After The Years || KILLUA ZOLDYCK ✔

Chapter 27

Gon's POV

I thought Kurapika would give me a high score in our first semester since I was his "best buddy". BUT NO. He's not going easy on me this time.

Just imagine him dressed in a devil suit with a whip in his hand. Oh and add the evil grin on his girlish face.

The perfect song for this scenario?

I WILL RUN AWAAAAY, I WILL RUN AWAAAAAY, YEEEEAAAAHH.

"Gon, how many times do I have to tell you should bring any kinds of tools for measurement! You always forget them every SINGLE time!" yelled Kurapika.

I scratched my nape, looking down on my lap. "Gomene, Kurapika—"

He slammed his teaching stick on my table, making me gasp in surprise. "You call me SENSEI when we're having classes, Mr, Freeces."

"G..Gomene..." I whispered in apology and he turned away, resuming his hell of a class.

As I sulked on my table, Rikka and I made eye contact suddenly. Her cheeks flushed pink and so did mine. She pointed to her pencil case and mouthed the words 'Do you want me to lend you a ruler?'

I shook my head in response, mouthing back, 'No thanks. Sensei might notice and involve you with his bad mood. He might scold you for helping me.'

She glared at me, 'No. I will lend you my ruler. I still have extra.'

'Seriously, Rikka. It's okay.'

We continued having this silent conversation which was great. As everyone said when they are in love, "They have butterflies in their stomachs."

Because she persuaded, Rikka purposely dropped her ruler on the floor underneath my table to look like I dropped 'my' ruler.

Sensei looked around, "What was that?"

She threw me a look and faced the front calmly as if nothing happened at all.

I answered Sensei's question, "Oh nothing. I forgot I tucked in a ruler at the deepest part of my bag." I forced a proud smile at him and Kurapika just smirked.

Maybe he knew...

Smiling to myself, I began using the ruler on my blank sheet of paper and tried catching up to my classmates who started earlier than me. Good thing, during summer Aunt Mito trained me to study hard this semester. Of course, I should do that until I go to college. I won't have my ears smoke again EVER.

The bell rang at twelve noon—lunch time.

I put all the math related stuff into my bag and brought out the books for the next subject. I didn't notice Rikka was standing in front of my table.

Her hands were rested on her waist, "I told you it would work out if I let you borrow my ruler." She stuck out her tongue at me as she ran out of the door shouting, "The three of us are waiting at the canteen okay?! HURRY UP, SLOWPOKE!" Rikka's laughter echoed at the hallway.

Without noticing, I chuckled playfully. I was liking Rikka even more.

Killua's POV

Blast it!

I can't believe Gon and Rikka are classmates this year! I'm so jealous of him! Ugggh! Why should destiny be this cruel to a poor boy like me?!

Literature Class just ended and the bell just rang at the exact timing. My stomach was begging for some delicious food.

"Killua-san," That familiar voice chimed in my ears.

Looking up to see the blonde, I put on a bored look, "Yeah?"

"I'll be meeting Rikka at the canteen. Maybe Gon is with her too. Wanna eat together for lunch?" She invited, her hands carrying a pink-covered bento.

I glanced down on my table, "Nah, maybe I'll pass." I stood up and made my way for the door. Retz called me again.

"Killua-san."

I stopped on my heels, "Yeah?"

"Gon is making a move on Rikka. Are you gonna leave it just like that?" asked Retz. Her sky blue eyes were serious. Why was she telling me this?

Swinging my bag over my head, I walked on saying, "It's none of my business..."

Damn! Why did I say that?!?!

I was now walking straight at the hallway when I heard running footsteps behind me. I knew it was Retz. What was she gonna ask again? Is she trying to piss me off with her rants?

"Killua-san!" She yelled.

I'm not going to turn around. Keep walking, Killua. Keep walking.

I caught a glimpse of Rikka's face as she turned at the corner. She was also about to look at me when Retz's face blocked my view. The next thing I knew,

Retz kissed me....
