Hey Riley here and in the last chapter I showed up at school wearing a 'Neko' hoodie that Phoenix bought for me. And the reason is because I have a bet with Dante. If I can wear it for the whole day at school he'll give me a hundred bucks. Let's see how the rest of the day goes:

*As Phoenix and I walk down to the library hand-in-paw down the hall. And of course I hear sounds of other students giggling at me.

Me: "*sigh*"

Phoenix: "What's wrong honey?"

Me: "What's wrong, it's this stupid hoodie. Why on earth did I bet Dante on something like this?"

Phoenix: "Because you're an idiot who doesn't plan ahead." She tells me,

Me: "Hey!" I reply.

Phoenix: "But, that's why I love you." And she kisses me, and I kiss her back. "So what do you wanna do?"

Me: "Let's go somewhere where no-one can see me." I say while lowering my head. And she giggles at my response.

Phoenix: "I think I know just the spot." And she grabs my paw and she takes me off somewhere else instead of the library. And after we walk around for a few minutes, we end up at a set of doors.

Me: "Where does this go?" I ask,

Phoenix: "Just to a spot that I like to hang out at, every now and then." And she opens the doors and I see a stair case.

Me: "Phoenix, where does this~" I try to ask but she already starts walking up the stairs. "H-hey, wait up." *I say while following her. And after we walk up about a thirty or fifty stairs we come to another door.

Phoenix: "Ready honey?" She asks while doing something to the doorknob. I try to see what she's doing and then she suddenly opens the door, and we both get blinded by the bright sunlight.

Phoenix: "Wow it's bright out."

Me: "Yeah it is." And then when our eyes adjust to the light, we walk out on the roof stepping over pipes and electric cords. Until we end up standing about ten feet away from the ledge of the roof.

Me: "So do you come up here often?"

Phoenix: "Yeah, mostly throughout grade 9 when there was no-one around, I would pick the lock and come up here to hangout." She tells me,

Me: "You would pick the lock?" I say while looking at her funny.

Phoenix: "Yeah, it's a little trick I picked up. And 'no' I never broke into anyone's home or anything like that."

Me: "Ok, I wouldn't like it if I was in love with a thief." And we laugh at my remark. And she casually walks to the ledge and looks over,

Phoenix: "Huh? Coming honey?" She says while looking at me. And I nervously reply,

Me: "Uh...s-sure thing Phoenix..." And I slowly walk towards her.

Phoenix: "Still scared of heights?"

Me: "Obviously." And then she walks up to me and grabs my right paw and drags me closer to the ledge.

Me: "W-what are you doing?"

Phoenix: "Helping you get over your fear."

Me: "Phoenix, p-please stop."

Phoenix: "Oh c'mon."

*And I begin to stop resisting her and she walks me to the edge of the roof. Take one deep breath and look straight down three or four stories and instantly become dizzy. I take a few steps back and catch my breath.

Me: "T-there...h-happy?" I stutter while placing my hands on my knees.

Phoenix: "Very." She says while a smile & walks up to me.

Me: "Now can we go?" I ask her. And she giggles at me.

Phoenix: "Ok. The bell will be going in a few minutes. Wanna get going?"

Me: "Yes please." And she grabs my paw and we leave the roof and begin to walk down the stairs.

Phoenix: "Ok, now let's go somewhere else very quickly."

Me: "Why?"

Phoenix: "Well...I don't want to get caught again for going up th~" She says while opening the door and we end up running into Mr. Galactus.

Mr. G: "What we're kids doing up there?"

Duo: "...nothing sir." We say while standing at attention.

Mr. G: "Sure. Now follow me to my office." And the three of us start walking down the main office. And we can see & hear student talking about us or laughing at us as Mr. G leads us off to his office. And Phoenix & I take our seats on two chairs in front of his desk,

Mr. G: "Phoenix how many times do we have to tell you not to go on the roof, it's off limits to students."

Phoenix: "You told me more than three times." She says with her head down and I look at her.

Mr. G: "And as for you Riley, your...uh...what are you wearing?"

Me: "I'm doing an experiment." I casually tell him and he looks at me funny,

Mr. G: "Ok no more going on the roof ok Jean." And she nods her head and we leave Mr. G's office and walk over to a table in the main foyer. And we take our seats and I ask,

Me: "Uh...Phoenix..."

Phoenix: "Yes?"

Me: "You snuck onto the roof three times before?" And she looks away and blushes slightly, and then she nods her head. "Even though I'm scared of height, I actually like that spot."

Phoenix: "Really?" And I nod my head up and down and she smiles at me, then we ring,

[*RRRIIINNNGGGG!]

Phoenix: "Oh, well see you at lunch kitty." She giggles.

Me: "*sigh* yeah, see you then." And we go our spate ways until noon.

*Hey , Riley here and sorry for taking some long for this update. And so far Phoenix tried helping me over coming my fear of heights but, it didn't go to well. And anyway I hope you like this chapter and see you in the next chapter.
