Latter from the last chapter:"Oh God, please make it stop!" I whispered to myself, stomping the table.Kimiko got distracted again by my acts."Ringo! What is it?" She asked, annoyed."There was an ant. A big ant!" I shouted at him."Be nice. Now get serious."When will this end?!! Until the end of the class, he was staring at me like a freak! I'm not an animal!!!My note: We're animals, we're just capable of doing things that animals can't, Ringo. (LOL)

Chapter 4:
*Kin Kan Kun* (Sound of school bells)
"Oh, finally!!!" I shouted as soon as Kimiko-sensei told us "Okay, class. You may go home now. Remember, be good girls and boys at the train!" Yeah, what are we, kindergarten?!
I stood up quickly to escape Shichi's freaky staring acts at me. I took my light-blue bag up and wore it at my back, but when I am about to hold the knob of our sliding door, Kimiko-sensei blocked the way.
"Eh?Kimiko-sensei…is there a problem?"
"Yes. You are going to stay here until 5:00 p.m."
"But it's 4:00! What am I going to do here?" I asked her, my voice was loud that I can't even control my annoyance.
"To kill boredom, and as you're punishment for being rude to the new student, Shichi, and so do you, Shichi-kun!"
Shichi got startled as he was walking to pass through the door."What? Me? Why? Huh?" He asked, confused just like me.
"I'm sorry, Shichi-kun. It's your first day. But we have our own rules here, new and old students should treat each other nicely. But you didn't. So you and Ringo-san will be cleaning the classroom." Kimiko explained thoroughly.
"What?! Clean this place? Are you kidding? I have a–" I said, shocked.
"No excuses, woman." Kimiko said as she turned her back to us and went straight to the female faculty room, leaving us dumbfounded and totally irritated.
I found Shichi still staring at me like an IDIOT.
"Are you trying to harass me?!" I shouted at him, angrily while stomping my foot over his.
"OW! Hey! Harrass you?! What do you think I am?! A person with OCD?!" Shichi uttered, annoyed while wiping the blackboard.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Does that offend you, maniac? Why the hell do you keep on staring at me?! Well?!" replied back, annoying him. I was the one in sweeping the floor.
"You know, you're getting on my nerves! You are the first one who messed with me up!" Shichi was aiming the eraser to me.
"Oh,yeah?! Aim the eraser to me and I'll aim my broom to you! What do you want?! Fight or war?!"I ran towards him but I didn't notice the pail of water. I bumped it and the water spilled. I slipped on the floor while holding the broom and the trash can poofed off the dust I've already clean.
"*Cough**cough*""Aw… my legs..my butt..""Darn you! Curse you blonde!" I cussed him with anger. I really despise him!!!
Suddenly, I am starting to catch my breath. I was going to tell Kimiko-sensei that I have asthma and am allergic to dust.
"Blonde!"I am catching my breath faster. I can't seem to move.
"Help..I can't breathe…!" I asked him, while touching my chest.
'Like I would! You're acting won't deceive me." Shichi smirked.
"I really can't breathe now…!" My sight are beginning to be woozy and my eyes are getting all white. I was shaking.
"Oh no! So you're serious?! Wait!" Shichi was believeing me now. He ran to me and touched my face. "What will I do?!" He was panicking.
"Bring m-me t-to the cli-clinic…p-please..m-my i-inhalerr.." My eyes were closing slowly now.
"Don't die!!"
"I-am n-not dying, i-idiot…bring me there.."
Shichi carried me to the clinic. He seemed to be carrying me lightly, no last thing I saw was his face, worried,anxious and nervous. I felt my body numb after that.
My eyes were opening slowly, after my recovery. It was already night when I woke up and I saw Shichi beside the bed, sitting while sleeping. I just realized, the guy's got good heart. But I still despise him!
"W-where am I?" I cleared my throat, saying it lowly.
Shichi woke up upon hearing my voice.
"Why do I have a band on my feet? Why does it hurt?" I asked him again.
"Ringo-san. You are at the hospital.."
"Hospital? But I told you just to bring me in the clinic…you really are stupid." I even have the urge to cuss him out.
"The clinic doesn't have inhaler. They're be thankful I brought you here!"
"So you mean there are a lot of people having asthma?"
**Out of 100, 50% have asthma there.**
"And they can't treat your feet."Shichi said, while looking at my face. His eyes were full of anxiety. I can see it.
"H-hey. Can I ask you something?"I was humble now. I can't believe it!
"What?I won't answer your question if you'll not call me by my name." He said, outsmarting me.
"Then stop calling me math girl or cashier girl. Deal?!"
"Deal. What…is it?"
"Why the hell were you staring at me the whole time in our class? Are you out of your mind?!"I tried to sit down but I felt weak so I slumped back.
"Why, does it make you self-conscious?"
"It irritates me!"
"Well, like I said, it's fun to stare at you. I don't know what is it, but I feel happy staring at you. Must be because of your funny face." Shichi answered. I blushed but I stopped fantasizing as soon as I heard "funny face".
"Funny face? Who you calling a funny face, evil blonde?!"
"Bwahaha. Stop calling me blonde, cashier girl!"We started arguing already.
"Stop calling me cashier girl! You boastful moron! And don't belittle my job!" I said, but my eyes were about to be teary.
He stopped laughing and began to be quiet.
"You don't know anything about me, so don't criticize me! Leave! Leave me alone!"I shouted at him, crumpling the bedsheet.
He glared at me but turned away and held the door knob.
"I already paid this room. Don't worry. Bye." He seemed disappointed as he looked away again and walked outside of the hospital room.
I clenched my fist and stomped it on the pillow. And tears fell. I don't know why I am crying! Then, I found a teddy bear placed at the top of the table. It's also full of get well soon cards by my classmates.
I got the teddy bear then read it's from Shichi and squished it. "What has got into him now?Giving me a teddy bear?! But well, it's hypoallergenic…" I saw the tag with hypo-allergenic logo.
"You stupid,stupid, jerk. I hate you. What could your name be? Let's see… bakabear!Stupid bakabear!" I pinched the cheeks and hugged it. I stuffed it on my face."Ugggh!!!"
What could be the reason why did I met that eviill man?! Someday, I'll know. Everything has it's own reason and I know God gave it to me because he knows that I can handle this.
End of Chapter 4! Heading to Chapter 5!
