Sango and Miroku are the two top students in their class, and now it's the
end of the year. That means class favorites, prom, college applications and
most importantly, VALIDICTORAINS! Just how far will this pair to beat each
other at the academic crunch? Pretty far, I'm afraid.

Chapter 1: I Can Be Class Favorite Better Than You Can: Sango's POV
I stopped taking notes as I heard the P.A. system click on. I was ready to listen to the morning announcements, but some group of jerks were talking and laughing loudly and I couldn't hear. I directed my narrow gaze over to the loudest of them all: Miroku.
He must have felt me staring him down because he turned and looked me in the eye. Upon seeing my scowl he just flashed this annoyingly charming smile and winked. Most girls would swoon and giggle like loons when he smiled at them, but this just made me even redder. "Excuse you! Some people actually want to hear what they're trying to say. You might miss something really important if you keep talking." I hissed angrily, anything to quiet his endless droning.
Miroku just grinned again and bowed. "Sorry, Queen Sango!" he said and took his seat. Of course, this made me want to punch his lights out, but at least now I could hear the morning announcements.
the announcements ended with that final cheesy line and the class went back to it's normal buzzing self.
"Hey Sango!" My best friend, Sai came to sit on her desk. "I'm thinking of running on the ticket for best smile, whadda you think?" Sai smiled.
"You're sure to win, Sai. You've got a great smile!" I reassured her.
"And what about you?" Kamilyn, another one of my friends asked. "Are you gonna try for anything?"
"Guys!" I said rather annoyed. "I'm way too busy. I don't have time!" I shook my head.
"What could you possibly be doing? The term is almost over, and hardly any of the teachers are giving us work to do. Now all we have to do is graduate." Sai drawled.
"Valedictorians never stop working. I've got service learning hours to get in, a speech to write and increase my grade point average by 2.3 points." I ranted.
"You know what, Sango? You're absolutely right!" Miroku strolled over to my desk, hands in his pockets and grinning like a madman. I swear he get's on my nerves!
"What do you want?" I rolled my eyes. Sai and Kamilyn were too enchanted to scold me for talking to him like that. It was sometimes like they were his best friends instead of mine.
"Just to tell you to stop working." He shrugged.
"What? What's that supposed to mean?" This totally surprised me.
"I'm gonna be the valedictorian, so you can quit while you're ahead." Miroku smiled coyly.
There seemed to be steam coming from my ears and my face was turning redder by the millisecond. "Humph! Well, you keep on telling yourself that! Even when I'm giving my speech at the graduation ceremony! You can totally keep telling yourself that."
Miroku only laughed. "Oh silly, silly Sango. You amuse me!"
"I amuse you, huh?!" I growled through clenched teeth and made fists by my side. "Well, I bet I can do anything better than you can. I'm as popular, if not more than you, I'm smarter than you and let's just face it! I'M BETTER THAN YOU!!!" I shouted and gained the entire homeroom's attention.
"Oh really? You're better than me?" How thick could you get? Did I not just say that really loud? "So if I did something, you would beat me or do better at it than me?"
"Yup, that's what I said! I can do anything better than you can!" I shouted back. By now, everyone was crowding around my desk and listening to us- well, mainly me- argue.
"So if I ran for a class favorite, and you ran for it in the female category, you'd beat me?" Miroku asked thoughtfully.
"Yup!" I crossed my arms over my chest and nodded.
"And what about for prom? Would you beat me at a title then?"
"Like a dog!" I smiled with pride.
"Then it's settled!" he clapped happily. My smug face evaporated into that of disgust; I had walked right into his trap. "Anything I run for, you have to too, and we'll just see who wins!"
"Pfft!" I tried one last attempt to save myself. "I don't have time to play your stupid little game, Miroku." I rolled my eyes.
"It sounds to me like your scared. Besides, anyone who's better than me can do all that, college applications, service learning hours and write a valedictorian speech!" he challenged me.
The fact that he said I was scared was enough to fuel me. "Fine!" I hopped up. "Have it your way! But prepare to eat dirt!" I pointed to his nose and he just smiled back.
"See you in the auditorium!" he waved just as the bell rang and walked out the door, his friends in tow.
Kamilyn and Sai practically bombarded me with squeals. "OHMIGOD!!" they both yelled as we headed towards the auditorium. "This is great! Now you can run for a whole bunch of stuff, Sango! You're sure to win since you're the most popular girl in school anyway." Sai tugged on my arm.
"Yeah, I'm gonna run that pumpkin into the ground!" I called confidently and earned a few stares from my fellow classmates.
"So, what do you think he'll be running for?" Sai asked after I apologized for my outburst.
"Well, knowing him, probably best looking, most popular, that kind of stuff. Just like his vain pumpkin-self." I said.
"Well, you've got those categories nailed, Sango." Kamilyn shrugged. "Actually, you guys are pretty alike, so-"
"DON'T EVER COMPARE ME TO THAT PUMPKIN!!!" I yelled and everyone turned to stare at me. "Eh. heh heh." I laughed nervously and quickly found three seats.
"I was just saying, that's all." Kamilyn shrugged apologetically.
"Aw, forget about it." I whispered as Mr. Yoshiona, the counselor for the entire senior class, stood at the podium.
"Settle down students, settle down." The entire auditorium quieted as they noticed the counselor at the podium. "I'm sure everyone here is excited about the end of this term and graduation." The entire auditorium burst into a round of loud applause, cheers and sighs of relief. Mr. Yoshiona chuckled at this and held up his hands to silence the students. "I know you all think the worst is over, but believe me, it's yet to come." Multiple groans sounded throughout the crowd. "Don't worry! It's mostly graduation preparation and stuff. In fact, next period, you'll all be nominating people for class favorites and vote on them next week. We'll also start taking nominations for prom king and queen and such next week. Believe me guys, you're all gonna pull your hair straight out of your head to get ready for the big day!
"So, you'll al be getting a schedule for the next month or so on your way out. You'll report to your regular 5th period classes. When the bell rings, you'll go to the gymnasium and if you want to run for a category, you can sign up!" Mr. Yoshiona explained. "So, if no one's got questions, you can all go to class! And get your schedules on your way out!"
~*~*~*~
"Woah, this schedule is pretty crunched." Sai admitted with wide eyes. "Who knew we had to clean the entire school before we left!"
"It's tradition," Kamilyn explained. "My sister had to do it when she graduated. She said it gave the seniors to leave their mark. She says her and her friends reorganized the entire computer lab and gave it 'feng- shai.' Of course, they changed it back.eventually."
"Oh! Well that sounds kinda' fun." I shrugged. "But right now, I'm worried about what stunt that pumpkin's gonna pull."
"Who? Oh, Miroku! I don't know why you dislike him so much. You guys are totally alike and I think you'd make a cute-" Kamilyn put her hand over Sai's mouth before she could finish her sentence.
I hadn't paying too much attention to what Sai was rambling about, but the last thing she said certainly caught my interest. "What were you going to say?" I asked in a dangerously calm tone.
Sai's eyes widened and she turned red while staring at shoes. "Um, nothing."
"No it's alright you can tell me I won't get mad." I said slowly and still very calmly.
"Really?" Sai asked in a small voice and I nodded with a smile. "I was just going to say that I think you would make a cute couple."
I didn't say anything at first, but when I did, boy was I loud. "WHAT?!?!?! YOU THINK I WOULD EVER GIVE THAT PUMPKIN-HEAD THE TIME OF THE DAY?!?! WHAT ABOUT 'I CAN'T STAND HIS GUTS!!' DON'T YOU UNDESRTAND?!?!?!" I yelled in rage and everyone stopped their leisurely chatter to turn and stare at us. Sai and Kamilyn were cowering by a chair and shaking as if it was -1000 Celsius outside. "Eh, heh heh." I laughed nervously.
Miroku suddenly sauntered out of nowhere smiled smugly. "You should watch what you say, especially when everyone else can hear you." He whispered in my ear and patted my head. "Oh, well! See you next period, on the dot! Try not to be late toots, 'kay?" he said in annoyingly loud and cheery voice. I rolled my eyes and somehow convinced my two friends that it was okay and that I wouldn't bite their heads off before we too headed to class.
And what did you think? Is the plot stupid? Please review me and tell me! I promise it'll get better!
