Another update for you guys. So, I was looking at the reviews of the last chapter, and felt like I needed to post another chapter at the sight of so many petitions. And, here it is. See why you need to review your favorite stories? Makes the author's conscience kick her in the guts and order her to update xD.

Important PAIRING NEWS: As you saw in chapter 7, Takaaki appeared in the story. I just want you to know that I won't decide who Miyako will be ending with. This decision will be made by the reviewers. Please include which pairing you want it to end in your review (TakaakixMiyako or BoomerxMiyako). The pairing with more votes will be the one who'll end. The votes will be counted in the reviews of THIS CHAPTER ONLY.
Warnings: Stupidity, humor, coarse language.
Disclaimer: I don't own.
Inspiration: Your reviews and my hyperactive (and overly-imaginative) mind.
Chapter 9: Too Damn Dramatic
(Normal POV)
Monday always has to be one of the most troublesome days in the week. Honestly, is the day all the studying and homework begin. Every single hour is pure agony to the student body, except maybe recess time.
For Sakamoto, this period is the worst.
If you thought a troublemaker such as Sakamoto would love this part of the day, you're wrong. At least if you're talking of a troublemaker who has been "promoted" to hall monitor. He used to love this time of the day, but the principal gave him the position as a correction, a desperate way to make his jokes stops.
Said boy leaves his classroom, looking at the corridor in boredom. He always has to leave 15 minutes earlier to start his duties in his territory, if not the work could get more difficult; with all those students moving him out of the way and ignoring his orders.
He passes some closed classrooms to get into his usual spot, letting a heavy sigh when arriving.
"This work is so boring; it's not fair I'm the one who got it!"
A girl passes in front of him, heading to a bathroom. He recognizes her as Kaoru Matsubara, one of the cheerleaders and one of the prettiest girls in the school. Of course, Sakamoto could care less of her perfect appearance. The brunette secretly nick-names her "The impatient bitch", that's how much he hates her.
He is about to ask her for her permit, only getting shut down by said cheerleader.
"Don't bother, I have it in here" she declares, getting her hall pass from her khaki-colored trousers. He frowns, not liking her attitude. How could Momoko deal with her, was a mystery to him.
Ah, Momoko Akatsutsumi. She was the girl of his dreams. Perfect inside and outside, and the best was she treated him normally.
The bell rings making a crowd of students form almost instantly, all of them happy that the recess finally started. Sakamoto sighs, looking out for students breaking the school's law.
"Sakamoto!"
He turns to find Kaoru's form, "What do you want?"
Kaoru's right eye twitches at the foul attitude of the male, but decides to let it slide, for now.
"Here's the hall pass for you to leave it on the classroom. I was in room 8b".
Sakamoto frowns at the order, "The hell? Don't be a fruitcake and leave it yourself!"
"I can't, genius; remember?"
Sakamoto groans as the information comes to his mind. If a student asks for a hall pass but doesn't return it to the teacher before the end of the class, it's the student responsibility to take it to the hall monitor. Only he can enter the classrooms when they are empty.
He takes the hall pass, giving her a dark expression. She only lets her green eyes roll. He was too damn dramatic.
"Kaoru, oh…hey Sakamoto!"
Orange eyes widen when Momoko walks towards them with Miyako at her side, a stack of papers trapped between her chest and arm. He gulps, suddenly self-conscious of his appearance.
'Why couldn't I brush my hair today? Damn, now she'll think I'm some kind of dirty kid!'
Momoko finally arrives to them, totally oblivious to Sakamoto's torturing thoughts of his appearance, "Hey Kaoru, Miyako and I have been looking for you everywhere!"
Kaoru smiles, looking apologetically at her. Sakamoto turns to both Momoko and Kaoru, looking the raven-haired's peaceful expression.
"Hey, Sakamoto…"
He blinks, realizing he stared at Kaoru all the time. He looks how she sends him a disgusted look, while Miyako giggles and Momoko just smiles. He feels his cheeks get warm, turning to the orange-haired girl. He groans mentally, knowing the now they must think he has a crush on the tomboy. What a nice day is turning out to be for him.
"What's the matter, Momoko?"
She takes one of the papers, giving it to him. Sakamoto grabs it, reading its contents. His eyes widen once again when his eyes look at the words printed on the paper. It is a birthday flyer with a small map.
He feels happiness swell on his chest, feeling euphoric and with a strong need to jumb and dance a silly routine. He gives Momoko his best smile, "You're inviting me to your birthday party?"
Momoko nods, "Yes, the address and a small map are on the paper".
Miyako let's a smile pool on her lips at the sight of the boy, "We three hope you can be in there with all of us, Right Kaoru?"
He turns to the raven haired girl, who only shrugs, "Sure, why not"
The feeling of hatred towards his day slowly disappears, being replaced by victory. His dream of getting Momoko to be his girlfriend maybe isn't so crazy...
"Kaoru!"
A tall raven haired boy appears, his hand taking Kaoru's own. Sakamoto looks curiously at the boy, trying to recognize him from somewhere.
"Butch, why do you always appear? Don't you have school?" Momoko chastises, glaring at the new addition to their talk. He only smirks.
"Sure I have, I already got out"
Looking at the papers on her possession, he grabs one of them rudely, leaving a fuming Momoko, "A party today? It's your birthday?"
She sighs angrily, "Today is my birthday, but the party is on Friday".
He smirks, gripping the paper on his hand, "Great, congratulations…my brothers and I will be sure to appear on your party"
Momoko feels her blood boil at his words, looking how he takes Kaoru away from the scene.
Sakamoto blinks in confusion, "Who was that guy?"
Momoko growls, making Sakamoto feel bad for her, "He's just a jerk who is trying to get into Kaoru's pants…"
Miyako sighs, rubbing her shoulder softly, "Come on Momoko, we need to go".
Her friend nods, giving the hall monitor one last smile, "Well, see you later!"
They both turn around, their eyes searching for more people to invite. Sakamoto blinks in confusion at what just happened. He turns towards the space where the stranger had appeared, looking at that direction.
"I've seen him somewhere…I don't remember where it was!"
A growl leaves his lips, his hand crumpling the paper unconsciously. The texture of the invitation makes him stop his thoughts, turning to the slight crumpled paper. A new smile appears on his lips, the happiness reaching his eyes.
"Momoko invited me to her birthday party!"
/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
The soccer area of the school is always occupied by the cheerleaders and the football team at the end of the school day, both sports aiming to practice more of their routines and tactics. The bleachers are always being used by different other people, sitting there in order to see the teams' practice or to just have a comfortable conversation with their friends.
Butch observes with a smile how his best friend (or "soon-to-be-lover" for him) practices, looking how she dances the routine with incredible elegance. It's amazing how much the other's attitude has changed towards the sport.
Even though she still hates the uniform, she seems content with the routine; after all, it is very difficult to make and requires energy and guts to complete the jumps she must do.
Hell, she's even smiling now.
The sudden movement of the bleachers gets his attention, turning to see his two brothers walking towards him. They both smile at their brother, rushing their steps to sit down next to him. They both turn to the front, looking how Butch's love interest makes her routine.
"Wow, she's really good" Brick mutters, getting Boomer nod numbly. Butch smirks, feeling proud.
"I know", he mutters, a small smile playing on his lips. A thought suddenly crosses on his mind and turns towards Boomer, "Hey, what happened with that girly-dude's situation?"
Boomer frowns, the memory coming to his mind once again, "He was on the hospital, but now he's out…probably on a date with my girl"
Brick snorts, slapping the back of his blond brother, "And now she's mad at you, very nice work"
He only mumbles curses, letting his chin rest on the palm of his hands while said arms rest on his knees. Butch looks calmly at his brother, sighing.
Honestly, he thought Boomer was the one who would have more luck with his choice. He acted like the perfect gentleman and listened to her conversations with all the attention of the world when they got to talk…
Who would've guess a pale and weak looking girl (In his opinion, Takaaki is way to girly to be a male) would be the one gaining her heart and himself being the one with more luck with Kaoru?
Life is strange and unfair.
Sudden shouts appear in the environment and they all turn to find the cheerleaders running into the bleachers in happiness. Their practice is over.
Kaoru runs happily towards the three boys, accepting thankfully the water bottle Butch offers. Brick smiles, giving her a thumbs up.
"Hey, you're not that bad in this!"
Kaoru snorts, but her smile remains intact on her lips, "Thanks Brick"
She listens to their talk, enjoying passing her precious time with the boys.
At first she harbored a lot of negative feelings towards the brothers, but after passing some days visiting their house she enjoyed their company much more. The brothers were funny and kind of rowdy; it was a big and nice change from her girly friends. She really enjoyed her new friendship with the boys.
"BRICK!"
All four teenagers still at the known voice, waiting for said girl to appear. Finally, Himeko appears beside Kaoru, her eyes sparkling in delight at the sight of her crush.
"I didn't know you were here! How are you? Do you want to go on a date with me?"
Brick frowns, "Well, I came to see my future sister-in-law"
Kaoru snorts, choosing to gulp more water than correcting his statement. Butch snickers, kissing her cheek mockingly.
"Aww, don't be like that my cute girlfriend"
Boomer chuckles at the sight of Kaoru blushing and slapping the back of his brother's neck. He then turns his attention to Himeko, who is flirting shamelessly at an annoyed Brick.
He sighs with boredom, turning his attention to the field. It is then where his eyes widen in horror.
Momoko talking with a brunette boy, the boy's cheeks tainted red and his orange eyes widened in adoration.
In horror, he observes how the boy starts talking, his expression being one of a superior being, like bragging something great to her. Boomer is no idiot, in fact he is smarter in the social skills than both his brothers.
…That boy was showing off to Momoko to try and seduce her.
He lets a growl, gaining the attention of his brothers and the girls near him. Brick, being the one beside him, frowns in confusion at his blond brother.
"Boomer, what the hell is your problem?"
Boomer doesn't answer, instead he stands up. He leaves the bleachers and when his feet touch the floor, starts running towards his goal. Brick and Butch stare dumbfounded at the retreating silhouette of Boomer, turning to see where he is going with so much speed.
They find a laughing Momoko and a blushing brunette boy.
"Shit, he's going to punch him!" Brick exclaims, standing up and running towards his brother. Himeko growls and walks away, glaring at Momoko. She will be a niusance in her quest for Brick's heart. Butch, observes quietly his orange-haired brother.
"Why?"
"No questions, let's go!"
Kaoru declares, roughly grabbing Butch's hand and making him abandon his comfortable spot on the bleachers to get towards his siblings.
Momoko turns her eyes to the front, sighing happily after laughing so hard at the joke Sakamoto told her, only to find an enraged Boomer walking steadily towards both Sakamoto and her. She winces, feeling unnerved by the look of his eyes.
Sakamoto turns curiously to the target of her attention, flinching at the sight of the furious teen coming towards them.
"You little bastard!" Boomer shouts, preparing his hand by closing it tightly to form a fist. Momoko stands up, her face showing her frustration.
"Hey, what is your problem? Why are you so riled up?"
Boomer stops his way in front of her figure, spitting his words like garbage, "My problem is that this dimwit wants to make you fall for him!"
He turns towards Sakamoto, glaring at him, "I won't let one of my brothers suffer what I did!"
"Boomer, stop!"
Boomer turns around to face Brick. Said boy smirks, placing his hand over his shoulder, "You don't need to worry for me"
"But, you didn't see them-!"
A chuckle erupts from his lips,"Of course I saw them, I just didn't give it that much of importance"
Sakamoto looks surprised at the boys, slightly unnerved at their superior aura. He looks how the one with the red cap turns to him, smirking smugly.
"He has no chance against me"
Sakamoto feels his body tense, all thoughts of violence against the boy crossing his mind.
Kaoru looks between a smug Brick and a furious Sakamoto in anxiousness; only to grab Momoko's hand and taking her away from there.
"Come on, maybe we shouldn't be here"
Momoko nods, thanking Kaoru for her support and ignoring Butch's presence at her friend's side. This was not a time for her to snap at the raven-haired boy.
Brick chuckles at Sakamoto's expression, "Try taking her, you're nothing compared to me".
Sakamoto feels his head turn hot in anger, but remains glued on his spot. He even maintains himself in that same position after looking at the remaining two brothers walking away from the scene.
"We'll see who'll win, you bastard!"
Finally it's over! It took me more than planned. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the chapter and don't forget to vote!

Anonymous Review Replies:
Cassie M. M: Boomer is definitely one of the best. Hahaha, sorry. Seems my line wasn't explained very well. With marijuana I meant that she had very random thoughts, not because she's very hyper. Thanks, I'm glad you like it so much!
asumi-chan: Almost same here. I love BxK, like BxM…the other one is like "whatever". I don't care who Miyako ends with xD. Ok, I'll keep updating.
xXxdrama-queenxXx: Great, that was my goal! I'm glad it worked then. I'll try and that happens sometimes.
Music: I'm glad you like my sense of humor and my story, hehe. That Boomer, always ready to punch somebody into submission :P. I'm glad you like the blue pairing in my fanfic! Don't worry, it will be finished, not very fast, but finished nonetheless. Thanks for your review and I'll try :D.
MusicFan Banana: Ah no, no te preocupes jaja. No hay que pedir perdón por nada, no es como si me hubieras ofendido con eso. Puedes hablar español conmigo, no te preocupes. Soy mexicana, así que me tengo que saber el idioma a fuerzitas :P.
DPPGZfan: I'm glad you enjoyed the JB part and like the couples in there. Hahaha, we'll see what happens with those little situations. I'm happy you love it! I'll try too.
EmoCornerLovet: I personally don't see Boomer as a complete gentleman. He IS a RowdyRuff after all, his attitude is childish but not like a prince. Hahaha thanks a lot! You're the first to praise my style of writing xD. Thank you very much! Here is the update, I hope you like it! Thanks for your review!
ppgz and rrbz lover: I'll try, though I have other more important things to do and a life to accompliche, so it will be kind of difficult xD
me: I'll do.
All those paragraphs are for the last review.
StarRainer101: Responding to your review has to be the most difficult task I've made (hence that probably I might answer some of it wrong), but I'll try to answer it the most correct possible. Still, please use periods and commas, it would help me (and probably many other people that like to read reviews) more to understand your point. Anyways, returning to the matter at hand:
I'm gonna make more, don't worry about it. This story WILL be finished. I honestly won't promise it will be fast. After all, I have school to attend and a life to live, I won't be pasted on the computer to write fanfictions every day xD. Writing a chapter of this story is slow; if you want to see it this long, with a good plot and the same stupid comedy. So it takes a while to write and to check it to see if I can find any errors for all of you to enjoy it afterwards.
About the suggestion, thanks but that's what I already do. I know I have a lot of reviewers. don't think I'm just a little bitchy girl who doesn't care about the reviewers, I do. That's the main reason I'm even continuing AND finishing this story. Only because my updates are slow doesn't mean I don't care for you and your opinions. As I said before, I've got other things to do that require my attention more than this site.
You're terribly wrong with my intentions in writing my inspirations on every chapter. Personally, I like knowing the inspiration of the author of a story I like. I search the song (or whatever other means she had) to play it while I'm reading the new chapter. It helps me enter into the author's mind for a little while and see why did she write those words and to imagine more easily the chapter. Another reason is because some people have even asked me how I get my inspiration, wanting to get inspired too. If you don't like it, a shame. I don't care, honestly. I'll keep writing it for other people who enjoy seeing the perspective of the author like I do.
About the last part of your review…I really don't understand. I've been reading, and rereading said part but still I can't get the hang of it. So I won't respond to it. Thanks for your review, suggestions and opinions, they are very much appreciated.
