CHAPTER ONE

As I sweep my bow against the violin strings, I am at peace, lost in the music, taken to another dimension. I close my eyes and let the music take over, this unbelievable sensation spreading throughout my body.

Lee’s POV
(POV = POINT OF VIEW)
I’m walking down the corridor, whistling a familiar tune, when I hear it. This sound, this pure sound, floating out of room 16. The notes have this warm vibrato that could melt ice in an instant, and right now, my heart is turning into liquid.

I peek into the room and spot the fine silhouette of a girl playing the violin by the window. The shadows cover her face, so I can’t exactly make out who she is, and I stare in amazement, each rich note bouncing against the walls and into my ears.

Rin’s POV

I feel someone’s heavy gaze, and from the corner of my eye, I spot a figure standing in the doorway. Abruptly, I stop playing the violin, my bow still lying on the strings, and look up, only to find Lee, that jerk. What is he doing here?!

Lee’s POV
Finally, she glances at me, and it takes me a while to realise who she is: Rin. For once, her hair is down, and her fringe falls over her eyes. She stares blankly at me through her fringe, and I notice she isn’t wearing her glasses. I didn’t know she was pretty…

Rin’s POV
That big dufus is just standing there, and suddenly I am filled with anger and fury. He’s such an @$$hole, why isn’t he saying anything? Usually he’d have called me some exotic offensive nickname by now. Anyway, I’m not going to wait until he does. Glaring at him as hard as I can, I shove my violin back in it’s case, unwind my bow and close the case shut before grabbing my backpack and storming past him. As I do so, he raises his arm slightly but then hesitates and jams his hand back into his pocket. Was he going to hit me?

A rough hand captures the handle of my backpack and I immediately fall to the ground. Lee’s face looms over mine, and I can hear the girls in the corner snicker. I sit up, head butting him in the process. Success! He falls on his bum and rubs his forehead. Grabbing all my gear, I lean forward and poke my tongue at him. Then as I skip away happily, “HEY DOOSCHBAG! NICE UNDIES!” Halting, I slowly rotate my head 180 degrees. HOLY COW! The back of my skirt has tucked into my waist, showing the world my ducky underwear. This is all Lee’s fault. I fix my skirt and hurry up the stairs. My face is burning as I try to ignore the laughter echoing throughout the corridor.

CHAPTER TWO

WHAT. THE. HELL. My eyes widen as I gawk at the disturbing photograph displayed beside the school bulletin. It’s me. No, actually, it’s a close up of my round bum. And my ducky underwear.

“Hey Rin! Did you see–” Su Ling rushes towards me and tries to hide a grin. “I see you've already found one.”

“There’s more?!” Panic spreads throughout my body.

“Yeah, heaps. They’re all over the school,” She says. Then she leans into my ear and whispers, “Even in the toilets!”

I gasp in horror, but then realise who the culprit is. Could it be any more obvious? Suddenly, rage replaces my panic. “Lee did this, didn’t he?!” I turn to Su Ling, whose eyes glaze over when I mention his name. “Ugh, that guy has waaay too much spare time.”

“Oh, but aren’t those luscious, kissable lips sooo tempting? And those muscles! I bet he could do a hundred push-ups with me on his back! Oh, and how about those dreamy eyes of his?! They are GORGEOUS! Absolutely gorgeous…”

I roll my eyes, unpinning the photo from the corkboard and slipping it into my backpack. Su Ling is still babbling on about Lee, and as I walk away, dragging the star-crossed girl to English class, I am thinking: God, I hate that thick-headed moron for life. That thick-headed moron, is Lee.

By the end of the day, I’ve collected only fourteen photos of my lovely ducky-patterned butt. There’s probably heaps more scattered all over the school campus, and when I walk past the school gates, I realise I have survived the day. That is, until I spot Lee. He’s running towards me at the speed of light, and I look around to check if he’s running to someone else. Nope, by the looks of it, he’s heading straight for me, and when he reaches me, I can’t help but connect my fist to his face. He stands there like the dummy he is, bewildered, touching the reddened patch on his annoying face. I show no sympathy and am about to stomp off, when someone tugs me by the hair. Owwww! It’s Lee’s stupid sidekick, Lisa.

“Did you just punch Lee?!” She pulls on my hair harder, and her breath reeks. I scrunch my nose in disgust.

“Yeah, I did. You know why? Because I’m not a superficial suck-up like YOU.” I reply, unafraid.

“You b!tch!” Lisa’s hand collides with my cheek, and she is about to strike me again when I see a hand enclosing her wrist.

“Piss off, Lisa.” I’m sure I’ve heard that voice somewhere. It’s not until Lisa let’s go of my hair and scurries off, that I figure out who the mystery man is. Vincent. “Ouch, that doesn’t look too good,” His warm fingertips rest on my burning cheek, and I feel like it’s already healed. I am hypnotized by his eyes, yet I manage to speak.

“I-I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt. No, not at all. It’s not even stinging. Does it look bad? I wonder–”

“You’re bleeding. Damn, that girl’s got nails,” Vincent shows me the drop of blood on the pad of his index finger. “At least she didn’t break your hand. You wouldn’t be able to play the violin for a month.” He laughs, revealing his set of perfect teeth.

“Oh, yeah, speaking of which…” I rummage through my backpack and pull out a clean white envelope. “It’s an invitation to my concert this weekend. Come, okay?” I place it into his hands and brush past him.

“Of course!” Vincent yells after me, and I smile to myself as I break into a run.

Lee’s POV
I squint at the rectangle of white, sticking out of Vincent’s pocket. He’s heading towards the station. Good. There will be tonnes of people there. Could this be ANY more easier?

Shuffling past him, I snatch the envelope from his pocket.

Looks like I’ll be going to a concert this weekend.

CHAPTER THREE

The audience applauses and I curtsy in my black strapless dress, grasping the neck of my violin with my left hand, my bow, with my right. I scan the hall for Vincent, and that’s when I spot the daggy-looking figure in a black tuxedo at the back, beside the main doors. You’ve got to be kidding me. Our eyes hold each other’s for a moment, before I blink and look away. When the claps and whistling fades away, I believe it is my queue to exit the stage, and soon the tapping of my heels is audible against the hush of my audience. But soon enough, whispers begin to break the silence and I slowly turn my head. The spotlight is on

surprise surprise…

Lee.

I stand in absolute shock as he walks casually down the aisle. He stops an inch away from me, and I want to punch him so bad. Crouching down, he picks up the hair pin that must have fallen out of my hair, and stands back up.

“You dropped this.” He whispers, and I’m about to snatch it out of his hands, but before I can, he clips it back into my hair.

He’s either drunk or completely insane.

For a few seconds, he stares at my lips, then into my eyes, and then walks away, up the aisle and out the door.

I mean seriously, what is with this guy? And where the heck is Vincent?

The next day at school, I gain the courage to march up to Lee. Grabbing him by the collar, I shout, “EXPLAIN. I want a detailed explanation, right NOW.” He unhooks each of my fingers from his collar and smirks. I want to wipe that smirk away but I hold back my punch.

“Explain what exactly? Why you’re such a man?” He laughs and leans in. I’m not afraid.

“Don’t act dumb! You know exactly what I’m talking about! Last night, remember?! You turned up uninvited to my concert. You publicly humiliated me!” I scream, clenching my fists.

“Okay, relax. You don’t need to have a major spasm, jeez. I just happen to be close friends with one of the people organising your concert, alright? He invited me. And I was only doing you a favour, picking up your stupid clip in front of all those people. You should be thankful, you idiotic ingrate.” He replies in an almost monotone voice.

“Thankful?! Do I need to remind you that YOU’RE the one who embarrassed ME?! YOU should be thankful I’m not kicking your sorry @$$ right now!” I spit back at him.

“Then why don't you?” He teases, twisting some strands of my fringe around his finger. I hit his hand away, and take a step back.

“Because, you’re not worth it,” I sprint away, not looking back. I can sense his eyes trailing me down the hall.

“You should try out for the track team!” I hear him call out.

Lee’s POV
She looked hot yesterday. Rin, I mean. She actually wore makeup. But only a little bit, not like all those other chicks that use up a whole container of foundation in one day. Lip gloss and eyeliner, I think. Wait, why do I care what kind of makeup she wore?

Rin’s POV
“Nice job,” Su Ling appears beside me, patting me lightly on the back.

“Huh?” I reply. I have no clue about what she is saying.

“You got rid of all those photos. That was pretty quick, how’d you do it so fast?” She asks as we walk to chemistry class. I halt, and quickly turn to face her.

“What? I didn’t take all of them down,” I say. “Maybe, Vincent did?” Su Ling wiggles her eyebrows and nudges me.

“Probably. That guy is like, your superman,” She giggles and when the bell rings, she grabs my hand and we run, laughing all the way down the corridor.
