Yoh walked down to the pet store that day. Getting really desperate for a friend that would always be around with him, he decided to get a dog. He entered the pet store and went up to the counter.
"Hello there good sir," greeted the shop owner, "how may I help you?"
"I'm here to get a German Shepard," Yoh said. The owner bowed.
"Good choice sir," the owner said. He was very polite. The owner went back to the backroom and brought out a newborn German Shepard. While he was doing this, someone entered the store. He turned and saw that Anna had entered the store. Yoh laughed.
"Well what a coincidence," he said. Anna just smiled and went up to the counter, standing next to him. They didn't say a word to each other. The owner came out with a baby German Shepard. Anna gasped.
"Aw…he's so cute!" she squealed. "Do you have anymore of these?" The cashier shook his head.
"I am afraid not my dear lady," the owner replied, "my good sir right here is purchasing this last one." Anna rubbed her head against the German Shepard's head.
"He's so adorable!" she squealed again. The German Shepard also seemed to like Anna a lot, rubbing his head against Anna's as well. Yoh smiled. He might as well let her have him. Besides, maybe she'd like him more if he did.
"On second thought," Yoh said, "is that Abyssinian over there for sale?" The owner laughed.
"Aristotle is up for sale my good sir," the owner replied. Yoh grinned.
"I'll take Aristotle then," Yoh said.
"And the German Shepard?" the owner asked.
"Let Anna have it," he replied. The owner bowed.
"I see. That will be 2000 yen sir," the owner charged. Yoh took the yen out of his pocket and handed it to the owner.
"That will be 900 for the German Shepard my good lady," the owner charged Anna. Anna took the yenl out of her pocket and handed it to the owner. The owner handed Anna the German Shepard and handed Yoh Aristotle the red Abyssinian. They bowed to the owner and left.
"You're so nice Yoh," Anna complimented Yoh outside. "How can I ever thank you?" Yoh shrugged.
"It's no big deal," he said. "I saw how much you liked the German Shepard, so I thought that you could have it. Besides, I like cats." Anna smiled at Yoh. She now liked him a lot, except she was keeping it a secret. She was afraid that if her friends found out, she'd be made fun of. She'd never been made fun of in her life. She was always the popular one, the one to be friends with, the tormenter, the judge, the one to be with.
"Well, I'll see you later," she said, walking swiftly away. Yoh didn't bother to catch up with her. She could do what she wanted to do. He wouldn't stop her. Besides, he wanted to play around with Aristotle. He ran back to his own home.
Anna entered the Math room that morning. She sat down in her seat and saw that the Math teacher was giving her the strangest look: a loving look, seemingly. She shuddered and set her books down. Yoh sat down next to her.
"Hey there," she greeted. Yoh smiled.
"How are you doing?" he asked.
"Pretty good," she answered. She took out her iPod and put on the headphones. She had to listen to Mr. Fields first. He went over and snatched Pilica's iPod.
"What was that for?" Pilica pouted.
"No music in class," Mr. Fields replied. Anna sighed and went up to the front of the room, handing it to Mr. Fields. Mr. Fields simply smiled.
"You can keep yours," Mr. Fields said. Anna gave him a weird look and went back to her desk. Mr. Fields cleared his throat.
"Here are your math tests," he announced. He did most everybody and then got to Anna.
"Anna Kyoyama…you got an A minus!" Mr. Fields literally exclaimed. Yoh was clapping like mad. Anna just smiled and went up to the front of the room, grabbing her test out of Mr. Fields hand. She tried walking away but couldn't. Something wasn't right. She turned around and saw Mr. Fields hugging her.
"Mr. Fields?" she asked. "Are you okay?" He didn't answer and instead started kissing the back of her neck.
"Stop it!" she yelped. Yoh couldn't believe it. What the heck was up with this math teacher? Not only that, nobody else was paying attention. How could that be?
It got even worse. Now Mr. Fields tried undressing Anna. She screamed as he tried pulling off her shirt. Yoh couldn't take anymore. He went up and punched the Mr. Fields right in the face, sending him to the ground. He stepped on Mr. Fields' face. Mr. Fields groaned in pain as Yoh stepped off. That would keep him down. Yoh turned and looked at Anna.
"You okay?" he asked. She wanted to go over and hug him, but seeing that she was in the middle of math class she didn't. She just smiled lovingly.
"Yeah," she said weirdly. "Thanks." He smiled.
"No prob." He went back down to his desk. He'd just sit there for the rest of the period. She sat in her chair, which was next to his, and took a piece of paper out of her desk. She wrote a note to him and handed it to him. He unfolded it and read it.
Sit with me at lunch?
He wrote a response back and handed it back to her. She read it.
No thanks. I won't do anything to ruin your friendships or your popularity.
She sighed and wrote back to him, this time throwing it to him. He read it.
Thanks anyway. It's nice to know you think of others first rather than yourself.
He smiled at her. She smiled back and they just sat in their chairs for the rest of the period.
Yoh sat down at his usual table and poured out his lunch. He unwrapped his sandwich and took a bite out of it. He licked his lips as he savored the taste of it.
"Ham, cheese, and mayonnaise," he murmured to himself, "my favorite." He resumed eating it and opened his can of Pepsi. He let out a relaxed sigh after he finished his gulp of it.
"Delicious," he said. He resumed eating his sandwich and saw Anna walking towards him, by herself. He treated it normally and continued eating. She sat down across from him. He put down his sandwich for a moment.
"What are you here for?" he asked. She shrugged her shoulders.
"I just felt like sitting here," she said. He didn't mind. He liked her, and that meant he liked her. He'd just have to act normally. He resumed eating his sandwich.
"So are we meeting after school today?" she asked. He shook his head.
"I've got a physical," he said.
"You're getting your physical exam today?" she asked. She liked Yoh a lot already, but the incredible athletic ability, tremendous strength, amazing intelligence, hotness, and the personality and attitude was something that no girl ever sees in a guy. He nodded his head.
"After school," he said. She nodded her head.
"I understand." They were silent for the rest of lunch. As lunch was about to end she picked up her garbage and stood up.
"I'll see you later," she said. "Good luck on your physical." He smiled.
"See you." She got up and left. He finished his lunch and threw his garbage away. He went to his next class.
Yoh was sitting on the table (A/N You go to a doctor, they ask you to sit on that table with the white paper) at the doctor's office, shirtless (because he was required to be for the meanwhile) and waiting for his physical exam results. The doctor came out shortly after.
"Hmm…" she murmured, "Well Yoh…"
"What is it?" he asked worriedly. She smiled.
"You passed easily," she said. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright," he said.
"Yoh," she said.
"Yeah doc?" he replied.
"Have you ever considered getting a girlfriend?" she asked. He sighed deeply.
"It's hard when I've moved five times in my life," he replied. "I can't really have a long-term relationship." He paused for a moment.
"And there hasn't been a girl who actually liked me," he added.
"Well just keep looking," she encouraged.
"There's this one really beautiful girl at school that I like a whole lot, and I think she sort of likes me too," he said.
"I was just saying because I thought a lot of girls would be interested in you," she said. He shrugged.
"Thanks again doc," he thanked. She smiled.
"Anytime." He threw his shirt on and left.
