Skyl3r-M0on: Well um okay I guess I'm gonna be slightly starting from scratch seeing as someone made me delete the other one, so the updates may be a little slower.

Ikuto: Works for me, just make sure it's better than the first one.

The next morning I was in a pretty good mood. Ikuto hadn't bothered me yet today, and I hope it lasted. So when I walked into homeroom and saw Ikuto in his seat surrounded by a bunch of guys I was a little skeptical about what was going on. I walked over to my seat without giving them so much as a second glance and surprisingly they didn't bother me. Thank god.

They split up when Nakaidou-sensei came in and he began his lesson and I started taking notes for once.

See I was a pretty good student, I never took notes but I got straight A's. And I'd like to thank Kairi for that. I always borrowed his notes, which he didn't seem to mind.

While I was taking notes another piece of paper flew onto my notebook. Like the last note, Ikuto's name was scrawled on the front.

"My Dearest Amu-koi,

I'm very sorry for taking your parking space and hugging you while covered in paint. It was wrong of me and I can only hope that you don't hold a grudge, please forgive me. Meet me behind the storage room near the soccer field at lunch so I can really apologize.

You're truly,

Ikuto-koi"

Something was fishy about this. What was with the "koi"'s after the names, and why did this sound like it was completely staged? This was a trap and I could see right though his little faux act, but I'm prepared for this. I wrote back my own little fake note and sent it back to him.

"Ok fine, but this doesn't mean we're friends you know that right."

He wrote back quickly.

"That's fine. I know that I have to earn your friendship, but I'd still like to apologize properly, so please meet me"

"Ok, that's fine I guess. I'll meet you at lunch."

I turned and looked at him. All he did was smile at me. I ignored him and continued taking my notes.

Before I knew it the bell rang and I was off to my next period.

(A/N: ok so I live in Canada where we have like 4 periods each about an hour long. And one lunch breaks, so I'm gonna go with that schedule.)

I headed to the auditorium for Drama/Music where I met Utau. Sadly, this and gym were the only classes we had together. But for some reason I had all the same classes as that ignorant idiot Ikuto. When we got in we took a seat in the audience chairs while out teacher took her place on the stage.

"Ok today I don't have a proper lesson planned," She began. "So I'm gonna get the people who are participating in the Talent Show on Thursday to come up and present their act. So all the talent show performers please make your way back stage."

Utau and I got up as well as other people. I knew Nagi was performing but I didn't know Ikuto was too. I followed Utau up the stage and we made our way behind the curtain. We got our cd ready and waited till our turn. We were second last after Nagi.

Short time skip...

Nagi was up next. I figure he was doing a dance or something. He's actually so talented! I heard he was supposed to go study abroad but he turned it down because he didn't want to be so far from his friends and family.

He walked on stage, but there was someone following behind him. I couldn't see well because of the lighting. The music started and they got into their positions. They were doing a dance to Strip by Chris Brown and Kevin McCall.

(A/N:I honestly don't know how to describe dance moves and I'd rather not try)

They started their dance. Their moves were so difficult to imitate, and they were so in sync with each other.

' These guys were good' I thought as they did a few break dance moves. 'But who's the other guy? He's just as good at Nagi!' I had a hard time keeping up with the dance moves, but I was really enjoying to show.

When the song finally ended they bowed and made their way back stage. Utau and I still had a few minutes before we had to get on stage. I took the time to go and complement Nagi on his awesome job.

"Nagi you did great!" I said attacking Nagi with a hug.

"Aha, thank's Amu" He hugged back.

"Don't I get some love Amu?" Someone said. I turned around to see Ikuto with his arms wide open.

"And why would I do that?" I said letting go of Nagi. I turned to face him with my hands on my hips. '

Dammit he's taller than me' I realized as I looked up at him.

"Well I thought I did a pretty good job out there as well" He stated, making my eyes widen a bit. "I certainly thought so, right Nagi?"

"Yeah Amu, I thought you knew it was him." Nagi agreed.

"Fine, I'll give you props," I said looking anywhere but at him. "you were pretty good"

"Amu we're up next!" Utau yelled from the other side of the stage. I nodded to her and made my way towards the opposite end and waited for the music to start. When the music started we walked to the middle of the stage. Throughout our performance we walked back and forth from each side of the stage to the other. We also did a few random dance moves and made sure to shake our hips a lot for bonus points.

We finished our performance and walked off the stage from the ends we entered from. This time Nagi attacked me with a hug, then he attacked Utau with a hug as well.

"You guys were great!" Nagi yelled. Utau and I thanked him and we were all about to head off the stage when I felt someone grab my hand. I turned around and saw Ikuto. He nodded to the corner of the stage, it was pretty dark. I wonder what he wanted.

"Ok, I just wanna apologize now so I don't have to meet you at lunch." He began. "I feel like I pushed you too much and I annoyed you constantly. I guess I was too used to having girls come to me at the snap of my fingers and I apologize for thinking that someone of you stature would be anything like those sleaze bags. All I'm trying to say is gomennasai Hinamori Amu."

I was at lost for words. I didn't think he'd actually apologize cause I was so sure he was up to something, but I guess he was serious. Maybe he did have some good in him. But I had to make sure he really meant it.

"Tell me I'm not dreaming" I laughed. "Do you really mean it?"

"Yes Amu." He looked into my eyes "I really do mean it. I just want to start over."

I had to think about this logically. He flirted with me constantly, and annoyed till I had headaches, and now he's suddenly apologizing? Hmm, there's gotta be a catch. Yeah! That's it, there's a catch!

"What's in it for you?" I eyed him suspiciously. "What's the catch?"

"Nothing! No catch. I just want to be your friend." He defended himself. I thought about it for a second and come to the conclusion that I guess I could give him a chance.

"Fine. I guess I could do that" I mumbled while blushing a bit.

"Thank you Amu, it really means a lot to me." He said. "Now can your new friend get a hug?"

"I guess," I complied."only cause that apology was beyond sweet."

He wound his arms around my waist, and I put my arms around his neck. He squeezed me tight, which made me blush a bit more.

'He smells like chocolate' I thought as I inhaled a bit. 'Sweet, sweet chocolate...mmm.'

I quickly let go and stood in front of him and smiled at him. 'Maybe we could actually be friends.' I thought as we headed back to watch the last performance.

IKUTO'S P.O.V. (I may have more different pov but most likely not)

'Yes! She fell for it!' I thought as I followed behind her. 'Time for pay back my little strawberry. Man I really have to thank Tadase, I couldn't have done it without him!'

AMU'S P.O.V.

After we got off the stage, we met up with Utau and Nagi and continued to watch the last performance. But as I was walking down the aisle guys were looking at me funny.

'Is there something on my face?' I wondered as I took out my mirror and checked my self out. 'Hmm there's nothing on my face.'

But what really confused me was the fact that some of them pulled out their phones and started texting and every other second their head would look up at me, then back down to their phones. That lead me to noticed Ikuto smirking and laughing to himself behind me in my reflecting.

'What's that about?' I ignored it and sat next to Nagi.

The presentation was cut short by the bell. It's lunch time now. I headed to my locker and put my books in my locker, I then pulled my phone out from my purse in my locker.

'Holy crap! 85 messages! Do I even have 85 contacts on my phone?' I panicked as I turned on my phone. 'Shit and the texts are still coming! I'll check them later.'

I sighed and tucked my phone into my pocket before heading to the cafeteria. This was turning into a pretty weird day. I mean first Ikuto is wanting to apologize to me, next I find out he's really incredible at dancing, and now I've got nearly a thousand text and I don't even know who they're from.

I entered the cafeteria and walked to my awaiting table with Utau, Kukai, and Ikuto. I guess Nagi and Rima went out for lunch.

"Hey guys." I greeted. They all greeted me back. "You'll never believe what just happened. It was so weird! Like I turned on my phone and I had like 85 messages. I don't even know who they're from."

"Holy crap 85?" Utau gasped.

"That's what I said!" I said. "I'm probably gonna check them later, maybe after school, but I wonder who they're all from."

I noticed Kukai hadn't say anything, and neither did Ikuto. Plus he still had that smirk on him. Well I didn't care about Ikuto being quiet, that's actually a blessing, but usually when Kukai is quiet it means he's hiding something. Did he know anything about the texts and odd looks I was getting from the guys around me? Now that I mention it, I also got them when I came in.

"Um, Kukai..." I began. "is everything ok? You're awfully quiet today"

I know he knows something about it.

"Huh? U-um no! I-I mean yeah." He stuttered. "Yeah! Ever-everything is fine!" He awkwardly laughed and scratched the back of his head with a suspicious grin.

"Oh, alright" I replied. I then looked at Utau and she turned to look at me. We shared an understanding look. We got up and made our way to Kukai. We linked our arms with his and dragged him to the near by corner while ignoring his yells of protest.

"Ok, what do you know?" I demanded as my eye's narrowed. "I know you know something about all the texts and the weird looks I'm getting from every guy in the school."

"What? I-I don't know anything!" He said not looking me in the eyes. "I swear I don't know anything, about that at least."

"Then why were you being so quiet? You're usually only quiet when you're hiding something." Utau noted. "So what is it?"

"Do you really wanna know?" He sighed.

"Yes!" I yelled.

"W-well, I was only be-being quiet be-because, well um..."He trailed off

"Just say it already!" Utau shook him. That when he turned away from her and his face looked flushed.

"I was trying to think of how to ask Utau out." He mumbled. My eyes widened, I knew he liked her! I turned to Utau to see how she would respond. And as expected she was blushing like mad.

"Yo-you could've just a-asked" She said has she stood up straight and covered her face a bit with her hand trying to hide her tomato red face. "I might have said yes."

"Really?" Kukai sat up with an excited look on his face.

"Hey! Do-don't get all high a-and mighty!" Utau said stubbornly." I'd only say yes cause you're a pretty decent guy." His smile faltered a bit.

"What she means to say Kukai is," I spoke for her. " 'Yes I'll go out with you Kukai'"

"Thanks Amu!" He laughed.

"You better take care of her Kukai." I warned. He promised he would and then we headed back to our table."

I felt my phone vibrate as I sat down. Now that I think about when I got up the texting increased, my phone was vibrating every second! I was about to pull out my phone when the bell rang.

'I have gym next so I'll just check it in the change room' I thought as I got up and made my way out of the cafeteria with Utau and Kukai walking next to me, but for some reason Ikuto chose to follow behind me rather than next to me. 'Maybe I wasn't wrong, he is up to something! Ugh I'm an idiot.'

I made it to my locker when I got a call from a random number. I answered anyway.

"Hello?" I greeted confused.

"Hey Amu." The person greeted back with a sly voice.

"Who is this!" I demanded. I had no time to be harassed today.

"I never knew you were DTF." He ignored my question.

(A/N: DTF= Down To F*ck incase you didn't know)

"What?" I yelled into my phone. "Who told you that? I am not DTF and I never will be you pervert!"

"Y'know Amu, if you wanna keep it a secret it's fin-" I ended the call before he finished his sentence. I was so angry right now. I closed my locker and proceeded to the girls change room.

I guess I was late since most of the girls were gone. I quickly changed and ran out of the change room. Today I was partnered up with Utau.

Her and I got on the mat. We decided to do some stretches first.

"You'll never believe this," I began to tell her about the mysterious caller. " Some idiot called me and said he was surprised that I was DTF." Utau started laughing at that.

"You?"-laugh-"DTF?"-laugh-"As if!" Utau said between laughs.

"Hey! It's not funny!" I defended. "I'm not, but he didn't know that. I even asked him who told him that, but he never said."

She calmed down after I said that.

"Well you need to find out who told him" she said getting into a defensive stance. I got into mine as well.

"No shit!" I said as I kicked her a few times. She blocked most of them though.

"But who do you think gave your number away?" She asked as she threw a punch at me. I dodged that.

"Well I kinda of suspect Ikuto," said while kicking at her again. "but I don't wanna tell him that cause for once he's been nothing but nice, he hasn't hit on me or anything. Plus he apologized for anything and everything bad he's done to me. So I forgave him. But I can't help but think he's up to something. And plus, it can't be him, he doesn't even have my number!"

She caught my last kick and lifted my leg high. I could either do a back walk over out of this, or I could just tickle her. Option number two sounded more likely. I brought my hands out and started tickling her like crazy. She immediately started laughing, eventually she was on the ground laughing so hard that she couldn't breathe. That when I decided to stop.

"And that ladies and gentlemen," I said to myself. "is how you defeat the great and almighty Hoshina Utau."

The bell rang.

'Gym's over already?' I questioned. 'Oh well.' I helped Utau up and we made our way to the change rooms. After showering I started to change. When I finished, I started brushing my hair while looking in my mirror.

"Um Amu." Utau said as she came out of the shower. "I think I know why that guy thought you were DTF."

"Huh? Really? How!" I asked confused. She started giggling as she walked towards me.

"Someone played a pretty cruel prank on you." She said while pulling something from the back of my shirt. She handed me a sticky note.

It read: I'm DTF! If you wanna hook up call me 555-555-555! ^.~.

(A/N: Couldn't think of a better number *shrug* oh well)

If I wasn't angry before, then I'm fuming. Who would do such a thing and why?

"Holy crap how long has this been on?" I yelled. 'I need to find out who did this." I though as I packed up my stuff. "Get changed we're skipping our next class to figure out who the hell did this."

"Um yeah ok." she agreed.

"When I say get changed, I mean NOW!" I yelled trying to get her to hurry up. That got her moving.

We managed to sneak out and headed to the ice-cream parlor. I ordered a chocolate cone and Utau got a strawberry one. We then sat down and got thinking.

"Ok, who could've done this...?" I trailed off. "The only people I can think of are Ikuto and Saaya."

"We could confront both of them." Utau suggested. "But I think it was Saaya and her slutty minions."

"I guess, but why?" I asked. "I haven't done anything to her. I mean even though she's a bitch and doesn't like me, she wouldn't do anything like this just cause she feels like it."

"I guess," She agreed. "plus she's not smart enough to think of a prank that cruel."

That was when everything clicked into place. Damn that stupid cat.

"Prank." I thought aloud. "Wait a second, who do we know that we've pranked in the past few days?"

I figured it out. He's is one sly bastard! But what I'm wondering is how the hell he got my number! Guess I'm gonna have to find out the hard way, cause I know he's not gonna go for the easy way.

Skyl3r-M0on: A little bit of changes, but not much.

Ikuto: Eh, not bad.

Skyl3r-M0on: No one asked for your opinion feline.

Amu: R&R!
