Summary – While searching for a watch in Pirika's room, Ren stumbles across a letter to a guy, "Asuya". RenxPiri. My first story!
(Ren lives in Yoh's house. They do not have their spirits, and they are in the same high school. Ren and Pirika are the same age)
I've decided that their thoughts will be in Italics. A really big thank you to Exploded Toilet Bowl and Particles of Sand for suggesting it.
Jealously – Chapter Three
Ren leaned against the wall, smirking as yet another one of his fan girls fainted when he flashed a smile at them. Pathetic, Pirika never faints or does anything like what my fan girls do when I smile.
He was waiting outside the ladies, waiting for Pirika to come out. They were still a long way from class when Pirika told him not to wait for her and ran into the toilet.
Who does she think she is, asking me not to wait when I want to? Wait... I want to? I must be thinking too much. And why do I blush around her when I wouldn't around other girls?
Grrr... Why is it that whenever I ask her about the person in the letter, someone would interrupt? I'll wait till she comes out and then I will definitely ask her and there will be no more interruptions.
Ren was still thinking about why Pirika had such an effect on him when he was knocked down by an unknown force.
"Ouch!"
He heard someone cry out a second after he was knocked down.'I must have bumped into someone... no... a person must have bumped into me. How dare he knock me, the great Tao, down?'
Ren was currently sitting with his bottom and the soles of his feet on the floor. His hands were supporting him, and he got up painfully. Once he stood up, he had a good look at the boy who knocked him down.
Ren noted that he had short brown hair, much like Yoh's, but he did not have headphones. His eyes were a beautiful purple and he wore the school's uniform. He's from our school. Strange... I've never seen him before.
Ren glowered at theboy who was lying sprawled on the ground. He stood up slowly and met his gaze evenly.
"Never knock me down again you hear? If you ever knock me down again, I'll make sure you never live to see the next day. Is that clear?"
The boy was just about to reply when...
"Ren! What do you think you're doing? Instead of helping him up, you threaten him. I had expected something better from you."
Ren whirled around and saw Pirika standing near the toilet door. Her face was red, and she was probably angry with Ren for being a jerk.
"I know you are popular with girls and all, but that does not entitle you to frighten anyone and I mean anyone at all. So what if they don't get the good grades like you do and are less popular than you are, Mr I-am-the-almighty-Tao."
Pirika smiled at the boy and said something like "Hi. Long time no see." The boy smiled back at her and they walked down the corridors. Before leaving however, Pirika shot Ren a very disgusted look.
You might have thought that Ren would be furious when Pirika talked to him like that, but his mood was far from angry. In fact, he was rather surprised and happy. It was a nice change from all the obedient servants and the giggling fan girls he has.
With Pirika...
I can't believe Ren's nerve. First being asuch gentleman then transforming into a jerk. Sometimes, I really wonder how he can get fan girls like that. And how could he treat Asuya so badly?
He isn't worth thinking about Pirika... Come on... think of anything... My brother! Has he been bathing lately? His hair must be kept in tip top condition. Maybe I should borrow some shampoo from Ren for brother. No! Listen here Pirika, STOP THINKING ABOUT HIM!
"Pirika?"
Asuya was confused about why Pirika had been deep in thought. He had initially thought that Pirika would be overjoyed upon seeing him, but... she wasn't even speaking to him.
"Yes Asuya? Is there a problem?" Pirika looked at him and tilted her head a little to the right.
"You seemed really deep in thought. What were you thinking of?"
"Nothing really..." Pirika did not want to tell Asuya she had a tiny little crush on the person who could receive the No. 1 Biggest Jerk award.
Asuya had been Pirika's friend for a long time and he could tell from one glance that something was wrong. He gripped her shoulders and looked at her in the eye.
"Are you very sure you're alright? Did someone bully you again?"
Pirika stuttered a little and lowered her head. "No... no one bullied me."
Asuya just left it as that. He knew something was bothering her but he won't force her to tell him. If Pirika wants to tell him, she tell him. If not, well, he still won't force her to tell him. He quickly changed the subject. (Do you think this paragraph is weird? I do...)
"Well, where's the way to the Principal's Office? We have been walking for a long time already, haven't we?
Pirika immediately smiled. "We just have to walk a little more till we get there! Hey, all you're talking about is me. How about you? How's your life been when I left the town?"
"It was alright, but a little boring without HoroHoro and you. Is that the Principal's Office?"
Pirika confirmed that it was and they stepped into the room. The room was square, with a blue sofa and a lamp on the right side of the room, a wooden desk and a chair with two other chairs facing it, and a huge shelf with loads of books on the left side. The principal was a kind lady in her late fifties who could be stern when she wanted to.
"Good morning Madam Tan. This is the new pupil, Asuya. He is here to collect his schedule." Pirika said politely and bowed.
"Ah, the new student." She rummaged through the papers on her desk and finally took out a piece of paper. "There you go." She put on a stern look and told him firmly, "When you're in my school, I expect nothing but the best. You must study hard to get good grades, understood?"
Asuya grinned and saluted the principal. "Yes Madam!" He bowed and marched out of the room.
Pirika burst into a fit of giggles. She felt really grateful to Asuya. He always knew how to make her laugh.
"Pirika, he is in your class. Teach him if he doesn't know his work. This is a pass which allows you to skip half an hour of class for a day and bring him around the school compound. You may go now," Madam Tan told her and handed her a pass with a red string to hang around her neck. She had a huge smile on her face so apparently she found Asuya amusing as well.
Pirika then rushed out of the room after Asuya and led him to explore the school. She showed him the library, the school field, the pond, the canteen the gym and finally the classroom which they would be studying in.
Asuya was really impressed with the school. "Wow," he would say, "This is way better than the schools located in our hometown."
"Yes! And there's a swimming pool too! You want to go swimming sometime with me? Oh, we've reached the classroom. Follow me in."
Pirika knocked and opened the door. She greeted the teacher, Mrs. Ong, and showed her the pass Madam Tan had given to her. Asuya then introduced himself as the new student.
"Good morning Mrs. Ong, I'm Hyuuga Asuya, and the principal said that I would be in your class.
"Yes, yes. Madam Tan mentioned that you would be. Pirika, go to your seat and Asuya, you can seat... right there, on thechair located inmiddle of Ren and Pirika."
Ren had a really surprised look on his face, but it was replaced by his I-don't-care look and a smirk a second later.
Who would have thought the boy from earlier was the person Pirika was writing to? It makes sense about how I've never met him before and why Pirika said long time no see. He seems to like Pirika as well. Maybe I challenge him to who gets Pirika first. Hah! He will never win.
Asuya walked past Ren and they looked at each other, and they had a mini staring competition. Pirika then nudged Asuya in the ribs and they exchanged a small smile. The two of them then went to their seats.
Ren saw it all and he was more than a little angry. Soon however, he calmed down. Maybe he isn't that bad an opponent after all.
Hi! Did you like this chapter? I really hope so... Please review!
Did you notice the "Hyuuga Asuya" part? I couldn't think of any last name so I wrote Hyuuga (from Naruto). Who knows? He might turn out to be Nejior Hinata's cousin for all you know. Just kidding...
I didn't update for a long time as my computer hanged right after I wrote about two or so hours... Then the whole thing had to spoil... T.T I only managed to write this as I got pass the "Start Windows Normally" part.(There was something wrong with the speed I think).Most of the time I don't... This was supposed to be a new computer too! (Takes the computer and throws it against the wall in my anger). Ahh... Still, review please! Thank you all who read my story/stories! Even if you did not review, I'm still glad you took time to read!
