"I can show you,"

The exhausted boy froze, "How?"

Chapter Four: Advice

Part I- "Masochistic Freak"

"Simple. Take all your annoyance and irritation and turn it into resistance." Samantha took another bite out of her sandwich again while Ryoma's eyes were fixed on her. She immediately felt his glare and, perplexed, looked up.

"What?"

"Continue, if I brought a notebook I'd be taking notes right now."

Samantha sighed and gave him her do-I-have-to-tell-you-everything look. "What I mean is, think about how happier you'd be if you weren't stuck doing tennis boy's dirty laundry on your spare time and how happier you'd be if, for once, you didn't do whatever everyone told you. That is, if you would be happier—face it, half the school has doubts about your sanity."

"Ha ha. Say I am a masochistic freak. What should I do then?"

"See a shrink," Samantha giggled, "I'll get my parents to pay for it."

Again with the insanity pleas. Why did every conversation about him always go back to psychological problems? He'll admit that maybe he was a little too reckless, but not that much.

"Let me rephrase that," Ryoma asked trying to keep his face straight and the volume of his voice down. "What if thinking about being happier doesn't work?"

"Then think about being a servant to everyone else your whole life or you are a – how did you put it?—'masochistic freak'" the girl smirked and remained silent for the entire lunch break.

Flashback- Last year summer break

Ryoma and Rizaya were lying on Rizaya's bed side by side doing homework.

"Nii-san?" Ryoma asked, "Do you think I'm to submissive?"

Rizaya looked up and thought for a moment, "Yeah, but I like you that way."

Part II- Non-existent Results

RING!! RING!!

What now? Ryoma thought in bed as he looked at the caller ID on his cell phone, at 1:00 in the morning. Kevin again. Big surprise. Ryoma their standard cell-phone conversations they had every night in his head:

Kevin: laughs and makes up an excuse for not doing his homework. Tennis/ video games. Since it was this late, it would be video games.

Ryoma: Lectures him on/ shouts at him for not paying attention on his school work and paying to much attention on sports, and on how this is the reason their school had a tennis team and video game club.

Kevin- coaxes him into giving in by annoying him or tiring him out.

Ryoma- gives in.

Kevin- Laughs his regular don't- you-dare-try-to-refuse laugh and reminds Ryoma about the next test he'll be cheating on off of him.

Ryoma- denies it.

Kevin- laughs again and hangs up.

But maybe it didn't have to go that way. Ryoma remembered Samantha's advice and instead of answering the phone, pressed the 'ignore' key. Wow, he must be giving Kevin cardiac arrest.

Three minutes later the phone rang again. Che, I really am a masochist. Who'd of thought? Ryoma picked it up.

"Ryoma? Are you there? You okay?" Kevin's voice sounded more anxious and urgent than usual. He wasn't laughing.

"Yea, I'm just sleepier than usual." Ryoma answered groggily.

"Sure? I was just asking—

"I know, I know, Reading, right? Jane Eyre? I'll look for the answers and call back."

"…"

"Okay…I guess. Really, are you okay? You sound weird."

"It's nothing! I'm just tired. Incase you forgot how to tell time, it's 1:00 in the morning. And, let me guess, cheating off me in Algebra, right?"

"I'm calling Elise to check up on you. Do you have a fever?"

He hung up and ten minutes later a blond-haired girl his age, who had access to the keys to his dorm came in along with another red-haired girl.

"Damn it, idiot! You're temperature's 101 degrees! Give yourself a break for once!" Elise shouted so loud he thought that the police on the other side of town would come with guns ready.

In a much calmer, more serene, tone, Samantha whispered, "What happened?"

"You and the rest of the school win. I have… issues." Ryoma replied reluctantly. Her voice was starting to piss him off more than Elise's.

"Should I call a shrink in the morning?"

"No."

This one's a bit late, but I couldn't update because all the floods messed with the internet connection and because some family things came up. Sorry!

THIS IS THE END!!! Thank you to all my reviewers who stuck through and everybody else. There is a possibility that there will be romance and twincest in the next one and thank you to every one that stuck through when this was originally supposed to be one whole story and not two. Thank you!
