Thank you SparkleFace, Canichan001 and Magica Ring for the lovely, helpful and motivating review! :D :*And all the lovely people who favorited and are following my story. Lots and lots of moe flowers for all!

Canichan001: i took up your suggestion and put the thoughts in first person. And i indeed think it feels better. xoxo.

and another quirky thought: i write while listening to music as it helps me concentrate and the music that helped me write it are 'Impossible'by James Arthur and 'End of Hunger games:Music of Panem' . Give it an ear. ;)

Now i present: chapter 2! :)

DISCLAIMER: I regrettably don't own this superhuman couple but for this plot, i am their puppeteer! Hehahaha *evil laugh*

Chapter 2:

Usui woke up and looked towards the glass wall just in time to witness the first glimpse of light peeking through the clouds. The digital clock indicated 5:15am. He turned his back to that breath-taking scene, got up and walked off to wash his face. The mirror reflected a blonde handsome man with sunken emerald eyes.

I am better off alone…again…

He signed. Usui was not the type of guy to cry over relationships. He never had a proper relationship with anyone anyway. All he had ever known was neglect and disapproval from all of the people who were related to his mother. He was never given any opportunity to consider them remotely as a family and he was sure that the feelings were mutual. An involuntary smile crept on his lips.

I bet if those girls, who fight for my attention, ever get to know my history and lineage; I don't think they will ever want to be associated with me. Maybe Ayuzawa thought so too but she was too kind-hearted and polite to endure me for this long.

He felt a sharp pang at that very thought. I always thought she was different.

Usui shrugged.

I shouldn't have hoped that much from her anyway. She's not the one to blame.

'Anyway, Takumi, you better get ready for school!' Said Usui loudly to himself.

It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

Usui smiled at the quote his subconscious just popped.

He looked at the clock: 5:30am!

Well plenty of time to kill. I wonder what Ayu-

He stopped his thoughts just at the nick of time. He frowned and sat on the kitchen chair and fished a notepad from a pile of stationary items stacked on the table.

He wrote DAILY ROUTINE in caps and put the pen on his lips as he wondered what to jot down.

This is a crazy idea but I have read somewhere that jotting things down helps to not lose sight of the goal. and my goal? To stop myself from seeing her as painful or frustrating it may be. And that will be only possible if I keep myself engaged to give me as little time possible to think. Let's see…

1) Practice martial arts 2 hrs every morning. I was slacking off lately.

2) Get ready.Geez, wouldn't I do it, even if I don't jot it down?

3) Go off to school.And be a model student for once, perhaps?

4) Return and make dinner. No more Maid-Latte.

5) Push-ups till exhausted.

6) Practice violin.I can imagine teacher having a heart-attack if he sees me putting in on my daily routine.

7) Stop thinking about her.Ah..well…the sole purpose of the list.

He held the list at an arm distance and read and re-read all the points in increasing succession.

Since when did I get SO corny to write a list? What a lame list but who's there to judge me anyway?

He half-made up his mind to throw it away but got up and pinned that on the refrigerator door just below the picture of Misaki and him taken at the Maid-Latte. He smiled a little.

At least, I can see her here if not anywhere else.

His eyes lingered over her eyes and how her dark brown hair complements her fiery amber eyes.

'Time for martial arts! No slacking off master Takumi.', said Usui to himself as he tore his gaze from the picture and turned towards the living room, smiling as he imitated his childhood care-taker's tone.
He's probably the only one who ever cared about me.

With that thought, he started his warm-up routine from basics to more complicated once until his mind got devoid of all thoughts but the synchronization of his hand and body and was only brought back to earth when he heard his clock beep 8am.

School time.

His once favorite phase of the day was now not so favorite anymore.

He washed, changed and ate some leftover food before looking at the picture pinned on the refrigerator, his eyes softened as he said, 'See you, Ayuzawa.' With a sad smile and started off for school.

He reached the school gate just in time to see the Student Council President scold some juniors with her back to him. He stood there for a moment to observe her from a distance and smiled subconsciously. Her determined stance, her strong voice, her confident aura…she's so per-

He stopped himself just as he realized that he should not wander on that territory and spotted her turning around towards him. He swiftly averted his gaze and continued on his way to class. Thank god we are not in the same homeroom.

Meanwhile….

Misaki turned around and stared at the deserted spot from where she definitely felt someone's eyes boring on her back. She looked around to spot any sign of a distinguished spiked blonde head amongst the sea of chestnut browns and ravens.

Wasn't the alien there? Has he arrived? Then why didn't he greet me? Is he still mad about last night? Naaah, not possible!

She shook her head as if to get rid of her thoughts and immediately spotted another student arriving without his uniform properly tucked. 'You! Tuck your shirt in properly.'

I hope Usui doesn't skip school today.

What do you think? OOC much?

Review! It helps me stay motivated and keep on writing!
