"School's starting tomorrow…" She sighed. She laid her head on the table, cheek slightly deformed.

"Eh? I never thought that you'd sigh over that when you're always so enthusiastic about the school activities."

"I love them! But I tend to oversleep for the first weeks…"

"Now that you mention it, you were running late the very first day you're here."

She sluggishly nodded, not bothering to raise her head before doing so and caused a mini earthquake on the table. "The Chemistry teacher's the worst! Checking up on our homework during the very first class and detention for those who didn't finish it. If I were to be late, it'll be no difference from not finishing it. Man, she's too serious sometimes…"

"Yeah, she's pretty strict." I nodded as I flipped the page of the manga I was reading. "Wait." Realization hit me. "What homework?"

"The handout she gave us on the last day?"

"What handout?"

I have never thought that I would spend my last day of the summer holiday rushing a 3-months' worth of homework.

She snickered, "Looks like you don't have as many friends as you thought you have."

"You are supposed to be one of my friends!" I cried while also trying to answer the horrendous number of questions. "Also, you are the reason why this happened! If it wasn't for your superhuman punch, I wouldn't have ended up in the infirmary before her class."

"Hey, I was there with you too. But at least my friends noticed that I wasn't in the class." She didn't even tried to hold back her chuckling.

I felt like wiping off the smug look of her face with one of the papers but they were far more important. "Just leave me alone."

"But darling, we're supposed to be out on our date today." She put on a fake pout.

"You should've told me about this earlier then!"

"Okay, okay. Calm down. It's not that hard anyway. I'm sure you'll get it done in time." She fished out her cell with a pair of earpiece from her bag and started playing a new game she found recently. Some tapping the idols' faces beat game of some sort.

"Thank you!"

The room was then filled with only dull tapping sounds and the scratching of pen on paper.

'What in the world are these?' I scratched my head with my pen. 'Name the following hydrocarbons but what the heck are these ridiculously complicated-looking things?!'

I reached for the textbook from the shelf just beside her. She looked up and smirked, "Need some help?"

"Who needs your help?" I retorted.

"Suit yourself." She shrugged and resumed her game with the smirk still on her face.

I huffed in response.

I flipped through the textbook hoping to find some similar examples but they were none. 'Dammit! The teacher's sneaky!' I slammed the book on the table. 'And these IUPAC nonsense makes no sense at all!'

"Soo…" She had that smug look on her face again, "Do you have anything you'd like to ask me, darling?"

I hesitated. 'Argh… This is embarrassing. After what I said to her just now.'

"I'm waiting." She hummed cheerily.

"How do you do this part?" I pointed at that despicable question.

She squinted as she put her cell away, "I can't see it clearly. Come closer."

I slid the paper across the table as I slightly unwillingly shifted closer to her.

"Attaboy!"

I felt my dignity crumbling. 'She's totally making fun of me.'

She took the pen from my hands, "These are cyclic hydrocarbons but the nomenclature is still pretty similar to this." She circled the portion of text from the book with the back of the pen.

I read the text and looked back at her, still puzzled.

She sighed, "Can I draw here?"

I nodded.

She continued to explain as she illustrated some examples on the book.

"Oh, I get it now!"

"Good, or else I would've given up."

"You're pretty good at explaining things. It's so much easier to understand when you explain it."

She beamed, "My aid is not free of charge though."

"What? That's-"

In one swift motion, she put her hand on my shoulders as she leaned closer to me.

Breathe caught in my throat.

She brought her face closer to mine.

I felt my cheek tingling in anticipation for the now-frequent kiss on the cheek.

But, it never came.

Instead, I felt the soft air from her slightly ragged breathing across my cheek, further elevating the tingling sensation.

She paused just an inch away.

"Hey…"

She whispered softly into my ear.

Maybe it was because she started speaking so suddenly, it sent shivers down my spine as I felt warm puffs of air on my ear.

"This time…" she whispered again.

'This is a little too…' I closed my eyes, '… stimulating." I tried to regulate my breathing which had stopped when I began to notice.

"I want one from you…"

My eyes snapped open.

She pulled away almost immediately after saying that and laughed a little, "Just kidding."

I felt her hand leaving my shoulder, secretly wishing that it didn't.

I stared at her, heartbeat thundering in my ears.

'I want to do it…'

"I-"

With that, she stared back at me.

'Crap!' I almost voiced out my thoughts, but I wouldn't want her to think I'm a pervert or something, especially after pulling away like that.

I swallowed the lump in my throat.

'But I still want to do it…'

"I guess there's no helping it." I muttered.

I leaned in tentatively, nervous that she might push me away. I felt my cheeks flared, almost amazed by my boldness. I kept my gaze on her, almost seeking permission to do so.

She broke the eye contact and turned away, but just slightly.

I was taken aback a little but I saw a light tint of pink on her cheeks.

A lovely shade.

Feeling encouraged, I drew in a breath and raised my hand to brush her bangs away from her cheeks, knuckles grazing her soft skin in the process.

I noticed her blush grew a darker shade.

I closed the gap and pecked her on the cheek.

The contact was brief but I did not pull back immediately, "Was that OK?" I asked feeling anxious as I had zero experience.

"Again," she mumbled softly.

"Huh?"

She turned so that she was facing me directly, "Again."

My heartbeat at that point shot up to an alarming rate. 'Her face is so close!'

My eyes strayed from her pale blue eyes to her slightly parted lips.

'They are really close...'

Unconsciously, I dipped my head

Our lips met.

'They're soft…'

The contact surprised me and snapped me back to reality.

'We're kissing!'

I glanced up only to find that she had her eyes closed, looking almost serene.

'I'm kissing Chitoge!'

I felt her lips pursed and she angled her head to the side, increasing the pressure of the contact.

'Is she returning the kiss?'

She slowly opened her eyes and our eyes met.

Her eyes grew from half-lidded to the size of a saucer.

She broke the kiss and turned to stare at the table.

Her head hung low and her bangs covered her face but I could still see her hands fidgeting on her lap.

She remained unusually quiet.

Seeing her like that made me feel nervous all over again and I followed suit – picked up my pen and tried to finish up the homework.

Keyword: tried to.

The only thing that I could focus on was the young girl sitting not too far to my right.

The only thing that I could think of was what had happened just moments ago.

'Kisses on the lips feel totally different from kisses on the cheeks.'

Author's note: I hope Yui was not the Chemistry teacher…? I actually don't quite remember which subjects she teaches…

I tried to bring out the feeling I got from this scene of the doujin but I'm not sure I did it justice with my limited vocabulary… *cries*

Thank you so much for the reviews! They always make my day!

A reply to ChaosOmega8, I think imma try to stay with 7 chapters to match the title~

Ramblings: I'm a total sucker for kisses! Though I've never experienced it irl… I'm the self-proclaimed president of the forever alone club, kay! But I totally love reading/watching these scenes! They just make me go "AHHH!" –insert lots of heart signs-

Also, I truly dislike Chemistry. I never once get it...

Uni just started! Since it's only first week, I still have some spare time. But soon-ish, I probably won't be able to whip up anything… I apologise in advance…

Last but not least, comments and criticisms are appreciated!
