Love Is Like A Rainbow

Liebe ist wie ein Regenbogen

The punishment

That Thursday morning, Tamao had to check on her garden. She hasn't been in the green meadow for a week and it was high time to water her flowers. An hour before class began, she went to her garden and checked that everything was going well. To her relief, the flowers weren't too dry. Tamao watered the flowers and added new potting soil. After spending three quarters of an hour in her garden, she washed her hands and picked up her school bag. Just as she reached the exit of the park, she called out a voice.
"Tamao, wait!"
Tamao turned to see Mr. Takeshi calling her from the window of his office. She went into his office and greeted him warmly.
"Hello, Mr. Takeshi! Why did you call me?"
"I'm sorry to stop you, but it's very important."
"Never mind," said Tamao gently.
"Thank you for your understanding." Flower experts "will take place next week after next.It's a competition between all the parks in Tokyo. "
Tamao listened with interest.
"That sounds very interesting."
"Yes, the price is very promising. The park that wins gets 580,000 yen(approx. 3500 euros)But the problem is that I don't have a good gardener who knows about flowers. And I am not allowed to take part because I am the owner of the green meadow. My park needs the money, however, because we urgently need new garden tools. "
"And you want to ask me to run for the Green Meadow?"
"Yes," said Mr. Takeshi, looking at her pleadingly.
"When does the competition take place exactly?"
"Next week on Saturday at 3 p.m. in" Tokyo Main Park ", very close to here."
"Well, I'll come then."
"Really?"
"Yes of course."
Mr. Takeshi beamed.
"Thanks Tamao. I'll take you to dinner too!"
"You're welcome. And I'll keep that in mind about the food. Okay, I have to go now. Bye!"
Tamao ran away so quickly that Mr. Takeshi had no way of telling her that there must always be two participants per park.At the same moment Horo came into his office.
"Hello, Mr. Takeshi. I wanted to ask you again what time the competition is taking place."
"Oh, hello Horo. It takes place at 3pm."
"Fine, I'll be on time. Who were you talking to? I saw someone run out of the park."
"Yes, that was the girl who owns the little garden. She will compete with you in the competition."
"Really?" Asked Horo, surprised.
"Yes, she promised she would come."
Horo was surprised and happy at the same time. He was finally able to get to know her.
"Horo, don't you have to go to school?"
Horo had forgotten the time for joy. He quickly ran out of Mr. Takeshi's office and said goodbye. He was already looking forward to the competition.

Anna had to smile throughout the class. She thought of Yo's face as he was in the garbage can. She was proud of her plan and that it had worked so well. But she wasn't worried about Yo's revenge, because she didn't trust him that he could do anything to her.But she never thought that he had already forged a plan. During the lunch break, she went to the school yard and ate her lunch there. Meanwhile, Yo looked as inconspicuously as possible in her school bag for her cell phone. He hoped she didn't take it with her. But he was happy to find that it was still in her pocket. He quickly wrote down her cell phone number and put the cell phone back in her pocket. Then he sat down and scribbled something on a piece of paper. After reading the paper through again with a grin, he went into the hallway and waited in wait for Anna. She appeared at the end of the corridor and walked slowly towards the classroom. Yo knew this was the right moment. He quickly went up to Anna and gave her a hard nudge. She stumbled back a few steps before she was caught by Yo. On this occasion, Yo taped the piece of paper on her back. Anna got angry."Hey, what are you bumping into me ?!"
"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and didn't see you."
Anna was amazed.Why does he apologize to me? He'd take every opportunity to get me down.Anna didn't worry about it any more and turned her back on him. Yo had to grin at the sheet of paper that was stuck to her back. In his mind he reread his text:
Anna Kyoyama, 15 years
Looking for a nice boy
Mobile number: 030756139

Yo had to smile all the time.Let's see how you deal with it, Anna! Anna was surprised to see the students staring at her as she walked down the hall. The girls looked at her with hateful eyes and the boys took out pieces of paper to write something down.[i]Are they all weird ...! They must have been infected by Yo. Anna didn't think about it any further and went to her classroom.During the class, too, she felt a lot of glances on her back. She watched Yo, who was smiling the whole time. After class she was packing her school supplies and was about to leave when suddenly something fell on the floor. Anna found a piece of paper and read through the scribble. Her hands clenched into fists. But she didn't have time to get upset, because suddenly her cell phone rang. She took it out of her pocket and saw "Unknown call" on the screen.
"Hello?"
Anna heard a nervous boy's voice.
"H-hello, Anna Kyoyama. My name is Sho ... maybe we want to meet? As I read on the piece of paper, you are looking for a nice boy and I thought to myself ..."
Anna cut off the conversation immediately.[i]Yo Asakura, you stuck the note on my back !!! Anna remembered the scene in the hallway when Yo pushed and caught her. Before she could cook with anger, her cell phone rang again.She quickly switched it off and wanted to run out of the classroom when Yo suddenly stood smiling at the door.
"So many calls? You really want to have a friend."
Anna couldn't answer anything because of her anger. Her hands clutched her school bag tightly.[i]Yo… Asakura…! With a quick movement she threw the school bag at Yo. This ducked quickly. Otherwise there wouldn't have been much left of him. When he got up, he was horrified to see Anna carrying a chair in her hands, which she immediately threw in his direction.
"Stop it, Anna!"
Yo looked into her eyes, which were glowing with anger. He quickly ran to the nearest table and picked it up. This served as a protective shield and the chair immediately ricocheted against it. But Yo couldn't be happy because he saw that Anna threw another chair on him.[i]But that's enough!
Yo also picked up a chair and aimed it at Anna. Anna hadn't seen his counterattack coming and the chair almost hit her.Just as she was about to launch another attack, a voice rang out.
"Anna Kyoyama and Yo Asakura! What's that supposed to mean ?! The class looks badly battered!"
Yo and Anna put the chair and table on the floor at the same time. The director, who was standing right at the door, was seething with anger.
"You clean up your classroom immediately and don't believe that that's all! From tomorrow you will both clean one room every day until you have gone through all the rooms in the school! Understood?"
"Yes", Yo and Anna answered at the same time.
"And woe to you throwing tables and chairs around again!" Threatened the director.
After saying these words, he left. Yo's and Anna's eyes sparkled.
"It's all your fault!" Shouted Anna.
"You started it!", Yo replied angrily.
But both knew that an argument would be of no use. They set about cleaning up the classroom. However, they did not take their eyes off each other and looked at each other angrily.
However, neither of them knew in the slightest that their feelings would soon change ...
