At the roof top in school, Minoru was talking with one of his friends, Leon about what goals he wants to have for his classes.
Minoru: I always study as hard as I can. I even attend all classes and I never been absent at least or get tardy.
Leon: That’s great. I hope you manage to get along well with your teachers.
Minoru: I do, at least a few of them. I hope I get less strict teachers in the future. That’s one of my goals. I tried my best to not get into trouble.
Leon: I’m sure you won’t.
At the gate entrance, Yuki is there, eavesdropping the conversation to know him a little more.
Yuki: I’m glad you have goals. I am sure that you will get better teachers in the future so others won’t laugh at you that often. Maybe I can help one day.
She feels happy and went downstairs. Later when school os over, Minoru walks in the hallway, depressed.
Minoru: I don’t know why my teacher keeps yelling at me. I try not to question her, but she was so rough that I want to ask why she keeps doing this. Maybe some day, I would get different teachers to not be humiliated as much.
He went to the main entrance and saw Yuki jumping around the hoops in the ground, rapidly. He decides to watch with the crowds and Yuki throws the hoops in the air and jumps high and grabs them.
The crowds are cheering for her and Minoru is surprised to see her performance. He is blushing.
Minoru: Wow. She’s so awesome. Yuki is always an interesting girl.
Yuki is proud of herself and waves to her fans.
Yuki: Thanks for watching! I better get home so I hope you all have a good weekend.
Minoru became happier that he sees her perform at the entrance.
Minoru: (mind) My day wasn’t as good, but thanks for showing up at the end of school.
The crowds started to dissolve and Yuki and her friends are at the sidewalk near the gate outside of school property.
Rin: I have to go home to start helping my family.
Retasu: And I am going to the shop.
Yuki: All right. You two have fun!
They left, and Yuki stays on the sidewalk by the gate, and she sees Minoru coming out and walk to the different direction.
Yuki: (mind) I remember when I helped you get your textbook from the ground. It was a good moment. I do want to get to know you.
Yuki decided to go back home and writes about Minoru.
Yuki: Okay, Minoru is this cute guy in my school that needs help from getting humiliated by teachers and I don’t want him in any danger. I see him walk in the hallway and sometimes lunch time.
Few days later, Ron was at the gym and talks to Aki and Ren about the rumor that involves Yuki and him.
Ron: Lately, I been hearing about this gossip about me and Yuki being together.
Ren: I don’t know how it spread around.
Aki: It could be her. I assume she wanted to ask you out, but she want to spread rumors first. We know how she is.
Ron: I don’t think she is the one who spread it. You two have certain problems with her in the past, but please forgive her. I want to go out with her.
Ren: We do, and we will forgive any girl that you are in love with as long as she accept it.
Aki: And I know how much you like her.
Ron: Thanks, ladies. By the way, I have school activity after school, and I have Yuki there.
Aki: Cool.
In the morning class, Yuki is drawing Minoru with different hair style so others wouldn’t know she’s drawing him.
Yuki: (mind) I want to picture him. I hope I draw good enough.
Rin and Retasu came and saw her drawing.
Rin: Hey Yuki, what are you drawing?
Yuki: Uh, I was just bored so…
Retasu: Can you show it to us?
Yuki: Here.
Rin sees it and got a little comfused.
Rin: Yuki. How come Ron looks more slender and slim?
Yuki: Ahh! It’s not Ron. I’m trying to draw a video game character.
Rin: Yeah…… Retasu, who do you think this is?
Retasu: The hair is Ron’s.
Rin: See. I knew you have a thing for him.
Yuki: I don’t. I’m not good at handwriting, remember? You seen my handwriting before.
Retasu: I know, but drawing is different. I’m not saying it’s him, but the hair… Well, maybe you can practice drawing the character you are trying to draw.
Yuki: Yeah.
Rin: Ohh, I see. I apologize.
Yuki: It’s fine, Rin.
Retasu: Speaking of Ron, we been hearing about this same kind of rumor for the past week.
Yuki: I heard it too. I have nothing in common with Ron.
Rin: Well, you both are athletic and popular.
Yuki: I know, but I don’t feel like he’s my type. I just don’t want to be in this subject.
Retasu: I hope you can get over it.
Rin: But what are you gonna do about the rumor?
Yuki: I will tell them that Ron is just my competitor.
Later in the afternoon, Yuki went to her gym class and heard people discussing about the rumor between her and Ron. She also sees Ron coming to her.
Ron: Hey Yuki, do you know how this rumor got started?
Yuki: No I don’t. I never started this.
Ron: Me neither. Although, we both have the school board activity after school so, we will see each other.
Yuki: Well, the school give me a different kind of job today. I am working in the cooking area, throwing out garbage.
Ron: I see. Well, I didn’t start the rumors, but I want to actually ask you out and hang together.
Yuki: I appreciate that you want to, but I am not ready for a relationship yet. I have a lot of going on in my life right now. I’m just not ready, and I hope you can understand that. Please don’t feel bad.
Ron: I see. It’s fine, but at least we both have gym class and school board together, except today’s school service.
Yuki: Yeah. I better go to my locker room right now.
Ron: See you outside.
Yuki left the gym and Aki and Ren came in and talked to Ron.
Aki: So how was you and Yuki?
Ron: She said she is not ready for a relationship yet. She has big impact on her life right now.
Ren: Hmm. I honestly think she should go out with you.
Aki: She’s probably playing hard to get.
Ron: Well, she just want to deal with her life right now.
At the end of school, Ron is at the office, working on the school board, while Yuki is outside at the school field, grabbing a bag of bad fruits with a baseball bat, a mat, and a wood box. Rin, Retasu, and Ryo came and talked to Yuki.
Ryo: Hey Yuki, we decide to see you.
Retasu: So, what are you doing?
Yuki: They only offered me to throw the bad fruits away and that’s it, but I decide to smash them for fun.
Retasu: Sounds like you have an addiction of smashing fruits.
Yuki: I do when I am offered like this. Smashing fruits is fun!
Rin: But before you start smashing, we want to ask you how was you and Ron in class today?
Yuki: I never had a crush on him, and I told him that I am not ready for a relationship yet.
Ryo: What did he respond?
Yuki: He just said it’s fine.
Rin: But why do I see you blush a few times and draw someone that looks like him?
Yuki: It’s not him, okay. But (looks around) since no one is around and Ron is at the third floor at the sub office, maybe it’s a good time for honesty.
Ryo: What honesty?
She grabs a melon and puts it in the top of the box and smash it with a baseball bat on one hit.
Yuki: I really don’t have a crush on Ron at all. He’s just my acquaintance.
Rin: Okay?
Yuki: But, I am in love with someone else.
Retasu: Who is it?
Yuki: It’s Minoru Tamara.
Rin: Really? From my study hall?
Yuki: Yeah, he’s so cute.
Retasu: Why didn’t you tell us in the first place?
Yuki: You see, since I am popular and that the rumor between me and Ron has been growing for a while, and the fact that Minoru gets humiliated by teachers and kids laughing at him, it will be awkward if I approach to him in public and how others will react.
Ryo: I see.
Yuki: And if they know I have a crush on him, they will think we both killed the shipping between me and Ron and it will ruin both of our reputation, which will hurt me, and they may even pick on Minoru more.
Retasu: That sounds complicated.
Yuki grabs an orange and smashes it in one hit.
Yuki: Tell me about it. I don’t think Ron is my type. I feel like there’s something hidden in him. I am afraid of how he will react to both of us if he knows. Plus, Ron has a crush on me. He admitted.
Ryo: So, what you are telling me is you are afraid if they will attack Minoru if they know about this?
Yuki: Pretty much. I don’t want to put him in danger. I know how hard he has go through.
Rin: Yeah, I can tell. My study hall teacher sometimes yells at him for small mistakes. She’s very strict.
Yuki: I feel sad for him. Although, he’s cute and I like his voice.
Retasu: Sounds like you been thinking about him all day and week. But again, why didn’t you admit this to us even sooner?
Yuki: I thought you both only supported me if I go out with Ron, and I didn’t want to ruin it. Rin, you been doubting me that I don’t have a crush on Ron.
Ryo: We are actually happy of whoever you have a crush on.
Rin: I am sorry that I’ve been doubtful. However, I will always be your support of any guy you are in love with, even Minoru.
Yuki: Thanks guys.
She smashed an apple with a baseball bat.
Rin: So, how are you gonna approach him?
Yuki: I don’t know. He’s somewhat poor and I don’t want to have both of our reputations demolish.
Ryo: But you gonna have to think of way to handle this yourself.
Yuki: I know, but all I can do is look at him without anyone else noticing.
Rin: At least I have a class with him. I can watch him for you if you want.
Yuki: Thanks. You guys are actually supportive.
Retasu: So did you had any contact with him?
Yuki: Well, I handed him the book from the floor when he dropped it, and that was before I really got into him. I sometimes see him walk in the hallway and we saw him in lunch time before.
Ryo: That’s true. So, I hope one day, you get together with him.
Yuki: I will eventually.
She grabs a watermelon and puts it to the box.
Retasu: Smashing a watermelon. Interesting.
Yuki: Oh yeah, I love smashing watermelons since I was a kid.
She smashes the watermelon with a baseball bat in one hit and it broke into few pieces.
Rin: So, are these expired?
Yuki: Pretty much, but when you smash them, it’s pretty fun.
Retasu: Maybe you can have a fruit smash contest one day.
Yuki: Yeah, and I will probably win.
A week later, Yuki and Retasu are walking in the hallway when their class ended.
Retasu: So did you get to know more about him?
Yuki: Not directly, but I heard that he likes some of the same video game I am interested in, and he loves manga too.
Retasu: I see. He’s more of your type. You both share more interests, right?
Yuki: Probably, aside of athleticism. I heard him talking to one of his friends during lunch time. I was at the vending machine, getting my drink, and I was eavesdropping. He has a cute voice.
Retasu: Hehe. I think you should at least know how to approach to him in the right time.
Yuki: I would, but I don’t make it look obvious that I am eavesdropping. I just want to know him.
Retasu: I see, but you gotta figure about this on your own.
Yuki: You’re right. I’m going to see Rin because she just finished her study hall with Minoru, and I want to see him pack and walk in the hallway.
Retasu: You really sure want to see him.
Yuki: Yeah, but not directly for now.
She walks by the classroom door, and they hear Minoru crying.
Yuki: Is that him?
Retasu: Let’s check.
The study hall and also his permant teacher is yelling at him because he accidentally shoved his books down to the floor.
Teacher: YOU WERE DISTRACTING IN THE CLASS BY MAKING NOISES WITH YOUR BOOKS!
Minoru: It was an accident! (cries)
Teacher: AND YOU DO NOT TALK THAT WAY TO YOUR TEACHER!
Minoru: DON’T SEND ME TO THE OFFICE! PLEASE DON’T SEND ME THERE! (cries)
Yuki saw it, which got her distracted.
Retasu: Yuki?
Yuki: I…I…No…
Teacher: I GIVED YOU THE LAST CHANCE AND NOW I AM TAKING YOU TO THE OFFICE AND GIVE A PHONE CALL TO YOUR PARENTS!
Minoru: NOO! NOO! PLEASE DON’T SEND ME THERE! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! (sobs)
Teacher: PACK YOU THINGS! YOU WILL BE THERE UNTIL THEY PICK YOU UP!
Minoru: NOO! PLEASE DON’T! I WANT TO GO HOME AND SCHOOL HAS ENDED! WHY ARE YOU BEING SO HARD ON ME?
Teacher: TOO BAD! YOU CAUSED IT! YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS BEING HARD ON ME!
Rin came out and saw Yuki and Retasu.
Rin: You two, this might not be the good place to discuss about this, let’s go to the roof top.
They went to the roof and talked.
Rin: He got in trouble because he thought there was a spider on the desk next to him, and he got scared and accidentally slid his books to the ground and the teacher got extremely mad with him.
Yuki: Really? This is terrible.
Rin: And she said that was his last chance and didn’t want to deal with his mistakes anymore. Also, the classmates laughs at him.
Yuki: This is making it difficult to me to talk to him in public because teachers embarrasses him a lot! I feel sorry for this guy. I never felt like this before!
Retasu: I can see why it’s hard for you. Like I said, you gonna have to directly talk to him some day.
Rin: And maybe you can help him.
Yuki: I would, but it will affect our reputation! I didn’t mean to have something like this! I always felt like I want to protect him!
Retasu: Well, at least you truly love him.
Yuki: I do. It’s hard for me to watch him get in trouble! I can’t imagine what will his parents do and how freaked out he is! I don’t want him to cry!
Rin: I feel bad for him too, but there’s nothing we can do for now.
Yuki: Ughhhh! This is complicated! Let’s go check at the office’s window.
Retasu: Well, he’s gonna be there.
Yuki: I just want to check on him.
A while later, Yuki is by the office at the first floor with Rin and Retasu and looks at the window and sees Minoru sitting down, crying.
Yuki: I wish I can do something to help him, but it’s not the time, unfortunately.
Rin: You can think of something. I know your life is complicated. Love, popularity, rumors, and reputation.
Yuki: All those things are complicated for me. I even lied to Ron that I am not ready for a relationship. I am, but I have to find the right time.
Retasu: Don’t worry. I believe you will think of something. Just follow your heart. Since school’s over, maybe we can go to the otaku plaza to cheer you up. I know you love those things so much.
Yuki: Yeah, there’s nothing I can do right now. We should go. Maybe I can cheer up over there.
Yuki and her friends starts leaving. Minoru turns around and he sees Yuki walking from the distance. He kinda smiled a bit.
Minoru: (mind) At least I can see Yuki walking. I love her. (sobs) Yuki, I love you. I am shy, ok. A guy who gets in trouble by teachers, (sobs) I am kinda shy because I am afraid you don’t want to have someone like me. Half the people here laugh at me and I am afraid of what they will think if I talk to you directly. I know you are kind but some teachers are ruining my reputation. If I was brave enough like you, I know you would help me stay away from trouble. You seem to have a lot of good times here, unlike me.
He imagines himself if he ever talks to Yuki.
Minoru: I hope someday, I can feel better by talking to her one day. At least she’s happy with her friends.
At night on the same day, Yuki is laying on her bed, thinking about what happened to Minoru.
Yuki: I can’t believe I saw how that teacher treated him. I can’t believe someone would be that strict. I really wanna help him out to stay out from them. He’s really scared and I can’t believe he’s going through this more often.
She cries on her pillow.
Yuki: Why did I let that happen? I can’t imagine how his parents would deal with him today. (sobs) I’m sorry, Minoru. I should’ve offer you a help sooner and I do want to.
In the next few weeks, it’s the beginning of June and they finished their second last test, and Rin came to Minoru’s classroom as it ended and she then notices him at the teacher’s desk, talking to the sub.
Substitute: Minoru, you have passed your test. In fact, you passed all the test in this school year. You are doing a good job.
Minoru: I always keep track of my classes. You are a cool teacher.
Substitute: Well, thanks. You did a really great job.
He handed the test to Minoru and he smiled. As he was just about to leave, Rin later on the wall next to the door, and as he gets closer, Rin randomly comments to him.
Rin: Good luck, kid.
Minoru: Hey, thanks.
He left the classroom. Rin smiled and she runs and tries to find Yuki.
Yuki is walking in the hallway and sees Rin ran to her.
Rin: Yuki! You won’t believe what just happen to his class.
Yuki: Okay. Tell me.
Rin explains to Yuki about something good to Minoru from his substitute teacher.
Rin:…And then I randomly said good luck and he said thanks, then left the classroom.
Yuki: That sub must be nice, and that’s what I heard. By the way, next time, make sure I am there.
Rin: But remember you said that you don’t want them to see you interact with him?
Yuki: Oh, right. Just to protect him, I guess.
Retasu: I’m sure you will think of something. You have plenty of time going to the same school with him.
Yuki: That’s true though. Well, I am gonna hit the cafeteria.
Rin: Okay. We’ll be there once me and Retasu find the textbook for our final exams.
Yuki: All right.
Rin and Retasu are heading to the conversation room, and inside. Ron and his two other friends are there.
Ron has a list of nine people in his paper to bully and he cross out two of them.
Ron: So far, we picked on two people from this school.
Guy1: So who’s next?
Ron: The next dork will be Minoru. The guy who keeps getting mischief in his class.
Guy2: Oh yeah. He’s such a loser.
Rin and Retasu sees the door very slightly opened and they became suspicious since they see them laughing inappropriately.
Rin: (silence) Retasu, look what these guys are doing. They are laughing at something.
Retasu: (silence) The best thing to do is listen. This is looking suspicious.
Ron: So our next guy to pick on is Minoru Tamara. The loser in the school is humiliated by teachers all the time and does some weird stuff in the hallways.
Guy2: Also the rest of these dorks in that list will learn their lesson.
Rin and Retasu came in and point at Ron.
Rin: Ron! Are you picking on someone?
Ron: Why did you two pop up in here?!
Guy1: It’s none of your business!
Rin: I wanna know what’s going on! Who are you picking on?!
Retasu: Yeah!
Ron: Ladies, please move on somewhere else. We are busy with our meeting.
Retasu picks up the list and reads it.
Retasu: List of losers to pick on. Kenta, Mikaru, Oka, Minoru! How dishonest!
Rin: Yeah! You are popular just like Yuki and you are doing this behind our backs?!
Retasu: That’s gonna ruin your reputation if everyone knows!
Girl1: Please go back to your class!
Ron: Look, you don’t have to tell Yuki about this.
Rin: Oh, yes we can! Maybe that’s why she didn’t think you’re a good person.
Ron: What are you two saying? Yuki didn’t say that. All she said that she’s not ready for a relationship.
Retasu: This isn’t about relationship! I can’t believe you were hiding about this and harass others who are smaller than you!
Guy1: Girls! Please get out!
Rin: I can’t believe you are doing this!
Ron: Fine! I’ll stop! Now get out of here!
Rin: We’ll tell Yuki anyway!
Retasu crumbles the paper to a ball and holds it.
Ron: Go ahead!
They both left and ran to Yuki and got her to the roof.
Rin: Yuki! We found something terrible about Ron!
Yuki: What is it?
They both explain what happened to the conference room with Ron and his two other buddies. They mostly explained about them planning to bully Minoru and few others.
Yuki: I can’t believe this! I knew he has something dark inside! I can tell!
Retasu: And I even took their list.
She gives the list to Yuki.
Yuki: Losers to bully. Minoru is on the list! I feel bad for him. Aww, poor Minoru! At least you two stopped him.
Rin: Well, we had to.
Yuki: Thanks for founding out about this.
Retasu: No wonder why you keep rejecting Ron.
Yuki: Calling him names gets on my nerves! It bothers me more than how it bothers Minoru! I can’t stand people like this!
Rin: At least we didn’t blow your cover at all. They don’t even know about your love.
Yuki: You guys played that very well. Though, you both told him that you were gonna tell me. Looks like I’m gonna have to talk to him in the safe way.
Rin: I think you should be more calm and tell him that it will hurt his reputation for doing that.
Yuki: That’s what I plan to do. I can’t believe he was hiding something like that!
Retasu: Yeah.
Later after school at the gym, Yuki sees Ron and came up to him.
Ron: Yuki? Umm, did your friends tell you about something?
Yuki: Well, yes they did. I am kinda disappointed. Look Ron, I don’t believe you should pick on anyone at all. It will hurt your popularity if you are exposed as a bully in our school.
Ron: Yeah, your pals taught us a lesson.
Yuki: And also, I don’t want to have someone who is secretly picking on others. It embarrasses the both of us since some of our fans are still shipping between us.
Ron: I see. They are just rumors and you seem to be fine by denying it.
Yuki: That’s because I am not ready for a relationship. I got a lot of things to take care of, remember?
Ron: Oh yeah, you mention that.
Yuki: I got other things to worry about and I don’t want to be with anyone who secretly picks on people. You disappoint me. I am a kind person to anybody in this school and I don’t like bullies, understand?!
Ron: All right. I’ll make sure I stay out of trouble.
Yuki: Good. I better get home.
As she was about to leave, Ron called her.
Ron: Yuki! Despite the rumor between us, if you are finally ready for a relationship, you are always welcome to be with me if you want.
Yuki: Didn’t we just talked about this just now?
Ron sees Yuki a little frustrated and decides to leave her.
She left the gym and walks in the hallway. While she walks, she talks to herself.
Yuki: I will never be your girlfriend, Ron! You don’t understand! I knew you were gonna pick on Minoru, and that’s what makes it harder for me to confess my love to him just to protect that guy from you. You better change that habit and hopefully I won’t have to worry about it.

Next Chapter: Summer Party
It’s almost the last day of school for their freshmen year. Both Yuki and Minoru tries to plan to meet each other before the school ends. There’s a party in school that invites everybody in the gym. Minoru Tamara tries to be more brave to his feelings towards Yuki and Yuki wants to meet Minoru somewhere in school and wants to go for it. How will they meet each other before school ends right before summer? Tune in next time!

Originally written - March 28, 2016

A year ago at spring, Yuki and all her friends started 10th grade at beginning of April. Yuki got up and she packs up for school, and starts running to school.
Yuki: (mind) My name is Yuki Koriyama. I am almost 15 years old and I will be starting 10th grade today. My goal is to make this school year my best. Due to the fact that I am athletic and get along well with others, I am usually popular in my school. I am 5'10 inch tall and I weigh around 130 pounds with no shame. My school has been great so far in the last year, and I can’t wait to go back today. However, I am not a fan of history. Ugh.
Yuki is the main character of the fictional story. She has a very nice personality. Yuki’s hair is near medium brunette. She is also tomboyish, headstrong, and very brave. Yuki also has interest in anime, movies, and video games, and she is easy to talk to due to her interest. She shows to help people and shows mannerism towards her peers. She loves Physical Education, Pomegranate, and friendly classmates. Her dislikes are History, Onions, and jerks. Yuki tends to defend herself well against jerks as well as defending her pals.
She shows up to the front of the school and sees Rin and Retasu, and her fans.
Yuki: Hey guys!
Rin: Yuki! I am surprised that you are attending tennis later.
Retasu: And the whole school is waiting to see you play.
Yuki: I always like to participate any activities during my gym class.
Retasu: It’s good. We always look forward to your sports events.
Rin: Yeah, and you have impressed everyone to show them who you are.
Yuki: Ever since I first came here.
Rin: Such great memories.
Rin Rosada is one of Yuki’s best friends. She met her since junior high school. Rin has red hair with two pig tails going down to the end of her back. She is 5'4 inch tall and also pretty boy crazed and romantic. Rin can be snarky to Yuki and Retasu on some situations, but she seems to support them very well. She mostly has good grades, but gym isn’t her thing. However, she shows support of Yuki being the best a gym class. Rin’s favorite anime and video game is the Pretty Rhythm franchise. She is more of a girly girl compared to Yuki.
Retasu Mitsuki is another best friend of Yuki. Like Rin, she met Yuki in the same junior high school. Retasu has long black hair. She is also 5'5 inch and she usually studies very well. Retasu is very smart on her choices and also supports her friends very often. She also stands on Yuki’s side and likes to solve any problems. She is decent in Gym and Chemistry class but hard on History. Her favorite anime genre is usually magical girl and role playing on video games.
Yuki goes inside the building and she is surrounded by her fans and they walk with her.
Meanwhile, Minoru walks in the hallway and looks at the bulletin board.
Minoru: (mind) I am Minoru Tamara and I live in Sapporo. I am starting 10th grade and I want to at least do something good today. I am a smart and sensitive person and I usually get good grades in school. I want to get to know people more this year. Also, I hope I don’t have that much strict teachers this year so I wouldn’t get laugh at as much,
Minoru is a slender guy and a bit geeky. Minoru is 5'2 inch, has short dark brown hair, and he is smart on his education. He is sensitive towards others and likes to help them in some way. He never went below a B-, but since he has problems handling with strict teachers, they usually yell at him for his mistakes towards his odd behavior, causes some people to laugh at him. Like Yuki, he has the same interest like video games and animations, but he specifically wants to study about animations. Minoru likes to give good advice to people, showing that he likes to help people with their personal problems. His favorites are Math, Blueberry, and nice people. His dislikes are Chemistry, peas, and strict teachers.
Minoru: Let’s see. I know I got the same teacher. I got study hall.
His friend, Leon came up to Minoru and talked to him.
Leon: Had you heard about Yuki playing tennis this morning?
Minoru: I heard about it. She has gym class on some mornings, and made a few records.
Leon: Had you seen her play before in person?
Minoru: I haven’t seen her play before because I got some homework.
Leon: You should! Many people know her already, and you are being left out.
Minoru: Well, I suppose. I’ll consider it.
Later, Yuki went to her gym class outside and she is prepared for tennis.
Yuki: Hey guys! Want to see me play?
Her fans cheered for her and chants her name. In Minoru’s class, the teacher was yelling at Minoru.
Teacher: Minoru! I thought you were done with your homework.
Minoru: I’m trying to ask for help.
Teacher: But you already know most of these questions based on the test I graded.
Minoru: You never helped me, and I tried to ask.
Teacher: Please sit down! I don’t have time to answer your questions.
Minoru sits at his seat and thinks about his unfinished homework.
Few minutes later, the teacher left the classroom to get more classwork and some of Minoru’s classmates are at the window, trying to see Yuki play tennis.
Girl1: Yuki is starting!
Guy2: She’s ready.
Minoru: Oh yeah. I better see how she plays.
He decided to look at the window. Yuki plays tennis hardcore. She jumps and hits the ball rapidly and she is competing with Ron’s team.
Minoru: She’s good.
He sees Yuki passing the ball and passes her opponents in one hit. The fans in Minoru’s class was surprised of how she’s a pro at it.
Minoru: (mind) I don’t think most of her opponents could match against her.
His clasmates went by the window, blocking Minoru’s view.
Minoru: You are blocking the view.
Guy: Go back doing your homework. The teacher said so!
Minoru tries to go to another window, and he found one eventually and Yuki was just finished doing her match.
Minoru: I didn’t see the last thing. At least I saw some of it.
Yuki was waving around, pleasing her fan’s respect.
Yuki: I’m glad I got the chance to win.
Fan: You are the best.
Yuki: And I teach my teammates how to play so they can become good at tennis like me.
Ron comes to Yuki.
Ron: That was a very good game.
Yuki: Yeah. It was worth playing.
Ron: I see. We should hang out sometime.
Yuki: Thanks, but I got homework to do.
Ron: That’s fine.
Yuki: Well, I got to go practice.
Ron: Okay.
She ran and Ron’s friends, Aki and Ren, came by to him.
Aki: So how was your game?
Ron: It was good. I like playing with Yuki.
Ren: Did you ask her out yet?
Ron: She is busy with homework, but I should try asking her out sometime.
Aki: I see.
Ron: I know you two had problems with her in the past, but…
Ren: I know. She did fight me before in junior high and she never trusted me.
Aki: And she blames on me because her brother, Ryo dumped me months ago.
Ren: But as long as you are happy with Yuki, we will accept your relationship with her.
Ron: That’s good.
Few days later, Minoru was at the cafeteria and he was reading the school’s newspaper.
Minoru: Yuki is in the newspaper page. She blown certain records in the school and she is the top female athlete in the school. Ron also blown a few records in school as a male athlete.
He sees Yuki at the table around her fans.
Minoru: There is Yuki. She’s having fun with her friends and she is most popular girl in school to this date.
He writes what he says in the newspaper under Yuki’s list.
Yuki talks to them about video games.
Yuki: I usually play Pokemon games on handheld, and I also play Project Diva and I mostly unlock PVs.
Retasu: Cool. What is your favorite Final Fantasy games?
Yuki: I love the sixth and seventh one.
Guy: So you play older games too?
Yuki: Yep. Both old and new. I even go to the game room and play some arcade sometimes.
Minoru heard the conversation. He continues writing on his newspaper.
Minoru: Wow. She is also a hardcore gamer too.
Two week later, Minoru was walking while holding his book. He’s thinking about Yuki.
Minoru: (mind) I’m looking forward to check out Yuki at least. I don’t want to be a leftover unlike most people here. I should see her play a bit more. Although, I do want to be friends with her. She’s probably a good type of friend I could have. I can see why she’s so popular.
He walks and he accidentally bumped to someone.
Guy: Watch it! You better see where you’re going.
Minoru: I’m sorry.
Guy: Whatever.
He goes away and Minoru got up and he sees his book on the ground.
Minoru: Maybe I should be more careful.
He tries to get his book, but he sees someone took it. It turns out to be Yuki and Minoru looks at her while blushing a little.
Minoru:…
Yuki: I believe this is yours.
Minoru looks between his book and Yuki, leaving him speechless.
Minoru:…
Yuki: Well, good luck.
She smiles, and runs to her class. Minoru looks at her and he blushes., but he isn’t aware that he has a crush on her.
Minoru: I feel strange. I don’t know how I feel, but my heart is beeping very fast, and it’s making me nervous to speak to her. I don’t know what this is. I never seen her looked at me before.
He went to his study hall, where Rin Rosada also attends there. During class, he tries to read the textbook where the teacher was going over it in class. Minoru still blushes and thinks about Yuki.
Minoru: (mind) Yuki handed me this textbook to me. I can’t believe she talked to me.
He tries to study, but he couldn’t stop thinking about his crush on Yuki and still doesn’t realize that he does.
Minoru: (mind) What is with me? I’m feeling weird about her I can’t stop thinking about her. I like how Yuki talks to me. What is this feeling?
Teacher sees him blushing and goes up to him.
Teacher: Minoru! What are you doing?
Minoru: Ah! I’m trying to read.
Teacher: No you’re not! You are blushing on the textbook. Don’t tell me you are in love with that book!
The class laughs at him besides Rin.
Guy: Wait? He’s in love with a math book?
Girl: Seriously? What does he love about the book?
Teacher: Class, calm down! Minoru, I will have to send you to the counselor. I don’t want to have you here for the rest of the day for this situation.
Minoru: I was just having a certain someone I’m trying to think.
Teacher: Then you can explain that to your counselor. I don’t help personal problems of any student.
He leaves the class, and Rin was just watching him leave.
Rin: What teacher would says these things out loud, and who talks that way to their own student?
Minoru goes to the office and talk to his counselor.
Counselor: Minoru, I just got a letter from your teacher that says you were blushing on an inanimate object like your textbook.
Minoru: I wasn’t. I couldn’t stop thinking about someone else.
Counselor: Thinking about someone is not the right time during classwork.
Minoru: It’s just that this popular girl hand me the same textbook I drop earlier and I feel like I really want to know her in person. I couldn’t stop thinking about her recently.
Counselor: I see. You don’t know what that means, right?
Minoru: I don’t, but I’m trying to figure this out. I never felt like this before.
Counselor: That’s easy. You are in love with that girl.
Minoru: I…I…What?
Counselor: That feeling you just have means you have a crush on her. You think about her, you beet red, and you want to know her instantly. It means you have a crush on her.
Minoru: Re-re-really?
Counselor: It’s easy to tell. It’s usually normal, but don’t embarrass yourself during class.
Minoru: It was a mistake, but the teacher just yells at me in front of the class without giving me any chance.
Counselor: I understand. What do you like about that girl?
Minoru: Well, I umm. She’s popular, and I-I umm…I know she loves doing sports and umm games. I thought she is umm nice.
Counselor: Sweet. You get back to class and I’ll tell your teacher to let you in. Also, think about what do you want to do with that special girl.
Minoru: Umm, all right.
After class, Minoru went to the first floor at the main hallway and saw Yuki with her friends.
Yuki: I plan to go try out some sports activities after school sometime. I will try baseball later this week.
She walks with her friends and fans of hers. Minoru was happy to see her.
Minoru: Wow! She is so popular!
Two of his classmates came up to him just to laugh at him.
Guy: Hey Minoru, having fun with your textbook?
Girl: I don’t think there is a page that tells you to fall in love with it.
They laugh at him and leave him.
Minoru: I really need to avoid getting caught by a teacher. This will be hard though. I don’t want Yuki to see me like this.
Few weeks later, Minoru went by the door to the cafeteria. He listens to Yuki talking in the hallway and he was happy to hear that she has a good time hanging with her friends. He went to the cafeteria and sits on the table.
Yuki sits down to a different table and she also brings Rin, Retasu, and Ryo along.
Yuki eats, and during it, she sees Minoru at the table without knowing about him.
Yuki: Hey Rin, that little guy in your class, right?
Rin: That kid? Yes. He’s Minoru from my study hall.
Yuki: I usually see him around the hallways recently, that’s why I asked.
Rin: I see. Oh, people pick on him because teacher yells at him all the time. Our teacher has problems with us all the time, but mostly him while being innocent.
Yuki: At least you didn’t get caught that often.
Rin: Absolutely.
She watches Minoru.
Yuki: (mind) He’s kinda cute. Maybe I can talk to him.
While he was eating, two of his classmates came up to him.
Classmate1: Minoru, read chapter 13 on part 2-5.
Classmate2: That’s what the teacher said. Stop goofing off in class.
Classmate1: You really are a troublemaker!
They laugh at him and they left. Yuki saw it and she felt sorry for him.
Yuki: (mind) Why are they picking on him? I don’t think it’s a good idea for them to see me go up to him. Maybe another time, I can talk to him.
Ron comes up and talks to Yuki.
Ron: Hey Yuki. Remember you said we can hang out?
Yuki: Oh, sure. Sit.
He sits next to Yuki.
Ron: We both have a lot in common. We both love gym classes and we both are popular kids in school.
Yuki: Yeah. I guess it’s a coincidence.
Ron: It was more like luck instead of coincidence.
Yuki: Oh. I see.
Ron: I just want to know your reaction. I like it.
Yuki: Cool.
Ron: So how was your class, Yuki?
Yuki: Well, it’s been good so far.
Rin: Mines is good too.
Retasu: We all did fine in our classwork.
Ron: Cool. Me and Yuki have gym class together, and we are both in charge of the school board this year.
Rin: Sounds fun.
Yuki: It’s true. I am the vice president of the school board. He’s the president.
Ron: She’s right. We can spend more time together.
Ryo: Cool!
Yuki: Yeah. We now have individual jobs in the school.
Rin: You will be having a lot of good time.
Yuki: Huh?
Ron: She’s right. We will hang out together a lot.
Yuki: Oh, okay.
Rin: You should be glad, Yuki.
After lunch, Yuki talks to Rin and Retasu outside the cafeteria.
Rin: Did you realize that Ron was hitting on you? He likes you.
Yuki: Rin, I don’t have a thing for Ron.
Rin: Sure. You didn’t notice that he’s trying to flirt with you?
Yuki: I just don’t have a crush on him.
Rin: It will be best if you do.
Yuki: You are thinking for me, Rin. I don’t care.
Ryo: Yuki has her own decisions.
Retasu: He’s right, Rin.
Rin: But how could you not notice his flirtation?
Yuki: I do, but I don’t know about him as much yet.
Retasu: You will get to know him once you both work and play together.
Yuki: That’s just it. We gotta get our foods.
Rin: Okay.
The next week, Minoru went to the roof top and got a picture of Yuki from the newspaper, and tries to draw her. He seems to draw people very good.
Minoru: She looks very good. Yuki seems to be the most attractive girl I see in school. She seems pretty good for her popularity. I want to be friends with her, but more than that. I’m in love with her.
He sees Yuki coming in and he hide his drawing and he wants to get ready to talk to her.
Minoru: Okay, I have to approach her. I want to get up and go talk to her.
He tries to stand up, and wants to walk to her, but he somewhat freeze and sit back because he’s nervous.
Minoru: What should I say to her? I don’t want to sound like a moron. I can’t go up and talk to her. It’s making nervous. I like her but I can’t do it. I’m afraid if she might say something negative to me or think I’m acting weird.
He gets his homework and tries to work on it. Yuki talks to her friends at the roof top.
Rin: So did you completely finish the project for your biology class?
Yuki: Yeah. It took a while, and I don’t want to think about Biology. It’s not my type of class.
Rin: I see.
She sees Minoru sitting down, and she got happy to see him.
Retasu: Yuki, what are you so happy about?
Yuki: Ohh, (points to the sky) It’s sunny today!
Rin, Retasu, and Ryo looks up,
Ryo: Yeah? What about it?
Yuki: That means I can have a good weather, and I will be running outside during gym class.
Retasu: That’s sweet.
Rin: We know how much you like running, and sweating, as long you don’t keep your sweat scent near us.
Yuki: Don’t worry. I usually shower when I go to my locker by the end of the class, sometimes.
Ryo: We know how much you love sweating.
Yuki: That’s because I am a passionate athlete in the school.
Rin: Good. So do you still play Kingdom Hearts?
Yuki: Yeah, I just beat one of them games recently.
Retasu: Cool. I just finished one Project Diva game.
Yuki: That’s great. You know, I will be heading to the main hallway.
Rin: Okay.
They both went to the exit from the roof top, and Minoru sees her leaving and he is blushing.
Minoru: Yuki.
He gets his notebook and wants to create a letter for her.
Minoru: I can’t stop romantically thinking about her. I have to write a love letter for her.
He tries to write words, but he’s stuck on “Dear Yuki…”
Minoru: I can’t think of more words. I don’t want to sound awkward to her.
A while later, he finished writing the letter and he reads it to himself.
Minoru: “Dear Yuki, I notice you a lot and I love your skills on gym class and video games. I am proud that you are famous in Fujiwara in High School. I love to respect you a lot and I actually like you. Love, Minoru.”
He folds it and holds it.
Minoru: So how can I give it to her? I don’t want to give it to her directly. Maybe I can talk to her friends to give it to her, but it will be like talking to Yuki, which makes me nervous. I have to figure something out.
He went to the first floor and he walks to find Yuki, but he accidentally trips to the floor by crowds and accidentally drops the letter. He saw the letter slide and it went inside the air vent. He looks inside and he was so worried.
Minoru: Oh no! It slipped inside!
Ron came and pick him up.
Ron: What are you doing?
Minoru: I accidentally drop something inside. Can you help?
Ron: No! You lose it, you lose. Leave me alone!
He left and Minoru starts crying and runs in the hallway. Yuki was walking and she saw him run while crying and ran to the restroom.
Yuki: (mind) What happen to him? He was fine several minutes ago. Did someone pick on that guy? I wish I can help, but since they treat you like this, it’s gonna affect both of our reputations if I speak out to protect you. I’m sorry if anything went wrong, Minoru.
She continues to walk to her class, but she bump into Ron.
Yuki: Oh, hi Ron.
Ron: Hey Yuki. You look kinda sad.
Yuki: It’s just that I feel sorry for someone. I’ve seen several of my classmates who had a bad time.
Ron: I see. I can’t wait to see you at the track today.
Yuki: Yeah. I will be doing great.
Ron: I know. You’re pretty sweet when it comes to gymnastics.
Yuki: I usually ace on running.
Ron: I know. I will be competing with you in the track, but I know you will beat me in a lot of cases. Despite that, I want to have fun with you.
Yuki: Yeah, it’s a good thing that you will be looking forward to it.
Ron: I do.
Yuki: I better go to class.
Ron: Okay, see you at gym!
Yuki goes to her class and she’s been thinking about Minoru.
Yuki: (mind) Why does a lot pf people keep making Minoru’s life miserable? I wished I could’ve done something. Only if they respect him more, I would’ve hesitate and worry about our reputations. I actually think I have a thing for him. I never have any interest in Ron. I have a feeling that he has something dark hidden in him.
She puts her head down as her way of depression.
Later, Yuki did the track race with Ron, and her fans cheered that she won. Yuki was very glad she had a fair race. Ron came to thank her.
Ron: Yuki, I’m glad we both have a fair race.
Yuki: I know. I usually do pretty well.
Ron: Next time, we are going to be a team in dodge ball next week.
Yuki: Cool. I would probably join.
Ron: Good. I’ll be seeing you there.
He left and Aki and Ren saw them in a distance. They decide to walk inside the gym while their class is outside.
Aki: We know Ron wants Yuki.
Ren: Of course. I just hope Yuki accepts it and ends up going out with him.
Aki: And what if she doesn’t?
Ren: We will not forgive her of what she has done to us. Yuki is pretty mean to us.
Aki: Yeah, but I think Ron will change her mind so that she will actually change and apologize to us.
Ren: I know. That way, she will never hurt us again.
Aki: Yeah.
Ren: So Ron. I think he should ask her out immediately.
Some of the students came to the gym and overheard Aki and Ren.
Aki: Yeah. He is the macho guy who is the best athlete we both know, and Yuki is the chick who is also a well-known athlete and they are both popular for other things.
Ren: They both have very good fanbase, so we should ship them. Ron is at least trying to woo her in.
Aki: She is probably gonna end up going out with him.
Ren: Also, they both love gym, and they work on the school board once each week.
Aki: She will end up going out just like I said.
Ren: Yep. Yuki and Ron are meant for each other.
Aki: And they are both attractive people in school. It’s obvious that they will be couples.
Ren: As expected.
The students heard it and they left the gym. Later by the end of the class, Yuki is at the main hallway, hearing rumors.
Girl1: Ron is asking Yuki out.
Girl2: I know. I heard they will go out.
Girl1: Yuki! Is it true that you are asking Ron out?
Yuki: I haven’t. Where did you hear that?
Girl2: Half the people are in this same conversation. You should go out with him.
Yuki: Umm. We never said anything about that.
She left and went to the main entrance outside and sees Rin and Retasu.
Yuki: Rin! Retasu! Did you hear what’s going on?
Rin: A little people said that you and Ron have a thing with each other.
Retasu: They asked us if you are going out with Ron. They are shipping you both.
Yuki: I have no interest with him.
Rin: Keep talking. I know you already have a thing with him. I’ saw you blush a few times.
Yuki: I don’t! I was just thinking about Cloud from Final Fantasy.
Rin: Okay… A fictional character? I think they won’t take you seriously if you said that.
Retasu: Well, I think they all want you to go out with Ron.
Rin: It would be a miracle if you tell the truth.
Yuki: I am telling the truth. I have nothing for Ron. He talks to me all the time in every gym class.
Rin: He’s trying to woo you in.
Yuki: I know that, but I…Forget it!
Minoru came to the main entrance and sees Yuki and her friends talking. He sits by the bench and listens to the conversation.
Yuki: So want to go to my house and play some games?
Retasu: Sure.
Rin: Hope you made up your mind.
Yuki: I’m sure I will.
She and her friends left school and Minoru still sit down and watch Yuki leave.
Minoru: Yuki. I wish I didn’t lose the letter. I have a big crush on yo-you. I know you are amazing and it seems like you have a lot of good time, unlike me. Someday, we should talk to each other at least.
He starts to leave school and goes home. At night, Yuki is alone at her room, and she was thinking about the rumor that just started.
Yuki: What will I do? Half of my fans wants me to go out with Ron. I have no crush on that guy. Rin did not believe me on that. I don’t know how this started, but they may not take me seriously if I refuse and Ron will still ask me out. I don’t want my reputation to be ruined. Also, if they know that I have a crush on a miserable kid, Minoru, they will hate me that I am in love with a less popular guy, and they will hate him more. I don’t want him to be hurt. That’s why I can’t ask him out in front of everybody. It will cause us pain. Arrghhhhh! I don’t know what to do! Just because me and Ron have similarities and we both are popular doesn’t mean that we will be making out! He’s just an acquaintance of mine, that’s it!

Next Chapter: Yuki’s Secret Love
Since the rumors has started, Yuki keeps thinking about Minoru and accidently blushes, which makes others think she’s in love with Ron. To protect herself and Minoru, she claims to Ron that she’s not looking into relationships yet, so no one will know that she has a crush on Minoru. Also, Minoru gets in trouble by teachers a few times, much to Yuki’s fearfulness. Minoru plans to contact with Yuki at least, but he’s a shy guy to know how to approach her. How will they both deal with their secret love? Tune in next time!

I decide to show my refurbished chapters that I’ve written few years ago. In the last few months, I decide to reread my chapters to fix them and make it more sense. They were posted on Deviantart, but for a start, I recommend reading the chapters in Tumblr. Some of the scenes are re written and to post the original date.

There are few major changes. I’ve did a freshmen chapters that takes place before the very first chapter, so they are moved to the beginning to make more sense. Two chapters are gonna be posted first.

Rereading may take a bit of progress, but I will still post refurbished chapters here. Also, the changes in the early chapters from 2015 will be changed to make more sense on a school that follows the Japanese School System more, so the freshmen chapters will be renamed. The story will be the same at least. Check the first two out now!

Hey guys! I was out in the entire February. The reason is because I was busy doing my MMD video, Ash’s vacation. It’s already up and has 4k views already. It is the fastest gain I’ve ever seen on my videos. Last month, I didn’t have anything else back up to date because of very hard work on that video. Since I posted my MMD video over a week ago, I started going back to do Yuki’s story and recently showcasing Anti-Aliasing methods because I had an overdue post for SGSSAA and wanted to state about RAYMMD that anti-aliasing is pretty challenging to look better. So since I just decide to do another progress report again after for a while, I’ll list things that I plan to do.

Pretty Rhythm models:
I did plan to so Serenon models from the 3ds game, and I want to start with the stages first, but the stages are in a more complicated situation to where it has a lot of complex methods to look great. Some greyscale objects are colored in the game individually, and some textures looks wrong and it’s confusing to me. The light bloom for example has a weird texture pattern that MMD can’t do. It is quarter of the texture and it is mirrored inside the texture in a game and looking at the model, but even using blender and convert it to pmx, it doesn’t look right. It looks duplicate and there are a lot of those. The mapping effects on textures are also complicated to look right for MMD. I decide to skip that project until someone else has a better method of conversion. So eventually, I will start with Serena, and Kanon. I decide to include them and Kaname as a package and should be out in Spring. Doing the character models is more easier to do than stages. If you are wondering, you can play Pretty Rhythm games on Citra and used it. Because of the new GPU update, it plays pretty smoothly now.

Yuki’s Story:
I do have an announcement about the MMD. We are near close to the finish, and I do plan to have the season last 13 chapters. Yes, it will be a season. After that, a special chapter will be made eventually and that one won’t be based on the journals. It will be made exclusively for MMD panel strips. I am thinking of another season that will base on the current season of the journals, but most likely it will get started in Late 2018. Even though I haven’t put much of season 2 journals, I should put out a lot of it throughout the year. After the MMD Special comes out, there will be a bit of hiatus to slightly update the models and to learn better for MMD panel strips. MMD series is 13 chapters each and we are at 10 right now. Second one may end up the same thing. Although, if I am not that busy in the future, maybe the second season will stay frequent.
The next journal entry should be out by the end of the week. It’s close to done. Also, the second season of the journal entries will have more arcs that last 3-4 chapters, covering the whole topic. Arcs with a main topic is more interesting and I’ve been thinking about possible scenarios in the series, and that’s why this season took a bit of long time to make. Also, be a lookout for Yuki’s Bio this month.

MMD videos:
I do plan to do Miraculous Ladybug next and have five plots. It is not randomness, but it is different from each plots that will entertain the viewers. That video will relate to Pokemon a little, since it will share Kalos characters. By the way, this video is based on all five dreams I had from 2016 to now, and I do want to make a video based on those.
Next video isn’t planned yet, but another randomness is in late spring. Summer might have less videos since I have other things to do, like learning.

Others:
After showcasing MMD’s AA methods, I will study on shaders for a bit, and then I’ll start the production of the video later this month.
I did make shaders for GBA, NDS, and PSP. It is on Libretro already and I do plan to do a next update if I get my hands on a colorimeter. I do plan to get Colormunki smile since it’s pretty cheap and has great reviews, even on forums. For GBA, I do plan to get a light that makes the whites be more closer to 6500k to my screen for accurate color measurements. However, the blue is outside of SRGB color range, and I do need to have the display that has wider blue hues to get the actual data from the GBA screen. I do plan to get a GBC to do the same thing, and I do need a game that shows three main color primaries.
Lastly, I do plan to study 3D animation more and to learn a lot of methods of doing more productive work, whether its MMD or Maya. I do want to exports and transfer models more effectively. Learning about MMD and 3D work is important for me, and my best work that I’ve done so far is [MMD Pokemon] Ash’s Vacation.

Also, my birthday is at Saturday, so I will have fun.
