Another long chapter, haha! I hope you guys like it! :D Please review.
"Hey, guys, guess who I brought," Yukimura said as he walked toward the regulars who were having lunch. Kirihara was stealing food from Marui, which ended with the third year chasing him trying to get his food back. Sanada scolded them and told them to sit down to eat their lunch quietly.
"Hey, Miyuki!" Kirihara cheerfully waved to her to tell her to sit next to him. "I was wondering where you were. Here, I got your lunch!" He showed Miyuki her lunchbox wrapped in light green cloth.
"How did I know that you would grab my lunch for me?" Miyuki asked herself. She sat down in between Kirihara and Jackal. "Thanks," she bowed her head a little when he handed her the lunch box.
"Are you okay now, Miyuki?" Marui asked in concern. He was still worry about what happen to her. In fact, he wasn't able to concentrate in class at all. He was yelled by the teacher to pay attention at least three times.
"Yeah, I'm fine now. Thanks," she smiled widely.
"Oh, Niou-kun, there you are. Where have you been?" Yayguu asked when Niou walked toward them looking annoyed.
"I was asked by another girl for a date," Niou putted his hands in his pocket.
"Again? That's the fifth time this month," Yanagi said as he entered that into his data.
"Miyuki!" Mai yelled across the courtyard when she finally had found her friend. "Finally, do you know how long I been looking for you? I was worried sick! Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Why?" Miyuki shockingly said repeating what she had just said a few moments ago.
"Why?" Mai wondered how dense her friend can be. "You ran out the class like you were going to puke!"
"You must be Mai. Nice to meet you, Miyuki told us a lot about you," Yanagi said when he realized who Miyuki was talking to.
"Ye… Yes, I am… It's… a… honor… to meet you too…" Mai stumblingly said as she just figured out that a regular had talk to her and it's not Kirihara. She also did a full 90 degree bow. "What did you say to them?" Mai grabbed Miyuki at the arm and asked in whisper so that only she can hear. Mai had hope that she did not say any embarrassing thing about her.
"Nothing! Why are you so upset?" Miyuki surprisingly asked. She didn't tell them about how Mai had walked into the wrong restroom twice, or how people had thought she was a boy when she was little. Her mom had try to cut her hair and ended up leaving her hair up to the ears. Although, she wouldn't mind telling them those stories since Mai had told these stories to friends who are girls before, so she thought it was okay to tell the story to anyone.
"Mai-kun, why don't you have lunch with us? Lunch is almost over anyway, so there's no point of trying to go somewhere else to eat," Yagyuu kindly asked her.
"Really, may I!? This is great! It's like a dream come true! This is the greatest day of my life! I have to…" Mai stopped herself when she realized all the regulars were giving her the "she's a weirdo, stay away from her" look. Miyuki was also giving her the "stop talking, please, you're embarrassing yourself" look. "I mean I'm honor to dine with you!" She did a nice lady bow toward them.
"She's trying way too hard…"Everyone immediately thought as soon as she had bow.
"Anyway, let's eat!" Miyuki tried change the subject so Mai wouldn't embarrass herself any further. She happily opened her box until she saw what's inside. "Akaya, did you open my lunch box?"
"Yeah, why?" Kirihara asked with a mouthful of rice.
"Cuz half my meat is gone and I'm pretty sure they're in your stomach right now screaming 'get me out of here'!" Miyuki angrily said shaking his neck as if she was trying to make him throw it back up.
"Stop! You gonna make me puke!" Kirihara dizzily cried trying not to choke on the rice he had just stuffed down his throat.
"You deserve it!" Miyuki shook him few more times before stopping to eat her lunch.
"Ding-Dong, Ding-Dong!" The bell sounded it off to warn the students that they have about five minutes to head to class.
"We should go now. Class is starting," Jackal reminded everyone.
"Yeah, you're right," Yagyuu agreed. As soon as he said that, everyone started to pack up their lunch and ready to leave. When everyone's done, Yukimura said goodbye to everyone and headed to class while everyone else followed him.
"Wait, Niou-sempai," Miyuki grabbed Niou at the wrist to hold him. She said in a whisper so that no one will hear her beside him.
"What is it?" Niou asked casually.
"What did you do to that picture?" Miyuki asked. When she saw the confused look on Niou, she continued to explain further. "Marui-sempai doesn't look like he knew anything. So you must have done something. What did you do?"
"Why do you care? I fix everything, so there's nothing to worry about!" Niou reasoned with her wondering why she wasn't just satisfied with the result.
"I know, but I just want to know. I mean it is about me, so I deserve to know," Miyuki looked at the ground guilty. She knew she probably shouldn't ask this, but she couldn't help herself for being curious.
"Man, you're a hard girl to please," Niou scratched his head annoyingly.
Classroom 3-B, before school starts
"Ah, Marui, I forgot one of my tennis rackets. Can you get it for me?" Niou realized when he searched in his tennis bag to find a textbook.
"What? No way! Do it yourself, lazy!" Marui complained. They just got back from practice, and he does not want to go all the way down to the tennis court again just to get Niou's forgotten racket.
"Just do it! Or else I'll disguise as you and do something embarrassing!" Niou threated.
"You already do that!" Marui pointed out.
"Fine, then how about this: if you do it, then I promise I won't disguise as you for a week!" Niou raised his right hand to swear this promise.
"Make it a month, and you got a deal," Marui raised the bar of the promise.
"Fine, just go!" Niou started to push him toward the stair. As soon as he couldn't see Marui anymore, he pulled out a red wig and grinned. "After this, puri."
"Yo, Kamie!" Niou disguised as Marui cheerfully waved to her.
"Ma… Marui-sama" Kamie stumbled out those words. The blush on her face was as red as the color on Marui's hair. This wasn't the first time Marui had talk to her, but every time he does, she felt like her heart is beating twenty times faster than normal. "Did… did you… need something?"
"Yeah, can I borrow your phone for a sec?" Marui (Niou) grinned pointing a finger to his face.
"Of… of course, you may!" Kamie looked through her bag roughly to find her phone. "Here… here you go! Why do you need it, Marui-sama?" Kamie asked curiously when she handed him her phone.
"Cuz I want to add my phone number to it," Marui (Niou) casually said as he pressed the up and down bottoms on her phone. Although in reality, he was really searching for that picture of Miyuki.
"You're doing what!?" Kamie screamed and almost fainted if it weren't for her friends being there to catch her.
"Yep, and there you go," he handed over her phone to her once he had found the picture and deleted. "See you around then." He gave her quick wave and started walking toward the classroom.
"I can't believe it! Marui-sama actually put his number in!" Kamie fan-screamed with her friends. They were also jumping around in circle cheering.
"See, you have liked a thousand times better chance with Marui than that idiot, Miyuki!" Chiyoko agreed with her.
"Ya, totally!" Emiko backed her up.
"Stupid fangirls… They only think about themselves…" Niou thought when he overheard their conversation as he was walking away.
"And that's what happen," Niou finished his story.
"So you tricked her, surprise, surprise," Miyuki narrowed her eyes thinking she could have just thought this herself without even to ask. "So did you even put any numbers in?"
"Oh, no, I did, but it's not Marui's. If I did, Marui would know it's me for sure, and would want to murder me." Niou said while giving her a look that said 'I would love to see him try though.' "I just put a random third year male student as Marui's number. It could be a blessing or a curse for him." He said shrugging his shoulders.
"I… I see," Miyuki sweat-dropped wondering what that poor lad would do when Kamie texts him or worse calls him. "Well, thanks for telling me that, and we should get to class."
"One more thing," Niou called after her. "If you have any more problems just tell us, we'll protect you. I promise."
"Thanks, Niou-sempai," Miyuki cheered as she jagged away.
"Oh, wait, you should come and watch the practice today!" Niou thought of one more things.
"Okay, I will!"
"Finally, school is over! I thought I won't be able make it!" Kirihara whined as he put his head on his desk tiredly.
"What do you mean 'won't make it'? You were asleep for most of it!" Miyuki teased when she heard that comment.
"That's because I got an awesome new fighting game this weekend. Once I started, I couldn't put the controller down! I was staying up till like 2 o'clock last night," Kirihara explained.
"Then it's your fault for staying up late," Miyuki gave him no comfort. "You should get ready, or else Sanada fuku-buchou is definitely going to kill you." She started to walk toward the door.
"Speaking of that," Kirihara caught up with her. "Miyuki, can I ask you a favor?"
"What?" She looked back at him as she opened the door.
"Can you get Marui-sempai's cake for me?" Kirihara asked. "He said it's at the Home Ec Room. He told me to get it, but as you just said if I'm late again, Sanada fuku-buchou is definitely going to kill me."
"You guys are so needy!" Miyuki whined. "Why can't Marui-sempai get it himself?" She can't understand why the regulars can practice for 5 hours straight, and yet they can't do something that took only 5 minutes.
"He had the same reason as me, haha," Kirihara guilty laughed scratching his head.
"Why did you even agree to it then?" She wondered. Before Kirihara had a chance to explain, she continued. "Second thought, don't bother answering that. Fine, I'll do it. But you own me big time!"
"Yes, thank you, Miyuki. You're the best," Kirihara patted her on the head.
"Why do all of you do that?" Miyuki asked remembering everyone on the team had done that to her at least once.
"Because to us, you're like a little sister!" Kirihara rubbed her head some more.
"Why do you do it then? You were born 2 months after me!" She pointed out the fact. (Kirihara was born on September 25, while Miyuki was born on July 16)
"Because you're my best friend,"Kirihara reasoned with her.
"You can stop now," Miyuki gently pushed his hand away from her head.
"Okay, well, I should go, see you later, Miyuki," Kirihara waved to her while started running toward the stairs.
"Bye-bye," Miyuki waved back to him. "Home Ec Room, here I come."
Home Ec Room
"Kamie, that cake looks perfect!" Chiyoko smiled when Kamie carefully took the vanilla cake out of the oven.
"Ya, that is the best cake I have ever laid my eyes on," Emiko agreed.
"And now, all it needs is some decoration, and it'll be perfect for Marui-sama," Kamie looked at her creation. She then grabbed some whip cream and strawberry and started to decorate them.
"Home Ec Room, there it is," Miyuki opened the door without realizing Kamie and her friends were in here. She looked around the room and found it extreme messy. The tables around the four corners were full of cakes or pies that the students had made. In the middle, there were six tables for people to bake. At one of the tables, she found that Kamie and her friends were carefully decorating a cake. "You know what. I can come back later." She said quietly and started to walk away.
"Wait, brat!" Kamie yelled after her. "What's the rush?"
"Oh, nuts," Miyuki halted. She turned around and gave them a weak smile. "I just remember I have somewhere else to go, so see ya!"
"I know why she's here," Emiko snapped her finger. "She's trying to impress Marui with a cake." Miyuki stopped when she heard Emiko's comment.
"Is that so?" Kamie glared at her. "Well, you got no chance anyway, because obliviously Marui-sama is into me!"
"What? No, I… Never mind," Miyuki sighed knowing full well that Kamie does not or refuses to listen to her. And when she does, somehow she always gets the wrong ideas. "Look, why do we have to be enemies anyway? Why can't we just be friends? I got nothing against you, so why are you against me?"
"'Why we can't be friends?' she said," Chiyoko mocked her.
"You know full well why we can't be friends!" Kamie glared at her. "One, Marui-sama is mine. Two, I hate you. And three, Marui-sama is mine!"
"Those are horrible reasons," Miyuki sighed not meeting Kamie's eyes. As she was looking at the side, she spotted a cake with a tag that says "Marui Bunta, 3B." "Oh, look, I found what I was looking for." She hurriedly ran toward the cake, took it, and stuffed the tag into her pocket to make sure Kamie did not see her grabbing Marui's cake. "Well, see you later, Kamie. I'm sorry we can't be friends, but I wish you good luck with Marui-sempai." Not that you have any chance with him, but. She thought the last part in her head. She quickly ran out the door while making sure that the cake is okay.
"I really don't like her," Kamie concluded when Miyuki left the room.
"Wait, Kamie, wasn't that Marui's cake?" Emiko asked when she remembered Marui putted his cake right there after he finished it today.
"Ya, it is," Kamie casually said. "Wait, what!?" Kamie screamed after a few seconds of thinking.
I'm tired now... I finish writing this in the weekend. I didn't have anytime to write during the week. I have so much homework :( But anyway, I'm still going to try my best to update this often!
