Chapter 9: Faint
Kurai was thrilled, she'd finally walk back in a normal classroom and throw erasers again. She smiled, amused.
Mello stared. "You seem happy." He muttered.
Kurai's eyes widened as he grabbed her hand.
"Listen, I'm sorry for the way I've been treating you lately…" He whispered in what seemed to be a single breath. Mello dropped her hand and left. She stayed glued to the spot, eyes nearly popping out of shock.
Oh my god… She thought, distracted.
And with that, she walked into the door.

It was early, so they had to go to class that very same day. First was math, then history, and now she was in language arts.
Kurai sighed as some kids started arguing over the teacher about the spelling of "technology". Her stomach growled. Oh no… She hadn't had breakfast and now was feeling dizzy. Oh well, I'll live…
Just then a note was thrown at her.
Hey, let's do something crazy so they can shut up!!
Kurai looked around and got a wink from Matt. She grinned back.
Yeah, scare the mFckers by standing up and singing "Jingle Bells" at the same time!!
She hurled it back at him. He gave a thumbs up.
Suddenly, she stood up abruptly, and everything started to fade. The classroom became blurry, and the last thing she saw was a pair of turquoise eyes.

"Ngh….. Ahh….. "
"Oh good, you're awake." Declared a familiar voice.
Kurai looked up to find herself in the arms of none other than Blondie.
He looked at her, actually more like stared, and asked "You okay?"
She nodded, then blushed when she noticed he had been carrying her.
"Um, y-you know, eh, youcanputmedown n-now!" She stammered.
"No freaking chance, I was just about to take you to the nurse, but first, what happened?" His melodious tone caught her attention.
"… Forgot about breakfast. I'll be fine as soon as I eat something." She said, relieved when he set her down against the wall, and then sat next to her.
"In that case, here. We don't have to go to the nurse," he said, breaking off a piece of chocolate and handing it to her.
She smiled warmly and he stopped breathing, gazing at her silver eyes. "Thank you, Mello…" She said sweetly. Both were gazing fervently at each other, everything else forgotten.
He slowly leaned in closer, she closed her eyes, and then-
"Hey, you guys! What took you so long? I've been looking everywhere for you. Teacher wants you back, you know!" Matt's voice rang out cheerfully.
Mello and Kurai both jerked away, she was blushing, shocked, and he stood up, glaring, as usual.
She bit the chocolate before attempting to stand up. What was that about? Kurai wondered.
He avoided eye contact with her for the rest of the day, the same moment replaying in his head when he saw her. And the same thought, Am I actually disappointed? What's happening to me? I wonder what she felt… haunting him every time he heard her voice.
He tossed in his bed, still awake. Thinking of Kurai.
What the hell's going on?...
