Rei was sitting in fourth period waiting for the time to pass, she was always very impatient. Never liked waiting no matter what. Maybe my mind and eyes are playing tricks on me. She thought to herself. Tapping her pencil continuously on the desk as her teacher talked. She rolled her eyes and groaned out loud by accident. "Mrs. Rei am I boring you?" "Uh, no miss!" She said quickly seeing an opportunity to leave class for a few mins. "I just need to go to the washroom badly! May I go?" Ms. Alex eyed Rei down carefully and excused Rei to the washroom.

Rei ran out the class and into the washroom, turned on the sink and washed her face with cold water. "There that should wake me up a little." She stood there looking at herself in the mirror wondering what Jack could possibly be staring at. Her hair was curly, but not frizzy. She had put some anti-frizz cream in her hair before she left. Nothing was on her face, her skin looked clear. She turned around to look at her back through the mirror. Nothing was on her skirt and her curls covered all of her back. She turned back to face the mirror. Nothing is wrong with me so why would he be looking at me. Even if something was wrong, he wouldn't hesitate and jump to make fun of me. She looked at herself in the mirror and blushed.Maybe he does really like me. She started laughing as she turned for the door "Nahh, I'm just letting those dreams get to me."

As she walked out the washroom she tripped and fell into… (guess who? Bob! Juust kidding) the one and only Jack. Putting his arm around her waist he caught her. She looked at him wide-eyed, blushing and her mouth hanging open. "Rei, you need to look were you are going, what if I wasn't there to catch you. You could have seriously gotten hurt." She stood there closing her mouth to swallow, "I…I" was all she could say. He looked at her concerned, "Are you sick, you're face is so red. I noticed it before too. Are you running a fever?" Which his free hand he reached and felt her forehead, her cheeks and her neck. "They're quite warm. Are you okay." He talked leaving his hand on her neck. The bell to end school rang and she stood up on her feet, swapping his hand away, "I-I'm fine. Thank you." She said looking away. "Are you sure?" He said pulling her chin to face her. Her heart skipped a beat. "I said I'm fine!" She yelled and walked away.

After she retrieved her stuff from class she went upstairs to her locker. Catching Hale just before she left she quickly asked "Halee, I don't wanna go home yet. Can I come over. Pleaseeeee! So many weird things have been going on today." "Sorry, no can do chicka, my parents are home today. I'll call you later on tonight and you can tell me everything."

"Hey guys!" They turned to see Jack. Hale looked at her friend her was staring back wide-eyed with a face expression screaming "DON'T LEAVE ME WITH HIM!" "Rei, can I talk to you for a minute?" He asked. Hale replied before Rei could say anything, "Knock yourself out. I was just leaving. Keep her company too she doesn't feel like going home yet anyways. Later" She looked back at Rei who was now giving her the dirtiest look ever and winked at her and turned to leave. Rei sighed and turned to face Jack. "So what is it?"

"Oh you didn't want to go home yet?"

"Well-" He cut her off "I've been meaning to ask you this for a while" He looked down embarrassed. Her heart was racing not daring to say a word. "Here come," With that he took her by the arm and dragged her downstairs in this huge corner called the "eco pit". There were 3-5 huge steps that led to the pit, the wall was painted earth colours brown and green, and beside the pit was a little flower garden. They sat down at the edge of the garden and he handed her a second script.

"We're on page 55. I am Nero and you are the girl of his dreams, Enma. He loves her but they can't be together." She looked at him dumbfounded. "What?" She took the book confused. "I joined the school play and I need help with my lines." A wave of relief passed through her. "So that's why you've been giving me these weird looks and following me around all day… " She said lowly more to herself then him, but he answered anyways. "Yeah sorry, didn't mean to spook you. So can you?"

"Sure Since I'm already here." She thought for a moment, "how come you didn't ask Akira?" He looked at me kind of blushing, "Please just keep this a secret from her." Little did he realize as he said that Akira came up and was ease dropping on their conversation. Rei nodded in understandment, quickly scanned the page and stood up. Jack put down his book and took a deep breath. Taking a step closer to her, Rei stood there waiting for him to say the first line. Impatiently, then turned her back signalling for him to start the scene. Akira stood peeping around the corner.

"Don't you turn you're back on me." He grabbed her by her arm and turns her around. "Don't start! You've been hiding something from me for months. I'm your best friend we tell each other things!" 'Enma,' said raising her voice.

*Nero looks down*

"You stole it didn't you?" *Jack pulls Rei into his arms* "I've wanted to tell you this for so long." Rei blushes despite herself, thinking only of his smell. "Wha-" He interrupts her again. Pulling her face up to look her in the eyes. "I... I've loved you for all these years and never knew how to say it and now..." She pulls away from him still looking him in the eyes trying figure out if he was acting. "Jack.." her heart was racing, she felt light headed. Akira left them alone crying silent tears to herself, Jack didn't love her anymore. She know he had be acting strange recently. But couldn't figure out why. Now she knows…
