" The new kid" part 3




Hey! *sigh* I don't think this chapter will be very long but I'm 
hoping it will depending on how much I type and how fast also. Please 
don't be mad if it's so short. Enjoy part 3!

Disclaimer: I don't own Escaflowne.

   After Hitomi's algebra class was over, Hitomi headed to the track 
field. She knew Yuakri was there, waiting for her like always.

   She was glad to be excused from her third period history class 
anyway. She hated her history class.

   Once she got there, she spotted Yukari and headed toward her." Hey 
Yukari."

   " Hey Hitomi. Glad you came on time for a change. I heard from Dui 
that the hotty is in your first period class and that he sits right 
behind you. You're so lucky Hitomi. Everyone is so envious of you."

   Hitomi only sighed as she took off her school uniform to reveal
her 
track shirt and shorts. She laced up her track shoes and headed to 
where all the girls were standing.

   Before getting into position, Hitomi looked around at all the 
people and spotted Amano. She smiled at him and he smiled back.
Hitomi 
frowned though when she saw Amano walking towards Yukari. Hitomi had 
always known that Amano liked her but Hitomi tried to pretend that 
that wasn't so.

   She tried to ignore it now by getting into position. The gun was 
shot and she was off like a bullet. She ran as fast as she could. On 
the way, she saw the new kid, Van, standing on the side and watching 
her. He had on this smile that would have made any girl swoon. 

   Hitomi was so distracted by it that she began to slow down. Once 
she remembered that she was in a race, it was too late. She ended up 
in third place.

   Hitomi was furious by this. She had practiced way too much to end 
up third. She decided to blame it on the new kid.

   She walked over to Yukari and Amano who looked disappointed by the 
place she got.

   " Don't worry Hitomi. I'm sure that next time you'll do better," 
Amano tried to reassure her.

   " Geez Hitomi, what did you do? You were doing great at first,
then 
I saw you start to slow down. Did you get tired or something?" Yukari 
asked in her trainer voice." You'll never make it to the
championships 
if you keep that up."

   Hitomi didn't want to tell Yukari that the new kid distracted her 
or else Yukari would be on her case saying that maybe she liked him
or 
something." Yes Yukari, I began to get tired. I'm sorry for letting 
you down."

   " It's okay Hitomi. With some more practice I know you'll be able 
to do it."

   Hitomi only quietly groaned to herself. She didn't need anymore 
training but she guessed it was better than constitanly being
pestered 
about liking Van.

   Amano and Yuakri left Hitomi to get ready so they could go home.
As 
Hitomi was putting her school uniform back on, a shadow overlapped 
her. Hitomi turned around and discovered the new kid standing there,
a 
big smile on his face.

   " Hi. I saw you run. Why did you slow down?" he asked.

   Hitomi blushed and frowned at him." It was your fault. I saw you 
standing on the side and I began to slow down because of it."

   Van only began to laugh." Why would that make you slow down?"

   This was a question Hitomi didn't want to answer. She picked up
her 
duffel bag and walked away to go meet Yukari and Amano. She was glad 
that Van didn't follow her.

There's part 3. I hope you liked it. In later parts I'm going to try 
and include other character like Allen, Merle (who will be a human), 
Folken, etc. I know there are fans out there of those characters so I 
will include them. I just need to find the perfect opportunity. 
Anyways, did you like this part? Please review on what you thought 
about it. I'll have part 4 up probably on Monday. Bye!
