I'll be uploading every day for at least a few more chapters.

The next day, I bumped into Len in the hallway. He shouted in surprise when he fell over. I was still on my feet, my sturdy figure unaffected by the collision.

"K-Kaito." He looked a bit relieved when I helped him up.

"Huh? Why's your shirt wet?" I asked.

"Oh, this? Um…Miku came over to Rin and I to say hello. She walked with us towards school but accidentally tripped in her heels into me and I fell in the fountain." He said, embarrassed.

I suddenly felt very angry inside. It's not like Miku never wears heels. I knew she did it on purpose but I couldn't understand why.

"Oh." I said in realization. It's so she and Rin can become better friends. It'd be easier if Len's not in the way.

"What is it?" Len questioned.

"Uh. I remembered Miku's fashion teacher has a dryer in her room. We can ask to use it, I'm sure it'd be fine."

"What about first period?"

"We can ask for a pass. It doesn't matter if I miss first period, it's not important."

Len reluctantly accepted, grateful for my help.

When we got to the fashion room, the next door teacher said that teacher wouldn't be in yet but they had the key for us to get in if we'd be quick. I thanked her and we went to dry Len's shirt. He took his shirt off and tossed it in the dryer. For some reason, I felt it necessary to avoid looking at him when his chest was so bare. I did notice the slenderness of his figure though. He wasn't very muscular but he wasn't bony either. I quickly averted my eyes before he could catch me.

"Uh, I'm sorry, I never used one of these things." I said.

"A dryer?" he asked, surprised. "Rin and I always switch laundry duty so I'm used to using one." He said, turning a knob and pressing a button.

I just nodded, feeling shy. I don't really know what it is about Len that makes me insecure.

I arrived in first period without a pass. I felt bad that the teacher wasn't there to give Len one but I knew since he's a good kid and he's a freshman, he would get away with it. When I entered, it felt like the whole class looked over. The teacher eyed me, annoyed, but Miku's stare was much, much worse. I almost felt guilty but then I remembered her "accident" and jerked my chin upward defiantly.

During free period, we were asked to look over the student handbook and other boring things. Len and I finished our work quickly. I kept glancing over at Miku. She was working hard with Rin, concentrated. Once I had felt her eyes on me when Len and I were laughing about something. He had the cutest laugh.

"Hey, what lunch period do you have again?" I asked Len.

"Next period actually."

"Oh, really? Same here." I felt delight with this realization. "Why don't you and Rin sit at our lunch table? It's just me, Miku, Luka, Gakupo, and Neru."

Len thought this over for a brief second and nodded cheerfully.

During lunch, Miku emitted a displeasured aura only I could pick up. Luka was playing with Rin's bow. Gakupo was interrogating Len about sports he didn't play. Neru was Rin's phone number to her list of contacts. So it seemed the others have already warmed up to the two.

"Hey, Miku. I saw you and Kaito at the park on Saturday." Said Neru.

"Oh, you should have said hello." Miku said.

Neru and Miku didn't particularly like each other but they act like the best of friends. In a way, they were rivals. Miku was more popular though, but Neru still tried. She was the type who talked too much on her phone. She had a habit of switching boyfriends frequently. But in my theory, I think she likes Gakupo.

"Yeah, I should have." Neru said with a secret distaste.

Len tapped my shoulder softly. "Hm?"

"C-could you open this for me?" he asked quietly. It was a bottle of juice.

"Sure." I said with a small smile as I twisted the cap off. "There."

"Kaito." Miku said suddenly. "Do you want the rest of my apple? I can't finish it." She said, stretching it out to me.

"Okay." I said, taking it.

She gave me an expectant look. I just bit the apple, wondering what she was staring at.

"Do you like it?"

"Yeah." I said with a bit of an awkward smile. It's just an apple.

When lunch had ended and we were walking out, Len tugged on my sleeve. Although I always feel happy talking to him, I hoped this didn't have anything to do with Miku since I was suspicious of her lately and he waited until after lunch to talk to me.

"Uh, Kaito..." he began as I turned to face him.

"Yeah?"

"I wanted to thank you for the other day. And for this morning." he said. "It was really nice to sit with everyone at lunch. Maybe we could all go out to lunch, my treat?"

How considerate. I noted.

"Aw, you don't have to do that. But I agree, it would be nice to go out together."

I thought for a moment as we walked. "Oh! I've got it!"

"What?" Len chirped.

"I hear that this weekend is the last before the amusement park closes for the season. We should all go there." I suggested.

I saw Len's eyes light up even though he was trying to stay cool. "Y-yeah." He said and gave a little cough. "That'd be cool."

I laughed loudly and boyishly threw my arm over his shoulder for support. I think a few heads turned our way but for once I wasn't too aware of them. I was only aware of the charming glow on Len's face as he stammered.
