Hello everyone once again! Been trying quite a bit to get my previous writing skills back as soon as possible. In the meantime, I will like to accept a suggestion made by Daownlyone. This fan fiction is now open to ideas! I need you – yes you, my faithful readers, to suggest some cool or good ideas for me to write my stories on. I've been running out of ideas before I resumed my fan fiction, and until now I still have like zero ideas in my mind. Nonetheless, I will try to actually "force" out a chapter of this :D
First priority before starting this chapter is to answer my reviewers as always.
CrimsonSnowScarletFate: Hello again thefallenangel. No don't get a heart attack, I don't want to lose a faithful reader! LOL and anyways you can stop missing my updates because its right here and back on track.
reregniL: Of course I came back with an update – what else will I be here for? Drinking a cup of coffee? Hahaha just kidding bro, and I hope you enjoy the fan fiction like you did before. Also suggest some ideas for me to write on!
Daownlyone: Nope, I didn't update. This chapter was from Narnia XD Anyways welcome back bro, I am back :D Topaz and Amethyst on the bed… I'll leave that to your imagination.
Pikachu0311: You spelt grammar wrong XD anyways I still need some time to actually reach my past writing standards :/ And no its not perfect. Give me some time :D
Pokemon Guy 84: Thank you, and don't love me like you did before. LOL
Shin H Vega: Your wish is my command.
Reader terrible-writer: Who else could Green be paired together with? :D
Shea Yuu: Thanks and I do hope you enjoy this too.
Anyways… lacking ideas for future chapters. Give some suggestions! (Preferably not too hard to write though, I am not as professional as you think I am :D)
A small change here in the story – I've decided to group all of the characters in one class for easier managing. TAKE NOTE.
Chapter 10 – Exam Madness
The exam of the first semester is around the corner, but still there are no one trying to prepare for the upcoming test.
Miss Rylai Crestfall noticed this situation, and she got a perfect plan to make her students start working hard for the exam. Or to put it in a simple way, preventing her from losing her job.
"Class, may I have your attention please?" Miss Rylai yelled towards her noisy students in the class after standing there silently like a statue, waiting patiently for the students to calm down.
The students abruptly stopped talking after a long while, and Miss Rylai finally starts to reveal her master plan.
"All right students. As you may know, the first semester exam is coming up starting next week. To ensure that you don't fail the exam, I will hereby carry out a program to make you study efficiently and fast."
Almost all the students looked towards Miss Rylai's direction with question marks on their faces. Does Miss Rylai actually think that she could conquer this class of monkeys?
"What's the plan Miss Rylai?" Blue asked, breaking the awkward staring competition between the students and their homeroom teacher.
"The big plan is, I am going to arrange you into study groups." Miss Rylai revealed her master plan. Or did she?
"That's it?" Gold yawned as he replied the teacher in monotone, which Green would do if he manages to speak up first.
"But of course… not."
"And then?" Gold replied once again in monotone.
"Each of you will be paired with another student of the opposite gender. And there will be a free feast by me for the winning gender, depending on which side gets the best result out of all. The winning side also gets to do anything to his or her partner. Is that clear?"
"WHAT?" Basically, everyone in the class, excluding Green, screamed in awe. Sapphire instantly side-glared Ruby, to which he sweat dropped.
"What? Don't look at me with that scary eyes, I know I look fabulous as always." Sapphire gestured a vomiting sign upon hearing what Ruby said. Ruby responded with a flip of his eyeballs.
"All right, you may choose your partner…or opponent now." Miss Rylai smirked as she finished her sentence.
"I choose Gold!" Crystal yells out loud much to the class and Gold's surprise.
"What? NO! OBJECTIO—" Gold is immediately silenced by a kick from behind, which is of course, by Crystal.
"I have no objections…" Gold sweat dropped as he rubbed his back. "Painful kick you have there, Super Serious…" Gold groaned while Crystal went to register her name at Miss Rylai's notebook for their pairing in this so-called master plan of their vicious homeroom teacher.
Ruby and Sapphire both walked towards Miss Rylai's seat at the same time, obviously indicating that they chose each other.
"Wild girls won't even come close to me when it comes to studying."
"Oh really?"
"But of course, you can't even read!" Ruby insulted the girl glaring sideways at him, but little did he noticed that the girl was actually smirking viciously, preparing for her sweet revenge.
"I can't read? Fine. I can't win you in studying? Absolutely wrong."
"I'll choose Green!" Blue raised her hand. Miss Rylai nodded and made a note in her notebook. Surprisingly to others, Green did not show any sign of protest, which he always did and he always will.
Platinum got off her seat and walked slowly and gracefully towards Diamond's seat.
"Dia, would you like to be on the same group with me?" Most male students in the class excluding the group dropped their jaws. Pairing up with the genius Platinum almost guarantees you a top five rank in the exam.
"Sure." Diamond replied without much thought.
"For some reason, that sounds like cheating to me." Gold groaned while looking at her partner, Crystal. Although Crystal is quite the hardworking student, but she's nowhere near Platinum in terms of education or elegance. Oh well, no choice here…
"I am taking Amethyst, so Pearl you're on your own." Topaz said as he snatched Amethyst's hand forcefully.
"Fine by me." Pearl grunted.
Everyone else in the class starts to get paired up between themselves, except Red, Silver, Emerald and Yellow.
"Well, I don't see an alternative here so Silver will have to be grouped with the ladies there then." Miss Rylai's sentence literally made the class burst out in laughter.
"WHAT?" Silver's eyes grew as big as a fish.
"Red, mind being on the same team? There's only four of us left." Silver sighed in annoyance, since he doesn't have a choice right now besides having to play the role as a "makeshift girl" for the duration.
"Well, I don't see a reason to disagree—" Red's reply was cut off by a loud sound of painful screaming. Apparently, Blue delivered a punch from Silver's back, literally crushing his bones in the process.
"I… I guess Emerald needs a partner. Right Emerald? Okay then, let's go and write our names on Miss Rylai's notebook now…" Sad life you have there, Silver. And its all Blue's fault, obviously.
"Well… guess I am your only choice left huh?" Red forced a smile at Yellow to which she reluctantly nodded.
Not long after the session ends and Miss Rylai leaves the class, Silver is sent flying into a wall by one of Emerald's inventions.
"I wanted to be paired up with Yellow you idiot!"
Sure, their heights do fit. But no… because no.
Later after school, at Ruby's house…
"Ruby, how do I pronounce this? Pro-te-seum, is it?" Sapphire twitched her eyebrows while reading her book.
"Oh god, its called Potassium." Ruby face palmed.
"Oh now I remember, the experiment is about wearing a pair of goggles and taking extra safety precaution, while using Lithium and Potassium to compare the chemical reaction between elements with more electron shells. Potassium is the result of the experiment because it produces bright purple flame compared to Lithium, am I correct?"
Ruby stared at Sapphire in disbelief. What did she just say? Did she just memorized the whole procedure of the experiment he was trying so hard to memorize?
"Y-yeah, I think so?" Ruby sweat-rained when he noticed that Sapphire's textbook is full of notes, even though most of them had their spelling wrong. Awkwardly, Sapphire took notice of Ruby's 'clean' textbook at the same time.
"Tch tch tch, you think that's what it takes to beat me? Oh Sissy-boy, you are so wrong." Sapphire laughed loud which just makes her more boyish than she already is.
"Oh just shut up, let's see can you even spell the key words properly during the examination."
"You'd better hope that I really did spelt them wrong, or else you are going to have a very sad life." Sapphire grinned menacingly, causing Ruby to tremble as he forcefully divert his attention back to the book.
"Shit…"
Silver is carefully observing Emerald in his underground room while Emerald works on his new invention—a mechanical machine that helps in…cheating in exams.
"So… does this thing really work?" Silver asked while holding a cup of coffee and standing beside the tinkering Emerald.
"I could always use you as a test subject." Emerald flashed his finished product – the Cheating Spectacles ( or whatever he named it ) and gestured for Silver to wear it.
Silver wore the spectacles without further thought, and a sudden influx of electric current shocked Silver to the very core of his body, making him knee down in pain.
"Oops, technical problems…"
"Emerald you… bastard…" Silver groaned in pain as he used his remaining energy to remove the electric spectacles from his face (All his energies were zapped out by the electric spectacles).
At Diamond and Platinum's side however, Diamond is concentrating on Platinum's teachings in Platinum's mansion, despite that it's a race for the best between boys and girls.
"So countries in Southeast Asia adapted democracy from the countries that colonized them such as Britain and France. Malaysia and Singapore is one of the examples that adapted democracy…"
"Although Malaysia has huge difficulty in actually undergoing the democracy procedures such as for example, a fair election."
"Dia, if you write something like this into your history exam sheet, I will treat you to some cake…"
"Sorry madam… I'll take that sentence back."
"Good boy."
Diamond choked upon thinking of Platinum's vinegar cake—that inhumanly inedible cake will be the death of me if I was fed something like that.
"I wonder how's Pearl doing right now, he seems to be in a bad mood recently…"
"I do believe that with Pearl's stubborn and independent personality, he will be all right."
"Platina, was that even a compliment?" Diamond raised an eyebrow.
"Well… about the democracy part, you will have to memorize these points—"Platinum changes the subject and starts to point at some sentences of her history textbook.
"You do know that changing topic like that is just way too obvious for me to pass through it unnoticed right Platina?"
"Dia, are you hungry? I can bake you some cake…"
"Where were we on the democracy part again?" Diamond sweat dropped.
Now good cookers are not to be meddled with, Diamond. Remember that in mind.
Although this pairing is about focusing and fighting hard for exams, there's always someone that likes to break the rules and do something outside the box.
"Green, this bracelet is cute! Do you think that it will fit on me?" Apparently Blue dragged Green out forcefully on a window-shopping trip.
"Yeah…maybe…whatever." Its safe to say that someone as cold and serious as Green will not be amused at all.
"Then I shall take this then!" Blue cheered happily as she removed Green's wallet from his pocket before he even realized it.
"Wait—what are you doing pesky—"
"I'll take these then!" It's already too late since Blue already paid for the bracelet before Green even realized what's going on.
"Damn…I knew something like this would happen from the moment I stepped out of my house."
"You know Red, I am really not someone that excels in studying, so can we put this competition aside?" Yellow requested shyly as they waited for their order to arrive in Aroma Melody Cafeteria.
"No problem, I didn't actually paid attention nor was going to pay attention towards this so-called competition anyway." Red's reply caused Yellow to slowly relax down her seat. She was very tense a moment ago, since its her first time getting paired up with a boy in a school project… Well, "project", but Red is someone that was sought after by most of the fan girls in the school, so Yellow couldn't help but felt shy.
"Anyways… uhh…" Apparently, Red is way more shy than the blonde-haired girl sitting right infront of him.
Please no inner voice now. Red thought.
"Hello, Red. We meet again."
Oh damn.
"Don't be a coward, Red. Like I said before, buckle up and confess to Yellow, all right?"
"LIKE I SAID, NOT GONNA HAPPEN." Red yelled out loud into the nothingness infront him. Every person inside the Aroma Melody Cafeteria stared awkwardly at the strange yelling boy. Red hung his head down in embarrassment.
"Sorry, just imagining things…" Red apologized as everybody resumed what they were doing or planning to do. Yellow comically sweat-dropped.
Damn you! Red thought.
Damn me, damn you. We're one, remember?
Like I said, I don't like Yellow, all right? Red mentally yelled in frustration.
Oh who was he trying to lie to, himself? He clearly knows that he has some special feelings towards this cute blonde-haired girl right infront of him.
Yellow stared awkwardly as the red-capped boy repeatedly twitched eyebrows for no valid reason.
"Red… are you alright?" Yellow asked shyly.
"Uhh…yeah, I am fine."
"So… are we going to start studying?"
"S—sure. No problem."
Outside the café, Blue's vicious smiles can be seen by the poor boy that is forced to follow her in such retarded acts—stalking Yellow and Red.
"Oh for once, can we not do this?" Green vented his frustration.
"For twice, no. For thrice, still no." Blue continued to meddle with the mechanism she took from Emerald, which is the robotic Inner Voice machine that was used last time in the same way.
Green fell silent.
