Chapter 2
Outside the narrow window, lightning flickered. A boom of thunder shook the room. Everyone was sitting silently in the class. Others were busy tapping on their laptop. This is ridiculous, Lirin yawned trying to understand the weird factors in her algebra notebook. What does reviving Gyumao got to do with studying?
At the other end of the room, Goku was busy counting the seconds on the wall clock. One more hours to go. "Where is that teacher anyway?" He muttered, rubbing his growling stomach. "If it wasn't for that girl, we would have already had breakfast!" Glaring hard at Lirin.
Today is their second week in that school. Everything is going perfectly fine for Lirin. Anything they did, she always wins or gets good grades. It didn't matter what kind of activity, she always gets to stump and defeats her friends especially Goku. Within days, Lirin stood at the center of attention. Boys would usually follow her from behind. But she didn't really bother and kept to herself.
Goku, on the other hand, it wasn't like school was boring or he was dumb, tight schedule wasn't really his thing. It's like an hour ago it was Artillery and next, it is Machinery. Really, twenty-four hours isn't enough for him. He would spend the whole hours reading mechanical parts and not a single thing enters his head.
Finally, the lunch bell rang, Goku couldn't wait to get out of there. He quickly grabbed his backpack. He walked passed Lirin and a group of girls near the door.
"You're great!" A girl in front of Lirin declaired.
"That was totally awesome!" Another girl gushed. Lirin smiled and tried to push herself out of the growing crowd. "Goku, matte!" She called out as Goku dashed out of the class.
They are really disgusting! Everyone's sick! Goku began to boil in anger. Everyday it's Lirin this and Lirin that. He couldn't take it anymore. Where's the lunchroom?!
"Goku!"
"I'm ignoring you!" Goku screamed out and walks faster. Suddenly a small boy walked in front of him. Unable to stop, they bumped into each other and fell back. Their lunch trays went flying out of their hands.
As they struggle to regain their balance, they watched as the trays sail towards a crowded table. They watched in horror as the content spilled on Lirin's cashmere. She screamed and leapt to her feet. She shook her shoulders, than began grabbing at her sleeve, pulling off red beans and red chunks of tomatoes.
"Look at what you did!" Goku scowled and pushed the boy.
"Me? You're the one who bumped into me!" The boy pushed back.
Soon, they engaged into a fight. Pushing and shoving each other. Plates and more trays were seen flying. The lunchroom began to look like a war zone. Pushing her way through, Lirin stood between them. "Stop it! There's no need to fight." They glared at her and continued slapping and punching.
"STOP IT!" A large fireball began forming on her small palm. "Either you stop of I'll help you."
Silence filled the room. Everyone stared straight at the fireball on both of Lirin's palm. Goku pushed the boy one last time and backed-off. Smiling, she turned around and looked at the other students. "Does anyone else wants to fight?"
Her question was greeted with a low murmur. "One more, tell anyone about this," pointing at the fireball and continued," Tell anyone about this and I'll destroy all of you myself." Everybody nodded. Quickly, she pulled the two boys out of the school.
"That was the most pathetic looking fight ever," Lirin said as she wiped the blood on Goku's cheek and handed a clean tissue to the boy standing behind her. "What's wrong with you both?"
"I'm late. Have to go now!" The boy said immediately trying to avoid Lirin's fierce stare and ran back to the school. Lirin blinked her eyes. "Oh, well.." She got up and pulled out a muffin. "This is for you."
Goku grinned and took the muffin from her hand. He eyed her until her shadows disappeared behind the Laboratory. He took out his schedule and watch and screamed.
"I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!" He dashed past the library. The hallway was silent. Only screeching sound of his sneakers was heard. After a minute and a half, he reached his class. "Thank goodness, I'm only two minutes late!" He said to himself and wiped his sweat. Slowly he opened the door.
SHING!
A small gun was at his head. "You're late,"
Goku gasped. That voice. It couldn't be. He looked up. The tall blonde man stared sternly at him.
"Baka!" twack.
"Ittai!" Goku covered his head. "Sanzo~sa~ma…"
"Baka saru! I'd expect to see you here by ten not five past ten!" Sanzo said angrily and then grinned. "Just go to your seat."
Sanzo walked back and forth the classroom and took out an M-16. He began explaining the various parts of the riffle. Everyone sat very straight, eyes locked on his face. Goku looked around and stared hard at Sanzo. What is Sanzo doing?
"What are you staring at?" Sanzo finally asked.
"Huh, me?" Goku could feel beads of sweat form on his forehead. "I'm staring at…nothing." His voice came out in a choked whisper.
Sanzo shook his head. "Didn't anyone told you that I'm replacing Ms. Maria?"
Goku gulped hard. His heart raced. "Well…"
Sanzo walked to the large book on the table. He traced a line down the book. Yikes! He is looking at my results! Goku prayed hard. I'm dead! I'm dead!
The whole of the hour, Goku sat stiffly on his chair. He didn't dare budge. Every time Sanzo walked passed him, he puts his hands together and wished for him to go away. I don't understand a thing. Hurry time, hurry!
After a while, the bell finally rang. He waited for the rest of his friends to leave and made his way out. Then he noticed the boy he fought with standing behind Sanzo. He seemed to be discussing about something.
"He's reporting the fight, damn!" Goku ran out of the room. He didn't want to wait and see what was going to happen. Pushing himself through the crowd, he managed to spot Lirin waving at him.
"Goku! Goku! Don't sleep!"
The clock showed half past twelve at night. Both of them force their eyes open They were in their room. Semester exam is near and they have to work really hard to get extra credits. "It's no good! I can't even get this one in," Goku sighed, pushing his notebook away and slumped himself on the bed.
"You need a project, Goku," Lirin warned, looking at the mess around the room. "Right away."
"I can't take it anymore!" He snarled back.
She pushed her electronics stuffs aside and began flipping through the pages in the textbook. "Why don't you build this?" Pointing a picture of molecules. "This one is easy!"
Rubbing his eyes, Goku forced himself to the desk. He took a glance at the diagram. "What is this? I a map of Kyushu?" He murmured.
Lirin giggled and pulled Goku closer to her. "It's a diagram of molecules, moron. Particularly the ones inside grenades," She explained, circling the diagram with her finger. "This happens to be the most complicated molecule ever discovered, few years ago."
"Cool!" Goku answered back, popping a few chips into his mouth.
"Stop fooling around!" She snapped. "Sanzo will be furious if he finds out that you failed the last two papers."
Goku sulked and pulled the book from her hand. "How do you build this thing?" Staring hard at the green and red ball-like thing in the diagram.
She pulled open her small suitcase and began pouring all its contents. " Look, you can use this!" She said happily and threw bright red and purple balls at Goku. "Tie them together with these wires."
"There are so many steps!" Goku grumbled.
" Work hard! I have hopes in you," Lirin yawned, pulling a blanket over herself.
Note: Finally! I manage to get Sanzo in there. Ah, Maria is one of the best shooter in Sakura Wars. Borrow her for a while.^_^
