Oh my God.

Oh my God.

Oh my God!

I feel like a giddy school girl again!

I just shuddered for the second time today.

Anyway, as you guys might or might not have guessed I am in Physics at the moment, which means were going to delve into the wonderful world of graphs, equations of motion and a multitude of units' right?

Wrong!

It means Miaka!

Miaka, Miaka, Miaka!

I just shuddered! Again! Okay Shun'u, get a grip. Breathe in. Play it cool. Breathe out.

I was wearing a casual black button up shirt and gray khakis. Nothing too fancy, but it was a step up form my white tee and cargos yesterday. I mean I'm trying to impress Miaka here people!

Miaka!

Speaking of Miaka, where is she? Why isn't she here yet? Is she avoiding me? What did I do wrong? Was I too forward? What did I do to make myself seem too forward? Why does this keep on happening to me? Why?!

I was snapped out of my 'brooding mode' when I heard someone settle into the seat next to mine, where Miaka sat last time.

Miaka?

Nope, sorry to disappoint, it was Kouji.

"Hey man. Wassup?" He asked nonchalantly as he took out his file and notebook.

"Fine, where were you yesterday?" I asked, trying not to seem too upset. But deep in the cockles of my heart, I was slowly tearing apart. I didn't even bother to do my usual rant when someone preoccupied a seat in the back row.

"Just had to take care of some business out of town, did I miss anything?" I shook my head and returned to brooding. I could feel Kouji staring at me.

"What?" I asked a bit annoyed.

When a man needs to brood, he needs to brood; no interruptions please.

He shrugged and turned to face the front, "Dunno, you seem a little edgy today."

"What?" Now I was confused.

"Nothing, it just seems like you're waiting for someone." He said, and then added, "A girl perhaps."

Dang it! Why did he have to be so perceptive?

"It's nothing, seriously." I turned to look at my open file and fought the urge to glance at the door behind me. Kouji was getting too suspicious.

Right then, the class went quiet and I snapped my head back to see what, or rather who, has caught the attention of the 90 per cent male population of the class.

Rejoice everybody! For there, standing in the doorway was the female, blessed with Aphrodite-like beauty and charm, dressed in a black turtleneck sweater and beige skirt. Her auburn hair pulled up in a loose ponytail and she sent a warm smile in my direction, sending delicious tingles down my spine.

Wow.

Whoa, did I just talk like that character from the Fairly Odd Parents? You know, the green alien dude that's allergic to all things sweet and comforting. Whoa.

Anyway.

Wow.

The girls sent jealous glances and the guys merely gaped at her, even Professor Ryuuen was giving her a peculiar look.

Yeah, fat chance you queer!

Or maybe, thanks to Miaka's surreal beauty, he's going to be straight once more! Insert gasp here.

She sauntered off in my direction and sat down next to me, sandwiching myself between her and Kouji.

She said good morning and Kouji whispered in my ear, "I knew it, girl infatuation." And he grinned slyly, cocking his head to the side to look at Miaka, "Hey Miaka, how are ya?"

"Hey Kouji, I'm fine, thanks, how did everything go yesterday?"

"Fine and it confirmed our suspicions."

Suspicions? What suspicions? What suspicions are they talking about that I do not know of? Hmm? I flipped my glance from Kouji to Miaka as they continued to converse like I wasn't there.

The bell rang and everyone started to settle into their seats, and all I could do was stare and glare at Kouji.

I felt like a detective and wanted to interrogate Kouji.

How did you know Miaka? When did you meet? You have something going on between you two don't you? Don't you?!

Okay Shun'u, get a grip, breathe. Good.

"We go way back, nothing going on between us, just friends." He said casually, as if he just read my mind.

Oh my God! Kouji's psychic!

And I continued to stare at him. I must've stared for a long time because for three whole minutes, his face was envisioned in my head.

"Shun'u, stop staring at Kouji and pay attention, you may resume your discretion at a more proper and private time."

Laughter ensues.

What is this guy's deal and making my life miserable? Seriously! What a way to start the day.

My gaze fell to the desk as the prof tried to get the whole class in check.

Stupid queer.

Squeer!


I was the first to leave the class, hopping behind my chair to make a quick, uneventful exit. I had to get out quick with everyone looking at me like I was Kouji's secret admirer who had a crush on him.

Disturbing thought.

Very disturbing thought.

I shuddered again. They seem to be happening quite frequently today.

I was about to make a dash for my next class when I felt a tap on my shoulder. Annoyed, I whipped around furiously, "What do you want?!"

Miaka stared back wide eyed and a little shaken, 'I-I'm sorry." She apprehensively placed her arm across her chest.

God I felt like an ass, "Hey, I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else. Sorry. I'm really sorry."

Then she smiled at me and made me shudder slightly.

How many times do I have to shudder?!

"It's alright; I just wanted to check if you're going to call me later. Sometime in the afternoon?"

Oh my God she wanted me to call her!

Wait a minute. We're supposed to study later. Right. It's not like we were going on a date. Study date. But not a date date.

"Yeah, later then."

"Okay, I have to go now, or I'll be late for my next class. See ya." She waved and walked the opposite way.

I just stood there, watching her as she walked away. I realized people were giving me odd stares, but screw you guys. A hot girl just asked me to call her. Whaddaya say about that?

I was like a huge dork, with a stupid grin on my face.

I liked it when she said my name. It sounds hot.

Okay, think undirty thoughts. Think undirty thoughts.

But there isn't such a word is there?

I was proceeding to the library when I realized something.

OH SHIT!

Professor Ashitare's class! And I'm over fifteen minutes late! I am as good as dead meat!

See what women can do to you?

I stood in front of the door and slowly turned the doorknob. But alas, lady luck was not on my side today, the door squeaked, signaling my arrival.

"Mr. Kou Shun'u." Here it comes. Here comes the hammer. Brace yourself.

"Yes sir?" I looked up slowly.

"Take a seat please." I did as I was told, the stares of everyone in the class following my every step, "Care to explain why you're late?"

A million answers popped into my brain.

My dog ate it? No wait, that's for homework.

"Mr. Kou!" He hit his fist on my table and it startled me, causing me to blurt,

"My dog ate it!"

What the Hell?

"Mr Kou, are you trying to be funny?" He said icily, his steely gaze penetrating my head, "See me after class, and you better have a good excuse." And he sauntered of to his seat.

The whole class still passing me sorry glances.

I hate Wednesdays. Hate it. Hate everything to do with it. I hate you all.

'How about Miaka?' A question arises.

Bah! Humbug.


Here ya go guys! If you haven't read the edited version of chapter 5, you better read it. Or you might not understand what's going on. And excuse my swear word and grammatical errors if any.

Thanks to the reviewers! R&R.
