CHAPTER 4

"So how's your date with Mr. Cover boy Ms. Hoshino?" Rei asked Aya who was too busy reading the encyclopedia. They were in the library.

Aya lift up his head and smilingly answered him, "I really had a great moment with him." The truth was they had just their group study not a date.

"Well, that's pretty good." Rei sat on the chair facing Aya. As usual and as useless, he started the wasteful conversation.

"You've been so busy these days," he said.

"You too, you are so busy – busy stalking me."

"Stalking you?"

"Aha."

"Is that stalking? I don't know that."

"Stupid fool."

Rei smirked. He fondly watched Aya skimming and scanning the pages of encyclopedia. He thought of playing games with her.

"Aya…"

"WHAT!" Aya blurted because she lost the word she had just found in the book. "You really have this disturbing behavior!" She stood up and started picking up her things.

She wanted to transfer to the other table near the librarian so that Rei could not disturb him anymore. But Rei wasn't startled. He went on.

"You really changed. You're becoming a little tough and rough. And –"Rei surveyed her from head to the curves of her body.

Aya saw his pervert look. She blushed and she embraced herself. "What do you think you're doing pervert!"

"Hush Aya… Remember we're in the library. "

"I don't care!" She picked up the last thing she had on the table.

Nuisance was in the atmosphere. The librarian, keeping her temper, pressed the buzzer which means – SILENCE.

"Don't leave me this way, "Rei said in a low tone.

"And why? Huh! Excuse me Otohata, I am here to study, not for you."

"If you are going to leave me, you can't have your cellphone back."

Rei took her cell phone from his pocket and showed it to her.

"How come it's with you?" she asked surprisingly.

"You left it in the men's room yesterday. I –"

"Whatever. Now, give it to me."

"Not so fast Hoshino. You have to go with me."

"I am studying so give it to me."

"I know you're done and could you please stop making ineffective lies?"

Rei smiled at him foolishly and rose from his seat.

"Go with me and you'll have your cell phone back."
