Satoshi-

I yawn and look at the clock. Just five more minutes until lunch break. The teachers monotonous drone doesn't help the fact that I'm bored as shit- much like everybody else.

Yoshiki was sleeping in the corner of the room, his head on his desk, while Shinozaki eyed him annoyedly. Shinohara and Naomi were swapping notes under the table, one blushing a furious shade of red, the other laughing in my direction. Nearly everybody was fidgeting or whispering to other students. Some were like me, staring at the clock. Willing for the hours to pass.

The familiar to ringing was the greatest sound I'd heard all day, ending the lecture, about god knows what, abruptly. Students scrambled from their chairs to join the flurry of people outside. I made my gradual way over to the secluded corner of the canteen in which my friends were sat.

"Mochida! Come sit here!" Shinohara said, signalling to the space next to Naomi. She smiles awkwardly at me.

"No, Mochida! Sit next to me!" Shinozaki said bossily.

I decide to ignore and sit with Naomi, Yoshiki looking at me gratefully. "Hey Yoshiki."

"Hey."

"Gosh~! You guys are booorrriiinnnggg!" Yelled Shinohara teasingly. "Friends have gotta be more like THIS!"

Naomi yelped as she was tackled by Shinohara who was groping her. While I sat still and tried not to blush like mad.

"Ooo! Satoshi's blushing~!" Shinohara teased, "pervert!"

I sigh. "Says you."

We sit in uncomfortable silence, Shinozaki watching Naomi and me jealously.

Naomi ~

"Hi guys!" We hear a cheerful voice shout.

"Calm down, Mayu!" another, more subdued, voice says.

"I just can't, Shige-nii! I'm so happy!"

"What's up?" Satoshi asks Mayu and Morishige.

"I got the main part in our play! And even better- Shige-nii is my lover!" An overwhelmed Mayu exclaims.

As well as congratulations, there is a lot of teasing towards the red faced Morishige.

"You look like a freaking tomato."

The seven of us sit in the corner, away from the rest of the school. It's nicer that way.

I couldn't help but feel giddy with excitement when Satoshi sat with me instead of Shinozaki. Her anguished face was all too thrilling. Although I guess I've disliked her since the threats about staying away from Satoshi.

I feel someone's hand slither down and grab mine and gasp when I realise it's Satoshi's. I look at his blushing face and smile at him. He smiles back. I see Shinozaki pretend not to notice.

"Awh! Everyone, look! These two are dating!" Seiko yells, grinning evilly.

"I- I- what!?" Stutters Satoshi, as I look down, red in the face.

"WHAT!?" Shinozaki and Kishinuma both yell.

"We're friends!" I say desperately while Satoshi nods furiously.

Everyone continues with their chats, looking either glad or disappointed.

Satoshi~

"So, Satoshi, if you two aren't dating... Do you mind if I do this?" Shinohara whispers, tracing a finger up Naomi's thigh.

"H-hey! Stop!" Naomi gasps, shivering.

"No! If Mochida doesn't want you, I'll have you ~~!" She giggles, and buries her face into Naomi's chest.

"No... Get... Off!"

"Shinohara! Just stop!" I say, surprising all three of us.

"Yay! You DO want her!" She exclaims, excitedly.

Once Naomi got her off, she looks at me, blushing.

I stare back, unsure of what to do.

"Just do it already!" I hear Yoshiki say.

I am about to confess to her, when-

"Nakashima? Come with me a sec."

Shinozaki leads her away. Everyone looks at each other, puzzled.

When they return, Shinozaki looks smug while Naomi seems terrified. "Naomi? What's up?" I ask. She shakes her head, smiling falsely.

"O-okay."

I prepare myself while everyone waits expectantly.

"Will you... Be my girlfriend?"

Silence.

"No!" She cries, breaking into tears.

My heart has broken. Shattered.

Everyone gasps.

"What!?" Cries Seiko, near tears, "You were only saying just this morning how much you loved this coward!"

Naomi runs off, tears pouring down her face. No one sees her for the rest of the day.

After school, I am gloomily preparing to walk home when I am approached by Shinozaki.

"That was really harsh of her! Would... You like me, as class rep, to accompany you home?" She asks, innocence in her blue eyes.

"Im fine." I say blankly.

What could have made her like this? She was fine until she went to talk to Shinozaki. Maybe she really meant it when she said 'just friends'. I don't want to move on. I want Naomi.

"Mochida. You know I know better."

I shrug and she follows me out of school. I can't shake her off.

Ayumi~

Why was he being so down? It was just Naomi!

"Mochida... There are lots more people out there!"

"None like Naomi..." He mumbles.

My plan... Will it never get through to him!? I've gotta make this happen myself.

"For example... I'm looking for someone." I hint, sure I am blushing like mad.

"What!? I'm sorry, Shinozaki, but I can't handle you right now! The love of my life has just rejected me and my heart is broken. But I'm worried sick about her strange attitude so if you know ANYTHING. Tell. Me."

I flinch at the words 'love of my life.'

"Uhm... Well..." I start.

"Yes?" He says desperately.

"You know I talked to her earlier..."

I run away then, knowing that in a matter of minutes he'll have figured it all out.

Naomi~

I sit cross-legged on the steps of the school, hidden from sight. The tears start when I watch Shinozaki and Satoshi leaving together.

I didn't want to reject him.

But I don't want her to hurt me in a way only she knows.

I sob quietly. Why does it have to be like this? If only you knew Satoshi...

I am startled by hurried footsteps approaching me. Fearing it's Shinozaki, I try and hide in the shadows.

"Don't hide."

That voice...

"Satoshi?"

He stands over me, rain beginning to fall from the greying skies.

"Crap. I only have my jacket," he says, not meeting my eyes.

"How did you find me?"

"Heh. I've seen you come here when you were upset before."

He doesn't smile. But he doesn't seem angry either.

"Are you mad at me?"

His expressionless face now displays shock.

"No...! No. I know what happened... With Shinozaki."

I flinch.

"It's not your fault."

"I'm so sorry for hurting you! She threatened me..."

He leans down next to me. "Don't worry. You know I wouldn't let her hurt you!"

I nod. "Yes but... She said she'd hurt... You."

His eyes widen at my words. "She can't hurt me. She's not that strong."

"She'll have her ways."

Suddenly, he grabs my hands and meets my eyes.

"Don't let her get between us, okay? I'll protect you... And myself, okay?"

His gesture fills me with happiness.

"I love you, Satoshi."

He smiles. "I love you too."

He takes my hand and helps me up.

"You're shivering... Take my jacket," he says, offering it to me.

"But... You'll get wet!" I protest.

He shrugs. "Doesn't bother me."

I gratefully take it.

Satoshi~

I gaze into her eyes, gently flicking away a stray strand of hair from her face. I lean in, about to kiss her. She closes her eyes and-

"Ahem."

Not again, damn it.

"Shinozaki!?" Naomi squeals, intimidated by the taller girl.

"Nakashima! Remember what I said!?" She yells with a cold gleam in her eye. "But don't worry! I won't hurt Mochida. He doesn't DESERVE that! You, however..."

Naomi clings to me in fear, her hazel eyes full of anticipation. "Shinozaki...!" I shout, as she reaches out a hand to slap her.

Surprised, she turns to me. "Dont worry, Mochida! When I've done with her, you won't be distracted by how pretty she is!"

I hold her back, angrily. "Don't you touch her! She's a nicer person then you'll ever be!"

Her eyes narrow and she looks at me, angry.

"How could you say that Mochida! Don't you understand...? I'm doing this for you."

I let go of her. She has stopped struggling.

"I don't like you that way. I'm sorry. Naomi is the only one for me-"

"But-"

"But I know someone who does."

She raises an eyebrow. "Who exactly?"

"Heh... Yoshiki perhaps?"

Her eyes widen. She gives me a brief hug, stares disgustedly at Naomi and runs off in the direction of Yoshiki's house.

Naomi wraps her and around my neck.

"Satoshi... Thank you!" She exclaims.

I claim her lips as my own in a kiss I've wanted for a while. As we break apart, the rain seems to be dying down.

"Want me to... Walk you home?"

"Sure!" She beams at me.

I take her hand and together, we walk down the empty road.

But.

Seiko~

Perfect! The whole kiss on video! I know a lot of people who'd love to know about the knew couple! Hehe! I stow my phone away into my bag and text Naomi.

'Guess what I just saw a certain someone do with Mochida!'

I laugh at the reply.

'Fuck you'
