Room to be Ourselves

Twilight Poet: Hey people! Sorry this is late, I have 12 assignments to work on! Eeeeevvviiill… Oh, and I did write that x-mas fic, but I don't think I'll post it. Sorry. Ok, time for the next bit of Rei's lessons! Will he be a harsh teacher?

Chapter 14

Mister Sensei Rei sir?

About 5 minutes later they were all standing in a small classroom. Kai took a seat at the back while Rei stood in front of his 'students'.

"Ready?" he asked

Konna grinned, "Teach away master!"

"Right…" Suddenly Rei grinned for a moment before his face seemed to warp into an evil army commander-like scowl, "Look at you! What? Are we little teapots?"

"huh…?"

"If you're going to stand with one hand on your hip like that, you right as well do the rest of the dance that goes with it!"

The girls blanched and slowly moved their arms down to their side and straightened up. Outside a certain green-haired, French blader blushed furiously and did the same.

Kai smirked and shook his head as Rei continued, "Secondly, you're too neat! Tan, un-tuck that shirt! Kon, STOP brushing your hair!"

Outside the window Kyle and the other boy, who had introduced himself as Raven, struggle to contain their laughter. They couldn't hear anything going on it the room, but from their point of view it looked hilarious!

"but… You're neat!" Tanya argued

Rei twitched and stomped over to her and looked her in the eye, "Walk!"

"…say what now?"

"WALK TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM AND BACK AGAIN!"

Konna and Tanya jumped scuttled to the other side of the room then reluctantly walked back towards Rei.

Rei shook his head, "Do it again! Slower this time"

The girls whimpered and slowed down. By now Kai was looking a little surprised, Oliver was fuming outside and the two boys were rolling about in the garden laughing their heads off.

"Trudge more! Not so softly! Legs part more! Are you even wearing those balls of socks today?"

An hour and a half later Rei was finally satisfied with their walk and the way they stood.

"Ok," the Chinese boy grinned, "Now we'll work on your eating habits."

The girls glared and looked at each other. A private message seemed to flash between them and they grinned. Taking on the most sluttish positions they could think of, they sauntered over to Rei and backed him onto one of the couches.

His face turned crimson, "No! NO! This is exactly what you should NOT do!"

They wrapped their arms around him and smirked before tackling him to the ground.

"The lesson is over now, ok?" Tanya murmured

Rei blanched, his face returning from commander to normal "Yes, yes – s-shall we continue more tomorrow?"

"And next time we get a lunch break, m'k luv?" Konna whispered, right next to his face.

Rei just nodded, his eyes wide and cheeks red, "Ok, but promise you won't do THIS again!"

Chuckling, she kissed him on the cheek to seal the deal and, walking more like guys, the girls trudged out.

Rei put his hand on his cheek and paused for a moment before sticking his head out the door, "Don't do THAT again either!" Shaking his head he turned around, muttering to himself, "honestly, if someone had come in on that?"

Meanwhile, the girls had bumped straight into Oliver.

"Tan! Kon!" the French boy cried, looking guilty. "…wait… Tan! You're free!"

Tanya spread her arms wide, "I'm glad you noticed."

Oliver grinned, then paled, "we have to hide you! Robert will be after you with a vengeance!"

"Damn! I forgot about bug-a-lugs," Konna frowned.

Oliver paused for a moment before muttering something inaudible.

"What?" asked Tanya

"Well," Oliver repeated, "I was just thinking, you see the Majestics may have one room to share, but we each also have our own separate rooms. Perks of being the largest donators to the school. Would you like to stay in my spare room? No one but myself and my maids ever go in there."

The girls grinned wide, "That's PERFECT!" They enveloped the boy in a huge hug, "Thank you!"

Half an hour later Tanya's belongings were successfully re-located to Oliver's private quarters.

"Excellent," Tanya yawned, "I can finally get some sleep! Do you have any idea how uncomfortable sitting all day in a chair is?"

Konna laughed, "Right then, you get some shut-eye. I, however, am starving! See ya later."

Leaving the two to work out sleeping areas, Konna made her way down to a 'lounge bar' she'd discovered earlier that day but hadn't had a chance to check out. Sitting down at one of the tables, she pulled out a slightly crumpled sheet of paper and a pen from her pocket and began to take notes for her English assignment.

How to study a Novel

Studying a novel on your own requires self-discipline and a careful thought-out work plan in order to be effective…

"English studies… a waste of time if you ask me."

Konna looked up to see a waiter looking over her shoulder. He was very neat and had a 'if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it' look to himself. Konna disliked him immediately.

The waiter stuck his noise in the air, "I've never seen the point of such a useless subject!"

Konna felt her eye twitch as she stood up, "And what do YOU do again?"

"My name is Fredrick. I make the drinks here."

"Right, well I appreciate you 'input' so if I ever need help with drinks, keep a ear open 'cause I might just give you a little jingle!" Konna made her hand in the shape of a phone and put it to her face as she turned around and slowly walked out, "BAAARRIIING! Hey there Freddy! Kon from the bar here. Yeah, calling about the rum and coke thing – couldn't be more confused."

Turning the corner she bumped straight into Roger and his cronies.

"My bad," she gulped, desperately attempting to hide her face as she shuffled past.

"hey!" cried one of the larger, goons, grabbing her arm

Roger didn't even look at her, "You will take us to the principal's office."

Konna snorted, "Yeah, right."

The grip tightened on her arms, "You will do as you're told!"

Konna shook out of the boy's grip, "no, nix, never, not at all, not in a million years, nuh ah, nope, no way and my personal favourite –man falling off of cliff – NnnnOOOOOOOOOooooooooo!"

The goon look like he was about to punch Konna when suddenly Kyle and the boy, Raven ran past, grabbing Konna on the way and continuing down the hall.

"Great save!" Konna grinned giving a thumb up.

"No… no p-problem," Kyle puffed

Suddenly Konna's good shoulder angel appeared in front of her, "Boss! Boss! We've found the box!"

Konna whooped, "EXCELLENT! Lead the way!" she turned to the two boys, "Come one, I think I know where the rest of those photos and stuff are."

Kyle and Raven looked at each other and shrugged before jumping up to followed Konna who was already running down the hall.
