Kano rolled over, twitching at the annoying beep of his alarm clock. He reached over and slammed it off, breaking it. He stumbled out of bed and began his normal morning routine of a shower and breakfast before heading out to school.

Kano sauntered through the doors of the 200 building as he approached his first period class. The date had settled in his mind as a simple birthday present, not a date or an actual relationship or anything of that sort. Just a gift for his friend. He plopped down into his chair, sighing.
Just another boring week...
-+-
Kano's mood didn't change as he went about his day. His evil chemistry teacher changed the seating chart, and Kaoru now sat next to Korematsu Kaiba. He frowned. Korematsu was basically the biggest womanizer in the school.
He was forced to endure and entire period of Korematsu's constant hitting on his best friend. Luckily for him, Kaoru was not at all interested by the blonde boy's advances.
Wait... Why do I care so much? She's only my friend! He sighed, glancing over to the pair again. Kaoru was now blushing furiously. Korematsu was whispering into her ear, grinning impishy.
Kano became even more irritated. Yeah, but she's my BEST friend. Who happens to look adorable when she blushes!
He rubbed his temples, sliding down into his seat. He would be amazed if it could possibly get any worse.
-+- Mid-October -+-
School had been progressing decently for Kano. He had mostly A's, a few B's. He and Kaoru continued to hang out after school, but more often than not she left him to go be with Korematsu.
How I hate that BASTARD. Kano's teeth clenched as he watched his 'best friend' play around with a senior.
He's such a slacker. Failed chemistry twice, and she's in love with him? Psh, whatever.
He frowned, walking past the gleeful pair playing soccer.
"Kano! Come join us!" Kano's eye twitched as he heard Kaoru's voice call out to him.
"Yeah, Dogu! It'll be fun!" Kano also saw straight through Korematsu's little act. Going along with whatever the girl says to win her over, what a pathetic loser.
Kano ignored them both and proceeded home.
-+-
Every day he watched them like a hawk. Whenever she would come out of a class, Korematsu was there to walk her to the next. She even called him by his first name!
"Kaiba!" He glared as he watched Korematsu and Kaoru. Normally she would have killed the boy that dared to touch her, but she was blushing, giggling!
Kano crushed his soda can.

Halloween... what a great time of year... Kano frowned at his classmates, some who were fully decked out in costumes. The big news was about the old asylum-turned-haunted house. Everyone was planning to go.
Kano smirked. He might have to go check it out with Kaoru, to make fun of the scaredy-cats who went to their school.
-+-
"You're WHAT?!"
"I'm going with Kaiba! He asked me out! I can't go with you, no matter how much fun it would be!"
"Korematsu?! He's such a creep, you know that! Why him?"
"He's not a creep, you jerk! You should be happy for me!"
Kano became even more enraged.
"Happy?! HAPPY?! Not an ice cube's chance in hell I'm happy! He's going to try something funny! And you're going to let him!"
Kaoru gaped at him. "He will not! And I wouldn't let him!"
Kano growled. "Yeah, because you totally stopped him from feeling you up at the last soccer game..."
Kaoru's jaw slammed shut. "I can't believe you, you... you... BASTARD! HE DIDN'T TOUCH ME AT ALL!! I bet you can't even find more friends and that's why you're jealous and..."
Kano cut her off with a ferocious "I AM NOT JEALOUS!" He scoffed at her and pushed her into a wall. "Who would be jealous over you? You're not even that pretty! Your hair is disgusting. No, scratch that, you're digusting!"
Kaoru shoved him in the chest, but he didn't budge. "Why are you being so mean?! Just... just leave me alone! I don't even know you anymore!" She tore away from his arms, wiping a few tears and running towards the girls' bathroom.
Kano stared after her, running his hand through his hair.
What have I done...?

Yeah. Another short one. And OOC. (heh. my bad...?) I'll update again when this story hits, let's say... 43 reviews.
Thanks for putting up with my teeny tiny chapters. The next ones are longer, this one's only like 700 words, i know. Feel free to yell and scream at me all you want.
And Happy Summer, everyone!
Thank you all so much for reviewing!
