Chapter 4

This morning I didn't wake up late so I got into class a few minutes early like most school days. Although something was out of the ordinary when I entered the classroom there was a huge crowd of girls surrounding one desk. I didn't really see who the person was but I chose to ignore for now.

Making my way to the seat and pulling out a book to read. It was really hard to read at first since the large amounts of laughing, giggling, yelling and some screams.

Annoyance! Why can't they just be quiet?! Go ahead and just stare at the guy for all I care. Just do the something that doesn't make much noise. There disturbance was making me irritated until the school bell rang. Yes finally! Bliss!

Large amount of girls dispersed to take their seats. I quietly sighed not making eye contact and looked down. Then looking back up to the side seeing Tadase waving at me. I blushed and gave a small wave back. I totally forgot he was in my History 12 class. (Yes I'm taking a class the grade 11 and 12's can take)

Hearing girls have quiet chatter of what just happened. Suddenly feeling some stares at my head. Trying my best to ignore them and saw that Ikuto took his socials studies book out.

Proceeding to take mine out I noticed something else. I partially see piles of letters in Ikuto's desk and all having hearts surrounding them. Love letters? Ding! He was the person that girls were crowding around. What is this, the emotion I'm having right now? I don't understand it! I feel somehow worried. About what though?

Now I was getting frustrated with myself. Then I snapped out of my thoughts hearing that our class is having socials studies project. It will be done by partners the teacher announced. I didn't really care who I would be paired up with as long as I can work well this person, I'm fine.

After he added that he'll give us 2 minutes to find a partner or he'll make the groups for us. Ready, set, GO!

I see that every girl in the room besides me was running to get either Tadase or Ikuto to be there partner. I couldn't decide if I was laughing inside. Hahaha those girls looked like a bunch cats on catnip.

I shook my head. I have to find a partner and just then I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see Tadase. My eyes widen, seeing that he may want to be my partner. He was about to say something but then my waist was pulled in by an arm. Leading me to bump into the person's chest.

I look up to see Ikuto. Who seems to be eyeing Tadase right now.

Normal POV

Ikuto then says to Tadase, Sorry but she's my partner for this project. Amu had no words to say. She was trying to process what was happening. Meanwhile Tadase kind of twitched who seemed slightly let down but then smiled at Amu.

He then said Maybe next time Amu. Amu blushed lightly and nodded her head. In a flash he went and was taken by another girl. Time was up and everyone had their partners.

The teacher then calls up certain students so they tell him there project partner. Calling them out one by one. Amu the teacher called out, Who's your partner? She replied Ikuto Tsukiyomi. After she proceeded to sit back down.

Every newly formed Ikuto fan girls gave her menacing glares. Amu didn't notice at all she was busy writing down her schedule for the week.

Soon every partner group was written down the teacher explained to them what their project was.They had to do a skit that ties into the Civil War and gives out plenty of information to take notes upon.

The class gave their nods for understanding of the project. Amu was full of ideas and just smiling to herself. Ikuto turned to see a smiling Amu which made him she looked up to see him smiling which made her blush. That she had no idea why she was blushing. All in one go, the bell rang.

*Time Skip*

Amu's POV

I just finished signing up for clubs since it was club day today. I question why it has to take over last period though.Plus they were also signups for the sports team. As usual Ikuto signed up for the winter boy's basketball team. Which he signed up a month ago and just started practice today. On top of that he is one of the grade 12 representatives working with Tadase, the school president. Lucky him!

I on the other hand signed up for the arts club and a volunteer group that helps elementary kids with homework, doing some fun activities with them. I'm also planning to join the volleyball team.

Today was Ikuto's first practice with them. He asked me if I can watch them practice since he didn't want me to wait for him outside, all alone in the dark. Waiting for each other after school was a promise we made. Unless me or Ikuto give each other permission if ever a certain situation arises.

The coach was perfectly fine with me watching them. When they weren't playing practice games yet, I took out science homework to be productive.

I look back up and the team was having a group photo. Ikuto was the tallest in the team and next to that were Kukai and then Nagi. They built up a lot muscle over the years. They look like male models! Huh...Why am I noticing this?!...WHAT WAS I JUST THINKING?! Stupid puberty! I shook my head and went back to homework. 30 minutes pass by.

Hearing the whistle blow and saw that there practice game began to start. Kukai, Nagi, and Ikuto against three other boys. Kukai has the ball runs as he's defence is right behind him and passes it to Nagi. Nagi swiftly moves around the defenders but then gets cornered. Making him to have no choice but to pass it to Ikuto.

Ikuto catches the ball and goes for a lay-up, into the hoop it went. I was easily amazed and left in awe. Then Ikuto smirked at me, I turned away and crossed my arms. Blushing since it was embarrassing to look like a child who was easily impressed.

They continued to play on their game, it was a fairly good game. Ikuto's team won though, I totally wasn't surprised at all.

After that a few more practice games were made. By the time there we're done the basketball team all seemed to be panting and sweating. They all head for their water bottles.

I was back on my science homework. My mind was focused; I was on the last question. The pen was about to write an answer but then someone ruffled my hair.

Ikuto! What is it? Saying to him in cool tone.I looked up to see that he was shirtless. May I borrow a towel? I forgot mine at home. He had the most innocent face on not thinking that I don't mind him not having a top on at all. I turned away to get my towel that I usually use for PE but didn't use it today, my face was burning up. Hiding my face so he didn't see how red it was and passed him my towel. It landed on his face and couldn't help but look.

He has a six pack and nice biceps, such beautifully toned skin. What is wrong with me right now?! My face is burning up even more, I turned away and started to pack my things. He smiled at me, I could sense it Arigato! I couldn't help but stutter my reply, Y-y-ou welcome! He looked at me but he didn't see my face.

Amu, why are you facing away from? Is anything wrong? I'm panicking inside, I don't know how to reply. N-nothings wrong...just put your shirt back on. Damn it! Why did I have to say that. I hear him let out a chuckle and can feel him smirking at me.

Then he hugged me and whispered into my ear Whatever you say Amu-koi. The basketball team we're whistling at this scene. Blushing madly and frozen, I didn't know what to do. After he untangled me from his hug and started he's way down to pack up stuff. Idiot! Always teasing me! Why do you have to play around with my emotions!? Calming myself down I proceeded to finish packing my stuff away.
