Chapter Three: A Whole Day Spent With Him
Soujiro and Misao entered the hallways, which was crowed with students everywhere. Soujiro stood there smiling as brightly as ever and Misao was next to him with a frown and rolling her eyes to look at something else. She looked like she didn't want to be with him and it was right. Misao didn't know why but something about him irritates her when she's with him. Soujiro didn't see Misao's expression at all. He was too busy enjoying the new surroundings around him.
"Hey Misao, do you know where our first period class would be?" Soujiro asked her smiling.
"Room 219," Misao said dryly in a boring tone, "It's right next to you on the left."
Soujiro smiled sheepishly as he scratched the back of his head. "Heheh, how stupid I am, it's right next to me!" Misao didn't really care to listen to Soujiro talk. Instead, she grumbled something that sounded like, "No duh."
At that moment, Soujiro knew that instance that Misao wasn't happy. "Misao? What's wrong?"
"Well, for one thing¾!" Misao suddenly stopped and saw that Principal Yamagata was only a couple feet away from the two so Misao quickly changed the tone of her voice and quickly thought of something else to say. "Oh no!" Misao chuckled nervously as she knew that Yamagata's eyes were on her, "I'm just…a little tired that's all! Here, let's go to history now before we're late!" ^_^' Again she chuckled nervously and gave a little tug on Soujiro's arm to pull him into class. Soujiro had believed Misao's words so he followed.
____________________________________~*~____________________________________
In Mr. Saitou's history class, Soujiro sat in front of Misao's desk. At first, Misao was more frustrated that he was sitting in front of her because she thought that he might turn around to talk to her during class but then she didn't really minded that much. Soujiro's eyes were on the teacher at all times, focusing on everything that Mr. Saitou said. Unlike Misao who wondered her eyes at Saka, her so called friend that backstabbed her. Misao eyed Saka with a glare but Saka didn't look at her way. Saka knew that Misao was mad at her and knew that she had been giving her defiant stares but she didn't want to look at Misao at all. It seems to Misao that Saka was ignoring her for some reason.
Misao planned to talk to Saka during the way beginning of class when Mr. Saitou wasn't there but she couldn't spot Saka anywhere. Then during the first couple minutes of class when Mr. Saitou was speaking, Saka came into the classroom late. She gave Mr. Saitou a note and he read it and excused her. And of course, Misao couldn't have been able to talk to Saka then cause after Saka gave the note to Mr. Saitou, he quickly went back to teach the class.
"Oda Nobunaga lived from 1534 to 1582. First of Japan's three great unifiers. Incorporated use of Portuguese arquebuses to warfare called the "Destroyer" for his harsh use of terror. He then committed suicide rather than be taken prisoner by rebels…" Mr. Saitou said.
Misao, however, wasn't listening. She was too busy planning how to get in contact with Saka after class. Misao knew that Saka was trying to avoid her at all cause because of yesterday when she told Principal Yamagata about her and Kenshin. Her plan was after class, before Saka can run off to science, Misao would run up to her quickly and grab her before the little rat ran off or do anything that would avoid Misao. Since Misao had math next and not science, she wouldn't be able to see Saka there.
"Makamachi!" The sound of Mr. Saitou's voice rose with a surprise and startle Misao that gave her attention back to him. "If you would want stare at the wall all day why don't do that inside the principal's office! I heard he got his wall repainted. How does the color peach sound to you?" :( Saitou hehe! Ø_Ø
Misao smiled uneasily and said, "No thanks, I rather stay here." Every one of her classmates was staring at her. Only except Saka but she knew why and the other was Soujiro. Mr. Saitou gave her one last glare and went back to teaching. Misao kept her eyes on Saitou, but that doesn't mean that she was listening to his jibber jabber [Saitou: hey! :( ] Misao didn't know why but Soujiro was pretty strange sometimes. Strange in his own way.

"Class dismissed!"
It was finally the end of history every student rushed their way out of the classroom and into their next class. Misao leaped out of her seat like a person that needed to go piss right away. Now Misao didn't have to go to the bathroom, she just wanted to catch Saka before she goes anyway. And indeed Misao did. Saka was about to rush off but Misao grabbed onto her ponytail. Luckily, Mr. Saitou didn't see it. Actually he was staring deeply at his computer.
"Saka!" Misao said with a quick firm in her voice.
Saka had no choice but to look at her. ^_^ "Heheh…What is it Misao?" Saka kept chuckling nervously at her.
Misao didn't fall for her act at all. "You wretch! Do you really think I'm stupid? I know that you told the principal about what happened yesterday!" Misao's voice a rose every second.
Saka was in denial. "Oh Misao, however do you mean." ^_^ Saka kept playing her 'angelic' act.
"You know what I mean!" Misao roared in anger.
Over where Saitou was…He had heard every word of the two girls talking. He didn't feel like scolding the girls to get to their next period. If they are late then it's their fault. Saitou thought in his head and then went back to working in his computer.
Now over to where Soujiro was…Happy Soujiro was smiling as usual and he was packing up his stuff, his binder, books, etc. Now he, Misao and Saka were the only students left in the classroom. The last student had just left. He looked over to where Misao and Saka was and decided to come over.
Saka saw that the new kid was coming over to their direction and decided to change the topic. "Hey there new kid!" She had cut what Misao was saying to her and was waving to Soujiro. Soujiro had walked over and was now standing before them.
"Hello Saka-dono" ^_^ Soujiro said.
"Oh, just call me Saka."
Misao had that angry face popped up and started to growl. Her best friend was being ignorant as ever.
"Ok then Saka," then Soujiro looked over to Misao and smiled, "Let's go to our second period class Misao or else we'll be late." ^_^ Soujiro grabbed Misao's arm and pulled her away. Soujiro knew tension was growing so he better act fast before Misao punches Saka or do something worse.
While Misao was getting pulled to the door. She gave Saka a sneer and growl. Saka though acted as if nothing had happened. "Bye Misao! Bye Soujiro! Have fun!" ^_^
Misao starred bewilder O.O Saka! Saka! Saka! Misao was steamed. She made sure that Saka would confess the truth sooner or later.
Out in the all, it was crowed by students as usually but not as much. Most were in their class. Misao was totally pissed at what she had heard. "Argh! I can't stand her! That BACKSTABBBBBER!" Soujiro listened to her complained and smile at the same time. "Who is she? What relation does she have with you? She didn't seem that mean to me."
Misao looked at Soujiro and said, "Long story, I'll tell ya later. Com'on let's get to class before we get in trouble."
Then the two walked down the hall to their next class. As they were walking Misao faced forward but Soujiro gave a glance at Misao for a moment as they walk. He smiled heartily and knew that, that was the first time that they had got along.
____________________________________~*~____________________________________
Lunchtime, the best part of any school. Actually recess would be the best part of any school, but this was high school after all so there was no recess. ;_; Anyways, Misao had math as her second period class but Soujiro had English so they had to part their ways but Misao had walked Soujiro to his class so he would know where his class would be and then she went to her class. She got there in the nick of time before being late. Then she had Science for third period but she had to walk Soujiro to Math. Then for fourth and fifth, she had Art and Soujiro had the same. Sixth period was lunch for both of them.
During art class, Soujiro and Misao had to do clay sculptures. It was really messy for Soujiro so he ended up having hands covered in wet clay all over at the end of class. Misao didn't really get any clay because she sculpted it lightly. Since Soujiro didn't have to time to wash his hands at the end of class, he had to do it on the way down to lunch.
"I have to go wash my hands, Misao." Soujiro said smiling.
"Ok then, I'll wait for you in the lunch room." Said Misao then she left Soujiro and made her way to the cafeteria. Soujiro smiled after her. They were getting along little by little. Then he turned around to go into the boy's bathroom but instead he accidentally knocked into someone.
"Oro!" [Meiji: Sorry! ^_^'] It was none other then Himura Kenshin. The oro boy.
Soujiro fell down and the other unknown boy had fallen too. Soujiro saw that the boy had red hair and purple eyes. Soujiro knew that the boy was hurt so he wanted to help the boy. "I'm really sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going. ^_^" Soujiro told the boy then he offered his hand for help. Kenshin grabbed Soujiro's hand and was helped up.
"No no, it's okay. ^_^ My name's Himura Kenshin. May I ask what your name is?" Kenshin asked Soujiro.
"It's Seta Soujiro." ^_^ Both boys were smiling at each other as they were getting acquainted.
"Oh, so you must be the new student here. Nice to meet you." ^_^
"Nice to meet you too." ^_^
"Hey do you want to sit with me and my friends at lunch?"
"Sure. I have one friend with me though. Do you mind if we both sit with you and your friends at lunch?"
Kenshin moved his hands in a gesture that meant no, not at all. "No, not at all. Please feel free to invite them. A from of yours would be a friend of mine."
"Great. I need to go to the bathroom first though." Soujiro held up his hands to show Kenshin the clay that was sticking to his palm.
"Of course! ^_^' I'll wait for you then." Kenshin offered.
Then Soujiro smiled at his newly discovered friend and went inside the men's bathroom.
____________________________________~*~____________________________________
Misao stood waiting on the sidewall, slouching there with her arms cross, waiting for Soujiro. Then she spotted Saka talking to some people on her right. She was only a couple yards away. Misao knew that this was the time to scream at her. No teachers around. Misao went up to Saka and said to the people that Saka had some businesses to do and pulled her away from the crowd.
Misao turned and faced Saka with an angry frown and said, "This is enough playing Saka. I mean it. Why did you rat on me?"
Saka took a sigh. She had been stalling enough. "Alright Misao. You caught me. How did you know though?"
Misao was surprised as she heard Saka said those words. Saka wasn't even feeling sorry at all. Instead she wanted to know how Misao figured it all! "You baka! The principal told me when I asked him! You're not even feeling guilty that you're doing this to your own best friend?"
"Look, listen to me explain. I was really afraid that I would get in big trouble so I told the principal that you did all of it. But…!…before yell at me more. Can't you understand that I didn't want to get in trouble. My mom will hang me." She grabbed Misao's shoulders and said, "I'm sorry okay, it won't ever happen again."
Misao wiggled her shoulders so that Saka's hands would come off. "Yeah, yeah, you're sorry, but I have to hang out with that new kid all day long! That's my punishment!"
"Well at least you didn't get detention, suspended, or expelled. I'm gonna go now. I think your friend is back."
Misao looked behind her and saw Soujiro coming her way. And another surprise was that Himura was walking with him!
"Hi Misao ^_^ I meet a new friend here. His name is Himura Kenshin and I'm going to sit with him at lunch today. And he invited you too!"
O.O Misao
"Oro?"
"Himura?"
"Oro? Misao?"
"Oh good, you guys know each other!" ^_^
