Here we go again

Time passed and Ken came back. He suddenly popped up like a stray cat at the window behind them. He was sweating as he smiled and just by looking at him, Kira could already tell that he failed to catch the squirrel.

Even Ken failed? Seriously?!

"Haha, I'm sorry Kira. I underestimated her. She was too fast. I mean, she's the fastest high school girl I've ever seen in my life! She's really amazing!" Ken was speaking with stars in his eyes. He looked obviously awed by the girl's skill and he seemed so thrilled.

"Tch! That cheetah!" Kira's expression was really bad. His usual calm and carefree mood was nowhere to be seen. He couldn't believe that she ditched him again, twice in a row now, no, this was the third time she ran away from him like this.

"Wow, what an interesting girl." Shun spoke as he went and held Kira's shoulder. "Kira, I never thought that you'd be having a hard time over a girl. Just say if you need help. I'd be glad to help you-"

"Don't even think about it. That girl is mine." All of a sudden, those words left Kira's mouth as he glared at Shun. Kira then removed Shun's hand and walked away with a dark expression, leaving Shun and the others stupefied.

"W-w-what?! Kira… is Kira really serious about her?!!" Ken stammered in disbelief as he looked at Rei. They all knew that no matter how many girls Kira had dated, he was never really into anyone. So this was really a surprise to them.

"So he really is smitten hard, huh. How interesting. I'm even more curious about that girl, now." Shun said and the quiet Rei finally spoke.

"Captain, I advise you not be more curious than this because there's a saying; 'curiosity kills the cat'. Hehe." As those words left Rei's mouth, he was already walking away with a mischievous grin on his face while Ken immediately ran after him.

Hearing him, Shun could only raise a brow. "Yeah, yeah. You don't even need to warn me like that. There's no way I could even go against that guy."

…

The next day…

Kira was again in a bad mood. It was because he came early to school for the first time just to find out the Squirrel hadn't even arrived yet. What was worse was that she was actually late again.

The bell had already rung when she arrived and upon seeing her, Kira couldn't calm himself down. He remembered how she ditched him yesterday and his vein popped. She didn't even glance at him as she hastily entered.

Just as she sat, Kira suddenly kicked her chair from behind. He was sitting with his elbow on the desk, resting his chin on it, as his long leg crept out from under his desk and hit the bottom of her seat as she sat down. His timing was perfect.

What he did jolted her and she slowly turned to him. Kira smiled at her the moment their eyes met but as expected, there was no change in her expression. She simply stared at him for a while, before she suddenly stood.

"Ma'am, someone is bullying me." She suddenly reported and everyone looked at her. The teacher's brows knotted as she spoke.

"Who?" she asked and when Zeri pointed a finger at Kira, everyone laughed as they started murmuring.

At that moment, the teacher silenced the class but suddenly asked Zeri to follow her outside.

After a long while, Zeri came back and she stood before Kira. She was staring at him again as if she had something she wanted to say.

Kira, on the other hand simply sat there, waiting for her, looking like the definition of patience itself. However, time went by and the girl remained there just looking at him. They were in a staring contest again and Kira's patient facade broke down. Tch! Here we go again. Why do you keep doing this? Can't you just go ahead and speak!

"What. Do you have something to say?" he asked with a smile but to his surprise, the girl suddenly turned her back to him. Squirrel, are you really trying to piss me off!!!

Kira bit his lip hard as he stared at the girl's back in disbelief. He wanted to grab her hand and make her turn to him again.

But the girl didn't walk away and even turned her back to him again.

And then, she quietly stared at him once more. What the hell's wrong with this girl?!!

Feeling really pissed off with the squirrel's actions, Kira finally burst. "Just talk already, damn it." he said and finally the girl's lips started to move.

She opened her mouth but before any word could come out of it, she suddenly turned around again and sat back on her chair without looking back, leaving Kira so damn pissed that his mouth turned agape for a while in disbelief.

W-what the hell was that?! Squirel!!!
