The bell rang loudly through the school, signalling lunch to everyone. Some students headed to the oval to eat, some headed to the canteen to eat and some headed to the front of the school to eat. Every student's eye wary of a certain group of boys. They wore all black but weren't goths, they were so pale they could be considered vampires and there was a leader. His name was Kaname and He HATED nerds. The reason was unknown to everyone. He always liked picking on nerds. But a certain type of nerd was his favorite.

He had silver hair and Lavender eyes. He also had pale skin like the other boys but he dressed in more...brighter colours than them. He wore a yellow wool long sleeved jumper, with long black pants that were slightly tight and wore white flat shoes that showed his ankles. He always carried around books and loved doing work. But he always got picked on by the most popular guy at school. Kaname Kuran.

The Silver haired boy sat down at his usual spot in the library. Just beside the window at the table far from the entrance. He didn't like speaking to other people. He just liked to sit down and read.

"Reading as usual?" A voice asked making Lavender eyes look up to see Kaname holding a book in his left hand.

"Yes." Zero simply replied and looked down at his book again to continue reading. Crimson eyes scanned the title of the book, he sat down on the other side of the table quietly.

"You're ready Pride And Prejudice? I liked that one I guess." Kaname said making Lavender eyes glance up at him.

"Whats it about then?" Zero asked curiously wondering if Kaname had actually read the book.

"Pride and Prejudice is a novel of manners by Jane Austen, first published in 1813. The story follows the main character, Elizabeth Bennet, as she deals with the issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of the British Regency. Elizabeth is the second of the five daughters of a country gentleman. Mr. Bennet, living in Longbourn." Kaname said and watched as Zero's eyebrows raised in surprise.

"So you do read books." Zero said in a surprised voice and looked at the book in Kaname's hand.

"And you're reading 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee. The plot and the characters were loosely based on the Authors observations of her family and neighbors." Zero said and slowly put his book down.

"Oh, so you've read it?" Kaname said and quirked an eyebrow at the silver haired boy.

"Only like three times." Zero replied with a slight shrug.

"Yo Kuran where you at?" One of Kaname's friends yelled out as he walked into the library. Kaname quickly stood up and looked behind him to see his friends just turning the corner. "Oh, there you are." With a wide grin, he looked at the leader and then at the silver haired boy. "Watcha doin with this nerd?" He asked making Kaname look back at Zero.

"Nothing, just telling him how much of a nerd he is for reading books," Kaname said and threw the book he was going to read at Zero's head and walked off to his friends.

Zero rubbed his head as his lavender eyes unhappily watched Kaname's back. Not once did the other turn around to look at him. Zero glanced down at the book Kaname had thrown at him, slowly his hand that was rubbing his sore head reached out and grabbed the book and brought it up to the table.

Once it was the end of school, Everyone left quickly. The school was practically empty apart from one teacher and a student in a classroom. Yep Kaname had gotten detention for breaking someone's arm. So he was now in a classroom with a teacher who wasn't even awake. Kaname looked down at the work he was meant to do but pushed it to the side in boredom. Slowly he heard the door creak open making his eyes look up to meet a silver haired boy trying to sneak into the classroom.

"What are you doing here," Kaname asked in a low whisper as he didn't want to wake the teacher from his nap.

"I wanted to give you your book back." Zero whispered and slowly crept over to the other male and placed the book down on the desk.

"How's your head?" Kaname asked and watched as the other sat on the ground beside him so if the teacher did wake up he wouldn't see him.

"Sore." Zero replied and felt a gentle pet on his head by Kaname making him gasp and look up at the other male.

'Is there a reason to why you are gentle to me when we are alone but bully me when your friends are around you?' Zero asked in his head and leaned closer to the other male, liking the unusual gentleness he was receiving.

"Sorry," Kaname said and laid the side of his head on the desk as he looked at the younger boy.

"Why do you treat me differently when we are alone?" Zero asked and felt Kaname pull his hand away from his head.

"I don't. You better leave before the teacher wakes up." Kaname said and straightened up in his chair.

"Yes, you do. You treat me nicer." Zero said and got to his feet.

"I don't get out of here nerd," Kaname said and looked away from the other in somewhat disgust.

"Fine then be a Jerk." Zero said and left the room angrily unaware of Kaname's eyes trailing after him.

'I can't be seen weak. It'd ruin my pride Zero.' Kaname thought in his head before looking out at the window that showed grey clouds.
