"Last day of term!" Rose's face was a picture of utter joy. "This means sleeping until noon..."
"No it doesn't.
"... No homework..."
"No it doesn't."
"... Doing whatever..."
"No it doesn't."
"... Going on Holidays..."
"No it doesn't."
She glared at the offending twins, who beamed at her jovially.
"Dearest Rose..." Kaoru began.
"You don't seem to understand!" Hikaru finished. Then, with astounding symmetry, they said:
"You won't sleep until noon, because Tono will ring every other day to drag you out for a reunion. We have holiday homework in Maths, Literature, Biology, Health and Social, and Art. You won't do whatever, you have work to do with Mom. And the only way you'll go on holidays is if we come!"
She watched them for a moment.
"Well, there goes my summer."
"Uhhh huh."
"Okay, seriously, less of the unison."
It was senior year for the remaining four at Ouran High School. Tamaki was studying history and business at University, while Kyoya studied statistics and business, along with attending medical schooling after hours. Haruhi had managed to keep herself top of the class, despite Tamaki bugging her at many occasions, and had already been offered a scholarship to a Law University next spring. Rose planned not to go to University, and instead concentrated on her modelling, and hinting around certain parties her agent forced her to attend that she had done a lot of singing. One or two people had shown interest, but there was nothing solid yet. Hikaru and Kaoru planned to study business and textiles in University, and then take over their mothers business.
The three entered their last class of that day – English – and took the usual seats. Hikaru next to Rose, Rose next to Haruhi (who had been early, as usual, damn her scholarship), Haruhi next to Kaoru, who was next to the window, perfect for daydreaming out of.
When Haruhi once asked why they the twins were not seated together, they explained (quite endearingly) that it was a protective stance. They were always either side of the girls.
"Right class." As the teacher neatly stepped into the room, sitting herself on her desk, leaning against it casually, while careful not to knock a small blue picture frame with the photo of a baby boy to the floor. "It's the last lesson of the first term of your final year."
"We know that."
Hikaru's 'smart' comment got him a severe look.
"... So I thought we'd do something special. Please move the desks to the side of the room and sit in a circle on the floor. Quickly!"
Everyone paused to understand the brief English word in the sentence, before standing and moving the desks in bemusement.
"Wonder what she has in mind..." Kaoru mused.
"Regardless, we can just mooch of Rose again." Hikaru grinned. Rose glared.
"No you ca-an't!" She catcalled vengefully. The boys froze again, comprehending the sentence (Kaoru figured it out first), and then frowned.
"Why?"
"Learn to do it on your own. I'm sick of it."
"... Well, crap."
They were soon seated in the circle; Rose purposefully sat as far away from the twins as possible. They tried to catch her eye pleadingly, but they were ignored.
"So class, I want you all to give me a full spoken debate, in which everyone must participate." The teacher explained, and Rose's smirk could rival her boyfriend's. "The topic is teenage sex." The smirk dropped, causing Hikaru to snigger. "As you find it so funny Hikaru, you may start. What's your view?"
"I... think? Yeah, think that it relies on pancakes."
Rose burst out laughing, causing the class to stare at her wonderingly.
"Honestly, Hika, I don't know what PANCAKES has to do with sex."
He flushed and looked away.
"Rose, don't be cruel to your classmate." The teacher chided, though slightly amused. "Why don't you give your view?"
"Alright." The twins cringed in fear. "I think that sex and love are closely linked, so if you were to find someone you love at a slightly younger age, I think it would be okay. Then again, there is the argument of sex before marriage being wrong, but if you are too young to legally wed, then it is simply expressing your love by any means possible. So I have nothing against it, but at the same time, see why people would.
As for Teenage Pregnancy, that's simply caused by stupidity. After all, there is protection, and pills, so if a girl gets pregnant, it shouldn't be sex at her age that is questioned, but the awareness of protection and such at that age. Admittedly, when drunk, protection is the last thing on a teenage mind, but then the drink should be called into question.
Overall, underage sex is fine in my opinion, so long as both parties are willing, and protection is used properly."
The class stared at her blankly, and the teacher died a little inside.
"Why are you in this class Rose?"
"Easy top grade. Sorts out my average a bit seeing as I can't do maths. Or science for that matter. Or literature either." She thought to herself for a moment. "Actually, I can only really do Music, P.E. and languages..."
Continuing to gape at her, the class unanimously tittered, and she flushed pink. The twins proceeded to glare at all that laughed, and Haruhi smiled at Rose comfortingly.
The discussion went on, and the teacher soon realised she was fighting a losing battle. The twins had given up, and spoke plain Japanese. Rose just outshone everyone, putting both opinions and tenses in – just to annoy the teacher, and corrected the few mistakes the teacher made. Most students shied away from questions, or gave one word answers. Haruhi was a beacon of light, making one or two mistakes, but performing admirably. The twins would tease her about it later.
"Rose, please let someone else give an ans..."
"The bell is going to go! Everyone, look! The clock! Oh my god!"
"Renge, please get off my desk."
"QUIET! WE'RE FREE!"
"Renge..."
"FREEDOM IS NIGH! Fellow classmates, grab your bags and satchels!" Renge stood proudly on the teacher's desk, hand flung into the air in triumph, feet apart in an unmovable stance. "You, I, we, are one student body! Together, we shall infiltrate the hallways- brrring –and storm the classrooms, wreaking havoc so that over the summer, we may lay rest in safety in the knowledge that the school..."
"Later Renge." The twins chimed, either side of Rose and Haruhi, who were discussing the summer to come.
"B-b-but, the siege...?"
"Have a nice summer Renge-san!" Rose smiled, and Renge gave her a fearful look, having not forgotten the black eye the girl once gave her.
"You too Rose-chan..." She feebly called after her, and scowled slightly as she turned away, Hikaru's arm slung over her shoulder jovially.
"... Please get off my desk. You've kicked the picture of my son to the floor..."
"QUIET."
"S-sorry!"
"STRIKE!"
Rose pouted in frustration as Hikaru, again, knocked all ten pins to the floor with one ball. She regretted letting them select bowling. Glancing at the score board, she was annoyed to see the twins each have a multiple amount of strikes and spares.
She had a pretty row of gutterballs.
"You really are shit, aren't you?" Kaoru giggled, as if reading her thoughts, and ruffled her hair. She scowled at him, and strode up confidently, selecting the heaviest purple ball stubbornly, swinging her arm back and letting it fly forward, the ball rolling incredibly slowly, inching slowly to the right, closer and closer to...
"Gutterball."
The twin's unison didn't help.
Kaoru whispered something in Hikaru's ear, who blushed and got a little frustrated, before finally the younger twin shoved his brother forward.
"Need a hand?" He asked cockily.
Kaoru's hand and face met.
"No. I am perfectly capable of THIS. It's a very popular game in England." She sniffed, again selecting a purple ball. Hikaru rolled his eyes.
"No look – the purple ball is way too heavy. Only weightlifters use those. Here- use this red one, it'll be easier." He lifted the aforementioned red ball and offered it to her. She gave it a dubious look, before replacing the purple ball and slipping her fingers into the grips of the red one offered to her.
"Thank you." She mumbled, slightly embarrassed, and he grinned. Kaoru coughed. Hikaru scowled.
"Here – your technique is... well, crap." He lifted her from under her arms (she squealed in protest) before being placed a few steps back from the lane.
"Gee, thanks, you're so supportive." She snapped, but as his arms suddenly slipped around her, pulling her arm back and his hand softly guiding her forward, she found herself blushing instead, as she was walked forward and the ball slipping from her fingers, rolling neatly across the polished wooden floor. She looked up at him for a second, and he met her gaze, grinning mischievously. She didn't know if she'd hit any pins until Kaoru proclaimed:
"STRIKE!"
She pulled away from him, looking down the lane, and surely enough, all pins were down. Her face filled with joy and delight, and she laughed, flinging herself at Hikaru, arms fastened around his neck. Blushing, Hikaru grinned triumphantly at Kaoru, who rolled his eyes, somehow knowing Hikaru completely forgot it was Kaoru's plan in the first place.
When she suddenly rolled forward on her toes, and pecked him on the cheek, the grin grew, and Kaoru figured he wouldn't be getting any sleep tonight for the babble of his brother.
"Come back to our house-Come back to our house-Come back to our house-PLEEASE?"
Rose looked at them.
"Eh, alright."
"Yaay-!"
