The next morning, at St. Andrew gakuen. Yuuki was walking in the hallway when she walked passed by ‘The Juliets’, who were in the music room jamming.

‘Eeee???is that Yuuki?’ Hiroki pointed out.

‘doko???’ Kazuki asked and peeked at the door, ‘ahhh…Yuuki…’ he shouted.

Yuuki looked back and saw Kazuki waving at her, ‘ah…nande?’ she asked coldly.

‘awww…so cold…come here…’ Kazuki pouted.

‘what is it?’ Yuuki asked again coldly.

Masao peeked behind Kazuki, ‘yoh Yuuki…ohayou…’ he greeted.

‘ohayou…’ Yuuki greeted back.

‘ne…come listen to us for a while…we need an audience…’ Taka said happily as he peeked out the door.

‘find someone else…I’m busy…’ Yuuki said coldly.

‘Yuuki~!!!’ Kazuki,Taka and Masao cried out.

‘what happened???’ Eiji came running and peeked.

‘NANI???’ Yuuki said in an annoyed tone.

‘Eeee?Yuuki-kun…so cold…’ Eiji pouted.

‘ne ne Yuuki-kun…are you angry with us?’ Hiroki asked as he peeked out too.

‘Iie…I’m just…busy…’ Yuuki mumbled.

Mitsuo came out of the room and walked closer to him then grabbed her wrist and pulled him in the music room with out any words coming out of his mouth.

‘NANI SUNDAYOU~!!!Let go…’ struggles from Mitsuo’s grip, ‘this is not the first time he did this…’ she thought.

‘OMG~!!!Mitsuo is being harsh to Yuuki…’ Masao whispered.

‘sou ne…they are so kawaii…’ Kazuki agreed.

‘so kawaii together…look at them…’ Taka whispered while staring at Yuuki and Mitsuo.

‘why is it so hard for you to be friends with us?’ Mitsuo asked still holding a grip on Yuuki’s wrist.

‘ohhh…like a couple…’ Eiji whispered.

‘choo kawaii na…’ Hiroki giggled.

‘Nani??? I told you I’m busy…’ Yuuki answered still struggling.

‘busy?you’re just new here…don’t fool me…’ Mitsuo said coldly.

‘tsk…why are you so unreasonable?you’re so annoying…stop stepping into other people’s lives…’ Yuuki shot back and pulls her hand out from Mitsuo’s grip.

‘kowaiii~!!!’ Taka,Eiji,Masao,Hiroki and Kazuki shivered.

Mitsuo got irritated and grabbed the collar of Yuuki’s school uniform and pulled her inches away from his face, ‘Baka ja nai no?you’re the one who’s so unreasonable…’

‘Eeee?Boku?tsk…If only you would stop annoying me…then maybe I would be friends with you…’ Yuuki said coldly, ‘his eyes…its…so sad…nani sore?’

‘don’t look at me like that…you’re eyes reminds me of that girl I met the other night…’ Let’s go of Yuuki’s collar and walks off to the roof top.

‘Mistuo…’ Hiroki and Eiji said in a worried tone.

‘Yuuki…’ Masao and Taka run towards her.

‘daijobou desuka?’ Kazuki asked.

‘ha…hai…daijobou desu…’ Yuuki answered, ‘his…eyes…why are they…so…sad?’  Yuuki thought, ‘anno…sumimasen…’ runs away.

‘what happened to them?’ Taka asked worriedly.

‘its all so sudden…’ Eiji added.

‘sou desu ne…I never saw Mitsuo that angry before…’ Hiroki agreed.

‘what could made him so angry to Yuuki???’ Masao asked.

At the roof top, Mitsuo sat on the edge and start wondering.  ‘why are those eyes always makes me feel like this?why does everytime those eyes meets mine, I feel so tamed…I can’t get angry when those eyes…he’s a guy…but his eyes looks exactly like the girl I met the other night…he’s a guy but…I feel different when talking to him…’ he whispered to himself.

Meanwhile it was already class hours but Mitsuo is still staying at the roof top, at the class room his band mates are worrying about him.

‘where could Mitsuo be?’ Kazuki asked worriedly.

‘sou ne…it’s almost lunch time…but he’s still not back yet…’ Hiroki agreed.

‘could he be picking fights on the streets by now?’ Eiji asked worriedly.

‘he’s such a baka…skipping class for no reason at all…’ Masao frowned.

‘sou ne…he didn’t even thought of us who are worrying about him…’ Taka added.

.+.~…~.+.

It was already their lunch break, Yuuki was still thinking of Mitsuo’s sad eyes. It keeps bothering her and she felt guilty for making Mitsuo angry that he skipped half day of school, so she decided to find him and talk to him.

‘ne Yuuki…where are you going?’ Masao asked curiously.

‘anno…just gonna take a walk…’ Yuuki answered as she hurriedly ran out of the room.

‘Eeee?why is he acting so weird all of a sudden?’ Taka asked.

‘sou ne…she looks worried…’ Hiroki nodded.

‘could he be worrying about Mitsuo?’ Kazuki asked.

‘sou ne…he’s too obvious…’ Eiji agreed and giggled.

‘they really look like a couple ne?’  Kazuki mumbled.

‘a very strange but kawaii couple to be exact…’ Masao added.

‘sou desu ne…’ Hiroki giggled.

.+.~…~.+.

And so Yuuki went around the whole school to find Mitsuo. She went to the court, the garden, the music room, the science lab, the infirmary and other possible places where Mitsuo might be hiding. She looked everywhere but unfortunately she can’t find any sign of Mitsuo.

Yuuki stopped running for a while and took some fresh air, ‘where???where could…he be???’ she asked herself worriedly while panting, ‘where else could he be???’ she asked again then remembered the only place she haven’t looked, the roof top. ‘why did I forgot that place? It’s his territory…’ she hit herself and ran up the roof top.

When Yuuki arrived at the roof top, she saw Mitsuo sleeping while holding a charm bracelet. She walked closer to him quietly and sat inches away from where Mitsuo was sleeping then took a breathe of fresh air.

‘why did you skipped half of the day huh?’ Yuuki whispered, ‘everyones worried about you…’ she continued silently then glance on the sleeping Mitsuo, ‘hey…that’s m…bracelet…so…it was you who got it…’ she thought as she kept staring at her charm bracelet.

Suddenly, Yuuki felt her heart pounding faster. Her face slowly heats up as she continue to stare at Mitsuo’s sleeping face. ‘na…nani sore…’ places one hand on her chest and feels her heart beat becaming faster and faster, ‘what is this?why am I feeling this way? I…I can’t…breathe properly…what is happening?’ she thought as she looked away. ‘dame…dame…this is not right…stop it…don’t be fooled by him…he’s just like other guys out there…making girls cry…’ she shooked her head furiously then took a deep breath.

Then glance again at Mitsuo, ‘demo…why did you kept that bracelet?you should just have thrown that away ne…soshite…why are your eyes so sad?why are they sad???’ she asked in her thoughts, ‘why am I feeling this way towards you?oshiete…’ she asked again.

Suddenly the sleeping Mitsuo started to talk, ‘stop staring at me…’ he commanded and opened his eyes then catches Yuuki’s stare.

‘those eyes again…nande?’ Yuuki asked in her thoughts then looked away.

‘what are you doing here?who told you, you can just go in and out here with out any permission from me?’ Mitsuo asked coldly.

‘anno…I…I mean your friends…they’re worried…about you…’ Yuuki mumbled, ‘I worried about you…too…’ she continued in her thoughts.

‘let them be…’ Mitsuo answered coldly then closed his eyes.

‘nani???let them be???’ Yuuki asked in an angry tone, ‘they were so worried about you…they kept thinking what might had happened to you…where you are…are you ok or not…then you’ll tell me to let them be???don’t you care at all about how they are feeling right now??? They care so much about you….they are you’re friends…then…you’ll tell me…let them be?’ Yuuki lectured.

‘what does it have to do with you?it’s none of your business…we’re not your friends…so SHUT UP and STOP STEPPING INTO OTHER PEOPLES LIVES…’ Mitsuo said in an annoyed tone.

‘nani? I worried about you…I felt so guilty…I went around looking for you… then now you’ll tell me to SHUT UP???’ Yuuki said in a hurt tone and with teary eyes.

‘who told you to look for me anyway?and who told you to be worried???’ Mitsuo said coldly.

Yuuki stood up and slapped Mitsuo on the face, ‘how dare you say this things to me? I worried for you so much… I don’t even know why the hell I cared for you… I shouldn’t have in the first place… you’re so unreasonable…’ Yuuki cried out.

Mitsuo stood up and muttered, ‘UNREASONABLE???who’s the one who acted so cold in the first place HUH???who’s the one who started saying those cruel words back there? Am I the one? Huh?’ he asked in a very hurt tone, ‘didn’t you told me not to step into other people’s lives? But what are you soing now?’ Mitsuo added.

Yuuki stood there speechless and crying in front of Mitsuo. Feeling so stupid and hurt.

‘get out…’ Mitsuo muttered, ‘GET OUT NOW~!!!’ Mitsuo yelled angrily while pointing at the door.

‘I HATE YOU~!!!’ Yuuki ran away while crying.

And Mitsuo collapsed on the floor as tears starts to flow from his eyes, ‘why am I crying? What the hell am I doing? His eyes… why are those eyes… making me so weak? I can’t… even lift a hand on him… what’s with him anyway?’ Mitsuo whispered to himself while holding the charm bracelet tightly.

.+.~…~.+.

Meanwhile at the classroom, Yuuki was crying on her desk when Mitsuo’s band mates came back from the cafetteria.

‘Yuuki-kun?’ Eiji muttered as he entered the door.

‘Eeeee???why are you crying Yuuki-kun???’ Hiroki asked worriedly as he ran beside Yuuki.

‘daijobou desuka?’ Kazuki asked as he pat Yuuki’s back lightly.

‘what happened Yuuki???’ Masao asked as he lean forward at Yuuki’s desk.

‘come on tell us…does it have something to do with Mitsuo?’ Taka asked curiously.

Yuuki lifted her head up and gave them a fake smile, ‘iie…some…something…just came…up and…sumimasen…’ Yuuki stood up from her desk and ran to the bathroom.

‘definietly Mitsuo’s fault…’ Eiji whispered.

‘we better look for Mitsuo…’ Kazuki proposed.

‘yah…but someone must take a look at Yuuki…’ Masao agreed.

‘I can do that…’ Hiroki said, ‘I’ll go take care of Yuuki…’ he added.

‘I’ll come with you…’ Eiji interrupted.

‘ok…Eiji…Hiroki...you guys take care of Yuuki and we’ll go look for Mitsuo…’ Taka ordered.

‘hai…’ Hiroki and Eiji nodded and followed Yuuki.

‘saa…iku yo…’ Taka asked Kazuki and Masao.

‘iku zo…’ Masao and Kazuki nodded.

And so Masao, Kazuki and Takayuki went to look for Mitsuo meanwhile at the bathroom, Eiji and Hiroki went to comfort Yuuki.

‘Yuuki-kun…’ Hiroki knocked at one of the stall where Yuuki was hiding.

‘leave me alone…’ Yuuki yelled and kept crying.

‘what’s wrong Yuuki-kun???tell us???please…’ Eiji begged.

‘nothing…just leave me alone…’ Yuuki yelled again.

‘we won’t leave you…until you tell us what’s happening to you…’ Hiroki said in a bit strong voice.

‘we’re worried about you…so please…come out there and tell us what happened…’ Eiji begged again.

‘we’re your friends ne…you can tell us anything…’ Hiroki added.

‘tomodatchi…’ Yuuki whispered to herself, ‘demo…haven’t I been harsh to you guys?why are you still like this to me?shouldn’t you be angry at me and leave me alone…or shouldn’t you be laughing at me?’ she asked in her thoughts.

‘please open up…’ Hiroki knocked again until the door slowly opened, ‘Yuuki-kun…’ Hiroki grabbed Yuuki’s wrist and gave her a hug, ‘we were so worried…what happened?’ Hiroki whispered as he hug her.

Yuuki was speechless, tears continued to fall from her eyes. She can’t believe what’s happening right now then suddenly Hiroki let go of her and gave her a sweet smile.

‘ne…tell us…what happened?’ Eiji gave her a smile as he patted her head softly.

‘minna…gomen…’ Yuuki whispered and continued to cry.

‘shhh…it’s ok Yuuki-kun…’ Hiroki hushed.

‘come…let’s go back to the classroom ok…’ Eiji said smiling.

‘hai…’ Yuuki nodded.

.+.~…~.+.

On the other hand, Masao, Takayuki and Kazuki got tired of looking for Mitsuo and went back to the classroom.

‘we can’t…find him…’ Masao said while panting.

‘we looked everywhere…but…we can’t find him…’ Taka said catching his breath.

‘where could he be?’ Hiroki asked himself.

‘have you…tried..the roof top?’ Yuuki asked.

‘roof top?’ Eiji asked curiously.

‘there…there’s a…roof top…here?’ Kazuki asked.

‘you didn’t know?’ Yuuki asked back.

‘iie…’ the 5 boys answered.

‘do you think Mitsuo’s there?’ Hiroki asked Yuuki.

‘hmmm…anno…maybe…’ she answered and looked away.

‘we’ll go see…’ Masao said and went to the roof top together with Taka and Kazuki.

‘how did you knew that there’s a roof top here?’ Eiji asked curiously.

‘well…ofcourse…this is my grandmother’s school so I know…and besides…I think all schools here in Japan has one…ne?’ Yuuki said nervously.

‘sou desu ne…’ Eiji nodded, ‘baka me…’ and laughed at himself.
