Chapter Ten: Exam day again
disclaimer: Sm= not mines
Aouthors note: I'm almost finished maybe one more chapter and an epilougue I just have to sit down and do the work. But it's so hard to sit inside at my computer when the weather's so nice. But I swear I'll try.The comments AND the critiscms were of great help, thanx.
It was the day before her big exam and Usagi was trying not to think about it. Mamoru had shortened thier lesson so that Usagi could have plenty of time to rest. Usagi skipped home, enjoying the scenery and just feeling good. Spring was turning into summer and the whole city seemed more energetic, more vibrant, more alive. When she got home her mom had made her favorite dish: Ziti parmesean! Her parents even made Shingo do the dishes so that she could rest for her test in the morning. Usagi was relaxing in front of the T.V. in her room when she decided to take a peek at her Chemistry textbook.
"Put that book down this instant!" Minako cried melodramatically, bursting into the room. Makoto, Rei and Ami followed her.
"We came here to make sure you don't do something stupid like last time." Rei smirked. "So your parents are letting us sleep over even though it's a school night."
"And to make sure you can't cram...." Makoto grinned mischievously, pulled out a thick metal bike chain and securely tied up her text books.
"You guys are the greatest." Usagi grinned. She was glad her friends cared so much about her.
"Yeah we know." Rei said haughtily. "now lets play some games."
"What do you guys wanna play?"
"Twister!" Minako cried.
"Twister sounds good." Rei agreed.
"Fine, twister it is."
"I'm playing too!" Shingo called from the doorway.
"No way twerp. Get out of my room!"
"Aww, let him stay, he's such a cute little kid." Minako grinned at Shingo who blushed. Usagi reluctantly let him stay. She dug her mat and spinner out from the bottom of her closet and they sarted to play. Ami decided to be the spinner, since she didn't really like twister. Everyone expected Usagi to be the first to fall, since her clumsyness was legendary. However, all the martial arts training she had been doing recently had really helped her balance. Soon it was only Usagi, Rei and Minako. It was Rei's turn.Pretending to be innocently changing her position, Rei tickled Minako. Minako fell down and glared at Rei.
"I know you did that!"
"Did what?" Rei asked innocently.
Next it was Usagi's turn. Rei tried to poke Usagi in the ribs but ended up falling herself.
"Yeah, I won!" Usagi cheered. "I NEVER win at twister!"
"How could I lose?" Rei moaned.
"Next time don't cheat." Usagi stuck out her tounge.
They played games for another hour or so before settling down to sleep.
Six oclock the next morning all the girls were still sleeping except for Usagi. She had become quite used to waking early and could never seem to sleep late anymore. She picked out her favorite jogging outfit. It was a pink tank top with white trim and super-short white jogging shorts with the words princess written on the seat. She had been saving this outfit for something special, though at the time she had had no idea of what that special something could be.
...My last day jogging with Mamo-chan...I should be happy... I'll get to go to Crown's again.... Then why do I feel so depressed?...
She grabbed her books and sat on her front steps awaiting Mamoru's arrival...
He arrived, prompt as usual. This time they didn't speak but silently enjoyed each others company as they ran through the park. They watched the Sun rise higher and higher in the sky as they jogged around the park. Finally Mamoru broke the silence.
"So your test is today, are you nervous?"
"A little." Usagi grinned " But thanks to my awesome tutor I think I'll do fine."
"So you think I'm awesome "
"No, I said you were an awesome tutor!! Stop being so conceited!!"
"Why does everything have to be an argument with you?"
"Why do you have to make fun of every thing I say?!!" Usagi yelled.
"Because you look cute when you're mad."
"Well, fine!" Usagi said, knowing her face was turning red again. Why did Mamoru always make her blush? They had stopped running and were standing face to face. Usagi was breathing hard from all that running, or was it from Mamoru's nearness. Anyway, whatever the reason, she was feeling light-headed. They both took out thier bottles of Gatorade and sat down on a nearby bench.
"So, You're going back to Crowns again today, right?"
"Yup. But I think I'm gonna spend less time there than I did before. I've got lots of other stuff to do too." Usagi said trying to hide her dissapointment. No more gaming at Mamoru-kuns...
"It's been a crazy six and a half weeks."Mamoru sighed. They sarted reminising about what had happened from their morning jogging sessions, the shopping trip, the track team , karate class, the chocolate cake incident... More had happened in six weeks than she usualy went through in six months.
"You know all that happened because you forced me to go jogging with you." She grinned, resting her head on his chest."Thanks."
"Hmmm... nice to know I'm appreciated."
"Don't get a big head, I still think you're a concieted jerk" Usagi said without much conviction.
"And I think you're a crybaby and a klutz." Mamoru replied, but his voice was so affectionate he might as well have said 'I think you are the most beautiful and charismatic girl I have ever met.'
"There you are!" Rei called out to her friends. Usagi reluctantly moved away from Mamoru who reluctantly stopped playing with her silky hair.
"We came to find you." Minako panted."We all got worried when we woke up and found you gone."
"I'm sorry I didn't want to wake you guys."
"Yeah right you just wanted Mamoru all to yourself!" Rei sneered.
"I did NOT!" Usagi said, blushing. "Besides what do you need Mamoru for, you have Yuuchiro!"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Don't try playing innocent Rei, you guys were on a date that time we went spying on Ami."
"I refuse to continue this disscussion." Rei said huffily, but Usagi noticed she was blushing too. "We have to get to school soon."
"Alright, but could we head back to my place first?" Mamoru asked."Usagi-chan can change and we could eat some breakfast before we go to school."
"Sounds good to me!" Usagi squealed, perking up at the mention of food. Since she started doing so much physical activity she found that she could eat even more without gaining an ounce."What're we waiting for lets GO!!!"
So Usagi changed and they all ate. Makoto made breakfast and showed Mamoru how to cook raspberry muffins. The girls were impressed by Mamoru's neat and expensively furnished apartment. Usagi barely noticed anymore. His house was like a second home to her, who cared if his couch cost $10,000?
"I'll give you girls a ride to school." Mamoru offered at 7:45.
"Mamoru-kun, how are we all gonna fit on the back of your motorcycle?" Usagi questioned.
"I have a car too, ya know."
"Then why did you always make me ride on your motorcycle Jerk-Face?"
"Because I knew you wouldn't want to Crybaby."
"You're so MEAN!!"
"Guys, I think we had better get going..." Ami-chan said, standing between them.
"STAY OUT OF THIS!" They barked in unison and continued to argue all the way to school.
