Chapter 4

The teacher was blabbing stuff about some science phenomena when a scream pierced the stillness of the room. Looking around, I saw Miku looking so aghast.

"Sir! There's a frog! On my desk drawer!" She was crying so hard you could barely understand what she was saying.

"Miss Hatsune! Calm down. It's not as if that dead frog is going to eat you." The teacher shook his head and continued his lesson without bothering to get the frog off Miku's table.

Miku continued to wail while the teacher resumed blurting things about the protons and the neutrons and blah. Seriously, WHY do we have to study all of these??

"Sniff.. Can someone get this… this THING off my desk?? Please??" She pleaded to no one in particular but her gaze was focused on Len who was busy listening to the teacher. "Pleaaase???" She repeated louder towards Len.

"Miku, can't you just get it yourself?? You're distracting the whole class." I told her.

She glared at me, deadly. I mean if a glare can kill, I'd be dead two seconds flat.

"Here, let me get that." Len offered as he stood up and scooped the dead frog, God bless his soul, and threw it in the nearby garbage can.

"Playing hero Len??" I taunted him.

"Maybe, but at least I'm not acting like a jealous pre-schooler." He retorted. God why does he look so darn handsome when he smiles??

DARN HANDSOME???!! Man, I'm sick. "Me?? Jealous??" I pointed at myself using my thumb finger. Len nodded and smiled mockingly. "And why would I be jealous???"

The teacher cut in before Len could answer. "Mr. and Ms. Kagamine! Don't you show any respect for our class?? I am so disappointed at you two, especially you Rin. Detention, NOW!"

He handed us our detention notes and kicked us out of his class, literally. "You are now going to do community work together until both of you could ace the upcoming finals. Now go! Tell the detention in-charge about your "extra" work." And he slammed the door in our faces.

We stood there for a moment, still absorbing what the teacher just said. Did he just say we are going to work TOGETHER?? As in the two of us?? Is he mad?? Even staying with this.. this moron beside me makes me feel sick, how much more if we are going to work together?? All hell's going to break loose.

"It's all you fault! Aaaargh! Curse you!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. By the time I closed my mouth, our last class's classroom door opened and my last teacher scowled at us and said. "KAGAMINE RIN! I'm going to give you an extra "extra" work. You," he pointed at me for emphasis "will tutor Len," he pointed at Len, "until he could ace ALL tests for the finals. If he does not, then I'm going to ask all of your teachers to change all your grades so you can't proceed to junior high. And that's final!" He slammed the door again for the second time.

I looked at Len, who was now smirking at me. "Happy now?" I turned around and went to the detention room, grumbling. How dare he??? I just want to be away from him or else I can't control myself and kill him right then and there. GAAAH, how much I wanted to throttle his pretty little neck and pinch him and punch him and kick him…..

"Hey Rin, wait up!" Len called from behind.

"As if!!! Don't you dare come near me!" I said without turning around.

"Rin! Do you want to proceed to junior high or not??" He continued, he was already panting.

I stopped short and turned around. He was running directly behind me and we collided. Before my butt hit the floor, Len grabbed me by my hand and helped to steady me but due to my weight, we both fell on the floor with him above me. I looked at him with eyes wide open, and I saw him looking at me with the same expression too. I tried to push him away but it seems my arms lost its strength. All I could was stare at him. I felt warm as warm as the morning sun inside and it was clear in his eyes that he was stirred too. His lips slowly descended mine. So close…. Almost….

Riiiiiiiiiiiing!

I opened my eyes when I heard the bell ring and pushed him, reluctantly, as hard as I could. Gosh, what happened to me??? I can't believe I almost let Len kiss me.. I think I need a shrink. I took a deep breath as the students around started to disperse like bees in a hive. I looked at Len. He was now sitting up, but still with shock glazed in his eyes. He looked at me and our eyes locked. I felt my heart beat faster. What the hell?? Am I having an attack?? Man, this guy's turning my world upside down.

I looked around again and spotted Meiko approaching us. She waved when she saw that I was looking at her and smiled. But her smile turned to a frown when she saw Len sitting on the floor, looking like a madman.

"What happened to Len?" She asked.

"I dunno. Some disease or something." I lied then shrugged hoping that she bought the lie. I wasn't that good in lying. Grrrrr…

But she didn't, unfortunately. "Something happened here. I can feel it." She looked at me with a teasing smile. "Tell me all about it later." She whispered and waved her goodbye to Len.

"Hey moron, aren't you gonna stand up there??" I asked when I noticed he doesn't have any plans of standing up and going to the detention room. He looked at me with eyes full of love. LOVE??!! Contempt maybe but love??? Pssshh, stupidity.

"Yeah, I will. Will you wait for me??" He said quietly, voice pleading.

Wow, he just asked a favor from me. Hah! "As if I have a choice," I rolled my eyes. "Now get off your lazy butt before our science teacher checks us in the detention room." I turned my back away from him and walked briskly. He caught up with me and said, "Hey, wait." He smiled.

On our way to detention, I felt some warm thing touch my hand. To my surprise, when I looked down, Len was holding it. It felt right. Oh so right. Until Miku saw us and ruined the magical feeling that surrounded the atmosphere between us. She looked astonished when she looked down and saw our hands entwined. But then she smiled.

"Hey Baby." She approached Len and gave him a full kiss in the mouth. "I had a lovely time last night. Look what you gave me." She showed her neck to us. It has a red blotch which is obviously a hickey. I pulled my hand away from his and stormed off to detention.

"Rin!" I heard him call me before I disappeared into a corner. I can't believe it. I let him kiss me! ARRRGH! I was planning to save my first kiss to the man I love and now he just claimed it like that???!! How dare him!! Grrrrr…. And then I realized. It wasn't the kiss that maddened me. It was the fact that something happened between Len and Miku. Am I jealous???!! NoooOoo….
