Authors notes: This was a fun chapter to me. Hopefully for you too. This chapter parodies chapter two of bully. Feel free to look up the preps from bully. Or the missions that take place; Ie: -Race the vale-
Remember when I said 'Yuri is a norm in this story'? This chapter has a bigger example than the last with Momoka and Isuzu. So don't freak when you see it.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Napoleon Dynamite reference in the last chapter. Jeez. Or the safety dance...Oh and all 'tracks' that I use for chapter names which are 90s/80s songs that gave me some inspiration to do nothing.
Chapter Dos
-Rich Kid Retards-
Friday, 2:00 PM, Main Building
"-I was also informed you are a good at getting into problems." Hitsugi continued as they walked out of her office.
"No ma'm!" Hayate denied as she looked up at the principle and put her arms up in an x form.
"Or about how you prank a good number of students on your free time." Hitsugi said and leaned foreward onto a rail and stared at the floor of the main building.
"Well..." Hayate couldn't finish that. But didnt know how concede it either. She stopped walking and stared blankly at the principle
"I appreciate your honesty, just make sure you keep your nose clean." Hitsugi warned.
Hayate nodded and inhaled through her nose.
Hitsugi ignored her idiotic responce. "Very well." She got up and made her way to her office. When she was inside, she closed door behind her. Then burst out laughing. "Shizuhahah!"
Her vice looked up from her paperwork. "Hm?"
"Hahaha, did you know students set a dog feces on fire and pulled the fire alarm? Then Mrs. Tanazuki ran out and stomped it out, she is so dumb! Haha..." She trailed off. Her laughter died out and she wiped a tear from her eye, "So about the football expenses forms, Shizuku?"
"Did you hear about the prep and the greaser caught together?" Someone whispered in class to another student.
"Yeah, it's like Romeo and Juliet~" her friend replied with stars in her eyes.
Ayana raised an eyebrow. She happened to be sitting behind them and leaned foreword a bit at their conversation. Pretending to do her work.
"-Yeah, I heard that they were seen in the East side of town when school was over last Friday."
'How convenient.' Ayana thought and sat back.
After class was over she left to investigate.
The glasses girl wore her hood on her head and had her hands in her pockets. She walked around town and behind a building, close to the bridge to new coventry. Home of the greasers.
She climbed a dumpster, then grabbed the ledge and climbed up. Ayana took a latter to the taller three story building right next to the one she stood on. "Hmm, Bingo." She looked around from the ledge and saw Yukari, her old friend leave the building she was on. "Wow, lucky pick." Ayana mused.
Yukari Someya was oblivious to being spied on and walked onto the streets of the town. Wearing a grey sweater under an unzipped leather jacket. She was a greaser. When she walked, she also had her hands in her pockets and looked around suspiciously. As if to make sure she wasn't being watched, but was failing at the task.
Ayana made a mental note of her direction and did the opposite of how she got on. She put her hood back on and resumed trailing the other girl.
From a distance she saw Maki Kamijou walking towards her. Dressed in the signature prep vest.
-POV-[Ayana]
I got off of the building and kept...stalking, as you might call it, Yukari from a large distance. She now walked with Maki. They walked around and after a few steps, I saw them hold hands.
I respect that prep, Maki. But I feel a wierd anger towards her at this moment.
They walked on the sidewalk and through a curve. I ran into an alley and all the way through, after a bit, I peaked from behind the wall I was against saw them coming my way. "Oh sh**!" I ran out of options and jumped foreward and dove into the dumpster as they walked where I was once into the alley.
I peaked out with a banana peel on my head and watched them. But I think I shouldn't have done that because Maki pulled out a bouquet of flowers from who knows where and kneeled. I decided to keep watching adorn where I was, which was inches away.
I saw Yukari turn pink and accept them. Flowers... Why didn't I think of that?
They leaned in and locked lips. Maki you sly dog... I think to myself. I shouldn't watch this. But, Maki looks like an expert, the way she grabs her hands like that. Of course Yukari would chase after this Romeo of a girl who I never stood a chance against.
Why do I feel angry? I just want to jump out and punch them. Especially Maki. But I don't get it, I respect her more than myself.
Is this called jealousy? No. It can't be it...
Me and Yukari are just friends now. Wait, she kinda hates my guts, she puts that point across pretty smoothly. She's obviously moved on. But a prep of all people? She is a greaser- Oh look, they're done doing their romance stuff and are walking back onto the sidewalk. God... It makes me sick how good of a couple they look together.
It's not Maki's fault. She can't help it. But, my willpower is strong and I decide our next targets should be those damn preps.
*Yukari POV*
Maki and I walked through town on the sidewalk, not going anywhere in particular. "So, what's been going on?" I started.
Maki smiled. "Nothing, just wondering about the Chinese girl."
"Oh..." I stopped walking, and so did she. The Chinese girl was a girl who I've been wanting to fight, and she's a literal animal, I mostly wanted to go after her friend, who is a walking translator and thought Maki could take on the Chinese girl.
"Why do you want to fight her, again? She has no problems with you." Maki asked me with a concerned face and tone.
Though only adding to my more own personal guilt. "I'm sorry for dragging you along on this. It's all for my personal gain, I don't want you to get hurt from it." We started walking again.
"I don't mind. I'm just scared." Maki admitted. She started smiling again, and that bothered me.
"If you're so scared, how can you smile like nothing is wrong?"
"Because you're here."
Oh sh**.
Afterwards, the glasses girl sat in the dorm lounge, watching TV. There was nothing in particular on. She mostly just thought about what happened earlier. After a while of thinking about that, she turned to Jun Kuga, who sat on the other side of the couch and stared quietly at the tv, actually watching.
'She is actually quiet for once.' Ayana thought, though she knew that Jun was probably thinking about her half sister that has been in the hospital since the year.. "Jun, you're so quiet that it's... Different."
Jun turned to her and dramatically rested her arm on her forehead. "Different? Is that why you've been closing her eyes when we make love?"
Ayana gaped. "You're disgusting! You pervert!" She remarked as she grabbed jun by shoulders.
"See, now it's forced-" she couldn't finish her teasing sentence, as she was slammed head first into the television glass and Ayana sat back down and stared at the ceiling instead.
The boxing gym was full of rich kids, all of which looked like they were about ready to kick Hayate's ass by glaring at her when she walked past.
Hayate looked around and saw Sou standing in front of the ring. "Ao!"
"Hello Hayate!" Sou greeted. She had just been watching the boxing matches take place. 'Ao?' She thought, referring to her nickname.
The short girl looked up and was instantly intrigued with the boxers in the ring. Punching each others lights out. "Ao, do you box?"
"Yes. But I don't do it everyday. I'm super good at it though!" She said with gusto. "Maybe you should try, Hayate."
Hayate gaped at her. 'Me? No...'
Hayate POV
I'm gonna box! It sounds like its gonna be fun, but this tight uniform is uncomfortable.
I got in the ring from the bottom rooe and looked back at Ao, who hung on to the top rope, "Just punch, duck, block, and dodge. Get it?"
I put my mouth gaurd in. "Yezz." I didn't really get it though.
I turned around and faced a prep girl with shoulder length brown hair. She was a bit taller than me, but who isn't in this society?
The bell rang as my opponent smiled. "I'm gonna beat you like the poor trash you are.
"That's mean." She swung foreword and I ducked. I uppercuted her with my right and punched her stomach with my weaker left hand.
"Sh!" She said through clenched teeth. She shrugged off the punch and tried to hit me in my chest. But I was to fast.
I threw a right hook and got her in the eye. I stepped back and combined moves into a 'Right hood, stomach punch, uppercut' type thing. The girl fell to the floor right before the match ran out of time and the bell rang.
*Ding ding ding*
"Hayate Kurogane wins." Someone with a clipboard announced.
I get out of the ring quickly.
"How did a poor kid beat a rich kid?"
"That's not a fair swing!"
I ignored the hate on my winnings and walked over to Sou and handed her the boxing gloves she lent me, but she gestured for me to keep them and stared at me, "Oh my gosh! That was really good!"
"Gee, thanks."
*Third person POV*
"Sou." A tall dark haired girl walked next to Sou and but a hand on her shoulder, scaring her for a second. "I saw your friend here. She is talented. Maybe she can join our boxing crew."
Sou bounced in excitement. "Really? She can?" She asked hopefully.
"Of course, but you need to get her, say...out of her rags and into more suitable clothes." She said in a faded British accent.
"Y-yes Mizuchi." Sou grabbed Hayate's hand and pulled her outside of the boxing house.
"Woah! Who was that anyway?" The currently being dragged Hayate asked.
"Mizuchi Asakura who is Very rich. She paid for me to go here, when my parents were in debt. I owe her a lot." Sou explained. Literally dragging Hayate from the back of the collar.
Hayate was let go and stood up to follow Sou. "Mhm. I have a similar problem. My sister got arrested, and she had a scholarship here. So they let me take a test, and I was let in on her scholar."
"Wow, why did she get arrested?"
"She beat up a cop."
"..." Sou remained quiet at that and walked up to a door. "Well here we are~"
Hayate looked up at the sign, "Aquaberry?" Sou let go of her and she stood up.
"Yeah, it's a clothing store, you only need one outfit." Once inside, the short girl looked at the clerk. "Mr. George, we need one aquaberry vest and any pair of dress shoes."
Hayate came out of the store with her dark blue vest gone and a light blue vest in its place. Her sneakers also were now classy dress shoes.
"Thanks for paying, Ao-chan." Hayate thanked as she relished her new outfit.
Sou smiled. "No problem. Now you are allowed in our club."
Hayate stopped walking and turned her head, "Wait, what exactly do you do? Just box?"
"Come by tomorrow and you will see."
"Well don't you look fine and dandy. Hehe." Momoka laughed from the top bunk as the short girl walked into the room. "Why do you look like a preppy kid?"
Hayate laughed nervously and scratched the back of her neck. "aha~ you know the girl from the class president election-thingy?"
Momoka pointed to the right, and Hayate saw a poster of Sou Takami with a picture of her on the cover saying: Vote for Sou, nailed into the wall in the room for decoration.
"Her campaign poster and opening act, which was you," she snickered. "Were funny as hell."
Hayate lifted her index finger slowly. "Oh. You know about that..."
"Dude, everyone does. We can dance if we want to, we can leave yo-"
"Shutupshutupshutup!" A red faced Hayate ran out of the room in embarrassment stopped in front of a familiar taller girl.
Ayana looked down and glanced at her. "Are you becoming a prep?"
"No. I was invited to a club thou-"
Ayana cut her off, "Good, because they are next targets." She informed then cracked her knuckles. "And I'm actually getting off my ass for this one."
"Why the rich kids?"
"I have my reasons. But since you mentioned a preppy club, you should get call me when you know the leader better. Mizaki Katanaka."
"Mizaki Katanaka? That doesn't sound right..." Hayate said unsurely. "She seemed to know you really well."
"I wouldn't say I have bad memory... I just can't see sh** with these glasses." Ayana stated. Though it was a fact she had bad memory also.
"But." She said with a raised voice , making Hayate jump, "If they happen to betray you at some point, then that's when you call me."
Hayate nodded and went back into her dorm. "Okay, but I doubt that will happen."
"Oh look, she's here." A tall woman looking girl said.
She was standing next to Sou and some other random prep girl.
Sou was quick to greet Hayate, "Hayate. You made it! This is Mizuchi."
Hayate waved. "Hello!" She piped.
Mizuchi kept her regular poker face, "Hello. So you are the girl who Sou speaks so much about."
Hayate had quickly changed the topic upon hearing her voice. "Umm, are you British?"
"No. But my father is a self made man. And ever since an incident that occurred in my 7th grade year, I have been speaking like this." She said without skipping a beat, "Well, now that you're with us, I would like you to buy a carton of eggs and meet us in the house of a Tenchi gym teacher."
Sou spoke up, "She is getting on a staff member, Benibachi's, case drinking in her office."
"The old madam can have a bloody drink if she bloody hell wants to." Mizuchi ranted. "Quickly. Go buy the eggs and look for the residence. We'll be waiting."
Hayate snapped out of whatever she was thinking of and gave her a straight look. "Sure thing!" After she ran outside and to the store, she got to thinking, 'Why do I do everything people tell me to do?' She shrugged off the thought, as it requires too much thinking.
It was about 15 minutes later that the short girl had bought a carton of eggs from the local market and was on a bike she 'found' looking for the residence.
She didnt know which house to go to, but seeing a group of preps in a yard made her go in to a random mansion.
Mizuchi stood with Sou and a number of well dressed students. Mizuchi had turned her way. "Did you get what I requested?"
Hayate pulled out the carton of eggs. "Here you go."
Mizuchi took them from her hands and gave them to Sou standing right next to her. "Before we start, I just want to ask, who did you hang out with before us?"
"Haha, easy question! I hung out with the bully leader Momoka Kibi, Jun Kuga and best of all, Ayana Mudou." She replied happily. Thinking about her friends, which made her warm a little inside.
Mizuchi was mid on turning her back but a the last name Hayate said triggered something inside of her. "What d-did you say...?" She asked looking pale as she turned back around.
"I said 'Easy question! I hung out with..." She trailed off.
"No! The name you said last." Mizuchi growled. Sou began backing away in confusion.
"Ayana?"
Mizuchi froze in her place, "Ayana Mudou..."
*Flashback*
The start 7th grade.
A shoulder length haired Mizuchi had approached Ayana, who had shorter hair also. And appeared to wear a black zip up jacket and looked like a greaser.
"Mudou." She called. She also appeared to look like a greaser, wearing black leather pants, a black shirt and a blue denim jacket.
Ayana turned around. "Oh hey. Who are you?"
Mizuchi cleared her throat, "I'm Mizuchi Asakura, and I think since we're both greasers, we should umm... Go out sometime."
Ayana smiled. "Um, sorry about that. I'm kinda going out with someone else. But thanks though."
A long haired Yukari stood a few feet away and stared at the two in confusion. 'What?' She thought casually as Mizuchi stared at her blanky.
*End of FlashBack*
"Ayana Mudou... Ayana Mudou... You are friends with Ayana Mudou?" She asked, holding in her temper.
"Yeah... Mrs. Rich-boss, its been like two minutes of you asking me that."
"Mizuchi clenched her teeth, "Sou! Throw the eggs at her. Ladies, kick her ass!" She snapped.
Sou looked between the two, "What? Why?" She asked frantically.
"Because! She is friends with Ayana Mudou. I hate that trash so much!" She screamed.
Sou hesitantly opened the carton and grabbed an egg and threw it at Hayate, who was struggling and fighting other girls who had attacked her on command. The egg hit her in the head and Hayate looked at Sou and tilted her head.
"I'm sorry Hayate. I don't have a choice." Sou ran at her, and repeatedly threw eggs. Hitting the girl several times before Hayate slipped from the other girls grasp and jumped the fence to the house. As the fence door was blocked by preps.
Hayate ran down the streets of the vale. "I knew this would happen! But I'm so confused! I got to talk to Ayana. This is start of world war Rich." After a few stomps of running, she felt egg yolk drip down her face. "...THESE EGGS WERE EXPIRED, EWWW!"
-Race the Vale-
Tenchi dormitory, 5:00 PM
It was already getting dark, but Hayate made it inside the dorm by then. She stopped a random student by grabbing their arm.
"Stranger," Hayate began and held her in place. "Do you know where Ayana's room is."
The regular girl she had asked already knew who she was talking about and got it over with. "It's the last room in the hall on the left." She explained and pointed.
Ayana POV
What was that chicks name again? The leader of the preps, she was like black hair and stuff... I think. F*** it, don't know, don't care. I'm just lying on my bed thinking.
My arms were behind my head and I stared at the top bunk above me. At least I get some peace with Jun visiting her friend or sister or... I don't know. My memory is a little jogged right now.
Maybe that dimwit Kuro has stuff going on. Who knows. All that matters is tha-
"Ayana, Ayana, we have a situation!" Kuro burst into my room. Scaring the crap outta me in the process.
"GOD! WHAT?" I yelled and sat up. The first word out of fear, the second, anger. That little nimrod just sets me off.
She looked like she was in a hurry. "We have a situation. The preps are after us now. I was with them, but when I mentioned you... They just exploded on me." Hayate explained.
I took in her words. Especially the 'me' part. What did I do? "That means we got to hit them hard." I took a minute to think.
"Like how?"
"... They're having a bike race in the vale beach and all across town. If we can beat them at that, then maybe they'll take it hard."
Hayate nodded in disagreement. "No, they're game is boxing."
"Yeah, but they bike race too, I guess." she signalled for them to leave with her right hand. "Whatever, lets just go. We're taking my bike."
"We're?"
"We can't both enter. And change your clothes, you smell like a rotten ass egg."
After retrieving Ayana's bike, Hayate rode on the back side and stood on the pegs of the back wheel, and they rode out of the parking lot.
Ayana's bike was a blue bodied bike she made in shop class years prior. She thought it was still pretty sturdy.
The ride was a quiet one and Ayana focused on the rode and Hayate stared down at her. She opened her mouth to say something but Ayana countered before she could say anything.
"No comments from you."
"What?"
"You're stupid. We're gonna win that bike race against those Harrington bastards and that's all we need to say."
"Okay." The pink haired girl agreed and looked back up with a pout. "Geez."
"You can't say that neither." Ayana deadpanned. They rode done the dock ramp and onto the Vale beach. There was a row of students already gathered there with their bikes. All of them were preps.
There also stood a bike shop owner with a checkered flag in his hand. "More racers?"
Ayana had cruised to the very edge of the line of preps and Hayate had nodded and looked at the adult. "Yep, it's just Batman and Robin on the case."
Ayana closed her eyes in annoyance and gripped the handlebars tighter. "Shut up. No we're not." She growled.
"Stop being so moody, batman!" Hayate announced again. Not just Ayana, but the other preps were also annoyed at the short girls pep.
The shop owner blew a whistle in his right hand and all the bike racers became focused and looked foreward at the long beach. "This is an all around town race! We will have no firecrackers, slingshots, punching, spitting, flashing, or anything that will affect a fellow racer."
He looked and pointed back at a light house a few meters back. "You are supposed to come from behind that lighthouse, or else you're a proven cheater."
Ayana looked up at Hayate. "You should get off or something. Your weight will mess up my speed."
"Nah, it's cool. I like it up here."
The tall girl rolled her eyes. "That's not wha-GET OFF THE DAMN BIKE!"
"On your mark!" The shop owner began.
"Too late." Hayate commented.
The glasses girl looked at the prep next to her, who looked back at her, from the bottom of her bike to her face.
"Get set!"
The prep had given Ayana a mean smirk. "You poor trash never learn your place." She insulted.
Ayana held herself back from jumping off her bike and kicking her ass right there, and just kept a calm demeanor and adjusted her glasses. "Good luck, scumbag."
"Go!" A flag had been waved as all six participants rode foreword and across the beach.
"Woo!" Hayate cheered. "We might be poor, but we ain't poor trash!"
Ayana ignored the short girl's comment and pedalled ahead of the other racers. There was a ramp way that led to the concrete of town. She headed that way but the prep from earlier had caught up to her and kicked her front wheel, causing Ayana the make a forced turn.
"F***!" She was headed into a small wall that leveled the boardwalk from the lower leveled beach. She clutched the handlebars tighter than before and bunny hopped all the way over. Hayate had grabbed onto her neck with her arms.
"How did you jump that high!?"
"This is a really good bike. Now let go!" Ayana elbowed the short girls face enough to get her off.
Hayate let go and grabbed her shoulders again. "Okay, sorry!" She looked foreward and out her hand up to block the sun. "I see em, over there!"
"They suck at racing, lets beat them before they even see us pass them." Ayana stated harshly. Hayate slightly feared her tone, but nodded with a confident smile. Ayana pedaled faster.
After catching up, riding through the mountains, taking various shortcuts, and most of all, being faster to begin with, our protagonists reach the finish line on the beach where they started.
The glasses girl began to slow the bike down and stopped at the shop owner. Exausted as hell. "Oh god... Haah, I won." She panted and layed foreward on the bike handlbars with her arms out.
"Please dont die on us, think about our children." Hayate joked dramatically, with all her energy still lingering, she repeatedly shook her shoulder until she groaned and looked up at the shop owner, who was happy that a rich kid didn't win for once and gladly congratulated them.
"Wow, they are WAY behind, not even close to you guys. The trophy is all yours."
The short girl smiled vigorously. "Yeah!"
The bike shop owner began to walk away, but stopped. "Come to my shop anytime, I'll have the trophy on display." He informed and kept walking.
Hayate leaned down to talk to Ayana. "You said nothing about a trophy."
Before Ayana could answer, she heard a prep stop next to her. She looked to the right at her, only to be met by a punch to the forehead. "Christ!"
Hayate jumped angrily. "How dare you punch my husband that way?"
"I'm going to beat the poor out of you, just wait!" She said with a snarl and began riding off with serious speed.
"You can punch me all you want, you still lost, you worthless scum!" The glasses girl insulted. Immediantly, an angry scream was heard across the beach. Further evidence that Ayana's insults cut right to the bone.
