"I think I'm in love with you" ^_^ I love this song!

It's so cute and sweet =9

Mrs Millington is an English teacher by the way ^_-;

It's a bit weird that Usagi is doing English when

she can speak perfectly, but umm hey, it's based on

Japanese school ^_^; Oh.. but the teacher's name is

English... Oh crud... -_-;;

And do excuse the slightly corny fic title ^_^;;

A Love As Sweet As Sugar

ONE

"Ohhhhh it's the last day! Why do I have to

stay back to do extra work?" I wailed.

"Well Usagi, maybe if you worked harder you wouldn't

have to?" Mrs Millington frowned. "It's only two sheets

of work!"

I frowned back, but then looked down on the sheets of

work. Besides, Mrs Millington was usually a nice

teacher anyway. I might as well do the work.

"Has? Have?" I muttered, utterly lost with the English

language. "What? Oh, why do we have to learn English?"

Mrs Millington ignored my pleas and she just sat there

at her desk marking papers.

"Passed... past?" I frowned. "Past... I guess...????"

I guessed half the answers on the sheet, then handed in

to Mrs Millington.

"Done already?" she asked suspiciously.

"Um, yes?" I smiled weakly.

"Let's mark it now," Mrs Millington smiled.

She looked through it and I got 10 out of 30. Not too

bad, but not fantastic either.

"Usagi, I think you need to go to tuition classes or

get some help for your English. It's dragging down your

grades," Mrs Millington advised me.

"But I really am trying hard!" I told her.

"I know," she nodded and sighed. "Here, I've got a few

pamphlets for tuition classes. Just look through them

and talk to your parents about it."

"Okay," I nodded reluctantly and took the pamphlets.

I hurried out of the class room, eager to go home and

enjoy the summer break. As I left the room, I bumped

into someone who was coming in. I dropped my bag and

my pencil case fell out, crashing to the floor and my

pens flew everywhere.

"Sorry," was the careless reply and whoever it was just

walked into the class room.

"Hey! Wait!" I shouted angrily.

I looked up and met a pair of dark blue eyes. I shut up

immediately and froze there. There standing in front

of me was a very visually appealing guy. Very, very,

very visually appealing. Enough to make my anger

dissapear slightly.

"What?" he asked, annoyed.

"Aren't you going to help me?" I frowned.

"No," he shrugged, then walked into the room to

Mrs Millington.

I watched, peeking from the door quietly. Whoever this

guy was, had a split personality or something. I saw

him smiling to Mrs Millington and they laughed about

something as they talked. I frowned. So a junior school

girl wasn't worth stopping to help? Fine, not like I

thought he was good looking anyway..... I picked up my

pens slowly from the floor as I kept checking back and

watching Mrs Millington and the guy. I wondered if the

guy liked Mrs Millington or something. Not that I

could care less, but if he did, he was in for a

surprise. Lots of guys liked Mrs Millington because

she was young, pretty and sweet. But she uses her

maiden name for teaching because she doesn't really

feel the need to change it after she got married.

So not most of us know she's married. I kind of hoped

that guy would find out and give up on Mrs Millington.

It wasn't fair. Why do guys have to be so superficial

and judge on looks anyway? I tried not to be so

depressing and finished picking up my pens and I was

just about to leave when the door opened again and

someone bumped into me. I heard my pencil case spin

out of my bag and my pens scattered out. Oh great.

All I wanted to do was get out of this stupid

building!

"Are you okay Usagi?" Mrs Millington asked, seeing me

crouched on the floor.

"I'm fine thanks," I smiled.

I glanced at the guy who was responsible yet again and

he didn't say a word. The nerve of that guy!

"Well, I'll see you later Mrs Millington," the guy smiled

a bit, then hurried off.

Mrs Millington smiled back.

"Do you need any help?" she offered.

"No, it's okay," I smiled as I finished picking up my

pens as quickly as I could.

Mrs Millington nodded, then she turned to walk back

into the class room.

"Mrs Millington?" I called her back.

She turned around a smiled, "What is it Usagi?"

"Who was he?" I asked curiously.

"An ex-student of mine," Mrs Millington told me. "He just

came to visit me."

"Oh," I nodded. "That's nice."

Mrs Millington just smiled, then turned away. So maybe

that guy had reason to come and see her.... Oh well,

not like I should care anyway. He just happened to be a

good looking guy who I'm attracted to..... Damn.

I sighed and sat by my window after dinner. I watched

the stars and the bright, full moon. I was looking for

a shooting star, but I couldn't find one.

"I should get over that guy... He's just like any other

good looking guy I see. Not worth feeling anything for

because I won't see him again," I sighed.

But it was strange. I couldn't get over him. Usually,

if I saw someone good looking, my feelings would die

down after a few minutes and I'd concentrate on something

more important like what I wanted to eat or buy or the

Sailor V game at the arcade.

"Oh, get out of my head already!" I shouted, frustrated.

I kept imagining his face smiling and laughing with

Mrs Millington. He looked so nice and so sweet then.

I closed my eyes and felt a cool breeze through the

window. It was summer. I had all of my summer break to

get over this guy. And I probably would. I opened my

eyes just in time to spot a shooting star. I clasped

my hands together and then wished something I had

dreamt of for so long.

"I wish that I could find love as sweet as sugar," I

whispered, watching the shooting star.

I only managed to say it two and a half times, but that

was good enough for me. Feeling a little better and quite

satisfied, I lay on my bed and drifted off to sleep.
