Writing Cards
Purple. Chocolate. Stars
Summer homework sucks.
Sure, she had finished most of it at the beginning of the vacation, but there was always something she forgets; something she ignores with all her might, but eventually it returns to slice her throat.
Math homework.
Since she only has a few weeks of her summer left (and is considerably bored) she promised herself that she would not leave the room until she finished it. That way, she'll be able to relax for the rest of her summer.
She groaned as she stared down the first question, calculating in her mind. Why couldn't it be simpler like English where you just have to write your brains out?
Arisa sped through the questions, and within an hour she had completed all 60 questions on 3 pages (more or less). She stretched her arms out and bounced into the kitchen, out of the room.
At the table sat Kuukai with his own summer homework laid out in front of him.
For the past few days, she hasn't seen him much due to his soccer training camp that took up most of his day and when he got home, he'd eat, shower then head straight to bed.
"Yo," she greeted, pulling a water bottle from the fridge.
He glanced up at her and grinned, but reverted his attention back to the papers in front of him.
After taking a swing of the water, she peeked over his shoulder and gaped in the complicated 9th grade math he was working on.
:Jeez Kuukai, what are you doing leaving all your summer homework to the last weeks?" Arisa teased, poking him on the cheek.
He pouted, "Says you; you were the one flying through the 60-question-pack-of-death. Plus its not like I can help it, I have training camp nearly everyday now."
"Mou…what are you even training for?" She groaned.
Kuukia sighed and tried concentrating on his work, "Its so that I can make the Regulars in next year's soccer team moron."
The image of a calendar appeared in her mind. There was exactly 1 week until Kuukai's birthday, but…his training thingamajig is Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays so that means…
"EH? So you're not going to be home on your birthday?"
He shrugged, "It's not like I can help it."
She pouted and sat down across from him. She took one of the closed textbooks and opened it, skimming over the pages.
After almost 20 straight minutes of silence, Arisa stood up and leaned over the table poking Kuukai on the forehead.
Since there was a week, she assumed that it'd be normal to ask him what he wanted for his birthday.
"Yo, what do you want for your birthday?" she asked, blowing a sudden burst of air into his face.
He grinned and poked her back the end of his pencil, "I don't know. But if you can get someone to get groceries that'd be nice."
She laughed and backed up. Of course she agreed. Kaido had promised to buy the groceries, but he was unreliable as ever and was in the middle of an 'outing' with Sion-san.
"But I'm sure whatever you give me would be fine Arisa-chan." He slammed his remaining books shut and proceeded into his room.
She sat there in silence, blushing slightly. Her arm reached for a scrap piece of paper he had left behind and she pulled out a pen she kept in her pocket and wrote.
Happy birthday Kuukai-kun,
We always leave math till the end,
And I know you're my friend,
But 'anything' I give you can't be that good.
She gave a shocked look at the message. Finally, a message that was actually completed.
