Chapter 2: The Unexpected Kiss

There was a good breeze outside that was perfect for eating lunch outdoors. The sun wasn't too hot either. Ahiru and Fakir sat near the fountain. Sometimes they would switch up their lunch spot, but because they had dance class right after, they had to be close to the school grounds.

Ahiru took a small bite of her sandwich, while Fakir was eating a small cheese bagel. He was reading a book, which was something he usually did. Sometimes he would read to Ahiru when they had nothing to do.

Ahiru looked at the sky and sighed happily. "Isn't really beautiful today, don't you think?"

"Huh?" Fakir looked up from his book towards Ahiru, crumbs on his.

Ahiru looked at him and giggled. "Fakir, your mind is always lost inside books." She took a napkin and wiped the crumbs off his face. He blushed at the contact.

"Well, this book is really interesting…" He bookmarked his stopping place and sat the book near his side. "Anyway, did you figure out what you wanted to do after school?"

Ahiru took another small bite of her sandwich. "I haven't thought of anything..." "It's really pretty today too..."

Fakir watched as the wind blew through her hair. "Well, maybe we could watch the stars together with Uzura," he said, turning his attention towards the sky.

Ahiru looked at Fakir with beaming eyes.

"That sounds like a great idea, Fakir!"

Fakir glanced over to Ahiru, then to her hand. He placed his hand on top of hers and smiled. Ahiru smiled back and they both watched the sky together.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a small rock hit Ahiru's arm.

"Ouch!" Ahiru said as she grabbed her arm.

Fakir looked at her with concern.

"Ahiru, are you ok? Is your arm broken?"

Even though it was just a rock, it was a hard object and could've easily caused damage to Ahiru's arm.

"No, it just hurts…"

Fakir looked around to see if he could find the culprit. There were a lot of people around that it was hard to tell who could have thrown the rock.

Fakir felt a hand touch his and looked back towards Ahiru.

"Fakir, I'm fine. It just hurts a little." "I'll be ok I promise."

Fakir sighed and rubbed Ahiru's head, gently. "Still.. let's get you to the nurse, ok?"

Ahiru nodded and Fakir helped walk her to the nurse.

A girl, who was leaning against a tree, watched as the two walked back inside the academy.

"It seems that didn't work." "I guess I'll have to try something else." A devilish smirk emerged on her lips.

Ahiru made it to the infirmary. She had a small bruise, but nothing major. The nurse put some ointment on the bruise and then bandaged her arm. Fakir waited outside for Ahiru.

"Whoever threw that rock at Ahiru is going to pay."

Just then, a girl with long blond hair and light red eyes came walking down the hall. In her arms were a bunch of books. As she was about to pass Fakir, she tripped, dropping all the books onto the floor.

Fakir quickly ran to her.

"Are you ok?" he said, helping her up.

"I'm fine…" said the girl. "These books are really heavy when you have to carry them alone."

Fakir helped gather the books up. "I'll help you carry them to the library."

The girl smiled. "That would be really nice."

As Fakir and the girl began to walk down the hallway towards the library, the girl secretly smirked. "Now I have him without Ahiru."

When Ahiru came out of the infirmary, she noticed Fakir was gone. "Fakir?" she said, looking around. "Where did he go? Fakir would never leave without saying anything..." Ahiru decided to check the library because sometimes others would ask Fakir for assistance when they were low on help.

As Ahiru stepped inside the library, she heard voices coming from somewhere. One of them sounded familiar, so she walked over until she reached the romance section. She stopped and saw Fakir helping a girl put books away.

"So, you do ballet too?" The girl said, handing books to Fakir.

"Yeah, but I like to write most of the time."

The girl smiled and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. She noticed Ahiru spying from behind the shelf and smirked, devilishly.

Fakir finished putting the last book away.

"There, all done. I have to get going now."

Fakir turned to leave, but the girl grabbed his arm.

"At least let me thank you before you go." the girl said with a smile.

Before Fakir could protest, the girl planted her lips on his. Ahiru's eyes widened at the scene before her.

Fakir quickly pushed the girl away. "What are you doing?!" he yelled, wiping his lips. The girl smirked and glanced over to Ahiru.

"I was trying to make that little girl stay away from you."

Fakir turned around and saw Ahiru with tears flowing down her face.

"Ahiru…"

Ahiru quickly ran away.

"Ahiru, wait!" said Fakir as he chased after her.

The girl watched as Fakir chased after Ahiru. "I won't let you have Fakir, Ahiru."
