CHAPPIE 6

(Lunch)

Tart stared into space, oblivious to the buzz of students around him. He had enjoyed his date with Pudding a lot…almost too much, so much that he hadn't been able to think about anything else.

True to her promise, other then the odd hug when he had won her that stuffed monkey in the toss-a-ring game, and the times when she squeezed his arm while on the spider ride, she hadn't glomped him once.

He grinned into space, Pudding was so cute. Once on a water ride, her pony tail came out, and she had gotten so upset about looking so wet, that he had needed to buy her an ice cream to calm her down. The second the creamy, cold treat was in her hands, she had brightened up so quickly it was as if she had never been sad. Taruto had always admired her ability to change her moods fast, even when he acted like he hated her.

"Hey Taruto-kun" Tart looked up to see Ashleigh, the red haired cheerleader "How was your weekend?" she asked blinking her big blue eyes, trying to look cute. Tart sighed "nothing much, did some homework, went on a date." Thoughts of his date made all his insides go warm. What the heck was wrong with him? Why was the thought of his time with Pudding suddenly making him feel so fuzzy and happy?

"Oh?" she said, still blinking her eyes and still trying in vain to look cute. 'her eyes look like pools of ice' Tart mused 'their still pretty, but they have nothing on Puddings warm chocolate brown ones' he blinked as Ashleigh smiled, trying to get him to say more 'and Puddings much cuter' he added.

"Look Ashleigh" he said annoyed "do you want something" Ashleigh lost the cute act and instead traded it for a sly seductive smile "Wanna ditch class to go out with me instead" she said fluttering her eye lashes more slowly. Taruto tried his best to not look disgusted, but for some reason, he couldn't stop comparing her to Pudding. From her hair to her posture to the way Puddings smile made her eyes Sparkle.

'Great, now Im dreaming about her smile, I feel like Kissu' he thought. He needed something to remind himself why he was supposed to pretend to hate Pudding. But just as he opened his mouth to say yes, he was interrupted by a loud "TARU-TARU!!"

Tart swivelled around to see Pudding bounding towards them on her big red and white ball. She was dressed in the school gymnastics uniform in bright neon orange and her face was grinning wildly. She leaped off and glomped him. 'That's strange' he puzzled 'she isn't squeezing me so hard today'. When she wasn't squeezing the life out of him, her hugs were, kinda nice. He glanced to the side to see Ashleigh staring at him, and knew what she was expecting.

So reluctantly he took a deep breath and yelled half heartedly "SOMEBODY PLAESE GET THIS MONKY GIRL OFF ME!!!!!!"

Pudding released him and Taruto could see the disapproving looks from his peers as the stared at Pudding's costume, he heard some girl's murmuring "what's with the get-up, is she doing cos-play as an orang-utan or something" they laughed.

Suddenly Tart felt really angry 'what's wrong with what she's wearing? I think she looks good' the neon orange colour brought out her cream coloured skin and her butter yellow hair. Pudding seemed not to notice the rude comments, since she was grinning happily. But at the same time in her eyes was certain sadness.

He shook it off and turned to Ashleigh, for some reason, he suddenly couldn't stomach the idea of another boring date with some girly-girl chatter box, who would undoubtedly drive him crazy in a few minutes flat. Instead he suddenly wanted to be with someone who would make him laugh, someone who was always smiling innocently, some one like Pudding.

"Sorry Ashleigh, Im busy" he said. Ashleigh looked shocked, but Tart ignored her as he turned to Pudding "Hey, Monkey girl. Don't hug me, but I need to talk to you about a class assignment" he cocked his head to the door "come on"

Tart could feel people's eyes on his back, and he could also hear Puddings feet following him out the door. When they were finally far enough away he stopped and turned to Pudding. She had on the most adorably confused look on her face that tart had trouble fighting a blush. "What class project Taru-Taru?" she asked cocking her head to the side cutely and blinking. Now that was cute.

"I-I just wanted to ask if you were doing anything on Saturday?" There, he said it, he finally asked Pudding out on a date, without being forced to. If he was going to spend every waking minute of his life thinking about what it would be like to be with her, he might as well make a good memory first.

"No" she replied "Why?" Tart took a deep breath "Then do you want to the circus…with me?" Pudding stared at him, and Tart half expected her to say no, and the idea of her rejection, of her just wanting to be friends, made his heart sink. But luckily Pudding's eyes lit up "Yes Taru-Taru, That'll be so cool." she cried happily, and that smile was all he needed to convince himself that he was doing the right thing.

Just then, the bell rang to signify class starting. "Ok, see you soon Taru-Taru" she waved before skipping into Science, leaving a grinning Tart behind.

(As well going on at the exact same time (seriously what are the chances))

Pai walked down the corridor looking for Kissu 'Where in the world is that stupid Baka' he thought annoyed. He was still half angry about what had happened with Bridget, but their kiss had calmed him down slightly. He stopped in the corridor and touched his lips, feeling a sudden wash of guilt and horror wash over him. What had he done!? His actions suddenly dawned on him. He had kissed Bridget Verdant, while he was still suppose to be in love with Retesu.

While he didn't belong to Retesu, it still felt weird to kiss another girl, but…was it possible to feel so guilty and so horrible…ant yet, feel so wonderful and so amazing, like every part of your body was buzzing all at the same time. If so then it could half explain how he was feeling.

"Pai-Sempai…" a timid voice made him turn around to see the Blond Becky clutching her hands together and looking very nervous "Are…Did you mean it when you said…you were going to have us expelled" Pai watched her as she rushed up to her and grasped his sleeve "Please don't, we were just jealous, we didn't mean to hurt her that badly." Tears were forming in her eyes "I can't get expelled, my parents…" she trailed off as Pai shook her hands off.

He stared at her in disgust. He wanted to yell her that she was expelled, that she might as well pack her bags. The fact, that they weren't even sorry for beating an innocent girl to a pulp for jealousy, but for the fact that they were going to be expelled. But one thought of Bridget, and he knew what he had to do.

Coldly he glared at her "If I had my way, I would have you publicly humiliated, then expelled" the girl winced "but…" he continued "because of Bridget, Im not going to"

Becky looked up surprised "Don't go thinking she did it because she's scared of you, because that girl has more self respect than that. She did it because she's understanding and forgiving and she didn't want you to get in trouble because she's too nice." He turned "just remember, this is twice she's convinced me to let you off. One more time and I may not listen to her" he glared over his shoulder "now we wouldn't want that, would we?"

The girl shook her head wildly. Pai knew he had to do this, as much as he hated letting them go, but he knew Bridget would hate him if he got them expelled. He was right, she was too nice. But then, that was the best thing about Bridget. Her heart was pure and innocent.

Bridget opened her eyes only to shut them again once hit by the dim noon sun. Sometime between Pai leaving and the nurse pressing a cold compress to her forehead, Bridget just fell asleep. After barley sleeping a wink the night before, and being beaten up, she needed to sleep so badly.

She sat up and felt her mind go dizzy and her stomach lurch. "Ughhhh" she groaned as her swung her legs over the side of the bed. Eventually the room stopped spinning and Bridget was able to see straight. "Oh you're awake now" Bridget looked up to see Pai sitting in the chair beside her bed.

She blushed and stuttered "P-Pai Sempai what are you doing here?" Pai raised an eyebrow. "The teacher told me to give you your homework. But I thought Id better stay back to explain it to you first." He said.

Bridget took the papers from him and recognised the work "thank you Pai san, but I've done this work before in my past school, it wont be a problem". Pai nodded. "What time is it?" she asked rubbing her temples. "School finished five minutes ago" he said "you must have been tired, you slept though school"

Bridget's eyes widened "What!!!" she shrieked, causing her former headache to return "but the teachers…am I in trouble…?" "Whoa calm down" Pai cried with his arms up "your not in trouble. When the teachers saw the cuts and bruises, and I told them you were beaten up, they let you go" Bridget opened her mouth to ask something, but Pai cut her off "and no…I didn't tell them it was the Beckys. But I did tell them Id take care of it" he said

Now it was Bridget's turn to raise her eye brow "and they listened to you?" she asked "I didn't think teachers listened to students". Pai grinned "they do if the students father donates 1000£ to the school every two months"

Bridget tried to stand up, but tripped and fell. Pai leaped forward and caught her. "Can you stand?" he asked concerned. Bridget nodded "just give me a minute" she said.

But instantly, she fell over again the second time she tried to stand. Pai rolled his eyes, and scooped Bridget in his arms and carried her out the door bridal style. "What are you doing, put me down!" she shrieked. Pai tightened his grip and tried not to drop her. "No" he said firmly "Im going to carry you to my car and drive you home since you are incapable of walking."

He expected Bridget to calm down a little, but instead she only struggled harder "No!! I don't want you to come to my house". Eventually Pai gave up and said in defeat "aright, if I promise to only drive you close to your house, will you please stop struggling, Im gonna drop you"

Bridget thought for a minute. If he was only going to drive her half way, then she might as well let him. As long as it was only half way, she definitely didn't want him finding out her secret.

She nodded and after a few minutes the two were in Pai's sports car and were backing out the school drive way.

Twenty minutes later, Bridget was starting to feel ten times better. She was even able to accept some water that Pai offered her. Soon they were only three roads away from her house when Bridget indicated that she wanted him to pull over.

But as she was getting out Pai put his hand on her arm to stop her getting out "Bridget" he started. Bridget turned to him "yes Pai-sempai" she said.

Pai took a deep breath and decided to get it over with "I was wondering if you wanted to go on a date with me…" he paused "…A real date"

Bridget blinked "come again?" she asked. Pai took in another deep breath and reputed "do you want to go on a date with me on Saturday? Kissu invited us on his date with Ichigo to the Karaoke bar? ...or maybe…if you prefer, we could go to the movies instead?."

"Kissu got another date with Ichigo…with her going willingly!!?" she asked surprised. Pai shrugged and tried to hold back a grin "don't ask me how" he said.

Bridget smiled Id love to go with you guys. But are you the type of guy who likes Karaoke bars?" she asked. Pai smiled as he remembered their first conversation on their last date (see last chapter).

"Actually, not so much, but ill endure it if it means Kissu might finally stop bugging me about Ichigo. He smiled "and what about you" he asked "were going to a karaoke bar, I thought you said you couldn't sing"

Bridget remembered that he knew her secret about her being able to sing…but not wanting to. Suddenly something dawned on her. And a ridiculous smile broke out on her face. "Oh don't worry about that." She said "you may be surprised"

Bridget opened the door to his car and walked out "Goodnight Pai-sempai, and it's a date" she smiled before shutting the door and walking down the street.

Pai wanted to follow her to her house to make sure she didn't fall again. But he didn't want to break her trust. So instead he drove away. He didn't know why he had asked Bridget out. Kissu had said that he could ask anyone… so why Bridget.

The answer was simple, he wanted to spend time with Bridget, and after that kiss…he also wanted to know why he had done that. And why it had affected him so much.

Bridget was doing something to him, and he needed to find out what.
