Chapter 2: Every Day

Tokiya finally was back to his old self again after he reached his house, if anyone could call it one, because it was a freaking mansion. Sure he was rich, yet he didn't act like it. There was nothing he could do about it. And when he walked to his room, put his bag down, pulled back the curtains to stare out the window at the house next door, he couldn't believe what he saw.

There stood Aurora looking up at him and he swore he heard her swear as he opened the window. So much for being sane, yet watching her makes me feel good… wait, scratch that out, I don't have any feelings for that girl, he thought. Once she looked back at him, he had left his position at the window and closed it.

Aurora then walked back to the house and ran straight into Cassandra in the living room. Cassandra knew that Aurora found something or someone that caught her interest.

"What did you find this time sis?" Cassandra wondered as she saw Aurora's smile, which she didn't like at the moment.

Aurora was silent for a few moments as she tried to word it as best she could so that Cassandra wouldn't really freak out in a very bad way. "Um…let's just say that Tokiya Mikagami-sempai lives right next door to us."

"Shoot, are you serious?" Cassandra screamed that question as loud as she could so that Tokiya Mikagami could hear it.

"I hate to say it, but yes," she replied as she tried to help Cassandra calm down.

"Well, this is going to be a lot of fun, and I get to annoy Cassandra to my heart's content,"he whispered aloud as he made himself a cup of hot tea.

And what he thought became a sort of reality everyday for Cassandra, and yet he acted like his cold self, but Aurora continued to ignore him, which was the constant talk of the school, mostly from his fan club and in plain truth, they hated Aurora. Tokiya also got into constant fights with Cassandra even during lunch-the one thing that only changed was that he ate with them there instead of "wasting his time in the lunchroom" or so he said. But the only thing that could keep the over-protective sister and the "Ice Prince" as Aurora now called him; from clawing at each other's throats ironically in Tokiya's opinion, it was inevitably Aurora.

Yet this continued day after day until Cassandra had enough and as she walked past him, and slammed his locker door in his face as he was getting ready for classes after lunch, but it completely missed his face, since he got hit in the head instead. That got him sent to the nurse's office for an icepack. Aurora then met him in science after lunch.

And it surprised him since she started to talk to him. "So what happened to you?"

Tokiya just glared at her. "Blame your sister," was all he replied as she sat down next to him.

She sighed for his benefit and argued, "You wouldn't of had gotten hurt like this if you just stopped annoying her."

He then put the ice down on his desk, since it was starting to make him feel numb, and then he felt her touch the spot where he got hit by his locker door. Why is she doing this? He wondered as she continued to rub it. That made him feel a little better, plus Tokiya had to admit that she was good at making people feel calm-not that he wasn't, but he started to feel relaxed while she did this.

Still, he was back to his normal self when he heard Cassandra walk down the hall to meet Aurora. She looked pleased with herself, while he wore his usual mask that hid his emotions, yet little did he know that Aurora knew what he was thinking…

She greeted Aurora with a smile on her face, but when she turned to look at him, he swore that she looked like she wanted to kill him. That was when she hissed, "So I see you're not dead yet."

"Why, did you want me to die?" He asked with venom laced in his voice. His ice cold blue eyes glared at her.

"Maybe," she hissed back with as much hate that she had for him.

The dismissal bell rang and the three of them left school walking home together, with Aurora walking in between them so that they couldn't get into another fight. Tokiya was left with his thoughts as he walked through the door of his house while Cassandra and Aurora went to their house and stepped into the room that they both shared.

This is one weird day, especially with Aurora acting the way that she was, he mused. "Yet I wonder why she did that?" He asked himself as he touched his right temple-where he was hurt, because her touch lingered. And yet everyday from now on is going to be something new, he thought with a sly smile on his face.

Cassandra smiled as she watched her sister eat dinner, she knew that soon that the stupid and yet smart ice block would fall for her sister. Because everyday she'll find a way to get to him, she mused while she laughed inwardly to herself at the thought of that ice block falling in love. Slowly but surely, I know he will...love her.
