CHAPTER 5: Scheme big

Tokiya feels so unhappy with Tomoko, but he can't bear to break up with her. Not now albeit he's losing control over his feelings. Tomoko would catch him staring at Fuuko inside the classroom. He tried to talk things out with Fuuko, but she would always avoid him.

He gave out a sigh. Suddenly, a piece of chalk lunged to hit him on the head. His classmates gasped in disbelief, he caught the chalk right on time. Giving out a smirk he returned the chalk the same way it was thrown. His teacher grunted and eyed him, signalling him to stop looking outside the window.

"Before we end this class. I shall discuss something *ahem* Now, as you all must know our school will have a trip-" he started to say when the class gave loud screams, roars and jumped up and down.

'Morons' he gave another sigh and turned to Fuuko. She was also celebrating, clapping hands with her friends, when she caught sight of his gaze. Time seemed to stop between the two. A gust of wind came inside the room brushing off Tokiya's bangs.

'Strange. I thought I saw something in his eyes, something that was not suppose to be there' she continued to look at him. Unexpectedly, she was dragged by the roaring class.

"EVERYBODY SHUT UP!" the teacher's loud scream echoed, then everybody turned silent.

"If you don't shut up, we won't go to this trip! Now listen!" he arranged his necktie before proceeding,

"To observe speed and velocity as well as computations, the Science and Math subject integrated with...A TRIP TO THE CARNIVAL!" he waved his hands (like in the cabaret). Some snickered at his attempt to cheer the class again.

"Fine, this trip will be in three days. You will be grouped by pairs each must answer two sheets of paper given to you in awhile" then he proceeded to group them by pairs.

"Girls pick out a name from this box. That person you will pick will be your partner" he called out the first girl and this went on.

Finally it was Fuuko's turn to pick her partner. She gripped her hand and took a piece of paper. Carefully opening the rolled paper, she gave a small gasped.

"Mikagami Tokiya..." she said in a faint whisper. Instatnly, girls look up at her with death glares. Amazing how the mention of their idol's name, would make them snap up even in deep slumber.

She beamed a nervous smile and scratched her head. The teacher gave Tokiya a gesture to come up to Fuuko, he did as told.

"Once a monkey, always a monkey" he handed her the questionare for their trip.

"Baka. Thanks" Fuuko took the papers and walked pass him. Tokiya gave a sigh.

"Don't worry, I won't be a bother." she smiled and waved him a good-bye.

"What makes you say I'm not happy to be with you?"

Fuuko stopped. 'What?'

+++

Three days passed...

Students lined themselves up for the trip, while teachers counted their students for attendance. Recca was busy talking with his hime, Yanagi, telling her how happy he is to pick her.

"I'm sure this is destiny, hime" he gave a wide grin.

"Recca!" Yanagi playfully slapped his arm.

Domon on the other hand was grieving for his lost. His lost that he was not able to pick Fuuko as his partner, instead he was stuck with some nerdish girl who almost looked like him.

"Oh, Domon don't worry I'll answer all the questions and you can go ride! Just stop crying ok?" the girl comforted her, hearing this he looked up at her.

"R-reall?" his eyes were gleaming. The girl nodded sheepishly and asked him to stand up.

For our two main characters, surprisingly, they remained quiet. Tokiya wanted to stay behind the line and Fuuko was forced to follow. Fuuko mindlessly stared at the ground and Tokiya was simple standing there, waiting for the teacher to finish.

'Try and bring up a topic, Fuuko!' she groaned at her inner voice.

"Something the matter?" Tokiya looked at her.

She shook her head, 'How can he remain so calm?!' "Well, isn't it good that we're wearing casual?" she smiled.

'That was lame...'

"Yeah..." Tokiya then had the urge to observe her. 'Still the same style' he thought 'Except why the hell is my heart beating so fast?! Oh yeah, you love her, idiot'

There was a long silence until the teacher whistled for them to move inside the bus. At that momment when Fuuko was about to walk pass him, he grabbed her wrist.

"Let's...*sigh* let's just focus on what we're going to do ok?" Tokiya brushed away his bangs.

'What's that suppose to mean?' Fuuko raised her eyebrow, "Ok!" then gave a weary smile.

Their teacher in charge could have sworn to feel a lump inside his head. He rubbed his temples and gave out a sigh. Standing up to face the wild students, he grabbed a pole and coughed.

The students didn't seem to hear because a paper airplane passed him. He gave out another sigh, "For the love of..."

"Sit down, I don't think they'll listen. Besides, let them have fun and let yourself have fun" the driver moved his head to make the teacher sit down.

"Fine..."

On the other part of our story...

Tomoko crunched a piece of paper and literally ripped it into pieces.

"You okay?" one of her friends asked.

"Of course not!" her friends flinched at her response.

"I'm going!" Tomoko stood up and walked away.

Her friends: Aya, Umi, Kai followed her with their heads. Finally out of sight they turned to each other.

"God, Tomoko hit it big time!" Aya shook her head.

"Ever since she returned from the hospital she's been acting weird" Umi followed Aya.

"Totally, and have you noticed how Tokiya's been avoiding her?" Kai waved her hand. "They're not the same anymore, it's like Tokiya's not in love with her anymore"

"Oh really?!" a voice behind them burst, the three sat up straight. Kai bit her lip.

"Don't you ever say that again, bitch!" she slapped Kai. "I swear to kill that Kirisawa!" she gritted her teeth.

"Fuuko!?" the three gasped in unison.

"And you three are going to help me..." Tomoko smirked

"WE'RE HERE!!!!" Domon cheered jumping up and down.

"Calm down, Domon-kun" Yanagi whispered.

After a couple of further reminders, the teachers let them all frolic around the park.

"Come on" he said to Fuuko, "So Mi-chan where are we going first?"

"Let's finish Math first, Science will be easier" and to that they went to the local fair.

The two were suppose to budget their expenses by calculation. They were given 1000 yen to spend on meals, games and rides. Both walked along the stands looking for a perfect gaming booth. Suddenly, Fuuko grabbed Tokiya's arm and pulled him towards a stand.

"Mi-chan! I want that Doraemon stuff toy!" she pointed at a stuff toy displayeds. Tokiya frowed. The man in charge gave a big smile, "Now now, let's be patient young man and win the toy for your girlfriend." he winked.

"Oh no! He's not-I'm not-He" Fuuko shook her head vigorously.

"She's right" Tokiya gave the man the money and took the bow and arrow.

"Right. That's what they all say" the man winked again.

Aiming carefully he took one last looked at Fuuko, who was looking intently at the target. 'Baka' One..two..three

"OH MY GOD!" she jumped at Tokiya and mommentarily she kissed him on the cheeks.

Tokiya stood frozen and the man gave him a pat on the back, "Not your girlfriend huh?" then he gave the Doraemon stuff toy.

"Here" he handed it to Fuuko, and she accepted it with glee.

"Sorry about that" she walked along.

Aya was the last to jump from the second floor, landing on her butt she yelped in pain.

'Dammit, why do I have to do this'

"Hurry up Aya!" Kai shouted in a whisper (you get it?) at the butt scratching girl.

Once the four girls were out and running towards the nearest bus station, Kai whispered to Aya.

"If we get caught, we're dead!"

"Duh!" Aya gave her a snort and ran faster to catch up.

The bus ride to the local carnival took 15 minutes. Tomoko sat silently as if scheming a perfect plan to ruin the so called date of her boyfriend and the monkey. The three girls stared at her, trying to draw out her plan. Finally, the bus halted right in front of carnival parking.

"We're hear, and ready to attack" she stood up and gave a mischievous smile.
