“hey lover-boy, why so sad…?” asked Ryosuke as they went near Kei at the café they used to go

“what lover-boy are you saying…? Could you please stop teasing me…? I’m not in the mood…” sneered Kei as he shrugged his shoulders

“woah~ woah~ why are you so hot-headed…?” asked Yuto

“let me guess…it’s about Rein-chan and Yuma-kun right…?” said Kota as he evilly grin at the sad Kei

“haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay~” sighed Kei as he slumped his head at the table

“aha…! So it was really about Rein-chan and Yuma-kun…!” exclaimed Yuto

“you’re jealous at them aren’t you…?” said Kota as he taps Kei’s shoulder

“I don’t know…I can’t calculate my feelings for her…” sighed Kei

“baka…! Why are you calculating your feelings for Rein-chan…? it’s not some kind of a mathematical  equation for you to solve…! You need to feel it…!” exclaimed Ryosuke as he shakes Kei

“hey…! Would you stop shaking me…? I’ll get dizzy…but what shall I do…?” asked Kei who really looked depressed

“tsk..tsk…this guy over here really needs some tips in courting…now listen carefully ok…?” said Kota while scratching his chin as if thinking really hard

“RULE NUMBER 1, LET HER KNOW THAT YOU CARE…”

The next morning, as Rein leaved their house…

“ittekimasu~…!” Rein shouted while going out their gate then she happily walked away until she noticed someone

“book freak…?” she asked as if trying to process who was the guy beside the bushes

“o…ohayo Rein-chan…” said Kei shyly

“what are you doing here…?” asked Rein as she raised an eyebrow

“well, I came here to fetch you…” said Kei as he straighten himself and went beside Rein and get the obento she was holding

“hey…!why are you fetching me and would you please give me back my obento…!” protested Rein while trying to get back her obento

“I fetched you so we could go to school together…” smiled Kei as he grabbed Rein’s hand and happily walked to school

“hey…!yamete book freak…! And who said that I want to go to school with you…?! And would you let go of me…?” protested Rein while trying to release herself from Kei’s grip

“stop complaining Rein-chan…I’m doing this because I care for you…I don’t want you to go to school alone, besides I’m scared that what if something happens to you on your way to school…” said Kei as he went in front of Rein and cupped Rein’s face at his palms

“wha…what are you blabbering about…? And when did you started to care for me…? you’re quite creepy today book freak…didn’t you managed to read a book last night that’s why you’re acting like that…?” laughed Rein

“mou~ stop teasing me Rein-chan and let’s just go to school before we get late…” said Kei

As they arrive at school…

“hey…looks like the lovebirds came to school together…” teased Yuki as they saw Rein and Kei went inside the room together

“did you ate something rotten Rein-chan…?why are you together with Kei-kun today…?does the two of you already reconcile…?” asked Haruka

“or maybe, they are now dating each other…!” exclaimed Satomi as she also clapped in happiness

“urusai…! There is nothing going on between the two of us…! It’s just that this guy over here just came in front of our house and told me to walk school together…” sneered Rein while glaring at the smiling Kei

“eh…?nande Rein-chan…?i think there’s nothing wrong with that since we’re neighbors, I think I shall accompany you at school every morning from now on…” said Kei as he face Rein and smile at her

“tsssssss…stop fooling with me you book freak…! Why do you always like teasing me…?” pouted Rein

“well, let’s just say that I like to see your cute expression whenever you get irritated at me…” winked Kei which didn’t fail to make Rein blush in her seat

“did you just blush Rein-chan…?!!!! kyaaaaaaaaaaah~” squeal Mikan as if her favorite OTP did something sweet to each other

“you do like Kei-kun…don’t deny it…” teased Haruka while elbowing her friend

“tssssss…and what makes you think that I would ever like that guy…?” sneered Rein in cross arms

“don’t be such a denial queen Rein-chan, it’s written all over your face…you do like Kei-kun…” smiled Yuki

“ohayo…!” smiled Yuma

“aaaaaaaaaaaaaah~…! Is that…is that…is that the next volume of Otakuzine(anime magazine)…?!” exclaimed Rein in happiness as she noticed what Yuma was holding and her heart would like jump out of joy

“yeah…haven’t you get your copy yet…?” asked Yuma

“not yet, but I was planning to buy later…would you accompany me later after class…?” asked Rein while her eyes were sparkling just like in animes when the girl is in love

“sure…I’ll go with you later…” smiled Yuma

“hey…! Rein-chan is going home together with me…!” exclaimed Kei as he heard the conversation of the two

“back off book freak…you already forced me to go to school with you now so please don’t force me to go home with you…besides, we’re going on a magazine stand and not in the library where you can find your thick book…” said Rein

“demo—“ before Kei could finish his sentence, Rein was too busy looking at the magazine and ignoring him at all

“tsk..tsk…Yuma-kun one point, Kei-kun zero point…” sighed Yuto while tapping Kei’s shoulder

“RULE NUMBER 2, WHEN YOU’RE TOGETHER, LET HER FEEL THAT YOU LOVE HER…”

“ne Yuki-chan…” said Keito

“nani…?” asked Yuki

“teach me in Math and Physics today…” ordered Keito

“eh…? Nande…?” asked Yuki

“tomorrow we have exams there so I need to study…if only I could just give you my test paper and you’ll be the one who would answer it, then my life would be much easier but that’s an exam so I need to study hard…so you better help me out with this…” said Keito

“fine…”said Yuki, “arrrrrrrggggggh…! This guy…! He got the nerve to order me around…! And he’s thinking on giving me his test paper so I would answer it…?!!!! I wanted to whack his face with my Math and Physics textbook…! My morbid thoughts were being alive again…! Ryuk(a Shinigami from Death Note) where are you…? Give me my Death Note so I could write this guy’s name down on it…!!! Spirit of Light Yagami enter my body onegai…!!!!!!!” thought Yuki as her eyes were looking fiercely at Keito

“what are you looking at…? Start teaching me…” ordered Keito

“hai…follow me at the library…” said Yuki while trying to fake a smile though the veins in her head were most likely popping out due to anger

As they arrived at the library, Yuki started teaching Keito…meanwhile, at the shelf not too far from the table of Yuki and Keito…

“so he is really bossy eh…that guy…! Making my best friend suffer…! Poor Yuki-chan…! I want to slice his head off his body…!” whispered Rein to herself as she was peeking at Yuki and Keito from the shelf

“Rein-chan, why are you talking to yourself…?” asked Kei as he went near Rein

“YOU…!!!” exclaimed Rein as she was surprised to see Kei beside her

“shhhhhh…you shouldn’t shout while we’re at the library…” said Kei

“did they see us…?” asked Rein while trying to take a look at Yuki and Keito

“quick, hide…they’re looking this way…” said Kei as he dragged Rein at the shoulder and the next thing they knew was that Kei was pinning Rein at the shelf and their faces were inches away from each other

“hey…” uttered Rein as she was also shocked at their positions

“why are you peeking at them…?” smirked Kei

“eh…?be…betsuni…” said Rein as she was avoiding eye contact with Kei

“oooooh~are you envious at them…? Because they look so sweet…?” asked Kei then he lifted Rein’s chin up

“urusai…it’s not like that…” said Rein still avoiding eye contact with Kei

“then what is it…?” smirked Kei

“you don’t care about it…” said Rein

“but I do care…I care when it comes to you Rein-chan…” said Kei

“…” Rein couldn’t utter a word since she was surprised on Kei’s behavior

“because I like you…” whispered Kei which send chills on Rein’s spine

Then slowly, Kei move towards Rein…their faces too close from each other…

Three inches away…

Two inches away…

An inch away…

Until…

“what are the two of you doing…?” asked Yuma who was shocked at the scene in front of him – Kei pinning Rein at the shelf and their faces an inch away from each other

“Yuma-kun…!”exclaimed Rein as she pushed Kei away and fixed herself

“I didn’t mean to disturb you but this is a public place…what if a teacher saw you…” said Yuma

“hey…! What you’re thinking is wr—“ before Rein could finish what she was about to say, Kei spoke for her

“right…! What you’re thinking right now is right Nakayama-kun…” smirked Kei while grabbing Rein’s arm and hugging her

“EHHHHH…???!!!” exclaimed Rein

“and you were really such a disturb…” frowned Kei

“oh…gomen…but next time, don’t do it here…” laughed Yuma

“urusai…! What you’re thinking is wrong Yuma-kun…! don’t ever listen to this book freak…! And as for you…! You book freak…! Stop messing and playing games with me…! what a erted guy…!” sneered Rein as she kicked Kei’s knee making him fall on the ground in pain and immediately left that place while dragging Yuma with her

“tsk…tsk…too close…but yeah…she’s right, you really do look ert a while ago…” sighed Ryosuke while tapping Kei’s shoulder

“so those advices came from the three of you…” sighed Satomi while they were talking at the café

“hai…it works on me…” said Kota

“mine also…” added Yuto

“it’s just that this guy here don’t know how to court a girl…” sighed Ryosuke

“tsk..tsk…don’t blame Kei-kun…this was his first time courting a girl so basically, he don’t know what to do…” defended Haruka

“arigatou Haruka-chan…she’s right, this was really my first time in courting so I don’t know what approach shall I do…” pouted Kei

“good thing we’re here…just do what we’re telling you to do…” smirked Mikan

Meanwhile at Rein’s house…

“ne Rein-chan…” asked Yuki

“nande…?” asked Rein while munching her Pocky

“tell me, you really do like Kei-kun right…?” asked Yuki all of a sudden

“EHHHHHHHH…?!” asked Rein as she almost choke upon hearing what her best friend had said

“hey…daijoubu…?” asked Yuki while rubbing Rein’s back

“what are you asking me all of a sudden…?!!! And what makes you think that I like that book freak…?!” exclaimed Rein

“I was just asking…!” exclaimed Yuki

“tsssssss…well, I don’t hate him…demo…I also don’t like him…I don’t know…I’m confused Yuki-chan…” sighed Rein as she lay at her bed

“oooh~ so what is Kei-kun for you…?” asked Yuki

“I don’t know…I see him as an arrogant and a know-it-all guy…demo, when he smiles, it never fails to make me smile also…” said Rein

“that’s it…! So you really do like Kei-kun…!” exclaimed Yuki

“no…no…I also felt the same way towards Yuma-kun and the others…their smiles also send smile on my face…” replied Rein

“eh…?! I thought you’re only feeling that way towards Kei-kun…now I can’t also determine your feelings for that guy…” pouted Yuki

The next day…

“Rein-chan, could you help me put these stuffs at the storage room…?onegai~…” said Yuki

“oh…sure…” smiled Rein

As Rein reached the storage room and putting the stuffs at their proper places, she felt that the door shut and someone locked the door from the outside…

“eh…? Hey…! There’s still someone here…! Please open the door…!” exclaimed Rein while knocking at the door

“someone please open the door…! Yuki-chan…!” exclaimed Rein

“it’s no use even if you exclaim like that…” said Kei while walking towards Rein’s direction

“book freak…? What are you doing here…? Don’t tell me that this was all your plan…?” asked Rein in crossed arms

“it’s not my idea…it was our friends’ idea…” sighed Kei as he sits at the floor

“then help me open this door…! Don’t just sit there you lazy book freak…!” exclaimed Rein

“there’s nothing we can do…the only way to get out of here is by the door but it was locked from the outside…I guess we have to spend a night here…” said Kei calmly as if what’s happening at them was just normal

“why are you saying that calmly…?! Is it ok with you to be locked up in here…?!” asked Rein

“hai…as long as I’m with you then it’s ok…no matter how long they are going to lock us up here I don’t care…as long as I’m with you Rein-chan…” said Kei while lifting his face up and looking at Rein

“what are you saying…?” asked Rein while her heart thumps a bit fast

“you asked me the other day why am I always teasing you right…? Well, first is because I want to see your cute expression as you get irritated at me and the other one is that I like getting your attention…and the only thing that I can think to get your attention is by teasing you…” smiled Kei

Rein blinked twice upon hearing those words from Kei…she was amused seeing her mortal-enemy-number one saying things like that

“why are you so mad at me…?” asked Kei

“I’m not really mad at you…” started Rein as she sits beside Kei

“it’s just that you always sounds so high and as if you knew it all that’s why I’m getting irritated when you’re talking…” laughed Rein while looking at the ceiling

“eh…? Do I really sound that I knew it all…?” asked Kei in wide eyes

“ALWAYS…! But I guess I just get used at our fighting so it turns out to be our daily routine…” said Rein

“but I want to change it…I don’t want it to be our daily routine…” said Kei

“eh…? What is it…?” asked Rein as if she was starting to doze off

“I don’t want to have fights with you anymore…because…because I love you Rein-chan…you’re the only girl who made my heart skip a beat whenever I see you smile…your presence always makes me complete…” confessed Kei

“Rein-chan…?” asked Kei when he felt that Rein was not responding at him only to see the sleeping Rein with her head on his shoulder

“she fell asleep while talking to me…she is really one of a kind…” smiled Kei while fixing Rein’s head on his shoulder

“you know what Rein-chan, you’re too innocent when it comes to love…but that innocence makes you dense about my feelings for you…but I guess that attitude of yours makes me fall in love with you more…” said Kei while kissing Rein’s forehead

The next day…

“erm…” uttered Rein while lifting her head up and saw Kei’s face so close to hers…she saw Kei’s perfect face so closely – Kei’s perfect eyes, perfect nose, fair skin and perfect lips

“eh…?” she uttered upon realizing that she was staring at Kei’s lips for like a minute now

“erm…” uttered Kei while opening his eyes and seeing Rein staring at him

“why are you staring at me…?” asked Kei then Rein pulled herself and sit straight

“eh…?i’m not staring at you…” denied Rein avoiding eye contact with Kei

“yes you are…” teased Kei

“I said I’m not…!” exclaimed Rein now a bit blushing

“then why are you blushing…? Let me guess, you’re thinking of kissing me right…?!” laughed Kei as they both stood up

“URUSAI…! And what makes you think that I want to kiss you…?!” exclaimed Rein

“you’re soooooo kawaii when you’re getting mad at me…” laughed Kei while pinching Rein’s cheeks

“ittai…! Yamete book freak…!” exclaimed Rein

“ book freak…? You keep on calling me …am I really …?” asked Kei then he quickly dragged Rein’s shoulder and pinning her at the wall

“hey…! What are you doing…?!” asked Rein

“betsuni…” smirked Kei while leaning closer at Rein

“yamete…” uttered Rein

Kei was leaning closer and closer at Rein’s face…

Until…

“ohayo…!” exclaimed Satomi and the others as they opened the door

“oooooooops…” they all uttered as they saw the position of Kei and Rein – Kei almost kissing Rein

“YOU GUYS…!!!!! How dare you locked me with this book freak…?!!!” exclaimed Rein as she shoved Kei away and run towards her friends

“yamete Rein-chan…! we just wanted to help…!” exclaimed Satomi

“you didn’t helped at all…!!!” exclaimed Rein as she was about to kill her friends to what they have done

“gomenasai…!” exclaimed Satomi, Mikan, Yuki and Haruka as they run for their lives

“wait til I get you…!” exclaimed Rein as she ran after her friends

“so did you already confessed…?” asked Kota while putting his arm around Kei’s shoulder

“hai…” answered Kei

“hontou ni…?! so did she said yes…?!” asked Yuto in happiness

“she didn’t heard it because she fell asleep…” sighed Kei

“EHHHHHHHHHHHHH…?!!!” asked Kota, Ryosuke and Yuto as they were all surprised to what they’ve heard

“what you heard is right…she fell asleep the time I was confessing on her…” sighed Kei

“tsk…tsk…tough luck Kei-kun…you never did well in confessing at Rein-chan…” sighed Ryosuke

“yeah I know…but I’m not giving up…I really do love her…I will not let anyone to win her heart except for me…” said Kei while looking at Rein from afar
