Mukahi Gakuto in First Grade - Chapter Three
2ND DAY OF CLASS
"Cookies!!" all of the children cheered. "And milk!" they added. "Cookies and milk!!" they finished all together.
Gakuto rested his chin on his palm and sighed. "That was… the most retarded thing I have ever heard."
Megumi pointed at him and said, "Well… you're the most retarded person I have ever seen!!" she shot at him.
Gakuto rolled his eyes. "Do you even know what the word 'retarded' means?"
"Of course! I'm not dumber than you," she said, sticking a tongue out at Gakuto.
Everyone in the room starting muttering words.
Kyo sood up. "That's Megumi for you! She won't lose to anyone! Especially someone like YOU!!" he said, pointing at Gakuto.
"Why. You. Little. Brat!" Gakuto said as he made his way around the room, chasing after Kyo. "Come here, you little twerp!"
Kyo munched on his cookie as he ran. He laughed at Gakuto. "Retard!"
"Mukahi-kun! Kyo-kun! That's enough! Next time you do this, I will call your parents, understand?" Izumi-sensei warned.
The two sat down on the playing mats like good little kids. Except, they had bumps on their head due to Izumi-sensei's punishment.
Megumi crossed her arms and smirked. "Pathetic."
"Why does this kid know so much complicated words?!" Gakuto said, getting frustrated.
"It's because Megumi-chan ranks 1st in our class," Kyo explained. "I myself rank 6th!" he said proudly.
Gakuto rolled his eyes. Again. "Whatever. By the end of this school year, I'll be rank 1!" he laughed evilly.
Everyone laughed hard. "As if you could beat Megumi-chan!" a random kid said.
"Oh yes, I could!"
"Nu-uh!"
"Uh-huh!"
"Nu-uh!"
Megumi snapped. "Shut up!"
Everyone silenced.
"Good," the girl smiled.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Everyone was at the track and field. They were about to have a race between Kyo and Gakuto.
"On your mark, get set, GO!" the referee shouted. And they were off.
"Woah! Mukahi-senpai is catching up with Kyo!" everyone cheered. "Kyo! Run faster!"
"I won't lose to someone like you!" Gakuto shouted. "I was once part of the tennis club regulars, you know! Don't underestimate me!"
"Heh! We'll see about that!"
They both sped up; it was already the last lap.
The girls in their class cheered, "Kyo-sama!!"
"What the hell?! Kyo… sama?!"
And they finished! Guess who won?
"Kyo-sama was awesome!!" the girls cheered. "He really beat Mukahi-senpai! Awesome!"
Gakuto sulked. Why? Why?! he asked himself over and over again. "Why are these first graders so…"
"We're not stupid," they all said, surrounding him. "We're just plainly smart and awesome," they smirked.
BACK IN THE CLASSROOM
"Everyone did well during P.E. today! I'm so proud!" Izumi-sensei beamed at her students. "Cookies for everyone! Line up!"
Gakuto stretched out his hand and Izumi-sensei dropped a cookie in his palms. "Here you go, Mukahi-kun."
"…T-thank… y-you…"
"Is something the matter, Mukahi-kun? You seem troubled."
"N-n-n-n-n-o…"
The children glared at him. "Y-y-yes… nothing's wrong," he repeated.
DISSMISSAL
"How was class today, Gakuto?" his former doubles partner asked him. "Did you learn anything new?" he smiled.
He cuddled up to Yuushi. "…N-never underestimate first g-graders…" he shivered.
Yuushi touched his forehead. "You're sick. What happened?"
"…" No answer.
"Fine. I'll take you home," the tensai said as he swept Gakuto from the ground.
THAT NIGHT
Yes! I'm sick! I won't be going to school tomorrow! Away from those stupid first graders! he thought happily.
