Don't own Special A.

Hikari POV

My eyes fluttered open and I jump out of my sheets, stepping on all my papers and books that took ownership of the floor.

I know it sounds weird, but I'm excited for school. I love learning and being challenged to try my very best.

I've only just started attending Hakusenkan, but I liked it. I was so busy with my schedule that I didn't take the time to make friends. Now, I was ready to go and find new friends! Although, the only thing that brought me down was the fact that I don't have a lot of classes with Akira and Megumi because they were in some special class.

I got ready swiftly and walked out into the kitchen for some breakfast.

The smell of fresh bread and croissants wafted around the room. I sat down in a daze from the fresh aroma that engulfed me.

"Ohayo, Akira, Megumi." I plopped myself into an open seat.

"Ohayo, my lovely Hikari! Enjoy your meal! Eat a lot!" Akira bombarded my plate with all of her light, flakey creations.

"I would love to, Akira, but I don't want to be too full. I want to be awake and ready for the exams that start today."

"Oh yes, the ranking exams are today. I bet you studied all night. Good luck, Hikari," wrote Megumi on her notepad. I nodded and finished my tea. "Don't you guys need to get ready for school?" I wondered why this school even had a ranking exam.

I wanted to leave before them because I wanted to get to class and ask a few questions before the exam. "I'll see you guys later! I want to get to school. Bye!" I dashed out the door and started walking when I got to the sidewalk. School was pretty far, but I found out if I walked at a brisk pace I would make it there in fifteen minutes.

I started day dreaming while walking until I heard a car honk its horn behind me. I stopped and looked back; the car drove until it was a few feet in front of me.

I started walking again and I passed the car. The dark, tinted window slid down and a voice said, "Hikari, would you like a ride to school?"

Oh no! Is he trying to kidnap me? I know self defense! No! I should run! When I started running that car came after me. I kept running and arrived at school. Good, I'm safe at school. Take that Stalker-san!

I turned to walk into school until I heard a familiar voice behind me, "Hikari, would you like to inform me why you ran away from me after I asked you politely if you would like a ride to school?"

"Eh?" I turned around and gasped to see that it was my boss, the one and only, Takishima Kei. I started rambling for some reason, "I'm sorry Takishima-san! I thought you were a stalker or something. So I ran and you were chasing after me so I ran faster and…"

He had a cocky smirk on his face and said, "Why would I stalk you Ni-san?"

I'm pretty sure my face was a burning red. The steam built up from my anger made me blow, "DON'T CALL ME NI-SAN!"

He just chuckled, "I hope you're ready for the ranking exams today. I'll see you for the physical fitness first, Ni-san." He walked away as I stood there boiling, not with anger, but excitement for my upcoming battle with my rival!

LATER…

Hmm… I wonder where the locker rooms are…

I walked briskly up to a door that said LOCKER ROOM on it and pushed in through the door while unbuttoning my dress shirt quickly, not paying attention to the word that was scribbled on; I couldn't wait to go against Takashima.

"HIKARI?" I halted and my head shot up to see who called my name. It was none other than my male rival, Takashima.

He was just standing there with his shirt unbuttoned and his tie loosely dangling around his neck. His abs looked like they were the models for a Greek God sculpture. His skin looked so smooth; I almost walked up to him and touched him.

When I finally snapped out of the weird trance I said, "Takashima! Why are you in the girls' locker room? Pervert!"

His shocked expression soon morphed into a smirk, "I do believe that this is the boys' locker room, Hikari." He stopped talking for a moment and shot glares, that would make Sadako cower behind a chair, at all the guys in the room who were staring at me funny. I'm not sure why though…

"Hikari, would you mind buttoning up your shirt? And leaving? You are most definitely in the male locker room." Once he told me, I grabbed my sweater and covered myself, my face was on fire.

"Uh… y-yeah… sorry… I-I'll just go." I ran out of there as quickly as my feet would take me. I Heard Takashima call after me, "See you in the gym, Ni-san."

I turned around and shouted, "JUST YOU WAIT TAKASHIMA! I'LL MAKE SURE YOU NEVER CALL ME NI-SAN AGAIN!" I ran toward the other locker room, hoping it was girls' this time.

Kei POV

What to do with this girl! So infuriating! How can she be so naïve to waltz into the boys' locker room half naked?

I should kill all those guys who even took a glance at her soft pale skin. They won't dare look at her again unless they have a death wish.

I walked into the gym and looked around to see if Hikari was around. Then, I saw her stretching by the bleachers. How adorable.

I walked up to her and teased, "Now, Ni-san, why waste your time preparing to come second?"

She looked up at me with her liquid, onyx eyes, "Takashima! I will always try my best because I want you to always try your best as well! Don't hold back!" She stuck her fist out to me.

I smiled; she never ceased to amaze me. "I'm looking forward to it. Don't over work yourself."

She looked up at me with confusion coloring her face. I just had to tease her, "Ni-san."

I turned and started walking when I heard her ground her teeth together, "DON'T CALL ME NI-SAN!" I could have sworn the ground shook.

The testing started; one boy and one girl would take their test at the same time. It wasn't based on names, so the teachers started with whoever volunteered.

I knew Hikari would rise to the occasion and go first, so I started as well.

She was amazing, I couldn't keep my eyes off of her as she flipped through the air or ran fluidly around the track.

She was the most beautiful creature I have ever laid my eyes on. But, I, of course, couldn't lose. I made sure to keep a pace a bit higher than hers so that she wouldn't feel bad when she lost.

"It's our last activity, Takashima! I may have lost the other activities, but I'm not giving in!" She was just so marvelous sometimes.

I decided I would let her win this time, how much could it hurt?

We got ready at our start positions to do the hurdles. When the gun sounded, I took the lead and slowly fell behind one hurdle. We got to the end and she had won.

I wanted to see the smile on her face; her smile was soon becoming my favorite thing to see, besides her blush of course.

"Congratulations, Hikari." I held my hand out to her, but when I looked at her face, I saw a mixture of emotions, not excitement.

Hurt. Sadness. Anger. They filled her eyes. A tear streaked down her face and my heart stopped. What had I done?
