Chapter 3:

Merry Christmas! ( Kinda late for that):)

"HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO" sang Santa in a jolly tone.

"UGH!" Ryuu said closing his ears in agony. It's not that he hated Christmas it was more like he just hated the fat, red suited man.

"You have been a very bad boy lately." he said with a happy jolly, rehearsed tone.

Ryuu brush pasted him like he was a piece of stone. He was in a pretty bad mood still. He looked at Jimmy who was talking in a iCarly tone

"You will rue the day! You will rue it!" he shouted to Ren.

Since she threw something at him. Although when she threw it, it missed and hit his girlfriend; Kaneyo. Who for some reason dated him because he has a good personality and is attractive. Everyone agreed she NEEDED to OPEN her eyes or get them just started laughing after hearing that. Along with Ren. They both enjoyed his reactions to things. It was bad enough Santa was STILL here. Ryuu didn't even want to bother going to the Christmas show that night. He shrugged then went up to his room.

Aya sighed as she doodled on her sketchpad drawing animals. She was pretty lonely in the designing room. Out of all the people she knew, she was the only one who did this. She heard as the Christmas show staff were rehearsing. They thought it was soundproof but it wasn't. It was pouring snow outside, not fun at all. Since she had to be stuck in this goddamn school all day. She leaned against her chair and sighed. She was about to sleep until some person kick open the door making her fall down backwards and hit her head on the desk causing books to fall on top of her.

"O-Ow! What the hell!?" she said as she popped out from under the papers, books, and other hurtful things.

"Yo…Oops wrong room, for reals." a voice that wasn't familiar replied then closed the room door like nothing

"………did…did….Did he just sat for reals?" she said confused but that soon went away as she saw the mess. "ugh…."

Thus, The Christmas show began everyone had a good time, even if they messed up a bit. Ren the red nose reindeer was so adorable with her reindeer outfit. But anyone looks cute in outfits related to Christmas. Everyone was there except for a certain person who left not being able to bear Santa's language. He was where you would always find a delinquent like him. In the alleyways picking a fight of course. He returned shortly after the Christmas show was over and everyone was meeting the new guy Timu, or T-dog, or T but for some reason did not like Tim.

"Ouch…man…never pick a fight when it snows…" he said as he rubbed his arm. He was pretty injured all over. Most gangs go around in groups. Apparently Ryuu's ran away at the start and left him to fend to himself. He looked around making sure no one was around. Since he was under house arrest. He rubbed his forehead, felt something wet then looked at his hand to see blood. "Great just great, what could get worse…"

"RYUU!"

"It just got worse." He turned to see Aya again. A slight twitch mark formed, he didn't understand why the girl was so nosy and wouldn't give up no matter what he did to her.

"Where were you! You miss the show and…" her eyes as she got a closer look at him. "What happened?" she asked concern.

"It's none of your business where I was or what happened…." he said walking past her.

Aya grabbed his sleeve "It is my business Ryuu! Any person would do the same!"

He yanked his arm away "your so nosy, you know that. I don't understand why you can't be like everyone else and just stay the hell away from me. Quit meddling into my life."

"I'm not nosy! You're the one that always keeps to himself! And! I have my own reasons to keep following you around."

"What? You follow me because you like me or something down that line?" he said joking so she could just walk away, he didn't really care if people like him or not he just wanted to get Aya away from him. Except the reaction he got was something worse. He felt his face turn a different direction and a stinging pain on his cheek. Aya apparently slapped him. He looked at the girl that looked like she was about to start crying

"H-hey I was just kidding don't take it serious-"

"Why can't YOU understand!?" she said interrupting him, her face furious with slight tears. "You're the one always trying to act so cool by not caring about anything! But I know you Ryuu, we've all known each other since we were kids! Why can't you understand that we're just trying to get along with each other! We do all sorts of things but you just stand on the sidelines, or you wait, or you just leave! People try to get along with you but you just reject them by acting harsh! When actually you do care! When you hurt the feelings of a person very dear to you, you apologize. Don't act like I wouldn't know and I'm just trying to pretend to meddle in your life for such trivial matters! I'm friends with Ren, I see you guys together. I know you hold her very dear to you. That's why you can't stand to make her upset! Yet, why is that when people other then her get close to you, you push them away harshly. People like you are people I hate the most!" She said looking at him with tearful eyes as she ran away back into the school.

"Aya!….."

His eyes grew solemn. He didn't mean to hurt the girls feelings, but what she said was all true. He did care when he made Ren upset, but he only cared for her because she never really cared about what he did nothing more then that.. He sighed as he walked around the school to the back door only to trip over something round. Falling flat on his face. He heard the hiss of a cat and a girl trying to calm it down.

"A-Are you okay Ryuu?" the girl said nervously.

Ryuu turned his head to see a black haired girl, with gray eyes, she was in a Christmas outfit. Apparently one of the performers. Ryuu responded with…

"Who are you?"

There was moment of silence. The girl had a hurt look on her face she turned away solemnly as a dark cloud hovered over. "That's the 3rd time today…" she muttered crying a bit "I try to get noticed and this happens….." she said lowly. "I'm Miku Walker…" she said.

"Oh, yeah the girl in the cooking club…"

She nodded turning back to face him

"…um…excuse uh, Miku was it? Can you help me, I can't really move."

"y-yes!"

30 minutes later…..

"There that should be it!" Miku said as she wiped her forehead, She had insisted in repairing his wounds whether he liked it or not.

"Thanks…" he said yawning a bit.

Miku looked at him for a moment "You know, Ryuu-san…"

"hmm? What?" he said as he looked at the girl

She smiled at him "Your actually really nice."

Ryuu was speechless that the girl actually said those cursed words in his face. Suddenly he remembered the incident with Aya. He touched his swollen cheek.

Miku looked at him shocked "When was that there! Oh my I missed it." she looked around for her aid kit.

"Don't bother, this I deserved so leave it be."

"…It looks new…did something happen befo-"

He interrupted "Aya slapped me really hard…"

"why?"

"I made a bad joke, and made her cry…so don't say I'm nice…" she slumped over looking at the ground

"but you are Ryuu-san!" she said with a bright smile

Ryuu looked up "What?"

"I mean, If you were really mean you wouldn't care about what happened with her right?"

"………that's…"

"see?" She giggled a bit, this was her first time actually having a long conversation with someone. "I use to judge people by there looks whether they were scary people or not, but in truth everyone has a nice side to them." she smiled. The jumped up startled as she felt hands on her shoulders. She looked at Ryuu and notice he was strangely staring at her intensely. Her face flushed a bright red

"R-Ryuu-san? Is something wro- OW!" she shouted in pain as the male apparently head butted her. It wasn't a hard one so she was still alive with a slight bruise on her head.

"???" she made a confused look.

Ryuu sighed as he place his forehead on her shoulder "man life is hell isn't it? you see, I'm not nice at all…"

"Y-You did that on purpose!"

"Yeah I did." he grabbed his jacket "Thanks, Miku." he walked towards the door that leaded into the hall ways.

"your welcome…"

He stopped midway between the door "hey, can you keep that conversation we had quiet until I say it's okay?" he said as he looked over his shoulder at her.

Miku nodded frantically "Y-yes! You can trust me!"

Ryuu gave her a rare small smile. It wasn't really a smile but you could count it was one.

"thanks." he shut the door behind him slowly.

Miku smiled Ryuu, I do hope that you can act like what you were with me to other people….
