Well, surprisingly enough people really do want me to continue this. Search me, I was sure I would delete it. The style of writing has been changed a bit. It would be too difficult to have the entire story in Tsubame-chan's point of view. The basic action will be in normal print. Tsubame's thoughts are still there, I've labeled them with italics. This way you get the best of both. To anyone reading this: Thank you so much, this is an unusual style for me, so I am very pleased that it attracts some readers.

What Was I Thinking?
Chapter 2
"Kuronoko-san? Do you know the answer?"
"A-ano, shichi?" (seven)
Tsubame sat in her math class, attempting to understand what exactly the teacher was saying...and failing miserably. The entire class started laughing.
"No Kuronoko-san, I'm afraid that is not the answer."
This is just great. I can handle just about any subject, but math? Why oh why did he have to call on me?
The ball rang and the students filed out of the classroom.
Oh, thank goodness, the bell rang. Only one more class to go through until I get to meet up with Shuichi. I should be mindful though. He offered his hospitality, I don't want to appear like one of his crazed fangirls. sweatdrop That's all I need. First I wake up to find that I'm in the middle of class in a Japanese school, then I find someone that I actually know and he takes me as a crazed fangirl. That would be just my luck...
She walked quickly through the halls in hopes of not being late. Math had started out bad, she had walked in right after everyone had sat down. Not exactly a good first impression.
Then of course they had to laugh at me. I'm so embarrassed...
"Itai!" She cried as she ran into something and fell to the floor.
Looking up she saw a tall man with odd hair and glasses.
Hahaha, now I meet Kaito.
"You should watch where you are going." Kaito advised.
"Y-yeah. Sorry about that."
Too funny. I forgot Kaito went to the same school as Shuichi. Okay, let's see, what class do I have next...?
Tsubame dropped her schedule, staring at it on the floor.
No. No no no no no no no. I HATE chemistry!
Grudgingly she walked into her new class. Three guesses who was sitting at the table closest to her.
"Minamino-kun?"
I need to be polite, I don't want to offend him.
Shuichi looked up from his notes.
"Kuronoko-san, nice to see you again. You're in this class?"
"Uh, yeah, that's what the schedule says."
Shuichi laughed at himself. "It's strange that I wouldn't have noticed that."
Wow, this is awesome. Except...oh man, now I'm going to look like a total idiot in front of him. Curse my luck.
The teacher approached Tsubame. "You're Kuronoko-san, am I right?"
"H-hai."
"It's a pleasure to welcome you into my class. Take a seat wherever there is an empty chair."
"Arigatou."
The chair next to Shuichi is open. Probably not for long. No. I'm not going to pester him. There has to be some other open seat...
Shuichi looked up and watched as Tsubame struggled to find a place to sit.
"Kuronoko-san?"
"Hai?"
"My usual lab partner is absent today, would you like to sit with me?"
"Hai, arigatou Minamino-kun."
"Please, call me Shuichi."
"Aa, Shuichi-kun."
That just rolls off the tongue so much better than Minamino-kun.
"Alright then, if everyone is settled, let's begin today's lesson."

I know, it's just as short as the first chapter. Sorry, but until I know for sure that people want to read this I don't want to write too much. If you liked it, please review!
