I looked down from the school rooftop .Instead of having afternoon classes , Everyone is running around carrying some wooden cardboards and other art materials . Wondering what's going on ? Well , the school festival is coming up next week and everyone is busy preparing for it . So , the school made the time after lunch a time to prepare for the festival . Then , a hand covered my eyes .

"Guess who ?"

"Stop playing around weirdo.." I took her hands off and turned around . Takanishi-san was standing there and ..what the hell is she wearing ?!

"You're no fun at all !" She pouted .

"Its not fun to play lame games . By the way... what are you wearing ?" I looked at her and raised one of my eyebrows .

"Oh this ? This is a costume for the school festival !" she smiled and made a three hundred and sixty degrees turn. She was wearing a bear outfit . "How does it look ?"

"...you look weird ..."

"Hey , you're a meany !" she folded her hands and turned her back at me . Pfft , I was only joking . She don't have to be so serious . I walked over and placed my hands on her head .

"I'm joking … it suits you ..." I said and walked away . I can't believe I just said that !

Chiyo POV :

I stood there in silence as I watch echizen-san walk away . He patted my head … He said the outfit suits me .. I could feel my face getting hot . I ..i can't be blushing right ? Wh-why am I feeling so weird ! Why am I feeling all flustered inside ! I feel weird ! Am I sick or what ? He turned around .

"Oi weirdo … how long are you going to stand there like a complete idiot ?" he shouted .

I snapped out of my thoughts and ran towards him .

"Sorry , I was thinking about something ..." I told him . He kept quiet and the both of us walked back to the classroom . Everyone was busy with the classroom decoration . Ah , I better get out of these clothes before I ruin it ! I unzipped it and stepped out of the bear outfit .

"Wah it's so hot in there !" I said in relief .

"Only an idiot would wear it ..." echizen-san said .

"Well , I wanted to try it out , since I won't be able to wear it on the festival day ."

"You're in charge of giving out the flyers and showing people around right ..?"

"Well yeah !" How did he know ? I'm sure I didn't tell anyone . How did the news reach him that fast !

"Well good luck ..."

"What about you echizen-san ?" I walked in front of him and stared at him .

"Nothing ..."

What ?! Nothing ?! But ..

"But.. I thought everyone has a role ! Didn't you get one during the class meeting ?"

"I ...skipped it ..."

"No way ! I saw you there !"

"I slipped away when you weren't looking ..." he turned his head and covered his mouth . I stood there and stared at him . He slipped away ? Seriously ? Pfft ! I want to laugh ! Hehe , that's so like him . I covered my mouth and laughed a little to myself .

"What ?" He asked while looking at me .

"Nothing , I just thought that you're someone who'd do something like that , hehe ! So you're basically free on that day right ? How about this , help me out with the flyers !" I asked . At least he would have something to do .

"No way … i'm going to take a nap on the roof .." he said and walked out of the classroom . Hey , we just came back to class and now he's going out again ?! He's weirder than me ! Okay , why am I acknowledging the fact that i'm weird ?

"But that's unfair !" I started to ran towards him but then someone grabbed my elbow . I stopped and turned around . Eh , Sakuno-chan ?

"Sakuno-chan , is there something wrong ?" I asked . She looked at me with a worried face . What's wrong ? She looks a little weird . Geh ! Why am I calling people weird ?! I'm being influenced by echizen-san !

"Can we talk ?" She looked at me .

"Er..well..okay .." I nodded and followed her out of the classroom . I wonder what she wants to talk about . She usually don't talk to me , so I wonder what's going on . She walked out of the school and to the back garden . She stopped .

"Erm , sakuno .. is there something wrong ?" I asked .

"Chiyo-chan .. why do you keep hanging out with ryoma-kun.." She asked with her back facing me . Why , you ask ? And she called him...ryoma-kun. Why do I have this weird feeling in my chest .

"Well , he's my friend ."

"What about the things that he did ? I'm pretty sure you know what happened between sakuno and him ." A voice came out from behind . I turned around and saw Horio-kun , katsuo-kun , katchiro-kun and Tomoka-chan standing there . What are they doing here ? I thought sakuno wanted to talk to me alone !

"But that's all in the past and-" Before I could complete my sentence , Horio-kun cut me off .

"Even though its in the past , that doesn't mean it didn't happen chiyo ! Please , stop hanging around him anymore !"

"He's not someone you should be with ! You'll regret it !" Katsuo-kun shouted .

"That's right chiyo-chan ! You'll only going to get hurt if you're with him !" katchiro joined in . Why are they like this ? Some of the people in class are already starting to have a different view of echizen-san .They're slowly starting to talk him , even though he always ignores them . But why are they being like this ?

"You know … he cheated on me two years ago .. with someone that he just met . He's a jerk and you shouldn't stay around him . Chiyo , open your eyes ! He's a jerk that doesn't knows his mistakes !" sakuno walked over and stood beside tomoka . No ! That's not true ! He's not someone that will do something like that ! I don't know how I know that but... I just do ! Echizen-san is … echizen-san Is...

"Echizen-san is-" a hand came over me and covered my mouth . Mmph ! Who is it ? Why am I always cut off whenever I want to say something ! I looked up . Geh ?! Echizen-san ?! Why is he here ? Did he hear everything ? This is bad .. I took his hands off my mouth .

"What are you doing here ?" I asked . I was pretty sure he went to take a nap !

"Sensei is looking for you , you better head to the library .."

"Eh really ?"

He gave the same face he always shown me .

"Okay then ..." I walked towards the stairs . I stopped and looked back at echizen-san . Will he be alright ? I hope he's not hurt by the comments that the others said . Oh , what am I saying . I better head to the library !

Back at ryoma …

After Takanishi-san left , I turned around and faced the five people that I despised .

"You ! How long are you going to be around chiyo ! Leave her alone already !" Horio shouted at me .

"That's right ! You're just a scum that toy with people's feelings !" Katsuo shouted .

"Yeah ! Do you know how sakuno felt when she found out you cheated on her ?! And do you know how momoshiro-senpai felt when you betrayed him ?! " Osakada shouted again .

"Leave her alone jerk , you're a player and a traitor . Both to momo-senpai and the other regulars !" Katchiro shouted .

AH ! So noisy ! Why do people shout ? Its so god damn irritating ! Not to mention from the people I hate ! Playing with feelings ? Do they actually know what they're saying ? I didn't play with her feelings , She played with mine ! And what's this about betraying the other regulars ?!

"Let me ask you this ? What do you know about me ?" I took a step towards them .

"What ? We know-"

"What do you know about betrayal ? How does it feels to be betrayed and played with ? Do you know how it feels ?" I took another step closer . They kept quiet .

"What do you mean how it feels ?! It obviously hurt a lot !" horio shouted .

"You're right .. It hurts .." I glared at him which made him fall backwards . I smirked at him and walked away . As I walked pass ryuzaki-san , I gave her a deadly glare . I really feel like punching them ! I'm just so angry !

After school...

Sigh , I can't believe I even bothered to deal with that bunch of people ! What a waste of my time ! School has already ended , so lets just head off to work . My phone vibrated . I took it out . What ? A message from kaidoh-senpai ? I flipped it open .

'echizen , i'll head off first . I'm meeting Oishi-senpai for something important ..see you later ..'

See you later ? But i'll only be seeing him in school tomorrow andhe's not working part time at the restaurant anymore .So..what's this about seeing me later ? Ah whatever ! I stood at the school gate and waited for takanishi-san . She told me to wait for her at the gate , so where the hell is she ? Its already been ten minutes ! Usually , she's the one that waits for me . I leaned against the wall next to the gates and waited . I took out my phone and browsed through the internet . As I was waiting for takanishi-san , a group of people walked towards me . I looked up . Ah great .. not them again !

"Oh , echizen.. why are you still in school ?" Momoshiro-senpai stood there and smiled at me . Tsk , go away ..I was about to leave when I heard takanishi-san's voice . I turned around and saw her running towards me from the school garden .

"Sorry for being late !" She panted .

"Its fine ..." I said .

Momoshiro-senpai , osakada , ryuzaki-san , horio , katsuo and katchiro stood there and stared at the both of us . Momoshiro-senpai and I glared at each other . Takanishi-san looked at them and then at me .

"Er...is something wrong ?" she asked .

"...Nothing ..." I walked away ."You coming or what ?"

"Of course i'm coming !" she shouted and walked beside me .

"You're late ..."

"Hey , I was busy with the final preparation for the school festival ! It's tomorrow you know ?" she exclaimed .

"Sigh , why must it be on a Saturday ?" If I could , I wouldn't come at all ! But , i'll have to serve detention if i'm absent .. it is a compulsory event for the school after all .. Sigh .

"Lets enjoy ourselves alright echizen-san ?"

"Yeah..." But .. even still .. somehow , I want to go . Maybe its because .. she's there ..

At work...

You have got to be kidding me ! Why is Kaidoh-senpai and Oishi-senpai here ?

"W-why are you here ?"

"Oh echizen ! The both of us talked about how we enjoyed working here with you and chiyo-chan , so we decided to take up part time here for real ! Isn't that great ? Now we'll get to see each other everyday !" Oishi-senpai cried in happiness . The hell its great ! It just means the room will have more people and its going to be more noisy !

"Isn't it great echizen-san ? Right Oishi-senpai ?" Takanishi-san smiled at me and Oishi-senpai .

"That's right !" He high five-ed takanishi-san . Are the two of them the hyper duo?! I just don't get them at all ! Sigh .. today is going to be a tiring day for me .. and tomorrow ..

The day of the festival ..

Many people gathered at the front of the school . The school student council president walked up to the stand with a microphone .

"Thank you all for coming ! We now declare the school annual festival open !" He shouted and and sounded an alarm . Everyone cheered and clapped theirs hands . Okay , that's the signal for me to go up the roof and-

"Echizen-san !" Takanishi-san popped out in front of me.

"Do you always have to do that !?"

"What ?"

"Popping out of no where .."

"Hehe , you just didn't noticed me . Anyways , come on ! Lets enjoy the festival !" she grabbed my hands .

"Wait , don't you have work to do ? What happen to showing visitors around and giving out flyers ?"

"Oh , my shift is in two hours ! So I can have some fun now ! Come on !" She dragged me towards the place where stores are set up . She really is ...Unbelievable . First, she dragged me to a store that was selling chocolate bananas .

"Here ! Chocolate bananas are the best !" Takanishi-san handed me one .

"..Thanks.." I took it and took a bite . Hmm , not to shabby .. but I guess its okay . I took another bite and looked at takanishi-san who was smiling while eating her chocolate banana . She looks happy . Heh , she can be cute sometimes ...Ack ! What am I thinking ?! After that , she brought me to a game stall . The game requires you to use a ball to hit a mountain of cans .

"I heard your aim is pretty good !" she said .

"Well , sort of .."

Then , she handed me a ball .

"Prove it ! Hehe , try the game !"

Why should I ? Its just a waste of time …

"No way ..."

"Why not ? Unless you can't hit it ?" She smiled at me . What ?! I can definitely hit it !

"Give me the ball..." I said .

"Huh ?"

"Ah , I said give me the ball !" I said in frustration . She passed it to me and I threw it towards the mountain of cans . The mountain of cans collapsed and the student that was handling the stall stared at me with his eyes wide open .
"Wah ! That's incredible echizen-san !" takanishi-san jumped up and down in excitement . Obviously . This is nothing for me .

"Lets go somewhere else ! Come on !" She ran off by herself . Heh , she sure is lively . But before I left , the person called out to me .

"Eh..wait ...echizen right ? Erm .. you have to pick a prize .."

"Prize ?"

Meanwhile …

A group of people stepped in front of seishun high school . They stood in front of the school gate and smiled .

"Its been a while since we came back here... right tezuka ?" Fuji asked .

"Ah.." tezuka replied .

Hoho ! Finally I'm done ! So so soooooo sorry for the cliff hanger ! I know . Please forgive me :P Okay enough of my craps :D The regulars are back ! What's going to happen ? The school festival is not going to be a good one for ryoma . Or will it ? Hehe read to find out ! Sorry if there are some mistakes ! Hope you'll continue to support me ! Loves and hearts ! XD
