Seki: Hurry up and lie down!! If you sweat a little bit, you'll feel much better. Even if you have "it," I'll take responsibility!!
Haru punches him in the face with brass knuckles. The audience looks at Seki bleeding
Audeince: God…
Kanda comforts Seki.
Seki: Could this be because of the account that she fell into the pool yesterday <It seems to hurt more...>
Kanda: <You shouldn't have done that!>
Haru (really mad): Maybe.
Seki thinks, then suddenly gets into the "little girl" pose, complete with teddy bear, frilly dresses, and bow tie in hair. : )
Seki: Me? Could it be me that caused it? Stars in the sky, listen to me, what should I do? Because I, caused Haru…she seems to be really happy!!
Haru (mad): Shut up, you jerk!
Pg 10
Seki: Seriously speaking, take this.
He takes out some pills from his wallet. Kanda looks at him in surprise.
Kanda: Can it be? Do you actually take medicine with you wherever you go?
Seki (uncomfortable): Because Reiji often gets fevers.
In the next class… Reiji has the wrong textbooks .
Classmate: Those are for tomorrow.

Reiko (protesting): Haru-!?
Seki puts a hand up to stop Reiko.
Pg 12
Seki: (smiling): That…was yesterday's punishment right?

Seki: If you know what's good just take the medicine
Haru throws the pills away, scaring Seki.
Haru: I don't need it!
Pg13
Seki: Because it's from me, so you wouldn't eat it right? If it was Kanda, you would eat it won't you? No matter what the situation.
They glare at each other.
Kanda: Don't drag me into this ~
Haru: I think you're annoying!
Pg 14
Lighting strikes Seki. He grabs another classmate and rages at him
Seki: This kind of girl, I won't pay her anymore attention- One day, I will get on her! I'll make her beg for mercy!!
Scared classmate: Are you talking to me, prince?
Kanda holds Seki back.
Kanda: Don't make trouble, Youji! Even the author and readers are scared by you.
Reiko (concerned): You've gone too far, Haru
Haru: I can't help it, I'm almost annoyed to death by him
Pg 15
Reiko: You don't need to make it sound that bad. Since he likes you so much.

Haru looks down, mulish.
Haru: Sorry, I was wrong.
Pg 16
Reiko takes out some mentho-lyptus from her pocket.
Reiko: Eat this.

Kanda: Relax!
Pg 17
Kanda holds Seki's head and makes a move to kiss him.
Kanda: Haven't I often said, if no one wants you, I'll want you, Seki.
Seki: Oh Kanda, you're such a chaser.
They suddenly stop. Everyone's staring at them.
Everyone: Hurry up and continue!! Why are you so shy? Really ~
I thought you guys would finally turn gay.
I also thought, bothering you guys wasn't too good.
Yeah!
Kanda: I'm an idiot.
Seki kicks the audience
Seki: What's the fuss? <This isn't the time to do this.>
Guy: Sekiya!

Guy: I'm sorry. This should be done by the gym captain, but can you do it?
Haru: No problem. <Leave it to me.>

Girl: Haru! Listen to me ~ Eh? Your face is really red. Are you all right?
Haru (smiling): Don't worry.
Pg 19
Seki looks at Haru cheerfully talking to her friends
Seki: Compared to that smiling face, I prefer her to be angrily shouting
at me.
Pg 20
Seki bursts out crying in class, (using his shirt as a hankerchief), to the laughter of his classmates.
Seki: It's all because of me! It's me who caused Haru to be sick.
Haru: This has no relationship to you! <Didn't you listen? Put down your shirt, your stomach is showing!!>
After school…
Haru stands up and cheers.
Haru: It's time for club activity!
Pg 21
Reiko: What are you saying!? You should really go home!
Haru (strikes a pose): No.
Girl: Looks like she's still showing off.
Haru: I want to stay like the other people
Girl: I say, she probably has a fever.
Reiko: Due to her fever, her intelligence has been reduced to that of a child; that's why she won't go to the health center, and go home early.
If you faint, I won't care about it.
Haru greets another person in the hall
Pg 22
Girl: Haru really likes club activity.
Don! (A crashing sound) Haru bumps into Seki
Haru: Oww!
Seki: Are you okay?
Haru: Geez!!
Seki turns around, startled.
Seki: !?
Pg 23
Seki puts his hand on her forehead. Haru is shocked.
Seki: What are you doing?
He puts his forehead to hers.
Seki: How come your body temperature's so hot?
Pg 24-25
Haru suddenly has flashbacks of Seki leaning over her at the pool, and Aki moving close to her during their smoking trial.
Pg 26
Haru punches him in the face.
Haru: What are you doing?
Seki rubs his face in surprise. He suddenly grins at Haru, surprising her.
Seki: What? I was only measuring your body temperature. This kind of thing, anyone will do, won't it?
Pg 27
Seki: Aah, I understand. In truth, you care too much about me right?
Sound of hitting.
Pg 28
Haru stalks away madly. Seki is left gasping on the ground.
Haru: Don't get carried away!
Seki kneels alone on the ground.
Seki: It can't be helped. If I don't tease her, then I can't approach
her.
Pg 29
He puts his hand over his mouth.
Seki: I don't do this to everyone.
The swimming club is at the pool.
Pg 30
Haru is sitting. She is wrapped in a big blanket.
2nd and 3rd year swimmers: If you feel cold, say so right away.
We'll even take the boys" jackets away, so don't worry.
Be good, okay?
Haru waves cheerfully at them.
She coughs a bit.
Haru: My throat seems to have gotten thirsty… Crap, I really have a cold…
Pg 31
Seki (looking very cool) holds out a can of Aquarius to her.
Seki: Thirsty?
Haru blushes.
Seki takes it back and opens it instead.
Seki: Don't think I'll give it to you.
He chugs it down. Haru gets really pissed.
Haru (steaming): Who asked?
Swimmers (laughing): It’s outrageous that he loves to annoy other people.
Pg 32
Swimmers: That's called love. He's fallen in love with Haru.
Haru: Shut up!
Kanda pats Seki on the back
Kanda: <It seems you've only grown taller ~ still a little kid ~>
Seki: <What did you say ~?!>
Haru (still mad): What kind of a joke is this!
Swimmers: Haru's usually so cheerful, but, when she meets Seki, it's like she becomes another person
Swimmers: Could it be, you hate him, but in your heart you actually love him?
Haru (sarcastic): Yeah yeah yeah, maybe. Let's assume it's like that.
Seki is joking around with the other swimmers.
I'm so mad.
Image of Haru smiling
I hate this to death.
Pg 33
Just his very existence, makes me feel unsettled.
Haru suddenly faints.
Haru: Huh?
Swimmers: Haru!?
Person: Aaah!! Haru's fainted!
Person: Tell her to go home early!!
Weird?
Pg 34
Dizzy and confused…
~~~Flashback~~~
Snow is falling. Haru and her friends are standing outside the school.
Friend: The time goes by so fast.
Friend: What willl happen? Once spring comes, we'll be in our 3rd year! Our 3rd year!
Haru: Don't speak about it. I hate tests. Even in the 2nd year there were so many books to read.
Pg 35
Friend: Oh, but, half a year has already passed…
Another person gives her a warning sign.
Person: Oh, sorry.
Haru: But then…
Pg 36
Haru smiles with the snow falling around here
Haru: He's not here; this is already natural.
Pg 37
Haru's friends stare at her.
Those were truly the words I said.
