The alarm went off and Chokuro was already awake and getting ready. She waltzed over and tapped it off and noticed that Dark did not even flinch at the alarm. She rolled her eyes at the sleeping teen then continued with her routine. The white haired teen entered her room again and picked up her CD player as she walked over to the bed where Dark was still sleeping. She sat on the opposite side of Dark, on the bed and waited until her CD was at just the right time, paused the CD then placed the headphones around Dark's ears and pushed play.

"Wake up…" The song started off softly with beats in between. "WAKE UP!" The song now yelled, the beat graduating. "WAKE UP!" It yelled again, this time making Dark jump up and fall off the bed. Chokuro watched him and laughed.

Dark jumped up from the floor, ripping the headphones off his ears and throwing the player on the bed. "What the hell was that!" The purple haired teen asked out of breath, with an arm in the direction of the player.

Chokuro giggled. "Hawthorne Heights." She said simply with a shrug as she got off of the bed.

Dark looked at her with a blank look on his face. "Why don't you ever try nicely?" He said mostly to himself walking to find his needs for the day.

Chokuro shrugged. "I do try nicely. But, it never works." She stated as the covers flew up in the air and landed like a feather on the bed.

Dark grunted and continued on his way to the bathroom. Chokuro rolled her eyes at him then walked over to her dresser, where their books and bags were. She gathered all their things together then walked out to the couch and sat and waited.

After twenty minutes or so passed, Daisuke came out of the kitchen and walked over to Chokuro. "Good morning Chokuro." He said with a smile.

"Morning!" She said returning the smile and looking at him from over the couch.

"Still waiting for Dark?" He asked, his smile fading slightly.

"Yeah…." Chokuro said with a sigh. "But, it's okay." She smiled at Daisuke again. "Have fun at school. Be good."

Daisuke gave a short laugh. "I will… Bye!" He said leaving the room and out the door.

Chokuro sat on the couch for many more minutes, examining her nails and rolling her head back, waiting for Dark. She finally heard the click of the bathroom door open and she jumped out of the couch and waited for Dark to enter the living room.

The purple haired teen entered, smiling. Chokuro looked at him with a tilt of her head. "Why are you smiling?" She asked.

Dark's smile grew. "Ooooh…. Nothing….."

Chokuro slapped her forehead and turned away from him, grabbing her book-bag as she headed to the door. "Whatever…. We're going to be late…."

Dark followed her with a chuckle.

The two walked in silence for half of the way before Chokuro looked down at her watch. "Oh! Shit!" She yelled, quickening her pace. "We're going to be late!"

Dark whined as he quickened his pace to keep up with her. "But…. Cho…. Who cares?"

Chokuro stopped dead in her tracks and turned around to him. "I do!" She said bringing her right hand to her chest.

Dark, took a step back. He was not expecting her to whip around like that. "Well, that's one person. Our teacher doesn't even notice if we're there."

"So what?" She said with a sharp tone.

"Well, if our teacher doesn't care if we're late. Why should we?"

"Because it is the right thing to do." She said simply, folding her arms across her chest.

"Why don't we skip…. Just this once…." Dark suggested, a tiny hope showing in his eyes.

"No." She said simply, continuing on to school.

"But… Cho… We don't do anything."

"And your point…." She asked, walking past the shadows of the trees, with a cool breeze blowing her hair behind her.

"Is that, why should we be forced to go to school where we do nothing. When we could go anywhere else and do the exact same thing."

Chokuro stopped again and turned back to look at Dark again. "I don't know. It just doesn't seem right."

Dark smirked. "Well, since were already late. Why don't we just skip today?"

Chokuro's eyes narrowed. "We're late because you are way too long!" She yelled, taking a step towards Dark. Her expression dropped as soon as she realized what she said. Dark was trying ever so hard to keep in the laughter that so badly wanted to escape, as well as Chokuro tried to keep it in too. Few moments later, the two teens were laughing and trying to keep themselves from falling on the ground. Chokuro had her hands on her knees and Dark was resting his hand on her shoulder to try to keep himself up.

"I…" Chokuro said, gasping for air and calming her laughter. "I didn't… mean…." She took one big breath in then stood up. "That." She finished, letting out the air she gasped into her lungs.

Dark straightened out his back and smiled. "I never knew you were looking." He said with a wink, teasingly to Chokuro.

She rolled her eyes. "Oh yes… all the time... Especially in the mornings, when you don't wake up for anything. That's when I commit my crime." She said, looking very serious.

"I knew it!" Dark said oh so happily.

Chokuro rolled her eyes at him again then began to walk again. "Are you coming?"

He looked after her for a few seconds before jogging to catch up with her. "We aren't skipping?" He asked, puppy dog eyes gazing threw Chokuro.

"Nope." She said simply with a smile. She glanced at her watch again, and began to run. "C'mon! We're going to be even more late!" She yelled back at Dark who started to run, but not without whining first.

They made it to the bottom of the steps just as the last bell sounded. Chokuro ceased her running and tossed herself on the bottom step, her chin resting in the palm of her right hand. "Great…" She said monotonously.

Dark stopped in front of her. "Ooooh. Don't be like that."

She looked up at him. "Why not? I do not like to be late. I like to be a good student and be on time." She stood up with a sigh. "But, I guess, since I'm stuck with you, I'll have to get used to being late." She dropped her head.

Dark smiled. "That's the spirit!" He said as he walked up to her and draped his left arm around her shoulders and brought her closer to him. "Don't be so bummed." He said, walking up the stairs and opening the door, walking inside.

Chokuro sighed. "Yeah. I suppose it's not the end of the world…"

Dark stopped walking and looked at her. "Why won't you smile? It doesn't seem right if you're not smiling."

She looked up at him. "I don't want to." She said, pouting.

The purple haired boy smirked. "Don't make me have to make you smile."

"Pfft." She said dismissively.

Dark's smirk grew. "I warned yoooou." He sang as he lifted her up in his arms, and carried her down the hall.

Chokuro couldn't help but smile. "Damn it…" She said with a smile. "You poop." She folded her arms across her chest.

Dark smirked. "Told ya." He said confidently.

She rolled her eyes, her white hair flowing as Dark walked. "Yeah, yeah. Can you put me down now please?"

"No." Dark said, adjusting her in his arms so it was easier to carry her and make sure she did not fall. They came up to the door leading into their chaotic classroom.

"Please put me down." Chokuro requested.

Dark sighed and, unwillingly, did as she asked and placed her on her feet. "Party pooper…"

Chokuro rolled her eyes and opened the door to the classroom. She walked in and nothing had changed. Desks were still askew, everyone was talking, the teacher was most likely sleeping in his chair and papers were everywhere.

"Told you no one would care." Dark said, following behind her to their seats.

Chokuro stuck her tongue out at him in response. She plopped down in her chair, turning her head away from Dark, crossing her legs and folding her arms across her chest in protest. Dark chuckled and sat in his chair, in front of Chokuro.

Meena came over with a smile on her face that soon faded when she saw the two. "Did you two get in a fight?" She questioned as she sat in her normal chair, she looked concerned for the two.

Chokuro had to think for a moment about what she was talking about before she answered. "Oh. No! he was just being all…" She searched for a word to describe the situation. "He was just being himself again." She said with a sigh.

Dark looked at Chokuro. "And that's a bad thing?"

She turned to him. "Yes." She said simply then turned back to Meena. "So, Meena, how have you been?"

The blonde looked at the two for a moment then to Chokuro. "I've been fine. How about you?"

"Oooh… I've been… decent." Chokuro gave a short laugh that was soon cut off by one of the guys on the other side of the classroom yelling.

"Yo! DARK!" They yelled over. Dark snapped out of whatever trance he might have been in and looked over at them. They motioned for him to go over to them. The purple haired teen looked at Chokuro for an answer.

"Might as well." She said with a shrug. "Otherwise, I don't think they're going to shut up."

Dark nodded and stood up. He walked over to the group, pushing chairs and desks out of his way.

Meena watched him until he was with the group. "Good." She said with a sigh then turned to Chokuro. "I was hoping he would let us alone for a little while."

Chokuro tilted her head to the side. "Why?"

Meena gave a nervous laugh. "Well, I have a question for you…. And It's kind of… personal…" She continued to ramble until Chokuro held her hand up.

"Okay, just ask it." She said simply.

Meena took a breath in. "Okay! I was wondering, uhm, are you … a lesbian?" She asked, not making eye contact.

Chokuro laughed. "No… god no…" She said in between laughs. "What ever gave you that idea?" She smiled.

Meena turned red. "Sorry…. It's just what I heard…" She studied her fingers in her lap.

Chokuro smiled at her. "It's fine. Don't worry about it."

Meena smiled weakly. "Thanks… Sorry…."

Across the room, Dark, reluctantly walked over to the herd of guys who were sitting on top of desks, or backwards in chairs, and the one guy who called Dark over, was standing.

Dark stopped in front of the group, with his arms folded across his chest, a bored look on his face. "What did you want?" He questioned looking from the group to the one standing, who called him over.

The one who called him over, straightened his back and cleared his throat. He had brown hair that reached to his ears and he was a few inches shorter than Dark. The brown haired boy looked at Dark. "I am Minogake Naruka. I am--"

Dark cut him off. "Congratulations, now, what did you want?" He asked, looking down at Naruka. He was shocked by Dark's behavior but quickly regained himself with another cough to clear his throat.

"Ahem. Yes. Well…" He leaned in toward Dark, as did the rest of the group. "We were wondering if it was true that your…" He looked over at Chokuro. "Girlfriend was a les."

Dark's eyes widened. "No! She's not!" He practically yelled, but not loud enough for Chokuro to hear. I don't think… He thought, questioning himself and Chokuro.

Dark left the group, in silence. He returned to Chokuro and Meena and sat in his chair, not saying anything. Chokuro looked at him, you could see the concern for him in her eyes. "Something wrong?" She asked with a tilt of her head.

Dark looked up quickly. "Hmm? Oh! Nothing!" He smiled at her.

"Okay… What did they want?"

"Ooh, they just had a misunderstanding that they needed me to clarify for them." He said with a tiny wink.

Chokuro rolled her eyes at him.
