Signs: (THINKING) [ACTION] ***** = change in time or place Sora Sora chapter 2 *Sorako's flash back* Yuki: I have my eyes on Nogi Sorao. *End of flash back* In the hallway Sorako: If you wanna fight, strike me head-on fair and square!! Sorao: I know that. Here you go!! [Throws a crumbled ball.] Sorako: This ones mine!! [She hits the ball with her crumbled bat. The ball hits Kurilin on the head.] Kurilin: Oww. Hey!!! [Chasing Sorako and Sorao.] Sorako: Don't you think that I could be in the muscle rankings!? I had a nice control there!! Sorao: Oh look, he stoped chasing us. That's boring. I bet we'll be scolded later. Sorako: (Oikawa Sorako, a girl from Kansai seventeen years old. Having fun, everyday playing around with Sorao, but) [Someone bumps into Sorao.] Sorao:Woh. Oh, aren't you Yuki chan? Yuki: Sorao senpai. Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going. Sorao: You ok? Sorako: (Thanks to her, it's starting to collapse. Wasn't looking!? Yah right.) Kurilin: [From behind.] So, who hit the ball? Sorao: Sorako. Kurilin: How many times have I told you not to play in the hallway!! Sorako: Ok ok ok, I got it. Just calm down Kurilin. Kurilin: Sorako!! Oh and by the way, have you brought back your guardian commitie sheet? Sorako: I've got it in class. ***** In class Sorako: Found it. Kurilin: Oh what is this? Why do you bring such a thing to school? Sorako: Can you overlook just this incident!!? I haven't read this yet. Just out side the class Yuki: Is that person always like that? Sorao: Yup. She's a trouble maker. Yuki: I see. Sorao: But she's a good fellow. Yuki: You two really are good friends aren't you? Sorao: I guess. Yuki: ......... [She has that evil look on her face. She looks mad.] Sorako: (Iwonder what they're talking about.) ! Yuki: Senpai, I have something to talk to you about. Sorako: What is it? I've got a bad feeling about this. [Sorako looks unpleasent.] Yuki: What are you talking about? ***** In the backyard of the school Yuki: Do you still not understand!!? Sorako: Why don't you stop that two slanted personalities. I'm your senpai you know. Yuki: Just get away from Sorao senpai, I mean fast!! Sorako: If you like Sorao, then tell him not me. That kind of feeling will never reach him. Yuki: What makes you think that I have a chance against you if I had went for it fair and square? You think that it's pretty much normal that you're right beside Sorao senpai. I don't want you telling me what to do. You can't confess either, that's why you're still friends with him!! Don't talk big. Sorako: Small... You're very small on the inside. You just say all you want and you're acting like a little brat. I don't even feel like dealing with you. Well, see ya. [Walks off.] [Yuki looks mad.] Sorako: (This is frustrating. *flash back* You can't confess either, that's why you're still friends with him!! *end of flash back* I guess she got me there.) ***** In class Sorako: (Maybe I said too much... If someone was to tell me that I'm small, then I'd give a good punch in the face.) Sorao: What's up Sorako? Let's play. Sorako: (Well let's just leave the brat aside for now. If Sorao ever happened to like her, then what would I do? Are there any strong bond between Sorao and I?) ***** Later in Sorako's class Yuki's friend 1: For real!? That's what she said!? That really ticks me off. Yuki's friend 2: Who does she think she is!? Yuki: Keep it down. Yuki's friend 1: This is her bag alright. Hey, you think she'll actually get worn-out with just this incident? Yuki: I don't know, but she is a trouble maker so if this works then it'll be quite intresting. [Going in Sorako's bag and doing somethind with Sorako's cell phone.] Yuki's friend 2: Quick, let's go. They'll be back from PhysEd soon. Yuki: Did you see anyone just now? Yuki's friend 1: Don't think so. ***** After school in the hall Sorako: Phew, PhysEd in the sixth period was tiring. Oh Kurilin, see ya. Kurilin: You mean 'Good bye'. Don't step on the heel of your indoor shes!!! And what are those doodles on your shoes? Sorako: This is done by Sorao. Sorao: I think I have to go to the wash room. Sorako: Look, he's running away. [Suddenly, Sorako's cell phone rings.] Kurilin: No cell phone allowed in our school, hand it over. Sorako: What---!? Ahw. (I thought I had it off.) [She trys to get the cell phone from her bag and she notice a pack of cigrette in her bag.] Did you see it? Kurilin: I saw it. Sorako: Wiat a sec!! Don't come near me!! I don't think this is my bag. Kurilin: Doesn't matter, just give it to me. Sorako: Slow down!! You've got the wrong person!! Yuki: That was too easy. [She has a cell phone in her hand.] Yuki's friend 2: That went well. Yuki: That was for standing in my way. ***** In the student guidance room Sorako: I told you, it's not me. Kurilin: Then why was it in your bag? Sorako: I don't know, someone set me up. Kurilin: By who!? Sorako: (Probably her(Yuki).) I don't know. Trust me, I don't smoke these things. Kurilin: Sorako, don't think that depending on another will get you through every time. Your usual attitude is bad, that's why at a time like this you'll be the one suspected!!! Be someone who wouldn't be suspected by others. This time I won't say anything to the other teachers, but there will be no next time. This would have resulted with a suspension. Sorako: I will not apologize. [Leaves the room.] (This is painful *flash back* Your usualattitude is bad, that's why at a time like this you'll be the one suspected!!! *end of flash back* Help, someone help me.) Sorao: Sorako. What happened to you? [He sees her crying.] You're acting weird recently. Sorako: No I'm not. Sorao: You come with me, you have time don't you? Sorako: Yah. ***** At the river Sorao: The river is beautiful. Sorako: Yah, beautiful. Sorao: Uncosciously, it makes you want to jump in!! Sorako: Yah, unconsciously. [Sorao kicks her in the river.] Sorao: Ha, ha. I hope that woke you up!! Sorako: What do you think you're doing!! [Sorao jumps in the river too.] Sorako: Thanks alot, I'm gonna have to wear this uniform tomorrow too you know. Sorao: It's not like Sorako to cry. 'What happened?' I won't ask that coz you seem not wanting to tell, but don't forget that I'm here. Sorako: No sweat! I'm fine. Sorao: Anyways, this river smell. Sorako: (Cause we're still at this age, we have lots of sorrow that an adult or stranger wouldn't understand. But there are times that we still have to keep on walking. But I can take this, it's ok.) ***** At Sorako's house Sorako's mom: Sorako!! What are you doing!? Sorako: I'm going to school. Cough. Sorako's mom: Are you crazy!? You have a fever. Now go to bed!! Sorako: Mom, any louder? Keep it down. Anyways, coz of Sorao I forgot about it, but there's someone who I must strangle. Sorako's mom: If you go in that condition, then you'll be the one strangled!! You will stay. [Grabs Sorako.] Sorako: Wahh. (It's that girl who set me up. She's the only one. I think!!) ***** At school in the backyard Sorao: (Sorako is absent. She gets a cold just coz we swam in the rier. I guess she's not gusty enough.) Yuki: Sorao senpai. Sorao: Oh, Yuki-chan. Yuki: Hello. Where's Sorako senpai? Sorao: She's sick. Yuki: Sick? Sorao: I know, it's unbelievable. Sorako... She's recently not have been so energetic anymore. I wonder if she has trouble, she's not telling me anything. Yuki: I guess you two's relationship aren't close enough to understand everything about each other. If it was me, I would talk about it immediately. Sorao: Yuki-chan, do you have someone important to you? Yuki: Y... Yes I do. Sorao: When it's really painful, normally you wouldn't be able to talk about it. How could you just say 'I'm in pain'? Especially to someone important to you. Oh, that's the bell. See you. [Walks off.] [Yuki's friends come over.] Yuki's friend 2: Yuki. Yuki: [looks furious.] I like Sorao senpai!! [Blush] Sorao: Huh. Yuki: You're not going out with Sorako senpai, right? Then I would like you to goout with me. Sorao: [Thinking] Well then, I don't see why not. Yuki's friends: What? ***** Sorako sleeping in her bed happily.
