"Oooh!! Why can't I understand a thing?" Ran said lying herself lazily on her bed and holding a science book.

It's 9:00 in the evening and it has been 4 hours since she started reviewing her notes. She dropped the book on the floor and yelled.

"HOW I HATE THIS BOOKS AND LEARNING STUFF!!" She settled down for a moment. "Why do I have to do this?"


Flashback…

While eating dinner…

"Hey dad, Ran doesn't take her studying seriously… and Miyu told me that she spent all her money on those girly stuffs." Yamato told his father.

"What? I just gave your allowance this morning? And you'd just spend those in just one day?" Her father yelled at her.

'Miyu! You'll pay for this I swear.' Ran promised to herself. "But Dad, I can't help it. I like all of them." She defended herself. "And girls need it like me. Right mom?" she turned to her mother.

"Yeah we need those things… But Ran you don't have to spend all of it."

"But mom?!"

"Shut it Ran." Her father yelled at her.

"Dad! What will I do? I don't have money now…"

"Well, it's your fault. You should find a way to earn some. And I won't give you."

Ran stood. "No way! Mom?"

"Ok Ran. I'm gonna give you an allowance if--"

"Mom!" everyone shouted.

"It's okay honey." She said and looked deeply into Ran's eyes. Ran swallowed. "Now Ran, if you want me to give you another allowance for this week. You'll have to promise me that you'll study hard and pass the exam."

"And if I don't?" Ran asked.

"Then you'll never see those girly stuffs and the outside world."

"Huh?! No way!!" Ran freaked out.

End of flashback


"Mom, you're very smart…" Ran sighed. "… really smart."


The next morning (Sunday)…

Ran went for a walk and paused… then shouted. "Why does all this happening to me?!" Everyone looked at her.

"Hey! Will you stop yelling? You'll break everyone's eardrums you know?" a familiar male voice said from her back.

"Rei!!"

"Why are you making stupid things again?" Rei asked. "You are very irritating."

Ran stared at Rei… scanned him and realize that… "Oh how can I forget… Rei!!" Ran held Rei's both arms.

"Huh? What are you saying? And let go of me, crazy?" Rei struggled but Ran held him tightly. Rei looked at Ran… her eyes are shining like stars as if she had seen a money.

"Hey! What happen to you?" Rei asked with confusion.

Ran let go of Rei's arm and said "Rei, do you like some ice cream or anything? My mom gave me another allowance this morning."

'Huh!? What's up with her?' Rei thought. "Don't act like that ok? You're making me shivered."

"Well? What? What do you want Rei?

'She call me by my name?' Rei is now confused. And knowing Ran, to make her do this… He paused for a moment and realized something. He sighed and said "Ok spit it out!"

"What?" Ran asked.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"Oh! Come on Rei. I'm just being friendly to you." Ran muttered.

"SPIT IT OUT!" Rei growled in an irritated voice.

A moment of silence surrounds the two and then "Oh please Rei help me to stu-."

"No!" was all he can say.

"What!?" ran asks.

"I said no!" rei answered.

"Oh please Rei, don't be so cruel? I need someone who's smart like you to teach me."

"You heard me. I said no and that is final." He started to walk away but Ran stopped him by grabbing his arm that made their faces became closer.

"No please. Please Rei I'll do everything just teach me!" Ran pleaded.

Rei stared at Ran for a moment. 'Those eyes…' he feels nervous at their position. 'Oh please!!' he prayed. 'Don't make me do something I'll regret…' Then his eyes moved on her lips. 'Dammit!!'

"Well?" Ran interrupted his thoughts and she didn't even notice that he's staring at her in a special way.

Rei's eyes still focus on her inviting lips. "Uh, O… ooh… alright then."

"What!? Really? Yahooo!!" Ran squealed. "I did it mom. I did it…" She yelled as she let go of Rei's arm.

And that's when Rei realized what he had just said. He tapped his forehead. 'Stupid!'

"You're very kind Rei. You really are." Ran gleed over and over.

'Geeeez! What have I done…? This will just make things worst than ever.' He thought to himself

He turned to Ran and mulled 'Oh Ran why can't I resist you?'
