The next day, our teacher in research asked as to report and explain the different types of research..The topic assigned to us is Experimental research..

Since I'm a newcomer, I was asked to join the group of the president of the class so he can accompany me..

The President of the class,the short, black-haired guy named....Ya..Ya...I can't see his name plate..Yamada-san.. ahhh finally..

Yamada san introduced me to his classmates and let me get to know them. After the introductions.. we were asked to be in pairs so we can just divide the work..everyone already has their pair except me..

There's still 2 names in the list of our group members but I can't read the other one cause of the Kanji..

Then Yamada-san said, "Ahhh...Koharu-san.. here's your partner.." I was glad that I already have a partner but when I turned, I frowned. 

"He's my partner??!!" I almost shouted..

"Ohayou, Yabu-kun...Hai Koharu-san he's your partner.. Is there any problem??" Yamada-san said.

"Iie..Iie..no..no.. It's just..just.. never mind.."I replied.

I.. I was partnered with HIM..The annoying handsome but hard to approach guy.. He's......... scary.. I don't think I'll get along with him well.. 

I looked at him. I bowed and  and said, "Pleased to meet you.. My name is Koha.."

"I know" he interrupted..

Grr... Can't he just wait for me to finish?? He's sooooooo irritating!!!!...Hmpff...!

My eagerness to punch him hard in the face and tension going on between us cooled down when Yamada-san spoke..

"So he's the part that you'll report, And... I think that's enough.. I know all of you can do well..Yabu-kun.. take care of her.. she's new here so guide her...I'm leaving the rest to you.."he said...

"Do I really have to??" Yabu-san said..

The heat rises in my head and I can feel my face getting red coz' of anger,,,Is that a proper way to welcome someone??

I breathed in... and out... in and out....in...out..

I calmed down a little and forced a little smile to Yamada-san...

"Yes you do..Yabu-kun...I'm leaving her to you.."He said...

Yamada-san returned to his seat...The same with Yabu-san..even though we didn't even talked about the research.. she returned freely to his seat, adding another cup of annoyance  inside me..

I didn't talk to him until it's time to go home..

On my way home..I saw him.. I saw Mr. Annoying..

And then suddenly I thought of my family...I didn't come here just to enjoy myself...I came here to study hard and be successful..And I will never let someone like him be a hindrance to my dreams..

"Hey.."I said..

He didn't look back.

"Hey!!! Yabu-san!!.."I shouted...

He turned and saw me but he just continued walking...

I ran fast and tried to chase him...when I was catching up with him... I held his arm... and stopped him ...I was so tired of running and I was breathing heavily...

"Stop..and listen to me.."I said..

He stopped...

"I didn't come here just to chase someone who don't want to cooperate with his pair..I came here for my family...I came here to study hard and I would not let someone like you make my grades drop...Understand??" I said..still breathing heavily..

"Whatever.." He said..

He continued walking...I followed him..

"I will never leave your side until you agrees to make our research.." I said ..

He's not paying attention..

"I will go wherever you will go until you agrees to make our research.."

He's still not paying attention...

"I will not go home until we're done with our research!"

He looked at me and said....

"Are you really planning to follow me until I go home??"

"Yes.." I replied..

I looked at him and put on my beautiful eyes and make a "Please let's just make our research and go home" face...

"Fine!!!But don't you ever speak again until we arrived at my house...Understand??" He said..

"Hai.." I answered quickly...

My     "Please let's just make our research and go home"     face worked!!!! but he sounded angry so... I don't think so..

But I convinced him..!!!! *I'm--so--good*

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our way to his house was a complete silence...

I was thinking hardly of what to do that I didn't notice that we're already in his......

"HOUSE??!!!This is your house??home??Are you sure???" I asked...

I was so shocked.. His house is...SOOOOOO BIGGGG>>>>>!!!!!

"Yes, why??"Yabu-san said..

"nothing..Never mind." I said.. Maybe.. he's not the only one living here...that's why it's like this..

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then we entered his house....

"Konban...."I said with a bow but I stopped when he interrupted me..

"To whom are you bowing to?" He asked...

I raised my head and body from my bow and looked around...There's.........

There's...............

There's.....................

There's no one..

As in NO ONE...

He's living alone here..In this lonely apartment..

He dropped his bag in the couch and went to the kitchen...He returned with a tray of cookies and 2 cups of coffee...

"In fairness,,,It's pretty clean.." I said..

"Can we start?? Observing is not what you came here for.." He said..

I'll let that go for this time..

"Shall we start??" He asked..

"hai.." I said..

He opened his laptop and we sit side by side near the table next to the couch..

We were alternating doing the research continuously...without rest..

"Wait a minute... we've been continuously doing these for 3 hours...It's already 8:00 pm..Let's take a break.."

"Okay.." he said..

"I'll just make another 2 cups of coffee for both of us.." he said..

"Okay.. Take your time.." I replied..

I was so tired.. especially my eyes.. my eyes were red of reading..So I rested my head at the arm of the couch and I didn't notice I already slept..

I felt something warm wrapped me and then fell into a very deep sleep...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was waked by someone shaking me saying..

"Hey..wake up.. Koharu-san.. Wake up.. It's already 10 pm!!.." Yabu-san said..

I was so shocked by the time that I immediately wake,,

"Really??!! What about our research?? Oh my.. we're just halfway through it..What're we going to do??" I was panicking..

"It's done,.."He said..

"It's what??" I asked.. 

"It's D-O-N-E... done.." he repeated..

"Really??hmmm... let me see..."

I skimmed on the research paper... and  I can't belive that it's done..

"HOw did you..."

"I did it when you're asleep.. You're sleeping heavily that I didn't bother to disturb you.." He said..

With my instincts... I hugged him.. saying..

"Thank you.. Thank you..Thank you so much,, I promised I'll pay my debt.. Thank you so much.."

And then I remembered that we're not that close so I released him..

"Sorry..." I said..

"It was just..." I continued...

"It's okay.." he said with a cough...

I was so confused then that he was so kind.. and.. thoughtful...I thought he was a Annoying, super boastful guy...But I arrived at the conclusion that he's not..

Maybe he just wants everyone to see him as someone who is strong..Someone who can stand alone..

"It's already late..You have to go back to your dorm.. I'll just you..." he offered..

"No.. It's okay,, I can handle myself.." I said..

"Even though it's dark outside.. then you'll go aong the streets with the possibility to be or kidnapped or whatever??? You really can handle yourself??" He said..

"Ahmmmmm.. I think.. Ahmmm.. maybe not..haha" I said..

We walked together in the streets..I was hugging his arm coz i'm s afraid that someone might pull me from the dark.. so if ever someone pulls me he'll go with me.. Haha.. joke..I was just so scared..

Then we arrived at my dormitory... 

"Thank you.. Oyasuminasai.. Be careful" I said..

"Hai.. Thank you too... I had fun.." He replied and then left..

I was so confused...Yesterday he was so annoying and irritating then a while ago he's kind and thought ful.....What's with the sudden change of attitude??I was also confused at the "I had fun" he said..I didn't know at what part did he had fun when all I did was to do the research and sleep..Where's the fun in that??

He's WEIRD......really weird...
