Chapter 6
Warnings: Joumi.
Mimi's POV:
I bounced along, tugging at Jou's sleeve, who refused to cooperate.
"Come on, Jou, we'll be late for class," I urged.
"Of course, of course, I know that... but... but..." he panted, "I can't walk any faster than this..."
I stopped.
"What's wrong, Jou? You look tired," I observed.
"After our date last night, I remembered that I still need to study for today's test, so..."
I started walking again, shaking my head.
"You need to loosen up and relax, you got it? Why can't you be more like me?"
I flashed him a smile, and he grinned. He slipped his hand around my waist, and we proceeded along with the crowd to our fifth class of the day.
"Were you studying all through lunch, too? I missed you," I leaned my head onto his shoulder, and smiled contently. Jou wasn't a dork, contrary to what others say. I know he cares. He's just preoccupied with his grades.
"Have you heard anything about the new students?" he asked me, and I got excited.
"There are three of them - two guys and a girl. I have second with them, and I saw them at lunch. They really stand our," I added in a low voice.
"Oh... what are they like?"
"Yamato Ishida is really hot! And his two friends, Haruka Yulei and Hiroke What's-his-name are... um... average. Although that girl is way too serious, almost scary! Did you have any classes with them yet?"
He shook his head. We neared the classroom, and he held the door open for me.
"Oh my god, there they are!"
Jou's POV:
She wrenched free from my grasp, and hurried to join the crowd around the 3 new students. Really, there was no need, but that was Mimi. I smiled at the look of her chatting away from my desk up front. I was really lucky to have her.
"Hey, isn't that your girlfriend talking to Ishida?" a classmate on my left pointed towards the two.
"Yep, that's Mimi-chan," I smiled. I was proud of the fact that I could call her that.
Somehow that thought made me uneasy, and I scolded myself for thinking that way. If Mimi liked this Ishida guy, then she would date him. But still, the thought of that made me sick.
Somehow I always ended up yelling at my stupidity and then feeling better. I guess that's pathetic, but it's the truth.
"Hey Jou!"
I jerked at the sound of my name. Mimi was waving to me.
"Come here, Jou, I want you to meet someone!"
I put on a smile and rose out of my seat to join the now little group. Only Mimi and the three students remained.
"Jou, this is Yamato, Yulei and Hiroke," Mimi pointed to them, and they each raised their hands in greeting, the boys more enthusiastically than the girl.
"Hey guys. Nice to meet you. I'm Jou."
They didn't say anything, so I continued.
"I heard you guys came down here from Tokyo."
"That's right," the boy known as Yamato nodded at me.
"That seems like a strange choice," I mused, but they didn't seem to hear me, so I watched them for a while.
The Hiroke kid was quietly hanging on Mimi's every word, and I was getting kind of irritated. These people come into our school, and right in the middle of our relationships. I wondered if I should really slap myself for thinking like I own Mimi again. I settled on hitting my foot into the desk, and making it look like an accident. Hiroke was still staring, and I was tempted to do something about it.
Luckily, Akechi came in and started class. No matter how absurd the reasons were, by the end of class, I've convinced myself that I quite disliked the new arrivals.
"Jou, you have to explain the lesson all over again!" Mimi was exasperated as we walked out of the Chemistry and into the hallway, to our last class of the day.
I shot Hiroke a victorious glance, but he wasn't looking at the moment, which was probably a good thing.
"Honestly, that class is so hard, I can't believe you have an A," she continued, "Whose stupid idea was it to make it one of the graduation requirements?" she shook her head.
"Don't worry, Mimi, I'll explain it."
"What would I ever do without you?" she smiled, and stood on tiptoe to kiss me on the cheek. "You're a life saver. Meet me after school! I have to get to class."
She waved and briskly walked to her next class, while I stood there, crowding the hallway, and making people angry.
I looked around for the three sources of my irritation, but thankfully they were gone. I really shouldn't stress myself out. I still had studying to do, and explain today's lesson to Mimi-chan.
Yulei's POV:
"Stupid Yamato," I mumbled under my breath while trying to get into my gym shorts and t-shirt. This plan involved too much of getting involved.
Finally I was ready, and met up with Hiroke and Yamato out on the track. I immediately spotted Taichi Kamiya kicking around a soccer ball. I was about to say something to him, but at the sound of a shrill whistle, everyone gathered around the man who obviously was the gym teacher.
"Right, everyone on the right - put on the blue shirts. Everyone on the left will play against them. Daisuke, did you manage to get a soccer ball?"
The guy who was kicking the ball with Taichi picked it up and held it above his head.
"Good. All right then, play ball!"
He blew the whistle again, and everyone poured out onto the field. As luck would have it, Taichi ran out smoothing his blue muscle shirt over his regular white one. He and Yamato were currently in the lead; Yamato trying to get the ball to go in the opposite direction of where Taichi was pushing it.
I dodged a few people, and ran diagonally across the field, getting closer to the ball. As soon as I reached them, I kicked slightly at the ball, sending it perpendicular to where it was going before. Out of the corner or my eye I saw Yamato trip, clawing the air to keep from falling. Taichi, on the other hand, recovered quickly, gaining up on me from my left.
Suddenly I stopped the ball, and for a split second we were staring at each other face to face, before I kicked the ball through the space between his legs, meeting it on the other side of him, and heading for the goal.
By the time he realized what I was doing, it was too late. He ran after me in hopes of reaching the ball. When I was close enough, I kicked out, and the ball flew, barely making it inside the netted gate, way over the goalie's head. Hiroke huffed up next to me. "Nice, Yu," he panted, and wiped some sweat off his brow. I looked at Taichi, being slapped around playfully by his teammates, and smiled.
***********************************************************************
That's it. ^_^ I decided to put Daisuke in this chapter since I'm pretty much pretending those 3 do not exist... maybe they'll appear sometime in later chapters, but, like I said before, I'm ignoring Daisuke, Yolei and Iori for this fic, otherwise it wouldn't go too well with the story. Also, I've put everyone in the same school. Should've said that in the first chapter, but oh well ^^U
Newayz, please review!!! Comments/suggestions/constructive criticism is always welcome!! ^_^
