Not As Simple As It Seems
Chapter 2: Why me?
Arisa was walking with Hana like usual. It was as silent, as could be. At least they were quite. They couldn't say the same thing about Yuki's fan girls though. There was a lot of people talking about him. If possible, it seemed like ditching school had made him even more popular. Hana and Arisa stopped at a corner, hoping that Tohru and her stalkers hadn't passed them already.
In the meantime they were forced, against their will to hear things coming from the creepish stalker fan girls. Kyo's and Yuki's. It was amazing, some of the thing they said were just plain… creepy.
"Did you see Yuki's legs! They were nice, do you think he shaves?"
"What kind of shampoo do you think Yuki uses?"
"Is that his natural hair color or did he dye it?"
"He ditched school yesterday! That's so HOT! He was a total goody-goody which is the way I like him, but now he's got that goody-goody bad boy thing going on! It's way better!"
"I know!"
"I wonder if he'd use eye liner if I asked him too…"
"He's so hot!"
These were only a few things the fan girls of Yuki said… others who were a little more obsessive said other things… things Arisa didn't even want to think about! They were sick! Kyo's fan's were even worse!
"He's got the best legs!"
"His eyes are so emotional!"
"He's hair is so… orange!"
"Orange is totally my favorite color!"
"I bet it's his too!"
"I bet he's my soul mate!"
"Who would want to be that bastard's soul mate?" Arisa finally yelled unable to take it any more.
It was about that moment that Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru walked over. Kyo just glared at her evilly, almost as bad as the fan girls… but Hana gave them a glare right back, they stopped of course. They remembered the broken glass!
Yuki just sighed ignoring most of the fan girls. Most of which were trying to get him to tell him why he skipped, and if it was to meet another girl. Meanwhile innocent Tohru was talking and smiling at Yuki, not noticing the glares from the other girls. It was dangerous to be a friend of Yuki Sohma's.
They walked to school. Tohru was the only one speaking most of the time. All Arisa could think about was the evil ways to kill their stupid cheerleading teacher if she paired her up with a certain someone. Hana was busy trying to read other people's waves, it kept her mind off of… things.
Finally when they entered first period and sat down the bell rang. When our teacher walked in he carried a huge pile of papers.
"Everyone! I finished grading all of your tests last night!" he said.
His name was Mr. Jinkins. He was actually one of the best teachers to get… usually. Much better then stupid happy go lucky teachers… anyway… he was always nice to the class and didn't care about late work. The only thing that scared the people in class was his life style.
He didn't have a life away from school. I mean really, who grades all of the tests in one night, just to pass them out the next day. I mean… wow, that's gotta show how much dedication he's got. It creeped most people out though, even Arisa didn't like it.
He began to pass out papers quite slowly. Most students were on edge, everyone usually thought they flunked. The faces of people usually changed… sometimes for the better… most of the time for the worst.
The first of the five to get their test back was Yuki. Of course Mr. Perfect got a B… well technically a B+. But whatever, it's all the same to me. Next was Tohru, a C. A good grade for poor Tohru. She had a lot to deal with, if Arisa had been in her position, she would have dropped out. Probably anyway.
Hana got hers back about 5 minutes later, a good B+. Hana smiled. She would have gotten a F without Arisa's help. Of course she had to get some things wrong or the teacher would become suspicious. That's when the teacher walked into the front of the room.
Arisa looked at Hana at the same time that Kyo had started to panic. Neither had gotten their test back.
"Everyone… please begin Chapter 19." Mr. Jinkin's said. "Oh and can Kyo and Arisa please come into the hall with me."
Mr. Jinkin's walked out of the room, followed by Kyo and Arisa. The customary "owwww" Was heard as they stepped out. Mr. Jinkin's then gave both of them their tests back.
"Arisa, as usual, I'm very proud of you, a perfect score… the only one in all of my classes." Mr. Jinkin's told her, pushing his glasses a little bit up his nose. "And Kyo… the worst score. I think maybe Arisa, you should tutor Kyo."
It took a whole twenty seconds for this to sink in.
"No!" Both said glaring at the teacher.
"Well fine… but Arisa you would be paid, and Kyo… I wouldn't have to flunk you and suggest they hold you back maybe one or two years… if your lucky…" Mr. Jinkin's told them.
Arisa thought for a moment. She could use that money… "I'll do it!" She told him with a smirk saying 'I'll get him up to at least a'd' by the next test!'
Kyo stared at her. He couldn't believe she said yes. He couldn't believe he was going to be forced to stay in this dumb class… even for another year! "Fine!" He growled angrily not happy with this arrangement.
By the time this whole thing was over so was class. Arisa sighed as she grabbed her stuff, and looked at Hana. Hana cocked her head to the side, saying she wanted to know, but wouldn't ask if Arisa didn't want her to know.
"I'm stuck tutoring Orangey…" Arisa told her.
"That would mean he'd have to come over to my house more often…" Hana said.
Arisa and Hana always studied at Hana's house. It helped Hana pass school… even though most of the time it was "studying". More like playing video games and stuff. Maybe watch a movie… or twelve. They had done that before… it'd been pretty fun. The next day, neither showed up to the test… they were both asleep.
"I wonder who my partner shall be in the 'family' unit." Hana said to Arisa, looking straight forward, as though she wasn't acknowledging the fact Arisa was there.
"If she puts me with Orangey, I already have a couple dozen ways to kill her… slowly… and painfully…" Arisa said evil in her eyes.
Hana looked at her and shook her head. They both walked into the class room. Followed by Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru.
"Everybody!" A cheerleader's voice called out. "It's time for the family unit!"
At that moment their 45 year-old teacher walked out wearing one of their cheerleading outfits. Hana actually looked shocked, her mask falling for only a moment.
"Before we start we have a new student! Hao Mendar!" She yelled. Most people rolled their eyes… but that was 'till he walked in.
He was handsome, to put it meanly. He was wearing the same uniform as everyone else, but he was way cuter in it. He had midnight black hair, and blood red eyes. All the girls began jumping at him. Trying to show him a little something about their selves. It was weird. His first day and this guy almost had all of the fan girls to himself. Even Arisa and Hana were dazed for a moment.
"Okay-dokey! Well here are our couples. Kyo and Yume!" Was he first couple called out.
Arisa smiled and then whispered, "Sucks to be you." Before Kyo was dragged over to the table by Yume.
"Next is Hana and Yuki…"
Hana looked at Arisa. No matter how much she liked Yuki, she didn't want to be near him. That'd only make it harder for her when Tohru and Yuki fell in love.
"Now we have Hao and Arisa…"
Arisa almost fainted. She got to be paired up with… him. Most of the girls glared at her. And then remembered the metal pole… the metal pole with blood stains on it. Their glares stopped in a matter of seconds.
"Hi, you probably know already but I'm Hao." Hao told her offering his hand with the most wonderful smile she had ever seen.
"… Arisa." She said back. It took only a few seconds, until she found herself falling for him.
By the time everyone had gotten a partner it was time for them to leave. "See ya tomorrow!" Said waving to Arisa as he walked away. Arisa felt a blush rise to her checks, as she stared off after him.
After School at Shigure's wonderful house
Shigure sat "working" on one of his novels. He was making paper airplanes of course. HE had searched both Kyo and Yuki's room. Neither of the rooms showed any sign of a…. relationship.
Kyo must have a strange obsession with Yuki! Was all that Shigure could think about. He had to talk about certain… things… with Kyo. He knew that the cat and mouse were falling love. Even if the mouse kept rejecting the cat. At least… that's what went on in his mind.
"I'm back." Kyo called from the front room. "Tohru and Yuki had to got shopping so it's just me, and dinner will be late." Kyo reported just as Tohru had told him to.
"Kyo! I have a very important matter to speak to you about!" Shigure called, forcing Kyo to sit down one the couch.
"If you are always fighting someone, that may make you start to fall in love with them…" Shigure began. "So is there anyone you always fight with, who you can't help but thinking about…?"
"Yep." Kyo said right away. Arisa… he was always thinking of how to beat her… even though it never really worked…
"Sometimes these emotions get so strong you want to get… physical…" Shigure continued.
'Yep I'm gonna pound her into the ground sometime. With or without that metal pole!' Kyo thought evilly.
"Good you know what I'm talking about!" Shigure yelled. "This is the perfect time for The talk!"
"What?" Kyo screamed.
"The talk… now I know sometimes you may just want to… well… do it right then and there you'll hurt your male lover unless you use lotion to…"
"STOP IT!" Kyo yelled as he ran to his room. He officially hated Shigure… again. What could he be talking about this time… actually never mind… Kyo didn't want to know… he didn't want to know at all.
