Chapter 2: Assignment
After recess, the four headed back to their own classes. Goku is the first year, so he's heading to the Block A, while Sanzo, Hakkai, and Gojyo headed to the Block C, considering that their already on their third year. They climbed the stairs, up to the third floor, where their classroom is situated. After the tiring ten minutes of stair-climbing, they finally reached the top. Suddenly, an announcement were heard, and it's dedicated to Sanzo.
"Pardon to all the teachers and students. Attention to Genjo Sanzo, please meet the principal at his office, now. I repeat, attention to Genjo Sanzo, please meet the principal at his office now. Thank you."
"Che'... What does the principal want with me now?" Sanzo snorted.
"Sanzo, have you skipped class with Gojyo again?" Hakkai asked, glaring at his lover, Gojyo.
"Hakkai, don't glare at me like that... I didn't forced him to! He's willingly skipped the physics class!" Gojyo tried to defend himself.
"I didn't say that you FORCE him to... It's more like... You influenced him to..." Hakkai said.
"If that's the case, why am I the only one who's being called? There must be some other things the old man want to talk to me about" Sanzo tried to reason with his friends.
"Maybe you're right... Whatever it is, don't die Sanzo" Gojyo tried to crack an unfunny joke.
"Yeah, I won't... The old man will die first"
"Bye, Sanzo" Hakkai said, and Sanzo headed to his not-so-favorite Mr. Principle's office.
Seeing Sanzo out of their sight, Gojyo grabbed Hakkai's waist and pulled both of them to an occult place. Placing his lips on Hakkai's soft ones, they shared a passionate kiss.
"Ehem...." A sound of made up cough was heard from behind the lovers.
"Ze...Zenon!" Gojyo blurted out.
"Can't you find somewhere more private to share you intimate moments other than behind the class' main door, Gojyo, Hakkai?" Said Homura, with a hint of teasing.
Hakkai blushed. Trying to cover up, he took a broom, and swept the floor. "We're just.... cleaning the floor. The floor behind the door is very dirty....."
"Yeah, what Hakkai said is true! We're doing a volunteer work!" Gojyo tried to support Hakkai.
"Right.... With your lips on each others'. New style of sweeping huh?" Miraculously, Shien who always kept silent also teased them.
Silent.....
"Okay, okay! We're kissing! Stop teasing us!" Gojyo finally giving up, spitting out the whole truth.
"Hakkai, you're a bad liar, did you know that?" Shien teased.
"Yes, I know... But, Shien, it's rare for you to tease others..."
"Sometimes, changes are good. It's boring to repeat the same thing everyday"
Hakkai, who is not too comfortable discussing about his love life as subject, tried to change the atmosphere. "By the way, have you all finished the assignment?"
"Yeah.... I don't want the Krakatoa to burst out. How about you, Shien?" Homura said.
"I hate to delay my work, I've finished it a long time ago" answered Shien.
"Gojyo, Zenon... How about both of you?"
"Erm... I think that I lost in somewhere...." Gojyo said.
"Gojyo........" Hakkai voiced out.
"Okay, I totally forgot about it!"
Sweat dropped.
"I also forgot about it....." said Zenon.
Sweat dropped.
"So, what must we do now, Zenon?" Gojyo asked.
"Panic!!!!!!!!!!" Zenon screamed.
"Relax Zenon, there's still plenty of time" Shien said, trying to calm Zenon down.
"Speaking of time, when must we pass it up, Hakkai?" The panicking Gojyo asked.
"The day after tomorrow" Hakkai said with a bright smile on his face.
"The......"
"Day......"
"After......"
"Tomorrow.........?"
"Yes" Again, with a bright smile, Hakkai told the cruel fact.
"Zenon...." Shien said.
"Yes, Shien" Zenon answered.
Shien then continue, "Now, you can panic"
"Panic!!!!!" Zenon screamed, again.
Shien, Homura and Hakkai just watch the two boys screamed in agony.
"Hakkai, Shien, Homura! You must help me!" Zenon plead.
Gojyo, on the other hand, had transformed into a Romeo, kneeled in front of his lover. "Hakkai, thou skin is as fair as the snow, as soft as the cotton, thou eyes art as green as the emerald, dimm'd in the velvety night sky, thou lips is as soft as....."
"Gojyo stop it.... I'll help you with the assignment" The blushing Hakkai tried to stop his lover from carrying the Romeo act.
"Oh Hakkai, I know I can count on you, my love..." Gojyo, who had carried the Romeo's soul in him, took Hakkai's hand and kissed it.
"Gojyo, sometimes you could be real sweet...." Hakkai muttered.
"Homura, Shien, you MUST help me, no matter what!" Zenon plead again.
"Fine... We'll help you" Homura said, giving in.
"Thank you!!!!!!!!!!"
"Homura, because you volunteered to help Zenon, I'll join in too. First, you go to the library and find all the Physics book about Gravity, Momentum and Inertia. I'll help Zenon with the layout" Shien said.
"Ah... Please find the encyclopedia too, okay? Gojyo might need it...." Hakkai plead.
"Who do you think I am? A servant?" Homura said out of anger.
"Homura, if you don't want to help us, I'll cancel your name from the Maple Viewing Party Guest List...." Hakkai tried threatened him.
"So?" Homura said.
"So? So... You couldn't meet Sanzo and..... Goku...."
"Sanzo and.... GOKU?! Okay, what book do you want Hakkai?"
"All the books that Shien wants....And also, a book about Velocity, please"
---*---
Meanwhile, the grumpy Sanzo is heading towards the principal's room. When he reached the door, he knocked a few times, before coming in.
"Ah... Sanzo-san... Please have a seat" The principal said, politely.
"What is it you want to talk to me about, sir?" Sanzo asked, trying to be as polite as possible.
"Actually it's about your exam grades..."
"What about it?"
"Recently, it's been dropping. You're always on the school's top three, but this time you only managed to get the fourth place, Sanzo-san"
'It's just number 4, I'm not dropping down [1] like a rotten jackfruit!' Sanzo cursed the principal in his heart.
"....harder. Sanzo-san, are you listening to what am I saying?"
Sanzo snapped out from his la-la land. "Pardon sir, can you please repeat that again?"
The principal sighed. " I said, I hope you can try harder; for next time, that is. We have high hopes on you, Sanzo-san. In both academic and sports."
"Yes, I will. Is there anything else, sir?"
"No. You may go now."
"Thank you, sir." With that, Sanzo stood up, ready to stepped out from his not-so-favorite principal's office.
"And Sanzo-san..." The principal voiced out.
'What more does this annoying old man wants?' Sanzo cursed the principal in his heart.
However, he still answered the principal politely. "Yes sir?"
"Don't EVER skip the class again"
'So... he DOES know that I skipped classes...' Sanzo silently thought to himself.
"Uh... Yes... May I go NOW?"
"Yes, go on"
"Thank you sir"
---*---
"Stupid Hakkai and Shien! How dare they ordered me to carry all this heavy darn Physics books!" Homura cursed his friends, quite loudly. Thank god there's no one there to hear that.
He is now carrying a huge pile of thick-skinned Physics books, all by himself. Sanzo, on the other hand, was cursing the principal, for calling him to his office all of sudden; was heading towards the opposite direction. Homura, with all the books in his hands, obviously can't see what's in front, bumped into Sanzo, causing the huge pile of books to scatter all around both of them.
"I'm sorry, I didn't..... Sanzo?"
"Homu...ra?"
"Can you get up, Sanzo?"
"Yeah, I'm fine....."
Sanzo stood up, cleaning himself. He apologized to Homura a few times, and ready to headed back to the class, before he tripped on one of the books, causing him to fall on top of Homura. Their lips were inches apart, and they stayed still for a few moments.
---*---
"What is Homura doing? He's been out for half an hour already! I must finished this stupid assignment quickly, or else Miss Amor 'Krakatoa' Dillan will bursts!" Gojyo complained.
"It's not a good thing to call your teachers names, you know Gojyo" Hakkai said.
"Heh, you're the one who started calling her that" Zenon said.
"I just said she's like Krakatoa when she's angry, I didn't say that she IS Krakatoa." Hakkai said, trying to defend himself.
Silent..........
"Stop this Krakatoa conversation guys. I see something more interesting from here" Shien broke the silence.
"What's so interesting? There's nothing more interesting than condemning Miss Dillan!" Zenon said.
However, Hakkai moved to Shien's spot. Hakkai gasped, and he looked shocked. Fascinated, Gojyo and Zenon also decided to join them, what ever it was, that fascinated the two so much.
"Oh my god! It's unbelievable!" Zenon shouted.
"It's unpredictable!" It's Gojyo's turn to be fascinated.
"So, he is available" Shien added.
"If you two don't finish your assignment now, you'll be in trouble" Hakkai reminded them.
"I have a round table!" Said a new voice from behind them.
"??????"
"Well, round table rhymes with 'unbelievable', 'unpredictable', 'available' and 'trouble', right?"
"??????"
"What? You're not playing a word game?"
"Goku! What are you doing here? Aren't your class on the Block A?" Hakkai said.
"Oh, I'm board, they're all going to the Chemistry lab, I hate the subject, so I decided to skipped it. So I came here. Hey, where's the teacher that supposed to teach this period?" Goku said.
"Today Miss Yna took an emergency class, so there's no History for today" Shien answered.
"What are you looking at? You all look amazed!" Goku asked.
"See it for yourself" Gojyo said.
Goku looked to the place where Gojyo pointed. And there, the prince of his dreams, Sanzo, is kissing with Homura! He can't believe his eyes, and tears started to flow out from his golden eyes.
"What? To happy that your grumpy step brother had found his true love?" Zenon said.
"Uh... Yeah... I never thought that they would be together... I'm so happy" Goku lied.
"Hey, let's congratulate them at the party, kay?" Gojyo suggested.
"That's a great idea, Gojyo. Hmm... I can't wait to teased them." Hakkai said, with a grin on his beautiful face.
"Looks like Homura had found somebody to tag along to the party this weekend" Shien said.
"Great... Real great..." Goku said.
'Real great.... Sanzo is already found his true love, why am I feeling sad? I'm supposed to be happy! Goku, stop being an idiot! Sanzo loves Homura, not you. Forget your feelings about him, think that he's your brother, and your best friend! Congratulate him tonight!' Goku thought.
"I'll congratulate Sanzo tonight...."
~To be continued~
[1] I'm almost laughing when I wrote this phrase! Actually, it comes from an old time Malay idioms, 'Macam nangka busuk' (giggles) which can be roughly translated as 'Like a rotten jackfruit'! *LOL* Jackfruit, is one of Malaysia's famous local fruit. It's skin is green, and the fruit is yellow-orange colored. Actually, when a rotten jackfruit falls from its tree, it'll smashed into yucky pieces! That's why, when a person fall down from the stairs, or a student falls down *badly* in his grades, people will say 'Macam nangka busuk'. Can't stop laughing now, the sound seems too silly!
Afternotes: If you notice, I always mention Physics and Krakatoa in this chappie. Well, it's because I HATE Physics from the bottom of my heart, but I didn't hate Mrs. Hanoor, who's teaching me Physics. She's a real nice teacher, and I love her soooooo much! As for Krakatoa, a crisis occur in my class, and my class monitor was really angry. She burst out like Krakatoa! So, that's how I got the idea. Oh, I study in an all girls school, so I didn't really know about boy's attitude in school. I just imagine it! The teachers name, I got it from a Filipino drama series (I guess), 'Pangako Sa Yo'. I didn't watch it, cause I hate that kind of drama.... But my friend is a big fan of it, and she always told me the story. So, that's how I got the name! ^^
