I’m so glad that I called Yuu
Hello, Miki
Yes, it’s sad being apart, but we’ll just have to be strong
Yuu , Yuu’s lonely too
I’m not the only one
Yuu’s starting a new life on his own, and it’s hard for him too
Yes, we’ll be really strong, that’s it, I know I can be strong
I guess it’s not really that bad , I can always hear his voices, when I get lonely I will just call him
I wonder if it’ll annoy him if I call him every day
I’m sure he’s busy
I mean he isn’t there to goof off
Maybe once a week
Or, how about every third day

LOVE TROUBLE
NEW YORK IS TOO FAR AWAY!

Yuu
You wanna go get some lunch with me , you haven’t eaten right
Sure, why not
They said he’s not interested in girls
Be careful there
Bill doesn’t seem to be interested in any of the girls as far as I can tell, and he’s close to Brian , keep that in mind
Well, I’ll stop speculating and just being nice
This burger place is really good , it’s one of the best around
It sure feels like he’s standing way too close to me
Man, just let my imagination get away from me
Is something the matter
No, nothing, everything’s just fine
Great, since it’s such a beautiful day, why don't we go find a place to eat somewhere with a nice view
What, what a fantastic view
Yeah, I think this is the best spot in the entire park for a view in Manhattan , that’s for sure
Really
The big city life keeps me from seeing the stars at night, but, but you know I sure do like looking at it a lot during the daytime
Thanks a lot, Bill
This burger’s huge
Lunch with a view, huh
Just the two of you
Now, Bill , I won’t allow you to sneak around like this
What do you mean, I’m not sneaking around
So you say
Hey, may I sit down next to you
Of course
What a temptation
So, how’s your first day of class’s coming along
I guess it going all right
I’m just trying to do my best and keep up with you guys
So, Yuu , what do you think about the way that I look
Huh?
Well, I think that you’re an incredibly attractive girl , Jinny
Really
Yeah, definitely
You are not too bad yourself , Yuu
Thank you
I like you, I really like you
So what do you think about this thing, do you want to be my boyfriend
So, do you
Well, I uh
Well. Don't you
I’m sorry, Jinny , but I’m afraid that I can’t
Why not
I have a sweetheart back home in Japan
A sweetheart
Is your sweetheart a girl
Huh? Of course my sweetheart is a girl
What else would she be
Why would you ask a thing like that
No particular reason
I see
So , what’s her name , this girl friend of yours
Well, her name is Miki
Serious
Yeah, I guess you could say we’re pretty serious
So, how far have you and Miki gone then
What do you mean by that
I mean, how far have you gone in the intimate way with each other
What? That’s kind of
Have you had sex
No , we haven’t
Jinny ,will you please stop interrogating him
What’s that, I’m not interrogating him , Bill
I’m just trying to find out the truth , that’s all
So, you’ve only kissed , then
Well, yeah
Well then she isn’t much of a girlfriend , is she
I mean even little kids kiss
Hey, isn’t that Jinny over there with those two guys
They kiss just like this
Jinny’s kissing him
Catch you later
Be careful , Jinny’s always full of surprises, Yuu
Well, I will see you later
Enjoy your classes today
Thank you
Well, well, well, here comes the playboy
Hold it
Are those tear stains I see on your face
Let me guess, little boy was crying cause he misses his mommy
Let go of me, you jerk
No, you’re pretty strong for a skinny little punk
I was sure that you were a girl the first time I saw you
Those rosy cheeks of yours are just lovely , Miss Yuu
Yeah, why don't you go back to your mommy, if you miss her so much
Brain, stop it
What’s going on here
You know this is really none of your business
You know you guys think this is funny , but you’re only humiliating yourself
What
It’s so obvious you’re been jealous
And I’m sure it's all because Jinny’s been paying so much attention to him
Do you think I’m jealous
That’s ridiculous
Let’s go, I don't have time for this
Sorry, Yuu , don't worry about him
No, I’m not worried about someone like him you know
Anyway , thanks for your help, I really appreciate it
Hey, it was nothing
Yuu , try not to think too badly of Brain after this
Despite how he acts, I know he has a really gentle side to him as well
He always manages to get himself totally worked up when it comes to him and Jinny
Yeah, I understand
Well, shall we get going , class is starting
Right, let’s go
6:00 A.M. this is the time that Yuu should be getting back to his dorm after school
I’m going to call him every day for at least a little while
Everyone’s still asleep , so now’s my only chance
I wonder if Miki’s awake yet, maybe I’ll call her
Yuu
I’ve been waiting for you
Doing anything important right now , because I was waiting here to see if you want to go and see a movie with me , what do you say
A movie
Yeah, no one wants to go and see the new Arthur Crichton’s movie with me, so I thought I could persuade you to come along
Jinny
What’s the deal
How come when I asked you to go with me , you told me you didn’t like Arthur Crichton’s movie anymore , because they were too childish
Oh, really, did I say that , guess I forgot
Whatever , it's really none of your business who I decide I want to go to the movie with anyway Brian
What’d you say
Stop it, that hurts, what are you doing, let go off me , this is why I don't like you
Hey, let go
Hurting an inoffensive girl is the lowest thing a guy can do
Just shut up
And stay out of this, you understand
You know, I didn’t like you from the start, and if you have problem with how I handle my business , then why don't we settle this on the court, you moron
You got it
Hello, this is the St. Andrew’s High School dormitory , what can I do for you today
Yuu
You must mean that new exchange student who’s here from Japan
He hasn’t got back yet
Huh ? he’s not there
I wonder if something happened
Hey, hurry up, will you
It’s your turn, come on , get over here
All right, I’ll be right there
I’m really sorry that you missed him , bye
Wait a minute , when you see him , please tell him to call me right away
I wasn’t finished yet
And I was just so excited about hearing his voice again this morning
Hey, something big is happening
Really? What is it
Brain and that new Japanese exchange student are getting ready to fight it out over the basketball court , you guys
What
This isn’t fair at all, Brain
There’s no way Yuu can beat you in basketball and you know it
We’ll never know unless we play, right
Right
You never know who’ll win, he’s right about that
But Brian is the star of the varsity basketball team
It’s just not fair
You can back out right now , if you want, Yuu
I’m not backing down
Yuu
Three against one isn’t exactly a fair match now is it
Anyone else want to join in
You can count me in
One more
Then I guess it’s up to me
We'll play one 10-minute game
And everybody calls their own fouls
Go ahead and call it
I’m heads
Then I guess I’m gonna be tails
It’s my ball
Yuu , are you okay
Yeah, Bill I’m okay , there’s nothing
Foul on me
No way
That was my foul
That makes the score 11 11
And there’s less than a minute to play
The final is 11 to 12
Yuu is the winner
Yeah, I won, yeah
Yuu
Hey, Brain
Thanks for the game , you really played pretty well
Thanks, that was fantastic
Why don't we take a little break
So tell me , Suzu , what kind of things do students at your age talk about then you’re with your friends at school
Well, we talk about clothes and celebrities and boys all the usual stuff you know
Girl stuff huh
What’s that
Oh, this
He’s a young piano prodigy that we’re gonna be interviewing in the near future , do you know him Suzu
Yeah, a little
First place winner in the piano competition , sponsored by the Times.
Is that this year, are you sure
That’s correct , I heard that he stopped playing for a while but now he’s back , he’s already won first prize in one competition
I hear that he’s very talented
Wow, amazing
Kei actually started playing the piano again
Everything is back on track for now
I’m very sorry to have worried you
Really, there’s no need for you to apologize , I think we just didn’t understand how sensitive he is , and how important playing music really is to him
From now on, I’d like to talk to him a bit more about each piece before deciding on playing it
I think that’s a good idea
You know I believe in the long run, this entire incident was probably a very good experience for Kei , don't you agree
I think you’re right
And you know what, I feel like maybe he’s matured a little bit during this process as well
Yuu gave me this dialer , but , it’s no use if they don't give him my messages
I know, Michael can call for me , because he speaks English
But I don't know, is it weird to ask him to help
It’s midnight in New York now
It’s as far away in time as it is in distance
It makes me feel really lonely
Who could that be
Kei , but
Is everything all right
I’m fine, but I really need to talk to you
Listen, I finally have the confidence to ask you this question , so please take it seriously
Will you , will you please go out with me

Kei suddenly appeared out of nowhere and asked me to go out with him, and now Michael’s also telling me quite openly that he likes me a lot
But right now, more than anything , I just want to hear Yuu’s voice
