***Though the rain had subsided as dusk fell, the dampness clung to theair, and made Toshi shiver. He had followed Aika out of the village,hoping to c...tch her before she returned to the farmhouses. All the otherboys his age had been with a girl... and he was stronger than most anyof them! Why wouldn't Aika have anything to do with him?Truth be told, she had never really notice Toshi, thought she had seenmany of the boys training together with him. But on this night, shewould notice him,. There wasn't much else to do. I'd just work around it like I always didwhen the big guy's temper caused an issue. "That's enough news."Unlike the day before, when I switched off the news, it wasn't to startchecking on finances. After all, all my accounts were at the same spotas before. I did pull up an inventory list that I kept to mark off thelost booze and the never gained antibiotics, though."I need to go apologize to Mitch about losing the goods I promised toget," I noted to myself as I. Somewhere between pausing on wrestling shows, Nascar races and badly draw cartoon, he happened up a girl falling down a rabbit hole. She was a beautiful girl in a blue and white dress. She had pale white skin and long blonde hair, the sort of girl he sometimes daydreamed he would marry some day. Of course, he kept that kind of daydreaming to himself. The girls in his neighborhood certainly didn’t know. He was more likely to pull their pigtails or throw a stick at them than say hello. He watched. Brook? Brook? You there, Brook? What? Sorry, Haley. Wow, do we know why shes doing that? She apparently is in love with boys. I guess shes cougar or something And let me guess, Pierce asked you to help him? Yes Well dont worry. I can find a way to get her out of the way. I mean, we just have to catch her in the act- No so easy, Haley chimed in, There are no windows in her classroom, and she locks the door. Well, dont worry about a thing. I think I have a plan What is it? I heard that a janitor.
