chapter 3

[keito's pov]

I opened the door just a crack and looked around the room warily. The curtain was closed around Ryushi's side of the room so i slipped in quietly. if i wasn't mistaken he had a class right now so i had about an hour to get my stuff into my new room. i pulled my suitcase out from under the bed and opened it, ready to start packing it. when i opened the bag i was suprised to find that the bag was already packed, i looked around and realized that all my stuff had been put neatly into one bag.

"thats weird" i muttered to myself as went to zip it back up. i stopped and unzipped the bag again looking closely at the contents. sitting under a pair of my boxers was a pack of cigaretts. i picked it up and looked inside it. The box was empty, and a note was stuffed inside. curious i pulled it out to read.

i'll mind my buisness you mind yours

-ryushi

i blinked wondering what he meant by that. was he telling me to stay or telling me to go could it be that he doesn't mind having me as a room mate. i shook my head and got to my feet. Its not like i cared what that guy thought. i was just happy to get away from him. i zipped my bag back up and walked out of the room, dropping the box.

[normal pov]

Keito sat in a booth across from Zane sipping his coffee. Apparently he was supposed to be meeting the girl Zane was hooking him up with.

"I'm tellin ya dude she's tottally hot!" Zane insisted finishing what was probably his tenth cup of coffee.

"yeah sure whatever. i'm still not so sure about this. but if you think its a good idea i guess i can give her a shot. so whats her personality like?"

"huh well she interesting i guess you could say" zane said thoughtfully. Keito groaned before finishing his coffee. As he had expected zane had probably picked some super weird chick. probably someone he's known for a while. keito groaned again imagining a girl who acted just like zane. it was probably every guys worst nightmare.

Suddenly the door opened, the cool afternoon breeze blowing into the dinner. zane looked up and keito turned around following his gaze. Standing in the doorway was a beautiful girl. she had long wavy brown hair and large blue eyes. she was wearing a white sun dress and high heeled shoes. around her neck was an expencive looking gold necklace and matching earings hung from her ears. she smiled over at zane and keito and started to walk over. zane hurried to his feet.

"he...heya Esmarelda!" he said with an awqward smile. the girl smiled at him and sat across from keito, looking completelty out of place in the old dinnner.

"Hi i'm Esmarelda." she said with smile. She leaned foreward and held out her hand.

"I'm Keito, so um i guess Zane dragged you here because of his stupid plan as well?" keito asked taking her hand. she giggled and nodded.

"Yeah but i owed him a favor so i decided that i really should come here to meet you. after all its not every day that i get to meet a really cute guy like you. And you seem really nice too." keito blushed involentairily at the complement.

"T....thanks. Um but why do you owe Zane of all people a favor?" Keito asked noticing that she hadn't let go of his hand.

"he saved me a few weeks ago" she said finally letting go of his hand. she took out a menu and started to turn through it.

"Hey zane get back to work!" one of the cooks called from the kitchen. Zane rolled his eyes and took out a pad and pencil.

"So what'll ya have Mary?" he asked using her nickname.

"just some coffee i guess" she said hesitantly. keito thought for a moment then grinned.

"how about we go some where else theres this really nice coffee shop not to far from here. they've got some really good coffee" he said getting to his feet. the girl smiled and also got to her feet.

"alright that sound wondeful" she said grasping his arm. keito scratched the back of his head and looked at zane. Zane gave him a thumbs up and pushed the two of them out the door.

Ryushi leaned out the window of his dorm. He had told the boarding office that he would pay extra to turn his dorm into a single room. he had then pushed both beds together and taken down the curtain. If Keito didn't want to share a room with him it was fine. its not like he even wanted a room mate in the first place. He put a cigarret in his mouth and went to light it, but stopped when he noticed keito walking around with some girl. the cigarrette fell to the ground and he smirked, already plotting a way to mess with keito. he put on his shoes and walked out of the room.

"time to make a freshman cry" he said grinning.
