A/N: Okie hi! Um…if ya didn't notice the title of this chapter, it's in Lee's/Jenrya's/Jen's/Henry's point of view. Enough said, okie? ^__^ Um…things look good so far…so uh, on with whatever before I start talking too much. Heh, heh. Today I went to Sea World with Pika 2, and um…after that, I bought about $16 worth of candy. I haven't even started to eat a fraction of it, but just to let ya know, I'm hyper at the moment, so uh, if you come across some stupid stuff, blame the Sweet Factory for having such a wide variety of candies! ^_______^ Oh, and this chapter is the same chapter as the last one, except that it's in Lee's point of view this time. For those of you who are so kindly reading this, thankies for paying attention! If you read this, please review saying you read it so on the next chapter I can recognize you, and stuffs. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. And in Jen's class, let's just say it's gone a little bit like Adolescent Growth Education, otherwise known as sex-ed. So beware.

I'm so happy I have a girlfriend! Ruki! I can't stop thinking about her! I really owe Ryo one, really. He let me have Ruki.
So now today's a new day for all of us! And as usual, I start eating breakfast, and Shiuchon and my elder siblings are just talking; having a good time. I soon started to pack my stuff for school, out the door I went. On the way, I met up with Ruki, who unfortunately, was with Ryo. I wanted to hold her so badly, so much. I even had to fight the urge to kiss her for an eternity. As we were all walking, Ryo realized he left his science homework back at Ruki's so he ran back to pick it up. So there we were, Ruki and I were alone. As we reached the school gates, I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her. He lips were so soft, so tender, and so…warm. I could feel myself shiver and get tense as Ruki's hands roamed my arms and back. When we finally broke the kiss, I saw a girl; on I've never seen before at school glance at us. Her hair was in brown, wavy pigtails except for two strands, one on each side, also wavy, framing her face. She had a no-sleeve shirt under a vest, which was white except on the collar part, which was blood red. Her light pink skirt was thin and had two layers. Her skin was pretty light, but also close to a tan. Her eyes shone a sparkling brown color, and she was shorter than me, but taller than Ruki-Chan.
She smiled at me and Ruki, then left.
Ruki glared and shot daggers at her when she first saw her here. Was there something I missed? She looked like as if she's been her enemy since the beginning of time, and it was scary. I placed my hand on her shoulder, and told her we needed to get to class, and fast.
Classes seemed to drag on for years and years. Stupid reviewing that the teacher made us do. I couldn't think straight. I had my mind and heart set on Ruki-Chan at the moment. My thoughts were soon interrupted when everyone was snickering at me. I then looked at the teacher, who was tapping her foot on the ground in the front of the class. "Out of la-la land yet, Jenrya?" the teacher asked me.
Seemingly my science teacher always asked people random stuff about sex-ed, the subject of science today, she was waiting for me to answer her question, which I wasn't paying attention to. "Uh…yeah," I responded sheepishly.
The class roared in laughter. "Jenrya, this is unlike you to not pay attention on your studies and in your class. Next time, try to pay attention more often, or it's detention for you. Now, I hope you were paying attention yesterday, because we're taking a mini quiz right now. Answer this question: If a male is going through puberty, what might they experience during their sleep?"
Aw, damn. I didn't pay attention yesterday, either…I thought about fifth grade. Unfortunately, I was in the Digital World then, so we missed that class. "Um…uh…Mmm…hmm…uh…It's…a menstrual period…er, no I mean, puberty, er, no, that's what the human is going through, um, sperm, uh, argh!"
The whole class laughed even harder. Where was Ruki when you need her? Or Ryo-San? I blushed madly. I could've sworn that my whole body turned as red as Guilmon. The teacher, however, wasn't overly impressed. I got something a woman receives mixed up with what the men have. Dang it!
"Jenrya, you haven't been paying attention yesterday, either?" she sighed unpleasantly and looked at another person. "Katou Juri, can you tell me the answer to the question poor Jenrya forgot to answer?"
She smiled and nodded. "A man sometimes goes through a nocturnal emission, AKA a wet dream when going through puberty. Jenrya, a woman goes through the period."
I sighed and muttered, "I know that already," but she didn't hear me over all the giggling in the class.
The bell rang, and I was the first to run out and go to the next class: English class.
I'm gonna skip this part. The next class I'm in is cooking. I saw that girl again. The one who was staring at Ruki-Chan and me? Yeah, her! I'm just glad Ruki isn't in this class; otherwise she'd be shooting bullets in her eyes. Right when sensei told us we could make anything we wanted, she started running for her table as fast as a roadrunner. An hour later, her cooking was finished and she added the final touches to whatever she was making for about ten more minutes. When it was finished, everyone was staring at it. Written on the cake, was the Katakana writing for 'Ryo.' Confused, I asked the kid next to me why her cake had Ryo's name on it. No one knew. I mean, it's not likely for a girl who just came here, seeming like she knows nothing about Digimon or the card game, and yet she makes a cake for Ryo-San, with his name frosted on it, too. Now this was just plain freaky. I mean it.
The bell rang for lunch. She quickly managed to get out of the crowd she made, covered the cake, and ran off with it.
I met up with Ruki who was looking like as if she needed to share her lunch with me. Looks like her mom cooked her too much again today. Her mom is always saying she's too skinny because her skin's always pale when she comes back home, considering she's so tired, so she asked her grandmother to cook much more than usual for her lunch. She couldn't quite finish it, and the school's lunch doesn't make a lot. We finished quickly, and then found Ryo. I told her that I wanted to tell him something. She agreed, sighed and went with me. Why, I don't know. Right when Ryo-San was no less than a few yards away from me, the girl appeared out of nowhere and showed her the cake. He smiled, while she cut the cake for him. I reached them a little bit after they started eating.
I pointed to her gently and looked at Ryo-San, asking, "You're the new kid who baked the cake at cooking class, aren't you?"
She smiled at me, then Ryo, saying, "Oh, yeah, I am. Ryo-Chan, could you introduce me to your friends?"
Ryo looked at me, and then said, "Melody, the boy who talked to you is Jenrya Lee, but call him Lee. The girl with him is…" he stopped. His hands trembled. What was wrong with him? Was he still in love with her? Was he scared that he gave her to me, but he really didn't mean to, and he really misses her? Oh, no. "Um…"
I sensed Ruki's anger. "So you're Melody," she said to Melody. "Ryo must really like you. Humph."
I looked at her, concerned and afraid. "Ruki, it's all in the past. It's okay. Don't talk about it, especially in front of Melody." I pulled her in a hug, and then kissed her, feeling the warmth of her lips. I pulled away, but then Melody spoke.
"So…" she said, "You're Ruki Makino: The daughter of Rumiko Makino, the famous super-model! You know, Ryo was all he ever talked about ever since he dumped me but believe me he still likes you. In fact, I was jealous. Now I see why he likes you so much! You look rough; you are rough, just like him! Looks like I have competition! Watch out, I'm tough, too." She winked. What the heck is she doing? Is she trying to act ditzy, or is she really ditzy?
I took a glance at Ryo, who looked totally pissed off. This isn't good. That was worse than when we battled the D-Reaper. I wouldn't want to get in this fight. I looked at Ruki who had her head lowered, her face a bright red color. Mad and confused, I ran off after her. "Ruki-Chan! Wait!"
She ran farther and farther down the school campus, and farther and farther from Ryo-Tachi. She went under her favorite tree on the school site, sat down, and cried. I sat next to her, patting her back. "What's wrong?" although I kind of knew already.
She sobbed even more. "I don't know what to do…"
I looked at her shocked. She still liked Ryo? "What do you mean, you mean to tell me…"
"Yes!" she yelled, looking in my eyes. Fear and sadness were held in there, the happiness trapped and drowned in the pool of tears. "For some reason, some part of me that loved Ryo is still in there, but I love you now. I'm so confused…" She held her face in her hands.
Later that day, I couldn't eat dinner. I just poked at my food.
Shiuchon put her fork down and slammed her fist at the table, pointing at me. "Okay, what did you do to Jen-Chan?!" she yelled. "You're too quiet. Jen is never quiet at dinnertime."
I looked at her. I didn't say anything. I just got up and walked to my room. Sleeping now was harder than ever. I kept thinking about what she said. She also loves Ryo. One half says, "Keep her. She loves me now," but the other half says, "Give her back, you overstayed you welcome. Besides, Ryo was with her much longer than anyone else, and you know she loves him still. Be the kind person you always are and give her back to Ryo."
So I started to count sheep, but I still don't know what to do now.
