"Did I do something wrong?" I asked the two boys behind me.
"No." They said simultaneously.
"That Brad bastered tried to take Tohru yesterday, it wasn't good." Kyo pounded on the desktop. "Ah, if I could just get my hands around that boy's neck, he wouldn't be a problem anymore!"
"Doing that would make Honda-san upset, you should know that." Yuki stated calmly. I stared at them and thought to myself for a moment. I knew them for only thirty minutes and I noticed their personalities were completely different. Like water and fire.
"So what did happen to Tohru?" I asked quietly, then quickly adding. "If you don't mind me asking." Yuki glanced up at me with sad eyes.
"It isn't our story to tell, but I wouldn't ask Honda-san about it for a while. I'm afraid she hasn't gotten over it yet." Yuki moved his eyes to the floor. "I wouldn't either."
Tohru came back with Arisa and Hana not to long after our awkward conversation. Yuki immediately jumped from his seat and half jogged toward Tohru. He whispered softly in her ear. I glanced around at the other curious faces, and then stopped at the three girls from earlier. I could see in their eyes a hint of jealousy. I made eye contact but quickly looked away as I could feel their hate covered eyes glaring at me. Tohru glanced at me.
"Oh Rose-chan I am so sorry! I probably worried you. I am so sorry." Tohru said without taking a breath while bowing. I was speechless at first but then shook my head and smiled.
"You don't have to apologize. I'm just glad that you are feeling better." I paused. "You are feeling better, right?"
"Oh Yes! Thank you for being concerned." She said slower this time. I glanced at the clock. 11:34. Today is going a lot slower then I hoped.
"Rose-chan, are you okay?" Tohru asked.
"Yeah, I just thought that it was later, that's all." I answered. I sat back in my seat behind Kyo. He didn't move and inch since I have been here. His hair was still covering his eyes and his shoulders were still tense. I gently tapped his shoulder and he jumped.
"Kyo," I said in a small voice. "Kyo, are you all right?" He avoided my eyes and shook his head. I was startled when Miss Mayuko burst though the door again.
"Okay class back into your seats." She shouted over the laughter of the kids. Long sighs filled the room. "Yes I know I'm back early. Now take out your Romeo and Juliet books." Walking to my desk she handed me an extra copy. I opened it and sigh in relief that it was in English. She quickly glanced at a piece of paper that was on top of her copy of the play. She groaned and apologized to the class once again. "I'm sorry class but it looks like I have a parent conference with, well, a parent. I will be back shortly and then we will start on the play." An hour had passed and Miss Mayuko wasn't back yet. When the door opened a student walked through. I recognized his brown hair and dark eyes.
"So this is the class I'm being transferred too." He said loud enough for everyone to hear. I heard a small gasp from the isle next to me. Tohru, who sat a few seats in front of me, was slightly shaking. I could see the tears that threatened to leak over the bottom of her eyelids. He smiled when he saw her.
"Damn it." Kyo growled. He was tightly gripping the sides of his desk.
I looked back at Brad. He looked shocked but happy to see me. I regretted the fact that there was an empty seat next to me. I looked down at the Romeo and Juliet book, pretending to read it. Out of the corner of my eye I saw him take the empty seat next to me. I felt uneasy and I guess it showed on my face because he laughed. I stared at the back of Kyo's head. After each passing second he didn't seem to get any calmer.
"I'm surprised to see you in this class." He said seductively. I sighed and shut the book.
"I'm surprised that you speak English." I said with no interest. He turned his entire body toward me and placed his hand on my desk. My eyes were caught in his.
"I always thought I sounded sexy in Japanese." He reached under my chin and brought his face close to mine. He hesitated to see what my reaction would be. Then he slowly leaned in closing his eyes. I, on the other hand, kept mine wide open. I brought my hand up and swung hard in front of me. A loud smack echoed through the room.
Everyone turned their attention to me. Brad's head was turned and a red hand print was forming on his face. I tired to look innocent and went back to looking through the book in front of me. Brad reached up and rubbed his cheek. He frowned. I looked up at Kyo. His eyes were wide as he stared at me. "You bitch." Brad murmured. I continued to ignore him. "You bitch!" He yelled and pulled on my hair. I shrieked and threw my book at him. It harmlessly bounced off of his chest. He still had a chunk of my hair as he pulled me out of my seat, curled his hand into a fist, and pulled his arm back. Kyo jumped up and caught Brad's hand. He launched his shoulder into Brad's stomach sending him into the row of desks.
"Rose, are you all right?" Kyo asked softly kneeling next to me as he moved my dark brown hair from my face.
"The right side of my head hurts, but other than that, I'm okay." I murmured rubbing my head.
A group of girls helped Brad to his feet. He stared down at me with lust and hate. "I will have you." He said almost inaudible.
