There had been an odd look on his face for a long time now, and I was finding it extremely difficult to ignore no matter how much I wanted to just turn around and attend to the strangely hyperactive brunette on the left of me, seriously he was nearly jumping up and down in his seat. The silver haired boy had been AWOL all morning, when I had uttered a polite yet somehow disgusted "good morning" through his crowd of fan girls he had hardly responded. A limp wave was all I had received, I'm guessing his man-eating fans had noticed it as well; they were at their desks contacting other menders of the fan clubs. Probably planning to escape at lunch to buy him baskets of sweets or invade the Home EC class and bake their own. I hated these types of expressions, those that I couldn't distinguish even if I was actually not that bad in that 'subject'. Talking about class, the teacher already looked frustrated, I didn't blame her; our class was composed ninety five percent of those that were all goo-goo over Riku. Really I don't really see what they see in him.. I mean other than his soft and humor filled turquoise eyes… firm chest, strong arms, and his silver silky locks. My head shook profusely as if to rid my head of such silly thoughts. I tried to keep my eyes away, but the continually wandered back to the silver haired boy, wondering what was going on in that mind of his. He must have noticed that there were two holes beginning to bore into the side of his head since he suddenly turned and met my stare, his eyes were away, they were looking at me, yet not. His head tilted oh so slightly in curiosity while his eyes held a dim shine of confusion. His lips opened as if he were to say something, but at that time I was so embarrassed that he had caught me gazing in such a way that could be misinterpreted as adoration. I attended my attention to the seizure-inducing boy on my right, who looked overly pleased now that he had finally caught my attention. It showed when he began to talk a mile a minute.

"MiYoung! Did you hear?! There's a new student coming in today, I heard he's a foreign exchange student! Another guy for me to hang out, isn't that cool? I'm going to be the first one to ask him to hang out." I was shocked. Not at the new student… no not that at all. It was the way he had spoken, so rapidly that I could only distinguish out the words I needed to hear to know what in the world he was talking about. What surprised me even more was that he hadn't needed to take a single breath in that whole statement, let alone let out one at the end. My mouth hung open rudely, just the way someone else's had before. Sora's gaze turned concerned.

"MiYoung.. It… It's not really that bad is it?" He rested one of his hands on my arm, that woke me up. Instead of overreacting and making a fool of myself I slowly pulled my hand out from under his light touch and closed my mouth. Placing a quick clumsy smile on my lips, I fanned my hand at him nervously.

"Haha, sorry about that, I just never heard about him." I lied gingerly, his expressions remained unconvinced but he shrugged and let it go, no real choice. Since the teacher called out angrily telling everyone to be quiet threatening us with an extra day's worth of homework, everyone was suddenly quiet. There was a girl standing beside her, no one had noticed due to all the noise, she looked unfazed in front of the crowd, there was a pleasant smile on her face, mixed with a measured amount of amusement.

"Everyone! This is the new student! Her name is Alycea, everyone be nice to her and show her around…" The class groaned, this was the time where the teacher chose someone to drag around the new student, mixed with a few surprised gasps. Everyone had heard that it was a boy. Strange.

"Sora! You'll show her around won't you? You seemed so enthusiastic to be the first one to hang out with the new student anyways right?" The teacher looked irritated yet pleased with himself as the class buzzed with laughter, I side glanced at my friend, the brunette's face was flushed a deep scarlet. His eyes were dreamy filled with admiration as he stared out from under his eyelashes at the girl standing at the front of the classroom looking off into the distance. How interesting. It looks like Sora was now taken with this Alycea. I suppose she was pretty, I didn't really know how to determine the beauty of girls. What of Riku's response you ask? It disgusted me entirely. He looked almost as taken as Sora, thought his face was the same pale color it always was, he was probably wondering how easy it would be to recruit her into his fan club. I was suddenly extremely irritated; I bit down on my lip to refrain from saying any rude remarks, my fingers held onto my mechanical pencil. Waiting until the girl sat down, I turned my attention back to Sora; he still seemed to be in a trance staring at the space that she had been before

"Haha, that's a pretty feminine boy don't you think?" I laughed, leaning just a bit towards the still blushing boy giving him an encouraging pat on the back. He didn't even turn in my direction. I muttered an annoyed curse under my breath and retreated back to my seat and leaned bored on my hand. My eyes drifted past the silver haired boy to the clock looking expectantly at it; there was still a load of time left before the period ended. I had finished my class work as usual, and homework hadn't been assigned just yet. I pulled out a sketchbook placing it lightly on my table, pressing out the lead just a bit on my pencil and began drawing random doodles. There was a horned Riku on the corner of my page with a mischievous smirk. In the other was a dog-eared Sora staring out into space a small tail wagging playfully. I gave my drawings a satisfied look and placed my pencil back down into my case and stared back up at the clock. Letting out a long irritated groan I noted the fact that only ten minutes had passed. The teacher suddenly stood up and glared at the entire classroom with a suspicious edge to her voice.

"I'm going to watch Mrs. Kurisagi's class for her for a little bit so please behave yourselves.." With that she headed out the door, the moment it shut everyone was out of their seats talking in hushed voices and seating themselves on top of the desks clacking away on their cell phones. As expected. I leaned my head to the left expecting Riku to start talking to me while I would be annoyed, but he had disappeared. I stood up and looked around the classroom, spotting him standing by Alycea's seat, his charm fully turned on. His voice was low and attractive, sending pheromones by the drove, I couldn't hear exactly what he was saying but there was a sort of inquisitive dosage to his voice as if he were asking her a question. What I saw next surprised me. She held her hands up and waved them as if refusing whatever he was asking her. He looked just as shocked as I felt. An offended Riku gave a polite wave and headed back to his desk indignantly, or at least that's what I thought. Instead he approached my desk and leaned a strong hand on it the face of a boy with hurt pride. I wanted to snort, so bad.

"What? She reject you?" My voice had a sort of malice added to it, a careful amount of teasing, I sort of straightened my posture only to lean my feet on the leg of the desk. My chair was pulled back just a bit. I was still looking at the side of Riku's face, suddenly I was looking into his eyes they weren't weak anymore as they were before. They were as penetrating as the ocean they shone as the usually did his eyelashes just made them all the more marvelous. I almost fell out of my chair, catching myself at last minute. To my delight, he didn't take notice of it. Instead he just started to talk, his voice sounded like a bratty child complaining that he had only gotten three private jets instead of the five he was promised.

"Yes! Is there something wrong with me? Am I losing my charm? Becoming duller? I've been thinking this ever since you rejected me. This has never happened…" He actually seemed seriously depressed on this, I wanted to roll my eyes at him, but I refrained from it. I waited for him to continue his complaining. There was only silence, I turned to look back at him, he looked expectant. He had been waiting for an answer.

"Oh my…Riku, just because some girl's aren't interested in you, doesn't mean that you're dull or whatever you think you are. Your fan girls still stay loyally by your side don't they?" My tone sounded as if it were desperately trying to hide the exasperation I felt, strained as much as they could get. Trying to adjust to his eyes boring down at me, I shifted uncomfortably avoiding his stare. His voice droned on.

"Well I guess… I'm not really interested in them though…. There's one girl in mind that I actually want…" This caught me off guard, I immediately leaned off the wooden legs that supported the table and stayed firmly on the ground in anticipation that I might fall. I gulped.

"O-oh yah? Who would that be?" I didn't dare look at his face, there was something in my mind that told me that he probably he still had the same smoldering gaze that he had held the last time I had looked. I tried to look occupied with the cover of my sketchbook reading the company name and when it had been distributed. It took a long moment for him to answer, instead of giving me a name, he leaned over carefully his lips at my ear not touching them but I could still feel his breath against them.

"Meet me after school under the big oak tree behind the playground at the new park." He whispered lightly his voice had a new edge to it. Thought I couldn't identify that either. I now dared to look up so I could send him an incredulous look, though he was already down at his desk, his face twisted into one as if he were trying to solve a difficult math problem in his head. He hadn't even given me a chance to answer, that ass. Well I suppose I had to go. It couldn't be all that bad, he probably just wanted to complain more in private so not everyone would hear his whiny voice poison their ears. It was at that moment that the door opened to reveal the teacher, and as always everyone was in his or her seat hearing her footsteps down the hall. They were all bent over at their desks pretending as if a moment ago they weren't chatting vividly and texting furiously. The teacher held a stack of papers between her hands, a delighted look on her face thought there were faint traces of stress. It was pop quiz. Most definitely.

The day had been slow; I had aced the quiz, had absently forgotten about my lunch and didn't want to shell out a hundred dollar bill at the lunch line knowing that it would probably stir trouble again. School had finished without a single change to the day other than the fact that Sora was now walking Alycea home, not that I knew much about it. I just saw them leaving school together, both laughing at something, faces red with blush. I had lost the person I usually walked with, but I guess the new girl needed him. Not having a chance to introduce myself properly to her, I just decided to do it the next day. I was now heading towards the tree, it stood forlorn on the edge of the park without any of its partners excluded by its enormous height. I saw him there, with the wind slightly nudging at his clothes and his silky locks; his eyes were focused out into the distance. If he stayed still, some famous artist would probably paint him. He looked almost perfect. Shaking off the thoughts letting them fly off my shoulders I was soon standing behind him, my foot had stepped onto a dead leaf, which immediately caught his attention. Riku turned around, his eyes were even more entrancing then they had been before. He looked worried, his clear eyes sparkled with something I hadn't seen before…it seemed like admiration mixed with agony. It caught me off surprise, I was suddenly self-conscious, wrapping my scarf around my neck tighter, subtly fixing my hair letting my layered locks fall over my shoulder.

"R-Riku a-are you okay?" To my totally horror, I was stuttering, what in the world was that for?! It wasn't as if there was any reason. In the silence, I couldn't help admiring him again, feeling my eyes scan his perfect face, his hair framed his face perfectly his firm chest showing well in the outfit he had chosen this day. I tried to talk again to break the awkward quiet. In a sort of teasing tone I continued.

"H-Ha well, y-you going to tell me more about this special girl?" He didn't answer again, this was worrying, he just continued to stare at me with those eyes of his, my voice was quiet but it still remained as I tried again.

"W-well are you going t---?" My words were cut off as his hand was suddenly on my arm his fingers wrapped around it as he pulled me to his chest, his other hand holding onto my head tucking it under his chin. I opened my mouth to protest, my cheeks suddenly on fire, but his voice cut into my surprise as he spoke into my hair.

"It's you, you idiot."

I hope you enjoyed that. W
