Azusa walked out the door with Hatsumi. They headed to the playground in silence.

"Hey look! It's Azusa and Hatsumi!"

Hatsumi looked up and saw a kid named Ryuu pointing at them.

"Oh…uh…hi Ryuu!" Hatsumi said as she waved and smiled at him.

Then, Ryuus twin sister Ayu popped out of nowhere and asked Azusa a question that made him and Hatsumi blush.

"Azusa do you like Hatsumi?"

"Wha? No! Of course not! Why would I?...I mean…"

Azusa stopped talking. The more he denied liking Hatsumi, the more everyone would think he did. But it was sorta true. He had always liked her, but in a brotherly way. A while after they became friends, every time something would happen to Hatsumi, he felt the need to protect her.

"Um…Azusa…Are you alright?" hatsumi asked

"What? Oh…yeah! I'm fine!"

"You sure? You were staring into space for a while! :p"

"I bet he was thinking about Hatsumi!" One kid shouted

All of a sudden, Ryuu,Ayu,and a few other kids started singing a song.

Azusa and Hatsumi sittin in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First co-

RIIIING!

The bell rang and it was time to go inside and get ready to go home. Azusa walked towards the classroom and Hatsumi followed. They walked in silence,until one of them said something.

"Azusa…I'm really sorry."

"Nah its ok…I guess…and its not your fault."

Then, they entered the classroom,packed up their stuff, and headed towards the front door where Miss Ochiwa said goodbye.

"Azusa, I would like to speak with you and your parents after class okay?"

Azusa nodded his head at Miss Ochiwa and walked out the door with Hatsumi. They met up with their parents in the parking lot.

"Mom…my teacher wants to talk to you…"

"Oh Azusa…okay."

Azusa and his mom walked towards the classroom and entered.

"Ah! Nice to see you!"

"Nice to see you too. So, what was this you'd like to speak with me about? Is it about Azusa? Did he get into another fight?"

"I'm afraid so." Miss Ochiwa said as she gestured Azusa and his mom to a desk.

"This is the fourth fight Azusa has gotten into this year. He is a great student but,oh. The principal has decided to remove him from the school."
