Students walking to school.
Atushi: Three months ago, I MISTAKENLY entered Jougaoka High School. The reason for this is that I knew that my longed-for "Maa-chan", Masami Shibata was working at the infirmary at Jougaoka.
Atsushi: Thanks to the mistake, I met my soul-mate!
Atsushi: Smiling to himself as he holds his bag, walking to school. Hehehehehe...
Atsushi stops as he hears screaming in the distance.
Atsushi: The new teacher who took "Maa-chan"'s place after he retired.
Atsushi turns around with a big smile on his face
Screaming: GET OUT OF THE WAY!!! MOVE!!! YOU'RE GONNA GET KILLED!!!!
(page)
Atsushi: throwing his bag and running towards a car MR. SHIBATA!!!! (heart)
Masayoshi: surprised UWAHHHHHH!!!!
(page)
Masayoshi: turns the wheel GAH!
The car barely swerves by an ecstatic Atsushi with arms open.
The car screeches to a halt... too late. It ends up in the bike rack.
Atsushi (still with hands open) looks back with a blank expression as we hears sounds of the car crashing into the bikes. Other on-looking students are shocked.

Masayoshi: Why you! Is this what you call a "morning greeting"??!! Look what happened to my lovely car!!

Atsushi: remembers Ah! The Morning Greeting. and kisses Masayoshi on the cheek
Atsushi: eyes closed Mr. Shibata, please return the greeting.
Masayoshi: ...... ARISAWAAA!!!

Sign: Infirmary
Masayoshi: leaning in his chair, smoking He's gotta be joking! That Arisawa kid...
Masayoshi: Of all people, why does he change the direction of his feelings toward me?
Masayoshi: When he was chasing after "Maa-chan", he was much more well-behaved.
Masayoshi: There is knocking at the door. So...
Atsushi: bursting into the room Mr. Shibata!! I don't feel to well!!
Masayoshi: slamming his fist onto his desk If a sick person is that cheerful, would they come here??
(page)
Atsushi: on the verge of (fake) tears Mr. Shibata, you hate me, don't you?
Masayoshi: Why you!!
Masayoshi: holding his head Anyways, let's talk this over calmly. Sit here.
Atsushi calmly sits on Masayoshi's lap.
Masayoshi: Who said you could sit on my lap??!!
Atsushi: covering Masayoshi's mouth Please don't say anything.
Atsushi: serious Even I have some wisdom. One should not mistaken adoration for true love.
(page)
Atsushi: really serious I must admit that I adored "Maa-chan", but that wasn't love...
Masayoshi: patting Atsushi on the head I see..
Masayoshi: It was difficult for you too. I'm glad you understand.
Atsushi: blushing ... because you taught me what true love is.
Masayoshi: stopped in his tracks huh??
Masayoshi: Wait a minute, Arisawa?
Atsushi: Whenever I see you, my heart beats fast, and when I think that if I go home, I won't be able to see you until tomorrow, then my chest tightens with pain.
(page)
Atsushi looks fully determined and there is a carp/sunrise behind him.
Atsushi: This MUST be LOVE (kanji: love)

Sounds of things breaking.

(page)
puts on his sun glasses as the car revs up.
Masami: So unlike the cute Masami A good sound, I am so excited!
Masami: Ready...
The car screeches out of the driveway and...

Sign: Infirmary
Masayoshi: A little bit more up. Easy! Put it on slowly.
Tooru: slapping on the bandage There you are.
Masayoshi: OWWWW!!!!
Masayoshi: Tooru!!
Tooru: (Shall I stick one on your legs, so it will rip out some hairs when you take it off?)
Tooru: Idiot!! Of all things, you forget the lunch that Masami made!?!

Tooru: What?
Tooru: trying to get a look A car came, right? Move out of the way!
Masayoshi: WAAAH!! Tooru is touching me in strange places!! Pervert! Cheater! I'm going to tell Maa-chan.
Sound of a car screeching to a halt.
(page)
The car stops inches away from the building.
Masami: Like a pro! Oh boy! My own abilities scare even me!
Tooru: What are you hiding?
Masayoshi: There are times when you'd be happier if you didn't look!
Masami: out of the car and back to his cute self Tooru! Masayoshi! You haven't eaten yet, right?

Masami: dreamily Tooru..
Masayoshi: watching them in disgust AHEM!! cough cough!!
Masayoshi: to Tooru If it's "enough" for you then don't eat the lunch! (You'll get fat!)
Tooru: You look like you still have some energy left in you, Masayoshi- KUN!
NOTE: The use of "kun" here shows that Tooru is making use of his "sempai" (or upperclassmen) power here.
Masami: Come on! Let's all eat lunch together!
Masami: Ah! Masayoshi, tonight we're going to decide where to go for the annual "Club Rush" Excursion, right? (I brought the flyer)
Masayoshi: Yeah.. Last year, we went to the beach, didn't we? So, this year I was thinking of somewhere overseas..
Tooru: Hey! Masayoshi, you know that I must pay full price to go?
(page)
Masayoshi: There is no discount for non-members. If Maa-chan didn't ask, who would ever bring you along?
Tooru: Are you trying to take advantage of the fact that you know how much we teachers make?
Masami: But, if we went to Hawaii, then it would be about a cheap as staying in Japan. (right?)
Tooru: on the verg of tears Masami! (Your sticking up for me...)
Masayoshi: Hawaii? How boring!
Masami: sad A vacation without Tooru is..
Tooru: takes Masami's hand again If Masami say "Come!", then I will- even to the ends of the earth.
Masayoshi: getting disgusted Am I planning some sort of pre-honeymoon here?
Atsushi: out of nowhere You're going on a trip, Mr. Shibata?
Masayoshi: UWAAHH!!!
Masami: Akkun! (Where did you come from?)
Masayoshi is panting.
Atsushi: Good afternoon, Maa-chan!
Inagaki: (OH! A home-made lunch!)
Masami: Good afternoon! You seem really cheery.
Inagaki: Trip? Would that be the "Club Lush" Excursion? Mr. Hagiwara is also going along "by coincidence".. (Taking advantage of a "coincidence")
Masayoshi goes to cover Inagaki's mouth, but..
(page)
Too Late. Atsushi heard.
Atsushi: innocently That sounds great.
Atsushi is staring at Tooru, who has an arrow in his head.
Arrow: "going by coincidence"
Atsushi: That sounds great.
The whole mood of the room changes. Masami, Masayoshi and Tooru are blushing.
View of Shinjuku - at club lush
Masami: In a special case, we will be having one more person coming "by coincidence".
