Shibuya High School - Lunch Room

"Are you going to eat that burrito?" asked Ayano.

"Well, what do you think? It's halfway in my mouth." said Hiro with a muffled voice.

"Well, can I have half of it?" she asked. Hiro started to chew faster.

"Heh heh, hey fresh-mans. Mind if we sit with you?" asked Ayumi.

"Well, sure, but only if Hiro over here agrees too."

"Yea, you can sit here." said Hiro blushing a bit.

"Hey! Do you want your burritos?" asked Ayano eagerly.

"Uhm, yea...sure." replied Reika.

"Hey...Reika, what's wrong?" Ayumi asked with care. "Hmm, I know, you're still shocked about how you guessed that number, huh?"

"Yea..." Reika started to pick at her salad with her fork.

"Hmm, I think it would help if we talked about it?" Ayumi started to be optimistic.

"What happened 'ere?" questioned Ayano stuffing Reika's burrito in her mouth.

"Someone's being a fattie." said Hiro giving her the look.

"Hey! For your information, I weigh 120 pounds and have a slim body!"

Hiro ignored and asked Reika and Ayumi and question. "You know, I never got your names. What grade are you guys in?"

Ayumi put her hands on her hips, "I'm a Sophomore and my name is...Ayumi!"

Reika realized that the lettuce in her salad were getting enough torture, she looked up. "I'm Reika, and I'm a sophomore like Ayu."

Hiro started, "Well cool, my name is---"

Ayano interrupted, "Well hello! I'm Ayano, and this here is Hiro, we're both fresh-mans and best friends." Ayano gave Hiro a tight hug.

"Argh, yes..we're, we're best friends." said Hiro stuggling under Ayano's hug. The bell rang, that meant that lunch time was over. Ayano managed to steal another burrito from the cafeteria before heading for her next class.

The entire school's next class was not really a class. The students were given one hour to do what-ever they wanted, as long as they stayed in the campus' perimeter. The four were still together, so they decided to head for the gym. Along the way, Ayumi realized that Reika never really got a chance to finish what she was saying.

"Reika." said Ayumi. "Back to what we were discussing...supposedly."

"Alright."

"So how did you figure out his number?"

"What number?" Hiro jumped in.

"Hiro, stop interrupting people." said Ayumi.

Reika started to talk. "Uhm, well...you see. I had...I had this dream."

"A dream?" Ayano said looking interested.

"Yea, I was in this weird place. Then I saw something bright on a wall."

"You've been watching too many sci-fi movies haven't you, Reika?" said Ayumi.

"Heh, looks like you're the one jumping into people's sentences now." said Hiro.

"Awe shush, Hiro."

"Yea, anyway. I saw the number on the wall, and also on the clock." Reika continued with her story on how she figured out Mr. Oriko's number.

"Whoa...you're amazing." said Hiro with awe. Everyone started to stare at Hiro. "What? Oh. No no! That's not what I mean."

Ayano blurted out, "You like her!"

"You know what Ayano, you're a bit of a pain to be around sometimes." Hiro said crossing his arms.

"Hey, loosen up, I was only joking around." They hadn't realized it, but one hour had already passed and the bell rang once again for their next class period. They gave their goodbyes. Reika and Ayumi headed towards the northern end of the school while Hiro and Ayano went in the opposite direction. Reika, still daised, kept wondering about her dream.

"Hey, Hiro."

"Yeah, Aya?"

"You know how Mr. Oriko asked us the same question, as he did for Ayumi and Reika?" said Ayano.

"Yea...what about it? Hey, you answered it correctly too." said Hiro.

"Yea...I did." Ayano stared at the ground.

"How'd you do it?" Ayano stopped walking for a moment. Hiro turned around. She looked up.

"I had a dream too."
