Chapter 37

English

Irina "Just work on the projects today. Anyone remember when they're due?"

"Bitch-sensei you never told us…"

She shrugs "The other guy went over it didn't he?"

"Korosensei didn't tell us either?!"

Irina "Let's just make it due next week on Monday."

Fuwa stands up "Hey no fair!!!! Author-san has two months to do it!!!!"

Irina "Fuwa. Real life. You're at a prep school. Things are harder."

Fuwa "But all his classes are either college prep or advanced college prep too!!!"

Mimura "Why am I partnered with this…"

Fuwa "Because I'm the only one that seems to realize we're anime characters! Think about it!!"

Mimura sighs hanging his head back "Fuwa please…"

Irina sighs "Get in your groups. If you need me I'll be in the teacher lounge."

Ryuu "Wanna go to the river?"

Rinka nods and they go outside with Ryuu's friends again. They all go to the river and sit on rocks or in the trees.

Sugaya "So how much you guys get done?"

Mimura sighs "You try working with this otaku!"

Fuwa "You're impossible Mimura!"

"Says the one trying to make our person someone from Yuri!!! on Ice?!"

"He is amazing!!!"

Mimura "Okay who wants to spare!!"

Ryuu "We have Karasuma-sensei's class next period. Just wait."

Sugaya "Okajima hows yours going? You've been surprisingly quiet?"

Okajima sighs "Kurahashi is NOT as pure as we thought guys…"

Kurahashi giggles "We got the background information done. Trying to find good insurance still. Yours?"

Sugaya smiles "I got lucky. My partner has top English grades in the school!"

Rio "We can't agree on shit. But I guess where doing better than Mimura and Fuwa?"

Mimura's laying down on a branch arguing with Fuwa who's holding the computer showing anime

Mimura "Where's my knife. I'm going to stab myself."

Ryuu spins Mimura's knives "Yeah let's not do that yet?"

"When did you even take those?!"

Ryuu shrugs "Awhile ago."

Rinka "Ryuu when'd you get so good at pickpocketing?"

Ryuu "You know Tadashi is a brat."

Rinka smirks "Yup."

Sugaya "So lover boy? You're a theif now?"

Rio "First thing you stole was what? Rinka's heart?"

Both snipers drop a pine cone on them from the tree.

"Shut up will ya…"

Fuwa "I don't see why you two don't admit your together?"

Kurahashi "Especially since you don't deny it either. And considering what Hayami said on the trip?"

Rinka blushes deeply "Kurahashi!!!"

Ryuu tilts his head "Hm???"

Rio smirks "Oh the second night all us girls were hanging out and Rinka said-"

Rinka "Shut up!!!!!"

The boys are confused. Ryuu looks at Rinka curiously

"Rin????"

She grabs the laptop "So what slides do we have done!"

Ryuu looks at the other girls for an answer.

Fuwa and Mimura are arguing in the tree, Kurahashi and Okajima are working together surprisingly well on a rock, and Rio and Sugaya have 12 tabs open for the project sitting on a low branch and rock.

Ryuu shrugs looking back at the computer.

Rinka "So we have the background, Cashflow, Person and Finacal goals, and profiles."

Ryuu nods "And what did we decide on for those?"

Rinka "After searching typical American personal goals? We ended up with: short term- going to the gym 3 times a week, mid term- travel to Florida in the next 4 years, and long term- become department head at the hospital. For financial goals… Short term- save 10% of monthly income to buy car, mid term- put money into emergency funds every month, long term- fix up house."

Ryuu nods "How does she even afford this… Wait… how did we already do the cash flow??"

Rinka "This instructions aren't very good okay."

He smiles "So her profile? Gym membership, fixing up house, certificate of deposit, and 401k? Rin… what exactly are the last two???"

Rinka sighs "A certificate of deposit, or CD for short, is basically interest on interest. I looked into it and took a few notes on this slides. Look."

Ryuu reads off the screen "a certificate issued by a bank to a person depositing money for a certain length of time. Higher interest the better, compound interest, longer term equals higher rates, banks will roll over another term if not collected?? Rin…"

"Compound interest is interest on interest."

"Right! I knew that. I was just making sure you knew that."

Rinka raises an eyebrow "Alright then. Formula?"

Ryuu "ummm…"

Rinka smirks "A equals P(1 plus r/n) to the power of (nt). A is amount, P is principal, R is interest rate, N is number of times intrest is compounded, and T is time."

He looks at her "…and math is my strong subject??"

She pokes his nose making him blush "I researched it a little more when I got home."

He covers his nose "Will you stop that."

"Nah? Also 401k. It's a fairly simple retirement plan. Most employers offer them. You can't withdraw money from it until retirement age. That's 65 in America. Pros of 401k are its convenient, has pre-tax contributions, and its portability. Cons are it's structural flaws, long time investment, and administrative cost."

Ryuu "Woah… so how many slides do we have? 6? Plus title and work cited 8/20?"

Rinka nod "Yup."

Sugaya "how are you two already almost halfway done?!"

Ryuu looks at him "Cause we aren't arguing about it every 3 seconds."

Sugaya "Okay that's Mimura and Fuwa."

Fuwa "We've finished 3 and half slides."

Mimura is just laying on the dirt clearly not have a single fuck to give "One is the title slide. Another is the work cited and its blank. All we did was what I did yesterday and she's trying to plan a fucken wedding."

Okajima pokes him "Are you dead???"

"Just inside…"

All "Oh same."

Ryuu looks at his phone.

Rinka looks at his lock screen "You didn't change it?"

Ryuu blushes softly unlocking his phone "You look cute okay."

She blushes softly not noticing the others watching "Idiot Ryuu…"

He smiles fondly

Sugaya "Told you. They can't go five minutes without flirting."

Rinka looks away and Ryuu covers his cheeks

Okajima "I seriously don't understand why you get so bashful randomly."

Mimura still on the floor "You know neither are good with emotions. Need I remind you what Chiba said the other day?"

Ryuu drops an acorn on him "Shut up. I was half asleep."

Sugaya points at him with his pencil "You still said it. And didn't deny it~"

Rinka "Didn't deny what?"

Ryuu blushes "Nothing!!"

Sugaya "Dumbass."

"Traitor."

"Emo."

"Undercover fanboy."

"Obvious loverboy."

"Oh shut up."

Sugaya smirks "Whatever you say soft boi."

Ryuu rolls his eyes "I'm not."

Rinka just looks at him "Oh really now????"

Ryuu covers her mouth "You shut up too."

Rinka smirks and kisses his hand making him pull away blushing deeply

Ryuu "Did you just?!"

Rinka smirks "Don't put your over my mouth then."

Sugaya smirks "Soft boii."

Kurahashi "Chiba? Are you blushing??"

Ryuu "Well it's time for Karasuma-sensei's class! Mimura get off the floor."

Mimura "just drag me back."

Okajima smirks "Chiba get his legs. Sugaya arms."

Both boys smirk jumping down the trees and grab him

Mimura "Wait shit!! Put me down!! Nothing good ever follows those smirks!!!"

The girls just pull out their phones to record.

Ryuu's on one side of the river and Sugaya's on the other and they're holding Mimura over the water.

Mimura "What the fuck guys!!!"

He looks up at Ryuu almost seeing his eyes but not quite

Ryuu "Are you seriously trying to see my eyes right now."

Mimura "How is that worse than hanging me over a river?"

Sugaya "Drop him in?"

Mimura sighs "Can we just go to Karasuma-sensei's class?"

Ryuu "You have absolutely zero fucks to give right now."

Mimura "I'm running off of 2 hours of sleep. I mixed like 3 different energy drinks into my coffee."

Ryuu "…And you guys say I'm the emo one???"

"You are."

"Ryuu. Literally everything on your playlist is emo."

Ryuu "Rin I'll throw you into the river instead on Mimura."

Fuwa "Just don't kill him. Race you all backs to the class."

Sugaya and Ryuu drop Mimura before parkouring back to the class with the others.

Mimura screeches following them "CHIBA SUGAYA YOU TWO ARE DEAD!!!!"

Both laugh swinging from branch to branch.

They all get back to the classroom not very tired.

Karasuma "Hm? There you are. Go get changed."

The boys run off

Karasuma raises an eyebrow "They're surprisingly energetic?"

Moments later

Okajima, Sugaya, and Ryuu stumble out of the boys locker room.

Sugaya "How dead are we?"

Ryuu "Probably very."

The rest of the class comes out and they hide with their partners away from Mimura.

Rinka "You're dead aren't you."

Ryuu smiles "Only dead if I get caught."

Karasuma "Today it's hot so I'll give you a lesson. Training in the pool. Water is your targets weakness. You must be able to move just as good in water as on land."

They all go back and change into the school swims suits.

They get to the pool.

"WAIT SHIT MIMURA!!!"

Mimura tackles Ryuu, Sugaya, and Okajima into the pool instantly

The others in class don't bother hiding their laughs

Ryuu's bangs stick to his face covering his eyes still "Mimura!!"

Mimura "Payback you bastard!!"

Rinka, Rio, Fuwa, and Kurahashi just sigh looking at their partners.

Karasuma "…Not even gonna ask. Just work on knife work everyone."

Everyone else jumps in still amused.

"Hayami your boyfriend and his friend are odd ones huh?"

Rinka blushes holding her knife "They had it coming."

Ryuu touches his bangs and frowns "Great. Now I have to deal with my bangs sticking to my face till they dry…"

"Or you could just… push your bangs back?"

Ryuu makes an X with his arms "Not happening."

Sugaya "Chiba lets spare. Okajima don't let Mimura kill you."

Okajima "Easier said than done!"

Rip Okajima

Home ec

They decide to stay outside the building and not anywhere where Mimura can kill them.

Okajima holds his side "Mimura… I apologized… you didn't have to stab me so hard…"

Mimura smirks glad his clothes dried "Payback."

Ryuu frowns "You already tackled us into the pool. We're even. Let it go."

Mimura sighs "Can I have my knife back then."

Ryuu puts his hands up "I don't have them."

"Hayami."

"Don't look at me?"

Mimura's dart between Sugaya and Okajima who put their hands up too "We don't have them?"

Fuwa spins the knives "You can have them when I get my manga book back."

Mimura sighs "I hate this project……"

Fuwa "It's due Monday. We need to work."

Rinka "Agreed. Ryuu lets do the insurances. I think health, home owners, and property would be all she needs."

Ryuu thinks it over "Alright. She doesn't have a car so she she doesn't need auto. Liability isn't that necessary."

Fuwa "You're just saying that because it was to hard to research."

Mimura's screaming inside.

Ryuu "Fuwa? We all fully support you being a fangirl. You do you. But please stop breaking the fourth wall with every breath?"

Fuwa sighs "Fine. Only cause you actually asked instead of yelling at me like someone here."

Ryuu smiles going back to the project.

Rinka "Did you just break the wall?"

"Go with the flow Rin."

She nods "I found a decent health insurance. PPO has a lot of benefits, fairly affordable, and I don't want to find another."

Ryuu smiles "Valid point." He looks at the screen reading it to himself 'Health insurance. PPO would be best, nurses are exposed to disease and other occupational risks, individual coverage, Annual rate $3,019, and $251 a month. Good. Next slide? PPO benefits? Preferred Provider Organization. So that's what that means! Okay so… More expensive compared to a HMO but is more flexible, with PPO you can choose a doctor to use in the network, PPO networks are wider than HMO networks, if wishing to see a specialist you wouldn't need a referral.'

Ryuu nods "Looks good. I'll do the fixing up house, property, and homeowners insurance tonight at home."

Rinka "Alright. We have a total of 10 slides done. Half way done."

Ryuu "Yup. Also… Just out of curiosity… what did you and Nee-san talk about yesterday??"

Rinka smirks and shrugs "Just girl talk."

Ryuu frowns "Mhmm…? I swear Rin. If you asked her about that I will stab someone."

Okajima "Stab me please!"

Ryuu grabs his knives "No need to tell me twice."

Okajima "Wait no!!!"

Ryuu stops just in front of his eyes "Idiot."

Rinka lays against Ryuu's side on the laptop

Ryuu "Really Rin…"

Rinka "Shut up I'm tired."

He sighs looking at the others "Not a word."

Sugaya smirks "Soft boii."

Ryuu blushes faintly "Nope."

Rinka boops his nose again "Yes you are."

Rio "Ha! Even Rinka agrees!"

Kurahashi "Well she does know him best."

Okajima "Chiba also gets all shy whenever we ask about them."

Fuwa "So does Hayami. It's cute."

Both snipers roll their eyes.

Rio "How long have you two really been dating?"

The snipers look away.

"Soft snipers!"

Both aims their guns "Shut up."

The others snicker at the barely noticeable blush on both snipers' ears.

'Kinda cute…'

End chapter

I had my presentation open writing every scene that the project is in. This's a lot easier to write than I expected? I have all the information already. Only problem? One of my partners opened the slide when I was on it and started snapping me like "Oh??? Since when do you study for this stuff???? You're always all like 'fake it till ya make it'??? Plot twist!!!!" AH HA HA YEA LETS GO WITH I STUDY!!!!! I really should… this counts as studying.

Updating freakishly fast cause I present Wednesday and i want to finish this arc around the same time I present because I wanna yeet this presentation at Mach 20 into an active Volcano.

All information is pretty accurate. I did my research. You can't argue with me I have my work cited and none is Wikipedia ("iTs NoT a ReLiAbLe SoURCE!!!"-Every teacher I've had since 6th grade).

I also wrote a whole ass myth essay on how destruction came to be and it is absolute bullshit. I won't talk about that project because it contradicts with beliefs. My class of 18 year got into a major debate in a different class about if it's even an appropriate assignment.

@lumigo akvo9504 :D!!!
