulder, glaring.

"Shutup, Yuuya. I only invited you because that's the only way Kirisaki would come!"

The girl blushed, but stayed quiet. "Are you, Kirisaki?" Mai asked. She already knew the answer, but wanted to check, nonetheless.

"Yes." Tohko said bluntly. She was suddenly not as shy anymore, apparently. Mai rolled her eyes, leaving the group behind. She had all the information she needed from them, not that any of it was important. Everyone else was beginning to come off. What's the point of even waiting?


"Aiko left." Mayu announced, as she sat on the bench. Morishige kneeled down, untying her skates for her. Mayu smiled happily.

Naomi nodded, trying to hold in her excitement. That girl was nothing but trouble, and frankly she was glad she was gone. Besides, she was messing with Mayu and her's plans.

Ayumi and Yoshiki were in their own little world, laughing at each other's jokes, holding hands. Everyone in their little group was aware of it, even if it wasn't the first thing on their mind.

"I have to go home now guys," Ayumi said sadly. Yoshiki looked at her thoughtfully.

"I'll walk you home," He replied. Naomi and Mayu squealed, and Seiko winked at Ayumi. Morishige, didn't care at all, and it seemed Satoshi didn't either. Yuka, was in the bathroom. The two walked off, ignoring their friend's reactions. "What losers," Yoshiki said, trying to fight off the butterflies attacking his stomach. These were sudden, and he didn't know why he was getting them near the class rep.

"Yeah," Ayumi replied, looking up at him and smiling. Her heart pounded, as she reached for his hand.

Yoshiki blushed when he felt her hand grab his. What is this. He felt like punching himself in the stomach, so the butterflies would cease to exist. He knew it wouldn't work though, and this was definitely a feeling he's never felt before.


The rest of the walk home was silent. Just awkward silence, and lots of blushing. Ayumi's house came into view, much to her disappointment. "We're almost there..." She mumbled quietly, staring at the ground.

Yoshiki nodded, adjusting his eyes to the darkness. Her house was exceptionally big, with a small lawn in the front. He smiled at the thought of his own house, but it quickly faltered, when he remembered who lived in his.

Ayumi crossed the street, to approach her house. Walking to the front step, she gave Yoshiki a smile. "B-bye!" She stuttered, but her arm was grabbed, and lips were then pressed against hers. Warm, soft lips.

Yoshiki didn't know what had gotten into him. He was about to leave, but he couldn't. He needed to do this, to test the waters with his feelings. It didn't surprise him at all when the butterflies erupted in his stomach again.

She was surprised to say the least. Her mind came to a blank, and she did the first thing she knew to do. Ayumi broke the kiss, before she even began kissing back. "I-I have... to go!" She explained, slamming the door in his face.


Yoshiki took her gesture as rejection, and he was used to it. Being rejected was something he had gotten good at, but he wasn't as gifted when it came to what to do when he was rejected. Taking out his phone, he looked through his contacts, and quickly dialed the number when he found the one he wanted.

"Aiko? Come to my place, now," Yoshiki said sternly. He hoped she got the memo that all he wanted was a good time. No strings attached.

"I'll be right over," Mai purred into the phone. Yoshiki hung up, running to his apartment building frantically. When he arrived, she was sitting on the front steps.

Mai walked over, grabbing the hem of his shirt. "Let's head inside," She whispered, dragging him in. Yoshiki was getting worked up, as they walked up the steps, and entered his apartment.

He grabbed her waist, lifting her to straddle his own. His lips found her neck, sucking and nibbling lightly as they stumbled down the hall. When they finally entered his bedroom, Yoshiki placed her on the bed, hopping on top of her.

Mai slowly unbuttoned his shirt, as he went under hers. Tonight, was going to be a good one for her.
