Episode 2: "By Chance"

Episode 2: “By Chance”

Scene 1: [The next day, Yuki was very busy searching for something she might have lost somewhere yesterday …something very important to her that it upsets her losing it. The only thing left by her mother since her childhood——a bracelet given to her as a present on her birthday…last birthday present maybe. She just can’t afford losing it. Immediately after arriving at their classroom, Yuki started looking for it each and every place she thinks she went and might have dropped it…under the chairs, along the hallway, at the canteen, in the CR, and out the field. She didn’t even ask for anybody’s help. Kyousuke didn’t even have the chance to talk to her. She won’t even look at him. But not to the point where she’s already too desperate that she finally asked for Shinichi’s help…]

[While eating their lunch at the canteen…]

Shinichi: “Sou ka…” [“I see”]

Yuki: [sulky] “……”

Shinichi: “Geez. You should have told me earlier, Yuki… You sure find a hard time looking for it alone by yourself.”

Yuki: [Puts chopsticks down on her lunch box.] “I should have found it already if I just noticed earlier. Besides I’ve always took care of it and I never thought of losing it in the first place…” [*pout*]

Shinichi: [sighs] “When is the last time you remember yourself still wearing it? Try to recall it...”

Yuki: “I’ve been trying to recall it since last night… But It’s seems like almost every places are just possible. I can’t barely recall exactly where …”

Shinichi: “No Yuki. Try to recall it again. Don’t get overwhelmed by your worries. You’ll surely find it. Besides your name is there so if ever someone or somebody finds it, they’ll definitely be able to find its owner. We’ll do something about it anyway, don’t worry…”

^_^ […starts munching his rice ball with a smile on his face.] “For now, itadakimasu!”

[Yuki felt a bit relieved…]

Yuki: “Itadakimasu…”

[They just started eating when suddenly… Shinichi noticed Miharu together with her other two friends Shizuka and Mizuki. They just came also to eat their lunch… Shinichi also noticed she’s looking around and he tries to keep himself unnoticed since he’s getting the feeling that she’s looking for him again.]

Shizuka: [just took her order] “I wonder if that guy’s (Kyousuke) here. You haven’t seen him around?” ♥,♥

Mizuki: [carrying her food tray] “Not a shadow…” =_=˘

Miharu: [looking around holding a lunch box ♥…she actually prepared something for Shinichi] “Where’s Shinichi? He’s probably around here somewhere…”

Shizuka: “Neh Miharu! Are you eating with us or what?” […finds a seat]

Miharu: “M-matte! (Wait) Ikimasu! (I’m coming)” [disappointed]

Shinichi: *sighs*…at least we’re not anymore in the same section. […referring to Miharu]

Scene 2: [On their way to their classroom… Yuki and Shinichi hear girls murmuring around about their new classmate again. Kyousuke’s popularity among girls really is something that even those from other sections do talk about him. His cheerfulness and friendliness in spite seem intimidating for the girls though. He treats everyone nicely however he gives that impression of not being interested. They just naturally get the hint of being rejected on the process…]

Girl 1 & Girl 2: [Pushes Girl 3] “Ganbare! Now is your chance! Hayaku! Hayaku!” [Ganbare—Go for it; Hayaku—Hurry up]

Girl 3: [*blushes*] >///<…

[Kyousuke on his way was suddenly hesitated…]

Kyousuke: [surprised] “Eh?”

Girl 3: [*perplexed*] O////O… “A-Anou… E-E-Etou…”

Kyousuke: “Nani?” (What is it?) [~smiles~]

Girl 3: [--melts--] ♥//////♥… “F-For you!” [Bows with arms extended offering a present.]

Kyousuke: “Sou ka… Sankyuu!” ^_^ [takes it]

Girl 3: “D-Doitashimashita!” (Welcome!) >//0//<… [-Runs away-]

[Kyousuke walked directly into the classroom …puts hands boringly under his pockets carrying the girl’s present under his arm. He enters the classroom and saw Yuki on her seat. He glanced at her…still Yuki doesn’t mind him. Kyousuke just went to his seat, rests his arms on the table and take another pure glance at her. He thinks Yuki is avoiding her on purpose but it seems she doesn’t have any significant reason to do so. Kyousuke however doubts it…]

Kyousuke: […leans his back to chair (hands in his pockets) while staring at their classmates] … *looks bored*

[Yuki on the other hand remained silent reading some of her notes… sensei still hasn’t arrived yet. By the way, Shinichi is seated at the next row two seats at the back from where Yuki is. Shinichi is currently busy talking with his seatmates while Yuki as usual rarely talks to her classmates except Shinichi. Her cold gaze and cynical aura really explains a lot…]

[Later sensei arrived then class discussion started… Yuki then put out her pen from her bag and accidentally dropped it on the floor beside Kyousuke. Yuki would pick it up in that instant when Kyousuke had gotten it for her. Yuki was confounded all of a sudden…]

Kyousuke: [Offers pen to Yuki…]

Yuki: [*discomfited*] … [takes it]

[Yuki turned ill at ease…her heart awkwardly pacing… She furtively took a slight glance at Kyousuke when… he was actually looking her way all those time before her. Yuki winced back seeing his face smiling at her ^_^ …]

Yuki ß---- *Shamefaced* ………

[After the dismissal, all students went home except Yuki who’s still looking for her lost bracelet. She promises not to go home not until they’ve found it. In the same way, Shinichi promises to go help her look for it but unfortunately, he has a meeting to attend to as a class officer…]

Shinichi: “I’ll be back right after this…” [-Leaves-]

[Yuki just can’t leave without Shinichi so she decided to wait for him while searching for the bracelet… Kyousuke on the other hand was still holding the bracelet with him. Just when does he plan returning it to Yuki? Maybe he’s just waiting for the right timing to come…]

Yuki: “Oboiteru!” [I remember]

[Yuki runs to the library… She didn’t notice he just passed Kyousuke before the stairs… He’s been there leaning beside the wall for no definite reason…]

Kyousuke: [stands upright…started walking his way to somewhere…]

[…but it seems it’s getting clearer now…the pieces of the puzzle are now starting to fall into places…]
