Part 5

Chizumi is in the third class now. But she is still careless. When the teacher shouted her because her carelessness, she became more careless.
    "Careless and unskilled" Chizumi said to herself when she went home.
    "I wish I was as pretty as the woman I met yesterday", Chizumi remembered about yesterday’s event.

It was raining and Chizumi was walking in front of a house, holding a bag of apples. Then a dog came out from the house and barked at her. Chizumi run away and dashed into a woman. An apple fell from the bag but the woman caught it. Chizumi explained why she ran away.
    Then the woman walked to the barking dog and said," What a peasant dog" .
The dog became quiet at once.
    "You can walk now", said the woman.
Chizumi bowed to thank to the woman and some apples fell down from the bag.

    "What are you laughing at, Kotone?" The woman that helped Chizumi was talking to her friend at the food court.
    "Nothing, I just remembered something funny." ,said Kotone.
Then she walked to the door. She tried to open the door, but it stuck. Fujiomi helped her to open the door.   
    "Thanks, Fujiomi" ,said Kotone.
Fujiomi smiled and walked away.
    "Do you know him, Kotone?" asked her friend.
    "He sometimes comes to my brother’s shop. He is two years younger than I am. Since he came to the university, many girls like him".

Chizumi got into a bus but her skirt was stuck at the door. Suddenly the door was opened and Chizumi fell down. The people on the bus were laughed at her.
    ("Uh, I make trouble again")
    She wanted to meet Fujiomi.
    ("I’ll try not to fall. The life has to see to the front")
DUG! Chizumi dashed a pillar.
    "If you are walking, you have to see to the front, Miss", said an old man beside her.
At the station, she met Fujiomi. But there were many peoples and she was pushed to the back. Fujiomi grabbed her and lift her up next to him. Kotone saw them and called them. They went to Kotone’s brother’s shop (café).
    "Do you often go here, Fujiomi?" ,asked Chizumi when they sat in the café.
    "Well, I think this is the third. Lots of my friends like her, they also asked me to go here" ,said Fujiomi.

    Kotone came and brought the drinks for them, "It’s a small world. I know you are Fujiomi’s girl just now" ,then she put the drinks on the table and looked at Fujiomi and Chizumi.
    "Maybe the girls will be disappointed to know the truth" , said Kotone.
    ("That’s right. There are many girl’s in Fujiomi’s college. Maybe they are prettier and older and of course, they are not as careless as I am. Kotone is the example…….Hey, I begin to compare again. I shouldn’t be sad, The most important is to improve myself")
    "Chizumi….Your spoon was in wrong side", said Fujiomi.

It was raining when they wanted to leave the café
    "Take this" ,Kotone lent her umbrella to them. "I’ll go home with my brother later. You can give the umbrella back whenever you want".
Then Chizumi and Fujiomi went home.
    ("She is really kind. I want to be like her")

The next day in the college, Fujiomi was called by some men.
    "Looks like, you begin to approach Kotone lately. We’re Kotone’s bodyguards. You are so impolite, just in the first year, you are dare to interfere Kotone’s business. I’m the third year student…bla…bla…bla" ,the men keeps talking.
Fujiomi was confused.
    Then Kotone came," What are you doing? Don’t disturb him, he has already had a girlfriend"
    Kotone walked out with Fujiomi,"I’m so sorry for making you trouble. But.. Chizumi.. She is a kind person. At first time I met her, I thought that she cant’ be controlled".
    "Yet…She has a big heart" ,said Fujiomi and smiled.

    The men who said themselves as Kotone’s guard went to Chizumi’s school and met her. "Hey, you! Do you know Chizumi Shinohara?", said one of the men.
    "Yes, that’s me",answered Chizumi.
    "You are Chizumi ? Stupid! Fujiomi’s girl is the girl like this?. She can’t be compared with Kotone" ,said the men and left her.
Chizumi got a big shock. Then she came late to the class and the teacher became angry again.
    ("Why it always be like this… even though I have tried my best. I wish I could be like Kotone….Not careless, and have more confidence").

Chizumi went to Kotone’s café to return the umbrella. Kotone offered her a drink, but Chizumi dropped the sugar.
    "I’m sorry… sorry….". "It’s alright. Just relax" said Kotone and cleaned the table.
    Chizumi cried,"I always like this. Careless and have no ability. I want to be like you, pretty and have the style, clever and calm".
    Kotone looked at Chizumi and said, "But, even I am like that, it seems that I can’t take your place".
Kotone smiled.

Fujiomi came in and saw Chizumi and Kotone.
    Kotone continued her work then she took her bag and walked away, "See you next time, Fujiomi….. Sayonara".
She went out the café and use her umbrella. Chizumi looked at her
    ("At that time, her umbrella seemed very impressive")

    "What’s up?" asked Fujiomi.
    "Sorry?",Chizumi looked at him.
They were on their way home. Fujiomi accompanied Chizumi to her house.
    "The rain has stopped",said Fujiomi again.
Chizumi’s face became red. She closed her umbrella. But suddenly Fujiomi pulled her.
    "There is a pillar" said Fujiomi.
Chizumi looked in front of her and saw the pillar.
    ("Hhhh, Why have to be like this").
Chizumi is really shamed.

Fujiomi looked at her with a very kind look. They arrived in front of the Chizumi’s house.
    "Bye", said Chizumi.
    " Bye", Fujiomi answered but he didn’t go.
He bowed and his face approached Chizumi’s face. Chizumi blushed when she realized Fujiomi kissed her. Meanwhile at the college, Kotone’s guards were told that Fujiomi is really good in fighting. They suddenly stunned.
