Chapter 3: Of late mornings and push ups

One week later

Yakatriena's pov

As I ran back and forth I could not stop the tears starting to form from my eyes. I woke up very late and Matvey will be here any minute! I quickly brush my hair and put my hair band and buttoned up my white button up shirt, which would not be a problem if those 'things' were not in the way!

I looked at myself in front of the mirror. To may dismay it was still evident than I had just got out of bed. I picked up my hairbrush for another round of brushing but the door bell suddenly rang. I glanced at the clock it was 9:10.

I rubbed the tears from my eyes. I would just have to eat breakfast later!

Running down stair I saw Ivan come out from his room.

"Sister you have not eaten breakfast yet!" he yelled after me.

"I will be late if I eat and Matvey is here Vanya, I will just eat later!"

When I opened the door I saw an equally cluttered Matvey. He looked a little winded with tainted pink cheeks. It was like he was running from a yak. But he still managed to look amazing…

"I'm sorry I'm late Kat but we have to go! If we don't catch that bus were gonna be late!" with that he grabbed my hand and drag me with him to the bus stop. I looked back just in time to Ivan at the door with a sad look on his face. Oh silly me I almost forgot.

"Please get to school in time Vanya!" then I blew him a kiss goodbye and saw him smile. He is just so adorable.

As the door closed I focused on running with Matvey and I could not help but feel how his hand felt. They were not too soft or rough and holding his hand some how feels… nice. I sighed in relief as we got to the bus. We went I the bus and Matvey pulled me to the back were there were free seats. Noticing than Matvey was still holding my hand my face started to warm up for reasons I know not.

Matthew's pov

I sighed as we flopped down the seats. Of all the days to wake up late it had to be this day! Alfred that jerk! He didn't even wake me up! I can't believe he woke up before me! I barely had time to get dressed so I just grabbed a random red shirt and black pants and quickly brushed my hair (yes I own a brush! But it's a manly brush!).

I looked at Kat seeing that she herself looked like she had also just gotten out of bed and maybe it was just me but was she blushing? (Well it was probably from the run). I started to laugh and said.

"Did you just wake up too?" she looked at me and gave a chuckle and nodded. I was relieved to hear this; it meant that I did not keep her waiting! I was so worried that she wouldn't like me as me as much and think that I'm the kind of person who does not keep his promise.

Suddenly I heard a growl. At first I thought it was only from me because I had no time to eat breakfast, I started to blush in embarrassment. Then I heard another one. Laughing a little bit more I looked at Kat.

"I guess you haven't eaten either." She nodded shyly and turned to the window. The light outside illuminated her soft looking skin so well. I wondered how it would feel to run my finger over her cheeks. She was so beautiful, even when she looked like she was chased by a polar bear.

"Oh lookie here Lars, looks like Mattie has gotten himself a fine girlfriend!" I turned to see Gilbert and Lars approaching us. They took the seats in front of us and I waved at Lars who remain as stoic as ever. I wish I could say the same for Gilbert.

"What no 'hi' for me! That wounds ne birdie!" he put a hand over his chest in mocked hurt.

I shook my head said good morning. He looked Pleased and then a grin spread over his face.

"So this was the girl your brother was talking about!" I gave him a questioning look.

"Last week he was complaining online, he said: well more like typed. 'My innocent little bro is in love! He keeps on sigh and looking out to now where with a distant smile on his face! He is too young to be in love! I shall hunt down this guy or girl he fell in love and have a little talk with him or her!'" Gilbert closed his phone and smirk at me. I hate Alfred.

"I guess he was half right, though I was thinking you would have a boyfriend!"

"Dude, I'm not gay! Not that theirs is anything with being one but just because you guys say I look girly doesn't mean I automatically like guys!" I yelled at him. I heard giggling form the side. I felt my ears heat up.

"Well yeah now I know! I mean just look at you girlfriend! I she hot and look at those-"

"Don't you dare finish that sentence! Her name is Kat and she is not my girlfriend… s-she is j-just a g-girl w-who h-happens to b-be my f-friend." I ended up as stuttering mess.

"Then why are you guys holding hand?" I looked towards my side and saw that indeed we were holding hands. We quickly pulled away from one another and my hand felt empty. The Lars chuckled.

"They do make a cute couple." He said. My mouth hung open. I looked him in the eyes but he just shrugged and went back to being stoic as ever.

"See you even got Lars can see it! Just admit it!" I was about to deny it again but Kat beat me to it.

"He really is not my boyfriend. Honest! Although I really think any girl or guy would be lucky to have Matthew as a lover! He is very nice a-and well I j-just t-think h-he's -" then she started to become a stuttering mess as I did.

"Kesesese, you guys are just too cute, almost as cute as Gilbird!" I gave Gil a warning glare which effectively shut him up. Mean while I looked at Kat who was still red from Gil's careless comments.

Although it was a nice thought. Having Kat as m-my g-girlfriend. Holding her hand just felt natural. I wish I could hold them once more.

After an almost quiet bus ride (that was due to Gil giggling like a school girl every time he would see the effect of the road bumps to Kat's c-chest.) we got to school with a few minutes to spare but we were really cutting it close. After Kat and I said goodbye to Lars and Gil (as they were in the 12th grade meaning they were in a different homeroom) we started our treacherous journey up the stairs. We entered our home room class just in time before the bell rang. Our homeroom was one of the third floor computer labs and our teacher was Mrs. Edelstein. She was nice and it was amazing how she was able to handle my homeroom! Why is it quite a feat? Well maybe because there are only guys in my home room.

Oh crap that reminds me.

"Um… hello." Kat tilted her head in confusion to the side, much like how she did when we first met. Only this time she was facing a room filled with guys staring at her with their mouths hanging open. Damn it where is Ivan when you need him!

"Oh my god da ze! You're my dream Girl! Give me a hug Da ze!" Im Yung (who was the seating closer to the door.) said as he lunged at Kat. I bet he was just going to feel her up! I felt rage bubble up in me and before he could get a foot closer to Kat.

Normal Pov. (Yay~ it's my first normal pov in this fic!)

Before the enthusiastic Korean boy could get any closer, Kat was pulled out of the room and the boy was suddenly grabbed by the face and shoved back to the spiny chair he came from that crashed back to desk. He didn't even have time to process what was going on before Matthew was immediately in front him.

"What the hell did you was going to do Im Yung?" Matthew as with a sickening sweet smile. It made every boy in the room grow pale. Every body knew that when Matthew smiled like that it really means he was royally pissed and you should start running for your life.

"I-I was going to h-hug-."

"You were?" Matthew interrupted the frightened boy's speech and if it was possible Matthew's smile got wider. The smile was just there. Daring the other boy to finish what he was going to say.

"N-nothing! I-I was going to do nothing! A-and your not going to do anything to me either right Mattie! Ha ha w-were best bros right?"

Satisfied with the answer Matthew stepped away from his friend and glanced around the room. No else dared to look him the eyes. With that he patted Im Yung on the shoulder and said.

"You're so lucky that you are a friend." With that Matthew pulled the momentarily confused Kat back into the room.

"Um… Matvey what was that about?" she asked.

"Oh…um… there was a bug. Yeah that's right a bug." Matthew explained while looking back to the rest of the class. His eyes giving a warning.

"-and I had to get rid of it." Matthew turned back to Kat and his face relaxed as he saw the amused look on the girl's face.

"Oh silly Matvey! You are acting like Ivan! You don't need to protect me from cute little bugs I can deal with them just fine!" she giggle and Matthew gave a small laugh of his own.

"Oh there you are!" another female voice resounded in the room.

Mrs. Edelstein was standing by the door while holding some folders. She approaches the only other girl in the room.

"You are the new transfer yes?" she asked and Kat replied with a nod.

"Great I was searching for you I was wondering if you got lost but I see that you had found you way here." Then she turned towards Matthew and smiled.

"And you Matthew, why are you not in your sit?"

"I-"

"Drop and give me 20."

"Bu-"

"No buts, you the rule for being late now do the 20 push ups before I turn it into 30." Matthew gave out a sigh and did as he was told.

"Ok not dear why don't you go and take a sit and I shall start handing out your time tables and collect fees and such we only have half an hour left before I have to dismiss you guys." She told Kat who was looking at Matthew with guilty eyes thinking that she was the one that caused Matthew the punishment. Matthew caught the look in her eyes and gave her a smile saying 'it's not your fault' in return.

So Kat made her way over at the seat at the back and as she sat down Matthew has completed his punishment and was making his way over to the empty seat beside Kat.

"Well done Matthew! As expected from the Captain of our Hockey team! "

Kat looked at Matthew in awe.

"Matvey plays hockey and you are the captain?" she asked him in whisper as she did not want to.

"Um yes, but its no big deal." He said as he turned back to his shy, polite and totally not dangerous persona.

"Oh but this is just perfect! Little Ivan loves hockey! Now you guys have something in common!" the conversation died there because then Mrs. Edelstein started staring at them.

"Matthew and Kat 10 push ups each." The teens stiffen and Matthew glanced at Kat, he could not let a lady such as Kat take on this kind of punishment.

"U-um Mrs. Edelstein um can I do both the-" a hand clutched his arm and he turned to Kat and saw her shake her head.

"I can do this Matvey." And with that they started the assigned task but not before a warning glare from Matthew to anyone who even dared look at Kat's direction while they were doing their push up.

After homeroom.

Matthew's pov.

You could say that I was surprised that Kat did the push up almost at the same rate as I did. I expected her to have problems because of her… well you know her… oh what ever! She said that they used to own a farm so she was used to manual labour. After that we were given our time table and fees were collected then we were dismissed. Classes started tomorrow so Kat and I started to classes. I thanked god as we only had a few classes in which with we did not have together.

We both had an advance course how ever she had Physics 12 on while I had Carpentry 12.

Normal pov.

There was a growling noise between the two teen as they were walking out of the school. They looked at each other and started to laugh.

"Looks like we had been neglecting our stomachs eh?"

"I believe we have been Matvey."

"So u-m do you want to got it somewhere to eat? I-I mean if you have time my uncle's restaurant is near by so um yeah and yeah and-" by the middle of Matthew's speech he was looking towards the ground while digging in his foot on the ground.

"I would be delighted! I hope it's not a bother to your uncle."

"Of course it's not! C'mon! I have met you family the least thing I could do is introduce you to one of mine!" and with that Matthew grabbed Kat's hand and started to pull her along in excitement. Though Kat didn't mind because it felt like that hand was always meant to be holding hers.

Zero434: Okay so sorry for the long wait but I had just started summer school and I love it! History during summer man nothing else could compare!
