"Ok. Now all you guys have to do is this worksheet. Then you can do whatever." Sensei announced, handing out the assignment.

Tohru looked down at it. Math. 10 question with Math.

'Great. Why does it always have to be math?' Tohru thought, feeling down immediately.

She read the first question and sunk in her desk. Unwillingly, she did the worksheet and finished it. Sure she could do math quickly but that didn't mean she didn't hate it. She layed her head down, hiding her face. Uo poked her in the back. Tohru turned around.

"Did you understand that?" Uo asked.

Tohru shrugged. "I guess. You?"

Uo smiled. "You expect me to get it?"

Tohru laughed. "How about you Hana?"

"I feel I did alright."

Hana was eating as always. She had snatched some extra food from lunch today. Nobody even said anything anymore because they were so used to her eating habits. Tohru laughed and turned to Kyo, who was staring out the window. She smiled and decided to not bother him. She turned back to her best friends and talked for awhile.

"Let me braid your hair?" Hana asked.

Tohru nodded. Hana made Tohru face Kyo in order to have the back of Tohru's head facing her. Kyo had turned to look at her and she smiled. As the girls had suspected Tohru reached up and grabbed a bunch of her hair and started twirling it as she talked to Kyo. Hana winked at Uo.

"Tohru...stop flirting and keep your head straight. Oh... and I need those hairs you're twirling." Hana said in monotone.

Tohru instantly turned red and let go of her hair and straightened her head. "Right. Sorry."

Kyo was chuckling, which made Tohru even more red. Uo and Hana laughed too. Tohru hid her face behind her hands now.

'They did that on purpose. Embarrassing me like that. Uo. Hana. They never change. Even Kyo's laughing at me...'

Kyo took her hands off her face and smiled at her. He held her hands.

"That wasn't fair of them. They embarrassed you on purpose." Kyo looked at the snickering Uo and Hana.

Hana was on the second braid in Tohru's hair.

"We're sorry Tohru. We just couldn't help it." Uo said.

"I know, I know. I'm just so predictable huh?" Tohru laughed a little.

"Yup." Hana agreed.

Kyo was still holding her hands. He smiled as did she. Hana finished Tohru's braids and gave her a mirror so she could see them. She took the mirror with one hand.

"I love them." Tohru said as she smiled at Hana.

"Good I'm glad." Hana said.

Tohru fixed the braids so they were not behind her back, but resting over her shoulders.

"What do you think?" Tohru asked Kyo.

He looked at her. "Beautiful."

She blushed a little.

"Th-thank you."

She played with the end of one braid.

"Then again, I don't think it matters." Kyo said.

Tohru looked at him, questioningly. He looked in her eyes.

"To me, you always look beautiful."

She smiled at him and he smiled back as he played with her braids. She laughed and whacked him in the face with the other one. He hit her back with the one he had been playing with. So there they were, laughing in the first ever "Braid Fight". They were oblivious to the fact that Uo, Hana, and their Sensei were watching them. The teacher smiled.

"Young love..." She whispered as she went back to grading papers.

Uo and Hana laughed at them. The bell rung and everyone left.
