Chapter 2

"Hey, Zero…" Someone whispered next to my ear as they jabbed me in the ribs with what felt like a pencil.

When I didn't respond they jabbed me harder until the point stabbed me through my black uniform. That had really annoyed the hell out of me, that this time when the person touched me again, I shouted loud and clear at them to fuck off. Yet, what I failed to notice was that this person didn't jab me with their pencil but with their finger.

"May I ask who are you telling to F-off, Mr. Kiryu?"

My head immediately snapped up to face my pissed looking math teacher, Mrs. Hoshino, who standing with her arms crossed over her chest and her left foot tapping as she waited for my response.

"Umm I…it wasn't meant for you, Mrs. Hoshino." I said honestly.

"Oh really, and who was it for then, Mr. Kiryu?" She asked disbelievingly. "Your dream teacher, perhaps?"

"No, Mrs. Hoshino." I answered then looked to my right where my friend Kaito was trying his best not to crack up from laughter.

"You do know that I must give you detention for this unreasonable outburst?"

"Yes, I know."

"Good, then I will be expecting you after school today for sure, won't I?"

"Yes, Mrs. Hoshino-…wait! No, I can't tonight." I quickly said.

"May I ask why not?" Mrs. Hoshino questioned raising an eyebrow at me.

"I have to help my uncle out at the hub, so I can't."

"Mr. Kiryu, I think that your uncle won't mind waiting a half hour for you."

"But seriously, I really can't-"

"Well, next time don't sleep in my classroom. Now sit down and this time actually pay attention." Mrs. Hoshino finished then walked back to the black board to continue on with the lecture.

After the bell rang for lunch, I sped walked through the halls toward the dining hall, all the while trying to ignore the laughter from Kaito in the process.

"Oh god, that was funny. Did you see the look on her face when you said the word fuck and swatted her hand away…oh man, that was priceless."

"Ha-ha very funny, Kaito." I mumbled sarcastically.

"Listen man, I tried to warn you. But no, you just go off and bitch at the teacher. Shame on you, Zero" Kaito teased me, causing me to glare at him.

"Hi, Zero-sempai." Two third years called in unison as me and Kaito walked past their lockers.

"Woo mama; did you get a look at that blonde girl's racks?" Kaito said tapping my shoulder. "That right there had to be a C-cup."

"If you mean, Yomi. Then those racks of hers are just silicon breasts, so don't bother."

"EH! How'd you know?"

I sent him a sly smile and was happy to see his eyes go wide with shock. "You dog, you banged her? Damn, why is it that it's always you who gets the girls. Even in secondary school, the older ladies were still coming after you, what in the world do you do to get that many ladies running after your ass."

"I don't know, I guess it's in the Kiryu genes."

"It sure must be, because I know my family doesn't have it." Kaito said, disappointment written on his face.

"If you want her, then take her. I already have my sights on someone else." I nodded toward a table by the large window of the dining hall in which a short haired girl was smiling brightly at whatever it was her friends were saying.

"Sayori Wakaba? You have a thing for her?" Kaito asked and when I didn't respond he continued. "I don't get it, why her? I mean, you can have all the girls you want in this school and yet, you chose her. She is so…so plain; I mean she doesn't even wear makeup."

"What's wrong with a girl who doesn't wear make up?"

"I don't know, it's just so weird and not only that but she actually reads books."

"Compare to the Dumbo looking clowns you be dating Kaito, Sayori got it all. The natural beauty, the brains and the curves of a goddess."

"Don't go being all Shakespeare on me now, Romeo."

"But, that's not what drew me to her; it was the fact that she was the only person who helped me get through the deaths of my parents and Ichiru. Sayori was my next door neighbor for twelve years before I left to live with my uncle."

The memories of their deaths hunted me in my dreams and every time I woke up, I would immediately call Sayori who had always seemed to know when I was about to call. Just hearing her voice was enough to calm me and she didn't even mind at all that calling her at the dead of night was ruining her sleep. Yet, that closeness we shared stopped when I moved.

Cross Academy was a school for the rich and the elite. Cross academy was split into two sections: those who wore the white uniforms were known as the Night class and those who wore the black uniforms were the Day class. The two separate classes are monitored by what the school calls perfects. Which to me were just annoying ass hall monitors who act so damn cocky. Well, all except for Sayori, who was also a 'perfect' at my school. The only time the classes joined were during the switch over from Day to Night class where some people like to hang around the entrance of the school or in the dining hall where the Night class had their dinner and the Day class had their breakfast or vice versa.

Even so, the Night class seemed to separate themselves from us during the time they had their breakfast or dinner. Well except for Aidou-sempai who always has tons of girls around his table and Ichjirou-sempai, who was too polite to turn anyone down.

In Cross academy, there are two separate dorm buildings called the Moon dorm where those wearing white uniforms stay and the Sun dorm where those wearing black uniforms stay. I share a dorm room with Kaito, but I also live nearby the school too. You see, my uncle and the headmaster are sort of together and we stay at his place. It's due to his influence that I got a free ride into this school.

"If you guys were so close to each other before, then why don't you talk now?" Kaito asked as he grabbed one of the plastic lunch trays.

"Well in secondary school I-…well, I kind of lifted up her skirt in front of everybody." I said with a blush as the scene played itself in my head.

"So you even were a pervert back then too, huh?" Kaito commented. "Pulling up Sayori's skirt and showing people her panties, how naughty you are."

"Kaito shut up, people can hear you." I whispered angrily.

Kaito looked around. "To late for that…"

"Huh?"

Kaito pointed in the direction of where Sayori and her friends were sitting. Staring embarrassingly in my direction was Sayori; her light brown eyes were filled with hurt. Once she realized I was staring back at her, she gathered all her stuff and stormed out of the dining hall.

"Sayori wait!" I called out to her before I turned to Kaito who busy getting his lunch. "Now look at what you did? You ruined my chance to ever get with her."

"Is that so?"

"Yes Kaito, you did." I said.

"Well I think you're wrong, since what I see is a perfect chance to woo her. So if you truly like her as you say you do, then chase after her Zero."

For a moment I was speechless that Kaito actually said something useful, but then I guess everyone has their moments. I turned around and ran after Sayori, this action brought up a saying my mother use to tell me and my little brother all the time when we were little.

If someone truly loves you as they say they do, then they will always chase after you.

'I wonder if Sayori will be the one chasing after me in the future.' I thought as I ran out the dining hall. 'Will I always be chasing after her or someone else?'
