PRICE: AT FAULT

She didn't get enough sleep again—not because of staying up late to finish an assignment or a project—but because of a certain man who generously gave her flowers yesterday. GENEROUS?! That was not generosity! Because if it was generosity she should've felt pleased not irritated and worried. It was her first time to receive a bouquet of flowers from a man. She was expecting that she will feel happy receiving one that it will take her to cloud 9 but no, she's even regretting of desiring to receive flowers from a man. She—as usual—forgot to set her alarm last night and now she's running late for school. She was definite who the cause of this sleepless night was.

…I will definitely confront Yunoki-senpai and tell him that it is all his fault why I am late for my first period class!... She thought but of course, she knew better than that. If she confronts him, half of the population of Seisou Academy will bash and hate her. Meaning ALL the girls in her school will hate her. She can now hear what will the trio bodyguards will say.

"Who the hell is she to say that to Yunoki-sama?!" She shivered at the thought but she also gritted her teeth after thinking of a good retort to that.

"Who the hell is he to do this to me?! Giving me warnings for I don't know what!" She sighed. She can't believe she's making imaginary conversation inside her head. He was really getting on her nerves. She grabbed the railing of the stairs, she just noticed now that she had already climbed half of the staircase, which she always climbs going to school. She pushed herself; there is no time for rest. She inhaled deeply and dashed forward. When she reached the top of the staircase she collided to something…err…someone.

"Ow…That really hurts. Ah, I'm sorry. I'm the one who wasn't looking." She said bowing her head to the person in front of her.

"Hn…Yes, really. It is your fault. A sorry isn't enough because you also ruined my cream coloured blazer with your sweat." The man replied. She shivered at the tone the man was using, but excuse me?! Her sweat is not that dirty to leave a mark on that cream coloured blazer…Cream coloured?? Oh my… surely she bumped one of the music department students. Those brats…

"Hey! I'm not the only one at fault here! You were standing—" She stopped as she saw the face. The face of the reincarnation of evil. The face of Azuma Yunoki.

"And you were saying…Kahoko…" Azuma said with his arms crossed on his chest looking at her with one raised eyebrow.

"Yu-Yunoki-senpai! Wh-What are you doing here?" She asked surprised seeing the man who was the reason of her sleepless night and imagination conversation. It was a good place, only the two of them. It was a good spot to confront him but… when she saw the face of Azuma Yunoki looking at her like that, it was hard to pull her tongue and say the words.

"Waiting for you and now that you ruined my blazer you need to pay…right?" He answered leaning down so that his face was levelled with her face and inches from it. It amused him seeing her panting and sucking all her words back when she saw his face. He really wants to tease her then and there.

She looked at him confusedly. She looked down at his blazer… and what is he saying about his blazer? It's clean! No stain at all! And as if her perspiration was that dirty!

"And you owe me another thing." He added straightening up. He wanted to say: you owe me a lot; do you want a list of it? But he dropped it because he wants to see her reaction. Knowing Kahoko, she will make a confused face.

"I owe you…another… thing?" She asked looking at him.

Ah, he is right. How cute is her face. Her eyebrows furrowing, like what he said was a math problem she cannot answer. He smiled.

"Yes, you see, I'm willing to give you a ride going to school. Now let's go and discuss how you will pay what you owe me on the way to school." Azuma said still smiling at her and offering his hand.

She sighed. She had to accept the offer or else she will be late and she will not hear the end of it from him.

-.-.-.-.-.-

"If point B is in the interior of angle AOC, then m angle AOB plus m angle BOC is equal to m angle AOC."

…Huh?!... What was that again, sensei?!...

"So, how do I pay what I owe you?" Kahoko asked after settling herself down in his car.

"Simple, easy and you've done this before but I will say you are NOT good at it but I have no choice." He said as he pressed a button that activates the divider of the car.

"Now, next postulate." The teacher said.

…No! Wait! I did not understand the other one! Argh! Kahoko, concentrate you need to listen to pass the test!...

"If angle AOC is a straight line, then m angle AOB plus m angle BOC is equal to 180 degrees."

…Okay…I get that...Somehow...Consentrate more, Kahoko...

She shivered after hearing his response. She knew that this was a bad idea. She should've declined and just ran going to school. Stupid! Stupid! Kahoko. The way he responded was too familiar for her.

"How…simple…how…easy?..." She has the guts to ask but she knew very well that easy for him was hard for her and simple for him well for her not simple… AT ALL.

"Be my fiancé poser…again. This time to another fiancé candidate and no interruptions. I said to myself that I won't do this again but she's worst than Ayano, so I have no choice." He said it simply like it was the easiest thing to do in the world, like he was just asking her to carry a pot of plant to one spot to another. He smirked as he saw her blush, that blush that was the same colour of her hair or even redder than it.

She stopped writing what the teacher was saying.

You have a choice! She wanted to shout that. You can show your true colour and definitely the fiancé candidate will run away from you! She wanted to add.

"I can't do that again! No! I won't accept!" She said crossing her arms on her chest.

"And I thought you are a friend who is always willing to help a friend." Azuma said as he caught some strands of his purple hair.

She looked at him. Is he trying to persuade her conscience?!

"I am willing to help… but what you're asking is way beyond what I can do." She said.

"Like I said you've done this before. And remember...you owe me." He retorted. She owed him more than that. If she only knew what she did last Saturday then she won't be punished like this.

Now, her pencil broke. Her mind cannot relate to what the teacher was saying.

"Now, that we are done reviewing, please keep all your books and notes. We will have the test. Please pass these papers around." The teacher said giving the papers to the students in front.

"Kaho-chan…"

"…"

"Kaho-chan!" Nao hissed beside her. She jolted.

"Are you okay? You look pale…" Nao asked.

"H-Hai." She answered her friend trying to smile and to act natural.

"Okay… Here's the test. Good Luck!" Nao whispered as she gave Kahoko the test paper. Kahoko received it and placed it on her table. She read the first question,

"True or False. The Converse of the Pythagorean Theorem is if the square of the length of the longest side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two shorter sides, then the triangle is a right triangle."

"So, tomorrow, 4:30 pm. Courtyard. I'll see you then my beloved fiancé poser." Azuma said as he went down his car greeting his fans while Kahoko sighed and gritted her teeth as she sneaked out of the car using the other door.

…GAH! I don't know anything!... Argh! Azuma Yunoki! You are definitely at fault if I fail this test!... She thought as she scribbled guess answers on her paper.

naomiyukari08 scribbles:O.M.G. This is not what is written on my draft?! O.o Anyway, this just came out of my mind. I really, really wanted to add a little drabble to this collection. I feel they are OOC in this but in someway I can feel that they will have some kind of conversation that is like this. ;) I never thought that I will scan my Geometry book again. O.o But oh well, it helped making this drabble. :))

I just finished reading La Corda D'oro volume 7 and oh my! Azuma heard Kahoko talking to Lili?! They should've put that scene on the anime. I am betting or rather hoping that it can be a sign of them being together. ;)

Anyway, reviews are welcome. ;) I am now on vacation that is the reason why I scribble a lot. HAHA! :))
