Hi there!
I am back ^~^
I am sorry. I won"t be able to answer reviews again. I'll PM and thank you for it (if you have an account) when I have time. All I am focusing on right now is the chapter. But thank you so much for your support and reviews! The number of increasing follows and favorites on this story makes me soooo happy! You guys are the best!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THIS FANTASTIC ANIME (No matter how much I would have wanted to). I ONLY THE PLOT AND THE CHARACTERS I MADE.
I present to you the new and the next chapter!
"What is this?" Misaki muttered as she glared at all the pairs formed , unable to decipher how she was stuck in such a situation.
"Not that bad if you ask me" The blonde model smirked as he looked at the number plate he was given , the number matching the one the raven haired girl had.
"Sensei" Misaki walked towards the teacher who was going through the sheet in his hand and looked up when he saw her approach "There is some problem. Aren't partners appointed on the basis of initials?"
"Yes , Ayuzawa - san. I don't see what the problem is"
"Well" Misaki placed a hand on her hip "Takumi Walker and Ayuzawa Misaki are way apart. How can we be paired together?"
The teacher's eyebrows furrowed together as he looked at the sheet. Sure enough. Ayuzawa Misaki and Takumi Walker were together.
"T-There seems to be a problem. Besides we can't change pairs now. It'll be too problematic"
"But sensei-"
"Either way , Ayuzawa - san. You are a first year. It wouldn't make much of a difference because even if you are paired with someone else , your chances of knowing them is as low as it is now" With that he walked away as Misaki's fists clenched in anger.
"She's mad , huh?" The blonde pop idol asked his partner who didn't look like she would be conscious for long "Hanazono. You okay?"
"Y-Yeah"
"Kaga - san" The blonde popstar turned to the salmon haired girls' calm friend "Hanazono looks a little pale and dizzy"
"Do you probably want to go to the nurse?" The bespectacled girl asked her friend "Would save me the trouble participating" She muttered , glancing at her partner who looked way past uncomfortable.
"No!" Sakura's energy was back in full throttle "We are doing this for Misaki and I will not give up!"
"That's a good spirit you have there" Tora stated as he walked towards the group , stretching his arms.
"Tora!" Hinata exclaimed "What is this?!"
"What?"
"We are a pair! I can't believe you altered everyone's partners and we remained partners like how we had been for the past so many years!"
"Well Hinata. I am as happy about this as you are" The President of the Student Council stated sharply.
"I wanted to pair up with a girl!" Hinata cried.
"I am already paired with one" Tora laughed as Kanou and Kuuga gave him high fives making Hinata almost burst with anger.
"Calm down , Shintani" Tora patted his friend's arm purposely using his last name "Remember it doesn't matter who we pair up with. In the last , on the Sports Festival day all of us are going to be on the White Team. This is just for practice"
"Tora. We'll need two more people to-"
"EVERYBODY!" The screech of a whistle was heard "LINE UP WITH YOUR PARTNERS!"
"Let's go" The blonde model grabbed the amber eyed girl's hand and started walking towards the starting point for instructions and rules.
"Wait up" Misaki stopped in her tracks making Takumi stop and turn with an eyebrow raised. Misaki smirked and pulled her hand out of his grip and in turn grabbed his arm.
Both of them had realized that the upper hand had gone from Takumi to Misaki in a split second. Takumi didn't bother resisting. He was sure of what was going to happen next and so he followed behind her with a lazy smirk on his face.
Misaki had barely taken two steps when the sound of loud screams and wailing almost made her deaf. She looked around and gulped. Crowds of girls had surrounded them and were complaining about the same thing. Rather loudly Misaki would add.
"TAKUMI - KUN! YOU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH HIM?!"
"GET AWAY FROM HIM!"
"THE NERVE OF YOU!"
"SHE'S NOT WORTHY! TAKE ME INSTEAD!"
"NO! TAKE ME!"
"ME! CHOOSE ME!"
"WAAAAH~ TAKUMI - KUN!"
"TAKUMI - KUN!"
"TAKUMI!"
"W-What's happening?" Misaki was faaar from scared. She was terrified.
"That's why you should have let me hold your hand instead"
"I wonder what would have happened then" Misaki muttered as the swarm of girls started pulling on her hair and arms.
"That's it" Takumi put an arm around Misaki's waist "Is it so problematic for all you lovely ladies if Miss Ayuzawa wanted a little of my attention like you girls do?"
With mouth agape , eyes wide and a brain freeze , Misaki stared at Takumi disbelievingly and in shock. The emerald eyed gentleman winked at the raven haired beauty as she realized that he was fooling around.
Placing a hand on Takumi's chest , Misaki leaned within a hair's breath as all the girls gasped and gaped "But baby. Didn't you want this?" She leaned closer , close enough for their noses to brush "Oops. We are in public"
"Ahh~" Sakura fell backwards and Kuuga caught her as she fanned herself "I think if this goes on I'll have a nosebleed"
"Sweetheart" Takumi grabbed Misaki's cheek and smirked "I am always ready for this if you are"
"Someone stop them before Hanazono dies and Kaga bursts" Kanou hurriedly requested , holding Shizuko back.
"But Honey" Misaki purposely looked down and grabbed fistfuls of Takumi's shirt "Please go easy on me.." Looking up again , Misaki bat her eyelashes and bit the side of her lip.
"As planned!" Tora gleefully exclaimed as he tried to make Hinata turn and look who was (for some weird reason) blushing and not looking at the scene going on.
"Don't worry , Princess" Takumi's hand around Misaki's waist tightened "Nothing but the most gentle treatment for you"
"Misaki Ayuzawa and Takumi Walker"
The duo turned to the teacher who had a slight blush on her cheek as she coughed awkwardly "Will you please keep your hands to yourself and refrain from…" She waved her hands around gesturing to the whole scene "Such display of affection?"
Hinata held Tora back this time as he struggled to get out of his grip so that he could kill the teacher for ruining his perfect plans. Sakura turned normal and smiled sheepishly at Kuuga who was busy trying to make sure Kanou would be safe from Shizuko's wrath.
The emerald eyed gentleman and amber eyed beauty sprang apart. Misaki coughed to let the awkwardness that had followed to subside as everyone stared at her. She hadn't meant for it to turn out like this.
"Line up with your partners. And please keep your hands to yourself and don't use them for otherwise until asked to" At this the teacher glanced at Misaki and Takumi with Misaki not making eye contact and Takumi smiling sweetly at the teacher "Other than that please get ready for the *three legged race and every time you scold or blame your partner or fall , the more laps you take. The first team to cross the line gets to choose which team they want to be put in for the Sports Festival. The last team to cross the line will have to go for three rounds 'round the campus" At this everyone's mouth fell open. The teacher was crazy. Not only did the campus spread for miles with about four golf courses (all of 18 holes) but she wanted three rounds around it.
[*A/N: A three legged race is the one in which one of your partner's and your leg is tied together which makes it three legs participating and not four]
"I swear if you pull me down , I am going to make you run my share around the campus too" Misaki threatened as Takumi chuckled.
"But Cupcake , weren't you madly in love with me some three minutes ago?" Takumi laughed purposely using the number 3.
"I love you as much as I want to become a boy"
"And how much percent is that?"
Misaki brought her index finger and thumb together in a circle "Ze-ro" She replied emphasizing on the word.
"Takumi" The blonde haired model turned just as Hinata tossed him a rope "All the best for second. There's no doubt Tora and I are coming first"
"Nice dreams you have , Hinata" Takumi shot back making the chocolate haired boy frown "I am coming first even if I have to pick"- He gestured towards Misaki with his head- "her up"
"We'll welcome you at the finish line" Kuuga smirked getting up from tying the rope and moving his leg which was tied to Sakura's forward.
"Let's all do our best?" Kanou offered.
"The race is starting in 30 seconds!" The P.E teacher loudly shouted which was followed by the screeching sound of the whistle "For everyone not ready make it fast!"
Misaki tapped Takumi's shoulder and gestured to the rope in his hand. Both of them gave each other the same look before Takumi sighed and crouched down tying her right leg with his left leg. As he started to get up , he couldn't help but notice how tall Misaki actually was compared to other girls.
"Nice legs you have" Takumi remarked as he stood to his full height looking down at Misaki.
"And bad manners you have" Misaki shot back.
"Offended huh? It's not like I peeped below your skirt or something"
"So you would if I was wearing a skirt instead of shorts?"
"Who knows?" Takumi teased as Misaki's mouth parted and her eyes narrowed.
"Stay in your pants" The raven haired girl smirked.
"Get in positions!"
Emerald eyes softened a little as amber eyes didn't stop shooting daggers.
"Ready?!"
Misaki's heart beat increased a little.
"Get set!"
Takumi smiled at her. Genuinely.
"GO!"
"Let's go , Cupcake" Takumi grabbed Misaki's waist and together they started running.
And fell.
Almost.
"Easy there" Takumi held Misaki as she was an inch from reaching the ground "Did you forget that the number of times we fall it increases the number of laps we have to take"
"I know" Misaki said very careful not to shout at Takumi otherwise that would be a free ticket for extra rounds.
"Don't worry too much about it" Takumi reassured smiling at her "Almost everyone is equally bad"
Misaki looked ahead and it was true. Almost everyone was as bad as they were. Stumbling and screaming. Faltering and falling. Except a certain duo of candy boy and Student Council President.
"Except your friends" Misaki pointed out.
Takumi shook his head "All of us except them are partners with each other for the first time. Both of them have been partners since middle school during P.E. They are well experienced"
"Didn't you want to beat them?" Misaki turned to Takumi and her eyes widened.
He was smiling at her and holding his left hand out "Will you help me?"
Misaki was lost in depths of emerald orbs before she unconsciously slipped her right hand in his "Let's win this"
