Sorry this chapter is so short. The next one will be a lot longer because there will be more happening. I hope you like it.

Tuesday after school Hayli walked to the wall separating the sidewalk from the school grounds, where she normally met up with Novalee. Though it wasn't her sister she found. Sitting on the wall was the orange haired Kyo and he wasn't alone. Laying along the wall and climbing all over him were several cats. A look of irritation was planted firmly on his face. This didn't seem to bother the cats though, as a large brown one strutted over and plopped down on Kyo's lap, receiving a glare from the boy in return. "You seem to be pretty popular." Hayli remarked as she walked over.

"It's not by choice. Trust me." He replied, attempting to shoo the oblivious cats away in a failed attempt.

"What? How can you not like cats. They're beautiful." She said, picking up a black one and cradling it in her arms.

"They're stupid." Kyo replied sourly as he pushed the brown one away.

"That's not true." She told him, playing with the one in her arms. "They are intelligent and so much better than dogs." She giggled as the cat swatted playfully at her hand. Kyo stared at her, saying nothing.

"Hey guys, sorry i'm late." Nova called out as she jogged up to the pair, smiling at the sight. "You ready to go?"

"Not yet. We have to wait for Tenkai." Hayli remarked absentmindedly, as she scratched the black cats ear.

"Tenkai?" Kyo inquired.

"Yeah. Hayli's new boyfriend is tutoring her now." Nova explained, irritated. "I forgot he was coming too."

"I wouldn't need a tutor if I had one of these little guys." Hayli said, still playing with the cat.

"What do you mean?" Kyo questioned, a slight tilt to his head.

"I love when cats lay on my lap. It's the only time I'll read a book, because I don't want to move around and disturb it." She said with a chuckle and smiling from the cat to Kyo.

"I think i'm going to puke." Novalee commented.

"Why?" Kyo asked her, looking concerned.

"Just look at them, she said with a disgusted face. Haylirain and Tenkai were on the opposite side of the library. The couples version of studying consisted of giggling, whispering, and making out. Not only was it distracting for, who was actually trying to learn, but she already disliked Tenkai immensely and hated that he was making out with her sister in their home.

"Try not to let it get to you Lee." Kyo encouraged, though he was just as distracted as she was.

There was a knock on the door and Ronny walked in. "Hey kids, how is the studying going?" They all replied with forms of 'good'. "Great. Well it's time for dinner. Would you boys like to stay and eat with us?"

"Hell yeah! Free food!" Tenkai agreed immediately.

"I think I'm going to head home." Kyo said uneasily, as he started to pack his things up.

"Are you sure?" Nova asked, slightly disappointed.

"Yeah, but i'll be back Thursday and I'll see you at school tomorrow. Bye Lee."

Nova couln't wait for the evening to end. Dinner had consisted of mostly Tenkai telling stories about his tattoos and how tough he was with gangs after him. Hayli was practically drooling the whole time. Uncle Ronny was being polite while trying to finish dinner as soon as possible, which Nova was thankful for. As soon as her head hit the pillow that night she let out a sigh of relief. At least tomorrow would be better.
