Read and review so I can know what you guys think about?
Eli wasn't wrong when she said that it was going to be a long day. She's not even sitting inside the first year classroom for two hours but she already had a massive headache.
And she totally blamed it to her two friends who know nothing to act like what they suppose to be.
She know that Umi already covered it up by lying about how they all are pretending to be another µ's members but still there's no way that Maki or Rin would ever act like this.
There's no way Rin could suddenly went up at to the blackboard and answer the question without breaking any sweat. Not that Eli doubted the girl but her experience seeing Rin as one of the trio idiot members (the other two are Nico and Honoka) are enough to know it.
That and the fact that Rin now making a confused looking face using Maki's.
And not to mention that the question on the blackboard is English subject. It was the subject that Rin hate the most.
"Well done, Hoshizora-san!" The English teacher said, smiling, "I know that you can do it if you want."
Umi gave only a small smiled and bowed her head down before walk back to her respective seat, earning a small squeal from their classmates.
"What's wrong?" Umi whispered with a worried frown latched on her head when she saw how Eli let out a sighed and rub her temples as soon as she reach her seat.
Eli sighed, "You do realize what you are doing back there, right?"
Umi raised her eyebrows, "I'm sorry but I think I'm not quite understand what are you trying to say."
"Umi," Eli began, sighing again and she wondered how much she already sighed for the past hour, "Rin could never answer that kind of question. She always had this weak spot on English subject remember? No matter what you said about we're right now playing pretending game, there's no way Rin can be suddenly really good at English subject over the night."
Realization dawn upon Umi as her mouth forming an 'o' shape. She looked down in guilty before softly answered, "W-Well… she has been study with Maki so she probably-"
Eli shook her head before she pointed towards Rin's direction.
Umi turned around at where Rin is and she understood right away what Eli implying.
Rin was looking at the blackboard with a confused looked and stare as if she tried to decipher an Alien language with her tongue sticking out and frowned visible on her forehead, she looked like someone who was in high concentration and her hand is nonstop scribbling on Maki's notebook.
Umi flinched, Maki wouldn't be happy to know that Rin just scribbling without seeing her notebook at all. The scarlet hair girl after all always loves her things to be neat and organized.
"I see your point." Umi said, sighing. "I understand I will try to be more careful."
Eli nodded, "Well as long as you understand."
"Nishikino-san," the teacher called out and in that instant Umi and Eli can feel their heart beating nervously as they looked at Rin's direction who still busy doing her things.
"Nishikino-san!" the teacher repeated again after she realize Maki (or rather Rin) ignored her.
Eli and Umi saw how the girl who sit a row beside Maki nudge Rin making the girl jumped in surprised and unfortunately, shouted as well.
"Nya?!" which earning a loud laughter from the classmates.
Eli fought the urge to face palmed as Umi looked at Rin's direction nervously. If Maki know what Rin just did using her body and identity.
The teacher coughed on her fist before looked at Rin sternly and said, "Please translate this phrase in Japan, Nishikino-san."
"Wh-What?" Rin choked nervously as she started sweating bullet.
"I said translate this phrase into Japan." The teacher repeated, frowning.
"U-Uhm… I… Uh…" Rin fidget.
"Come one Rin, you can do this…" Umi and Eli silently whispered as their eyes keep looking at Rin who looked really troubled by the sudden request from the teacher.
Eli was already in the verge of standing up and helping Rin after a few seconds past with Rin still being silent and fidgeting but she managed to stop herself when she saw how Rin's (or Maki, okay this is starting to get confusing even for Eli) eyes twinkling before she opened her mouth.
Eli's hunch told the girl to stop Rin but her mind rationalizes that she needs to put a faith in Rin that the girl can do it.
And boy how she regret to listen her mind.
She should listen to Nozomi when the violet hair girl told her she need to stop thinking so much and listen to her hunch (actually it was heart but hunch and heart is almost the same thing right?).
What happen next makes Umi, Eli and some of their classmate jaw dropped including the teacher while the rest of the class laughing really hard.
"What is that? I don't understand it at all." Rin said confidently like what Maki usually did with uninterested looked on her face as she twirling Maki's scarlet hair with her finger.
Yup, Rin is so going to be death if Maki know what just happen.
And Umi and Eli didn't know what they can do to help the younger girl.
All they can hope is Maki to never find it out (quite impossible) or just pray for Rin.
Little that they know right in front of the class door, Kotori and Hanayo had to do their best to stop angry Maki storming inside the room.
"Let me go!" Maki shouted with her face as red as her hair, whether it was from anger or embarrassment, Kotori and Hanayo didn't know at all.
"Maki-chan, you need to stop!" Kotori said as she tried her best to restrain Maki. She hold Maki's shoulders from the front while Hanayo hug the girl's waist from the back.
They were on the way to the field because they had PE class on their first and second period. It was quite peaceful at first until they passed the first year classroom and accidently heard what happened in there.
That is when Maki went all red and decide to try to storm inside the room without thinking the consequence she probably will get if she just walked there while she's still Nozomi.
"Can't you heard what she just said and do?!" Maki said angrily as she tried to break free from Kotori's and Hanayo's hold.
The other third year students who took the same route with them looked at their direction confused and slightly afraid. It was not a usual sight for them afterall to see their usual smiling student council ex-vice president went angry like that to who knows what happened inside the first year classroom and had to be restrain by Eli and Nico.
Usually it was Nico who need to be restrain by Eli and Nozomi when she get angry or went berserk mode.
"Maki-chan!" Hanayo whispered, half pleading half nervous, "P-Please stop."
"Please don't make any scene here Maki-chan." Kotori to joined Hanayo's plead as she looked at Maki, "L-let just let it go until the lunch time and then by that time we will talk with Rin-chan. Okay?"
"But-"
"Maki-chan, please?" Kotori asked with teary eyes, Kotori didn't know if she did it right as she never did it before with other people appearance only in her but when she saw Maki flinched before she let out a frustrated sighed, Kotori know that she did it good.
"Fine." Maki huffed, making Hanayo and Kotori let out a deep sighed of relieve. "But I am so gonna teach Rin a lesson later."
Kotori and Hanayo gulped when she saw how serious Maki is.
"S-Someone please save Rin-chan…" Hanayo pleaded silently.
At the same time when Rin just dig her own grave and Maki decide to forgive the ginger hair girl for NOW, Nico was sweating bullet.
She can't help but feeling slightly bothered and nervous.
No, it's not because of the lesson (surprisingly). She already covered it all up last year eventough she's not confident to answer it right if the teacher pick her to answer the question on the blackboard (Nico prayed hard for not being picked because that will be embarrassing as hell especially with Nozomi and Honoka right there with her).
But, no she's sweating bullet and feeling bothered and nervous was not because of the lesson.
What bothered her was something else, which is mainly let just said Umi Fans Club.
Yeah, that was what really bothered her right now.
Why?
Because after that little façade that Nozomi pulled out that morning in the homeroom, Nico found herself got nothing but jealous and angry stared from Umi Fans Club members (which is almost all students in the class) and it was really bothering and making the older girl nervous. How Kotori can handle all of that everyday was beyond Nico to understand. Nico was not even in the younger body for more than one hour and she already sweating bullets at the attention se got, how about Kotori then who stuck in this body for 24 hours?
"This is really crazy." Nico mumbled as she keep looking down on her textbook, not even bothering to look up as she didn't want to see how the girls in her class giving her the glared.
Nozomi chuckled, "The younger girls these days sure know how to glare."
"Shut up, this is your fault." Nico said, glaring at Nozomi who only gave her a small smiled as a response. Nico let out a sighed before she shook her head slowly, "How can Kotori handle this?"
"It's because Kotori-chan love Umi-chan." This time Honoka was the one who said it and that makes Nico quickly turn her head around to look at Honoka confusedly.
"Uh what?"
"I said because Kotori-chan love Umi-chan."
"That is so cheesy." Nico said, frowning.
"But it's the truth." Honoka pouted which once again earning squeal from Umi's fans. It took teacher glares to stop the squealing sound in the class as Honoka quickly mumbled apologize towards the now frowning Nico.
"Honoka-chan is right, Nicocchi." Nozomi said as she smiled towards Nico who groaned.
"Not you too Nozomi."
"Just think about it," Nozomi said while chuckling lowly so the teacher won't heard her, "Aren't you going to face everything that the world throws to you just so you can stay by Maki-chan side? Because I will do that for Elicchi and so does Kotori."
Nico looked down as she was in the deep thought while her head slowly nodded before she suddenly stop and her eyes went wide then without much of thought she stood up from her seat, earning a screech sound when she did that and shouted with red face, "What are you talking about?! Why you said Maki's name there?!"
It was silent at first as Honoka looked at Nico in awe mixed with surprise while Nozomi looked torn as she want to laugh yet at the same time surprised with Nico sudden outburst.
"Wow… this is the first time I ever seen Kotori-chan looked angry and embarrassed like that. What's more she's shouting…" Honoka mumbled as her eyes keep looking at Nico.
The sense of dread coming to Nico as she gulped down and looked around the classroom where everyone is staring at her and especially the teacher who looks like she will explode anytime soon.
"U-Uhm… I…"
"Minami-san." The teacher began and makes Nico gulped down her saliva.
She is so gonna be dead.
Either it was by the teacher or by Umi when she know what Nico did while she's in Kotori's body.
XXX
Hanayo always hate running, she could never run as fast as Rin and she always feel tired fast so when she heard that today PE class is running for 100 meters, Hanayo can only hope and pray that Nico would forgive her if she makes the rave hair girl record went down.
"You can do it just fine." Kotori said, encouraging Hanayo with a smile while Maki who stood beside Kotori nodded her head slightly with a small smile and for a second Hanayo can see how Maki looked like exactly the Nozomi they knew.
Of course it wasn't last long as her smiled immediately gone and replaced by her disinterested expression.
"Just run, Nico's record time was not that good either. It was really low so no need to feel burden."
"Maki-chan…" Kotori said in a small scolding manner as she looked at Maki who shrugged.
"It's the truth."
Hanayo smiled, "T-Thank you." Hanayo softly mumbled. "I will do my best."
"Yazawa-san!" the PE teacher, Ms. Tainaka shouted alerting the girls, "It's your turn!"
"O-Okay!" Hanayo shouted nervously as she gave Kotori and Maki one last nervous smiled before walked to the running with another two third year classmate standing side by side and take their position in their line.
"Ready?" Ms. Tainaka shouted, "Set…"
Hanayo gulped, hoping for the best.
"Go!"
And with that Hanayo and the two girls beside her took off.
