"Um…sure. I'm Jayme Amor." I said a little hesitantly. "What about you?"
"Kyo Sohma." He said a little bitterly, looking down.
"Well…uh, I guess I look forward working with you, Kyo." Well, that's another Sohma to add to the list. I wonder if he's related to that Yuki kid.
"You guess?" he asked slightly irritated, looking up at me with judgmental deep sardius eyes.
I was taken a back for a moment and I started to fumble for words, "Uh, well—what I meant was—I don't know you that well and you don't know me, so I'm not sure if we'll even get along. I mean—"
"What the heck are you saying?!" he hissed uncrossing his arms and leaning closer.
I stopped, confused. "I-I'm sorry?"
"You're speaking freaking English! I can't understand a word of it!" he said angrily. Then he calmed down just enough to make sure he didn't attract any unwanted attention. "You're not from around here, are you?"
I shook my head, "No. I'm from the U.S."
"Explains why you look like that." He mumbled to himself.
"Wh-what's wrong with the way I look?" I asked looking down at my uniform.
He rolled his eyes, "It's not the way you dress, it's the way your face looks."
I felt myself shrink a little, "Oh…" Great, now I have to be partners with a jerk. How lovely.
"No!" he exclaimed a little surprised himself at what he said before, "No, what I meant was…you look weird. No! Wait, I meant…you don't look like you're…from here."
"Oh!" I perked up a little. Well, he's certainly not that articulate.
"Hmm…but I guessed you're from Spain or Mexico—well, before you started going all American on me." he looked at me from under his bangs which hung somewhat over his eyes, obscuring them from my view.
I gave him a small smile and I noticed his cheeks pink a little. Is…is he blushing? No, he can't be. Right?
"What're you smiling for?!" he asked angrily, apparently annoyed.
"Nothing." I smiled.
He lifted up an eyebrow puzzled as he shifted in his seat.
"Hey, are you—by any chance—related to a-a Y-Yuki Sohma?" I asked curiously.
I saw him stiffen, "Darn rat." He muttered under his breath.
I furrowed my brow, "I'm sorry?"
"Nothing." He looked at me from the corner of his eye. "Yeah, why?"
"Oh…'cuz he's in my first period." I explained.
Kyo didn't say anything; he simply glared at his desk.
"You…you two don't get along very well…do you?" I asked quietly, putting two and two together.
He then turned his glare at me, "You have no idea." He growled angrily into his chest.
"Sorry. Forget I said anything." I mumbled. Okay, note to self: don't mention Yuki to Kyo…it ticks him off. I wonder if it the same if I mention Kyo to Yuki…
