His Score (Mitsui Hisashi x OC)

Chapter 3: A Fight at The Rooftop

After Haruko's confirmation of her one sided love to the boy named Rukawa, Sakuragi went away as he felt the immense heartbreak of his one sided love as well. His friends teased but then later was saddened for Hanamichi's rejection and could only weep for their broken friend. Rei, however finally got the idea of Sakuragi's crush to Haruko, and she as well joined the weeping.

"Poor Sakuragi-kun, rejections are really harsh to the soft heart." Rei teared and sniffled as she felt the sadness around her. "I feel so sad for Hanamichi." Yohei added. "It was serious this time." Nozomi inclined.

After that, the students went on to their classes as the afternoon session was starting. Through the discussion, Rei could think of poor Sakuragi's heart and she wondered how he was doing right now. She could not blame her friend Haruko since it is not her fault for liking someone else, it is her decision after all, and Haruko was also oblivious of Sakuragi's feelings. Rei did not want to say anything about Sakuragi's feelings since it is not her place to do so.

After the class session ended, Haruko went to Rei and told her she was gonna look for Sakuragi. Rei invited herself with Haruko to find the red head student, "I wonder where Sakuragi-kun went, he just disappeared before." Haruko asked worriedly.

"He's probably doing stupid things with his friends again." Rei responded. Not long after, Rei noticed something familiar outside the window as they walked through the halls. "Hey, isn't that Sakuragi and the others?" She quickly pointed to the direction to the rooftop of the other building.

"You're right! R-Rukawa-kun?!" Haruko freaked out and quickly moved the glass window to get a better view. "What are Sakuragi-kun and Rukawa-kun doing?" Haruko asked nervously and in worry.

"Eh? That's Rukawa?" Rei squinted her eyes, trying to see his face better but had no luck. Suddenly, Sakuragi seemed to grip Rukawa's uniform collar and he seemed really pissed. This made Haruko and Rei worry, "S-Something's wrong, don't tell me..." Rei whispered to herself as her friend ran away.

Rei noticed immediately and followed to her as well, "Haruko-san!" Calling to her friend did not do anything, most of all, Rei was now worried that Sakuragi might beat Rukawa for revenge.

To the boys' situation, Sakuragi gripped Rukawa's collar as he began to speak angrily, "I'm 1st year Sakuragi Hanamichi!! Remember it well!!"

"Ah, already forgot it." Rukawa seemed to not care at all about his situation nor is he scared. This made Sakuragi even more pissed, "What did you say?!"

"Hey... Hey! Hanamichi, stop it already!!" Yohei yelled in concern but his other peers seemed to not care and found the scene entertaining. Luckily, Haruko and Rei made it into the rooftop and Haruko yelled to Sakuragi to stop whatever he was about to do.

This made Hanamichi loose his grip and lets go of Rukawa's uniform as he was surprised seeing Haruko with them. Rei got a good view to see who Rukawa was and now she kinda knew a little why Haruko had a crush on him, he was all in all good looking. But Haruko and Rei were now more worried as they saw Rukawa's bleeding head.

Seeing that, Haruko was now angry at Sakuragi "Everybody said that Sakuragi-kun was very bad and scary. But I thought you weren't that kind of person, and wouldn't do that sort of thing. Using violence to hurt people is horrible!! Specially when you hurt Rukawa-kun! I misjudged you!! Sakuragi-kun!!"

Sakuragi was visibly hurt by Haruko's words but his friends seemed to laugh from the situation. Rei was overall confused and wanted answers, "Oi, Yohei?! What's the meaning of this? You guys ganging up for revenge?! Huh?!" Rei was very angry based on her assumptions, she thought it was very low for them to go to.
