Author's Note: I haven't updated in awhile…=.= I kinda …forgot my …password. .
Sorry about that! … Anyway, this chapter is going to be two days after the last chapter's events.
The only reason why it's placed later is because I wasn't sure if the teacher talking about the test with the students was in the same day as….The boy dragging/carrying her back to class in the original manga (Boyfriend)
So I decided that it wouldn't be in this. So, yeah...enjoy chapter 4!
I've noticed since I've been here I like watching everyone. Their reactions are funny and help distract myself from my own problems just a little. Today was alright except we have to study for an English test.
The problem is I can't understand English…it's confusing.
If I don't pass it though…-
I don't want to think of that and so that's how I ended up at the school library sitting a table with about every English book they have in front of me.
Hours and hours of reading ….and I still can't understand it…how do you even answer this question?
How are you has what punctuation in this sentence "The teacher asked the girl what the girl asked everyone when she saw them…she replied "I always ask How are you." ?
A question mark
B exclamation mark
C period
"What's a period?" ….I should pay attention in class more often.
Well they always say if you don't know it …it's usually not the answer so I crossed out C.
"You do know that's the answer you just crossed out" a low voice answered making me jump out of my seat.
It's just….Shizuo….from class. Realizing that I scramble to act like I didn't jump just now.
I sit back down looking down at my paper and scoff. " I did"
"Oh, then why did you cross it out?…"
Well…what should I say next? None of it will make any sense.
So, of course I try to deflect the conversation away from where it was headed.
"Why are you bothering me?"
I can't tell what he's doing behind I only here shuffling and then a hand reaching over my shoulder.
"I need an English book…and you have all of them for some reason flea"
Flea? I'm not a bug nor insect!
"Then take a book Shizu-chan and leave "
" That's not my name flea"
Hah, did I touch a nerve?
"And flea isn't mine"
I retaliate and for some reason…this is getting …exciting.
"look , If you're going to fail something don't fail English"
I can fail any subject I want thank you!…wait …what?
"I'm not going to fail anything!"
"Liar"
"Would you just leave me alone"
"No, you don't get to fail my favoritesubject"
He pulled out a chair and pulled it next to me. He took my pencil and erased what I did circling C.
"What are you doing?"
"Helping you Flea"
"I don't want you're help Shizu-chan "
"Well you're getting it anyway "
I give up!…fine if he wants to help me so bad!…even though I do need it…
" It's raining cat's and dogs " what type of figurative language is this?
A metaphor
B a sentence
C hyperbole
He points to the question looking at me. "This one is simple…you can do it"
I look at the question for a couple of minutes.
" Well, what's your answer?"
He asks me…as I bite the edge of my pencil.
"…A?"
He gives me a weird look and shakes his head. " It's C"
I can clearly tell he was just being nice …he looked like he wanted to hit me.
"oh"
"next question"
How many syllables are in the word "table" ?
A five
B two
C one
"I know this one, it's B!"
"ah,…you got it right"
I heard the "finally" added as a mutter as he put a check on the paper.
It hurt….a little.
"I deserve praise!"
"you don't it's just one question"
"I do!"
"fine, answer another question right and I'll think about it"
"I will!"
I know I'm getting too excited.
The next five questions we do I get right but I have yet to per sway him to give praise.
"Please~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!" I whine.
"Shut up"
"Shizu-chan is mean" I pout quieting down before the librarian yells at us…though we have been yelling for awhile….
"Don't call me that"
"If you praise me I won't"
"No, I refuse to praise a flea"
"fine, have it your way Shizu-chan"
We sat in silence through the last question. I just pointed to an answer and he made some weird noise.
Did I get it right ?
He doesn't tell me as he gets up and just when I think he's leaving a hand ruffles my hair. It reminds of Kadota but when I look up Shizuo is looking away from me.
He's face is red as he mutters "good job".
Good job?
Was that a praise?
Heat rushes to my face as I look at him looking away from me.
"Library's is closing in five minutes…please check out your books and make your way out."
The announcer spoke out of the speakers and motioned everyone to the check-out counter.
"Want me to walk you home?"
That question again except for this time I didn't think….
"sure…."
….and I agreed.
He took my hand without him really noticing so I held his hand tight as he stated,
"Let's go".
Author's Note:
Did you like it? I thought I had them more in character in this one. :D
Thank you for the reviews, patience, story alerts, favorites, and the time you took to read this!
Review and tell me what you think of this story so far. Thank you again everyone. ^^
ps. instead of calling it a period Izaya usually called it a dot so that's why he didn't understand what it was.
