CHAPTER 2: Results Of Getting A D
YURI
" ITEKIMAS!!!!!!!!!"
" Iterashai Yuri-chan! Don't forget to fetch your sister, ne?"
" HAI!!!!!" And with that, I ran off.
UUUUMMMMM!!!!!!!!!! What a nice Wednesday morning. I had already finished all my assignments, reviewed for all of the subjects we'll have a test today, halfway finished on my projects, star—
My thoughts were stopped when two out-of-breath girls suddenly approached me. I easily recognized them. It was Nayuki Shiori, member of the 'RUKAWA IS A GOD' fans club and her slightly autistic sidekick Sara Ozuna.
Unfortunately, these two are also my only friends here at Shohoku. Nayuki had been my classmate since kindergarten and Sara had been my student since time immemorial.
" Well, well, well….what's wrong with the two of you? Let me guess….you pissed off that first year again, ne?"
" YURI! You've got to help us!"
" EH?!?!?!"
" THAT red-haired monster's after us AGAIN….and it's all Sara's fault!!"
" What?!?!? I was not the one who insisted to watch that kitsune play right?"
" But you were the one who was screaming and shouting like a demented fool inside the gym!"
" WAAAH! Nayuki-sama's really mean!!!! I was cheering for Mitsui-kun, baka!"
" SHUT UP!!! Stop that--"
" Hey, does this conversation have anything to do with me?"
Upon realizing that I was still there, Sara stopped crying then joined Nayuki who was glaring at me.
" Of course! WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!!"
" YEAH! JUST LIKE WHAT SHE SAID!"
" Sara….just let ME do the talking ok?"
" Hai….."
This two are really wasting my time…..
I was about to leave when a very tall red-haired guy suddenly appeared in front of me. I can see that he was really fuming with anger.
" AHA! I FINALLY FOUND THE TWO OF YOU… OH? THERE'S THREE OF YOU EH???"
" No…you've got it all wrong. I don't even know who this two are. In fact--"
" Teme…don't you dare lie to the tensai!"
" Wait….you're not supposed to fight with girls. And we're you're sempais. And--"
" YOU should tell that to your friends, baka!"
" Don't you dare call me baka, do'ahou!"
I saw him cringed when he heard me say THAT word. Then he started getting red. And redder. And redder.
Uh-oh!
He's beyond my control now…..
" AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! LET'S RUN FOR OUR LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
What the--
The next thing I know, two hands grabbed my arms and started pulling me inside the school building while the red-haired guy was just behind us. Fortunately, four guys stopped him.
~~~~~RIIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~~~
And with that, the three of us ran to our respective rooms.
UGH! What a nice start for my so-called 'nice' Wednesday morning….
MITSUI
Math class again. B-O-R-I-N-G….
I should have just skipped this class. I should have just stayed in the court. I should have just --
Just then, 3 girls came running inside our room. They were all gasping for breath. The three of them were my seatmates. I know I should feel lucky to be surrounded by girls but these three are different. Nayuki and Sara are Rukawa's fan so basically, they make me sick. Yuri, on the other hand, is pretty anti-social.
Ugh! They're fighting again….what's new?
" THIS is all your fault. I don't even know why I still hang around with the two of you. The only thing you bring to me is headache." Yuri said while glaring at the two.
" Maa, maa….don't speak so harshly like that. We're you're only friends you know."
" I know. How very unlucky of me."
" Yuri-sama's really mean…."
Yuri was about to say something to the other girl when sensei came in. At last….these 3 will finally shut up.
Sensei began teaching with her monotonous voice. After 10 minutes, almost everyone's dozing off. Sara was busy painting her nails while Nayuki's busily composing different cheers for her 'Rukawa-kun'.
Sheesh…baka!
The only person who was listening attentively to sensei was Yuri.
Wonder how she EVER got together with these two….
" Oi! Why are you staring at Yuri-sama?" It was Sara who was sitting in front of me.
" Eh?!?! Mitsui's staring at OUR Yuri?! Wow…that's new. He usually stares at YOU." Nayuki, who was sitting beside me, butted in.
" Che! I'm not staring at anybody."
" Yes you were. I caught you looking at Yuri-sama. You're being unfaithful, Mitsui…I thought you like me."
" That's because I'm thinking how she ever became friends with the two of you."
" That's because she has VERY good taste." Nayuki replied with a very proud tone.
" Good taste my ass."
" Why you….I hope Rukawa-kun beats the crap out of you!"
" Yeah! Just like what she said, you conceited jerk!"
" Che! The conceited jerk is Rukawa, not me. Honestly, I don't know what girls like about him. And did you know that what you two are doing is called pedophile? He's two years younger….NAYUKI and SARA SUKEBE!"
" WE'RE NOT SUKEBE, BAKA!!!"
Nayuki was about to throw her book at my direction when Yuri, who sits in front of her, turned around.
" Will the three of you shut up?! I'm here to learn, not to hear the three of you bicker AGAIN with each other over some senseless things!"
" But Yuri-sama…."
"….it's Mitsui's fault! He insulted Rukawa-kun and he called us a suce--"
" I don't care whose fault it is! Just shut up…." And then she started jotting down notes again.
" I'll get back at you next time." Nayuki said before composing herself and started writing cheers again.
" I still think you're staring at her…." Sara said before sticking her tongue out and dozing off.
I can't believe two idiotic girls surround me. Maybe this is my payment for all the things I've done in the past. But still…I think one is enough but….TWO?!?!?!?!?!
And with that, I also fell asleep.
Before the end of the class, sensei gave to us the results of our exam yesterday. She said that she's glad that every one of us had a good grade except for two students. Then, she began handing out our papers. People around me started jumping and smiling which means that they passed. Finally, I received my paper.
I got a very big and beautifully written……D!!!!!!!!!!!
And as if getting a D wasn't enough…..
" Hisashi Mitsui and Sara Ozuna, please stay after class. The rest of you may go now and have your lunch."
GREAT. JUST GREAT. The identity of those two who didn't pass the test wasn't too hard for the rest of senior math, period one, to figure out.
SHIT!
~ Meanwhile, at the cafeteria ~
YURI
" Nayuki, what did you get?"
" A B+. Not bad, if I may say so. Usually, I receive a B or B- but now, I've got B+. How about you?"
" A+."
" SUGOI!! Well, I shouldn't have asked you. It'll be a surprise if you get anything lower than an A."
" Flattery will get you nowhere. Ei, do you know what Sara got?"
" A very nice and gracefully written C-. Cool huh?!"
" That baka! I taught her the whole weekend but she still didn't pass. I don't know what I'll do to her."
" Oi! Don't be too rude to her. You know her mom's in the hospital right?"
" Yeah….sorry. How's her mom going anyway?"
Then, Sara suddenly popped out of nowhere and screamed, " SHE'S FINE!!!!"
I almost sputtered the food I was eating while Nayuki fell from her chair.
" Hehehehe…I scared the two of you didn't I? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
We just glared at her so she eventually stopped laughing.
" WHY are you here anyway?" Nayuki was obviously controlling her temper.
" Sensei said that she'd give me another chance. You'd tutor me, ne Yuri?"
" That depends."
" Eh?"
" I might have a full schedule on my tutoring job. There are a lot of stupid people out there you know."
" Yuri! You're pretty mean today. What's wrong?"
Nayuki looked at me, concern reflected in her eyes. Sara just looked at me with her eyes glistening with tears. I suddenly felt guilty about my previous remark.
" I'm fine. I just don't feel like being goody-goody today BECAUSE the two of you ruined my morning."
" Fine. Just give us a notice when you're back to normal again." Nayuki said before taking a bite on her sandwich.
" Ok….by the way, Sara, you're with that Mitsui guy right? Where is he?"
MITSUI
" I can't believe I got a D." I said furiously.
Ill be dead after sensei calls my parents…SHIT!.
" I can." Kogure said while Miyagi and Sakuragi just nodded their heads while trying hard not to snicker.
" What's that supposed to mean?" I asked, hurt.
" Well, your mind hasn't exactly been on school lately. I mean, you're not burning the midnight oil studying, are you?"
" Not really," I admitted. " But come on, I've kind of had a lot going on since school started, and I had planned on more for the test but it's just I get stumped when I'm doing my homework. And I had been very busy lately. You know, practicing for our games. Besides, there are far more other things more important than math. And that's basketball."
" Micchi and his excuses." Sakuragi said while shaking his head. " You should have just asked help from this tensai. I would have gladly tutored you."
" Or you could have asked help from Aya-chan. She's pretty smart."
" Haruko-san too…."
" You two are not helping me at all."
" So, what are you planning to say to your parents?" Kogure asked.
" Don't know….."
~ Later that afternoon ~
YURI
Finally….classes are finished. I can now leave this place.
" Oi Yuri! Wanna go with us to the mall? I heard there's a sale today!" Sara asked me.
" Ummm…I can't."
" How about go with us watch Rukawa-kun and annoy that first year again?"
" I REALLY can't. I still have to drop by at B.A.R.F. and I have to fetch my sister and prepare dinner and everything. And even if I'm not busy, I would never resort to go with the two of you and watch sweaty guys fight over a ball and actually cheer for them. PATHETIC. They should just buy their own ball."
" You don't know ANYTHING about basketball, do you?" Nayuki asked me.
" No, and I don't care. Knowing
what basketball is wouldn't help me make money, ne?"
" Ok,Ok….you don't have to get angry. You're mom's working overtime again?"
" Yeah….rent's due next week."
" Wait! I thought it's your day off today at that disgusting place." Sara said while packing her bag.
" Well, I've got to check if I can get any tutoring job now. I really need the money. And for the nth time, THAT place is NOT disgusting."
" Anything related to studying is disgusting." Sara said thoughtfully.
" I totally agree with you." Nayuki said before giving each other a high-five.
" Whatever…." I rolled my eyes.
" So, we guess we'll just see you tomorrow."
" I guess….but I hope not."
" EH?!?!?!" They said in unison.
" I don't want to run again to save myself from death so early in the morning for a really stupid reason. JA!"
And with that, I left them gaping at me.
MITSUI
I wonder if sensei already called my parents….SHIT! What will I say to them?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Because I was thinking too much on my impending doom, I played not to well on our practice game.
" OI Micchi! Tired already?! You're really not a match for the tensai. NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
" Do'ahou."
" Teme kitsune…."
" URUSAI!!!!" It was Akagi. He gave Sakuragi a Gori punch that made him shut up. Thank God for Akagi.
After 1 hour, practice was over. I was still thinking of different alibis when I heard Kogure call out my name.
" HUH?! What do you want?"
" Anou….Anzai-sensei wants to speak with you."
" About what?"
" I don't know but it seems important."
" Do you think it's related to my D?"
" Maybe….I don't really know."
SHIT! Now my basketball life is ruined. SHIT!
ANZAI-sensei
" Mitsui, your parents came today at my house. They informed me about your current situation. They were asking me if it would be better if you'd just drop from the team. They're really worried about you, much more that you're graduating after a few months from now."
" WHAT?!?!?!?!?! Wha….what did you say?"
" I said no, of course. HO! HO! HO! HO!"
" Oh….."
" Instead, I suggested another solution. I think it's better if we get you a tutor."
" A WHAT?!?!?!"
" A tutor. A math tutor to be exact. HO! HO! HO!"
MITSUI
Was he joking? ME?!?!?!? GET A TUTOR!?!?!?!?!?!
" No way. No way am I getting a tutor."
" It's already taken care of. Your dad left a message on the answering machine of a tutorial center that your sensei recommended. If I may remember, the center's name is B.A.R.F. Unique name, ne? He said you'd be in to start tomorrow afternoon."
A tutor?!?!?
I suddenly had visions of sitting in a cramped-up study room with my math book and some geek teaching me. Then I saw girls running after Rukawa instead of me because I was in the middle of an equation with some stupid nerd.
ARGH!!!! This is too much….
" How long will I go there?"
" Well, until you and your tutor are in agreement that you understand the material. In her note, your sensei said she thought it might take a month or two. HO! HO! HO!"
A month or two?!?!?! This is going to be one kind of hell for me…
Wonder who will be my tutor at that disgustingly named place? I bet she's disgusting….
I REALLY HATE THIS!
YURI
" Ayu, wait for me here ok? I'll just go and check out some things."
" Hai, onee-san!!!"
And with that I left her in the lobby of B.A.R.F.
" Hmmmm….let'see….Ikeda…..Ikeda Yuri……HAH! Here it is…."
I quickly averted my gaze to the right side of my name to see whether I'm 'booked' or not. To my surprise, I found the 4-letter 'magic' word. FULL. That means my services were not just needed for a week or two but for a whole month or more.
SUGOI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I can finally earn lots of money!
I immediately went to the head of the center to confirm my acceptance of the job.
" Are you sure you can handle this?"
" Of course!"
" But you're graduating. You have a lot of other stuff to do. This job might be just a burden to you."
" Don't worry. I can manage everything."
" If that's what you say so, then this job is yours. You'll start tomorrow afternoon."
" HAI! Arigatou!!!!"
" Don't thank me. Thank your student."
" I'd do that tomorrow. By the way, may I know her name?"
" I don't really remember HIS name. All I know is HE'S also from Shohoku. Graduating too."
Oh…a schoolmate. Great. Whoopee.
" Why that expression?"
" That must mean HE knows me….not a good start."
" Don't worry. You can manage everything, ne?"
" Yeah…."
" I'll just see you tomorrow then."
" Yeah…bye!"
I grudgingly walked back to the entrance of the building. I saw Ayu sitting down in one of the benches so I forced myself to smile. I don't want her to worry anyway.
" Onee-san! What took you so long?"
" Ayu, I got a tutorial job!"
" HONTO?!?!???"
" Yeah….so I was thinking we should go out and buy some ice cream first."
" ICE CREAM!?!?! YEY!!!!!!!!!"
" Oi….don't get too excited. It's just ice cream."
" Wow….you should get more tutoring jobs so I'll always get an ice cream!"
" Baka….I won't be able to save money if I'll always buy you ice cream, ne?"
" Hai!! I was just joking anyway….C'mon!"
And with that, we went out of the building and walked to a nearby ice cream parlor.
Wonder who my student is? I hope he's not a jerk…..
