The teacher was giving the final instructions of the day when the bell rang. The teacher called homework over everybody's movements and voices. Selene was slowly getting up from her seat when Ranma knocked on her desk. She jumped almost imperceptible, and turned to face Ranma.
"Why don't Akane and I take you over to ask Mr. Tendo?" He offered her, but Selene declined. "Why? I mean you're going to end up there anyway, we might as well escort you there."
"I've got a few things I have to do first." Selene said looking down; she felt someone's icy glare on her back. "I'll meet up with you and Akane later ok?" She tried to smile but Ranma saw how tense it was.
"Look, if you need anyone to talk to..." Ranma was feeling self conscious about offering, "My office is always open. Free of charge." Selene smiled, and thanked him.
"Can you do me a favor?" Selene asked.
"Sure. What is it?" Ranma replied, happy he could do something for his friend.
"Don't tell the Tendos about my moving in with them, well hopeful move in." Selene pleaded. "I don't want them to know yet, so don't tell them especially Akane. Please, promise me."
"Yeah, sure." Ranma held up his hand. "I swear on my life and soul." Then Selene left.
