Chapter 3

Mika pov

In class when Ian asked me that I was caught a little off guard and I tried so hard not to blush while I answered honestly. Ian was kinda cute and I wanted to keep my options open. I am fairly certain Luciase and his friend from my homeroom were overestimating my need to be protected. I may be the only neko at this school as far as I could tell, but that didn't mean I was inable to defend myself. I had a set introduction that I repeated every class so as not to confuse people, but I dabble outside of dance. After Luciase defended me so fiercely though, I blushed and got nervous retreating inward. Damn why! I grabbed his hand a little too aggressively maybe, but it got the job done of relaxing me enough to function normally by the time we would leave class.

At lunch we sat together with another girl named Daisy and she kept looking from me to her friend, whose name I think was Ren, to Luciase, to me. I almost hissed and glared at her. I knew there was some clear tension between us but she didn't need to make it worse.

After lunch I finally had a class without Luciase. He was decent company and I would be fine with our friendship, but I always like to diversify. I found Rustin from homeroom, who had specifically asked whether I had this class with him. I sat next to him in the unoccupied chair greeting him.

"Rustin-san~ do you mind if I sit with you?"

He smiled invitingly and I took that as a yes. He was looking at me like he was analyzing me and I stiffened a bit, tipping him off that I had noticed. He looked away grinning suspiciously. What was he planning? I had taken two AP science classes, chem and bio because I liked science and math especially when it offered a challenge. I had a period slot open for it so why not? I have heard a few things bouncing around after I told my many new kid worshippers about this biology class. Apparently, the teacher wasn't careful enough in a science class full of AP students because we weren't really being  taught. I know it's not too far-fetched to guess kids in an AP bio class are interested in science, but giving us this much independence and free reign probably wouldn't result in many passing grades.

"Mika do you know why people want this teacher's classes?"

"Because you don't get regulated work?"

He laughed quietly even though the rest of the class was being too loud to care.

"No, it's because Mr. Levolski lets any kids in his clases use the classroom at anytime he isn't, including anything inside. I have done a few ah...um...experiments in here after hours that I will never admit to if you try to rat me out."

That was interesting to me. A classroom that nobody really questioned if it was unsupervised or was in before or after school. A free stocked lab I could use almost anytime or even just a room sounded very appealing. I am a bit of a chenistry nerd. I love making the compounds myself, tweaking them to have the aspects compliment and sharpen each other.

"Don't worry Rustin-kun~ I won't tattle on yooouuu~"

I was just probing a little so I was surprised when he blushed a little, dusting his cheeks and growled. I leaned into him experimentally nuzzling into his shoulder. He was really warming up now!

"Does he fail people who don't do anything productive during the actual class?"

He tried to play off the remaining blush on his face and sniggered.

"Ha, no he believes in pass/fail and he only fails people who actively bug him without a good reason."

"Oh"  

I yawned and mewled quietly went to  lie down into Rustin's lap. He shifted uncomfortably, but began petting my ears. I wasn't ready! I started purring and my eyes rolled up with my eyelids starting to slide shut. I wasn't going to lose, so I kept purring and nuzzling his leg getting threateningly close to his, you know. His face took on a more urgent than competive look now. Victory is mine! I could tell what he was considering, but he knew I had the upper hand with my charm, cuteness, and face next to his crotch.

"Fine, truce Mika"

I whispered back my agreement. I think I was so content that I actually fell asleep on his lap.

I woke up to the classroom's harsh lights and Rustin telling me to leave my comfy spot.

"Come on Mika I have soccer practice."

I whined a little more, cleaving to his limb, but I let him go for now since I needed to get home anyway.

"Nya!"

I blushed bright red. That bastard had pulled my tail and ran. I left in a huff and started off to my apartment. I wonder what Mikai wants for dinner? If she didn't call I was buying food to make stir fry. Mmm~ Thai food~ I left the supermarket without a single call, leaving me free to cook what I wanted.

I got home to my sister on the couch reading a book. She looked up at me and smiled.

"Hey Mika what's for dinner?"

"Thai stir fry noodles. Whatcha readin' Mikai?"

"Reading 'To Kill a Bluejay' for class."

"Isn't the famous classic 'To Kill a Mockingbird' the book usually assigned to be read in American Literatature classes?"

"Yeah, you are probably right, my teacher is just crazy. This thing doesn't scream 'classic literature' or even 'talented author' rip. That's how my first day was, how was yours?"

I thought to myself about everything that has happened today. A friend, a friend of a friend, a free after hours chem lab, and a possible sex buddy. I could be getting ahead of myself, but I'm sure he was a least attracted to me.

"I think I'm going to like it here~!"
