Chapter 11: I'm not a cat, I'm a fox. Got it? A fox!
"Hey, wake up." Chris said pulling Matt out of his seat.
"Uh, five more minutes." Matt said groggily.
"This isn't your bed Mar, class is over." Most of the class was giggling at his Matt's childlike actions.
"Why are you so tired anyway? It's been two weeks since we got here, aren't you adjusted to this time zone yet?"
"No, just stayed up to late reading. Why does it matter if I sleep through English anyway, I'll ace this class no problem?" Asuna, Yue, and Makie glared at Matt angrily. "Same thing with you, but I bet you still took notes didn't you."
"No…" Chris said hiding his notebook in back of him.
"Hey, have you thought about joining a club?" Asked Matt, not even lifting his head from the desk.
"Club? I never thought about that, I wonder what we could do here that we couldn't do in St. Paul? Maybe kendo or something?" Chris must have said that a little too loud, the girls mobbed over to him.
"Are you trying to decide on a club?" Yuuna asked enthusiastically. "You should try out for the Basketball club!"
"Try the track club!"
"No, try the lacrosse club!"
"Library adventure club!"
"News club!"
"Strolling club!"
The girls latched to onto each of their arms pulling in opposite directions.
"Hey come on I'm not a toy!" Chris said, his face flushed. He looked over towards Matt, who was in the same predicament, but somehow still sleeping. Everyone not involved sweatdropped at the scene.
-X-I-I-Gym
"Wow you clocked that 40-yard dash at 4.3 seconds!" The gym teacher looked as if he was going to faint.
"Yeah sorry, I really wasn't running at full speed." Matt said nonchalantly.
Misora walked from the end of the field to him. "Hey you're pretty fast."
"I've gone faster, wasn't really trying."
"Well I hold the record for the fastest sprinter in this school, how about a race."
"Really, a challenge? I'm game, how about one lap?"
"Okay, if you think you could beat me in one lap."
"Your pretty cocky, this should be fun." The two lined up at the starting line, a crowd had already gathered since the legendary sprinter Misora had challenged the male foreigner.
"How fast is your friend?" Kazumi asked Chris.
"Actually, I've never seen Mar be beaten in a race before."
"Really?" She instinctively pulled out her camera.
"He run's at Olympic speed I think, he would have been great in track but he quit because he thought it was boring." He said, as if it were no big deal.
Matt and Misora took their places, ready to go. The teacher pulled out his gun. "On your mark, set, go!" The two dashed out, almost mirroring each other. They cut around the first corner, and Matt started to pull ahead. 'Wow, she's actually making me try' He thought as he increased his pace. They ran a couple of yards, without any Misora gaining or Matt losing. At the second corner she caught up to him, and even passed him. 'She's going to make me go all out?' He thought enthusiastically. They cut around the third corner and Matt pulled up to her side. 'I'll put all my power on this last stretch!' As they reared the last corner Matt's pace increased to the point where he became a blur. He pulled ahead of Misora, but as he looked back to see her defeat he instead saw her pull out a piece of paper. It quickly disappeared, but then so did she. In an instant she was ahead of Matt, far ahead, at the finish line.
'I lost?'
"He lost" Chris asked
"Wow, you're pretty fast, but I'm faster." She walked away, not looking back.
-X-I-I-End of school
Matt walked down the hallway of the campus, angrily looking at his watch, and not forward. He turned the corner and collided with Negi rather hard.
"Oh, I'm sorry Matt-san. I didn't see you there." Matt lifted his stare from his watch and fixed it on Negi. "I'm really sorry!" Negi became very nervous, even sweating a little. "Are you late for something?"
"No it's just," A light bulb when on in Matt's head, "Hey Sensei do you think you could get this off for me, I think the latch is stuck or something." He asked very happily.
"Hmm, is your watch broken?" He said examining Matt's watch.
"No I just can't take it off. Ever since those girls mobbed us it's been acting up. I think someone's death grip deformed the latch." He said while pointing to his silver watch. "Your hands a smaller, maybe you could do something."
"I'll try." Negi try to bend the latch back, but to no avail. It seemed as though it welded to the band.
"I can't, maybe we could cut it-"
"No!" Matt said, pulling his hand into his chest defensively. "My grandfather made this watch; I would rather never take it off.
"Oh I'll try to take it off more carefully." Negi concentrated harder, using a pen now as a tool.
"Hey Mar, you're asking Negi now? If I'm not strong enough to open it I don't think Negi could. No offense." Chris asked while walking towards the two.
"Hey, I think I almost got it." Negi said. Negi seemed to get one finger under the latch; he tried to pull it up, but it didn't budge. He then tried to use the pen as a lever, the latch slowly started to lift, *Snap* the watch dropped of Matt's wrist. "Huh?" Negi asked blankly. The band broke near the face of the watch.
"Oh crap." Chris said backing away. "Negi, slowly walk away. No sudden movements.
"Oh Matt I'm so sor-"
"Negi..." Negi looked up at Matt, his face was expressionless. "I will, cough, cough!" Matt was thrown into a violent fit of coughing.
"Ah Matt, are you okay?" Chris asked. He quickly pulled out a bottle of water.
"No, cough, my ears hurt, cough!" He said bringing his hands to his ears.
"Your ears?" Chris asked removing Chris hands from his head, but he let go quickly.
Matt knelt down until his coughing fit stopped. He stood up, "Ow my ears!" He said bringing his hands back to ears. "Wait, why do I feel… skin?"
Negi and Chris just starred at Matt in awe. "What?"
"Um, Mar I didn't know you cosplayed."
"What, I don't cosplay." Both of them pointed to the top of Matt's head. He reached up and grabbed something fuzzy on one side, but dry on the other. "Wait, cat ears?" He tried to pull on them, "Ow, why did that hurt?" He looked at the two again, the seemed to still be in awe, but there sight was lowered. "What now?" He said angrily.
"A… tail?" Negi and Chris said in unison.
Vene: My god!
C&M: What?
Vene: I was reading chapter 7 part 5, and I had like 20 spelling/grammatical errors! I need to proofread more. This chapter itself had like 10, before I edited.
Matt: Well at least there are no more left.
Vene: You jinxed it, now I'm starting to be paranoid.
Chris: Starting?
Vene: Hey you owe me; I added fluff to the next chapter.
Chris: Okay, okay, I'll play nice.
Matt: Speaking of fluff, how's the poll looking?
Vene: As a matter of fact, it's great. A lot of people voted and two people are neck and neck. (BTW Poll is still opned.)
