Hi guys! I'm updating for the second time today. Also, I have to go to bed early tonight because I have a test tomorrow, so this chapter might be a little shorter than usual. Anyways, enjoy the chapter !

~~Recap~~

Amu falls off a ladder while putting up decorations for the school party, and Ikuto brings her to the nurses office.

~~~Chapter 8: Amu Injured And Annoying

Ikuto layed me softly on the nurses office bed.

"Jeez..." I grumbled. "Why do I have to sit in this stupid bed when I'm barely hurt at all..."

I looked around the room as I waited for Ikuto to return with the nurse. The bed I was laying on was completely white, and a few light blue granite counters were against the left side off the room, which had many medical supplies on top of them.

Finally, a small windows was behind the bed. It hurt my eyes to look out the window. Despite it being mid November, and it was snowing a little bit, the sun was still shining brightly.

Ikuto returned with the nurse.

The nurse, a young women in her early 30's, had light brown hair and blue eyes the color of the sky on a summer afternoon. She was the type of person that gives off the friendly vibe.

"Well lets take a look at your wound." She said a little too cheerfully.

She bent over, and examined my upper left leg.

It didn't hurt to much, but it had a lot of blood.

"Oh dear... What happened?" The nurse asked.

"I was putting up party banners in the gym, I fell of a ladder and scraped my leg while falling." I explained quickly.

"Well, I'll patch it up with a old fashioned bandage. But you lost a good amount of blood, so I think you should stay in here for twenty minutes so you don't feel dizzy from loss of blood. Tsukiyomi-san, could you stay here with her?" The nurse looked over at Ikuto.

"Sure thing." Ikuto waited for the nurse to look away from him, and then he cast his trademark smirk at me. Damn him.

The nurse flashed us one more cheerful smile, and cruised out of the room, leaving Ikuto and I... ALONE. Lucky me.

Ikuto pulled over a wooden stool and sat next to the bed. "Sooooo..."

"What?"

Ikuto bore his dark blue eyes into my golden ones, and held our gazes together.

It was almost like a staring contest.

"What do you want?" I demanded as he wouldn't stop staring at me.

He grinned slightly, and then shrugged his broad shoulder. "Nothing..."

The next ten minutes where silent, with sighs every once in a while.

Finally, when the twenty minutes were over, I bolted out of that damned bed.

Before I headed back to the gym to finish up the banners, Ikuto said, "Amu, it's already 3 pm, so we have to head back to our dorms."

I changed my direction that I was running, and headed to my dorm.

When I got to my dorm, everyone was sitting on their beds doing nothing.

Utau, as usual, was listening to her ipod, Yoru was on a small mini laptop, and Kiseki was playing on his Phone.

I flopped down on my bed. I'm just so excited for the party tomorrow!

~~~The next day, at the start of the party~~~

I entered the gym.

Hundreds of students where gathered in the same place, and I felt extremely excited.

In the front of the crowd, a teacher blew their whistle so all the student would listen.

The noise died down, and the teacher began.

"Alright! It's the start of the first event at the festival, the costume ball! Girls will enter the girls locker room, and will pick a random bag that is in the room, and the costume that is inside will be your costume! It's vise versa for the boys, as well. Then, you will go back into the gym. The gym will be pitch black, so don't panic. You will find a random partner in the dark, and when the lights turn on, the person closest to you will be your partner for the costume ball, Alright?"

"Yes!" All the students responded.

I'm going to end the chapter right here, because I'm starting to get tired... Also, nobody reviewed the last chapter, (Chapter 7) :(. Anyways, please review :).

~~~Next chapter: The Costume Ball~~~

Finally, it's time for the 3 day school party to begin! The first event at the party is the costume ball. You'll never guess what Amu's costume is...

And I'm sure every single one of you can guess who Amu's partner for the costume ball is going to be...
