Tatsuro : Sam.... You love Riku-chan right??

Sam : What??

Tatsuro asked Sam if he likes Riku. What will Sam answer?

Sam : No... Why would I love her?

Tatsuro : Dont lie to me. I know you love her. When Riku-chan said she loves someone. I saw your face. It was sad.

Sam : What.. No...

Tatsuro : You can't hide it from me. Tell he truth.

Sam : I LOVE HER ALRIGHT? I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER. WHEN I HEARD SHE LOVES SOMEONE. I WAS REALLT SAD.

Sam screamed at Tatsuro and confessed. After that. Tears came rolling down his eyes. Sam started to cry.

Sam : I'm sorry. I didn't wanted to scream at you.

Tatsuro : Don't worry. Its good to say what you hold in your heart. You should go and propose Riku to become your girlfriend...

Sam : I cant. She will reject me. And if she rejects me. It will be awkward to face her.

Tatsuro : Don't worry. She wont reject you. Just say it.....

Sam : I will later.. But not now.

Tatsuro : Ok... Well I will take my leave. Its getting late.

Sam : Ok. Let me drop you.

Tatsuro : Don't worry. I can go back home safely...

After Tatsuro left. Sam went in to take a bath.

Sam : I didn't wanted to scream at Tatsuro... I hope he doesn't mind....

Next day. Tatsuro didn't came to school..

Sam : Oh no. He is mad. I know it. He is mad.

Riku : What are you saying Sam-kun?

Sam : Oh nothing.

After some hours later. A boy came to Sam.

Boy : Hey Sam. Why didn't Tatsuro came to school?

Sam : I don't know. Rikito.

Rikito : Wanna meet him?? At his house?

Sam : Yeah sure.

Riku : Can I come too?

Sam : Yeah sure.

Rikito : Ok. Then meet you after school.

Sam : Got it.

When school is finished. Sam, Rikito and Riku met at the school gate.

Rikito : Well shall we?

Sam : Yeah lets go.

They started walking to Tatsuro's home.

Sam : Well Rikito. How is your studies going?

Rikito : Good I guess. But there were some girls who needed my help. So I helped them.

Sam : Well girls want your help because you are popular and handsome.

Rikito : Oh stop it. Its nothing.

They chatted for a while. Then they reached Tatsuro's house. Its a huge building.

Sam : If memory serves. He lives on the 35th floor right?

Rikito : Yeah.

They entered the lift. While they were inside the lift. Rikito saw that Riku was silent.

Rikito : So Riku-chan. Do you have a boyfriend??

Riku : What? No I don't.

Rikito : What? But I thought a girl like you should have gotten a boyfriend already. I mean you are cute and beautiful.

Riku : What no.. Anyway, Rikito-kun. How is the progression with you and Iroha- chan?

Rikito : Uhhhh. Good I guess. I mean I dont get to talk to her much.

(Rikito likes a girl named Iroha Igorashi)

Sam : Did you to went on a date?

Rikito : What. No. I didn't asked her.

Sam : You should. You are handsome. Kind. Smart. So it wont be a problem. Because she wont reject you.

Rikito : Oh come-on stop it..

After few minutes, the lift reached 35th floor. Then those 3 went to Tatsuro's house. They rang the bell. A sick voice can be heard from the other side of the door.

Tatsuro : Uhhh. Who is it?

Sam : Tatsuro. Its us. Sam Riku and Rikito.

Tatsuro : Oh. You guys.

Tatsuro opened the door. Then Sam, Riku and Rikito was shocked. They saw that Tatsuro had a black mark on his eye. His cheeks were red. And he was really beaten.

Sam : WHAT THE HECK. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?

Tatsuro : Guys calm down. Its ok.

Sam : NO ITS NOT OK. WHO DID THIS TO YOU? SAY THE NAMES.

Rikito : YES WHO DID THIS?

Tatsuro : Calm down first. I'm telling you everything.

Everyone calmed down for a second. And Tatsuro started to explain what happened.

Tatsuro : So I was coming out of Sam's House. Then I saw the same bullies Sam saved me from. They were now bullying a girl who goes to our school. Then I walked in there to save her..

Bully 1 : Huh. If it isn't the school's cute scaredy cat Tatsuro?

Bully 2 : Yeah its him

Bully 1 : Listen kid. This is our matter. So if you don't wanna get beaten. Then run away from here.

Bully 2 : Yeah. Or we will beat you.

Bully 1 : Oh so you chose to fight? Well then come-on

They started beating Tatsuro. After they finished beating him. They left.

Girl : Ahhhh are you ok? I'm sorry. Its my fault that you got engaged.

Tatsuro : Don't worry about it. A good friend of mine told me to help those people who are in need.

Arisa : Thank you for helping me. My name is Ishino Arisa. You can call me Arisa

Tatsuro : My name is Tsutsui Tatsuro. You can call me Tatsuro.

Arisa. Tatsuro-san. Thank you for saving me. Here I will help you to go to your house.

Tatsuro : Thanks.

Arisa and Tatsuro reached Tatsuro's house. Then Arisa gave him some medicines and helped his wound.

Arisa : Here. This will make you feel better.

Tatsuro : Thank you. I will never forget this.

Arisa : Oh come-on. You helped me more. So this is nothing in compared to what you did.
