My absolutely, perfect normal life… ARE YOU CRAZY? NOT!
Chapter 23
"The Bet..."
"The last event is… the eating contest…"
It was a deadly silence. It was like the wind stood still and everyone was frozen in time. I, myself, was speechless. An eating contest… oh my gosh… it's like heavy weights struck me…
"AN EATING CONTEST!? HELL YEAH!!!!!!!" I shouted. Drake perks up and grins at me. That's my boy! I turn over to Kai with a smirk but his thoughts were elsewhere… I wonder what he's thinking…
'I think I should go now… I don't want to see Aries pigging herself out… reminds me of Tyson for god's sakes' he thought.
Oh well, who cares what he thinks, I'm winning this!
"Now to begin…" the announcer started "We only need one family member from each of your families for this contest. The winner takes all, are you ready? Now choose a family member"
I turn over to Kai and Drake with puppy eyes. I first look at Drake and he gives me thumbs up for approval. I then turn to Kai who was starring at me. I can see it in his eyes he doesn't want me to do this but he finally sigh and nod his head. I felt like a rocket full with excitement, shooting everywhere at once. March family, you are so going down.
"Have you chosen your family member for this contest?" the announcer asks. I nodded my head.
"Yup, that will be me!" I laugh. Kai slap his forehead.
"Alright then… you will be versing April and Billy"
"WHAT!? I THOUGHT THE RULES WERE YOU ONLY NEED ONE MEMBER!" I shouted with anger. The announcer smirks and whispered into my ear.
"They bribe me as usual"
I glared at them. I am so going to kick there asses!
"Anyways, contestants take your seat and start until I say go!"
We all took our seats with huge plates full with food right in front of us. I glared at the opposite end as they did the same.
"Three…."
I glared at Billy and April "You guys are so going down….."
"Two…"
April laugh "With my husband, no way girlfriend"
"One…."
I stop…. Wait… I can't eat all of this…. NOT WITHOUT KETCHUP!
"GO!"
Suddenly, with the increase of grabbing and munching, I shove as much food in my mouth. I know, I'm a pig, big deal….
Billy March, how pathetic, he's shoving food in his mouth and some didn't even make it pass his throat. Oh well, I'm almost done anyways.
"Mommy…?" I turn around and saw Drake starring at me. He had this frown on his face I couldn't turn down. I wonder what's the matter with him.
Just then I had a vision…. A vision of the future.
Oh lord, if I pig out like this now…. I am so going to turn into a fat mammoth by three hours. And what happens if I was really fat? How am I supposed to play with Drake!? What will Kai think of me…
Wait. Hold up! Why the hell would I care? Screw Kai… I guest.
I stop. Everyone started looking at me, but Billy and April just kept on eating. Geez, I bet going on that diet would be pretty good. But that hot dog…
Three minutes later….
"Billy and April wins!" the announcer shouted.
Everyone in the crowd was screaming wildly and cheering. I just gave a sad smile and headed down the stairs. Drake ran into me and gave me a big hug.
"Thanks Drake… but I lost" I said. Drake pouted then grabs my hair. He intertwined it into his fingers and smiled at me.
"I don't care" I heard him say. I smiled and hug him.
"Aries" I turned around and Kai walking towards me. Oh boy, here comes the "you lost, you loser and so on". Might as well get prepared.
"Look Kai, I know I lost but I didn't want to get fat and-"
"Just shut up ok? Were going now" and with that, he grab Drake and my hand and walk away.
Ok… that was awkward….
- - - - - - - - - - -
I sigh. I was carrying Drake in my arms as he slept while Kai and I were walking home. It was a quiet walk but hey… at least I don't have to talk about me losing to that contest
"Hey Kai…" I muttered. Never mind… I guest I could talk about it a little.
"Hn?" there he goes with his word.
"Are you… mad at me?"
Kai raise an eyebrow at me, then he turn back where he was walking. I stared at the ground.
"No" was his response. I sigh in relief. Well, that's out of my case.
"But…" he started "You still have to do something embarrassing tomorrow in front of the whole school. Aren't you a little worried about that?"
I smiled at him and laugh "Well… it really depends on what April wants me to do. I mean… I always do embarrassing stuff… neh Kai?"
Kai smirk "I guest"
"Anyways… have you ever eaten a sandwich with ice-cream and pepper in it before?"
"A what?"
"MY LORD! YOU NEVER HEARD OF A SANDWICH WITH ICE-CREAM AND PEPPER BEFORE!?"
"No…?"
It felt like lightning truck me in the heart. I started crying, Kai never heard of a sandwich with ice-cream and pepper? May lord forgive him for his sin.
"Oh that's it know it all Hiwatari, you are going to have a sandwich with ice-cream and pepper tonight for dinner, you got that?" I said.
"Ok… is that even food?"
"HOW DARE YOU ASK THAT!? SANDWICH WITH ICE-CREAM AND PEPPER IS THE SEXIEST FOOD I HAVE EVER SEEN! A SIDE FROM PIZZA, BUT STILL! KA, YOU MUST TRY THIS WONDERFUL FOOD!" I shouted.
"Aries, get down from the pole, people are starring" Kai muttered.
"Party pooper" I muttered. Once I got down, Drake started to mumble, I smiled.
"Let's go home! You must eat!" and with that, I pulled him.
- - - - - - - - - -
Next day…
"I wonder why Kai left my house so early after eating that glorious food? Neh his problem, not mind" I said.
I was walking in the morning streets mumbling to myself. I was wearing a black slim t-shirt with a loose saggy vest and tight rip jeans. As usual, my hair was down. This time I left Drake home. He will be coming to school for his last day tomorrow.
Once I made it into the school, I notice something very strange.
People were starring at me, some were chuckling, some said something about a bet, and mostly the entire school said something about 'clumsy'.
"Hm… maybe the circus is here?" I ask myself.
"Hey Aries!" I turned around and saw Tyson running towards me. I smiled and started to run too.
"Tyson!" I laugh. I jump on him and we circled around each other.
"So how was your day yesterday?" I ask him. Tyson grin at me and shuffled my hair.
"Neh, it was ok. Sarah just started walking" my smiled grew bigger.
"That's great!" I exclaimed. I mean, it's by time Sarah should learn how to walk by now right? Man… I wish Drake was like her age so I could teach him how to walk…. I want my little baby back!
Suddenly, I saw many students step aside. Some got slam into lockers. I gulp. Oh dear… this reminds me of a time when I was watching Monster Inc.
… No flash back? Fine, be that way!
I started to glare while Tyson saw the person who was walking towards us. Man and her sluts too!
"Hey Aries, you ready? Also the slavery promise missy"
It was silence in the hallway. I raise an eyebrow. Tyson back up slowly so he wouldn't get involved. April just continued to look at me. Ok…
"Ready for what? Geez woman, just leave me alone!" I snap. April glared at me.
"You idiot, I bet you don't remember! The bet! Anyways-"
"A bet? Hm…" I place a finger under my chin. I snap my fingers and smiled.
"I remember! I was supposed to do something embarrassing in front of the whole school!"
"You got that right, so, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and do something"
I froze. Oh snap, how can I forget about that!? Neh… why me!? What did I do – OH THE HELL WITH IT!
"Alright… um…" with in that moment. I ran away.
Everyone just stood there surprise. April smirks and the last time I heard her was;
"YOU COWARD!"
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Well, today we had English class but Ms. Toyota isn't here. I think she's sick. So we had a substitute teacher. Anyways I wasn't the class yet, I just heard from the other teachers that she wasn't here.
"Alright class, this is a verb… see? Ooohhhh…. And this is a letter, see, that's a 'd'!" The substitute teacher stupidly said.
I went inside the class and sat down beside Kai as usual. Kai was paying no hell attention to the teacher. Well, who wouldn't? I mean… I know what a 'd' is so what's the point in taking notes?
I raise my hand "Uh… what's a 'd'?" Ok, I guest I didn't know.
"IT'S LETTER YOU MORON! PAY ATTENTION!"
I flinch "YES MISS!"
"WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING AT ME!?"
"BECAUSE YOU'RE SHOUTING AT ME MA'AM!'
"WELL, I'M THE TEACHER SO STOP SHOUTING THIS INSTANCE"
"YES MA- I mean… ma'am"
"Anyways, today we have an assignment due tomorrow. I'll be handing them out now" and with that, she handed the huge package paper to us. Oh boy… another assignment….
"Coward" I heard someone whispered. I look pass Kai and saw April smirking at me. I glared and paid no attention to her. Just then I purposely drop my pencil on the floor. Students saw it and turn to my direction. The sub teacher didn't notice and kept on walking. Bad mistake…
She quickly slips on the pencil and fell on her fat ass. Many students were laughing while Kai was just watching with no emotional expression printed on his face. I don't expect him to laugh, I expect him to watch.
"Young lady! Do you not mine in picking up your pencil!? I trip and now I want an apology!" she practically screamed at my face. I smiled.
"YOUNG LADY! DO YOU NOT MIND IN PICKING UP YOUR PENCIL!? I TRIP AND NOW I WANT AN APOLOGY!" I mimic while shouting.
The sub teacher started to get angry and glared at me. I just look at her innocently. April's smirk grew wider.
"I guest this was her embarrassing act all along…" she said to herself.
"YOUNG LADY, I NEED YOUR NAME RIGHT NOW!" she demanded.
"Shut up" I said. Everyone fell silence while April mentally laughs in her mind. Soon the sub teacher slams her hand on my desk. I expected that.
"Excuse me?"
"Yeah, shut up" I repeat again. Everyone just went shock.
"Young lady, how dare you say that to me, respect your elders!" she snap.
I look up and down "You got that right"
There were a few chuckles heard.
"That's it, I need your name right now!"
"I told you, it's shut up!" I shouted.
Kai just watch and sigh 'I know where this is going. I hope she's not using the joke….'
"I mean your real name!"
"Yes, shut up! I have a brother name bookworm as well" I said with a goofy smile. The class sent out 'ohm's' knowing what joke I was playing. The sub teacher sighs and grabs my back pack.
"Hey!" I shouted trying to grab it back.
"I bet you have more prank toys in here do you?" she said as she went through my bag. I sigh yet glared. How dare she!
"What's this?" she said holding up a small puppy. It barks cutely at me.
"Uh…it followed me… I haven't seen it anywhere in my life, I swear! I don't even know the name" I tried to explain. Just then the puppy pee all over the teacher' face causing everyone to laugh. The teacher smack the puppy's head and I glared.
"Hey! Don't do that to Mr. Chu-chu!" I exclaimed.
"I thought you said you didn't know this dog?"
"Yeah, I don't know!"
"But you just said its name, you moron!"
"Hey shut up!"
"That's it, get out of my sight! Go to the detention room right now young lady!" she shouted. I winced and glared at her. Once I was bout to leave, the teacher pick up the pencil.
"Hey, you forgot your pencil!" she yelled. I turned around holding the puppy. I glared at her.
"That's not my pencil" I declared. I saw a vain pop out of her temples.
"Then who is it?" she asks.
"Your mama" and with that I left with a laughing classroom.
- - - - - - - - -- - -
Well… here I am… in detention… again.
I was sitting on the same desk I hit Kai with. I smiled; great memories. I am so going to kill April for this! But I can't turn back on a bet… even if I did forget. Man, I had to do that, now I'm the laughing stock in school… oh well, my bet is almost over. Now I just have to be her slave until this is all over…
"Aries?" I look up and saw Kai. I smiled and wave.
"Hey Kai, your not suppose to be down here. You might get caught!" I whispered.
"The teacher got frustrated in class and went to take an aspirin. We got free time and everyone is talking and laughing. So I thought I might as well see what the idiot is up to" he explained. I stuck my tongue out.
"Man Kai…" I said. He took a seat beside me and we just sat there. Al we hear was the teacher's snoring.
"Hey Kai…" I muttered.
"Hn?" I am so getting tired of that word.
"Never mind…" I said.
Another few minutes pass and Kai finally broke the silence.
"You pulled it off. The bet" he said. I smiled.
"I guest, now I have to be her slave next!"
"Well, that's your fault for not winning"
"Ass wipe!" I said. But soon I got tired and place my head against the desk. I heard Kai sigh. I suddenly felt a warm hand on my hand, it was so soft and warm.
"Kai, what are you doing?' I ask.
"Nothing, I'll wake you up ok?"
I smiled "Thank you… you corny person"
I drifted off to sleep. Kai just kept on starring with his hand still on my head. He sigh and look out the window.
"Your mama…" he muttered. Then he chuckled.
