Haru Brought Gir… Problems!
Disclaimers: I do not own KHR, just the randomly created girls who serve to add on to Tsuna's daily misfortunes.
"Miura-san, have you checked the group list for our Chemistry assignment?" Koshiba Sayaka asked as she approached the taller girl shyly. Sayaka was the smallest and quietest girl in the class. Although one of the smartest in school, she was not the type to stand up – with her old-fashioned glasses in big round frames and her twin braided pigtails. Standing beside her was her cousin, Koshiba Yumiko – tall, well-developed beauty who never failed to enhance her beauty with little accessories and make-ups. The two cousins were different as day and night, and Haru, along with most of the other students, wondered how they remained best of friends.
"Hahi? The list is out?" she asked, genuinely surprised. "Haru hasn't checked it. But it shouldn't matter!"
The two girls looked at each other, then sighed. Yumiko took a seat besides Haru. It was lunch period, and most other girls had rushed to the cafeteria.
"We're in the same group," she whispered, after carefully glancing at the remaining girls in class. As Haru was about the voice her confusion over Yumiko's actions, she quickly continued, "Us, and Setou Mia."
Haru frowned. Setou Mia was not exactly someone she would choose to be a group with. She was really intelligent, constantly scoring perfect marks for her exams, and excelled in all sports. She was said to beat even guys in most competitive sports during their school's friendly matches – in which she went ahead and challenged the best players of the boy's team. She was probably loaded too – having been escorted to school by different expensive looking cars and scary looking bodyguards each day. But it wasn't just about jealousy for someone who seemed almost perfect. Mia wasn't exactly the nicest girl around. Nor was she the most feminine looking girl around. With her height and short boyish haircut, as well as her flat figure she could easily be mistaken as a boy – her almost never wearing her uniform didn't help either.
"I'm afraid to talk to her," Sayaka voiced timidly. There were rumors about how girls who were previously teamed up with her had bad experiences. Haru, though not usually into gossips, was well aware of all the rumors.
"Neh, Miura-san…"
"Haru," Haru interrupted the bolder girl with a smile. "Have a seat too, Saya-chan".
Sayaka blushed, but quietly grabbed a chair and seated herself beside her cousin. "Thanks… Haru-chan".
"Haru…" Yumiko began, looking sternly at her. "Do you think we could ask for a group re-arrangement?"
"Haru doesn't think so… Maybe we should try to talk to her and see if she is really as *terrible* as everyone said!" Haru suggested. Just as they spoke of the devil, Setou Mia walked into the class, carrying her boken.
"Hahi! Mia-chan!" Haru gasped. The two cousins were so startled they almost jumped from their seats.
Mia saw them, and approached them.
"Miura-san, Koshiba cousins," she greeted, her face firm. The two girls turned to face her with a forced smile. All three girls greeted back awkwardly.
"I'm looking forward to work with you. Please take good care of me," she shook each of their hands, surprising them. Pretty soon, Mia managed to break the awkward silence, and the girls quickly had a draft outlined and plans for further meetings. Just as the lunch period was about to end, the girls exchanged numbers and Mia quietly excused herself for her student council activity.
"She is actually a very nice girl!" Sayaka beamed, feeling slightly guilty for judging the girl from rumors, "Maybe that's why she received so many chocolates on Valentine day!" Yumiko made a face at that remark.
"I bet she's just putting on a goody-two-shoes show! Did you notice she didn't even smile the whole time?"
Sayaka looked uncomfortable. Unlike Yumiko, she was the type to easily like and trust another person.
"Maybe she just didn't like to smile… Everyone has their own *unique traits*," Haru commented. Yumiko shrugged, "Or maybe she's just using Botox." The other girls laughed at the comment.
However, within two weeks of working together, the 3 girls quickly came to accept Mia. Haru liked her new friends a lot, and had lots of fun working with them. One day, while working on the final draft of her presentation, the girls started talking about their dream guys. After listening to their descriptions, Haru realized how Sayaka and Yumiko's dream guys matched with Gokudera and Yamamoto, and decided to introduce them. Not wanting to have Mia feeling left out, she invited (read: dragged) Mia to join them – not realizing that she was about to introduce more problems than romance to the team.
Notes: I just can't get enough of KHR. I thought it would be fun to give Gokudera and Yamamoto some girl troubles… And Tsuna a 'serious' competition. So here goes my crazy, most unorganized story… ever! Cheers, and thanks for reading xD
