afterschool

"Detention" was written on the blackboard. everyone in the class except for chitose was in detention.

"this sucks!" kyouko yelled.

"quiet. it's all your fault." ayano said. "I'm the student counsil vice president, I can't believe i'm in detention.."

"sorry, ayano."

"w-well, it's not like i wont forgive you."

2hours later

"well then, i hope you realized you realize what your behavior is like during class and wont do it again. that's all for today, you all may leave now EXCEPT for toshino and sugiura. stay in this classroom." the teacher said.

"yes, ma'am" ayano and kyouko said. "good luck, sugiura-san" one of her classmates said to her.

Ayano did was just sigh. 'I'm tired of being teased by everyone..' ayano tought. without realizing it, kyouko looked at ayano with a worried face.

5 minutes later (after everyone left the classroom)

ayano and kyouko is standing in front of the teacher. "umm.. how may i help you ma'am?" ayano said.

"ah, yes. since we dont have a class rep, i thought you two would be perfect." the teacher explained.

"wait, normally it's just one person right?" ayano said.

"well, because your already busy with bieng the student counsil vice president, i thought you may need an assistant or something." the teacher said.

"w-well, i don't mind having toshino kyouko my assistant. how about you,toshino kyouko?" ayano asked kyouko. "of course i wouldn't mind. and i wanted to spend more time with you so i would have volunteered in the first place." kyouko said with a grin on her face.

"i-it's not like i want to be with you!" ayano blushed.

"hey you two, stop flirting in front of a teacher." the teacher said. "we weren't flirting!" ayano said and blush harder.

"yeah, yeah, of course you weren't. so, that's a yes?" the teacher smiled. "yes, ma'am." both of them said.

"thanks you two. well, that's all. go home safe."

at the school gate

silence

"so... wanna buy ice cream?" kyouko said.

"s-sure..."

in the park

"aw yeah, that hit the spot" kyouko said eating rum raisin ice cream.

"you really like this flavor don't you?" ayano said with the same flavor on her hand.

"yeah, i do. let me tell you a secret. when i was little, i accidently drank rum and got drunk. i liked the taste of it though." kyouko smiled.

"well, that's messed up. did someone saw you drunk?"

"yeah, i wont tell you why but they called 911 because of what i've done" kyouko laughed. ayano just laughed with her.

15 minutes later (ayano's POV)

"hey, ayano." toshino kyouko said with a serious face.

"what's wrong? you look serious all of a sudden." what's up with her?

"i wanted to asked you why didn't you refuse of me being your assistant." woah, didn't see that coming.

"eh, what do you mean?"

"well, all i might do is cause you trouble... and sometimes i feel like you hate me or something." wat?

what the hell? why would she think that?

"what makes you think that?"

"because you're cold to me sometimes.."

"..you dummy.. you really think i would hate yo-" wait, what the hell am i saying!? eh, she's gone!?

"hey! toshino kyouko where are you!?" i looked around but she's no where to be found. where is she..

4 minutes later

"ah, found you." ayano said as i catch my breath behind toshino kyouko who's sitting on a bench.

"ah, sorry, ayano" as toshino kyouko turned to look at me, i saw a furball on her lap.

"woah, what happened?"

"when we were talking i heard a cat so i went looking for it." toshino kyouko smiled.

"well, don't just disappear all of the sudden like that." geez "anyway, what are you going to do with that?"

walking home

"are you sure you're going to take that home?" i asked.

"yeah, i'm sure my mom wouldn't mind." toshino kyouko said carrying the fluffy thing.

"hhmm? what's with the sad face? do you want me to take you home with me instead?" toshino kyouko said with a grin.

"shut up!" i yelled. how could she flirt so easily?

"you didn't say no..(๑•﹏•)" toshino kyouko... (`д´ ╬

3 minutes later

"...aya." hmm? did she call my name?.

"hmm? did you call me?"

"how about aya?" toshino kyouko said with a gentle smile.

"ah, that cat's name.. wait, aya!?" don't make me your pet!

"yeah, i like that name. it's cute. it makes me remember someone." kyouko said with a sad face. I, ayano, was blushing like crazy. but it's always been this way so i

think i got used with the flirting stuff a little... wait, why is she sad? normally she'll be having a grin on her face.

"toshino kyouko...?" i asked in concern.

"well let's go home, aya." she said smiling at the cat. then she looked at me.

"goodbye, ayano" kyouko waved at me with a smile.

"ah. goodbye..." my voice was high. very high. like a chipmunk. hehe

toshino kyouko just laughed and turned around. she was holding the cat in her arms.

"aya..." toshino kyouko whispered then started walking home just like that.

at sugiura household

"I'm home." ayano said as she walk inside her home.

"oh, welcome home. how was school?" her mother said.

"i-it was fine"

"well, dinner will be ready in 15 minutes." her mother said.

"ok, mom. i'll be in my room." ayano was walking to her room like a lifeless zombie.

"oh, my. i wonder what happened.." her mother said.

ayano's room (ayano's pov)

i was laying on my bed with nothing to do except to think about that toshino kyouko. aahhh! what's with her!? does she really think that i hate her? am i cold to her? ... hhmm? ..oh my god.. i'm so cold to her! i smacked my head to the wall beside me. oww..

"aya-chan! you okay there?" my mother said from downstairs.

"yeah, i'm fine! sorry."

"well, dinners ready."

"ok. just a minute." i said while going downstairs.

my forehead hurt's... well that's what you get for being cold to toshino kyouko without realizing it.

"oh, my, ayano. what happened to your forehead?" my mom said with a concered face.

"i-i just.. umm... i was just practicing CPR." of course. CPR.

my mom's eyes was full of confusion. "CPR?"

"y-yes, CPR." i said as drink the water in front of me.

"oh, okay" my mom said... ah.. sugiura ayano what's wrong with you?

after spacing out for a little while

"thanks for the food." i said as i stood up. before i knew it it was already 10 p.m. what the... mom was sitting in the sofa while whatching TV.

"oh, you're done at last?" my mom chuckled.

"uumm.. yeah." it's already this late?

"come sit with me for a sec, dear." my mom said.

"ok..." i sat beside my mom and look at her in the eyes.

"ayano-chan, are you okay?" my mom asked worried.

"what do you mean?" i said confused.

"you're not your usual self today so it made me worry. i mean, walking like a zombie? practicing CPR and got a bump in your forehead? and eating dinner for 3

hours.. it's just not like you." my mom said.

"i-i'm just a little tired. don't worry, mom." i smiled to my mom.

"okay, but if something is troubling you, make sure you talk with me ok?" my mom said with a smile.

"thank you, mom. i'll be in my room." ah, how nice to have a mom like you.

ayano's room

ahh.. my mom thinks i'm a weirdo now..

after relaxing in my bed for 5 minutes i realized something. aya.. that cat sure is lucky to be take care of toshino kyouko. wait, does she even know how to handle a

pet? no no no no. no need to worry ayano. this is toshino kyouko were talking about. she'll do things right without trying. but if she tries to do things right...

at the toshino household. (kyouko's POV)

all right, i finished feeding and washing her. all that's left to do is to relax. i was reading a manga on my bed with aya on my lap. i can't help but to pet her again and

again. aahh.. so cute. just like her. how i love this relaxing time of mine. quiet. peaceful. no one to disturb m-

'beep, beep, beeep'

oh? my cellphone rang all of the sudden. it's from ayano...

"good evening." i said to the phone while petting my cat.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WITH THE CAT!?" was the greeting i got from the vice prez.

"i'm petting her. like any other owner would do..what's wrong?" i asked.

"well, make sure you pet her GOOD." ayano said with a voice that gave me chills then cut the call. hehe, is she worrying about the cat? come to think about it, i have

no idea how to handle a pet. ah, is this when i ask someone to help me to take care of this fullball? this is going to be fun. as i smile, i called ayano.

"WAT?" woah, that gave me chills.

"well, since i don't know anything about taking care of a cat, maybe we could take care of aya toghether from now on." i smiled at the phone.

"..."

"..ayano?"

"W-WELL, I GGUESSSS IITT CCANN''TT BE HELP."

that startled me.. that voice.. was creepy..

"oh, thanks. are you free tomorrow?"

"y-yes," ayano stuttered.

"ok then. come at my house anytime, ayano. goodnight." i said.

ayano's POV

"goodnight, toshino kyouko." as i cut the phone, something went on my mind.

toshino kyouko, huh?
