"I can't believe it! I made you say yes!!" Ran giggled. "Now all I have to do is to study hard."

'Oh please!' Rei cried in his thought. They've been together for about 15 minutes after he told Ran that he will be her tutor before the exam.

"Hey, you said that you will buy me something right?"

"Yes, of course anything you want?" she asked.

"Then, buy me a drink. I'm very thirsty." He commanded.

"Why can't you even say 'please'? But that's only for today. Wait for me here ok?" Rei watched Ran went off. 'Oh please help me through this!!'

Until now, he doesn't know why he said yes to her. 'That girl…' He sat down on a bench near him. He imagined again their closeness a while ago. Her eyes and her lips that made him lose control. Rei looked down on the floor and said. "You're making me lose control Ran…"

"Are you saying something?" Ran asked looking down at Rei. She's holding two cups of juice on her hand.

Rei never notice that Ran was already in front of him. Rei's shocked eyes at Ran and "Huh!?" was all he can say.

"You're saying me something right?"

"Uh… No! I…I…"

"What's that?" Ran asked again. She sat beside him.

He shook his head, saying no, and turned on the other side where he can't see Ran.

"Oh! I thought I heard you whisper my name a while ago." Ran wandered.

"I said I didn't say something. And besides I'm not crazy like you who'll talk to herself." He muttered sarcastically and turned to her.

"Oh! I'm sorry about that." She said with irritation on her voice, but turned happy for a minute. "Never mind about that, the important thing is I have a tutor now." Ran smiled at Rei.

Rei rolled his eyes. After a few seconds, Rei suddenly asked. "Anyway, why not ask Miyu and Aya to teach you?"

"They won't teach me. They said that they have to study too." Ran said in a low tone.

Rei nodded. "Well that is true. Can't you review alone? I mean on your own, all by yourself? If I were you, I prefer to be alone and study on my own."

"I can't! I try to read and read but nothing comes in my mind--"

Rei breathed out. "That's because you don't want to learn. And you don't have interest on it."

"But I have to pass all my exams…"

"And if you don't?"

"My mom will throw all my girly stuff and I won't see Shibuya ever again." Ran cried.

"That means you're grounded right?"

Ran nodded.

Rei thought for a second and promised to his self. 'And I won't let that happen.'

"But the fact that you'll teach me, I think I can pass." Ran tapped Rei on his back.

'She has faith in me? Did I hear it right?'

"Right, Rei?"

Rei squinted "Oooooooh, alright!" he said as he pushed Ran's hand away from his back.

"Yahoo! You really are great Ran Kotobuki." She praised herself.

"But! There are some conditions that you should consider before I teach you." This made Ran's happiness stopped.

"Conditions?"

"Yes! Conditionsssssss!" he repeated and corrected.

Ran paused for a moment and said "Alright then, what are they?"

"First, you won't tell anybody that I'm going to teach you especially our friends." Rei muttered.

"But why-"

"Because I said so."

"Second, my apartment will be our venue-"

"What!?" Ran squealed and stood for protest. "I won't do that!! And besides what will everyone think of us? That I'm your woman?" Ran crossed her arms above her stomach. "I won't do it."

"Then that's it. The deal is off." He was about to go when Ran grabbed his arm. "Wait! Why not try my place?"

"Don't you understand my first condition? No one should know that I'm teaching you."

Ran pouted. "Oh I see… but it isn't fair!" she cried.

"Ok then, so where do you prefer to huh? Tell me a place that we can be alone together and that no one can see us." Rei folded his arms across his chest, waiting for an answer.

"OH! Uhmm…?" Ran tried to concentrate and when nothing came to her mind "Ooooooooh… Ok then… to your place!" Ran growled.

Rei smirked. "Don't worry… I will do nothing on you… You're not even my type." He lied.

"I know that. You don't have to say it over and over. And the third one…?"

Rei sat again at the bench while drinking. "Schedule! When will we start?" Rei said after sipping the juice

"That's not a condition" Ran said.

"Just answer it…"

"I will be out for about 5:00 pm after school."

"Ok then, come to my place in about 6:00 pm but it's only Monday to Friday."

"What? But Saturday and Sunday is the best time for a longer review right?"

Rei shook his head. "I have a job. I can't teach you."

"Oh! How bad!!" Ran sat again beside Rei.

"How long does it gonna take?" Ran asked. "That depends if you're a fast learner. But I think that we'll spend five to ten hours." Rei said sarcastically.

Ran squinted. "Oh shut up! So, any other conditions, nerdy?" Ran asked.

"Here's the last one. You'll have to be kind to me. If not, I won't teach you even if you pleased me ten thousand times."

"Kind to you? Are you making a joke?" Ran laughed.

Rei smirked. "So that means that you should stop calling me that nerdy thing."

"I think, that will be the hardest" she mumbled.

"Alright! It's a deal then." Ran held out her hands to Rei. Rei did what he was supposed to do.
