Chapter 3

It was the end of the school day as I walked out of the double doors. I gave a small sigh as the dork walked towards me.

"So we're going to my place, right?" He questioned, a smirk playing on his face. I nodded reluctantly.

"Wait, let me call my mom first." I flipped open my purple phone and clicked on my contacts. I scrolled down to my mom's phone number. I clicked on the number and held the object to my ear.

Beep… Beep…

The line finally lifted, and I was met with a kind female voice.

"Hello?" Mom questioned. "This is Souko Hoshina."

"Hey, Mom."

"Hi Utau, what do you need, sweetie?"

"I'm going over to Ikuto's friend's house; I'll be home late."

"Is it the one with the long purple hair or the brunette?" She squealed into the phone. "I would be fine with you marrying either of them!"

"I'm not marrying either of them!" I shouted in the phone, my face bright red. "I'm tutoring the brunette!"

"Oh, he's cute!" She remarked happily. "Before you do anything, I would like to meet him."

"MOTHER!" I exclaimed loudly. "What do you think I'm going to do with him?"

"Oh, nothing!" She giggled. I could basically see her grin on the other end.

"Anyways, I'll be home late," I repeated. "Bye!" I closed my phone with a flustered frown.

"Is something wrong, Utau?" Kukai asked curiously.

"Nothing." He stared at me suspiciously. I glared at him in reply.

"Are we going or not?" I questioned impatiently. "I don't have all day." He grinned and placed his hands in his jacket.

"This way, Princess." He walked in front of me and led the way. I glared at him and caught up so I was next to him. I held my backpack on one shoulder; he threw his backpack over his shoulder like Amu. I stared up ahead to see other classmates walking by, glaring at Kukai or me. We both knew why. We were both considered popular; we had fan clubs and fan people. I simply ignored them and continued to walk.

We continued to walk in silence. I stared up at Kukai, noticing his features: perfectly tanned skin, emerald green eyes, messy auburn hair, and smooth lips. They're so sweet looking; I wonder… Kukai caught me staring and smirked. I looked away quickly, blushing.

"You like what you see?"

"Sh-shut up!" I stammered, annoyed. He simply smiled innocently. I felt my face heat even more. I quickly stared at the paved sidewalk for the rest of the time walking. I was lagging behind as he continued to walk at normal speed He suddenly stopped walking. I, of course, was not paying attention and ran into him.

"Ow!" I grumbled, rubbing my head. "Why'd you stop?" He turned around and stared at me blankly.

"What?"

"We're at my house, why else would I stop?"

"I can think of a million ways."

"Like what?"

"Maybe a "hot" girl was walking by."

"I already had one next to me."

"Oh really?"

"Yep!"

"Whatever," I murmured tiredly, "let's go inside." I stared at the four-story building.

"Wow…" I gawked at the building. The brunette opened the gate and held his hand out as a gesture for me to walk in.

"I know, its a small house isn't it?" He chuckled softly. I shook my head in disagreement.

"You're house is huge!" I said, smiling. I walked in with him on my tail. He took out a copper key and twisted it into the doorknob.

Click!

He pushed the door open and grabbed my wrist.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm going to be your guide; you will get lost without me." I understood and nodded. He walked me around the gigantic house. I saw so many pretty and expensive looking décor.

"How do you guys afford this stuff?" I blurted out. I quickly held my mouth with the hand he wasn't dragging me with. He chuckled lightly and smiled at me, a true smile. I felt my face darken; I quickly looked at the floor.

"My brothers are recording directors," He answered pleasantly. "They find people who have talent."

"Really?"

"Yeah." I smiled at him.

"You must be proud."

"I guess," He replied gently.

"Can we do homework on this table?" I asked, pointing at the glass table by the window. He nodded, grinning. I walked to the table with him behind me. I placed my books on it gently, scared to break it.

"Open to page 243," I demanded roughly.

"Okay." He flipped open his book to the page number.

"Do problems 1-12, and show me when you're done."

"But… That's too hard, Utau!" He whined, trying to be cute. "Can we do other stuff?"

"Like what?"

"Like this…" He scooted closer to me, his face coming closer to mine. He closed his eyes and leaned in. I hopped up, letting him fall on the chair. I quickly unzipped my backpack and grabbed my glasses. Then, I tied my hair into a tight bun. Finally, I grabbed a long wooden ruler.

"Why'd you do? Whoa…" He stared at me, eyes widened.

"Now, do your homework, or I'll smack you."

"I don't think you would do that… Would you, Utau?"

"Its Hoshina-sensei to you." I took the ruler and wacked his head.

"Now concentrate on your homework." He winced in pain and rubbed his head.

"DO IT NOW!" I shouted angrily. He yelped and started doing his homework quickly. I smirked in triumph and took a bottle of water from my backpack. I sipped it slowly, waiting for the idiot to finish.

"Finished!" He babbled, handing his paper to me. I had an evil glint on my eyes and slowly took off the cap of my red pen. As fast as lightning, I checked everything. I slammed the paper down in front of Kukai.

"WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!" I shrieked, drawing a big fat F on his paper. "NOW, DO IT OVER AGAIN!"

"Sorry, Hoshina-sensei!" He squeaked, grabbing a new piece of paper and starting over again. He finished and gave it to me.

"WHAT KIND OF A HIGHSCHOOLER ARE YOU?" I screeched, drawing another F on his paper.

"I see devil wings and ears," He muttered, grabbing another piece of paper.

"What did you say?" I said creepily.

"Nothing! Nothing!" He rambled, doing it again. The rest of the day was filled with me screaming at the idiot.

I stared at the time, 6:30.

"Its late," I announced, "I'll be going home now; if you can't do this when I come back, you'll regret it." He nodded, frightened. I smiled a scary smile and excused myself from his house.

I walked home, smiling.

"That was actually fun," I thought out loud. Il and El wiggled out of my backpack.

"I smell love!" El clarified, dancing like a ballerina.

"Shut up, El!" Il yelled, kicking El.

I smiled at them; I took both of them into my reach. They stared at me in confusion.

"Let's go home, guys!" I ran quickly, throwing them back.

"Hey! That's not fair!" They shouted in reply.

"Catch me if you can!" I teased, smirking. They flew after me as I ran.

"Come back here!" Il shouted, panting.

I smiled as they tried to catch up.

Today may have been the most fun day I've ever had.

A/N: Finished! Hope you guys liked!
