"Hey, let's go down by the pond and catch frogs." The little boy shouts to the little girl. She giggled and nodded and started running after him.

They spent two hours watching frogs by the pond until the sun started to set. The little girl had dismissed herself and headed home. Along the way home, she put the frogs in the pond that was a little ways before her house.

Waking up at 5am was no problem to me. See, I wake up to make breakfast for my Father, brother, and I and on top of that, grabbing two Advil's and water for my father, drinking was his favorite pass time on Sunday nights. He has become like this for about six to eight years and there is nothing anyone can do to make him stop. He like this for a reason, my mother and my other little bother who wasn't even born yet had died in a terrible accident years prior.

Sad, I would think so because my Father would stop at nothing to get back at the drunken guys who killed them.

I was brought it of my thoughts as I heard stomping feet on the stairs and running fast to the kitchen. I automatically know who the stomps belongs to, my little brother, Kazuki. He came smiling up a storm and sat down eagerly for breakfast.

"Pancakes, my favorite..." he trailed off when he toke big bits of the pancakes. I look at him, he always forgets, waiting for a thank you.

He looked at me than "THANK YOU Onee-sama!*" He shouted.

I grab my plate with my pancakes on it and sit down near him. In the minimum of ten minutes I heard creaking floor boards from the stair case. My father was awake. I stand up and grab a plate for him and set it on the table and the glass of water along with the Advil.

We finished and chuckled at Kazuki with his funny stories about him and his classmates. By the time we finished it was around 6:50. Cleaned up and started heading upstairs to get ready for school. The school is currently voting on wither they have school uniforms. I wouldn't mind it but I do like wearing whatever so by the time I got done and ready it was 7:10. Only twenty minutes, record.

I head down stairs with my truck keys, and my bag with my books plus completed homework like a star student would. Kazuki just walked out from the parlor from say to my father good bye, I walk in and do the same thing.

"Bye, Daddy, have a good day at work and lunch is in the fridge for you." I gave him a hug and he nodded. "Love you!"

Then I hear "Love you, too" from my Father I smile at him and headed out the door to my truck that Kuzuki was already inside waiting. The truck was new, A Ford Raptorand it was blue.

We pull out for the Drive way and headed to Kazuki's school.

By the time I got to the school it was 7:30. Ten minutes till first class started. As I was walking to the building I was stopped by the most popular group of them all, Mitsuhide, Kiki, and...Zen. Zen doesn't remember me I guess, the dreams, the flash backs, they were moments of us in childhood but he doesn't remember me one bit.

Their usual teasing, calling names and bringing my self-confidence down. Luckily the bell had rung indicating that it was time for the first class, My English but I can't be too excited, Zen Wisteria was in that class.

Class began and we were told to work on outlining or start on something else. Zen sat in the row next to me but was all the way in the back. What surprises me is that he doesn't do anything till the end of class.

By the end of the class I had finished everything that needed to be completed. The bell rang indicating that class was over and we can go to our next class. I was packing my things in my bag when Zen walked by my desk and nudged my book off. I looked up and he was smirking. I moved to pick up the book and put it in my bag, by the time I stood up, the teacher was talking to Zen. Zen didn't look to happy and the teacher was dropping cold sweats and panicky. I walked near and I heard.

"She's going to tutor you and you will meet 2-3 days a week" Zen didn't look to happy about it but put on a smile, a fake smile.

~After School~

I walk out of the school building look for Zen so we can meet up and I can help him. I found him and he was talking to his friends. I'm guessing that they are his new closest friends that he can tell secrets to, about the adventures he wants to go on. His expression was mixed with annoyance, anger, and more.

I walk up to him and he replies with, "I will be there in a minute just hold on, impatient freak." and turned back to his friends. I shrugged and walked to sit on the bench near the parking lot. I was only sitting there for about one minute before he came over and I followed him to his car, I guess I can't get a chance to tell him that I drove here. I got in the passenger side and he got in the driver's side.

(A/N: Read chapter before this to see what they talked about)

We made it to his house and I was brought to shock when I saw the house, it was a mansion. In the corner of my eye I can see him smirking triumphly. We walk in and the inside was filled with more expensive things and pictures of Zen, His mother and Father, and Izana. I never liked Izana that much but he was good at strategies than Zen.

We walked up to his room and surprisingly his room was clean. Zen had a problem when he was younger that he couldn't keep his room cleaned, funny. Sitting by a window was a wooden table. He sat down and pulled out his work. I guess he wants to get it done and over with so he doesn't have to spend that much time with me on his company.

During the middle of the packet that we were to complete, he sighed heavily and laid on the floor. I laughed when he started to make a pouting face then made an excited face, putting his pencil in between his nose and upper lip, I continue to laugh.

I pull him up to the table and he looked at me like I was being mean. It was a very cute pout but he has to finish this so he has it done for tomorrow. But we were having to much fun was decided to work on our homework for the other classes. I have never smiled and laugh this much in a week. He was fixing the sentence on the math worksheets with funny, incorrect words.

It was 3:45pm by the time we finish ad I had to head out and pick Kazuki up from school and make him an after school snack. We bid each other goodbye, and one of his trusted drivers drive me back to my Truck in the school parking lot.

I hope Zen Wisteria will never forget this day that who he and his friends were teasing, making fun of and lower their self-confidence was his closest...Friend, me, Shirayuki.

Onee-sama*- Older sister, more formal and held with more respect.

Hoped you liked this chapter. I was trying to inclued something's that happened during the study "date".

If you hate Zen still, well just don't hate him fully.

~Thank you and See you next chapter.
