The wind blew against my hair . Who would have thought that sitting on the roof would be so relaxing . It used to remind me of unpleasant memories , but now , it feels completely different . It feels ..good . The door to the roof swung opened and kaidoh-senpai appeared . He walked towards me and sat down beside me .

"Sorry for being late .." Kaidoh-senpai said as he took out his lunch box . Wow , his lunch is …

"Is your lunch always this classy ?" I asked him as I stared into his lunch box filled with all kinds of different side dishes .

"My mother likes to cook..."

"Hmm … I see.."

As I was about to open my packet of bread , the door opened . I thought it may have been takanishi-san , but I was disgusted at the sight that I was seeing .

"Hey , this is a good spot to have lunch !" Osakada shouted to the building . She then walked in , followed by Horio , Katsuo , Katchiro , Momoshiro-senpai and ryuzaki-san . Sigh , why must they come up here ? They turned to our direction .

"Hey , its the jerk .. What is he doing here ? And ..kaidoh-senpai is with him ?!" Osakada shouted in surprise . Momoshiro-senpai looked at our direction and shot a glare at us . I ignored him but I saw kaidoh-senpai returning the glare . Looks like they really are enemies with each other now .

"Just ignore them ...i'm pretty used to it by now..." I told kaidoh-senpai . He looked at me and turned away from them . They stared at us for a few seconds but walked away and sat a few steps opposite of where we were sitting . Sigh . I looked down at my watch . Where the hell is that weirdo anyways ? She said she'd be here soon … Its already been ten minutes .. Tsk , this is irritating me !

"Are you worried ?" Kaidoh-senpai spoke to me all of a sudden .

"What?"

"About Takanishi-san.."

"N-no .. Why would I be worried about that weirdo ..." Ack , what's wrong with my voice ?! Why do I sound weird ?!

All of a sudden , the door slammed open and there she was , ms weirdo . She was panting . I'm guessing she ran up three stories . Pfft , that's so like her … She looked around until she saw me and kaidoh-senpai . She smiled and waved at us . As she was about to walk towards us , Osakada-san called out to her .

"Chiyo ! Over here !" Osakada waved . Takanishi-san looked towards her direction .

"Join us for lunch Chiyo !" Horio said as he gave her a big smile .

She stood between us and didn't move . Then she turned towards Osakada .

"Erm..Sorry , but i'm joining echizen-san and kaidoh-senpai for lunch .. Maybe some other time.."

Osaka then stood up from where she was and walked towards takanishi-san .

"Why do you want to hang out with them ? We're much more fun here !"

More annoying you mean ..

"But i-" Before she could continue her sentence . Momoshiro-senpai stood up , walked towards her and grabbed her by her wrist .

"Come on ! It'll be a lot more fun with us then with them !" He exclaimed . What the hell is he doing ? Grabbing her by the wrist ? Isn't he aware that his girlfriend is there ? Does he have any dignity ?!

"Erm , ..Momoshiro-senpai , can you please let me go ..." Takanishi-san told him . She doesn't look so good . Her face is starting to turn slightly pale .

"Eh ? Come on it's going to be fine !" He started to pull her towards where they were sitting .

"But.."

Okay , that's it ! I'm not going to sit here and watch this anymore ! I stood up and walked towards them.

"You're going to enjoy lunch with us !" Momoshiro-senpai said with a smile on his face .

"Momoshiro-senpai , i-" As takanishi-san was about to say something , I grabbed her wrist and separated her from momoshiro-senpai's grip . He looked at me with his eyes wide open .

"Are you deaf or what ? She say she doesn't want to have lunch with you ..." I shot a glare at him .

"Echizen ryoma , what's your problem ?" Horio came over .

"Hmm...I just don't like the sight of you guys trying to force her to do something that she doesn't want to do ...And don't you dare call me by my full name !" I turned and glared at horio and he took a step back.

Momoshiro-senpai stared at me and takanishi-san . He kept quiet . Then , he smiled at us .

"Sorry , I didn't know that we were forcing her to do something that she don't want to , Sorry Chiyo-chan ! We'll just head back and have lunch , if you want to , you can join us for lunch some other time ! Come on you two , lets go back and have lunch ." He turned towards osakada and horio .

"But , momo-senpai.."

"No buts , come on !"

The both of them looked at each other and said nothing . The three of them walked back to their place . I released Takanishi-san's wrist and walked back to kaidoh-senpai . She followed behind me and the both of us sat down beside each other , facing kaidoh-senpai . I looked at takanishi-san . Her face is still a little pale .

"You okay ..?" I asked

"Y-yeah , i'm fine . I wouldn't know what to do if you weren't there . Thanks ." She smiled at me . Its nothing .. Besides ... I really hate that group .

"So you were nervous back there ?"

"Well... more like uncomfortable . I just can't be myself when I'm with them ..even if they're my friends .They don't know the real me . They assumed that they do but ... no"

"Hmm , then ... what about him ?" I pointed at kaidoh-senpai . Kaidoh-senpai looked at me with a shocked look on his face .

"Well .. Kaidoh-senpai doesn't really talk much ..Plus he's a bit different too . At first it was a little weird ..But during the weekend , as he helped out at work with us , I got to know him better and I feel that he's a really nice person . And I feel that he always speaks his thoughts out clearly , like you . I really don't feel that uncomfortable whenever i'm with the both of you . I actually enjoyed it . Its fun ."

"Hmm …"

"Anyways , that's over already , lets just enjoy our lunch !" she took out her lunch box . Then she stared at kaidoh-senpai's lunch box . "Kaidoh-senpai , your lunch look so exquisite !" She said as she kept staring at kaidoh-senpai's lunch box .

"I get that a lot .." Kaidoh-senpai said as he picked up a side dish . I sighed and opened my packet of bread .

"Echizen-san , is that your lunch again ?" Takanishi-san asked me .

"Yeah ..."

As I was about to take a bite , she grabbed the packet of bread from me . I stared at her . What is this weirdo doing ?

"What the hell do you think you're doing ?"

"Preventing you from eating the bread ..." she pouted and looked down on to the bread .

HUH ?!

"Its just that … you're always eating bread whenever we have lunch ! In class , at work and even now !"

"It doesn't matter , so long as it fill my stomach ..Now give me back my lunch .." I tried to take my lunch back from her , but she avoided my hands and hid it in her jacket .Okay , now i'm starting to regret saving her !

"Here ! Eat this ! I'll have the bread instead !" She pushed her lunch box into my hands. I looked at her .

"This is your lunch... not mine .."

"Does it matter ?" She tilted her head .

"Of course it matters !Just give me the bread and eat your lunch weirdo ..."

"No way ! You work so hard at work ... You're only going to get sick if you continue eating bread bread and bread ! You should eat something more nutritious ! And besides , you like home cooked food right ?"

I looked at her with a shocked expression on my face .How did she know …? Its true that I like home cooked food . I haven't eaten any home cooked food for quite some time due to my late schedule at work . Its either always food from the convenience store or fast food .

"How do you know ?" I asked .

"Because you finished the whole pot of curry I made for you the time you came over to tutor me !"

I looked down on to her lunch box . She remembered ? Well , to be honest , I really enjoyed her cooking ..

"Thanks..."I said softly .

"Hehe , you're welcome ! Come on , try it !"

I said nothing . Instead , I picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of her lunch . As I chewed on the food , I took a glance at takanishi-san and she was staring at me . Why is she staring at me ?!

"What ?"

"How does it taste ?"

I continued to chew on the food and swallowed it . I looked down on to the lunch box and stared at it . I picked up another side dish and tried it . I am speechless . Is this what she always eat at home... ? I turned back up and stared at her .

"So~? Don't just stare at me ! How is it ?"

"….."

She waved her hands over my face .

"Echizen-san ?"

"...its..g...d"

"What ? I can't hear you ."

"Its .go...d"

"Huh ?"

"I said its good !"

I turned away from her .God why must she make me repeat myself ! Ah what the hell am I saying !? She stared at me with a confused look on her face . Then she poked my face with her finger . What the hell is she doing ?!

"Are you really echizen-san ?"

What ?!

"Huh ?! What are you saying idiot ?!"

"Because .. you just praised me ! Normally , you would say something like 'so-so' or 'idiot' or 'its fine' . But , you just told me its good !" she exclaimed . She is really something .. I can't believe she actually remembered what I always tell her .

"If you hate it , I can always shut up .."

"Hey , I didn't say I hated it ! I was just surprised !" she smiled and took a bite of the bread . She looked really happy eating the bread . God , I don't get her sometimes , the school canteen food taste horrible ! How is it that she's smiling ?! Sigh . I looked up and found kaidoh-senpai staring at me . Shit , I totally forget that he's here ! And I bet he saw everything ! This is awkward … I turned away from him and continued to eat my lunch . After about 10 minutes , we finished eating . I'm starting to get thirsty ..

"Wah , i'm so full ! What about the two of you ?" Takanishi-san asked as she crushed the plastic bag in her hand .

"Fshhh..." kaidoh-senpai replied . I wonder if she understands .

"Well .. I had a good lunch...i'm slightly thirsty . So...I'll go get a drink ..." Maybe ponta would be good .

"I'll come with you too , i'm also a little thirsty ." Takanishi-san said . She stood up and headed towards the door . "Hurry up slow poke !"

"Who's the slowpoke ?!" I shouted as I stood up . "kaidoh-senpai .. you coming with us ?"

"Nah , i'll just head back to class in a few minutes .. go on ahead .."

I looked at him and nodded my head . Then , I walked towards the door and down the stairs . Will he be alright alone up there ? Sigh … Anyways , that weirdo is just too fast ! She's already gone !

On the roof …

Kaidoh was about to leave when someone called out to him . He wasn't too surprised as he recognized the voice . He turned around and saw six people standing there .

"What ?" He asked in a annoyed tone .

"Kaidoh-senpai ! Why are you and chiyo hanging out with echizen ?!" Osakada shouted .

"Is there a problem ? I hang out with who I want to..!"

"But-" Osakada was cut of by a hand that appeared in front of her . She looked up and saw momoshiro standing there .

"Let me talk to him... why don't you guys go on ahead and go back to class ?" He smiled at her . She looked at momoshiro and said nothing . Soon the others were on their way back to class .Before they left , sakuno stood outside the door for a while and looked at momoshiro with a worried look on her face. After standing there for about a few seconds , she walked away. There was only kaidoh and momoshiro on the roof now . The both of them stood there and stared at each other .

"What do you want ?" Kaidoh asked .

"You just won't listen , won't you ?"

"What ?"

"I told you not to hang around echizen . Now the entire team doesn't respect you at all .."

"Where are you going with this ? If you want to tell me something , just get straight to the point ! Stop beating about the bush !" Kaidoh shouted . His eyes was filled with anger and rage . He clenched his fist hard .

"Okay , fine . I don't care anymore if you want to hang around him . But I want to know why is Chiyo hanging out with the both of you .."

"That's none of your business . Who she hangs out with is non of your business .."

Momoshiro then folded his arms .

"That's strange right ? Even after the others told her about echizen's past .. she still hang out with him . What did you two do to her ? Or maybe you guys threatened her ? Is that why she keeps hanging around the two of you ?"

"What did you say ?!" Kaidoh was raging with anger . His voice started to get louder and he was about to charge at momoshiro .

"Maybe if I tell her something else , she might not even want to hang out with him anymore.." Momoshiro smiled evilly at kaidoh . This made kaidoh snap and he charged towards momoshiro . Grabbing him by the collar , he pushed momoshiro towards the wall .

"You already have sakuno ! Why are doing this ?! Can't you just leave echizen alone ?! Why are you trying to separate the both of them !? Why are you trying to make life so hard for him ?!" Kaidoh shouted .Momoshiro grabbed kaidoh by the hand and pushed him back .

"Don't touch me without my permission !"

Kaidoh was furious . He wanted to punch momoshiro , but he held back his anger and walked away .

"If you dare do anything to separate the both of them , I won't forgive you ..!" Kaidoh said in a angry tone and he walked out of the roof . Momoshiro stood there and stared at the direction of kaidoh , clenching his fist .

Back to ryoma …

The both of us were sitting down on a bench next to the school vending machine , drinking our drinks .

"You know , for a girl … you sure run fast ..." I told takanishi-san while holding my can of drink near my mouth .

"Is that so ? Well , then for a guy .. you sure are slow hehe !"

"Oh yeah ? We'll see about that ." I closed my eyes and took a sip from my drink .

"By the way echizen-san . You seem to like that drink a lot . I always see you drinking that ."

I opened my eyes and took a glance at her . Is she always noticing small details about me ? Well , that's one of her weird points . I continued to drink my ponta and finished the drink . I threw the empty can away in the rubbish bin and sat back down beside her .

"Compare to running and disappearing , looks like i'm faster than you in drinking .."

"Hey , I want to enjoy my drink you know . Besides , you drink too fast !"

She continued to drink . I looked at her and at what she was drinking . Hmm .. green tea .. Never tried it . Wonder if it taste weird . Sigh . What am I thinking ? I leaned back against the bench and closed my eyes . I felt the cool wind breeze blowing against my face and heard the sounds of birds chipping. Well , this feels good . I'm actually glad this place is rather quiet . Its usually quite noisy .

"Hey , I'm done drinking , lets head back to class . The bell is about to ring soon ."

"Yeah..."

I stood up and headed towards the direction of the school . Takanishi-san ran towards the rubbish bin next to the school lab . She threw the empty can into the bin when I heard a voice .

"Hey watch out !" someone shouted from above . Watch out ? I looked up and saw a pot of flowers falling from the sky . It was headed right towards Takanishi-san !

"Hey weirdo ! Look out !" I shouted and ran towards her . I grabbed her arm and pulled her towards me , away from where she was standing .

CRASH ! The pot crashed on to the floor and were in pieces .I looked down on to takanishi-san that was in my arms . She wasn't saying anything .

"H-hey .. weirdo ? Y-you okay ?" Why aren't you talking ? Please don't tell me you fainted ! Then , she moved and her head faced up to look at me . Our eyes made contact . There was silence all over . The both of us just stared at each other for sometime .

"Yeah .. i'm fine … wah that scared me … I thought I was gonna die .."

"You idiot ..." I released her from my arms and the both of us stood up .

People came running down from the stairs and headed towards takanishi-san . They crowded around her and bombed her with questions .

"Chiyo ! You okay ?!"

"Hey that was dangerous ! Why didn't you place the pot carefully ?!"

"Sorry ! Chiyo you okay ? You didn't get hurt right ?!"

Sigh , i'm going to head back to class now . I feel out of place here , plus , its too noisy . As I was about to walk away , takanishi-san grabbed hold of my hands .

"Hey thanks for saving me again...heh.. I realized that i'm always being saved by you ...so thanks .." She smiled at me . Everyone looked at us . Well , this is awkward .

"Its nothing ..." I moved away from where I was and started walking back to class .

"Hey wait up !" Takanishi-san shouted and walked beside me . I said nothing and walked back to class .

Meanwhile …

"Hey , that guy saved chiyo right ?" One of the students said .

"yeah .. he did ..i saw it from the class room .. he pulled her away before the pot crashed ."

"Maybe .. he's not as bad as we thought he might be ..."

"Plus Chiyo is always around him and she doesn't seem scared or uncomfortable .. she looks cheerful when she's around him .Maybe … echizen is a good person after all ..?"

They looked at each other with a confused look on their faces and headed back to class .
