After a long absence, I am back with the next chapter. listens to the unenthusiastic 'yea' Why did it take so long? Life. And readers, be relieved; this has proof read! Yes, by someone else.

Ranma listened to the monotone voice of his teacher. He was trying his hardest not to fall asleep. It would be nice to make it through the day without being sent to the hall.
Casting a quick glance at Akane he marveled at how she could stay attentive, no matter how boring the class was.
The lunch bell finally rung and the class gave a collective sigh.
While others unpacked their lunch, Ranma prepared himself for what was to come.
Daisuke and Hiroshi.
Sometimes those two could be fun to be around. He liked listening to things that normal people would go through instead of the insanity that seemed to follow him around. Sometimes he would talk about some of his lesser fights and feel just like one of the guys. But mostly he would just listen; occasionally throwing in a comment or two to remind them he was still there.
But sometimes they could be down right intrusive into his life.
He hated when they did that, but it was still better than eating alone.
Today, he would have loved nothing more than to listen to them ramble on about some movie or the latest game.
So he just knew they were going to be intrusive.
"Hey Ranma," Daisuke said, keeping his voice suspiciously low.
Ranma mentally groaned.
"You and Akane seem to have been getting along pretty well this morning," Hiroshi continued.
"Does this mean…"
"That you two have finally…"
"Don't you dare finish that sentence."
"Come on!"
"How long have you two been engaged?"
"Not by choice."
"You must have done something by now."
"With that tomboy? You two must be crazy."
"Then what about Ukyo."
"Or Shampoo!"
"Come on man, send one of those women our way."
"Yeah. You take up all the good ones."
He glared at them.
"I didn't ask 'em to stalk me."
"Are you saying you haven't done anything?"
"With any of them?"
"Are you really a man?" they both demanded at once.
