Episode 4:
First Encounters
"Stop following me." Kate said "Who says I am? I live in the same direction." Rukawa answered. "As if I believe you." Kate said. "I'm not forcing you to." Rukawa said, sarcastically. "Hey." Kate said, as she stopped walking. "What?" Rukawa asked.
"You lost the game."
"So?"
"I know you're still upset about it."
"No, I'm not."
"You let Chris beat you."
"......."
"Why?" Kate asked, facing Rukawa. "none of your business." Rukawa answered, walking to the opposite direction. "Hey, I thought you-" "I live in Alabang Hills Village." Rukawa said coldly. (ChinaEyes: Hmmm...Rich...Rich...juz what I was looking for!)
"So he was following me..." Kate said to herself as Rukawa's figure disappeared in the darkness.
"Kaede Rukawa."
Meanwhile, Hanamichi Sakuragi had his first encounter with a girl as well....
"I can't believe a tensai would lose that game. Amateurs. They're just amateurs for goodness' sake!!!" Sakuragi exclaimed loudly to himself. "Even a what-do-you-call-yourself a ten-sai, can make mistakes." a voice said from behind. "Nanda kora? Who are you?" he asked, turning around. "My name's Joye. I saw you a while ago at the gym."
"Honto?"
"Huh? Ummm...You were great out there!"
"Yeah? Uh, of course was! I'm the tensai! NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!"
Joye laughed shyly. (say-chan: Himura loves the tensai! *laughs like a moron* ChinaEyes: Well...they do have the same personality.)
The next day, at lunch (Friday)
"Kaede!" a voice popped from behind him. Rukawa turned and saw an outstretched hand holding a container full of food. Kate's smile evaded from it. "What's this for?"
"You were pale and everything so I.....cooked you lunch!"
(say-chan: Speaking of food, damnit, I haven't eaten breakfast yet. God , my tummy hurts.... ChinaEyes: I hope I don't spoil Kae-kun's stomach. I'm not really a certified cook! say-chan: WAAAAH! I'd do anything for something sweet just about now! ChinaEyes: I know how to cook eggs...rice...bacon...hotdogs...that's just about it! say-chan: Baka! You're making my tummy hurt even more! And for your info this is LUNCH we're talking about! Teme! ^_^)
Rukawa was stunned at Kate's sudden action and started to eat (say-chan: He had no choice anyway ^_^ ChinaEyes: I would have kicked his ass if he had refused....)
"Thank you." Rukawa muttered, yet sincerity was vague in his voice. Kate blushed. "You're welcome." (ChinaEyes: Pity Kae-kun's stomach! He won't be able to play well later!)
But unknown to them, someone was watching them from a far distance.............
"Damn you, Rukawa!"
After lunch is batch cheering practice time!!!
Batch cheering practice-
Advantages: No subjects! No homeworks! No problemo! FREE TIME!!!
Disadvantages: Scourging sun! Lousy cheers! No school spirit!
Everyone was complaining while fanning themselves, the covered court was filled with swarming students, teachers who were seeing red, fierce-looking prefects (ChinaEyes: Mind you, our prefects are always fierce-looking...) and the bubbly and irritating cheering squad leader.
We were about to started cheering the "Red Hot" cheer when a pest suddenly appeared in the gym door. Coach Higgins beckoned everyone to start moving to a different venue. Reason: We can't fit.
So off we go, crossing the enormous football field, we were like Arabs traveling in the Sahara desert (ChinaEyes: Heck! It was 1:00 in the afternoon!) we settled down on the cold hard bleachers near the football field. There everyone sat uncomfortably and began cheering (ChinaEyes: The teachers were the one cheering, we were busy chatting....) The 2nd years were all mixed together and divided into two groups: One, the 'Bleacher group' (ChinaEyes: Me and the Ryodans included.) and the second is the 'Shades group' (ChinaEyes: They were sitting under the shades of the trees like Indians' camping...) In the middle of our tiring and lousy cheering, we were once more should and moved to another area. Reason: We still can't fit and nobody was cheering anyway....
Since there is no place in the school campus that could accommodate us (ChinaEyes: Except probably the parking lot....) our loving teachers decided that we invaded the Shade's group location. We sat down on the boiling cement where, unfortunately for us, no shade was available anymore. We continued the hateful cheering, the sun's heat making us even more tired and eventually angry..... (ChinaEyes: Our asses are burning! Damnit!)
"Hey, I think ought to know about this Kate!" Dennis was fanning himself with his already soaked handkerchief.
"What?" Kate was not in the mood to talk to anyone, especially under the hot hot sun.
"I heard that Chris is going to challenge Rukawa later...."
"WHAT?" Kate cried, almost standing up.
"Why is that?" Nikki asked Dennis. "'coz he spilled water on you Kate, didn't he?" Dennis was unbuttoning his polo. (ChinaEyes: It's getting hot in here...so take off all your clothes....OH MY!)
"That's a reason?" Nikki raised her eyebrows at him.
"I didn't tell him challenge Rukawa! That idiot!" Kate exclaimed. "Well.....Chris was pretty much annoyed with Rukawa anyway." Dennis said, defending his friend. "That's still not an acceptable reason! " Nikki said firmly and Dennis just shut up.
"This is all my fault...." Kate groaned.
~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~
"Hey, Rukawa!"
Rukawa spun around and saw Chris standing in front of him, smirking. "............"
"Are you up for some one on one?"
"Are you challenging me, d'aho?"
"Why? Are you scared?"
"No."
"Let's go then."
Rukawa and Chris went down to the court and Chris picked up the ball that was on the ground.
"Your fan club's gonna be disappointed when you lose to me..." Chris smirked at Rukawa.
"I'm not gonna lose....." Rukawa said, "Not to you...."
Chris started dribbling the ball with his right hand and started towards the goal with an incredible lightening speed. Rukawa cursed under his breath and chased after him, not taking his eyes off the ball, swishing it off Chris' hands and heading towards the goal on the other side of the court and smashed the ball into the ring before Chris could even reach it.
The sun set upon them, leaving a score of 23-30 in favor of Rukawa. They were both panting and sweating heavily.
"I take back what I said. You are a good player." Rukawa muttered. "But not as good as you." Chris replied with a grin.

Monday (Next week)
Homeroom
"What?" Nikki and Kate exclaimed at the same time. "Yup, you heard right!" Ryota said, "Rukawa beat Sarao."
"I can't believe it...someone's better than Chris." Kate was copying notes at the same time listening to Ryota.
"How did you know? Did Rukawa tell you?" Nikki asked.
"No, Rukawa rarely talks." Ryota said, "I overheard Senedrin saying that Sarao was humiliated after the game so that means that he lost, right?"
"Right." Nikki said. Kate only nodded.
"Everyone stop talking and start singing!!!" Our homeroom and CVE teacher, Ms. Sangel screamed to the noisy class. She has a very very thin body and a face that looks like a- a- (ChinaEyes: Mukha na tinamaan ng asteroid.....^_^)
She was forcing the whole class of second years to sing "Little by Little" (ChinaEyes: With actions pa!). When she started singing, her eerie voice filled the classroom, making all of us sick to our stomachs. Everyone was , instead busy with their own private lecture, Ryota, Kate and Nikki had spent 15 minutes discussing about the match of Rukawa and Chris.
English
(ChinaEyes: We just wanted to share what is happening in every class........even if it's not really related to this fic but it can be quite entertaining and it's all the TRUTH.)
During English period, Ms. Cancino shocked us by announcing that 15 of us failed. Of course, there was a stampede on the teacher's desk and as Ms. Cancino tried to stop the flood of questions that was drowning her, several students were able to peep in her records-
"Miss, did I fail?"
"How got a higher mark? The girls or the boys?"
"Miss, did I fail in my conduct...miss!"
"Can you give me a 75 pleez.....have mercy!!!!!!" (ChinaEyes: Yup! A lot of people started worshipping Ms. Cancino... how awful!)
Ms. Cancino being her usual cheerful and sweet self (ChinaEyes: You should see her when she's mad! Really mad!!!) asked the people who failed to see her during break time and maybe she'll give them another chance........
Social Studies
Mr. Cordova entered the room and the noisy class was startled by his gorilla-like voice (ChinaEyes: And no, he does not look like Gori......) "Let us put ourselves in the presence of God..."
Mr. Cordova is ummm...bald and he can be scary at times but he an OK teacher. (ChinaEyes: Don't argue with him though.. he has a gun license.) He started discussing about Iraq and it's government....blah.....blah......blah.......
Ten minutes before the bell, he gave a quiz: make our own test paper and answer it at the same time. YESSSS! He made an example on the board, writing the instructions of the test. "Modify True or False!" he growled. "Example: Yugoslavia is a part of Asia! The underlined word is Asia! True or False!"
"FALSE!!!!" the whole class chorused.
"Yes, it is false. And to make it correct you have to change the underlined word to -"
"Sir, I know, Sir!" Vincent shouted, proudly raising his hands. "It's Iraq!" Mr. Cordova turned to look at him,
"HELLO!!!!!!!" he thundered, making the whole building shake. "WHAT PLANET DID YOU COME FROM?"
Vincent was already squeaking like a little mouse and everyone's eardrum's were severely damaged. He went on: "HE HE HE HE HE HE HE HE HE HE HE HE HE.................." (ChinaEyes: His laugh was sooooo scary that time....)
"No my poor student.....it's Europe."
~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~
Recess (ChinaEyes: Okay, this part is already related....no more sharing!)
"Who are you looking for?" Nikki asked Kate whose head was spinning like a compass in every direction. They were passing the gazebos and head to the canteen.
"Rukawa........Rukawa......." she muttered. Nikki sighed then spotted something interesting.........
"Hey, look!" she cried, pointing in that direction.
"What? Rukawa?" Kate quickly jumped.
"No....." Nikki rolled her eyes. "Look...."
Near the gazebo, two people stood: Raine and Vincent!
"Looks like Vincent is offering to carry her books." Kate whistled.
"They do look good together." Nikki added. Suddenly a hand draped on Nikki's shoulder from behind. It was- Dennis!
Nikki quickly shoved his arm away. " Ewww.... get your hand off me!"
"What the hell are you doing here anyway?" she glared at him. "Nothing......."
"I heard Chris lost to Rukawa last Friday." Kate said, no emotion came from her voice.
"Yeah, he did." Dennis said. "So what happened?" Nikki asked.
"No idea......." Dennis answered as the bell rang. "We better go", he said pulling Nikki's hand up the stairs to their room.
Math
Sir Bañados is our very slim Math teacher....he has quite a short temper especially on the boys and can be really irritating sometimes (ChinaEyes: He's voice I mean...and his err-moves....^_^) but overall he's a great teacher.
The class was like a tornado , papers were flying in every direction, nobody was listening and was shouting loudly at each other, there were a few that were not in their proper places........Sir Bañados kept pausing every now in then to minimize the noisy, while giving his class that 'I'm already pissed off' glare.
Almost everyone believed that apocalypse was coming because Dennis was reciting and was really attentive. (ChinaEyes: Probably wanting to impress Nikki....) He even attempted to answer the hardest problem with the help of, of course, Nikki. (ChinaEyes: Though I doubt he could clearly see the board with that shades of his....weird.)
Bio-Lab
Sir Manahan (ChinaEyes: My "favorite" teacher....) was giving out instruction to the class......
Everyone was paired up and started doing their experiment. Almost everyone did as they were told but still we could not see anything in our microscope, Dennis could have sworn that all of our microscopes were broken! We were supposed to cut up some root then drop some icky liquid on it.....but nobody got it correctly until-
"Hey, can I look?" Dennis asked Nikki who was peeping on the eyepiece.
"Sure" Nikki stepped aside. Suddenly Dennis' mouth twitch and a grin formed. "Huh? What's so funny?" Nikki asked.
"It's so ugly!' exclaimed Dennis. "Well...Let me see yours then!" Nikki peeped on Dennis' microscope.
"EEEEEEEEEEEWWWWW!!!"
"HA HA HA! I put a lot of that red liquid Sir gave us...now it looks like a girl's-"
"PERVERT!!!"

Sakuragi was whistling as he headed towards the gym, he was very happy because for the first time ever he was on time for his practice.
"Hey! Sakuragi Hanamichi!" a voice from behind shouted at him.
"Eh?" he turned and came face to face with non other than Kevin Mizuchi. "Nani? Teme....."
"There could only be one genius in this school!" Kevin shouted. "And that's-"
"ME!" Both of them cried at the same time.
"Let's just settle this on a fair game......" Kevin smirked. "Tomorrow."
"At the gym!" Sakuragi shouted, pointing at him. "Prepare to lose to me!!!
"NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAA!"
"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
