NORMAL P.O.V.

-

Izumi waited for Kouji outside of the classroom as he was being lectured by the teacher. She watched him come out all calm and collected in her surprise. She was thinking that Kouji would come out all mad and everything. I guess Kouji can keep his cool. Izumi couldn't help but smile. She asked him what she had said to him, but he didn't reply to her.

"Let's go, I'm tired already", he finally said quietly closing his eyes shut and put his hands in his pocket as he walked.

Izumi walked beside him smiling. She thought that Kouji probably didn't listen to a word the teacher said to him while she was giving him a lecture.

"Orimoto, let's go to the next class", he said coolly.

She followed him again.

IZUMI'S P.O.V

-

We walked in the halls for our next class and I didn't really notice until now how big the school was. It was like a really big mansion. No wonder me and Kouji were late! This place is HUGE! There were lamps hanging from the roofs. It reflected on the walls which were light blue with a shade of black. I think that the school colors are pretty. It really is a nice school! I am so lucky to go here! It's clean too!

Izumi looked at her schedule as she looked at the next class and her face suddenly lit up.

"Yay!!! We have Algebra next! I LOVE math!" she said looking up at Kouji. He opened his eyes and looked at her.

"What? Tch, are you kidding?" he said smiling. "You are SUCH a nerd", he teased her as he laughed quietly.

"What? I am not!" she cried. "At least I'm smart!"

"Are you saying I'm not smart?" he said smiling. He liked kidding around with her.

"Well, seeing as you don't like school and probably don't pay att---",

"Algebra's right there", he said interrupting her. He ignored her and pointed at the door. He walked straight ahead.

"Hey are you listening to me?" she asked him

Izumi went up to the teacher and told him she was the new student. Kouji just went to his regular seat as she watched him. He was always sitting next to the window. "I guess he's attached to the window," she thought.

"You're the new student? Nice to meet you, I'm Mr. Yousuke. Well go ahead and sit on that empty seat on the right next to Lily! She's right there", he said pointing at her. She waved her hand at her and Izumi smiled and waved back.

"At least he didn't make me introduce myself like Ms. Ohishi. That teacher's nuts!" she thought to herself.

IZUMI'S P.O.V.

-

I was still nervous because people were still staring at me. I sat down on my seat and the girl quickly turned to me and smiled.

"Hi! I'm Lily Tsukimina!" she said proudly. "What's your name?" she asked me smiling.

"I'm Izumi, Izumi Orimoto", I said hesitating.

"You are really pretty!" she said to me in surprise. "I LOVE your blonde hair!!!" she squealed.

"Uh, thanks!" I said feeling more comfortable.

She was pretty herself. She had strawberry blonde hair that looked dark brown and was tied up in a ponytail.

Her eyes were small and the color was hazel green.

"So, do you know anyone else here but me?" she smiled flashing her white teeth at me.

"Ya I---", was about to say Kouji when his desk was empty and there was no sign of him.

Where is he? I looked around once again, but he wasn't there and I panicked.

"Oh no, where's Kouji's not here!" I blabbed out. I covered my mouth quickly while I saw Lily stare at me. So did the whole class. Even the teacher.

"You're looking for Kouji? Oh, don't worry! He ditches this class ALL the time!" she said whispering to me as if I didn't know, but I didn't know!

I stood up immediately. "I-I'm sorry, I have an emergency", I said hurriedly and bowed to the teacher. "Excuse me!"

"The teacher was about to say something to me, but it was too late because I was already in the hallway even by the time he said one word to me.

I ran around for about a good five minutes. I still couldn't find him. How was I supposed to? This school was as big as a city. Of course I was exaggerating. My blonde hair was flying in everywhere and it was really messy. While I stopped to think I was wasting my time running around the school when I didn't even know where he was. Then I looked at the sign that said "garden". I looked straight ahead and saw a whole row of flowers. They were all very colorful and they were the prettiest flowers I've ever seen. I smiled and inhaled the fresh scent of roses and the other flowers that were in the garden. I looked around and saw a very big oak tree that was very old. I saw a shadowy figure, but I couldn't really recall who it was.

I walked toward the tree, but quietly to take a closer look at the figure without them knowing. As I got closer I could see a familiar face sitting down staring at the flowers. It was Kouji! He was looking at the flowers. I looked at his blue eyes; I've never noticed his eyes before. Then I realized what I was saying.

"Kouji!" I shouted for some reason.

He turned around as he was startled by my voice. "Orimoto?! What are you doing here?" he asked me standing up.

"I couldn't find you", I said to him. I was breathing really hard because I ran around almost the whole school campus looking for him.

"Why are you here?" I asked him sitting down.

"I should be asking you that!" he coldly told me.

"You didn't answer my question", I said sharply.

"Eh, just getting some fresh air is all. You think I actually like sitting on my ass all day listening to some teachers talk about numbers that I could care less about…." he said to me quietly. "I'd rather stay outside and think", he said in a warm voice.

I spoke quickly. "That still doesn't give you the right to ditch class!" I said in a high tone looking up at him.

"And who are you to tell me what to do?" he told me.

"I---", was all I could say. What was I to him? All I am to him is that I live with him. I became quiet and tried to forget that whatever just happened didn't happen. Why did I even say that? He does have a right! I don't own him! That was so stupid of me, I really have a big mouth!

KOUJI'S P.O.V

-

I looked at her as she thought of something. I was really curious of what she was thinking. Maybe I shouldn't have ditched. Especially when she was here. I would've probably gotten her into trouble. It's her first day here too. Wait, what am I thinking!? I always ditch! Why do I feel bad that I ditched now? Argh! I'm being really stupid.

NORMAL P.O.V

They stood in silence for almost a half hour. All Kouji did was he kept looking down at her because her face was really red and that was funny to him. She just looked down on her shoes and hugged her knees because she knew that Kouji was staring at her and she thought that Kouji was reading her mind or something. Then he sits down next to her and suddenly put his hand on top of her head.

"Hey, sorry", he finally said to her while patting her head. It was funny because she thought she was a dog from the way he was patting her head.

"F-for what? I should be the one saying sorry! I was the one who opened my big mouth!" she said to him as her face turned into a ripe tomato. They went silent again.

DING DONG

Kouji spoke again. "Hey, let's go. Class ended so let's go to the next one." he stood up and gave her his hand to help her stand up. She accepted his help and stood up. She quickly let go because she was embarrassed to hold his hand. She wiped off the dirt from her blue skirt. Kouji waited for her and they walked together side by side.

IZUMI'S P.O.V.

I looked up at Kouji again. He was really handsome and he was really sweet too! I'm such a lucky girl. Why am I saying all this stuff?! Oh no, I think I'm starting to like him! Wait, what if I do like him? I put both my hands on my cheeks 'cuz I started to blush again and I didn't want him to see me. I looked up at him. He wasn't paying any attention to me, thank God. Then suddenly my stomach had butterflies flying around. Gah! Man, I do like him! Crap, crap, crap!!!! How can I like the guy that I live with?!

Wait, it won't be THAT bad as long as I keep my feelings to myself…
