KAHOKO'S POV

***

"I'm so sorry for forgetting you Yui." He hugs me and I freeze.

What's going on?!!!!!!!

"Hino!" I look back and see a body dash towards me. The next thing I know I'm clinging behind the protective back of Tsuchiura-kun who is outstretching his arms to separate me and that boy infront of me.

"Tsuchiura-kun..." I whiser, apparently shock was still with me. Tsuchiura-kun however tenses and I look to where he is glaring at. The boy shakes his head and looks up with a mischievous grin on his face.

"I see...That was pretty swift of you. Let me guess, an athlete?" The boy kids but Tsuchiura-kun towers over the boy. 

"What are you trying to do Hino?" He snaps angrily. I hold my breath as I realize that I haven't heard Tsuchiura-kun speak so angrily at anyone. Frankly, I never thought that he'd be capable of reaching this level of anger. And I thought that he was already angry with Tsukimori-kun.

"Nothing special. I was just giving away free hugs. Want one too?" The boy teases but Tsuchiura-kun's grinding his teeth already. The boy, however, doesn't sense this as he playfully sidesteps Tsuchiura-kun and stands behind me. "So your name is Hino... You smell like her. I like you." He whispers in my ear.

Whaaaa~?!

"Stop that!" Tsuchirua-kun tries to cover me but to no avail. The boy dances around and soon, he pats my head and takes a few steps farther.

"You look more like a huge trapeez than a person." The insult hits Tsuchiura-kun hard and I'm beginning to be more scared of what the boy will look like after Tsuchiura-kun lays his hands on him. The boy smiles as he calmly walks away, but not before he sends a flying kiss and a wave.

"Yo Hino, let's talk some other time. And don't put on perfume! You smell great!" He calls out as he disappears into the hallway. For a minute, there is silence. Then -

"Are you alright Hino?" Tsuchiura-kun faces me, in a very worried tone.

"I..I am." I shake and smile but he hugs me.

Eh?!!!

"Thank goodness. I was worried sick." He pulls away and smiles. I look down and try to breath. What was wrong with today anyway? Suddenly, Tsuchiura-kun sinks to the floor and buries himself in his hands.

"Eh?! Tsuchiura-kun...?!" I begin but he looks at me. Into my eyes.

"Hino...why is it that when it comes to you, I can never hide anything?" He asks and I feel my heart skip a beat.

Eh?!

****

"...And don't go out unless you really have to okay? If you do, call me." Tsuchiura-kun secures my nod and then pats my head. "Honestly, you can be so..." He doesn't finish and leaves. I close my door and slide to the ground. Because of that mysterious guys, I couldn't go out of my room until they found out who the person was. I look around and find that Fuyuumi-chan left a note telling me that she was going to buy a few souvenirs for her mom. I lie on my bed and look outside the window.

"What maniac would do that?" Argued Hihara-senpai as he walks outside the room angrily. "If I were there then I would've -"
