It was a crisp autumn day and outside the leaves were falling to the ground, but inside the high school the heated topic of homecoming queen was on the tip of everyone's tongues. The bell rang for lunch and everyone flooded into the cramped dining quarters, including Michiru. Every year for the past 3 years she had always won homecoming queen in her class, but as a senior it was more of a hot issue now than ever. She walked over to her usual table and took a seat next to the chattering girls at the table.
Immediately her palm met the bottom of her chin and her elbow rested on the table. With a sigh she ignored the conversation flipping through one of her text books, she wasn't much of a gossiper. Her long curly strands of aquamarine hair fell over her shoulder as she read on completely ignorant of what the other girls were saying until one of the girls smacked her in the back of the head pulling her out of her trance,
"Michi, are you listening?" Her greenish blue eyes looked up from the book around at all the girls staring at her, "huh? No, sorry... What were you saying Britt?" The blonde next to her sighed and repeated herself, "we took a poll and it looks like that foreign girl is going to win homecoming queen this year." Britt was Michiru's right hand girl. She was more obsessed with keeping Michiru as the most popular girl in school than Michiru was. " She thinks she's so hot with that stupid accent of hers..." the red head next to her, Ally, said while rolling her eyes. Ally was a force to be reckoned with, she always got her way and would go to far lengths to get it.
"I'm not really that worried about it. I'd actually just like to enjoy my last year of high school, if I keep trying to be at the top of everything I won't have time to do that." she said as she looked down at her book about to go back to reading it before Ally pulled the book from her hands. "Michiru, do you know what gift the homecoming queen gets?" she asked arching her brow. "Yeah, yeah. That stupid little key chain. I get it every year." "No... well yes, but the senior prom queen also gets a full scholarship to the college of her choice." Ally said crossing her arms as Michiru's eyes lit up. She'd always wanted to go to an art and music school, but her parents didn't want to pay expensive college costs for something that she might not even make it in.
"What do you suggest I do?" Michiru asked almost not wanting to ask, knowing how the girls always reacted. "We'll teach that foreign bitch a lesson" the chimed in together with creepy smiles, "The guys are the ones we need to win over, they won't want her anymore with a messed up face." Michiru wanted nothing to do with that of course, but she smiled nonetheless, "I think I have a better idea..." With a laugh and a toss of he hair she stood, smiling down at the other girls, "What is the one thing every guy fantasizes about?" She didn't wait for their response and left them at the table all alone to figure it out for themselves.
Sitting at a table in the corner was Haruka, wearing her male's school uniform, despite the discouraging looks from the teachers. Her short masculine hair and tall frame made her look like a man, but the uniform made her gender questionable. The give away was her beautiful face and yet even so, since it had come out that she was a girl's girl, the entire school had outcast her. None of the girls wanted anything to do with her and the guys couldn't get her anyway so what was the point? It had been almost two years since anyone had given her anymore conversation than the time or the date, she always sat alone on lunch hour.
Well, maybe not always. "May I sit?" Michiru asked standing infront of Haruka, despite the shocked looks she was getting from her partners in crime across the room. Haruka's royal blue eyes shot up as if she'd been expecting it, though inside she was very surprised, "I don't own the table" But it was not the table she took a seat at. Michiru plopped herself down onto Haruka's lap, her face inches away from the other girls. "I wasn't asking to sit at the table."she stated, her lips curled into a small smile and she pressed her lips against the other girls without hesitation, leaving Haruka's eyes wide and her face reddened.
