Rivalry for Love

*Kaname*

The tall brunette walked down the hall of the giant school. Everyone showed respect to him.

"Kaname-Sama," a blonde haired boy called, "I have the notes on the new scoreboard."

"Thank you Ichijo," the brunette replied.

"Also the school board wants to talk to you about a new budget for the dances this year. They have scheduled a meeting today during lunch since they know you have chess club after school," the blonde continued on.

"Alright," came the reply with a slight nod.

"Would you like me to make a list of subjects that must be addressed in the upcoming meeting? If that makes it easier for you since as the student council president you have many more worries to worry about," Ichijo offered.

"Yes that would be very appreciated." Ichijo gave a small nod before walking away.

Kaname continued down the hall continuing on with his hectic day.

"Suzume-chan, how are you today?" Kaname asked as he slipped into a seat next to the strange girl.

Her long raven hair flowed down to her shoulders; neon lime green streaks were easily noticeable against the midnight black. Dark bangs covered her face causing it impossible to see her vibrant green eyes. A white button-down shirt clung to her form with a breast pocket that carried the Vampire School logo on it. An ugly grey, baggy sweater vest that buttoned in the front was open and worn only because it was school dress code to do so. A pure black tie hung slightly loose around her neck and a black and white plaid skirt clothed her hips and reached down to her mid-thigh with a sideways ruffle design to the bottom. Black socks that reached to her knees were also dress code along with the ugly black shoes too.

"Hello Kaname-san," the girl replied dully.

"What's the matter?" Kaname's red eyes flashed with concern.

"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just thinking is all. Nothing to be concerned about Kaname-san." Suzume flashed a smile to convince Kaname that she was alright.

"If you're sure," he said still doubtful that she was alright.

"So do you have a national Honor Society meeting today Mr. President?" Suzume teased.

"No that's tomorrow," Kaname replied.

"Along with honor roll assembly and match wits."

"Yeah that's about right."

"How do you manage your time?"

"Just do."

Suzume rolled her eyes though Kaname never saw it.

'I wish that I could show her how much I care for her,' Kaname thought as he stared at Suzume as she worked diligently on her assignments.

Suzume lifted her head and looked up to meet Kaname's gaze.

"What? Something on my face?"

"Yeah, your hair."

The two broke out in fits of laughter.
