All You Need Is Me. (Yaoi.)

Chapter Twelve.

Wednesday afternoon at one fifteen PM, the gym was filled with rowdy high schoolers. The cheerleaders were towards the side, going over the moves quickly before they preformed, the dance team was going over their routine, and the football team was outside of the gym, ready to enter when they were given their cue.

Lyric was sitting on the bleachers next to Haruka. They had tried to find the lesser crowded spot and they had found the lower corner. "I didn't think that you came to things like this!" Haruka had to yell over all of the shouting around them.

"I don't!" Lyric yelled back. "But Vance wanted me to come!" He said.

Haruka smirked. "Really?! How nice of you to come here just for him!" She said.

Lyric's face heated. "When will you stop teasing me about that?!"

"Hm, let me think! Not until you and Vance get together!" She giggled.

Lyric blushed. "Haruka!"

She only winked and blew him a kiss. "You love me!"

Lyric sighed. "I'm starting to question that!" He joked.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Silence!" The principal yelled over the shouting students. The gym quieted down. "All, right. Normally, I would give you all a speech about how much I care about the education and stuff that none of you listen to. But this year, I've decided to just skip that part. And let's get on with the pep rally!" He said, nodding as everyone cheered.

The cheerleaders got into their formation and began cheering while Lyric sighed and watched the door that Vance would come out of. He didn't know why Vance had wanted him here exactly. He thought that they might be...friends, possibly. He wasn't actually sure, because of everything that had happened yesterday.

As he brushed the thoughts away, the cheerleaders moved aside and the football players entered the gym. Everyone erupted into cheers and stood. Lyric and Haruka even stood, just so Vance would see them both.

Vance scanned the bleachers before seeing Lyric standing next to Haruka. He and Lyric locked eyes and Vance sent him a grin. Lyric blushed and waved slightly. Vance waved back, also adding a little finger gun gesture. Haruka smiled as she watched the two. It was as if they could understand each other. She envied that of them. She always wanted someone that she could be close to.

"If you will!" The principal quickly announced that the quarterback would give a brief speech.

Hyousuke Amaro walked over to the podium and started talking about football. Lyric zoned out and just watched Vance joke around with Gintoki. ~I wonder if Vance likes me. He sure acts like it. But he confuses me sometimes.~

"...and we're going to win!" Hyousuke finished. The gym erupted into cheers again and the dance team took over, starting their routine. And Lyric lost interest. The rest of the pep rally would consist of cheers and dancing and he sighed, standing.

"Want to head outside with me?" Lyric asked Haruka.

Haruka nodded. "Sure! But I need to use the restroom really quick." She smiled and hopped down from the bleachers, heading into the hallway. She walked into the girls' bathroom and bumped into someone. "Sorry!" Haruka apologized, looking up to see that it was Aria. "Oh... It's you."

"Oh, Haruka," Aria glared. "Watch it."

Haruka glared back. "Maybe you should watch it."

"Excuse me?" Aria crossed her arms, "I don't think you have the right to tell me what to do!"

"And you didn't have the right to tell Lyric what to do, but you did it anyway, didn't you?" Haruka sneered.

Aria growled. "Why does everyone seem to care about that stupid little freak so much?"
