Chapter 7:
Rivalry Comeback
Almost as if there were cameras following Haruka and
Michiru on their date, the following day everyone had
full knowledge of their date. Minako gushed all over
Michiru at the end of the day, "You got to KISS him!?"
Her eyes fell into stars picturing herself being the
lucky gal. Michiru couldn't contain herself, "It was
absolutely beautiful!! He is so the best kisser ever
too! It's like, he knows exactly what a girl wants!!"
She leaned back on her locker in a dream state before
glancing at the clock above one of the classroom
doors. "Oh no! Is that the time!? I'm gonna be late
for cheer practice!!" "And for those boys!" The
hopeless romantic blonde called out, watching her dash
towards the change rooms.
"24, 36, hut! hut! hut!" Michiru could faintly hear
the football players shouting over their cheers and
rallies, maybe it was good thing - she could actually
keep her concentration, despite her watching through
the corner of her eye. They took a short break -
meaning this was the moment when they all watched the
football players raising their skirts just a little.
No doubt the players were ready for it and immediately
began showing off impressing their girls. Haruka
grinned and gritted on her mouthpiece, ready to show
what she was really made of. Upon the snap the ball
was immediately passed to her; she naturally scored a
touchdown. She threw the football down in triumph and
started dancing on the spot grinning at Michiru. The
aqua beauty laughed when Brad suddenly bowled Haruka
over getting up to do his own dance.
"Yeah girls I'll see you next week!" Michiru called
out as some girls waved to her. She sat on the bench
by the school, reading a novel as she waited for
Haruka to finish practice. "Hey Michiru!" She
glanced up to see who was shouting to her before she
realized it was the Quarterback Brad. "Hey!" He took
a seat next to her lifting the book in her hands,
"Ouch, I see you've got Anderson for English class. I
hated that book." "I'm actually enjoying it a lot."
she replied grinning, replacing the bookmark and
closing it shut. "Oh ..." "It's alright, people are
entitled to their own opinions." Michiru reassured
him, making him flush with redness. "Hey I was
wondering, maybe we can go to a movie tomorrow?"
"Uhh, sure. But it's gonna have to be in the
afternoon, I'm meeting some girls later that night."
"Ok, say, 1 o'clock?" "Sure." She immediately
scribbled it into her book before Brad stood up again,
picking up his duffel bag. "I'll catch ya later."
"Bye."
"Hey Mich." Haruka grinned, walking out of the school
doors. "I was thinking that I was gonna have to take
a cab home." Michiru replied, picking her books up
again. "Sorry, Coach wanted a few words with me."
"Nothing bad I hope." "Nah, just wanted to thank me."
Haruka explained with a wink. "You wanna go out
tomorrow?" "Actually, I have plans." The aqua girl
said, as they walked to Haruka's car. "Oh?" "Yeah,
Brad asked me, I didn't think that you'd mind." "Oh."
The blonde glared, flames about to burst from her
eyes. "I mean, no! I don't mind at all! After all,
we've only been on _one_ date. It's not like there's
commitment or anything between us." Michiru giggled
and kissed her on the cheek, "You're cute when you're
jealous." The blonde blushed, "I'm not jealous. I'm
just ... just ... not ready to los--" She faded her
words out fumbling with her car keys. "Huh?" "Err,
nothing, nevermind." "Don't worry, it's not like Brad
is taking me on a date. It's just a movie." "That's
what you think ..." Haruka mumbled to herself, taking
her rage out on the road zooming out of the school
parking lot.
