Park looked at her when she started to tear up. Oh god, he wasn't good with crying. He could barely handle his sister crying. He scratched the back of his head, "Uh... It isn't that I don't like you... It's just..." He sighed, "I have this rule... and it is how I've... always gotten through school," He felt awkward telling her about his rule, he hadn't told anyone else before, "It's... Keep your head down. Don't draw extra attention to yourself and no one really cares... I mean... I don't have many friends because of it... but it keeps me from... you know getting laughed at... punched... or kicked... or bruised in anyway."

He laughed a little at himself and shook his head, "And you... Well, you do the exact opposite of that... And that's okay... cause that's you... And that's... okay."

He ran a hand through his hair. Was he even making any sense. He gave her a weak smile, "Don't give up on us yet... America... can be a good change.... My mom loves it.... Maybe... Uh... You should come over one day.... Talk to her... Her English still isn't that good but she'll have some actual stories about immigrating that aren't, I had troubles in Pre-K because I could say dog in two languages while even one else could only say it in one...."

She frowned at his 'rule' "Your rule... it is siry." she said bluntly "If you do not express your self what is de point?" She said sighing, she saw self expression artistic, who was she to judge others how they dressed just because it was different to how she would dress. "If we were all same, world would be boring" she added softly looking him in the eyes. "But I would rove to talk to your mozer" She said smiling again. She liked Park, now he was actually talking to her rather than blanking her or staring at the back of her head. She stood up "I wiru do my best to stay as long as I can, but if it does not get better, I will go home to Japan" She said softly as she looked down at him and held a hand out to him offering to help him to his feet.

Park laughed when she called his rule silly. He shook his head, "I do express myself... Just not to these people," He smiled when she said that she loved to see his mother. He gave her a smirk and spoke in a joking tone, "Well, who said I want you to see her after you just insulted me and my way of life."

He chuckled and nodded hsi head when she agreed to stay for as long as she could stand the people around them. He guessed it was now his job to make the Americas more enjoyable to her. He looked at her and took her hand when she offered it to help him up. He adjusted his black jacket and grabbed his bag, also black. In fact he wore all black, all the time. The only colour on his person was his green eyes, causing them to stick out more than they already did. He smiled at Misaka, "If you really want to express yourself, we have Drama next... That's the best class to do it in... It also happens to be my worst and least favourite class."

He pulled his bag onto his shoulder and stuffed his hands into his pocket as they walked toward the school. He cared a little less that they were probably going to be seen by people. He smiled, "So, do you want to come to my place... this week? Or next week, if you want to get settled into your new place... or the week after... Or the next month, it doesn't really matter. I just thought I'd warn my mom... You don't have to come if you don't want to though...." He was rambling again. He looked at the ground and laughed a little, "Sorry... I don't normally do this much..."

She giggled and smiled at him as he rambled on. "You are cute Parku-kun" She said blushing slightly. She found him adorable, she had never met a boy like him before, bumbling and stumbling over his words. She loved hearing him talk his voice was wonderful to listen to. "I would rovu to talk to your mum abou her experience wiz rearning everysingu" She smiled at him again, "Would dis week be okay?" She asked smiling.

Misaka linked his arm and pointed dramatically to the school building "To Durama curasu!" she exclaimed as though they were going on an adventure. She giggled at him as he seemed to wince as people turned to look. "Gomen" she said softly to him as she gently kissed his cheek shyly before dragging him off into the school building, having no idea where she is going considering she hasn't taken this class ever before yet.

"Uhhhhh...." Had she just said that? Was he imagining it? No way she just called him cute. All he had done in the miniscule amount of time she had known him was be a major dick or a major idiot. Ah! She was still talking. He just barely caught the end of her comment about loving to talk to his mom about everysingu. God she was adorable. He nodded his head when she asked about coming that week, "It should be fine."

She grabbed his arm then pointing to the school building as if he didn't see it in front of them. Of course, he didn't really, he was far to captivated by her hand on his arm. He flinced slightly when she yelled 'to drama class' and looked around. He people hadn't seen them together before, they had now. He started to look at her when she said 'Gomen' and as he turned his head, he felt lips press against his cheek. He looked at her, "Uhhhh...."

Major idiot. But he couldn't think of anything else to say she started to drag him again and he followed dumbly behind. It wasn't until she took the wrong turn that he realized that she had to clue where she was going. He laughed and grabbed her hand. She was lighter than he had expected. So she kind of collided into his chest. He placed his hand on her back to make sure she didn't go flying back and chuckled, "Gomen..." He said with a horrid accent. Surely, she couldn't blame him, he was Korean, not Japanese. She should applaud the fact that he kind of knew what it meant. His mind went blank as he stared down at her, "Uhhh... Oh," He cleared his throat as he released her, "The theatre is down this hall," He pointed with his thumb and smiled awkwardly, putting his hands back in his pockets.

She smiled happily when he said that it would be okay to go to his house this week. "Yay!" she said grinning happily. She was excited, she felt like she had made a new friend. Even though she didnt like his 'rule' she definitely liked him. She thought he was a bumbling adorable ball of Korean.

She smiled happily as people turned to stare and snicker, she didn't care anymore, she was who she was and if people didn't like it they could go stick it somewhere the sun doesn't shine. She giggled at him as he didn't know what to say to her cheek kiss.

She blushed as she fell into his chest looking up at him her face was only centimetres from his. She giggled at his bad Japanese accent and smiled at him fondly. "Weru done" she said giving him praise for knowing what it meant. She looked a little disappointed when he released her but she smiled quickly to cover it. She blushed when she realised she was going the wrong way to class. She linked his arm once again and walked with him to drama class. This time in the right direction.

Park smiled when she said 'Weru done', he didn't know why the broken English just made everything she said just that much cuter. He was glad, maybe too glad, when she took his arm again and started to pull him in the right direction of the theatre. The door was pretty obvious. Due to the size and plaque above that read, 'Haywood Academy Theatre'. They walked in as the school bell rang, meaning most of their classmates were already there or walking in behind them. He caught Sanders eye, the kid was staring at them wide eyed and mouth dropped. He pointed at the seat next to him and mouthed, 'You. Here. Now.'. Park chuckled a little bit. He knew that he wanted him to talk about how the heck he ended up walking into glass with Misaka wrapped around his arm. It was a bit out of character for him after all. He then spotted Ryan and looked down at Misaka, "Sorry... My friend wants to talk to me... Ryan is sitting in the front row..... Uhhh.... I'll see you when class starts up...."

He scratched the back of his head then walked away from him before running up the steps to Sanders. He punched his shoulder the minute Park sat down, "What the hell happened?"

Park shrugged, "Saw Abigail's friends getting pissy at her because she didn't really know English and it annoyed me because we immigrated here too.... So I went and sat with her at lunch...."

Although he spoke to Sanders, his eyes remained on Misaka. He felt stupid. That kiss on the cheek was probably some custom in Japan like in Europe that he didn't know about... It probably meant nothing to her and yet.... He really wanted it to mean something....

Misaka smile, nodding she let go of his arm so he could go off to his friend "See you rater" she said softly as she walked over to Ryan. She sat next to Ryan and he grinned to her "Where did you go running off to? I tried to find you but I lost you in the dinner crowd" He said sadly. Misaka smiled and looked around and up at Park and caught him looking at her. She blushed and smiled looking back at Ryan. "I jus went somewhere quiet, I wanted to be arone for a whiru, I sink I made a new friend" She smiled happily mainly to herself than to Ryan.

Ryan saw her look at Park and blush. He frowned slightly, he didn't quite like that she blushed looking at him. Ryan was going to try harder to win Misaka over. Misaka looked at Ryan confused, his face wasn't his usual smiley happy face, it was angry? Determined? She shrugged it off and looked around the theatre for the first time. She love drama, at her old school she took drama after school classes. Though before it was her native language, how she'd fair in English, she didn't know yet. Though she was excited to start.

The teacher walked in, female this time. Misaka smiled excitedly, she hoped they would be doing something interesting for the first lesson.

Sanders laughed at him, "Well aren't you just a regular Prince Charming."

Park rolled his eyes at him. When he looked back at Misaka, she was looking at him. He smiled softly at her and gave a small wave before she turned back around. He noticed that her cheeks were slightly red and smirked. Maybe the kiss had meant something. He noticed movement beside her and saw Ryan looking at him. Uh oh. He didn't like the look on the kids face. He had seen guys look at him before, normally when he was talking to their girlfriends. There was no way that he and Misaka were already going out, which meant that he had already probably developed a crush on her. Crap.

The teacher came out and drew their attention to her. She had a smile of her face and immediately told them all to get on the stage. Some kids, the drama nerds, ran to the stage, trying to be the first. He on the other had slowly walked there, taking as much time as he could. Sanders whistled at him, "Come here, boy," He said, treating him like a dog.

Park rolled his eyes again and walked over to him. When he got there, he noticed that Sanders was standing next to Misaka in their little circle and was pushing him between them. Sly bastard. Park smiled at Misaka and leant close, whispering, "Fancy meeting you here," He chuckled before straightening and looking into the center of the circle where the teacher stood.

She quickly jumped at the chance to participate and dragged Ryan along with her to the circle. She noticed Parks friend was stood next to her and she gave him a friendly smile. She looked around at everyone then jumped a little when she heard Parks voice. She turned and looked at him and giggled in response "I know, was not expecting it" she giggled at him. Ryan was glaring at Park over Misaka's shoulder. He did not like this boy one bit. He ignored her all morning and now they are friends when Ryan has been nothing but nice the whole time. Misaka looked at Ryan and smiled and nudged him to pay attention to the teacher, he smiled at her before doing so.

Misaka faced the tutor and listened intently. She couldn't wait to get started. She stood there holding her hands behind her back as she stood up straight. This was what they had to do at her old school if they were to stand so it was a habit. She noticed lots of others just standing with arms folded but she was comfortable like this.

Park looked at the teacher as she introduced herself, "Hello class, I am Ms. Carroll," She moved back and joined into the circle causing the students to move and make room to accommodate her, "I do not know your names and I'm sure you are seeing a few faces that you don't know either. So, today is going to be about getting to know each other. We'll start with a couple name games, then I will send you off with a partner I choose and you will do a small activity before the end of class. So... Let's begin."

They played her games, shouting their names, throwing balls, and down right absurd things to make this class be worth credits. When they finished with her games, she grabbed her clip board which had their list of names. She went down the list alphabetically pairing people with the name below or above their own. Finally, she got to Morello which was followed by Nanaho. Park smirked, trying not to look too overjoyed about it. He looked at her and nodded, then back to the teacher as she continued down the list. When she finished, she grabbed a stack of paper, "Alright, send one person up to get the script."

Park walked up without even asking, grabbed the single piece of paper and walked back to Misaka. Ms. Carroll smiled, "Alright, go find yourselves a spot to work."

Park looked at Misaka, "I know a place."

He walked up into the audience until they sat in the upmost right corner. He leaned partially between the backrest and wall. He looked down at the script, which wasn't much of a script, "For your first assignment," He read, "Say only the words yes and no with different inclinations and tones and have a conversation."

Park shook his head a little and looked at her, "Yes?"

Misaka watched as Park went off to get the paper without asking or being told. She smiled as he walked back and followed Park up the stairs and sat next to him. She listened to him reel the task off and looked confused. "Yes....?" She didn't quite understand what she had to do. She also didn't understand what an 'inclination' was, she had never heard that English word before. "I do not understand" She said blushing and looking down embarrassed.

Ryan made his way up the stairs with his partner and they sat not too far away, Ryan wanted to hear what they were saying. He didn't want Park flirting with the girl he wanted. He kept glancing up at Park, glaring. Misaka was oblivious to him and his actions as she was too embarrassed at herself for not understanding the task set.

"I am sorry you had to be wiz me." Misaka mumbled feeling guilty that Park had to explain now what they had to do rather than just getting on with the task. She hated holding people back.

Park laughed a little when she apologized that he was stuck with her. He shook his head, "I don't mind explaining... I told you before my mom didn't speak much English, so I've gotten used to it."

He smiled and looked at the paper, "Inclination... It's like.... Well, it is a slope or a slant," He moved his arm to demonstrate slope and slant, "In this case, it means to do it with your voice. Uhh... Yes," He rose his voice slightly, getting higher, at the end of the phrase, "Or... Yes," He did the same but went down, "Basically it is just how we get feelings across in our words... So, this is about getting feelings and emotions across with only two words. Talking and reacting to how we say yes or no. ....Yes?"

Misaka smiled thankfully at Park. He understood her probably more than anyone else in the entire school.

She giggled at his explanation and nodded understanding "I sink I understand, Yes!" She exclaimed happily after the penny finally dropped in her mind. "Katamuki is Japanese word for incrination." She said smiling. "So, what do we talk abou?" She asked biting her bottom lip, she was a good talker but she struggled about what to talk about with someone who didn't speak her language or she didn't know much of theirs. She fidgeted a little in her seat. She found the seats a little uncomfortable.

Park smiled at her when she practically yelled yes and explained to him the translation. He grinned, glad that he managed to help without getting frustrated... That had happened a few times with his mom and he could talk to his mom in her original language. When she started to bite her lip, Park died a little. He hadn't really looked at her lips much, because he was trying to be a respectable gentleman. However, seeing her bite her lip as she did, it became harder to be respectable as thoughts started to swirl.

Ignoring them as best he could, both the thoughts and her lips, he shrugged, "That's the beauty of this assignment I guess... You don't really have to talk about anything you just have to react to how it is said," He looked down at her fidgeting hand and placed his on top of it, "No?"

They continued on like that. Speaking nonsense and sharing secrets, only using two words. So maybe he hadn't heard her actual deepest darkest secret but he pretended as though he had. His hand held her own the entire class. She didn't move it away at all and like Hell Park was going to. When the bell rang Ms. Carroll dismissed them. Park stood and dropped her hand. He smiled at her, "That was... fun..."

Ryan was glaring at Park through the entire lesson. When he saw him hold Misakas hand he wanted to scream. When he saw Misaka blush from it he just wanted to punch Park in his stupid green eyed face.

Misaka blushed a little as his hand went onto hers. She didn't move it though, she enjoyed his touch. She couldn't look away from his eyes during the whole conversation. They were gorgeous, it was rare to see an Asian without brown eyes. When the bell rung and he let go of her hand she looked a little disappointed but she tried to cover it up quickly with a smile as he spoke. She nodded "It was" She said with a little giggle as she stood.

"What curassu do we have nexu?" She asked as she tried to find her lesson rota but couldn't find it amongst all her books. It had probably gotten lost in a book somewhere. She looked at park hoping he had his easily available.

Park grabbed his bag and swung it over one shoulder when Misaka asked what class it was that they would have next. He reached into his pocket for his timetable and pulled it out. As he did, his hanging hand brushed against her's. Without looking, asking, or really thinking. His fingers reached out and wrapped around her own. He wasn't sure why he was acting the way he was. Had it been any other girl who he may or may not have liked, he would have remained silent. he would have watched from a distance and he surely wouldn't have take her hand twice in the last hour. Then again, Misaka wasn't just any other girl. Maybe, he was just expressing himself to her. Letting her know that maybe he didn't want to be just friends. He didn't acknowledge the fact that he was holding her hand but held it loosely, allowing her to pull away from him if she wished. He examined the time table, "Study block..."

He looked at her and smiled, "We go to the library and mainly just work on whatever homework we have from other classes. Gives us extra time."

He stepped around her and started to pull her by her hand, "Come along now. To the library!" He hadn't said it as loud as she had nor as dramatic but he exclaimed it in a similar fashion. His ear reddened slightly and he looked over his shoulder at her and gave her a small smile.

Misaka blushed as he just grabbed her hand out of nowhere. Though she didn't pull away, instead she held onto his hand tighter. She smiled as he replied to her question. "Study burocku" She said nodding. She laughed when he exclaimed just as she had done earlier. She happily followed as she was pulled along.

Once they got to the library she pulled him so he stopped walking. She walked in front of him and and kissed his cheek, closer to his mouth unlike last time. She smiled up at him cutely as she bit her bottom lip again shyly. "I sink you are very hansom" She giggled and blushed a little at her confession.

Still holding Parks hand Misaka lead him into the silence of the library. She lead him over to a table and took a seat. She got her math homework out and started it. She smiled at Park once again as she took out her Hello Kitty pen. She was really beginning to enjoy this boys company.

Park smiled happily as they walked to the library together. He felt Misaka even squeeze his fingers a little. He felt like he was taking advantage of her slightly. She was new and alone and sure, he wasn't the first person she met but he was surely flirting with her, even if it was in subtle tones. He had already invited her to his house and thought of less than appropriate things for a male to think about a female. Such as how she looked under her baggy sweater. God, he was horrible.

He stopped when he felt her pull on his hand just outside the library. He looked down at her as for the second time that day she kissed him, well his cheek. Although, he wouldn't have minded her actually kissing him. God! He needed to stop. He watched as she bit her bottom lip yet again. Stop it! And felt his ears turn red when she called him handsome, "Uhhh," Was all he managed back.

This girl seriously damaged his brain. He followed behind her in the library and sat down next to her. He looked at her as she pulled out her maths book and did the same. He smiled at her Hello Kitty before he stole it from her hand. He tossed her his pen as he examined it. He laughed a little, "I'm going to use this," He informed her before he started to work through his problem with the lovely pink cat covered pen. They couldn't hold hands now... As it made it very difficult to write. So instead, he placed his hand on her knee, just wanting to keep some kind of physical contact between them.

Anyone watching on probably thought that he was some kind of horndog that just wanted to get her in bed. But... To him, Misaka wasn't the kind of girl that he wanted to sleep with.... Well, maybe he wanted to sleep with her but she was the kind of girl that he wanted to fall in love with. The kind of girl that he wanted to act out all of her silly romantic comedy fantasies with.

She giggled as he stole her pen. Misaka picked up Parks boring ordinary pen and looked at him and laughed when he said he was going to use it. She blushed as Park put his hand on her knee. She smiled as she put her hand on top of his as she began work on her Mathematics. She saw Ryan walk in and he came over and sat across from them. He noticed Parks hand on Misakas knee.

"So Park, you taking advantage of the new foreign girl? Misaka has only been here a day and the silent, reserved Park decides to come out and play?" Ryan said snidely to Park. Misaka looked up and frowned slightly at Ryan 'Taking advantage?' She didn't think she was being taken advantage of. Sure she had kissed a boy on the cheek twice and they held hands but it wasn't like he had her behind the school building and was shagging her brains out or forcing her to do sexual favours. Nor had he made any sexual advances on her. Everything had been cute and sweet. "Ryan!" Misaka scolded him. She didn't think Ryan would ever react like this. Let alone to something she was happy with. She was not liking this side or Ryan, not one bit.
