Thank you for all the reviews everybody! I need to put my other story on hold for a while until my other computer gets fixed. Yeah, sorry guys. But I could still write this one so here it is!
Chapter 2:
Amu's POV
"Amu! Don't be late for summer school!" My mother's voice echoed through my fantasy worlds.
"Mmph." I simply replied. My face was dug into my pillow and I had no blankets layered on me. In this weather, nobody would. I sighed as I slowly sat up on my messy bed. I really didn't want to change into jeans. Technically I wasn't exactly going to change though. The only pajamas I had on were the ones that Shana wore in Shakugan no Shana, a simple tank top and underwear. I only wore these kind of pajamas in the summer, so don't think I'm weird or anything.
I stepped out of my room with my usual cap on and a plain white shirt with my jeans that only reached my ankles. Without a word to my parents, I grabbed my skateboard and skated out the door. I'm pretty sure I heard a "Have fun." or "Bye, sweetie." though.
Skating through the park, I admired the summer breeze and the sun shining at it's fullest. Everything in the trees seemed so peaceful. I checked my watch one more time before rushing off and ignoring the beautiful summer scenes in the forest.

Normal POV
"Yo." Ikuto walked into the classroom with black skinny jeans and a plain black shirt.
"Aren't you hot in those clothes?" Kukai looked at his long black pants.
"Nope." He smirked. "I'm always hot."
"Tsukiyomi! Glad you could help out with the class!" The teacher said. "Now, for the first few minutes I wil need you to watch the class while I run some errands! Make sure they do their work an-"
"Sorry I'm late." Amu had to run all the way to her locker to put her skateboard in it to only find that lockers weren't allowed to be used during summer school. So she had to carry it with her throughout school.
"Whatever, it's just summer school, anyways." The teacher left without punishing Amu.
"Nice skateboard, loser." Saaya smiled at Amu while the class laughed.
Amu smiled back. "Not as good as your fake nose, Saaya."
She gasped while squeezing her nose. "I-I will get you, geek!" Her face went red when she realized she was talking weird from squeezing her nose.
A few people giggled.
Walking to the farthest desk possible from the teacher's desk, Amu set her skateboard under her desk.
"Ok, class! I'm back!" The teacher walked inside with workbooks. "You must finish these by tomorrow! No copying!"
The hole class graned as Ikuto passed them out. But when Ikuto handed each workbook, everybody smiled again. He handed the last workbook to the person seated farthest away from the front of the room, Amu. He carelessly dropped the workbook on the ground next to her.
She had fast reflexes from her video games that she sometimes played and reached to catch it, but when she moved her feet, her skateboard moved, tripping Ikuto, which of course, tripped Amu. They both fell, crashing to the ground.
Amu opened her eyes to see midnight eyes staring into her hidden eyes. Amu thought his eyes looked so..mysterious. Like a real anime character. That's when she noticed their position. She was laying onto him and looking forward at his tilted head. His head was titled upwards so even if he was laying down, he could see Amu's face, hidden behind her cap.
Amu instantly....blushed. She couldn't believe she just blushed. Like seriously tomato red blush. Like in an anime. Like one of those animes where the girl falls in...love.
Ikuto finally got back to reality after seeing Amu blush. Why couldn't he see her face? Damn cap. Wait. Why did he even want to see her face anyways? He suddenly wondered what eye color she had. What hair color? What hair style? How big were her eyes? Wait! What am I thinking? This is an anime or whatever geek here! He really thought he was losing it.
All Amu could do was stare at his eyes and blush. Stop it, Amu, she thought, now hurry up and get the hell off of this bastard!
"Don't touch me!" Amu said stubbornly, still red as she got off of him.
"But it looked like you enjoyed it very much." Ikuto smirked. Geek or not, he was going to take this chance to tease her.
"No I did not!" Amu turned back to her desk and picked up her workbook.
"Aren't you going to say thank you? You fell on me." Ikuto didn't know why, but this geek seemed more fun to tease than all the other girls he had ever met.
"No. And I only fell because you dropped my workbook on the ground." Amu sat at her desk and adjusted her cap.
"Playing hard to get, I see" Ikuto just couldn't help teasing her.
Amu's face turned red. "Just leave me alone, bastard."
"Tsukiyomi, I need you to run an errand for me." The teacher was oblivious to everything that just happened.
"Sure." Ikuto smirked out the door with his hands in his pockets.
Amu took a deep breath. What the hell just happened?! She had no clue, and she wasn't sure if she wanted to find out.
Sighing, Amu flipped open her thick workbook to the first page, only to find fifty calculus problems. She groaned and took out a wooden pencil. For the first 10 minutes, Amu just stared at her blank paper. She had no idea how to work the problem. Amu knew it was because she never bothered to do homework, just threw it aside and watched anime. Same with classwork, she never finished any because she never payed attention to the teacher. Amu was too busy thinking about a world filled with anime.
When class was over, Amu's page looked the same as it did two hours ago. Summer school was only 3 hours long, to her relief. And Ikuto was walking around the room, to see if everybody was doing their work. He never bothered to walk all the way to the back to look at Amu's though.
"Ok, class. Let me walk around and see how much you have done for two hours" The teacher started in the front to the back.
Shit, Amu thought. She was starting to get nervous.
When the teacher finally got to Amu's desk and looked at her workbook, she widened her eyes. "Hinamori! What is the meaning of this empty paper?!"
"She's so stupid she forgot how to write." Saaya got Amu back for talking about her fake nose.
Amu gave a quick glare to Saaya before facing back to the angry teacher.
"Hinamori, what have you been doing for two hours?!" The teacher yelled.
Amu stayed silent. What did she do? Stare at her paper for two whole hours?
The teacher sighed, not knowing what to do. Then, an idea popped in her head. "Tsukiyomi! Can you please tutor Hinamori?"
"Are you kidding me?!" Both Amu and Ikuto yelled in disbelief.
"Tsukiyomi, it will help your scholarship even more if Hinamori starts improving to an A student." The teacher tried to persuade him.
Ikuto pursed his lips. "I guess I could...."
"Wait! What about me?!" Amu protested. She did not want to waste any more of her precious anime time to get better in math, ecspecially with him.
"As for you, if you do not pass the test at the end of summer school, you'll have to repeat the eleventh grade." The teacher told Amu sternly.
The words repeat the eleventh grade echoed in Amu's head. She couldn't repeat! Taking an extra year of high school would kill her! Less anime! Less sleeping! More studying!
"...Fine..." Amu mumbled helplessly. She really didn't want to repeat eleventh grade. Nor did she want to spend any time with that bastard either, though.
"But I'm failing calculus too!" Saaya screamed out. "Can't Ikuto-kun be my tutor?!"
"Saaya, you got 6 pages finished already." The teacher told her.
"Bu-"
"I'm failing too!"
"Ikuto needs to tutor me!"
"I was copying off Rima's paper!"
All of the girls started throwing pleads at the teacher.
"My word is final! Class is dismissed! I expect the first 20 pages down beore class starts tomorrow!" The teacher flared and sat back down on her desk.
Groans were spread throughout the classroom. The loudest came from Amu, though.
Running to go home and watch anime, Amu started skating outside to her house. But Ikuto went in front of her and she bumped into him. They didn't fall, though. Just a hard bump. Enough to make Amu turn red while her face was dug into his chest. She quickly jumped back to look t him.
Ikuto smirked, but then that smirk faded. "Look, I need to teach you everything you don't know before summer school ends. I'm going to your house right now so I can tutor you."
"Can't you just tutor me on weekends?" Amu needed to go watch her anime.
"How are you going to do the workbook pages then, geek?" Ikuto asked her, not out of concern but in a teasing sort of way.
Amu glared at him. "Do you have a car?"
"No." Ikuto ansewred, he always got rides from his friends.
"I'm skating home, so I guess you'll just have to walk." Amu said smugly.
"That's what you think." Ikuto smirked and took her skateboard, skating torwards the woods on the right of school.
"Hey! Give me my board back! And how do you know I live that way?!" Amu started chasing him.
"So it is your house..." Ikuto smirked and skated faster.
Amu was really startig to hate that smirk. "Shaddup and give me my board back!"
"Try and catch me like a good kitty, then." Ikuto jumped over a log.
Amu didn't see the log since she was only used to skating so she tripped over it.
"Ow....." Rubbing her head, Amu looked at her knee. It was bleeding. Her pants now had rips on her knee caps. That really hurt, Amu thought. Her hands were scratched out and dry. And her shirt had many dirt smudges here and there.
"Hey, hurry u-" Ikuto panted, carrying the skateboard, but stopped when he saw her knee.
"You ok?" He bended down to try to help her, which made Amu turn red from his face being so close to hers.
Amu jumped up instantly. "I'm fi-" The pain from her knee shot up to her.
"Ow!" Amu limped on one foot.
"Yeah, you're perfectly fine." Ikuto said sarcasticlly.
He lended his hand and she took it without hesitation. Ikuto carefully placed both feet of Amu's feet onto the skateboard.
"W-what are y-you doing?" Amu turned red, standing on the skateboard while her hand was putting all of her pressure in his.
"Helping you." Ikuto replied as he climbed onto the front of the skateboard.
"Are you crazy?!" Amu yelled a him. "How will you jump over all th-"
Amu stopped when Ikuto grabbed her arms to wrap around his musculine waist. Her cheeks couldn't have turned redder, his waist was so warm and felt so safe.
"Hold tight." Ikuto smirked and started skating the directions Amu tried her best to yell out. Mid-way throgh the forest, Amu squeezed Ikuto's waist, just a little.
"I can't believe I made it out there alive." Amu stared walking off the skateboard when Ikuto grabbed her hand.
"You're knee's still injured." Ikuto reminded the sort of dizzy Amu now.
"Oh, right. I'll just limp." Amu limped to her front door to unlock the door. Her knee was getting better, anyways.
"Come in, already." Amu was waiting for Ikuto to go inside her house so she could close the door already.
"You want me to come in that badly don't you, Amu?" He smirked as he carried the skateboard passed the flushed Amu.
Amu ran upstairs and opened her bedroom door, with Ikuto following behind.
Ikuto looked at all the poster-filled walls. There were so many anime posters that you couldn't even tell what color her walls were. In the corner of the room there was a computer with all sorts of papers surrouding it. Clothes were scattered on the floor and on the bed.
Ikuto sighed. "Ok, open up to the first page." He needed to just tutor her a bit before he can finally go hang out or something.
Amu sat on a dirty shirt on the floor and fipped open her workbook. Ikuto hesitated before swiping a pair of socks across the room and sitting down in front of her.
"What do you have trouble with?" Ikuto asked her, looking bored.
"Nothing." Amu replied back.
"Then do the first problem." Ikuto pointed his finger at the first problem.
"I don't know how to do it." Amu scoffed as if he should know already.
Ikuto twitched his left eye. Was this girl mental?
"Ok....you're supposed to first........" Ikuto started guiding Amu on how to do the problem.(A/N: I'm not in calculus yet so bear with me!)
Amu finally got the first problem done.........after one hour.
"Oh, I think I get it now." Amu said.
"How the hell does it take you one hour to finish one problem?!" Ikuto had never met anybody so stupid.
Amu shrugged. "I don't know."
"But since I know how to do that, I think I'll know how to do number 2." Amu said the obvious.
"Ok, then do it." Ikuto said, another hour has been wasted already.
Amu turned red, thinking about what Ikuto just said. Ikuto noticed this and smirked.
"Hentai."
"Shaddup! I am not a hentai!"
Ikuto's phone then rang. Flipping it open, Ikuto walked outside of the room. "Yo."
"Hey, man." Kukai greeted his buddy. "Look, I just finished the workbook, ya wanna hang at the mall?"
"Can't, I gotta tutor the freak, remember?" Ikuto sighed.
A muffled "Shut up." was heard from inside of Amu's room. Ikuto smirked.
"Oh, I forgot." Kukai sounded dissapointed. "Aren't you done tutoring her yet though?"
"You haven't met this person before. It took me a whole damn hour just to help her finish the first question." Ikuto explained grimly.
"Dude, just tell her the ansewrs." Kukai said.
"Can't. The teacher will test you guys. I'll try to speed it up though." Ikuto said. "I'll meet you at the mall in an hour."
"And I invited a few chicks to come with us, too." Kukai was smiling.
"Nice, talk to you later man." Ikuto hung up and went into Amu's room.
"What was that all about?" Amu asked, her eyes glued to her paper.
"Why? Are you getting curious for me, Amu?" The way Ikuto said her name in such a husky tone sent shivers down Amu's spine.
"N-no!" Amu blushed. She hated how she just stuttered.
"Right....." Ikuto said, clearly amused.
"Shut up!" Amu lifted her red head up. "I'm done with number 2."
Ikuto set his phone on the floor and looked at her ansewr. "Pretty good for an anime geek, I guess." He tossed the book back at her.
Amu missed the throw and it landed on the floor, on top of Ikuto's cellphone.
"Since you can do the problem, then I'll leave." He had to get to the mall in time.
"Where are you going?" Amu asked out of curiousity.
"Do you really want to go with me that badly, Amu?" He asked in the same seductive voice.
"No I don't! It was just out of curiousity!" Amu yelled.
"Ok......" Ikuto said, not satisfied by her lies. "Well, Amu, if you want to know that badly, then I'm going to the mall."
"I didn't want to know, anyways." Amu said stubbornly.
"As much as I know how much you want me to stay, I'm going to have to leave." Ikuto smirked at the glare Amu gave him which was kinda cu-Wait! No! You did not just almost say it looked cute! Ikuto really thought he was losing it, and to a freak like Amu!
"Ja ne, Amu." Ikuto gave her one last smirk before heading downstairs.
When Ikuto walked out of her house, Amu rushed to the computer, completely ignoring her homework. But then a ringtone rang in her room.
What the hell? Amu didn't even have a cellphone. Then she remembered. Ikuto left it there while he was checking Amu's ansewr.
Quickly, Amu was about to rush out when she remembered her knee still sort of hurt. And she should probably change first.
Sighing, Amu took off her shirt and found a random shirt on the floor to change into. Amu then stripped off her ripped pants and was crawling on the floor, looking for a pair of jeans when somebody rushed in.
"I forgot my ph-" Ikuto froze when he saw Amu on the floor with no pants on.
Amu instantly turned red. "Get out!" Amu closed her eyes and threw the first thing that her hands could feel at the door.
Ikuto dodged the dirty underwear while smirking. "Was this all part of your plan to make me like y-" He quickly shut the door when he saw a skateboard flying straight at him.
A few minutes later, Amu opened the door one inch wide and handed him his phone without showing her face.
"Is Amu embarassed?" Ikuto asked playfully before he took his phone.
"Shut up!" Amu slammed the door shut.
"Oh, and by the way," Ikuto said before rushing off to the mall. "Nice legs, Amu."
Amu, on the other side of the door was starting to feel hot after what just happened. Her heart was beating faster than ever. She felt like what she felt when she fell on him at school. Her cheeks were red. The pounding on her chest got hotter.
Amu sighed. She didn't feel like watching anime right now. Grabbing her workbook, Amu did something she hadn't done in so long. She concentrated on her homework.
Ok, hope ya enjoyed it! Am I moving the relationship too fast?? I hope not..... Anyways, please review!
