School Daze Chapter Three- Ryn's Crush

From Ryn's point of view

Yay! My turn! Quick disclaimer: I don't own Bit Cloud or any other Zoids- related stuff, nor do I own Digimon and any of the characters from the show. Lily belongs to Lily, Indy belongs to Indy, and Jenashu belongs to Jen.

Last period for me meant Spanish, and I was the last one into class again. Mrs. Yumi was really nice and would give us work that only lasted half the period, then let us talk the other half. Besides that, she never asked me for a late note, putting her high on my favorite teachers list.

The phone rang just as I slid into my seat. Everyone rushed to answer it, as always. They all returned to their seats as Mouse handed the phone to Mrs. Yumi.

"Hello, this is Mrs. Yumi Again? What did he do this time? All right, send him down. He seems to behave just fine in here. Yeah, I know." Mrs. Yumi sighed and hung up the phone. That conversation could only mean one thing

Bit Cloud stood sheepishly in the doorway. "Hey, Mrs. Yumi," he said politely. She smiled and motioned for him to find a desk. His eyes scanned the room and at last he chose the seat next to mine!

I poked Jen (sitting on my other side) nervously. "Can I switch seats with you?" I whispered. She looked up at the teacher then back at me and shook her head. "I thought you liked him," she replied.

By this time Bit had made his way to his seat. I quickly tilted my head downward, allowing my hair to fall freely and cover my face. I couldn't let him see how red my cheeks were!

I felt someone tap my shoulder nearest Jen. I looked up at her questioningly and she pointed to Bit. I glanced at him hastily then hid behind my Spanish book, pretending to be interested in what was on the page I had randomly opened up to. But our lesson was nowhere near page 476 and he knew that. A little scrap of paper flew over the walls of my book barricade and landed on my desk.

I set down my book and stared at Bit, who grinned back at me triumphantly and waved. I suddenly felt sick to my stomachThis was going to be a loooong class. Then again, Bit Cloud got sent down almost every day for one thing or another (on purpose??), so it wouldn't be any longer than usual.

Mouse, always ready to start trouble, smirked at me mischieviously. No! I mouthed, but he just ignored me. "She likes you, Bit!" he teased.

I rose to my feet. "YOU WANNA MAKE SOMETHING OF IT?" I shouted. Everyone in the room turned and stared at me. I sat down, my face burning with anger. Mouse could get me worked up over the stupidest stuff sometimes, and he used that to his advantage.

"But just between you and me" Mouse cupped his hands around Bit's ear before finishing. Bit's eyes widened with this new revelation, making me wonder what he had been told. Mouse laughed at my puzzled expression, while Bit leaned toward me. "Don't worry," he assured me, "what he said was funny, but I know it wasn't true." I relaxed a little after that, but I was still going to kill that rodent later.

Thanks for introducing Mouse, Lily! It gave me an idea and something to work with. Well, Jenashu's chapter will be next and then Indy will get another turn. This is fun! And it helped cure my writer's block, too. ;)
