Chapter Three - And When You Lose Your Cool
Grabbing her tennis bag, Rukita walked quickly to where the grade one classrooms were. She scanned the signs on top of the doors until she found one that read 'one two'
'That's the one'
She put on her warmest smile and pushed the door open; she had to present a good first impression. But the first thing she saw when the door opened made her wipe the smile off her face.
'Out of all the grade one classes I could have been in, why did I end up in the same class as HIM!'
Rukita hastily took the only seat that was left (which just happens to be behind Ryoma) and prepared herself for the first class, history. She had only just bent down to unzip her tennis bag when the door was practically kicked open by their teacher.
Rukita screamed in shock.
'Uh oh… Not good.'
Rukita had stopped breathing. She was a genius wasn't she? First she humiliated herself in front of Ryoma by not knowing her own name, then she called the tennis coach an 'old woman' in front of everyone and just now, she had screamed like a girl.
"Tomoko, you should be used to my entrances by now." Their teacher said.
Rukita couldn't believe her luck. She wasn't the only one who screamed. The exact same moment she screamed, Tomoko had screamed as well… All the attention focused onTomoko rather than herself.
"Oh. My. God. That was close…" Rukita muttered under her breath.
The teacher then continued and told the whole class about a new boy who was joining their class. He asked for Rukita to come out to the front of the room and give a quick self introduction.
Rukita looked blankly at the teacher.
"What am I meant to say?"
"Oh, just the usual name, age, hobbies and family"
Rukita closed her eyes for a few seconds. She ran through the answers in her head to make sure nothing would give her away.
"My name is Yukito Ryuka and I'm 13. My hobbies include tennis and…"
'THINK OF SOMETHING A GUY WOULD DO!' Her inner self screamed at her.
"Eating foods that boys eat!"
'…' Her inner self slapped her. 'BAKA'
"Oww…" Rukita said quietly.
The whole class was just silent. Everyone had blank, confused looks on their faces. Most of them were probably thinking: 'weeeeeiiiirdo'. Ryoma didn't seem to even notice she was talking.
"My family consists of my mum, my dad and me… that's about it" Rukita ended with a big smile.
"I see…" The teacher said slowly. "Where are you from Yukito? Why did you move to Seigaku?"
Rukita stopped smiling instantly and her cheerful voice disappeared.
"Hyotei and tennis." She replied bluntly and walked briskly to her seat.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASP!
"HYOTEI!" exclaimed the guys in the class (minus Ryoma).
"OHMIGOSH!" shrieked the girls in the class.
Rukita closed her eyes. She had prepared for this reaction this morning, nothing extraordinary. She had actually prepared for something worse like… people shaking phone numbers out of her or people throwing tomatoes at her. She even brought a change of clothes in case that happened.
There was an awkward silence when Rukita didn't reply to any of the comments and everyone else was just sitting there with their mouths wide open.
A yawn broke the silence.
Ryoma rubbed his eyes and looked around the classroom. Everyone was in a state of surprise. Besides himself, the only other person who looked normal was 'Ryuka'. The teacher then decided that no more discussion on the new kid was to be made andthatthe history lesson was to begin.
The whole day of school was uneventful. That is, if you call getting stalked by your class 'uneventful'. Rukita even ran to the (boys') toilets and stayed there for most of lunch to escape questions like, "Did you get kicked out by Hyotei?" and "OH MY GOD! DO YOU KNOW ATOBE IN PERSON!"
The bell for the end of the day sounded sooner than expected. Rukita stood up and quickly walked out of the door. A group of students followed her. Maybe… this boy was going to put a super bomb in the Seigaku tennis changing room, so that it would explode and make them all injured so they couldn't compete.
Ummm… Close, but not quite.
Rukita walked straight towards Ryuuzaki's office. She found it and kicked the door open.
'Well, at least I learnt SOMETHING in history'
The door flew open and slammed into the wall with a loud BANG! Rukita had only been expecting Ryuuzaki-sensei to be in the room, but there was one other person.
A girl with brown eyes and her hair tied in two braids suddenly looked fearful of the boy who had just bust in. Rukita slammed the door closed to stop the group who followed from listening.
Rukita was already tired and pissed off from what happened today. If she was still thinking clearly, she would have asked the girl to leave. But she wasn't.
"Okay old woman, what the hell do you want to know?" Rukita said, in her normal voice.
And Sakuno's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Y… Y… You… You're a… g..g..girl!"
Rukita reached up to her annoying wig and took it off, throwing it on the ground, her long black hair exposed.
"Damn straight I am!"
