Chapter 14

The Study Camp 4

Misato:

Sakuragi was listening intently to what Haruko was saying.

Meanwhile, Rukawa and I were just staring at each other.

Why the heck did I agree to change partners? I completely forgot about Haruko's "chance".

Baka misato. baka baka baka.

er... this is so awkward.

Rukawa:

She stared at me and I stared back. Neither of us looked away.

Then she said, "uh, so... What were you studying before I interrupted?"

I just kept on staring at her. I didn't know what to say and I wasn't really a talker so I just stared. (mskitsune: gee what an understatement)

"Hey, I'm talking to you," she said, waving her hand in front of my still face.

Apparently she wasn't going to leave me alone so I cooperated: I opened my textbook and pointed to a page that sensei hadn't taught us yet.

Misato:

He pointed to a page and I looked at the contents. It was about a topic that we hadn't discussed in class yet.

I looked at him quizzically; I thought it was a review, not an advance study camp of some sort.

He smirked and I had to fight the urge to slap his smug face with the textbook.

Evidently, he was testing me; he wanted to know if I was "smart" enough to teach him.

Hah. He's goading a math expert here.

Rukawa:

I thought she would complain, saying that we hadn't discussed the topic before. But she just read the page for about ten seconds then started to explain it to me, her gaze never leaving me.

Misato:

you picked the wrong person to challenge, mister. (a gleam appears in my eyes...)
