Chapter 10

Exams, Yuuko and Aiko

"Good morning students," the principal's voice was heard in the halls. It was Monday and currently it was the weekly assembly.

"As you know, throughout this week, the third year students will be taking a test. Now, the reason for them taking this test is simple. As you know, third year students will graduate this year and continue their studies in college. Now, for a better college offer, the student should be at least a class D student. Meaning, class E and F will have less chance to enter college. So, this test will be a class replacement test. Students with higher marks will be placed on a higher class and students with lower marks will be placed on lower class. So, if you want a chance to enter college, I suggest you to do your best in the test. That is all from me, thank you," the principal ended her speech and went to sit back on her seat. The assembly continued on for another fifteen minutes before they were dismissed.

"I didn't know that the test marks will actually grant us our class. Did you guys know about it?" Akihisa asked while he and the others were making their way to their class.

"Well, even though we weren't told about it, it was obvious isn't?" Yuuji said making the others nod.

Akihisa sighed. "I really do want to go to college, you know?" Akihisa said quietly enough for Minami to hear him because she was walking next to him.

"Aki, if you want to go to college that bad, you should do your best," Minami said before giving him a smile.

"Yeah. Guess so. You'd do your best to, okay?"

"Of course. And maybe, we can attend the same college if you try hard enough. I'm sure I'm going to score more marks than I used to, because I don't have that much trouble with Hiragana and Kanji anymore," she said.

"Well, I'm going to do my best so that I can at least be the same level as you," Akihisa said making Minami blush.

"Yeah, yeah. You know, Kirishima-san might be mad at you if you don't do your best."

Akihisa paled after Minami said that."Well, let's just hope that the questions are going to be easy then."

After their conversation ended they continued making their way towards class in silent. But mentally, everyone was thinking hard.

"Okay. Please put out all the books that are related to this subject, right now. The test for Japanese history will begin in five minutes," the teacher said.

The students done as told. Some of them kept their text book in their bag. Some of them were just about to take out their pencils. The test papers were now currently being passed to them.

When Akihisa got the test, he looked at the first question, and sighed. 'This is going to take some times and efforts,' he thought before starting to answer the question.

"How was it, Aki-kun?" Shouko's voice was heard. She and Akihisa were currently on the roof of the school, having lunch.

"Hump? Well, I wouldn't say that it's easy, but I did manage to answer them. The studying paid off, I guess," he said before continuing eating.

"Aki-kun. Do your best, okay? I want you to be in the same class as me," she said with an encouraging tone.

"Of course, Shouko-chan. But then again, I don't think I can get into class A you know?" he said sounding disappointed.

Shouko stood up, pulling Akihisa with her. Standing now facing each other, Shouko wrapped her arms around him.

"Aki-kun, I really want to be in the same class with you. So please, do your best and get into class A, okay?"

Akihisa smiled after he heard that. Slowly, he wrapped his arms around her as well.

"I promise, Shouko-chan. I'll definitely do my best and get into class A."

"Thank you, Aki-kun."

Akihisa just chuckled after that. A few moments later they released each other from the hug and decided it was time to return to their class. After saying goodbyes before they parted ways, Akihisa felt someone grabbed him from the back and he was dragged to the store room.

"What were you doing with our class rep?" he heard a female voice. He opened his eyes and saw Yuuko Kinoshita in front of him.

"What? We were just having lunch," he said in a nervous tone.

"Don't make me laugh, class F student. Did you expect me to believe that our class rep actually wants to spend time with you? The ultimate idiot." Yuuko said.

"Hey, that is insulting," Akihisa said.

"And that's the point," Yuuko replied.

"If you don't believe, just ask her," Akihisa said after being released by Yuuko.

"And if I find out that you're forcing her to spend time with you, I'll make you pay. You hear that?" Yuuko said raising a fist.

"Yeah, yeah. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go to my class," Akihisa said before walking off.

Yuuko stared at the disappearing figure of Akihisa.

When Akihisa reached his class, he went straight to his seat. He sat on the floor and placed his head on the orange box.

"Hey, you okay?" he heard Yuuji's voice next to him.

"Yeah. It's just that Kinoshita from class A was messing with me," he replied.

"You really know how to attract class A students, don't you?" Yuuji said before smirking.

"What does that suppose to mean?" Akihisa asked.

"Well, first it was Shouko. Then that Aiko. And now, even Hideyoshi's sister s after you."

"Wait. What's with Aiko? I haven't seen her since before the holiday."

"Well, earlier, Aiko was here. And she was searching for you."

"Really? Why would she search for me?"

"Well, she did said to tell you to meet her at the front of the school gate after school."

"Let's just hope that she won't do anything like what Kinoshita did," Akihisa sai before sighing.

"What did she do, anyway?"

"Well, when I was making my way-" Akihisa's voice was interrupted by the sound of the door being opened. A teacher then walked in.

"Students, be quite! Math's exam will begin in 5!" he said after placing the exam paper on the table.

"Well, I'll tell you about it some other time," Akihisa said.

"Just stay out of troubles then. Shouko won't like it, if you cheat on her," Yuuji said.

"Yeah, right."

"That was hard as always," Akihisa said when he and the others were walking down the halls.

"Don't say stuffs like that Aki. You making it sound like our studying was meaningless," Minami said.

"Yeah. In fact, the exam was actually easier than always," Yuuji said.

"I agree with Yuuji," Hideyoshi said.

"For you guys, maybe. It was hard for me," Akihisa said.

"Of course it was hard for you. You're the ultimate idiot," Akihisa heard Yuuko's voice.

"You again? Why are you following me?"

"Who said I was following you? You're not even worth my time!"

"Then why are you here?!"

"Hmph! I was searching for Hideyoshi, you idiot!" she said turning her head sideways.

"Screw you. I can't handle this all over again," Akihisa said before walking away.

"And where do you thin you're going?!" Yuuko literally shouted.

"Home! Where do you think?" Akihisa shouted as a reply.

"You idiot. I'm not done with you," Yuuko said trying to catch up with him.

"But, I'm done with you!" Akihisa stated before starting to run.

When they reached the gate, Yuuko cornered Akihisa against the gate's wall.

"Why were you running away?" Yuuko said with a glare.

"Why wouldn't I run?" Akihisa replied.

They began throwing question at each other with loud voices. Both of them were literally shouting.

"Akihisa!" they heard someone else shouted behind Yuuko. Yuuko turned around to see a girl with short green hair standing behind her.

"Kudou-san?" Yuuko said, confused.

"Ah, Yuuko. Mind if I borrow Akihisa? Thanks!" she said not giving Yuuko a chance to answer and grabbing Akihisa's tie in process then dragging him away from Yuuko.

Once they were far enough from Yuuko, Aiko slowed down, an released the tie.

"Thanks for getting me away from her," Akihisa said while adjusting his tie.

"No problem," she replied and stared at him.

"I hear you were looking for me earlier?" Akihisa said after his tie was adjusted.

"Walk with for a moment," Aiko said before starting to walk.

When Akihisa saw her start to walk, he followed her. They walked in silence, making Akihisa uncomfortable. After a few minutes of walking, he saw her stopped. He stopped too, and realized they were in front of a house.

"Come on. My parents aren't home," he heard her said before she starts to walk towards the door. He hesitantly followed her. Once inside, she motioned him to sit on a couch, before she disappears into the kitchen.

"Want anything to drink?" he heard her voice.

"Juice would be fine," he replied. A few moments later, she came back with a glass of juice. She placed the glass on a coffee table in front of the couch, then, sat next to him on the couch. This made Akihisa blushed.

"S-so.. Li-like I s-said earlier, I heard you were looking for me. Why?" he asked looking at her and he saw her blush a little bit.

"I want- .No. I need your help," he heard her.

A/N: There's the 10th chapter. Wow, I never expected the story to be this long. Yuuko Kinoshita finally made her appearance. YAY! I'm not sure if she'll play a huge part to the story, but I'm happy that I got to use her. Expect more of her in future chapters. For chapter 9's reviewer, I thank you

GlassCloud: Thank you. I'm happy that you like this story. I am sorry that I haven't read your fic yet, but I promise you, I'll read it in the near future.

Yoky2cool4u: Thank you for your opinion and for following the story. I'm actually a fan of KoutaxAiko too. But then again, I'm also a fan of MinamixAkihisa, so I can't promise you that MizukixKouta won't be happening. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. Just continue reading to find out. Plus, I'm a huge fan of 'weird'. I mean, you don't actually see a whole lot of AkihisaxShouko out there, right?

With that said, I hope you guys will continue to support me for this story.

PS: This is the fixed version. I fixed it because there were too many spelling errors because my 'D' key was busted. Luckily, I got a new laptop and I decided to fix this chapter.
