Chapter 3:

"Now class, I will pair you up so you will get to know each other. I will start by pairing these two up. Better than a thousand hollow words bring peace." Master Fung pointed at Kimiko and Raimundo. Kimiko groaned.

Mr. Fung ambled around the entire classroom passing out blank sheets of lined paper to each student. He had already paired all the students who just sat down with their partners.

Mr. Fung started giving instructions. "On this, you will write 3 questions you want to ask your partner. These questions should be sophisticated and not simple like 'how old are you'.

Kimiko turned and looked at Raimundo. "What do I want to know about this jerk anyways?" she asked herself.

Mr. Fung continued. "All questions will not be yes or no questions, but open-ended. You want more information about your partner for this essay."

"Essay?" Kimiko thought. "I thought this was an English class where you read. I don't even care about what happens in Raimundo's life anyways."

The student called Omi raised his hand, shaking it in the air. "Master Fung, what does open ended mean exactly?"

"First of all, I would prefer to be addressed as "Mr." within school boundaries. To answer your question, opened ended is a full explanation to a question instead of just 'yes' or 'no'. Do I need to continue?"

"No master- I mean Mr. Fung, I think I understand." Omi replied.

"Good, we all want to be sure to ask questions instead of doing nothing. One who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; one who does not ask a question remains a fool forever."

"There he goes again." Complained Raimundo, "I don't even know what all of this means. I might as well flunk." Kimiko elbowed him. Raimundo kept quiet and rubbed his arm in a bit of pain. "Girl, you hit hard." He muttered silently to Kimiko.

"Any more questions?" Mr. Fung asked ignoring the two. No one else raised his or her hand. "Very well then, lets get started." Raimundo started writing like water flowing through a faucet. Kimiko wondered what he wanted to ask her so badly. It was only three questions they could ask, thought she did not really feel like asking Raimundo anything. She started spacing out, watching other students write. She noticed her friend Clay and the confused cue ball. Omi was paired up with him.

"Hey you." Called Raimundo.

"Heh?" Kimiko replied.

"I wrote my questions."

Kimiko looked at her blank piece of paper. "Oops, I didn't write any yet. Um, give me several minutes."

"Girl, your slow." Teased Raimundo. Kimiko glared at him evilly.

"How 'bout I ask you first then you can write your after?" Raimundo asked with a sweat drop.

"Whatever has it your way." Kimiko replied. Raimundo prepared to write answers.

"Number one, how many boyfriends had to had in the past?"

"Huh? What kind of question is that?"

"Just answer it." Raimundo said with a smirk.

"Hmph, none." Kimiko muttered.

"No surprise, that was pretty obvious, but if you want, you can try me."

"HECK NO!" Kimiko replied.

"Oh, what a loss. You are cute, but crabby."

"ugh, just ask the next question already!" Kimiko yelled.

" Fine, what kind of guys do you like?" Kimiko was stunned once again.

"Why do you care?" Kimiko blushed a little bit.

"Hey, I'm asking the questions first. Or I might as well just flunk."

"Then ask something real."

"Well, you need to answer me."

Kimiko groaned once again. "Guys that totally are not you in personality."

Raimundo started writing then stopped in the middle of his sentence. "Hey! Why?"

"Hmph, boys like you, are not for me if that is what you think."

"You will see eventually girl."

Kimiko started writing her questions. "Well, I guess I have things I want to ask you now." Raimundo showed his response with a grin.

"Finally, you want to know about my greatness."

"Not on my life, I'm just trying to get a good grade here."

"Then ask the questions, you know I want an 'A' too."

"Then why did you say you wanted to flunk earlier?" Kimiko asked.

"That was the question?"

"No stupid. Well, anyways, here it is. WHO THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!"

"Still no different from the other question, but I think I am the hot and sexy hunk named Raimundo Pedrosa. All the chicks are supposed to dig me." Raimundo click his tongue at Kimiko.

"More like a sexy beast." Kimiko muttered.

"Oh, so you do think I'm sexy."

Kimiko became alerted and blushed. Her eyeballs popped up. "No, no. not like that. Like a beast, but far from sexy."

"Oh, good come back. I know I will win." Raimundo replied with expression.

"Time is up now." Announced Mr. Fung. "You will use your questions and answers to form your essay about your partner. It must be at least one page."

"One page?" Kimiko said to herself. "I think I can only write one word about Raimundo. Just the word 'moron'."

Kimiko raised her hand. "Um, well, what if we didn't…finish?"

"You will need to get together with your partner at your own time in order to finish the assignment."

"Yes!" whispered Raimundo with delight.

"Now class is almost over. Get ready to leave."

Raimundo turned to Kimiko. "So when do you want to hook up baby?"

"Geez, I don't think he meant it that way. As If I would go out with you. By the way, why did you start hitting on me?"

"Well, I just thought I could have some fun here."

The bell rang.

"See ya Kim." Said Raimundo as he left. Kimiko just ignored him and went over to Clay's desk.

"Oh my gosh, that stupid Hispanic is such a pain in the butt!"

Clay started to laugh. "Kimiko, hard headed as usual. You seemed like you were flirting with him that whole class time. You guys are moving by as fast as a horse galloping through the town." Kimiko showed her response by punching him in the arm. "Ow! What was that for?" Kimiko gave him an evil glare. "Okay, right sorry."

Kimiko wanted to change the subject so she started a new conversation. "So, how that Omi kid?"

"Pretty odd for a little feller with a big head. Seemed Kind of dull."

"In what way?" ask Kimiko

"Well, you can start by knowing he didn't know how old he was."

"Interesting." The two started walking out the door leaving the classroom.

"Yeah, he doesn't seem like he's was from around this town." Clay said.

The second bell rang.

"Talk to you later Clay. We don't want to be late."

"You too Kim."

Kimiko searched for her next classroom. She felt someone behind her through all the chattering students in the hall, thinking somebody followed her…
