The school bell rang once again, clanging away noisily.

Kimiko cleared her things and swung her bag over her shoulder as she walked out of the classroom. Kimiko felt a hand on arm as she spun around.

"Oh hey Kimiko about our project…I was thinking maybe we could start today, if that's ok with you?" hesitated Raimundo.

"Yeah sure, why don't we meet up at the library at 12: 50 at lunch and start researching?" suggested Kimiko eagerly, beaming.

"Ok, cool. So I'll see you there!" answered Raimundo as he waved to her and stepped out of the classroom.

Kimiko smiled dreamily as she happily skipped out of the classroom and was stopped by a confused best friend.

"Why are you so happy all of a sudden??" Keiko asked frowning. Then she gave an excited gasp of realization.

"It's got something to do with Raimundo doesn't it?" Keiko asked, thrilled.

Kimiko just sighed as she floated towards her locker.

"Tell me what happened!" screeched Keiko as she grabbed Kimiko and shook her like crazy.

"He asked me to be his study partner!" Kimiko cried as she grinned from ear to ear.

"Oh my gosh! He didn't!" Keiko exclaimed, her hand covering her mouth.

"He did!" Kimiko squealed back and then added, "And we're going to the library to do some research together at lunch. So I'll be busy."

Kimiko closed her locker and walked towards the cafeteria with Keiko to grab some lunch.

"You are so lucky!" gushed Keiko as she grabbed a plate of salad and placed it on her tray.

Kimiko just gave a knowing smile as she got a bottle of juice and a plate of pasta.

She was really looking forward to her library session with Raimundo.

Kimiko rushed over to the library almost immediately and looked around for Raimundo.

Seeing as he wasn't here yet she glanced at her watch. 12:50 It read.

Oh well...might as well start researching while waiting for him to get here! thought Kimiko as she got a few books on the year of the pig and started reading.

Rai's POV

I quickly grabbed lunch with my friends Ian and max and settled down in a nearby table.

I glanced at my watch. 12:30 It read.

Oh phew. I still have time before going to start on the project with Kimiko I thought as I smiled at the thought of her beautiful sapphire eyes and her silky mane of raven black hair.

I immediately got snapped out of my thoughts as I heard some girls giggling as they sat down with us. I looked up and I saw Denise and her friends. We started talking and joking around and it was pretty fun so I decided to stay for a while longer.

I suppose staying for few more minutes wouldn't hurt….I thought

Kim's POV

I waited and waited as I kept looked at my watch wondering where Raimundo was.

"Why is he taking such a long time??" I wondered out loud as I drummed my fingers impatiently on the table. I gazed at my watch once more. 1:10 It read. I blew a strand of hair from my eyes as I slammed the book down onto the table. The librarian glared at me under her purple framed glasses but I couldn't care less. Where is he? I thought once again as I waited some more.

Kim's POV

I stepped out of the library at 1:20. I was pretty mad at him, mostly because he never showed up. I walked towards my locker and flung it open, grabbing furiously for my stuff for next class. I heard a familiar laugh as I turned around and to my shock, I saw Denise approaching with Raimundo, her arm linked around his as they walked together down the hallway along with their friends. I narrowed my eyes.

So THAT'S why he never showed up! Too busy with Denise UGH that…conceited little JERK! I thought. I wasn't only pretty mad at him right now. I was fuming mad! I saw him look away from Denise and averted his gaze to me.

I stared at him with stone cold eyes as I slammed my locker and stormed away to my next class with tears slowly welling up in my eyes.

Rai's POV

I spent the entire lunch time having a lot of fun with my friends, Denise and her friends. We were laughing about something really funny that Denise just said when I looked away from her and nearly froze when I saw Kimiko at her locker.

She stared at me coldly and then slammed her locker and walked away fuming mad.

OH NO! I forgot about our library session! I thought as I smacked my forehead and groaned. I had never felt so horrible in my entire life. I wanted to run after her but she walked away so quickly I had no idea where she went.

She probably hates me right now…I thought sadly. I really hope she would forgive me.
