"Quiet and beautiful,"
"and she has to have nice fingers."
Isn't that what Fuji said?
It was a bright and sunny morning. An ordinary morning with an ordinary beginning. And it was an ordinary day Fuji expected to live through. But when he stepped into his classroom, he knew something was up.
Fuji walked into the classroom expecting to hear the usual incessant chattering before the school bell rang. But today was different. All eyes shot to face him and all mouths were shut as soon as he put his foot into the room. He ignored it, smiling as usual as he took his seat, and gradually noise began to fill the room again, but he noticed at the girls in the class were still eyeing him (which was common) and not talking (which was weird).
Eji bounded to him happily and sat on his table.
"Fujiko, why did all the girls stop talking when you arrived?" he asked, sporting a confused look.
"I'm not sure either," muttered Fuji. "But I will find out the reason by today."
Throughout the morning all the girls kept their mouths shut whenever he was in their vicinity. He tried asking some of them but their similar reaction was to widen eyes, blush, and run away. Fuji even tried to consult the freshmen and junior females, but their identical expressions every time were uncanny.
"Excuse me, but I would like to know why all the girls have been avoiding me," his eyes bore into an unlucky (or lucky) female classmate as he cornered her against the wall.
Let it be known that all fangirls of Fuji Syuusuke suffer from temporary lapse of control of the brain when gazing into those cerulean blue orbs.
"…"
"…" Fuji smiled at her expectantly, leaning forward.
And she fainted.
He sighed. It was time to ask the data man.
"Inui,"said Fuji as the Seigaku regulars began their training.
"What's your data on female behavior today?"
"Let's see." Inui's glasses shined and he flipped open his trusty note book.
"82.8 stops talking and stares at you when they see you. Compared to the average of 34.2 girls keeping quiet and 60.7 staring at you, it is an increase. Also, the number of females checking their nails has shot up 70.3 and checking their reflection in a mirror has gone up by 39.7."
"Saa.." Who knew Inui took note of these things..
"And your reaction. Distraction is 60 of your mind, irritation is ready to show and your poker face is slipping. You never cornered girls into forcing them to tell you something, and you are showing your eyes more often then usual. Plus your eyes have some kind of effect on the girls so the number of blushes has gone up today."
"Possible reasons for this incident to occur?"
"The recent winning of the Nationals, or the Atobe's gift challenge."
"Atobe's gift challenge…"
Meanwhile..
"This so hard! I can't take it any longer!"
"Be brave Motoko-senpai. It's for Fuji-senpai!"
"You are right.. but.. rule number three! No direct contact with the tensai unless accompanied by two other members! So many violations of this rule today! Statistics!"
"Senpai, a total number of 36 violations today. Total 6 seniors, 9 juniors and the remaining 11 from freshmen."
"See that these girls receive their punishment!"
"Yes, senpai!"
Sakuno and Tomo stared at the retreating back of Fuji until he was out of sight and they let out a breath they didn't know they were holding.
"Sakuno! You almost gave us away!"
"Sorry, Tomo! But Fuji-senpai looked so desperate!"
"WE will BE desperate when Fuji-senpai's fangirls finds out that we almost revealed -"
"What about Fuji-senpai's fangirls?" a deeper voice cut in.
They swirled around to find Fuji smirking at them. His first clue.
"Ano.. ano.." Sakuno looked at Tomo desperately for help.
"Umm... they are planning a … a .. surprise birthday party for you! Yeah. A birthday party."
"Ok... then tell me why my birthday is in February and its August now."
"Er.. For next year?"
Fuji raised a skeptical eyebrow. Tomo sighed, knowing that he would never believe them. There was only one way out. Grabbing Sakuno's wrist, she made a dash away.
"Sorry Fuji-senpai!" She called over her shoulder. "We don't want to die so soon!"
