Warning: Shojou-ai, the paring is Rei/Minako, eventually, hopefully. If you don't like that kind of story, leave now, while you still can! It is totally AU and probably a little OOC. Read and review, please gives puppy dog eyes

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon, any of its characters, or anything at all for that matter. I do own this story however, but it's my life.

Read….. read….. don't look at Minako….. just read.

All the girls were in their normal study group at Rei's house. Ami was trying her best to make the supposedly inconceivable topic of math easier for Usagi, and was failing. Makoto was pretending to do her work but was too busy laughing at Usagi's attempts at learning. Minako was leaning over her math work. She was doing a better job at pretending to work, but when she brushed her hair behind her ear, it was apparent that she found humor in Usagi's antics as well.

As for Rei… well, Rei never studied in the study groups. No, the time spent with Minako in her presence was far too precious for studying. She had a crush on Minako. She had for a while. At first she just ignored it and thought it would go away like every other crush she has had. But this didn't go away, it got stronger. And now it was all she thought about. Minako was beautiful, caring, loving, smart (when she wanted to be), and to Rei, she was everything she could ever want, but could never have.

Suddenly a pen came flying from across the room and landed in Rei's lap.

"Forget it! I'm just gunna fail, and that's it!" Usagi yelled after throwing her pen in fury.

"Don't worry, you'll get it, the stuff on the test is never as hard as the homework." Makoto tried to console her.

"Try not to worry so hard, meatball head, you become dangerous." Rei says as she throws the pen back. She then goes back to staring at Minako. She's stunned when Minako's attention shifts towards her. Rei almost turns away quickly as a reflex but then Minako lips the word "Nice" to her in response to the pen and then smiles. Rei smiles back and practically melts inside. Anytime Minako says anything to her she melts. That smile. Those eyes. That voice. She wanted so badly to tell Minako what she felt, but she knew Minako didn't feel the same way. Every day she thought of telling her, and every day she thought of some response that Minako would give that would ruin things between them. She would never do anything to compromise their friendship, even if it meant hiding her own feelings.

"Ugh, we're not getting anything done here! Can't we just watch tv?" Usagi said, trying to find any excuse not to study.

"You know, it's kinda late, I think I'm gunna start for home." Makoto said while packing up her things.

"I think I'll accompany you." Ami said as she too packed up her things.

"Don't leave me here!" Usagi said as she already somehow had her stuff in her bag and was waiting at the door.

"Alright. You coming Minako?" Makoto looked towards Minako as she was getting up.

"No, I think I'll stay here with Rei for a little bit, of course, if that's ok with you Rei?" Minako said.

Rei's heart jumped into her throat. "Um, sure, that's fine."

Authors notes: This is my first fic. This chapter is short, but it's just the beginning and the rest should be longer. Please read and review because although the story is clear in my head, I'm not exactly a writer and I need feedback so that those who read my story can understand it. I'm kinda having trouble figuring out how to word it all. All of it will be from Rei's point of view, but some things just have to be said by a narrator, so I get confused, lol. Yeah, I'm stupid. "It is true I do not speak as well as I think, but that is true of most people, as far as I can tell." Ok, that's it for now.
