A/N: Kyouya forced me into making a story for him. He said that he's had enough of being the third wheel in all of my other stories (that I posted and that I've planned to write) and so this story was born. XD That, and the fact that I've been reading to many ('ahem'all'ahem') of mylife'sboat's stories! This post is dedicated to her, who taught me that torturing Kyouya is a lot of fun! Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I'll tell you guys when I've been re-baptized as "Bisco Hatori". XD

Wanna Bet?
Prologue

"Excuse me?"

What the hell? Was his hearing as bad as his eyes were? Here I was, dared into going on with my confession but he wasn't paying any freaking attention. Oh joy!

"I said that I like you. Will you go out with me?" I reiterated a bit ticked off by his apparent slowness.

And here I thought he was a genius. 'Maybe he cheats on our exams too,' I thought at once. I would have to watch him more closely on our next test to make sure. For now, the important thing was his response but his entrancing gray eyes just stared blankly at me. Was he waiting for my punch line? Well, he better realize that there wasn't anything remotely funny about this. I was serious, believe it or not. I wished he would hurry up and grasp that.

"But I don't like you." He answered quite bluntly when he understood that there was no joke being played and I was seriously confessing to him.

Ouch. Wasn't there a better way to say that? Like maybe, "I'm sorry but I can't return your feelings." Or even, "You're a nice girl, I'm sure you will find the right guy for you." But this was Ootori Kyouya I was talking to. He would never – in his right mind – say such cheesy lines! If he had, I would have to reassess my feelings for him because the whole point of my falling for him was because of his coolness. I was glad to know that he was what I had expected him to be.

"Well then, I guess I'd just have to make you fall for me, don't I?" I retorted, not at all deterred. In fact, I wasn't planning on giving up on him. He didn't know me. Harsh words only encouraged me to fight harder for what I wanted.

"Oh really?" He sounded mildly surprised by my statement but I could see that he wasn't at all convinced.

"Of course! Wanna bet?"
