A lecture on the first day back from break was tough for a lot of the students in the room. Half of them were barely awake while the other half forced themselves to listen and take notes. Makoto sat in the middle row and wrote down every piece of important information he could catch. He didn't want to fall behind especially with his parents helping him pay for his tuition. Makoto was glad he had a good night's rest. It helped him focus more; something he could tell wasn't easy for his fellow companions.

After an hour and a half of struggling, Makoto finally left the room and headed to the cafeteria. He had an hour before he had to go to his next class. Luckily Kisumi had a similar schedule so they would meet up for lunch at the cafeteria. Makoto said his greetings to people he knew and made his way over to the semi-full cafeteria. Kisumi always sat at the same table in the corner near the window so it was easy for Makoto to find him.

"Hey Kisumi. How was your first class?" Makoto asked as he sat down across from his friend.

"It was boring, but somehow I made it through. What about yours?"

"The same, but I wrote down a lot of good notes."

"That's not a surprise."

Makoto smiled nervously, "I can't afford to slip up."

"I know what you mean. The last half of the semester is usually the toughest. I'm still trying to get a project done but some of my group members aren't that reliable." Kisumi looked over at a table annoyed. Makoto also looked over and saw three pretty girls talking with two good-looking guys. "Those two guys don't seem to really care about their grades. All college is for them is partying, drinking and sex," Kisumi said.

"Are your other group members helping you out?" Makoto asked a little concerned.

"Yeah, they're really productive when it comes to work. If it wasn't for them I would have just given up and received the F. It just sucks that those guys are going to get a good grade from all our hard work. Seriously, couldn't group projects stop in high school?"

"If only," Makoto replied while laughing a little. His phone started to vibrate in his pocket. Makoto reached to grab it and saw that it was Haruka. He smiled and answered the phone. "Haru! It's so rare for you to call me!"

Kisumi fought the urge to roll his eyes. He hated how Haruka could easily take Makoto's attention away from him. "Hey Mako, I'm going to go get some food. Do you want anything?" Kisumi asked as he got up.

"Ah, a burger and fries would be good," Makoto replied while covering the phone.

"Careful Mako, if you lose your figure, Haruka's going to be turned off," Kisumi said with a slight smirk.

"Ki-Kisumi!" Makoto stuttered with a blush creeping onto his face. Kisumi continued to smirk as he walked off and left Makoto alone at the table. Makoto sighed and turned his attention back to Haruka. "Sorry Haru, Kisumi was just asking me what I wanted to eat."

"You're eating lunch right now?" Haruka asked on the other line.

"Yeah, my first class ended a while ago and I don't have my next class until two. What about you Haru? How has your day been?"

"It's been fine. Your mom bought me some really good mackerel and I already ate half of it."

"Haru! You need to really eat something other then mackerel!"

"Nothing catches my interest."

"That's because you're too stubborn to eat anything else Haru."

Haruka smiled a little. "You might be right about that."

A few girls walked passed Makoto's table and waved. Makoto waved back and smiled. "Are you going to see Nagisa and Rei today?"

"Umm…" Haruka hesitated to answer. He was actually going to meet Rin to eat and then head to the rec center. "Yeah, I'm going to see them later."

"That's nice. I wish I could be there too. I really do miss you Haru."

"I miss you too. Don't make more people fall in love with you, okay?"

Makoto couldn't help but laugh at Haruka's jealousy. "Don't worry Haru, you're the only one I love. Ah! I have to hang up; my phone's starting to die. I'll text you later okay?"

"All right. Talk to you later."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Makoto hung up the call while he kept the smile on his face. Kisumi walked over to the table and placed a plate of food in front of Makoto. "I see you had a nice conversation with Haruka," Kisumi said as he sat down.

"It was nice, but it only makes me miss him more."

"You sound like a lovesick puppy, it's a little annoying," Kisumi replied.

"Ah! Sorry Kisumi! I'll stop talking about Haru if that makes you feel better!"

"Thanks. You know, you can make it up to me by going to that party the fraternity guys are hosting tonight. I hear it's going to be fun."

"I'm not really a party person," Makoto replied nervously.

"We'll just go for a little while. I need something to distract me from this stress. Please Makoto. I need a big strong man to be by my side."

Makoto blushed a little, "Okay, Okay! I'll go!"

Kisumi laughed a little and took a bite of his piece of pizza. Makoto started to eat his burger and smiled while he chewed his food. Kisumi didn't know how Makoto could still look handsome eating greasy food, but he did. From what Rin had texted him, Haruka was going to meet up with Rin later on in the day. Something told Kisumi that Makoto was unaware of the meeting. Haruka's little lie would definitely end up hurting him and Kisumi would be the one to comfort Makoto after Haruka's betrayal.
