Authors Note: Thanks for reviewing! (For those who actually did)
Az09: Yeah, Im making the beginning a bit fast so I could get the plot of the story starting. It should get interesting later. At least I hope it does.
Maomai: I'm making it different from the drama, so it's not a continuation. I am planning to write about a wedding though!
SarahNThachter: No, I wrote it so that they are both in the same grade, and the campuses are at different place. The reason why Tsukushi is a block away is because she already left the house, and then he arrived a few minutes later to pick her up.
Nothing really happens in this chapter.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, Yoko Kamio does. Well, except the plot, but I said that already. She's one lucky woman, I mean; come on, I bet she never found any cockroaches in her bath tub.
If we were a movie.

Chapter Two: Don't count on it.
Tsukushi clutched her head. How weird. It had a lump the size of a rock, and it didn't look like it was going to get smaller any moment. Tsukushi suddenly remembered. It was like it happened today. Well maybe, because it did happen today. That stupid Tsukasa carried her all the way up here, and decided to drop her. He was just asking for trouble wasn't he? She'd bet anything that he was doing this on purpose, to torture her until she could take it no more. Tsukushi felt tired. After all that sleep left her a little drowsy and dopey looking. Suddenly, the bathroom door opened with a slam. Tsukasa walked out with only a towel around his lower body area, and his upper-body area, was well, naked. Tsukasa took one moment to grasp onto reality and then screamed loudly. Tsukushi screamed along with him, and threw a pillow at him. Not like that would hurt him, why didn't she throw something harder? Maybe a lamp would have been better.
"Tsukushi you pervert! Stop looking at me! I'm way too gorgeous for you!" Tsukasa shouted, blushing a deep root of red. At this point, he resembled a tomato that looked like it would blow up any second.
"Why would I want to look at you? Besides, it's not like you have anything to look at anyways!" She was getting angrier and more embarrassed by the moment. It was like a tea kettle ready to boil.
"Nothing to look at! You are such a liar Makino. I saw the way you were ogling at my body, don't deny it, I know you liked it!" He said incredulously, flexing out his arm, as if to prove to her that he was manly. She walked over and pinched his arm.
"Look at all of this flab? You think this is manly!? I've seen kids who have bigger muscles than you!" She screamed on the top of her lungs. Then, she twisted his arm and flipped him. That should show him whose boss. But, unfortunately it didn't happen that way. Doumyouji was way to fast to fall for that one. He took her arm and pulled her up against him so that she was defenseless.
"Just in case you were wondering Ms. Makino, this is an awkward position for me too." He said, pretending to put on a frown face. But everyone could see that he didn't care one bit. Tsukushi wasn't blind enough to miss that look of triumph on his face.
"Let me go." She snarled. If it wasn't for the fact that he had in such a position that she couldn't do anything about, she would have made sure he would have trouble going to the bathroom from then on. Tsukushi would just have to wait till he decided to let go. Too bad it didn't look like it was anytime soon. Suddenly, someone up there decided to send a miracle along her way. Tsukasa's towel fell down. He grabbed it before Tsukushi got to look down and get an eyeful of whatever was down there. It wasn't like she really wanted to look or anything. At least she finally was released from the Tsukasa smelly armpits of doom. She was running out of air in there. But, she wasn't going to let him get away with that.
"Oh, Tsukasa, did you drop that towel on purpose? Trying to show off something aren't you? Well, my, my, my, what a big ego we have here! Next time, you should think of a better idea. Cause this one, isn't going to work." She said grinning her head off.
Tsukushi One, Tsukasa Zero.
It was like keeping a scoreboard. And right now, life was looking out great for her. At least at that moment it was. It sure was.
"What are you talking about? Besides, why would I show you? I would pick someone with a bigger chest than yours to show it to!" Tsukasa said, changing the topic so that he could make fun of Tsukushi's chest. It wasn't small or anything, but he felt like this was the only way he could get out of the awkward towel situation.
"What about my chest. Why would you care anyway? Besides, how would you know it's small unless you have looked at it? Oh, so are you saying that you are a pervert now. I mean, I would understand that totally." Tsukushi retorted. She was born ready to handle perverted boy conversations like this. Years with her perverted younger brother have taught her many things about the guy world. None of it was good.
Thank you so much Nii-Chan for your perverted knowledge. Who knew that it might actually help me in life one day? Tsukushi silently thanked her brother. She felt like she owed him something for educating her in this. Not that it was such a good thing to be educated of. She threw a grin at Tsukasa. Oh yeah, that had got him. In fact, it left him speechless. He just gave her a look, not a good one, and ran back to the bathroom and slammed the door closed. Tsukushi sighed. She ought to tell him to stop slamming the door, because if he doesn't, it'll break before she even gets to use it. But Tsukushi decided against it. There might be one day when she gets mad and decide to slam the door in his face. She just can't afford him using her words against herself. Sighing again, she went to her bed, if she could find it. There were clothes all over the place. Mostly Tsukasa's of course, she didn't even get the chance to unpack yet. Picking up a pair or flowery boxers, she had an idea. Grabbing her suitcase, she carefully folded Tsukasa's boxers into one of her secret compartments. No, she wasn't worshiping him by stealing his clothes. She was going to use them to blackmail him one day, and he'll be defenseless. The very idea made her laugh out loud. Tsukasa, who just came out of the bathroom, completely dress, thank goodness, stared at her as if she was a psychotic maniac.
"Makino, you better have a pretty darn well explanation why you are laughing like that, because it is completely freaking me out, im telling you. It is freaking me out!" he said demanding an answer, hovering above her like a statue. Tsukushi blinked. She made the hand movement that she was zipping her mouth shut, and throwing away the keys.
"I can't tell you, but don't worry, you'll find out one day." She said, smiling to herself. Oh yeah, he'll find out one day, she'll make sure of it.
"Right, whatever you're up to Makino, I tell you, it's definitely no good at all. Im telling you, you better forget it. My guard is up 24/7. I'll be watching your every move." Tsukasa said, as if threatening her to try. The consequences didn't sound so good. She could just tell from his voice.
"Whatever." Tsukushi shrugged. When that faithful day came, he'll be sorry. In fact, he'll be begging her for mercy. That would be a sigh to see! Tsukasa Doumyouji begging on his feet because of her. She could just taste the sweetness of victory in her mouth already. Life was getting better by the second.
"Yeah, let's just drop this. By the way, Tsukushi, while you were blacked out, you missed the first day of school." He looked at her intently, waiting for her to say something drastic.
"What!? I missed my first day of school already?" Tsukushi exclaimed. How could she do that? Life got from great to worst in less than five seconds. And, it was all Tsukasa's fault.
"Don't worry." He said scratching his back, trying to look casual.
"Why should I not worry? I missed a whole days worth of work. Now I will never catch up!" Tsukushi wailed. What a way to start the new school year. Now all the teachers would think she was a good for nothing gold-digger. She hated that, it wasn't her fault Tsukasa kept on annoying her.
"Like I said, don't worry. I stayed the entire day with you here in this room. Jeez, you should be thanking me." He said looking away from her. But she could tell he was embarrassed. He wasn't used to doing nice things like that, she guessed.
"Why should I thank you? For all I know, you might have been feeling me up while I was sleeping!" She said, making a disgusted farce at Tsukasa who immediately told her the reason.
"No! It was because I didn't feel like going to the classes. Besides, I already made this dorky looking guy copy all our notes for us. That poor kid as the same classes as us" Tsukasa chuckled.
"Wait a minute. How do you have the same class is as I do?" Tsukushi exclaimed. It took less than second for reality to hit her. Of course, he had "arranged" for them. She should have known better than to ask a stupid question like that. Now she was just making a fool out of herself.
"Let's just say, the name Doumyouji gets perks names like Makino doesn't" He boasted. What an ego he had. She whacked him; it was like an automatic reflex. She could do nothing to stop it, and personally, she didn't bothering even trying to.
"Well, I'm going to bed now; I have a long day ahead." Tsukushi said with a loud fake yawn. She wasn't tired. Not even one tiny bit. But then again, if you blacked out and slept for half a day, I don't suppose you would be tired either. But, lying won't kill her. She pretended to rub her eyes and crawl under her bed and pull the covers over her. Maybe if she tried sleeping, and when she wakes up, she'll find out that it had just been a big bad nightmare, and that everything was back to the way it was. Tsukasa apparently want going to let her get away with it. He grabbed her arm and pulled her onto the rug next to him.
"Don't lie to me you clever girl, I know you aren't sleepy one bit!" He said enthusiastically, like there was something to be excited about.
"Um, okay, fine, Im not. What do you want with me anyway! Don't you have to sleep too?" Tsukushi whined. Somebody saw her from this miserable fate!
"Nope! Anyway, lets play spin the bottle." Tsukasa said with the same evil wolfish grin that had gotten her into trouble in the past. Tsukushi groaned. What was he up to now? Nothing good for sure, she would bet.
"I know what you up to, you sick-minded boy! There are only two people, so either you make out with yourself or me, and it would only be yourself because I'm not playing with you!" Tsukushi said. You could almost see the little stormy rain clouds floating around her heads, waiting to throw a lightening and scare whoever came near her. Tsukasa dropped the subject, and tried to distract her by making what he thought was funny face. Tsukushi just thought it made him look like a mentally deformed ape. In fact, the resemblance was uncanny.
"You look like a fire truck just ran over you." Tsukushi rolled her eyes, and stuck out her tongue, taunting him. He crossed his eyes at her, as if he was declaring a war on who could make the ugliest looking faces. She rose up both her hands, surrendering. Competing on who looked more stupid, wasn't something she really wanted to win.
Tsukasa thrust his fist up in victory. What an idiot he was.
"I'm suddenly sleepy. I'm going to go to sleep okay?" He said, looking at her, waiting for her to say goodnight to him. To the hell with it, she gave him what he wanted.
"Good-night, Sleep tight, and have sweet dreams. Reality from now on isn't going to be that nice" She said, knowing it would be true.
"It is for me." His voice was barely a whisper, as he smiled with his eyes closed. But for some reason, those words touched her. It was like he didn't mind her company, and he wanted her with him. It felt nice, but not nice enough to make her fall in love with him completely. He was going to have to do better than that to get her heart. Way better. Tsukushi saw a weird brown shape dot on her bed as she was heading toward it, wishing for her goodnight's sleep. The thing was the size of her frigging finger! Holy—Oh my god! It was a cockroach! What was she going to do?! This was great, it was the perfect time to go to sleep Tsukasa, way to go. He had great timing didn't he? Always so lucky to avoid something like this. She grabbed the closest thing she could reach. Tsukasa's notebook. She shoved the bug into the book, clutched it and dropped it onto the floor, and began squishing it wildly. Finally, the book stopped moving. Tsukushi calmly put the book into Tsukasa's bookbag. Maybe he won't notice it next morning. Not at all, I mean, he probably won't ever use his notebook. Definitely not. The thought of the notebook never being used, and the roach slowly rotting away made her want to throw up all over again. Tsukushi went under her covers, and checked for more roaches. When she found none, she was finally content enough to go to sleep.
The next morning, in the classroom.
"Who put this cockroach into my notebook?! Huh? Answer me goddamit! I know who you are! Do you really think you can get away with this?! You watch! I will get you—whoever you are!"
Chapter 2/ End.
Authors Note: The reason why I said that Yoko Kamio was lucky not finding a cockroach in her tub was because I found one in mine. It was the size of my frigging thumb! I'm currently traumatized, and all from the experience. That's my explanation for this boring chapter. I am so sorry.
