Hey beloved readers and followers. Thanks so much for reading! Now I won't say much.

Just for those who are waiting for my Pokemon story, I apologize and I promise I will update soon. Exams are around the corner, so I'll post 1 or 2 before going on a 2-3 week hiatus. Need to focus you know.:)

Thank you reviewers! Especially Magica Ring. Because when I read other maid-sama fanfics, I see your name in the reviews. So I can only guess you are a hard-core reviewer! Haha! But thanks for reading mine!

Chapter 1 - How do I say "I love you"?

"Hi Misa-chan!"

Thank the heavens! Saved by Hinata from another of Usui's sexual harassments.

"Hey Hinata! What a pleasant coincidence meeting you here." I waved back, stressing each word with much pretense, trying to stir someone. But that someone did not seem affected at all.

"Ya." He replied, munching on a tuna sandwich and a hotdog, while holding a cup of what-looked-like Coca Cola and F&N Orange. Woah, this kid is really crazy. Well, I knew that, but I guess I haven't seen him for the longest time since before the summer holidays. He took at seat next to me. Of course, I was sitting with Usui, duh. Heard that the back of the bus where there are five seats? Yeah. (If you live somewhere where it's not like that, then fine. Use your imagination.) Anyway, Usui made Hinata sit at the window seat, so he had to squash himself through the tiny gap between me, and the seat in front. I felt sorry but yet, I was kind of relieved, knowing that Usui won't do such things again in front of Hinata...or maybe he would to spite jealousy? I don't know. I gave Usui a pleading look, and he just smiled.

Maybe it was just me, but nowadays, Usui seemed to smile a lot more. I couldn't tell if the one he just gave was fake, but still...it was heavenly. I smiled back. Fortunately, Hinata did not notice this silent exchange of smiles and secret messages.

"By the way, Hinata, you do know we are going to be late?" I questioned him.

"Yeah...I know. For me, I kind of overslept this morning...Heh," He awkwardly smiled and scratched his hair, then gobbled down the hotdog and sandwich. Another reminder that he should not eat in class, please.

"Well, next time, you bet-"

*Ding dong* "It's time to go, Kaichou," The blond haired dude cut me off, but with a gentleman's voice. He extended his hand, as if asking me to dance, or to lift me from a fall. Honestly, I actually felt quite bad to disallow Usui from 'sexual harassing' me. I mean, he kind of had the 'legal rights' to do so. Er, right? So this time, I followed suit. I took his hand but he pulled me to him. Caught by surprise, I figured he was going to do something perverted again. But...he didn't. He just hugged me.

I hugged her. I don't know what came over me to do so. But I did. Then I let her go from my embrace. Taking her hand, I lead her out of the bus.

"Hey you! We're here." I looked at Hinata who just appeared a little angered, and at the same time disheartened. His eyes showed everything. We hurried to school, or at least she did, and scolded us to pick up the pace. One thing she wasn't aware was that she was still holding on to my hand.

As we reached the gates, she demanded we hurry. "Kaichou, are you sure you want to enter the school with our hands tied like that?" I playfully asked.

Then a faint blush, no, it was rose red, flushed in her cheeks. My heart fluttered. I mean, she was so easily teased. She immediately looked away, letting go of my hand. "Uh...quickly go to class." was all she replied. A victorious laugh reverbrated in me as I saw Hinata's eyes burning with jealousy.

"Ahhhhh...another busy day!" I sighed as I continued to do some more paperwork. It was already 5 pm and the school was almost empty, well except for me of course.

I cheered myself up with a hopeless, childish song. "Rain, rain, go away, come again, another day." And I couldn't believe I sang that for at least another 15 minutes. Like the rain, I wanted all these paperwork to be gone and thrown out of the window, but I had to do it. How did I end up like this...again? I sighed. I didn't intend to recall what happened. It was so...gahhh. Don't make me talk about it again!

After those 15 minutes of a millennium, I was finally done. All these paperwork. Finally done! Finally...Then, there was a shrewd knock on the door. GAH! Why can't I get some peace and quiet!

"Kaichou, It's time to go." A familiar voice came from outside.

Usui?

After seconds of silence, the door opened forcefully and a blond-haired dude appeared. I actually felt my heart race when I saw his smile on his face. AND I BLUSHED! I looked away immediately in embarrassment. He saw me blush! I mean, just by looking at him, I blushed! AHHHHH! Misaki!

Then a pair of warm hands brushed past my stomach. I felt a tug pulling me away from my seat. I wasn't completely aware of it - I do blank out every time Usui appears and gives me those awkward moments so I didn't know, until I heard his voice - his angelic voice, ringing into my eardrums. It was so comforting. Then I realized. We were together. Hugging. Alone. In the whole school.

I suddenly freaked out inside. It's like I wanted to explode. Can you believe it?! WE WERE ALONE! Well...it's not that bad. But I heard from other schools that couples in school alone do...it.

Just thinking of it made me want to cry. But I couldn't, however. His soothing voice still rang in my head. "Misaki, I love you." he said. And that made me want to cry even more. Because...he did not love me for my role or status or job. He loved me for who I am. Not Kaichou. Not Misa-chan. But...Misaki. Me. And I do love him too. No matter how much I said I didn't, I actually did.

"Usui..." I muttered. "I...I...lo..." But I didn't finish it. I couldn't.

"Shhhh...Don't say more. Let's go now. " He calmly shushed me, his words still as charming as ever.

Usui, I love you. But why can't I say it? Why...
