"…."- Speaking

'…..'- Thoughts

Chapter 8

Shun's POV

"Silence. It's a library. And how about you go out with me?" I asked as coolly as possible. I saw that she was sitting in an isolated place in the library, seems like she's concentrating too much. 'Hmm… She really wants to beat me in tests, huh?'.

I waited for her reaction and instead of squealing and clinging onto me; which would have been an expected reaction from any other girl, she just put my hand back, instantly and glanced around. I was really surprised at that.

'She's not just any other girl…' I almost smirked at the thought but restrained myself. I saw that she's packing her things in her bag. 'Did she just ignored me…?'.

"Let's go outside and talk, Kaichou…?" she asked, slinging her bag over her shoulder. I shrugged. She had a neutral face, so I couldn't figure out what she's thinking. 'What kind of reaction is that…?'

Once we were outside, I noticed the hallways are almost empty. 'Looks like students are taking the tests thing seriously or maybe they are scared of punishments of failing…? Whatever…'

"So what is the real 'thing' you wanted to ask, Kaichou?" Alice asked. She was leading the way, so she was a foot ahead of me. But her question has really surprised me. 'She never fails to amaze me…' I smirked. 'Smart girl…'

Alice's POV

He really scared me there… Who wouldn't be scared when you are sitting in a library with no one in vicinity and someone sneaks up on you?! And not just that… Why did he have to put his finger on my lips?! That was unnecessary! If anyone sees that… specially his fan girls, I'll be hunted by them!

Then his question really took me off guard! I don't think he really meant that. Who asks a girl out like that… And I'm not his fan girl to react to that. What's with him anyway…? I instantly put his hand back and hoped that his fan girls are not stalking him or anything! Seriously, how does he put up with them anyway…?

I gathered up my things and asked him, "Let's go outside and talk, Kaichou…?". 'He's trying to distract me from studying, may be… But as far as I know, he never comes in anyone's way for his selfishness… May be he wants to ask something else…?'. Atleast no one's in the hallways now…

No one's POV

"So what is the real 'thing' you wanted to ask, Kaichou?" asked Alice. Shun caught up with her. She glanced at him to find him pause a little before speaking. 'I knew it!' she thought.

"Hmm. You caught me there, Miss Alice" said Shun as he smirked. "Just call me Alice, Kaichou…" said Alice and sweatdropped.

"Hmm, then why don't you call me Shun? You called me that earlier… I think…" said Shun and smirked, as she blushed a little due to embarrassment and looked other side. She recalled that there were some instances that she had called him by his first name… 'But the situations…were different!' she thought.

Alice cleared her throat, as they reached 'Student Council office'. "So…?" she asked, now looking him, when they entered. Shun just walked passed her towards his bag, gathering his book on his desk.

"Well, actually I wanted you to accompany me to somewhere…" said Shun, looking at her. He paused at that. Alice raised an eyebrow at him. He seemed reluctant, Alice noted. He looked aside.

"Just accompany me, Okay!" he said, finally, his pride taking over or was he trying to hide his embarrassment…? He ran his hand through his hair and sighed.

"Huh? What 'somewhere'? If you won't tell me than I'm sorry I can't help you" said Alice and turned to leave.

"Wait! It's important!... Besides, you owe me one!" said Shun, stating the obvious. Alice halted. Shun smirked as he had hit the point. 'This will do… And… Is it just my thinking or she always tries to avoid me…?' he thought.

"Okay, fine! Just because I owe you one…" said Alice and sighed. 'Why is he even asking me in the first place?' she thought. He was already ready to leave, as Alice was out the door, he locked the door. They walked side by side, without saying anything to each other. But then…

"Wait, I need your number, so I can tell you the details" said Shun, extending his cell phone to her. "Oh, yeah. Here…" said Alice as she typed her number in and handed back his phone. She smiled at him and bid him good bye.

Next day…

Alice giggled, controlling her laughter. Both Shun and she were walking towards the City mall. She just couldn't control herself from laughing when he told her the reason after they met. It's already eleven in the morning with a little hot weather. Alice wore a yellow knee length frock and a short white jacket over with a pair of white shoes.

He told her that, "My mom had insisted me to buy girls' clothes…" to which Alice had given him a weird look, so he continued, "… She needs them for orphanage… And she couldn't go because of some work. So, she asked me. Julie…is not an option when it comes to shopping and I can't ask Runo as she's tutoring Dan. I will never ask girls from school…". He explained and sighed.

That's when she started giggling as Shun's eyebrow twitched. 'So that's why he asked me…' she thought. Shun put his hands in his pockets. He wore dark blue jeans with a plain white V-neck, full sleeved t-shirt, folding the sleeves till elbows and a pair of white and blue sneakers.

He cleared his troat. "That's enough. Now, let's go. And don't tell this to ANYONE" he stated in a threatening manner. Alice looked at him, "O…okay! (Giggle)… But you… and girls'… clothes… (Giggle)"

Shun glared at her, trying to cover his embarrassment. Alice put her hand on her mouth at his glare. "Ahem… I got it. Let's go then! No need to sulk now…" she said as she started to walk. Shun sighed, muttering "I'm not…" and caught up to her.

Meanwhile….

"DAN! Why don't you solve using this formula?!" exclaimed Runo. She looked furious. Dan and Marucho backed off, gulping.

"B…But the answer is r…right, …see? Your answer says x=3, mine is the s…same!" Dan tried to reason with her. Runo's glare intensified. Marucho shifted from beside Dan and moved to Julie's side. Billy laughed at them.

"What is the point of right answer when the steps you solved with…are ALL WRONG!" Runo pointed out. "I see… You didn't tell me that earlier!" exclaimed Dan and shrugged. Runo clenched her fist. She looked like she was going to burst. She had been trying to control her anger for past hour.

"Guys! I can't study like this! Billy, stop laughing and write the answer already!" exclaimed Julie. "Umm… I'm trying, Julie!" answered Billy to her, scratching his head.

"Uhh… Julie…? You haven't written the answer as well!" Marucho pointed out and sweatdopped. 'What is this…?' thought Marucho. On the other side, Runo hit Dan with a book on his head. "Solve it LIKE THIS!"… What a study session…

"How about we go for an outing after tests, guys…? I can arrange if you guys want… But only if you all study really hard and give all your best" suggested Marucho and pushed his glasses up, smiling. 'You're a genius Marucho!' thought Runo and smiled at Marucho. Dan and Julie's eyes sparkled.

"Will there be free food?!" asked Dan while Julie exclaimed, "Outing! As in going somewhere other than school?!". Marucho nodded while Billy and Runo sweatdropped. The chorus of excitement was heard, "I'M IN!"

Alice and Shun were in the mall for almost two hours now… Shun looked irritated and glared at almost everything and everyone around. He had given Alice the list of clothes with the dimensions and ages, which are to be bought, given by his mother.

Girls had tried to flirt with him… He was even given attention by the girls who were with their boyfriends and was obviously glared by the boys… And most of all, Alice was enjoying his predicament. She always laughed when girls came and tried to speak with him. 'I sure will get back at you for that!' he thought.

"How about this one…?" asked Alice, pulling out a cute pink frock, which was for seven to eight years old girl. She was standing a few meters away from him, where the children section starts. Shun stood a few feet away from changing room, hands folded on his chest and glared at her, still angry that she had laughed on him and said, "Take whatever you want. I don't care".

"Okay!" replied Alice and turned to hide her smile. 'He seems to be angry with me… But that was fun to watch! I should have taken a video!' she thought and searched another dress.

"Hey there… Can you tell me how do I look in this dress?"

Shun glanced to his side to find a girl, may be a year older than him, asking him the question. She wore a short mini skirt, which was too short and a top which looked like a frilly bikini top, which he didn't bother to see. He turned to Alice to find her looking through clothes, ignoring the women beside him. His eyebrow twitched when he heard the girl say, "Are you alone?"

'Can't she see I'm not interested?! Why do they even bother to approach me!' he thought and was going to tell to 'buzz off', but was surprised when she put her arm around his hand, saying, "I'm alone too… How about-…" her sentence was cut off by Alice.

"Hey, I haven't checked there, Shu…? Uhh…" Alice glanced at the woman, hugging Shun's arm while Shun was relieved to see Alice but his face showed annoyance.

On the other hand, Alice was trying hard to control her laugh. Just then, he smirked. He shrugged off the woman's hand and suddenly hugged Alice, surprising her.

"There you are… You took long enough…"
