Chapter 4♣

BRIIIIIIIIIING! The school bell finally rang. It's time for recess now, with her totally worn out look, Pirika walked out of her classroom. She could hear the voices of mocking and laughing around her. Flashbacks...

Pirika was sitting by her desk probably doing the exam sheets that the teacher gave. Suddenly, tiny papers were thrown to her desk. Soon little papers were all over her desk.

"What the?" Before she could finish her words she heard a loud bang on her desk.

"Miss Usui, I can't believe you cheated in class. And the price you pay is." The teacher took Pirika's paper and tore it in front of her. "Zero." He spoke, "If I find anyone who cheated again. This is what will happen to you all. Understood? Miss Usui?"

End of flashbacks. Pirika walked to her locker and opened it expecting to find her Onichan's home-made lunch but all she saw was nothing. Not even a trace of her sandwich cheese, no nothing.

"Darn it!" Pirika slammed her locker shut.

Angry and hungry, she laid her back on the closed locker then suddenly she heard a mocking tone said, "So have you surrender? Cockroach?"

Pirika narrowed her eyes. She knew the voice too well. She immediately straightened up but was greeted with a sharp blade pointing towards her throat. Only inches then she will be cut, but she still stood calm with her eyes locked onto her opponent. "Are you going to beat up a girl?" She asked in a mocking tone. "Eh? Tao?"

"Urusai!" Ren shouted nearing his Quen Dao towards the girl's throat.

Pirika did not make a move she just stood there locking eyes. Suddenly a voice broke the tension, "Oi Ren, I must say that this stuff is delicious."

Pirika turned, "THAT'S MY LUNCH!"

"I see." A brunette boy with large earrings said. He turned towards Ren, "I think you should give her the extra credits, this stuff's great."

"NANI?" Ren asked back almost unbelievable.

Hao narrowed his eyes, "Come on Ren, you don't want to spoil our mood today don't you? Besides, you should be preparing for your sister is coming home today."

Ren eyes widen with surprised. "Jun-jie is coming back? How come no one told me?" He quickly pulled back his Quen Dao and glared at the girl, "I'll deal with you later." Saying this, he ran off.

"Whew, that was close ne? Pirika-chan?" Hao asked in a rather merry and mocking tone. Pirika just stared at him without a word, "What! It's not like I want to help you but my Otouto asked me to. Geez, I'm really wasting my time trying to save people like you." He turned and walked away, "Ja."

Pirika lowered her head, 'Yoh tried to save me? But why?' Pirika thought. 'Maybe…just maybe he was different from the others.' A slight blush crept her cheek as she thought.

XXX

"Are the F4s really that bad?" A silver hair girl asked her friend when they were selling cakes at the bakery.

Pirika nodded. "Uh-huh." She said without looking.

The silver hair girl known as Jeanne laughed slightly, "Sigh, I wish my school was as cool as yours." She raised an eyebrow, "I heard they're cute."

"CUTE?" Pirika made choking noise and said, "No way, they're just some spoiled brats who had nothing better to do!"

"Oh yeah? All of them?" Jeanne asked with a cheeky smile on her face.

A slight blush crept Pirika's cheek as she whispered softly, "Well…there's only one who is different from the others." She didn't realize that she was smiling to herself.

"Ooh, I see." Jeanne said with a giggle, "You like him?"

Pirika immediately snapped out of her daydream, "Of course not, I…" Before she could finish her words, they both heard the bell of the shop rang and two customers walked in. Pirika's eyes were wide opened and a slight blush was on her face when she saw the person who went into the bakery.

"Yoh?"
