Chapter Two:

The end of the day couldn't have come closer, the four of us waited around for Amy's computer class to finish, I checked my watch, I was sure hat everyone had seen who was playing who in the play.

"I will be back, just need to check on something." I said. I got to my feet gracefully and headed to the main hallway. I was right, it was empty.

I walked up and looked for the notice for the upcoming play. I read through to find my name. I found it a lot sooner, it was towards the top. I followed to see which part I had gotten. I almost fainted when I saw that it was Juliet. How did I even get it? I didn't even do that well.

I looked down one and saw Kai Hiwatari. I giggled when I saw that he had gotten Romeo.

I kept looking down the list, maybe I could fake something and swap with, Hilary? Who was that again?

I shrugged and couldn't remember, I walked back to meet the others and sat down on the grass, we had another fifteen minuets until Amy finished and then we had training. Serena was currently snoozing away the school woes. Mina had her head in her sketch pad, working on her fashion line. Lita was soaking up the sun, she smiled when she saw me.

"Sooooo?" she asked.

I looked away and then cleared my throat.

"I am going to be Juliet." I announced.

The girls cheered, Serena was woken up and asked what was going on.

"Meatball head, I am playing Juliet!" I informed her.

The girls jumped up, squealing and hugged me. I got congratulations. We were finally united with Amy and headed to the temple, it was the most privacy we would get. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were going to be joining us. We could pair up and practice some basic moves. We met up with the other three and walked in a group of eight. I was talking to Michelle about the upcoming play.

"Yeah Romeo is being played by Kai Hiwatari."

"Kai hey? Very nice and funny too."

I looked at her confused, she smiled and gestured for me to come closer.

"We are in a few classes together, he is actually my age. We have to take an extra class with year 11. we are classified 11A. I took music, Trista took Science and Amara sports."

"I thought Kai was cold?" I said getting all confused.

Were the rumours just that? Rumours? Then I thought back, he did seem cold when I talked to him earlier. He didn't smile.

"He is but I too am an unsocial person, we get along for that fact. We sit together at the back, he is a genius, probably in line with Amy."

I gaped, no one was ever in line with Amy, well in our year anyway.

"Really?"

"Yeah, I usually ask him when I need help and being in the top classes, that is a fair bit."

we spent most the time talking about the upcoming exams. I had already asked Amy to help tutor me, we still did study buddies of course, I just wanted extra help. Good thing Amy loved studying.

We made it to my temple in no time and transformed, as Sailors, we had a bit more strength then usual plus agility and stamina.

O.O.O.O.O.O.O

The next day at school, everyone in our year was talking about the play, I heard some whispers about me but ignored them, if I started caring what they thought then I would get upset. I had been told we had an assembly, I had walked in with Lita, I lost it laughing when she had told me her new joke. We took our seats, I hadn't stopped the giggling, it was too funny. I looked around to see who else was going to be here. I saw Michelle and Kai walking in together. They seemed to be in conversation, Michelle smiled and waved at me, I gave a small wave back when they both were looking at me.

"Hey Rei, how are you?" I turned back to see Jed, he was a cute guy who was in the same classes as I was.

"I am good thanks and you?"

I made room for him to sit beside me, we started to talk about our classes. We were brought to attention, we had been told that one our teachers had been in accident and today will become a free day. Those of us under 16 and under had to remain here unless we had permission to leave. The crowd broke out in conversation as the principal left.

"Can you believe that?" Jed asked.

"Not really, I hope Mr Bake is alright." I said frowning. It sounded a little fishy to me. I looked at the others, they knew something was up too.

We started to walk and talk about what we thought.

"Heartsnatchers?"

"Sounds like it." I said in my serious voice.

"Mina and I will head to the hospital since she volunteers" there." Lita said.

I nodded, we were forming a plan.

"I will get Luna and Artemis and check the place to remake a digital profile." Amy said.

"Ok and I will..."

"Meatballhead, don't you have to study?" I suggested. She grumbled.

"Come on Rei lighten up." Serena grumbled.

"Why don't you go and see Darien." I suggested.

"Great idea, I shall call him right now!" she hurried off to call her precious Darien. I watched after her smiling. Sometimes I wished I had someone.

I walked by myself to the outdoors, sunshine will do me the world of good, I knew Grandpa wouldn't let me take the day off so I pulled out my Maths.

"YUCK!" I complained after starring at the same equation for ten minuets.

"The answer is negative 10" a male voice said behind me.

I turned back to see the two toned bluenette standing behind me. I wrote the answer down a little confused at how he got that.

"It's simple, you add it all together..." he took a seat and took my pen, he started to write out the steps on my spare notes.

"..then you divide t by your first number, and then time by 2 because that was in the equation..."

"But why negative ten, that's just ten."

"I wasn't finished yet, you then have to understand that the answer will be negative because the question is a negative."

I was slowly starting to get it, he explained it all again before I really got what he was saying.

"Thanks for that, was stuck on it for hours."

"Your welcome."

we stayed silent for a few minuets, surprisingly it didn't feel awkward.

"Do you need any more help?" he asked. He was looking down at my maths book.

I bit my lip, I remembered what Michelle said, he was smart, very smart. I decided why not since he offered to help.

"You any good at Physics?"

"I like Physics." he replied.

I smiled and pulled out my massive Physics book. I opened it up and handed over my assignment.

"Is it right in me saying that?" I asked while he read through it. He was focused in it and took my pen again. He started to fix a few things up.

"I take it you don't like Physics either?" he looked at me from my work, waiting for my response.

"Not overly. I like English Lit and Drama plus I don't mind sport."

He nodded and went back to my work, turned out I was way off with my equations and answers.

"I AM SO AWESOME!" came a high pitched voice, I turned to see and small little blue haired girl, she reminded me a little of Rini, I was starting to miss her a lot now.

"So irritating." I heard Kai mumble.

"She's not actually." I retorted.

He looked at me a little taken back, probably because I had heard what he had said. With all that I had been through, I had great hearing.

"What makes you say that?" he asked.

I turned back and we were both starring at her. I pictured Rini and smiled.

"She reminds me of someone. The bubble energy is a great influence. We could all use it from time to time. Plus she has that no fear attitude which is also a bonus."

"I see." was all he said. I turned back to him.

We started to talk about the play and how much we didn't want to do it. I had put away my homework reluctantly. There were a few more questions I needed help with but I guess I would ask Amy.

"I'm Kai." he said holding out his hand.

"Rei." I said taking it and shaking it.
