Spring Dance
Chapter One: What Uub Don't 'Need' To Know.
"What's up?"
Uub looked up at the questioner, "Nothing much, you?"
"I'm okay I guess." Bra replied with a smile.
"What are you doing here anyway?" Uub was a little confused as to why she was here in the first place, after all they go to different schools and this was his lunch break… did he mention the school she goes to is on the other side of town?
"Oh, just playing match-maker, you?" Bra said offhandedly.
Uub's eyebrow rose "I go to school here… and what do you mean 'match-maker'?"
"Oh nothing, but you should probably know that Pan-chan has a date tonight!" Uub's eyes narrowed, but other than that he showed no signs of being opposed to Bra's sing-songed proclamation…
"Really?" His voice was a little tighter than usual, but you wouldn't notice unless you were rather observant…
Bra made a point to be observant.
"Yep! He's really cute too! His names Giru and I think Pan might really like him!" 'As a friend' but Bra decided to keep that last part to herself.
"Really?" If you listened real hard you could hear his teeth grate against each other.
"Mmm-mm! And after wards… well I heard Giru-kun talking to some of his guy friends and-" Okay, so Bra definitely knew how to twist the truth…
Giru and Pan had been friends for years, they were going on an outing, heck Bra was coming too actually and no, she wasn't a third wheel.
She had heard Giru talking to some of his guy friends. That's it. It had absolutely nothing to do with the 'date'. And afterwards they were planning on hanging out at the beach.
Of course, Uub didn't need to know that…
"'And' what?" Uub did not look like a happy camper…
Bra turned red "Well… maybe I shouldn't tell you…"
"Why not?" Damn, Uub looked close to blowing up… Bra was amazed he was able to keep his voice so calm.
"Well you see…" She blushed "Oh! I'm too embarrassed!"
Uub's left eye twitched.
It was true! She was slightly embarrassed, after all Giru had been talking about his crush on Bra Briefs.
But Uub didn't need to know that.
"Well, anywho, Pan-chan has been thinking and she thought she should help Giru-kun with his lack of date for the spring dance. She's going to make her move in a few days. Later Uub!" And with that, Bra was gone.
Had that been a tip? Bra knew very well Uub liked Pan(even though he hadn't quite admitted it to himself) so was she laying hints?
One of the other things Uub didn't know was Pan had been planning to play matchmaker between Giru and Bra, she had not indeed been planning to ask Giru out…
Yep, Bra Briefs was as cunning as they come.
