Me- Alright! Are you guys ready?

Ace- For what? I don't get this crap.

Mira- Shut up, Ace!

Me- Anyway, I do not own Bakugan.

Mira- So, on with the story!

Ace's POV

As I walked into Calculus, Miss Horton was already teaching. I gave her my tardy slip, and sat down next to Mira. Mira wasn't taking notes.

" Weird. She always takes notes. I wonder what happened to her?" I asked myself. I took out my blue notebook from my backpack and started to take notes.

" Mira, what is y= ( 3x+1)2 equals?" Miss Horton asked. Mira looked up.

" What?" she asked.

" It's 28, Miss Horton." I said, answering for her. ( Note: I know that 28 might be wrong, but oh well! I'm not good at Calculus! )

" Correct, Ace. Mira, listen next time or else you'll be going to detention." Miss Horton said sternly. Miss Horton began teaching again.

I tried to take notes, but something was drawing me away from my attention on the board.

" Why is Mira acting like this? This is getting really strange." I thought as I took more notes.

" Wow, Ace! You were rocking em!" Dan said at lunch, patting my back.

" You weren't even here to take half of the notes! Man, you're like a walking Calculus book!" Baron said. I smirked.

" Well, I am good at Calculus." I said. I looked at Mira with concern. She was just picking at her salad.

" What is going on here?" I asked myself. My brain was hurting from all of this curiosity. I had to find out somehow.

Me and Mira walked home in silence. I couldn't take it anymore. I had to get Mira to spill the beans!

" Mira, why are you ignoring me?" I asked her. She turned to look at me.

" Shut up, stupid. Don't talk to me." she deadpanned as she walked ahead of me. But, that wasn't enough to keep me quiet. I pushed her against a brick wall. ( Note: Their houses are far away from their school, so their route takes them through the city. )

" I need to know. Now." I deadpanned. I knew that my mom told me not to deadpan to a girl, but I had to.

" Get off." she growled. I tightened my grip on her wrists. Her wrists started turning blue slowly.

Mira bit her lip, trying not to scream.

" Talk. Why. Are. You. Ignoring. Me?" I growled. She looked at me coldly, but didn't respond.

I tightened my grip even more. She whimpered a little.

" Let. Go." she snapped. I leaned in so that our foreheads and noses were touching.

" I won't until you answer my question. Maybe this would help you." I said as I leaned in even more. I kissed her softly. Mira's eyes were wide with surprise, but kissed me back. We broke away after a few minutes.

" Now will you answer me?" I asked hopefully.

" It was nothing, really." she said as she walked off. I knew that there was more to it, but didn't push her any further.

We walked the rest of the way home, talking like old friends. We saw someone on Mira's doorstep.

" Mira, who's that?" I whispered to her. She shrugged.

" Have no clue. So, I'll be over in a few for Science. So, later." Mira said as she walked to her house. I opened the door and opened up the window, wanting to listen in to their conversation.

" Excuse me, will you please move? I need to get in." Mira said. The person looked at her weirdly.

" Mira, you don't remember your own father?" the man asked. I was shocked.

" Father? What is he talking about?" I thought.

" Father? What are you doing here?" Mira asked, looking at the man. I stared at him closely and almost jumped out of my perch on the daybed in the living room.

" It's Professor Clay! What is that dirty chap doing here, messing with my Mira?" I screamed in my head.

" Young lady, who was that young boy walking with you a few minutes ago?" he asked suspiciously.

" Oh, Ace? He lives next door so we have to walk to school together." Mira replied.

" I hope so, cause if you like this man, you know what will happen next. Am I right?" he asked.

" Yes, father." she said before walking inside, leaving her dad on the doorstep. I closed my window shut.

" What is he up to this time? I won't let him get close to Mira, no matter what." I said to myself as I took out my science book and began reading Chapter 19.

Me- Done!

Dan- What does Ace mean by what he said in the end?

Me- You will have to find out for yourself...

Dan- Aw, come on!

Mira- If you think you know what Ace meant in the last two italics in the end, please review. You can also review orally, too.
