"Shit," I cursed softly as my books spilled out of my hands. It's a week after the party. (A/N: I think it's February or March.) Spring's coming closer. I can feel it in my nose. My allergies are the worst allergies you could ever imagine. It's like wherever I go, the polin comes with.

The bell rang about 5 minutes ago and I'm hurrying to my locker. I'm so stupid. I always lose track of time. It's as if time hates me. I think it does. What did I do?

"Hey." Hearing Dark's voice suddenly made my heart flutter uncontrollably. He leaned against my locker with his arms crossed.

"There are people still here," I hissed at him.

"They're all gone. I made sure."

"What are you doing here?"

Dark pretended to look hurt like he always does. "I can't even come to see my girlfriend?"

Girlfriend? Sure we've been kissing and stuff but...girlfriend? I never actually come to that conclusion.

He held out a tiny jewelry box. "Happy Birthday."

I was even more shocked about he knowing my birthday than the girlfriend thing. Words couldn't come out of my mouth. I took the present from him and jumped on him (A/N: I have no other way to describe it), causing him to fall over. My arms wrapped around his neck and my lips locked in a hot kiss with him.

"Miro!" I heard someone called.

I quickly got up. "Come by tonight please?" I whispered.

I turned the corner but not before hearing, "Why did I change..." What the hell is that suppose to mean? Oh well...I put it in the back of my mind.

--

"Surprise!" everyone shouted as I opened my door.

I jumped back like a mile. "Jeez!" After I regained my composture, I walked in to be greeted by everyone in my class...except for the people who hate me, aka Rya and her stupid posse, and Hiwatari kun unless he hated me too. My parents were there and my older brother who had come all the way from America to see me on my 15th birthday.

"Raidon!" I cried wringing my arms around him. I hadn't seen him since my 12th birthday.

He hugged me back. "Told you I be back on your birthday to see you," Raidon said. Raidon is 20 years old, 5 years older than me. He's going to...I think Harvard Business School to become an accountant. He left home at 17. Me? I want to be a famous writer or at least a famous reporter. Journalism.

"I thought you were joking. But I'm really glad you're here."

"Aw shucks. 'Tis nothing."

"'Tis something but not nothing."

We cracked up. It's an inside joke. Raidon and I wrote our own "Shakespearean" play and that's always our favorite line.

"We'll leave you kids alone now," my mom smiled walking away with my dad. "Have fun!"

As soon as they were gone, Risa started telling people what to do. Apparently there's a...feather hunt. Could that possible be because of Dark? That stupid no good beep. Risa's still in love with him. I'm going to-I haven't opened the present he gave me yet!

"And go!" Risa shouted. I ran off pretending to look for the feathers. Instead, I went to my private sunroom. It was built for me and me only. I looked the door and practically tore open the box. A...ring layed on the cushion. And not just a regular ring. My birthstone. Amethyst. The color of my new bedsheets. The color of my mousepad. The color of...Dark's eyes. Is he...proposing to me? Oh shit. I'm 15 for god sakes! FIFTEEN! Ok...I need to calm down. Maybe this means something else. Oh god I hope it does.

I slipped it on my left pinky. Might as well be a pinky ring. It looks real though.

"Miro! Where are you!"

I unlocked the door and went out. "Sorry," I said. "I was just-"

Shit...three guesses who keeps popping up out of nowhere in my life. Let's see...the choices are:

a) Dark drools

b) some random dude who I saw at the record store

or c) Satoshi who did show up. (A/N: I'm gonna use Satoshi now cuz I hate it when people keep calling him Hiwatari. I know, I'm such a hypocrite.)

Daisuke was talking to him. Risa was the one who had called me. She walked up to me. "He came all the way here just to see you," she whispered nodding towards Satoshi.

"Why does everyone seem to be pairing me up with him?" I hissed, soft enough so he couldn't hear. "For the last time, I don't like-"

"Happy Birthday Nataka san."

I don't know what came over me. It felt like I had no control over what I do anymore. My mind stopped working and I could bet that my heart stopped beating too. Before I knew what was happening, I flung my arms around Satoshi's neck.

"I'm so glad you came," I whispered.

He hesitated then hugged me back. "I'm glad I came too," he said in the same hushed tone.

"Spin the Bottle!" Risa announced to everyone at exactly 8:24 pm.

"But it's such an old game Risa," Riku said.

"It's fun," Risa huffed.

"For guys too?" Saehara whined as he trudged over to the circle.

"Yes," Risa glared at him. "For girls and guys."

"Fine, I'll play your little girly game. How does it go?"

"Miro, you first."

I looked at the glass bottle in the middle and spinned it. It went on forever. Then it started to slow ever so slowly. Then it stopped. Risa started squealing and about all the girls in the room were going "Aw...why her?" and "Why couldn't it have been me?" (A/N: Kinda obvious.) But I'm going "Why me?"

Satoshi didn't even looked surprised. As if he planned the whole thing out. Did he?

"Kiss him," Saehara laughed. "I knew it, you two are meant to be."

I twitched. Oh, all the things I want to do to him. Even as I walked over to Satoshi, I still had revenge written all over my mind.

The chanting began. "Kiss him!" was repeated over and over. Screw them to hell.

"You don't have to," Satoshi said. I'm taken aback by this comment. "Just ignore them."

I paused. "I dont' mind." With that, I locked lips with him.

His touch felt familiar. As if I kissed him before...I remember! It happened on that day when he came over. A white angel...what was it's name? Krad! He kissed me and it turned out to be Satoshi. Then he erased my memories.

"Get a room," someone joked.

I broke apart, embarrassed. I apologized and went back to my seat.

--

"So everyone left huh?" Dark asked.

"Yep, 15 minutes before you showed up," I said. "I'm so bored these days. There's nothing exciting. Phooey..."

He plopped down on the bed. "Does everything have to be exciting for you?"

"Yes! Boredom is not fun. Maybe I should learn a new language...Perferably Spanish maybe."

"You're so random. Before I forget, do you like the gift I gave you?"

The topic I wanted to avoid most. "Yep. Thanks, it looks so purdy." Curiosty got the best of me. "Is it an engagement ring 'cause if it is you can take it back cuz I'm like 15 and it's not even a legal age to be married."

"You're babbling and no, it's just a ring I made a long time ago and I thought you might like it."

Yay! I'm not getting married.

"It's the same color as your eyes."

"So I noticed."

Dark kissed me gently on the lips. "I love you so much."

He really did love me. Not like me, love me. And he also added 'so much' at the end. How did a girl like me make such a hot phantom thief fall in love with me?

"You're an eternal existance, how can you possibly fall in love with someone?"

"And I love you still."

I laughed. "That's cute."

Dark grinned. "How bad do you want me?"

"Oh god..." I muttered. "Stop thinkng you can get me in bed."

Dark cupped my chin and made me look at him. He looked serious. "Do you not love me?"

What the hell am I feeling? Oh yeah, scare.

I'm scared when I'm kissing him.

I'm scared when he's touching me.

I'm scared when he talks to me.

Why am I scared?

Because I'm afraid of falling in love with him. And I did.

A/N: That last part is sooooooooo cheesy but if you think about it, it's romantic. Have I been using the word cheesy too much?
