"how did that happen?" Ken questioned.

Yuka lowered his head, his voice became low and soft as he spoke.

"I fell on it" yuka mumbled as he rubbed his wrist while ken looked at the paper and carefully read it.

"I don't care for this project, find a new partner" yuka stated while he watched ken Tak the white constructive.

"you're too much" ken sighed before he got up with the paper , he went to the teacher with a nervous smile.

"Yuka and I are having trouble expressing how we feel, can't we just do something else?" He asked while using his charm and a charming smile.

"I'm sorry Ken , but, you two have to do it or its meaningless" she stated apologetically.

"I can call both of your parents if you want?" She looked  Yuka way as she said that, ken balled his fist in anger, Ken looked at her with bewilderment "no thanks my parents out of town and I'm sure Yuka parents busy as well"ken declined with a skeptical gaze.

he walked back to yuka table and gently placed the piece of paper down with a small sigh.

"that was a low blow, I'm sorry Yuka" he apologized to him in a low whisper. "thank you" Yuka fist unfolded in ease as he calmed himself down.

"Did  he protect me?" Yuka questioned as he took a quick glance at him.

"maybe I can be his friend...It won't hurt to try" he said in his mind as he picked up the paper.

"Should we begin?" Yuka asked while handing Ken the paper filled with questions "oh yeah, let's begin" he said, as he scanned the paper before asking a question.

"question 1...what is it you do outside of school?" He asked while readying another sheet of paper.

"nothing, I sleep" he replied with a bored expression "your life must be boring" he sighed a little before continuing.

" 2nd question. It says what do you want to be when you are older?" Ken looked at yuka with interest.

"dead" Yuka replied with no hesitation, he didn't even look at him.

"why do you feel that way?" He placed the paper down, with a serious expression.

"why not feel this way? We're going to die anyway right? I just want to die sooner rather than later...that's all" he explained bluntly, before he laid his head down on his arm, while he leaned on the desk.

"You know, sometimes I look out my window at night, and just daydream about actually jumping," he whispered to him and softly started snickering at the confession.

The students around them continued bickering, and talking about their own assignments.

Ken took in every word Yuka said, and stared at him in shock. the kids around thrm was shock to see him laugh for the first time, but they had no clue what he was laughing at.

Ken looked like he was on the verge of crying "we're friends okay, so from now on confide in me" he said as he  wiped his eyes, and replaced his smile on his face, while picking the paper back up.

"okay lets continue" he said while getting his emotions back together. Ken read the next question, and like the others Yuka answer seemed dark and depressing, but unlike everyone else he didn't care, he took it as an answer and wrote the essay.

"friend huh?" Yuka mumbled under his breath, after they were instructed to go back to their own seats.

"maybe I was destined, to always feel this pain" he chuckled to his self as he thought of all his heartache.
