Episode #25 - A Painting's Worth a Thousand Words

Year 20xx

Day #32 – May 5/10th – Tuesday

Another day to use the train by getting to school for Keiko to be ready and studying really hard 'and Morgana in her school bag'. While waiting for her to stop, who else would bump into her but Makoto again to try to ask her about something. Again?

Morgana: Oh, no... Madame Keiko, here comes trouble.

Keiko: (Makoto?!) Morgana, I'll handle this.

And hopefully she does with this top student at her school.

Makoto: Well, if it isn't Keiko Amamiya herself. We met again.

Keiko: Hi, Makoto.

She sees Keiko was ready to study carefully.

Makoto: Likewise. It looks like you're attending school seriously. You also seem very close with both Sakamoto-San and Takamaki-San if all of you guys are coming to school together. You and Sakamoto-San seem to be very close, but you see him as a friend like Mishima-San is with you. They love you a lot, but you care for them as very dear friends of yours. And Takamaki-San...A good person as she is for the rumors to be true or not, you two seem to become best friends for her too and Sakamoto-San to hit it off better.

Keiko: Yes, well they are. I love them all as my friends. And... I already have a boyfriend. (Akechi-Cun...) We're just people who understand each other. Like Yuuki who also gets us, both he and Ryuji are just friends to me. Ryuji and Ann are great together in a strange love kind of way, its what love does to some people.

Makoto: I see, you're not one of those girls. Good...It would be bad for our school to have those ruining their lives for nothing. It's just you, Keiko, you transferred here though...I guess you three really click as friends.

Just as friends for Keiko, Ryuji, and Ann.

Keiko: It just happened, I guess. (This girl is too smart to talk out of, and yet she keeps on trying. Someone's making her do all of this to us. Is it one of the teachers...?)

Keiko might be on to something about Koba to have Makoto to be doing all of this for him.

Makoto: I see...You hate being alone to try making some friends, it would seem that you have. I heard both you and Takamaki-San were victims of Mr. Kamoshida, but was that all there was to it...? Either way, closer inspection should clear everything up...I just wanted to tell you, Keiko, and take care. Goodbye.

Off she goes and Keiko on to the train to get through today.

Keiko: Morgana, does Makoto hate me? Ryuji? Ann? Or just all of us?

Morgana: I don't think so, just someone to keep her head out of our business.

Keiko: Then I was right, she's being used by someone. Makoto's not a bad person. I can feel it...

Seems like it, and off to the train to school for Keiko to learn a lot more in Mr. Inui's class or in history class. Either way – Keiko was ready for the exams to do well, and she hopes for the other two friends to do the same thing; for Ryuji asks Keiko to help him train for track running again to do after school, besides the gym sometimes.

Ryuji: Man, we really don't have a good place to train, huh.... I mean, we'd prolly run into Nakaoka and them if we stuck around here...You got any ideas?

To practice running somewhere else instead of outside the spot that Ryuji does it at? Anything in mind...?

Keiko: How about...We can train at my place?
