-Opening up-
_____________________________
Thirty minutes early, wonder what to do. Yossi's surely not here yet, I'v been meaning to ask her about yesterday. 'Moved in' what did they mean by 'moved in'? Come to think of it, whenever I ask either one of them if I could hang out at their house Yossi just says no while Ishikawa always gives some lame excuse.Miki pondered over what Rika said about Yossi moving in, her thoughts was then disrupted when she heard a group of girls gossiping about the same topic.
"I heard Yoshizawa-san and Ishikawa-san are an item.."
"
Kyaa~ yada! Yoshizawa-san can't be with her!!"
"Their totally different, what can they possibly do together? Yossi is better off being with me then that Ishikawa Rika."
"I heard they even live together too!"
"
Uso?!"
Idiots... why can't they just mind their own business? What is she talking about 'Yossi is better off being with me?' Yossi will never be with that girl, just look at her, her face looks like a damn frog.Miki entered her classroom looking rather pissed off until she saw an unexpected person sitting on the seat that was normally supposed to be empty at this time. Stunned, Miki stood at the door for a few seconds.
"What are YOU doing here so early in the morning?"
"I took the train"
Yet another question not properly answered by Yossi, Miki nodded her head and walked past Yossi to her seat behind the girl.
'Maybe now should be the time to ask...'"Erm Yocchan? I've been meaning to ask you..."
"Yocchan... can we talk?" Miki was interupted by someone whispering from behind. Yossi didn't look up to see who was it, she had been anticipating this from the moment she stepped into class. Standing up from her seat, Yossi walked out of the classroom. Miki on the other hand, looked up to see who interupted her from asking the question that had been bugging her the whole night.
"Rika-chan? What are you doing here? Bad idea for a girl from A class to come here you know."
Miki stared at her friend who she had art class and played soccer with. Rika who snuck into their classroom, looked down at Miki and gave an apologetic smile then followed Yossi out of the class. After climbing up the stairs towards a corner where not many people were around, Yossi turned to face Rika and spoke first.
"What is it?"
"I erm... I really appreciate what you did but.."
"Forget about it... I already told Iida-sensei about it so you can't say no"
Leaving out the exact deatils about what she told her art teacher, Yossi walked away back into the classroom. While Miki who was nearby the staircase eves-dropping on their conversation, ran back into the classroom as fast as she could before Yossi could see her.
They must have been talking about yesterday's incident, wonder what Yocchan did. She'll never tell me even if I ask her. But I will find out...
Miki looked up at the girl sitting infront of her.

Rika walked up the stairs after the short talk with Yossi. She went up to the roof, she loved it there the breeze was cooling and she could sit quietly to relax and think without any interruptions, well most of the time.
Sitting on the bench at the corner, Rika leaned back and closes her eyes. While many things ran through her mind, a small smile appeared on her face.
'At least she's talking to me now'****
"Just a reminder! Next week is the test! Please do study for it..."
The last bell rang, it was the end of school and everyone was packing up and leaving while the teacher was battling with the noise.
Along the corridor Miki and Yossi walked side by side, though it's more like Miki was trying to keep up with Yossi. Many students would give way to the two, sometimes there would be a group of girls or guys watching them while drooling. The two were the most popular duo in school. Everybody loved the cool and calm Yoshizawa Hitomi while Miki, everyone just loved how cute she was.
"Yocchan wanna play futsal with us today?"
The question was asked yet again, it has become a routine to ask this question after school everyday. Miki knew the answer but something told her Yossi knows how to play and that she wants to play. But for some reason Yossi would always decline.
Yossi hesitated to answer to such a simple question. Honestly, she yearned to play with Miki but due to work and Rika-chan who was also playing together with them, Yossi would resist temptation and resort to playing alone or sometimes with Maki in a basketball court nearby her work place before she starts work.
"Ok, but I didn't bring any sports wear"
Stunned Miki stopped walking for a moment. "Really?"
"Yea sure, why not?" Said Yossi as she finally given into temptation.
"Really? really? really? You'll reeeeeeally play with us?" Miki said this while skipping to Yossi's side joyfully knowing that Yossi finally agreed.
"I swear if you say really one more time..."
"Re.... Seriously?" Miki looked at Yossi playfully waiting or her to get irritated, Miki just loved to irritate her classmate.
"Don't worry lucky for you I brought spare today so you can wear those and you can borrow Tsuji's shoes she always brings hers even when she has another pair left in her locker do you know how absent minded she is? But I wonder if the size fits, maybe it if it can't fi-"
"Oi... the shoes I'm wearing are fine so quit babbling."
****
"Nee Rika-chan... That was a huge crowd today huh? Yossi sure is real popular, I know there's always a crowd watching us play evertime because of Mikitty but... it never was THAT many right?"
"Un..."
"But you didn't play so well today, you seemed distracted somehow... I noticed that while waiting for the ball to come. Boy does Yossi play well huh? I never knew she was so skilled, wonder why she never joined our futsal club. Oh ya, I heard this rumor that you two are living together though. So is it true?"
Rika finished changing, walked out of the cubicle and neatly folder her dirty laundry into her bag. Tsuji was sitting patiently on the bench waiting for an answer, Rika patted her head and walked towards the mirror to fix her hair. She's been friends with Tsuji Nozomi ever since she joined the futsal club, she was like a younger sister who wouldn't stop asking questions.
Tsuji followed Rika with her puppy eyes still waiting for an answer.
"Why don't you ask Yocchan yourself?"
"
Yappari, its true? How come you never told me?"
"Non-chan I have to rush home, you gonna be ok going home alone?"
Tsuji nodded looking a little upset, Rika gave the younger a reasuring smile and took her bag giving the younger another light pat on the head before leaving the changing room.
