To All: I'm really sorry about this, please tell me how you think

Also, Riza doesn't own digimon or anything except for the chara's

CHAPTER III:

Two face of a little girl and her Hyacinth

Riza strode inside their classroom. When she entered, she had this evil aura that made her classmates scared. She sat at her desk and put her bag down. She turned to Shinji's seat. It was still empty. And then to Miki's, it was also empty.

She grinned evilly. Those two aren't here yet, avoiding me, huh? She thought.

Their teacher, Ms. Asako, arrived and yet those two still weren't there yet. She bit her finger as she waited for them. It was after a few minutes they arrived.

"What time do you think it is?" Miss Asako scolded them. "Ugh! Just go back to your seats."

"Yes, Ma'am" They both answered and hurried to their desks.

Shinji sat at his, which is in front, while Miki passed Riza's desk and drop a note before sitting at he desk.

"This better be good." She muttered under her breath as she unfolds the note and used her book as a camouflage to read it.

It says:

'Dear Riza, sorry we didn't come and pick you up today. We'll explain everything at lunch. Really sorry! Love, Miki 3'

"Damn them." She mumbled and hid the note inside her pocket before Ms. Asako sees it.

She was leaning in her hand and sighed inside her head. 'Damn those two. I can't kill them now that their drowning me with their apology and all.' She thought.

She groaned out loud that Miss Asako heard her and glared at her. "My, my, Ms. Akamiya," she said hands crossed on her chest. "Is something wrong?" she asked.

Riza looked away and answered her teacher. "None of your business"

Everyone from their class looked at the two. Most of them were snickering at Riza's comment. They all knew Ms. Asako is one of the scariest teachers in their grade. Especially after her break-ups, and this happens almost every week.

"What did you say, Miss Akamiya?" she asked, eyes twitching.

"'None of your business'" she repeated, glaring at her teacher.

"W-what!" Ms. Asako said, her voice had this scary tone. "How dare you?"

"Shut up! I'm in a bad mood" she said, yawning. "If you want to complain, do it with my guardian. And he happens to be Chairman of this school."

They could see how she was trembling and glaring at Riza.

"I give up!" she said. "If you want to fail my subject by not even listening or showing respect to me, then do so." She walked away, returning to her lesson.

Bring! Rang the bell, Riza waited outside their classroom's door, being congratulated and patted on the back by her classmates who obviously hate how Ms. Asako treats them.

"Nice move, earlier, Riza." She heard Shinji's voice say.

She turned to see Riza and Miki walking towards her. Shinji was holding a plastic bag and, much to her surprise, Miki was carrying two lunchbox.

She glared at them. Before she could say another word, Miki said. "Before you say anything, come with us upstairs."

"What? Why?" her voice filled with fury that it caught most of the students' attention.

"Please," Shinji begged.

She tried to look away, but with Shinji's puppy eyed face, she just couldn't. "Fine," she gave in and allowed Miki to push her upstairs. "Damn you Miki!" she whispered. "I know that-" talking about Shinji's begging. "-was your idea."

"Hoho," she laughed. "Nice, huh?"

"Baka!" she exclaimed.

Shinji opened the door and Miki pushed Riza to the single wooden chair. She sat, wondering what was happening. There were Hyacinth petals around the chair.

"Hey, Rizz?" Shinji said, turning towards her.

She flinched and felt her heart throb. "Y-yes?"

He gulped and faced her, blushing. "Um, here," he gave her a violet Hyacinth. "You know what it means, right?"

"N-no."

"It means, 'I am sorry' and 'Please forgive me'." He said.

"So?" It was Miki. She turned to look at her. "As corny as it is, Will you forgive us?"

She frowned and said. "Tch!" she crossed her arms. "Since you both were corny enough to do these, I guess I will."

"yes!" they both cheered, triumphantly.

"But…." Miki's voice sang. "All this was Shin's idea, I'm not this corny."

"Figures~" she said. "Anyway, why didn't you both picked me up, you know I hate being alone. Besides, my bad self surfaced during class, how can you say sorry for that?"

"First question," Miki said. "Shin went to my house to pick up all this flowers." She said, motioning to the Hyacinth around on the ground.

"He suggested we do this, since my family runs a flower shop and he knows a lot about this things." She added.

"We asked your uncle to allow us to do this." Shinji said. "And he helped us a bit."

"He was worried, y'now," she teased. "Saying you might kill someone inside the school grounds."

"Shut up." she murmured, blushing.

"Also," Miki added. "The business with Ms. Asako, it was your fault, anyways." She said. "Shinji told me you were really happy Last night."

She looked at Shinji. "Hey, you were shouting while smiling last night, saying 'My Digi-Egg broke."

"Y-you heard?" she couldn't believe it.

"You practically woke up the whole apartment, but, I was only sitting inside the living room, I couldn't sleep."

She blushed at the thought.

Miki grinned. "Hey, Riza," she said. "Maybe you should apologize to Ms. Asako."

"You are crazy, insane girl?" she answered, glaring at Miki. "That woman hates me now. And I'm pretty sure she already told Uncle about earlier."

Miki and Shinji just laughed. "And chairman would only laugh at that." Shinji said.

"And he'd say: 'Lucky for you it's only that.'" Miki added, mimicking the Chairman's voice.

The thought of that simply made Riza smile and laugh with two.

"Oh yeah," she remembered something. "Damn! I was so worked up about it, I forgot my lunch!"

The both of them laughed and Miki approached her and gave her a purple lunchbox. "Here," she said. "My mom told me to give it to you, since you always give me part of your Bento."

She smiled and thanked her friend and proceed eating.

Okay, just go in there and say you're sorry, it's easy, nee? Riza told herself. She took a deep breath. She was standing in front of the teachers lounge. She was staking her pride for this.

She was about to knock when she heard Ms. Asako's voice say. "Seriously, can you believe her, saying such rude things?"

"Now, now, Aoi," a voice said. "You shouldn't really judge Riza like that, she's really a nice kid."

"What are you saying, Tanako?" Ms. Asako's voice rang. "That girl is two face."

"Haha," Mr. Tanako laughed. "She's just stressed."

"She's a 10 years old two faced brat!" Ms. Asako yelled. Riza smiled as she imagines Ms. Asko's eyes twitching, glaring at Mr. Tanako.

"Then tell the chairman." He suggested.

"Uh!" she scoffed. "I already did that. And you know?" she said. "He laughed at me and said I was lucky that she only did that to me."

"Well, like I said, she must be stressed. After all, it's almost her birthday."

"So?" Ms. Asako, who just transferred this year and doesn't really know a lot about Riza, asked. "It's just her birthday."

By this, Riza decided to interrupt. She opened the door and every teacher looked at her direction as she spoke. "My mom died on my birthday a few years ago." She said.

"Ah!" she almost screamed, surprised. "M-ms, Akamiya, since when-?"

"Since you began about me saying rude thing to you" She said, still at the door.

"U-um, Riza…" she walked towards her. Calling her name sweetly.

"I won't tell Uncle," she said, and they heard Ms. Asako sigh in relief. "But please listen." She said. She bowed her head and apologized. "I'm really sorry for earlier, I was just confused about things, thank you, and good bye." She said and left.

After she left, Ms. Asako fell to the floor; the teachers just looked at her. "Aoi!" one of the older teachers said. "What did you?" "Didn't you know how influential she is? I mean her Uncle is the chairman of this school." Said another.

Aoi Asako just sat there, thinking. 'That girl surely is a Two Face, Such a scary person, how can she be only 10?"

From Lunch till dismissal, Riza was polite, nice and smiling. None of the teachers dare to talk about what happened earlier in the Teacher's Lounge.

The three of them went home together. But from time to time, she would turn around. She had this weird feeling that they were being followed. All through the walk from school, she was clutching her pendant.

When they were inside the building, Miki bid them farewell, saying her parents were out tonight and she have to take care of her siblings,

When they were inside the elevator, Shinji spoke. "Hey, Riz?" he called. "You know, I'm really sorry."

She chuckled. "I know."

"But..." he said. "You were acting kinda… off all the way to school."

"Hehe, about that…" I tried to smile, not trying to worry him. "Um, I was just worried… that Ichi might get angry with me for what I did earlier." Okay, it wasn't fully a lie.

"Yeah, well…" before he could say another word, the elevator door slid open. Lucky, she thought.

She quickly run towards their apartment and bid him goodbye before opening the door and leaving him.

"I'm really sorry, Shin." She murmured, when she was inside. "I just can't lie to you without having my ears turning red. You just won't understand how I feel."

"Heehee…" she heard a tiny giggle from her bag, and it started to shine. Riza took out her V-Pet which was glowing. And Moonmon's face giggling appeared.

"Heehee" she giggled, again. "Now I know Riza's two secrets." She said. "1: she's afraid to be lonely. 2: she likes that boy."

"W-what!" I blushed at the last part. "H-how the heck did you deduce that?"

"Don't you?"

"I-I do…" she admitted. "But you have to keep it a secret or else I'll flush you down the toilet after I feed you to a dog."

"Promise~"

She sighed and entered her room. Why… Why of all times, does my secret have to leak out now? I mean, I kept it secret for almost all my life, but now... a Digimon, which I know isn't real, knows of it? She thought.
