Rei waited for class to start by reading. She'd taken out the notebook and pen before and placed them neatly on her desk. Though it had been boring just to sit there and stare at a blackboard so now she read. A rolling sound caused her to look up just in time to see her pen fall off the desk. She put the book down, bending over to pick up the pen and place it back in its place on the desk. Making sure it wouldn't roll off again she picked up her book. The moment in doing so the pen began to roll. This time she stopped it before it could fall off and put it back. She stared at it for a second. It didn't roll.Her hand moved towards her book. The pen moved. She stared at it again. It stopped. Again she went to pick up the book. It started rolling again. She looked back at it but it didn't stop. In fact it only seemed to go faster. Her hand reached out to stop the moving object but it continued on its crash course and persistently landed on the floor.

Now glaring at the pen she picked it up once more. She placed it back on the desk this time a little more firmly. The moment her grip released from it though it started rolling again. She immediately slammed down her hand on it. She glanced around faintly blushing as the smacking sound rung out over the classroom. Ignoring any looks she might have gotten she kept one hand to keep the pen in place and with the other hand got some tape out of her bookbag. With a little manuevering with one hand she was able to hang onto the pen and keep it in place with a piece of tape. She leaned close to the securely
taped pen. "Lets see you get out of that." She whispered.

Rei leaned back in her seat and picked up her book once more. Only to hear the sound of something hitting the floor near her desk. She looked to the top of her desk where her pen should have been but only found a ripped piece of tape marking the spot it had once been. She looked to the floor, gave a small sigh and reached for the pen. Giving up she put the pen in her bookbag. She had too many things to worry over without wasting so much energy at being annoyed by a pen that wouldn't stay put.

A blonde at the back of the college classroom sat amused, watching the raven haired girl fight with a pen. He never used his powers in this class, because he knew who she was and he knew she'd sense him if he wasn't careful. Though within the last couple of days she seemed very distracted. So today he had decided to poke some fun at her, she must have been more distracted than he initially thought to not even look around the room and find out what was making the pen move. Still it had been very amusing, and perhaps later he'd take it a step further.

The professor walked in then, five minutes late as usual. Rei was annoyed at his prompt tardiness. She came early, she studied hard and for what? A professor who wouldn't give them the respect to be on time for once? She shook her head clearing away those thoughts, everything seemed to agitate her so much lately and she didn't really know why. Perhaps it was just the chilling feeling she was getting that something bad was going to happen, the same feeling she got before someone new showed up to ruin their lives again.

As usual though she neglected to tell any of the girls, why worry them so soon when nothing had happened yet? Let them enjoy whatever moments of their lives they had left before their scheldues would be cut shorter than they already were. It was hard to get good grades, maintain a steady attendance at school or hold any kind of job and be a sailor senshi at the same time. She managed to do alright during junior high and high school, how Ami managed to find all that studying time she'd never know, but some of the others didn't fair as well.

Usagi just barely passed, though some might argue that would have been her grade anyway, Rei knew better. She tried, but there were too many distractions to pull the blonde away. If there had been more time she might have been able to have studied more after getting over whatever the distraction was. Minako was sort of the same, though she always managed to do some serious cramming before a test, retaining just enough information just long enough to pass the test. Makoto... well she actually did pretty well too. Better than Rei, even the raven haired priestess would admit that. She somehow managed to balance schoolwork, having a life and being a sailor senshi.

Listening to the professor and taking notes, Rei began to absently swing one of her legs, it would tap the desk leg and then come back. The professor was walking up and down the aisles as he gave his lecture. Coming up to Rei's desk the desk seemed to jump slightly to one side, Rei's foot swung out missing the desk leg that it had been tapping and kept going out into the aisle, tripping the professor.

Rei stared in horror, watching it slowly happening and yet being unable to stop it. She had just tripped the professor! No... she couldn't have done that on purpose.. the desk had jumped.. but who would believe that? Certainly not the professor who was rising to his feet and not giving Rei the most friendliest of looks.

"Hino-san." He said, short and clipped. "You may leave now and may return for the next class." He turned walking back to the front of the room. "And I do hope your behavior will improve or I will have you removed from my class for the rest of the semester."

The blonde at the back smirked again, watching Rei slowly pack up her things, get up and leave. Once the door closed behind her the professor continued his lecture. The blonde frowned, his object of amusement was gone now, but that was just as well, he had work to do afterall. And slowly, one by one, the students of the class seemed to drift off to sleep. The reason could have been said to be the professor's droning voice, but then again the professor putting himself to sleep with his own voice is quite a feat?

The one student who wasn't asleep rose from his seat and left. His hand going through his short wavy blonde hair, as his blue eyes looked around the hall, hoping to bump into his source of amusement.

AN: That's chappie one peoples. Just setting up the stage. I haven't had internet for something like three months and frankly I got bored so I did some writing. I suppose I could have worked on one of my ongoing fanfics but I really just wasn't inspired. I don't plan to give up on writing those yet but it might be a little while before you see anymore chapters for Matchmaker Madness.

At any rate, leave me a review. Flame me into burnt toast if you want to but at least leave a review!
