Takumi's view

She quickly replied she would change after a few more practices and then left. He noticed as they were talking just now, how her ponytail had come loose, even though she dressed as a guy, she still looked alluring with her petite yet muscular femininity. He never had a chance to talk to her nor be close to her until now, albeit she is dressed as a boy, but still it was closer than he has been. Now he even has something to talk with 'him' about, maybe even one day finding out why she hides under the covers of the boy's clothes.

The next day he saw her early like always and for some reason had the courage to just go up and speak with her, this time in Japanese, instead of English. She was very smart and open, which surprised him. It was super easy to start a conversation with her, causing him to wonder why after the first day of questioning from his classmates, he's never seen her talk with anyone.

As usual, when lunch came, Takumi's friend came to see Marie. Takumi had forgotten all about Hiroshi and the thought of what he tried to do to her and is still trying to do got his blood boiling. He thought to himself that he would definitely talk to his friend later in regards to how he needs to treat girls and no means no, or in this case throwing you down to the ground and ignoring you means not interested.

This time around when Marie got up to leave completely ignoring Hiroshi, he lost it and grabbed her arm, but before Takumi could intervene, she turned to him not wanting the whole world to see her fight, said in a whisper, "let me go and meet me in the back of the building." Everyone began whispering but didn't say a word, including Takumi. He just followed behind his friend without him knowing. Once they made it to the back of the building, Takumi stopped, surprised and curious to see why Marie would take his friend to an excluded spot after what he has tried to do to her. I mean no one usually comes around here so no one would be able to help her. Wanting to dart out and keep his friend away from her, but also wanting to see what she was doing weighed on his mind until he decided to let things be. If his friend did try to do something he would go and help Marie.

Taking a deep breath, calming herself down, "Stop bothering me. I do not like you, nor do I want to hang out with you." "Do you have someone else you like?" "The reason I will not go out with you is that you think it is ok to force yourself on someone, which it isn't." "What, wait a minute when have I forced myself on you?" "The first time was at the park, remember? Then the next time we meet you do not apologize for your actions. Then now, you grip my arm tightly when I try to go past you." "You kept ignoring me." "So you think it alright to let your anger out on me for rejecting you? Just so you know, when a girl says no, or ignores you it is because she does not like you and you should leave her alone. So leave me alone. Goodbye." Now being out of the view of her classmates, when he tries to grab her like before, Takumi begins walking forward only to stop as she grabs Hiroshi's hand bringing it behind his back, bringing him to kneel on the ground. In his ear, she warned him, "You need to leave me alone before you get hurt. Do NOT mess with me." With that, she once again leaves him on the ground, this time kneeling. After that incident, Hiroshi completely changed. He no longer bothers Marie and has gone to seek help with his anger issues. Leaving Takumi in awe as he walks up to her, "Who exactly are you?"
