Hello again,

To those of you that were confused about the last part of chapter one, that was a dream of Misaki's in her memory. I am going to put more flashbacks that either belong to Misaki or Takumi. You guys can guess which one I put. Just to notify you guys, Misaki is adopted... but I can't tell you guys much or else it'll spoil the whole entire story. Hope you guys enjoy the chapter!

Oh, and please review too!

Thanx,

Chapter 5: Hinata Shintani

"Misaki!" Sakura exclaimed over at their lunch table. She motioned her to come.

"Yes?" Misaki answered. "I'll talk to you later," she called back to Shizuko who nodded. The commotion has gone down and people had gone back to their seats. Misaki saw the three boys had settled in corner, eating their lunch. Shintani seemed to enjoy lunch more than anything else in the world, in the corner of Misaki's eyes, she saw sparkles in Shintani's eyes.

Misaki picked up her lunch and walked over to Sakura. "Why are you sitting here?"

Sakura blushed and slowly pointed in Kuuga's direction. Misaki rolled her eyes and plopped down besides Sakura. She opened her bento box again and continued eating.

Suddenly, a shock of murmur was heard and Misaki felt a sudden weird feeling. You know that awkward moment when someone stares at you and you stare back? Well, Misaki had one of those moments in her life. And it wasn't only one pair of eyes that was given her this uneasiness, it was thousands, in other words, the whole entire cafeteria.

Misaki was bothered by a sudden light tap on her shoulder. She turned around to only find herself facing a Shintani, the boy with soft brown hair and tanned skin. What she noticed was that... Shintani had sparkles in his eyes. Misaki shifted very uncomfortably in her seat and felt a rush of embarrassment.

"Umm... Do you need anything?" She asked.

"Are those..." Shintani began, "octopus weenies?" He stared at Misaki's bento with huge puppy eyes and a drooling mouth.

"Yeah," Misaki felt awkward staring at one of the most popular guys at school which was clearly wanting to have a taste of her ordinary, complete ordinary bento. "Do you want one?"

Shintani had a huge smile spread across his face. "Really? Can I have one?"

Misaki nodded.

Shintani nibbled on the sausage gratefully and while staring at Misaki. Misaki felt awkward, once again. Then a thought occurred to her, when did that guy come here and only came for this single octopus weenie? She then remembered that Shizuko had told her that Shintani had a sharp sense of smell, and she could obviously tell that Shintani loves food.

"What is your name? Your lunch looks so amazing! I have never seen anything like this!" Shintani exclaimed.

"Ayuzawa Misaki."

"Mi-sa-ki?" Shintani's eyes gleamed. He flashed a huge smile towards me. "That's a really beautiful name!"

"Thanks..."

"Oi! Shintani, you coming?" The Kuuga boy called. "We're gonna ditch you if you-"

"I'm coming!" Shintani called. He turned back to Misaki, "I'll see you around, Misa-chan!" And with that the three dudes left the cafeteria.

Misaki sighed as Sakura hovered over her.

"Oh. My. Gosh. Hinata Shintani just asked for your name!" She screamed. "What did he ask you? Spill!"
