A/N: AHH!! SCHOOL WORK!!! DIE, DIE, DIE!!! Sorry… I was venting… Well, I'm sorry about the short chapters… Many people have complained about the sort-ness. Well, I'm kinda writing these in my free time, which is few and far between anymore. So, I'm trying my best here. And if I seem inconstant in my updates, again, blame it on school. And on top of all of that, I think I'm getting sick. *sniffle* Well, with all that stuff said, on with the chapter!
Chapter 4: Lunchtime Conversations and Detention Revelations.
"Bleech! This cafeteria food tastes like crap!" Misao exclaimed, tossing her tray away from her. Some of the juice from… whatever that blob of food was, splattered onto Megumi, who was sitting across the table.
"Misao! Watch where you are throwing your food!" Megumi said, while wiping the juice from her arm.
"Well, sorry! I can't control where the juice from that thing goes!"
Kaoru sat, unusually silent. Megumi and Misao stopped their quarrelling for a moment when Kaoru sighed.
"What's the matter, Kaoru?" Misao asked, waving her hand in front of Kaoru's face.
"Huh? What?" Kaoru asked, coming out of her thoughts.
"Misao just asked you if anything was the matter," Megumi said.
"Oh, nothing's wrong. I… just… I don't know…"

"Would you guys shut up for 5 minutes?!" Kenshin yelled at the rambunctious group of skaters that he sat with. "I gotta do this essay ok!?"
The skaters continued to be as loud as ever, not listening to poor little Kenshin.
"Gah! Forget you guys then!" Kenshin said as he picked up his lunch and paper and sat at a table as far away as he could from the group. When he looked at his new surroundings, he realized something. He was sitting at the table that was next to the one that Kaoru and her group of friends were sitting! Kenshin began to panic. 'I gotta finish this essay, but… I… can't… stop thinking about her!!' Kenshin risked a lot when he glanced over at Kaoru.
* * * *
Kaoru had the impression that someone was looking at her. She just knew that someone was looking at her! But who? Kaoru looked around and saw Kenshin staring at her from the table next to hers. 'Ohmigod! He's looking at me!' Kaoru felt herself beginning to blush. After Kenshin saw this, he quickly looked down to the paper on the table and began to concentrate.
Kaoru, however, continued to stare at him. Megumi was talking to Kaoru, but when she didn't respond, Megumi wanted to see what or WHO was causing her to be distracted.
Megumi followed Kaoru's gaze and saw who she was looking at. "Ohohohoho! Our little Kaoru has discovered boys!"
Hearing this, Kaoru instantly glared at Megumi. "Shut up, Megumi. You have no idea what you are talking about."
"Ohohohoho! And she's falling for a skater, of all people!" Megumi laughed her famous laugh once again.
Kaoru growled. "I DO NOT LIKE HIM!!! OK?!?! I just happen to know him because we ran into each other, literally. Twice, actually. There is nothing going on!"
"Oh, well that's good for me, then. I find him very handsome. Would you happen to know his name?" Megumi asked, sounding intrigued.
"His name's Kenshin!" Misao piped in.
"And how would you know that?" Megumi questioned.
"'Cause Kaoru told me so!"
"Misao!!" Kaoru yelled.
"Ahh, I see," Megumi said thoughtfully. Almost immediately, she began scheming. However, she was not scheming for herself to get Kenshin, but for KAORU to get him.

Kenshin sat in Hiko-sensei's room. He stared at the wall and sighed. He had overheard Kaoru's *ahem* quiet conversation with her friends and he was feeling very depressed.
Hiko noticed how depressed he seemed. "What's wrong, baka-deshi?"
Kenshin looked at Hiko, and his eyes told the tale.
Hiko nodded thoughtfully. He knew exactly what was going on inside Kenshin's mind. However, he decided to remain silent, allowing Kenshin to stew in his own thoughts.
Kenshin sighed again. 'I would stay in a million detentions for her, but it seems that her feelings are not mutual. But, I could have sworn that the way she was looking at me… I'm such a fool…'
"Baka-deshi, you can't give up that soon. If you ever want to get somewhere with this girl, whoever she may be, you gotta take action!" Hiko told him, but said no more after that. 'That should give him something to think about.'
'Hiko-sensei's right! I can't give up! Just like I didn't give up when I tried a 720 for the first time! I can't, and won't, give up!'

"Oh, crap, oh crap, oh crap! I'm late!!!!" Kenshin yelled as he ran to his skate practice. When he did finally make it, and no he didn't run into anyone, he saw his friend staring in aw. He walked up to Sanosuke. "Hey, Sano! What's up!?"
"Shh! Look!" Sano pointed in the direction of the half pike. There, skated the new student to Onaka High School, Aoshi Shinomori, who was shredding up a storm.
A/N: Ahh! I put Aoshi in!! Yay for me!! I also fit Megumi in there. What are Megumi's plans? Don't ask me! I have no clue myself! Well, here are my thanks to those who reviewed. And for those who didn't yet, what are you waiting for!?!?!? Let's move it!! Or I'll sick Hiko-sensei after you!!
Crystal: Well, let's just get technical! Thanks for your support.
sync*in: Thanks for you nice comments. Well, Kenshin is smart, but he couldn't concentrate on his essay because all he could think of was Kaoru. (Crowd in background: Aww.) Hey, you could almost be considered a loyal reviewer!
