Well Zero had to admit that the Show Choir was exceptionally talented, although all he knew about choir came from Anna. The only reason he knew what they were singing was also Anna's fault. They sang a choral arrangement of Teenage Dream by Katy Perry and Haven't Met You Yet by Michael Buble and then led the whole school in the National Anthem. Only half the students were paying attention, ergo only half the students joined the singing though every one stood, right over their heart and faced the American flag. The Academy students stood but just started at everyone else with a confused expression on their faces. Zero heard one of Anna's friends whisper something about stupid Asians.
During the whole assembly Zero watched Anna closely. Every time she touched her dance partner or smiled at him he felt another pang of jealousy coarse through his body. When the stupid thing was finally over he couldn't remember any of it, he was too busy scanning the crowd for Anna. When he and the other Academy students reached the bottom of the stairs Anna appeared out of nowhere and threw her arms around him. He heard some muttering as the Academy students stopped and watched them. Anna's group of friends was standing nearby, which Zero was surprised to see a famous teen hunter among them. They were all giving them either approving or non-caring looks. Except for the red head. She was giving him an angry look crossed with suspicion. She seemed to be saying "I'm watching you," as she twisted some kind of weapon in her hands. Zero looked away and pretended he hadn't seen. When they finally pulled apart he leaned down and kissed Anna softly, and before any of the teachers saw them he pulled away. This earned him a death glare from Miku.
"Don't worry about Miku, she's just a little protective of me," said Anna.
"More like over protective," muttered Zero as they walked towards the group. He didn't like someone else trying to protect Anna that was his job! Not that he thought Miku cared what he felt about the subject.
Before Anna could greet her friends and explain who Zero was Miku expanded her sword and hit him on the head with the flat edge. Zero staggered backwards, more shocked than anything else. Anna gripped his shoulder to steady him. Once he had assured her that he was okay she rounded on Miku.
"What was that for?" Anna cried. Miku had already put her sword away and giving Zero a dark look.
"A warning," she said mysteriously. The bell rang and they all dispersed to get to class.
