Kanda POV


That damn moyashi… Because of him, I'm pretty sure Lenalee is mad at me now. Which means Lavi will be mad at me. Great, just great. Not that it really matters what they think, it's just that when Lavi's unhappy about something, he's even more of a pest than usual. And that's really saying something.

Whatever. It'll all die down in a couple days or so. But I mean, what was I supposed to do? He was showing me up in AP Calculus – I couldn't have that.

So at this point you're probably wondering what the Hell I'm going on about, so here goes.

After AP English, my next class is AP Calculus, which I was pretty annoyed to notice the damn moyashi follow me to. Since then I've unfortunately been forced to realize that we have every damn class together. Which is, I must admit, sort of astounding. As much as I hate to admit it, that means he must be pretty smart. But that honestly only pisses me off even more.

Anyway, we were in class, doing practice and review problems. Pretty easy stuff. After we were done, we were supposed to raise our hands for the next set. And he finished his problems first. That doesn't happen. No one finishes before I do. That's the way it's always been, and that's the way I intend for it to stay. Which now means I'm going to have to increase my study time, damn it.

And at the end of the class, seeing as how the beansprout and I were pretty much racing each other with the problems, the teacher called for two volunteers in a contest to solve a problem in front of the class. Now, I'm not usually the active, participates-in-class type, but my pride was at stake. So, the white-haired geezer and I raised our hands and got called out. And he finished first. Not by much, mind you, just a couple seconds. But still.

And afterwards, he just smirks at me. He smirks. And what does he say?

"Guess you're not as great as you thought, huh?"

So I decked him. I got sent to the principal's office for it, and got detention to boot, but it was worth it. I just suckerpunched that mother straight to the ground. And damn did it feel good. Plus, I'm pretty sure I upped my street cred.

Still, it sucks that Lenalee is gonna be mad at me over this. She's pretty much the only person whose opinion I actually care about. But no matter what she says, I was in the right. I was in the right.

I sighed. I was at home now, doing my homework for tomorrow, and even here that damn kid is on my mind. I wonder why? I guess… it might be because of his arm. I noticed it in school – his left arm is covering in a glove. But I'm probably over-thinking this. And why am I thinking about it anyway?! I should go train – that always helps calm me down. And I have to calm down. I have an entire year left with that brat, or a semester at the very least, so I have to learn to at least tolerate him enough that I don't hit him every day in class. That'll probably be worse for me than him, as far as permanent records and college applications go. Honestly, why do things have to be like this? I miss Alma… And that damn moyashi reminds me too much of him…
