What the heck were they talking about? Sharrkan and Sinbad really confused Aladdin. There was no way Kouen would choose her over Helen. Aladdin was a nerd, Helen was pretty and normal. And there was the age difference too. Kouen was a senior and she was a freshman. This was just not going to work out no matter what anyone else was saying.

Kouen waited for her early the next morning. She always came to school thirty minutes early. He didn't know why he knew, he just did. Apparently he had been watching her for a while. Of course, she just had to show up with Sinbad again. Why was she always around the idiot? He knew they were close but this seemed to be more then he originally thought. He didn't like seeing them together.

Kouen kept trying to find the girl alone, but everywhere she went Sinbad followed. And she still wasn't talking in Chem class. How the hell was he supposed to talk to her if the idiot was everywhere she was?

He kept an eye on her though. He was going to find her alone. There was no way Sinbad could be around her all the time. He had a weakness in the library. So, Kouen waited until Aladdin went to study in the library Friday after school. Sinbad followed her, but ended up turning down a different aisle and talking to the white-haired crush of his. Yes, Kouen knew things going on with other people just not with himself.

It didn't matter though she was alone now. He had a while before Sinbad would get over his "distraction" and come check on the girl. He follows the girl into one of the individual study rooms. She is facing away from him.

"Sinbad, you don't have to stay. I'm going to be here for a while." She ruffled some papers and spread out several books. "Sinbad?" She turned to face him and jumped. "Kouen! What are you do-doing in here?"

"So are you done ignoring me now?"

Her cheeks turned red. "What are you talking about?"

"You have been ignoring everything I say and running away from me outside of class. Are we done with the cat and mouse game now or are you going to try to run out the door and into Sinbad's protective arms?"

"It isn't like that."

"Oh no?"

"I was just…" He raised an eyebrow at her. "Never mind. Just go find Helen and enjoy her company."

Ouch. "I'd rather not spend any more time with that…woman. She doesn't have much to offer besides that annoying giggle."

"Just leave me alone. I have to study for the Chemistry lab test. I'm not failing because Helen doesn't get it and you are distracted by her."

"I'm distracted by her?"

"Who isn't? She is pretty and tall and she speaks two languages a-"

"Last time I checked you spoke two languages. And you are pretty too, just a different kind. And to be honest she is too tall and clingy, it is immensely annoying."

Her eyes widened. Had he just called her pretty or was she imagining things? "I can actually speak three."

"Three?"

"English, French, and Japanese."

She could see that smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "Of course you can."

"Now go away. I have to study. Comparing the two of us is really just frustrating me at this point."

"Let's get dinner."

"What?"

"Let's, as in the two of us, go get dinner, like at a restaurant. What happened to miss 'I speak three languages' from two seconds ago? Helen isn't rubbing off on you is she?"

"You mean like a-a-a d-"

"Like a date. Now let's go before the we lose reservation I made."

"You made a reservation? There is no way you knew I would be alone in the library today."

"Actually, I did. But I've had the reservation standing since the day you came back to school. You just keep ignoring me so I've never been able to use it."

Her entire face was blushing horribly. Her smile was back. Yeah, Kouen was much happier this way.

"I have a condition."

"And?"

"No more talking to Helen in Chinese. I can't stand not understanding what people are saying around me."

"Or I could just not talk to her at all."

"That would be nice to."

When they got to the stairs she waited for him to go down a few steps before leaning over and pressing her lips against his cheek. Then she grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the school yard.
