(Aika Kinjo POV)

Kazuhiko Hidaka is insane. First he criticizes you, second he compliments you, third he yells at you, and fourth he grabs you and looks into your eyes. What the hell? I was fuming as I speed walked down the hallway. I almost knocked over 3 people, but who cares? After Hidaka's little, "gaze into my eyes all lovey dovey," I tore my arm away from his grip, packed up my violin, gathered my music, and sprinted out of the room. I left him standing alone, to think about it. Aika, you better not be thinking about Hidaka. He's a bastard, and belongs with the bitch, Takahashi. Calm down, you'll be fine as long as your face doesn't turn red. I ran to History class and bumped into whom else?

"Watch where you're going Kinjo! Don't trample over people in the halls, you bitch." Akane yelled.

"I was walking, and you were simply in the way. What else could I have done? Made a U turn?" I replied calmly.

"Don't talk back to me. In this school, I say something, and you accept it, no talking back. If you keep these rules inside your head, you'll fit in nicely with the rest of losers." Akane smirked.

"You make the rules now? What's the worst you can do? Tattle on Daddy Takahashi? Other people may be afraid of you, but I'm not." I replied my anger rising.

"You little…How about we compromise? I'll give you money, and you stop embarrassing me in front of the entire student body? Is that a deal?" Akane asked while biting her lip and clenching her right fist.

"No thanks Takahashi; I don't need your damn money to bribe me. We actually need someone in this school to shut you down, once and for good so you stop tormenting other students. I know your daddy won't believe a word I say, since his "little angel" doesn't do anything at all, but if I have the rest of the school to back me up, then it's a whole other story. Your daddy will see that his little princess isn't the angel he though she was, he'll find out, one way or another." I replied casually while leaving. I could sense Akane fuming in the same spot I left her. Serves that little bitch right. I walked into class as usual and took my seat. Reika Imai glared at me from the back row. I didn't know why Reika gave me the hate glare so much now. I haven't told a soul about what I had heard in the washroom. I could tell that it wasn't the washroom incident that was bothering her though…

(Reika Imai POV)

Reika stop fuming and look normal. Don't glare at Kinjo. She'll sense your angry vibes. You should stop being jealous of her, and try to become friends with her. She's just going to piss you off even more if you don't. That Kinjo girl has Jin's heart. She does. I know it. The way Jin looks at her you can tell. Why her? Why couldn't it have been me? Maybe it's because we've been childhood friends and he doesn't see anything in me.

"Reika Imai, I need you to read paragraph 2 now." Sensei said looking annoyed.

"I'm sorry, what page?" I asked my face red with embarrassment.

"Page 45! Imai-san, this is the 3rd time this week? What is going on? I need you to focus in class more! If this continues your parents will be contacted. This is the Tokyo Academy of the Musical Arts. Come see me after class please." Sensei said looking angry.

After the long talk with sensei, she told me that if I needed to talk with a counsellor, she would arrange one for me. I told her sure, and then she left alone. I wandered down the hallway since classes were over for the day, and the curfew wasn't until 5:30, so I had a lot of time. I was going to find Jin, but I saw him walking Aika to the dorms already. I blinked back some tears, and suck in my breath and ran right into someone.

"Kazuhiko-kun, I'm sorry!" I apologized quickly. Kazuhiko didn't look like he was too happy today.

"Yea, its fine." Hidaka said not even glancing at me. I quickly gathered my belongings that were splattered out across the floor.

"Jin's getting pretty close to that Kinjo girl right?" Kazuhiko asked all of a sudden.

"Yea…"I answered feeling my anger rising.

"Do you know Kinjo very well?" he asked again.

"No, why would I?" I replied feeling pissed off. "Why so many questions about Aika Kinjo?" I continued.

"No reason. She just seems really…different." He said looking off into space.

"Oh God, not you too? She has every guy under her 'I'm mysterious and beautiful, so you should like me' spell. I know you're better than that, Hidaka." I said.

"Well, maybe she does have me in awe. She just seems…different from the norm. The way she enters a room and can light it up even though she doesn't say anything. It's just her presence that makes me think like, 'I'm going to be alright after all.' I don't know how she does it, but maybe I am starting to fall for her…" Kazuhiko said while looking out the window.

"Those are some touching words Kazuhiko-kun. If the person I liked said that about me…" I began.

Kazuhiko turned around and faced me.

"Let me guess, its Jin isn't it?" He asked.

"I…yes. How'd you know?" I was bewildered.

"It's kind of obvious. All the girls fall for Jin because of his sunny and bright personality. He can light up a room, the same way Aika does, but then again, it is different at the same time. I don't know how to describe it. Maybe it's because Jin and I have been best friends since forever, and every single time it had the same outcome. Jin would always get the girl that I would have small feelings towards. Jin always got her heart, and somehow it tore me apart every time. I…I'm sorry I'm just dumping this load of crap on you." He said looking away.

"It's fine. Maybe…I should stop hating Aika and get to know her. Things can change, I guess." I replied.

"Maybe…" Kazuhiko finally whispered as he walked away.

(Aika Kinjo)

It was 5:00 and I still needed to go to the music room to get my folder. Curfew was at 5:30 so I only had half an hour to do it. The problem was getting from the first floor to the 8th floor took awhile. If had noticed my folder was missing earlier; I wouldn't have gone to the dorms. I left my phone in my room as well. I sprinted into the Academic Building and pressed the button for the elevator. When it did come, I was standing and facing directly at Kazuhiko Hidaka. I walked into the elevator and the doors closed. Kazuhiko remained silent and shuffled his feet uncomfortably.

"So…What are you still doing in the Academic Building?" Kazuhiko asked.

"I'm getting my music folder." I replied quickly. He punched in the number 8 and up the elevator went. But before we got to the 4th floor, the elevator's lights went off and the elevator gave a huge shook. I felt myself fall, right into Hidaka. His arms caught me and I found myself being held firmly in his arms.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I said as I pulled myself back up. I tried to walk over to the other side of the elevator. My ankle had been apparently twisted. I probably rolled over it when I fell.

"Did you twist your ankle?" He asked.

"Apparently. Shit, this is not my day." I complained. A loud beeping noise scared the shit out of me.

"What the hell?" Kazuhiko said in the dark.

"Is the elevator broken?" I asked, panicking.

"Probably is. Um…I think there's and emergency button here somewhere..." He replied while whipping out phone to see if he could call someone. "Damn! No reception!" He yelled in frustration. With the dim light of the phone, he found the emergency button and pressed it. The phone in the elevator rang and he picked it up.

"Hello?" Kazuhiko said to the receiver.

"There's an emergency in elevator 3? I'll call repair services and see if they can come quick. How many people are in the elevator?" I teachers voice said.

"2, and she happens to be injured." Kazuhiko replied.

"Hold on, is it a serious injury?" the voice said again.

"Not really, she just twisted her ankle." He replied seeming pissed off. "Can we at least get some light in here? There should be emergency lights." He asked while looking at the ceiling.

"Yes there are, let me turn them on. Stay put, and help should be coming in awhile." The voice replied. The lights flickered on and I sighed in relief. Kazuhiko's sea blue eyes sparkled in the light.

"I know you probably hate me after all the things I've said to you." He said suddenly.

"I don't hate you. I just dislike you." I replied smiling a bit. "There's a difference." I continued.

"Well, I'm sorry." He said quickly.

"Have you never said those words to someone before?" I asked in curiosity. The way Kazuhiko said that was like an infant saying their first word. Not in the same sense, but like it was a hard thing for them to say.

"I haven't apologized to anyone before, well not like that at least. I guess there's a first for everything." He replied looking away.

"We'll you're a different person, Hidaka. I've never met anyone like you before." I said quietly.

"I haven't met anyone like you before either. I've heard about your parents… My parents used to talk about the Great Kinjo's. When your parents died, they were heartbroken. I guess it was because they admired your parents so much. Really, you're different from the rest of the girls I've met. You don't really talk much, but when you do, it leaves a person really thinking about it." Kazuhiko said glancing at my way.

"Thanks…I've never had someone compliment me, well like that." I said while blushing.

"As I said, there's always a first for everything…" He said quietly. While he said this, he walked closer to me, and pushed me against the wall of the elevator. I was startled, and he looked right into my eyes. His blue eyes shone. I was lost in them.

"I don't know how to describe this feeling, but I think I'm in love with you." Kazuhiko said quietly. As he said this, his lips pressed against mine. Kazuhiko Hidaka is kissing me.
