Hey, Will You Look At Me?

"Ne Kaito…..Kaito..? Grrr KAITO!" Aoko swiftly pulls the blanket off Kaito's bed and he comes tumbling down in front of her. He sat up quickly clutching his skull.

"Ahhh! A-Aoko, what was that for?" He yelled.

"Ah geez, we're going to be late." Aoko flicks her hair to one side. "just because I'm your friend doesn't mean I'll let you do whatever you want." She pulls him towards his closet, opens it up and flings him in there.

"O-Ouch! God you are so not cute! Why can't you act like a girl sometimes Aoko?" He retorts.

"HA? What did you just say?" Aoko's eye twitched and she can feel a surge of power flowing into her hand. "Kaito….You IDIOT!" With one mighty swing of her fist, she lands a direct hit onto Kaito's cheek.

"#^$&*G$&*)&(*$)JBD#)ND&$^!D!MOMMY!WTFOMIGODBBQ!". Kaito exclaims in pain while rolling around in his closet.

"Well then I'll be seeing you down stairs in 5 minutes." Aoko turns towards the door and elegantly walks out. Kaito places a hand on his swollen cheek and reluctantly stands up. He takes out his school uniform with one hand and then he walks…no limps to his bathroom.

"Ahh..geez, what is with that girl?" Kaito sighs and quickly gets dressed while brushing his teeth at the same time.

Kaito quickly dashes down the stairs to find Aoko standing next to his front door. She is looking around the house blankly while tapping her feet. Hmm, he hasn't noticed this before but hasn't Aoko's skirt appeared a lot shorter? Huh? He looks up at her face and finds that she is wearing a little bit of make-up as well. Eh? Her hair looks a lot silkier than before. Strange? Is Aoko in love with someone?

"Aoko!" Kaito calls out to her when he reaches the bottom of the steps. "Heh, let's go."

She sighs.

"It's about time, how long did you think I would wait?" She smiles a little and opens the door.

"I know you wouldn't just ditch me." Kaito winks and laughs. Of course, Aoko gives him a little glare and walks in front of him.

While walking behind Aoko to school, Kaito notices that her hair has gotten a little longer. It sways nicely in the wind. It probably feels really soft….it probably smells really nice too. Feeling a sudden wave of curiosity coming over him, he picks up his pace. He hair does look quite glossy but not the oily type, rather the smooth, healthy type. He couldn't help but satisfy his curiosity. Slowly Kaito raises his hand and softly touches a few strands of her hair. He feels his heart beating a little faster, he wonders why he's being such a creep and touching her hair. Kaito quickly lets go of the strands when Aoko turns her head around.

"Kaito? Why are you walking behind me?" She tilts her head to the side a little. "AH! You're not planning to play another trick on me right?" She raised her voice. The pink feelings he was feeling earlier suddenly disappears.

"What? Why would I do that now? Don't be so conceited Aoko, it's not like you're the only person I can prank. There are a lot of cute girls at our school you know." He grins goofily and walks in front of her in a carefree manner. Aoko looks at his back for a second with an expression of agitation.

"Grr Kaito, don't start thinking that all the girls are in love with you." She quickly follows him.

"Ehhh? Jealous are we? Oh but I'm sure I have more female admirers then you with males." Kaito cheekily laughs a little. "Maybe it's because you haven't grown anywhere since the 5th grade."

"H-huh? What was that?" Feeling shocked Aoko swings her bag at him. Of course he swiftly dodges it, turns around and pulls his tongue at her. "K-Kaito get back here!"

They run around trying to hit each other till they reached the school gates. Aoko breathing heavily with her bag in both hands, Kaito prancing around without a care in the world.

"Hehe you need to work out more Aoko." Kaito smiles and then runs off quickly before she can hit him.

Aoko sits are her desk staring outside the window with a vacant expression. She's been wondering lately that this relationship with Kaito is starting to turn into a joke. She is fully aware of her feelings towards him but she is too prideful and cowardly to admit it. It really hurts her sometimes. Seeing Kaito speak in such a carefree manner with other girls, seeing him laugh at her and telling her she's not a woman, seeing him look at her and knowing that he'll never feel the same way. These thoughts have been popping up lately, she tries to pretend that it doesn't bother her but really she wants to throw a desk at any girl who even approaches Kaito.

Ughh Kaito that big idiot, he's always teasing me. He doesn't even understand how I feel. Sigh..but it's not like he'll ever understand my feelings because…I haven't told him about them yet.

Aoko places her head on her desk quietly. She turns to face Kaito who is sitting next to her sleeping. His head is also face down in her direction. She feels her cheeks blush a fiery red. He was so close, maybe the closest they've ever been. Somehow that fact makes her heart sink a little. She hears some quiet murmuring in the background about how hard maths is. She takes a good look at Kaito's face; he has such fair skin and it looks so smooth. His hair is getting in the way of his eyes again; he really needs to get his bangs cut. Aoko lifts her hand slowly and moves Kaito's hair out of his eyes. Kaito's features have always been engraved in her mind. She is sure that even when she closes her eyes, she can picture him very vividly. I guess this is what love does to you. She sighs a little and returns to sitting up, listening to the same dreading tone of her teacher.
