The nect chapter!!
A2's POV
When the teacher explained about Physics, Maths, Geography, blah... blah... blah, Riku started to talk with her new classmate.
"Hey, do you think the lessons are very boring?" Selphie whispered to Riku.
"Yeah, always... Physics and Math are terrible, but Geography is quite okay. Do you know, the Geography teacher is very cool! That teacher is my favorite."
"Wow, really? Is the teacher handsome, too?" Selphie thought of a handsome figure walked in the class by bringing geography book.
"Handsome? I don't think so. I think the teacher is beautiful."
"Huh? A beautiful -cool teacher? I think it's weird. I never heard about a beautiful man."
"A man? The geography teacher is a woman!" Riku said it loudly made everyone in the class heard what she said.
Everybody glared at her made her feel nervous, scared, and shy. Then the teacher walked to the poor student who realized how big the trouble that faced her is.
"Ehm.. Do you have a problem with your new classmate, Riku?"
"Eh,. Ha…ha.. nothing.. We were okay. I-I just told her about the rules in this school." she tried to make a better atmosphere.
"And which rule did you tell her?" the teacher asked her.
"Ah..ah.., a-about that we may not s-s.."
"Speak in the class when lessons." Selphie answered it without realizing that would put Riku in bigger trouble. Not.
The teacher looked at poor girl. His eyes make Riku felt that she was naked.
The room was as silent as a tomb for a few moments before the teacher shouted at her.
"If you have known that speaking when lessons is not allowed in this school why you have just done it?"
"I-I'm sorry.." she was too scared to looked at her teacher.
"Because this is your first time breaking a rule, I will forgive you. But, this afternoon, you MUST clean the class by yourself. Understand?!"
"Y-yes, s-sir.."
"I hope this is your last, Riku," he said.
Soon the bell rang. The students ran out the class except Riku and Selphie. She still sat on her chair, felt sad and guilty
"I'm sorry, Riku. I-I really don't know that the teacher would be angry" Selphie tried to comfort her.
'No, it's my fault. I can't control myself because I was so happy about having a new friend… You are new here; it's okay if you don't know about the rules."
"I'm really sorry…"
Then the girl held Riku on her arms, tried to make her comfort by her hug. The small girl is looked more like a little kid for her than a classmate. "I'm sorry too Selphie... I made trouble on your first day..." "Nah, that's okay."
A1's POV
Karen walked out of her class, climbed down the long stairs, walked again, and found Steven slumping against the wall near the school entrance. She sighed. She felt that Steven is so unlucky to like a girl like Riku because, you know, Riku's a really hard girl. But again, she wondered when Riku would finally realize her feelings. She walked towards him and said, "She's still in class, had to clean up the class new girl said. If you want to, just go and check her up." before he could even ask her Riku's whereabouts.
He wasn't startled, being the real smart and observer guy. He just nodded and pulled himself up and walked towards the stairs.
Karen watched him until he was out of sight and sighed yet again. Why doesn't he ever give up?
She walked out of the building and was soon joined by Seth. They walked together until they had to part ways. (A/N1: it's not a really important part, actually. But, oh well...)
Steven went to his not-so-secret crush's class and popped his head into the class through the small gap between the door and the wall. He watched. She was cleaning, really cleaning, something she would so rarely do and she tried to avoid at all costs. This thought made him smirk and he jumped into the class. It made her yelp, not scream. Riku Reiroku has too much pride to scream because of a small thing like that.
"Hey, doing fine?" he asked evilly.
"Yeah."
"Really? I can't really understand what you mean by 'yeah'." He commented, seeing the piles of stuff Riku was not able to clean up tidily. She blushed a little and scoffed.
"What are you doing here?" she asked, almost desperately, trying to change the subject.
"Picking you up. I do want to go home-"
"Then why don't you go home instead of watching me here?" she cut him off.
He continued, "but I don't wanna go without walking you home." She blushed more. Why does he keep saying those silly things?
"And, shouldn't you be asking me to help so you can go home faster?" He smirked. Damn him and his smirk, thought Riku.
"The teacher commanded me to do this alone." She put the stress on the word 'alone'.
"But he didn't say that you can't ask for help, right?"
"Well... he didn't say that..."
"That means I can help you, if you ask me."
"Yes, but I would prefer to do this alone, thank you."
"Aah... Yes, Riku and her big, big pride..." he said as if he just realized it now.
"What did you say?" she snapped. But she didn't get to see his smirk as on precisely on that time, Selphie came in.
"Hey, Riku! I bought you some- Oh. Hi, my name's Selphie. I just transferred here. Nice to meet you."
"Steven. Nice to meet you too. So, you're that new girl Karen was talking about. Do you need any help to find the classrooms here?" Steven gave her a smile he gives to every girl and Selphie smiled back. Then she turned to the for-a-minute-ignored Riku.
"So, do you want coke or juice?" she asked Riku.
"I'll have juice." Riku replied, taking the juice box from the questioner.
Then a phone rang. The girls automatically looked around to see whose phone it was because the ringing tone was "Disarray" by LifeHouse. Then Steven took his phone out and answered it. "Hello? Yeah... yes... yes... yes, I'll be there. Don't worry, dad... Okay, bye."
Selphie was beaming after Steven closed his phone, her eyes sparkling. "Where did you download that song?!"
"What? Oh, Eeh.. I found it in the internet. I can give you the address, but I've got to run. I have to attend a... an event. So, bye Riku, and Selphie!"
"Don't forget! Bye!" "Bye, Steven." Riku said monotonely.
Then, once again, Selphie turned to Riku and asked, "Who is his father? Steven seems to be real busy."
"His dad's the president of Devon Corp. And Steven's the only heir. So, he's been trained so he wouldn't mess up when the president retires. That's why he's such a good boy."
"Really? THAT is really cool! But, did Steven object to continue his father's footsteps?"
"Not that I know. But I guess his dad's to kind of a person for Steven to object. And he never really complained, actually."
"What a good guy..."
"I know." she said, not full-heartedly.
"You're really lucky to have a guy like him, Riku."
"I- WHAT?! What do you mean by that?"
"Oh, Nothing" she said playfully, then drinking her coke.
