A/N: Hey guys. Sorry for the late update. I've been busy with school and my Junior Ring Day is coming up. Plus I've had a bit of writer's block and I've been having ideas for other stories. THANK YOU for the reviews you sent. Special thanks to Caelestis Dulcis for giving me the pointers. Thanks. Please enjoy chapter 3.

Previously: "Miss Kamiya, could I see you for a moment please?"
"Yes, Mr. Himura?

Chapter 3: Discovering Feelings

Kaoru stood at his desk waiting for what it was he wanted to say.

"Have a seat please."

Kaoru took off her book bag and sat down.

"Miss Kamiya, I noticed that you were not paying attention in class today, is there anything on your mind?"

"No, there isn't."

"I can tell your lying by the fake smile you have plastered on your face."

"Look Mr. Himura, I'd rather not say what it is."

"Okay, Miss Kamiya. Just please try and pay attention in class. What I teach in this classroom will be important for upcoming tests and I'd hate to see you and all the students failing."

"Okay. Goodbye Mr. Himura."

"Goodbye, Miss Kamiya. I hope whatever is bothering you will work out soon and that you'll feel better." He turned his head to look at the door but only saw it closed and saw the back of Kaoru's head walking away before looking down at tomorrow's lesson plans settling that she didn't hear what he said.

However, Kaoru had heard what he said and felt rather touched. Sure was a little angry with him for asking her what was wrong, but what he said to her about hoping she'd feel better made her smile for the first time that day and she felt a little happier.

On her way home, Kaoru and Misao were talking.

"Well you seem a little happier now Kaoru."

"Yeah I feel a little better now then I did last night and this morning."

"Well what happened that finally got you feel happier and smile for the first time since yesterday?"

"Well it has to do with Mr. Himura , you see he ."

Then Misao interrupted.

"Oh, someone has a crush on the teacher."

"I do not."

"Yes, you do."

"No, I don't. You see he asked me what was distracting me early in class. I told him I didn't say what it was. So, he let me go off and said that he hoped whatever was bothering would work out soon and that I would feel better and that made me feel happy."

"Oh that was nice. But I still say you have a crush on him."

"I don't Misao. Why do you think that?"

"Because you were blushing when you said that it made you happy."

"I was not."

"Yes you were. Don't deny it."

"Don't you have somewhere to be, Misao?" "No, why do you ask?"

"Because I don't want to hear about the fact that you think I have a crush on Mr. Himura."

"Okay I won't say it anymore."

"Thank you."

"Even though I know you have a crush on him" Misao muttered.

"What was that?"

"Nothing, Kaoru."

Misao's Thoughts on Kaoru's denial

I know deep down Kaoru has a crush on Mr. Himura. She may not jabber and talk about him constantly like I do with sigh Aoshi, but I do know that she has a crush on Mr. Himura. I mean if that one thing he said could bring a smile to her face that hasn't been there since last night after her break up. Then she must really have a crush on him or at least a twing of a crush on him. Oh, well knowing Kaoru she'll probably deny it for a long time.

Later that Night

Kaoru's Thoughts

I don't get Misao I mean her thinking I have a crush on Mr. Himura, That is absurd. I mean sure I thought he was handsome when I first saw him yesterday, but that doesn't mean I have a crush on him. Or does it? Kaoru shook her head at the thought What am I thinking? I can't believe Misao put that idea in my head now it won't go away. Humph Wonderful.

"Kaoru, it's time for bed lights out!"

"Okay Mom! Good night! Love you!"

"Goodnight Kaoru! Love you too!"

With the thought still on her mind Kaoru went to bed and fell asleep.

One week later

Kaoru's Thoughts

I don't understand what is going on. All I can think about is Mr. Himura. Why? I just don't know why I keep thinking about him? Could Misao have been right? Could I have a crush on Mr. Himura?

"Ugh! This is so nerve racking!"

"What is wrong Kaoru? Are you having trouble with your homework?"

"Huh, no mom."

"Is there something wrong Kaoru?"

"Well, there is something on my mind?"

"Anything you want to talk about?"

"Well, mom did you ever a have crush on a teacher?"

"Well yes I did. It was Spanish teacher Mr. Kanda. I thought he was so hot."

OO "MOM!"

"What? I was 15 and interested in boys. It happens when you get to be that age. Anyways, I would stare at him in the classroom for the longest time. I thought he was the one I wanted to marry and have children with."

Kaoru raised an eyebrow.

"Like I said before I was only 15" She responded to Kaoru's look.

"So, what happened?"

"Well, in January he announced that he was engaged to be married to a woman he had been seeing and boy was I heartbroken. I would cry for days but remarkably I got over it."

"How?"

"Well I realized that it was just a school girl crush I had on him. You see I saw this very cute boy one day and I totally forgot about my crush on Mr. Kanda once I saw that boy. I though about it later and realized that Mr. Kanda's looks were the only thing that made me fall for him and his kindness and concern about people too."

"So, what your saying is it was just a crush you had but it passed after seeing one boy your age that looked cute?"

"Yup and it wasn't just any boy it was your dad."

"Really?"

"Yes. Why did you ask me about this crushing on teacher business Kaoru? Do you have a crush on a teacher?"

"Me? No, of course not. It's Megumi who has a crush on a teacher. Not me."

"Okay Kaoru if you're sure."

"How did you feel around Mr. Kanda back then mom when you still had a crush on him?"

"I felt happy and every special. Plus I couldn't stop thinking about him and wrote his name over and over in my notebook. Good thing he didn't collect them. Dinner will be ready soon."

"Okay."

When Kaoru heard the door close she looked up at the ceiling.

God, I think I might be crushing on my teacher and please forgive me for that lie I told my mom.
