Class is now in session.

She follows him up to their seats and sits down next to him. Bored, Ayoko starts to hum a random song she remembers.

Dustan looks confused. He was just trying to be nice. He shrugs and goes back to listening 'Blow Me Away', slightly audible to everyone else in the quiet room.

"You know, your cute when your jealous." Ayoko giggles, looking up at Daniel.

He still looks angry, which is basically not smiling. "Well...Thanks I guess..."

"Smile!" Ayoko commanded "Smile a REAL smile or else I will get up right now and go talk to Dustin."

"NO!" His face goes red when he realizes how loud he was. "I mean...don't do that..."
He smiles a smile that is obviously fake.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." she says, disapprovingly "I guess I have to go." She stands up and walks over towards Dustin. She pokes him on the shoulder and asks "Is this seat taken?"

Ace shuffles tiredly in to the classroom, takes a look around, and sits in the seat closest to the door, so long as it's a good distance away from everyone else.

"Mister Toromaki! Enter my classroom with a smile next time! I'm sure you'll find it much more exhilarating!" The teacher says with a spin.

Ace ignores him and begins twirling his pen.

DustAn ((His parents were weird, ok?)) smiles and says, "No, you can sit there."

Daniel looks at them, jealousy making his face red.

"Well, thank Dustan" She says, sitting down "that's a wonderful, REAL smiling you got there"

Daniel starts to get angrier again and says, "Ayoko...come back...You aren't exactly helping my smile..."

Dustan says, "Thanks I guess..." He obvoiusly didn't hear their conversation.

"I'll come back if you give me a smile!" she sang, smiling

He sighs and looks away, getting himself calmed so he can smile. Dustan whispers, "What's his deal?"

"He's just jealous" Ayoko whispers back with a sigh "Don't let that get to you though, he's truly a nice guy."

Dustan thinks. "Well...I could put my arm around you...that would make him jealous." He whispers.

Her smile widens "Do it!" she cheers/whispers, scooting closer to him.

He puts an arm around her and smiles. Always nice to help out. Daniel looks over, at his breaking point. "OH WHAT THE HELL!?" He walks over, fists balled.

Ace sits quietly, trying to bear through all that's going on around him. He slowly taps his pencil in rhythm with his soul to calm himself. "The Days were a clan that mighta lived long But Ben Day’s head got screwed on wrong That boy craved dark Satan’s power So he killed his family in one nasty hour Little Michelle he strangled in the night Then chopped up Debby: a bloody sight Mother Patty he saved for last Blew off her head with a shotgun blast Baby Libby somehow survived But to live through that ain’t much a life" He whispers.

Ayoko stands up and restrains Daniel from hurting Dustan "Calm down, fireboy." She giggles, wrapping her arms around him "It's all fine."

He looks at her, and his expression softens. "You love to see me jealous. Don't you?"

"It shows that you really care." She says, looking up at him.

"Of course I care...you never have to test me on that..."

"I also did that because I thought Dustan is cute and I wanted him to put his arm around me." Ayoko says, jokingly

"Don't joke like that..." and he he kisses her softly
