First Line Break means After School and Second Line Break means Time Skip

I woke up drowsily as I rubbed my eyes and yawned. Then, I bolted out of bed suddenly remembering that Hao was going to pick me up and I was running late. 'Shit,' I cursed, shooting around my room. After I finished my shower and I put on my clothes, I ran downstairs and said goodbye to my mother. At the door, I smoothed out my clothes and hair, I didn't want Hao to see that I had almost overslept. I opened the door and walked into the bright sunlight.

"Hey," Hao greeted. Once again, he wasn't wearing the school uniform. Today, he was wearing a cream-colored, button-up dress shirt and his usual star pants.

"Good Morning," I said, opening the gate and walking past him.

He didn't seem to mind, as he just chuckled and caught up to me. We continued walking without a word.

"Hey, what do you need tutoring for? That way I could zero in on one topic instead of going broad." He asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Startled, I turned around. I met him face-to-face. Our faces only inches apart, my breaths stopped, yet I could feel Hao's warm breath ghosting across my face. With his face this close, I could see every lash framing his mesmerizing eyes. His eyes were a beautiful chocolate brown, with a sparkle that boasted adventure and mischief. His lips were perfect, as if they had been sculpted to fit just right on his face. Everything about him was intense, he had a beauty that made you feel envious of his every feature. He was almost... god-like. I could not help but stare jealously at him, most likely blushing as red as cherries on ice cream.

All of a sudden, I was jolted from my reverie. "S-sorry..." I murmured, spinning around as quickly as I could walking, almost running.

I heard Hao's silent footsteps following me. We didn't say a word to each other as we walked through the school entrance. I heard Hao call, "See you after school," but I did not respond.

We met at the school gate. Hao was leaning casually against the entrance as I walked up to him.

"Hey," this seemed to be his signature greeting, "you didn't answer my question this morning. What topics are you not good at?"

I blushed. "Everything," I meekly responded.

"Ah," replied Hao, "that's ok, we'll just work on everything then."

I continued to blush. It wasn't my fault that I was out of school for such a long time.

"Hey, no worries, we'll get your grades back up in no time," Hao reassured.

"Yeah...."

We were already at my house. I opened the door and walked inside.

"Okaa-sama, tadaima!" I kicked off my shoes and told Hao to take off his. I put on my pair of slippers and found Hao a pair too.

"Okaeri, Lyserg! Is your friend here today? I made some onigiri and tea. Come into the kitchen if you want some!" I heard my mother yell.

"Ok Mom, I'm coming!" I called.

"Hey Hao, my room is the second on the left so you can go up and wait. I'll get some snacks from my mom and we can start the tutoring session."

"Alright," he said, already halfway up the stairs.

I took the tray of onigiri and rice balls and walked upstairs. I opened the door to my room and found Hao already seated at my table (it's on of those kneel down ones you see all over Japan). He had one head propped up on his hand and his hair fell like an ebony curtain over the side of his shoulder. I caught myself staring again. Blushing, I set the tray down abruptly and sat down next to him.

He looked up and grinned, "Let's get started," he announced.

Hao is insane. He knows EVERYTHING. From medieval history to algebraic formulas. Not only that, he's a great teacher. Everything he says is really simple to comprehend unlike what the teachers say. Today was history and Hao got to share his infinite knowledge on how Constantinople was captured by the Turks and turned into Istanbul. Fascinating. At 6:30, I gratefully slapped my textbook closed and heaved a sigh. Hao chuckled and said, "Tired? Don't worry, it's math tomorrow so it shouldn't be too hard." He got up and stopped right at my door.

"7:30 tomorrow, ok?"

"Yeah," I said. "Bye."

"Bye."

I heard him walk down the stairs, and say goodbye to my mother and then the doorway closed.

I heaved myself onto the bed and tried futilely to sort out these strange unknown feelings.

Translations from Japanese to English:

Okaa-sama - a respectful name you call your mother

Tadaima - I'm Home

Okaeri - Welcome Home

Onigiri – Rice Balls

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I wanted Hao to be like amazing. At everything. He's perfect. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Sorry I'm a bit high on Sprite and I don't like airplanes cuz that's where I'm typing this chapter! On an airplane! Sorry I forgot to tell you guys, I was on a trip to Minnesota for around five days. Eheh! But I still gave you guys like three chapters! YAY xD. I typed Chapters 6-8 all on my phone. I'm so proud of myself. AHA I love Lyserg's "strange unknown feelings", I'm just like it's LOVE Lyserg, don't fight it! xD. But, I'm currently in a jam. Should Hao and Lyserg do anything more other than walking to and from school together and tutoring or no? Cuz I think it's enough. But I dunno. Tell me in a review? xD
