TK POV

"Mr. Takaishi, day dreaming again?" Mr. Yiyomi asked me.

I didn't even notice that I was staring at her until he mentioned my name.

"Uh, no, I was just uh, thinking about the problem." I said quickly, not realizing what I got myself into.

"Well, since you were thinking about the problem, do you mind telling me how to find the sum of the for formulas?"

"Um, o-ok...." I stuttered. I walked up to the board, and miraculously I got it right.

"Very...Good, TK. Just make sure you continue to pay attention. If that's what you kids call it these days." Mr. Yiyomi said, giving me a sly look.

"Ha ha." I said under my breath as I walked back to my desk and pretended to pay attention. I'm surprised Kari hasn't noticed me staring at her. I've been doing it all day. I can't get her off of my mind. Whenever I see her look my way, and that look she gives me. It hurts to see so much angry and sadness in her eyes. It's like salt in an open wound. I can't stand to see her eyes. But I can't keep my eyes off of her. I don't know what I'm suppose to do. God, why does love have to hurt this much.

Kari POV

He's still looking at me. He thinks I don't see him looking, but I do. Every once and a while I'll look into those eyes. Those sky blue eyes, and I can't help but feel that sting that i felt from when he kissed Molly. I can't help it but let my eyes fill with tears. It's not like I have any hope left. Because I don't. He was my hope. Ironic that his crest happened to be hope. I just wish I could solve all of this in a heartbeat, but I can't. I can't talk to him. It hurts too much. He's tried calling me. I have Tai make up excuses for me so I don't have to talk to him. I think he knows I'm doing it. It's not like it matters. I just wish this would all go away.

3rd POV

All of a sudden the fire alarm went off and the fire sprinklers went on. Everybody started screaming and running out of the room, trying to avoid the inside rain and whatever caused the alarm to go off. TK and Kari were the last to get out of the room, but they weren't in any hurry. As they got out of the room, they were pushed into an automatic locking room by the crowd of kids that were trying to rush out of the building.

"No, wait, soemone open the door!" Kari yelled while banging on the door and getting completely soaked by the fire sprinklers.

"Kari, it's no use. They won't be able to hear you." TK said softly.

"You're probably right." Kari said. She walked over to the wall and leaned against it. "What do we do now." She asked, trying hard to avoid eye contact.

"We wait. The firefighters and crap are probably already here and are breaking in to find everybody that was left in, including ourselves." he answered while staring at her. He couldn't take his eyes off of her. The way the water was dripping off her face, the way her hair would look droopy. She looked even more beautiful than before.

"I can't take this. Not right now." Kari cried, covering her face with her hands and sliding down to the floor from the wall she was leaning on.

"Kari...I...We need to talk." TK said as he walked over to her on the floor.

"TK, I don't want to talk to you." Kari whispered.

"Kari you have to talk to me. We have to settle this." He said as he took her hands off of her face. She tried to avoid his face and looked away, but he held her face and moved it so that she was looking at his face. She wouldn't look in his eyes though.

"Kari, look at me." He said to her softly. She still wouldn't look at him. "Please Kari."

She sighed and looked in his eyes. They looked so soft and light, and like they were hurting.

"TK...I can't do this. I can't." She said angrily.

"Kari, you have to. We have to resolve whatever is going on between us. We need totalk about what we're feeling."

"Fine. You want to know what I'm feeling?" She yelled. "I'm feeling hurt and betrayed and confused and pissed off and sad and mad all at the same time. And you know why? Because you kissed Molly and I got jealous. You know why I got jealous? Neither do I. I'm feeling a string of emotions right now TK, and frankly, I don't want to talk about it." She said in a huff. She stood up and walked towards the window, her back facing TK.

"You're...Jealous?" TK asked quietly as he stood up and turned around to find her back looking at him.

"Yes, Takeru, I am jealous. Any more questions?" She said. She turned around to face him with her arms crossed.

"Kari, I didn't kiss her. She kissed me." He said softly. "She did something like this to me." He walked up to her and grabbed her wrists gently and pushed her against the wall softly with her hands above her head. He looked into her eyes, and all of a sudden saw a wanting in them. Her chestnut brown eyes were wanting soemthing from him, something he knew he wanted to give her, but was afraid to do so.

"TK..." Kari whispered, leaning towards him. TK leaned towards her as well until their lips met. They stayed that way for a while until a door be broken in tore them apart.

"Are you two ok?" A fireman asked them walking towards them. Two other firemen cmae in and took Kari and TK outside and brought them over to the ambulance. They were examined, checked for any injuries, then let go to where the students were being held until the school was checked to be safe.

"Kari! Are you ok? What happened?" Yolei yelled as she ran towards Kari.

"Me and TK were trying to get out of the school when a couple of kids pushed us into an automatic lock door. It locks from the outside, so we had no way of getting out."

"Then what happened? You look kind of flushed." Yolei said, grinning.

"I'd rather not talk about it." Kari said quietly. She looked towards TK, who happened to be glancing towards her at the same time, and she turned away. She felt even worse than before.
