Chapter 4

The night went peacefully as Ray woke up stretching his arms. It was morning. Ray got out of bed and opened the curtains revealing the sun that shone brightly through the window now. Ray walked over to Kai's bed and shook his shoulder. Kai moaned as his eyes slowly opened. Ray stared at a calendar by his desk on his side of the room. It was Friday, just one more day 'til the weekend. Kai finally got out of his bed after Ray had shook his shoulder a second time. Ray walked to his closet grabbed his school uniform and headed for the washroom on Kai's side of the room. He locked the door behind him.

Kai got out of bed and walked around the room. Knowing Ray his shower was going to take at least ten minutes. Kai was curious of what things Ray was into so, he looked in some bags that Ray kept in his closet. He looked over to the desk. Ray was into writing. He thought it was one of the best places to find things out about Ray. He probably spilled all his feelings in his writing. He looked on top of the desk. It was covered with textbooks, loose pieces of paper and workbooks. Pencils, pens and erasers were scattered on top. As tidy as Ray seemed, he definitely wasn't. He pulled open the top drawer. More loose paper more workbooks. He closed that drawer and pulled out the drawer underneath. A book with a lock and some more books. The books were much more decorative then a normal book. Hmm? Kai thought as he took out an old book with a green cover. I don't remember Ray unpacking this. He opened the book to the table of contents. The names of chapters appeared. He continued to the first page. As soon as he was starting to flip the page he heard the washroom door unlock. He quickly shoved the book back into the drawer and closed the drawer tightly and rushed over to his bed. He quickly sat on the bed. The door opened.

"That was a fast bath." Kai said staring at the clock on his bedside table. "At this rate we'll be early for class." He laughed a sarcastic laugh and headed for his own closet. Ray stared at him suspiciously but, shook off Kai's unusual moment. He headed for his desk. Kai rushed into the washroom with his uniform in his arms. He quickly shut the door behind him and locked it.

"Phew." Kai said relieved. He sunk down against the door. That was close. Kai thought, hearing paper moving in the room. I hope he doesn't notice. He stood up, stripped off his clothes and stepped into the shower.

"Hmm…" Ray thought as he opened his bottom drawer. "Some of the things are different. They're not in the same place I left them yesterday. I think… Well, I shouldn't jump to conclusions." He closed the drawer and stacked all the books he needed for the classes he had in the morning. Math, Science and Geography. Yawn… Ray thought as he sat down on a chair that was tucked under the table. He rested his chin on his stack of books. He stared over to Kai's side of the room. I wonder if Kai went through my desk. Ray thought. I hope he didn't. He wouldn't be that inconsiderate. Would he…?

The door to the washroom started to open. Steam rose out from the washroom as the door completely open. Kai stepped out of the steam in full uniform. Ray looked over at the bedside table's clock.

"We're still early." Kai said following Ray's gaze. "Let's just sit around then." He walked over to his bed and laid himself down. "We have a whole half hour left. What do you wanna do?"

"I'm kinda tired right now." Ray replied moving the books so he could lay his head down on his desk. "I'm just gonna rest up a bit you can take a walk or something if you want." As soon as he closed his eyes sleep consumed him leaving Kai the only one awake in the room. Kai stared up at the ceiling. Should I count the seconds that go by? Kai asked himself crossing his arms and legs. It's boring without Ray to talk to.

Kai was completely lost in thought. The minutes passed by as Kai continued thinking. Soon it was almost time to get to class. He stared at the clock.

"8:55 already?" Kai questioned getting up. He walked over to Ray. "It's time to get up, Ray." He shook Ray's shoulder and he slowly opened his eyes. Kai walked over to his desk and picked up his books. He headed for the door Ray behind him. They walked through the halls to their first class math. Their teacher was ill recently so they've been having many different substitutes. Some were nice, some were mean. Ray heard that there will be a teacher that will take the position permanently that day.

They reached the door to their math class. Ray heard a voice inside. A familiar voice. Kai opened the door. They stepped inside. Only a few people were already inside. At least the weren't late. Ray moved to the back of the room with Kai and sat down. Ray placed his books on his desk and gasped.

"Mr.Mizuki is… our new teacher?!" Ray whispered his eyes widened. "Why of all people does it have to be him?" Some more people rushed into the class.

"Do you know him?" Kai asked staring at Ray confusingly. "When did you meet him?"

"Well… that time when I was running from you" Ray started sinking in his seat. "I met him in a room I hid in." The last of the students rushed in as the bell rang. They took their seats. Ray looked to the front. Mizuki was about to do the attendance. He went down the list.

"Ray?" Mizuki questioned staring at the back of the room.

"Here." Ray pouted crossing his arms. He looked out the window to his right. This was gonna be a very, very, very long period.
