Wishing for You: Chapter 2

In the last chapter, Mai, Anzu and Shizuka was just getting to leave through the huge steel gates of Domino High School when suddenly a mysterious stranger neared them hastily from behind, and began to speak.

"Yeah! So who do you think you are!" Mai said angrily as she glared at the stranger, then turned to face the streets to leave. She just hated people like this who treated others with such disrespect.

"Um... Mai, that's the principal of our school..." Shizuka explained nervously to Mai who now looked very surprised as she gasped lightly, and turned around again to face the principal this time. Shizuka let out a small sigh, as she had finally figured out that it was the principal, but it was a bit too late to stop Mai from speaking out.

"Principal or not, what do you want from us?" Anzu asked questioningly as the three girls wondered what they did to have the principal chase them after school hours. Especially since most of the students at Domino High School thought that he was the best principal they ever had. Rumors told that he let students off from trouble very easily...

"Come by my office in ten minutes, then you shall see..." The principal answered silently as he made his way back inside the school to his office, leaving the three girls besides the exit of Domino High School, as they thought about what they could have done wrong, especially Shizuka.

-10 Minutes Later-

Anzu, Mai and Shizuka stared at the door with the carved wooden sign that read "Principal's Office", as Mai knocked the door three times, but got no answer, so she walked in anyways, with Shizuka and Anzu following closely behind her as the girls all took a seat in the uncomfortable blue plastic chairs nearby, to wait for the principal who was nowhere to be seen at the moment.

-20 Minutes Later-

"I apologize for being late, but the school board was having a discussion about what needs to be done to Domino High School, and your punishment." The principal said embarrassedly as he scratched his head, headed over to his desk, then sat down in his huge wooden chair.

"Punishment?" Mai, Shizuka and Anzu exclaimed in unison. "What have we done wrong?" They asked with quizzed expressions on their faces, as they became more and more nervous.

"I'll get straight to the point, since it's after school hours already, and I wouldn't want to keep you in. Anyways, the school board conducted a research survey in this school, since test scores have fallen in this school rapidly, and found out that 70% of this whole school is in a relationship with someone currently. When we asked the students for the reason, 63% answered that the "Love Wishes Club" had helped them-"

"See, we did such a good job, didn't we?" Mai interrrupted happily as she cut the principal off in the middle of his sentence.

"As I was saying, so, the board decided that this school's average test scores were way too low, even with some of our top students, such as Seto Kaiba, and Shizuka Jounouchi over here, our average only is about 65%-"

"Please hurry and get to the point... I have ballet class after school!!" This time, it was Anzu who interrupted, pleadingly as she glanced at her wristwatch, as frown formed on her face. Her ballet teacher was very strict about being on time, and she had to make up whatever she missed.

"If you girls would just stop interrupting me..." The principal muttered under his breath as he continued on, "So the board ultimately decided to give you three a task, which you three must complete-" The principal replied as he was interrupted again, this time, by Shizuka.

"What if we were to refuse? I have tests I need to study for, you know..." Shizuka asked worriedly as she thought about the two tests she had in her classes tomorrow. Besides, her eventual goal was to beat Seto Kaiba someday at any subject, but that goal seemed far out of reach, since she was always second.

"The board has also come up with a way to prevent refusal. If you were to refuse, you will be automatically expelled." The principal replied flatly as he held up three manila folders, with a single name on each folder, three names that read, "Shizuka Kawai, Anzu Mazaki, and Mai Kujaku.

"Okay... We will accept the task with you speak of." Anzu, Mai, and Shizuka said defeatedly in unison, as they glanced nervously at each other, than glanced over to the principal, wondering what the task would be.

"Your task is to shut down the "Love Wishes Club" that you three created-"

"Is that all we have to do?" Shizuka asked as Mai and Anzu sighed in relief. As much as they would hate to do that, if that was they all had to do, they would be more than glad to.

"Well, since you three keep interrupting me... Maybe, maybe not..." The principal answered mysteriously as he let out an evil laugh in his office as Mai, Anzu and Shizuka became nervous all over again...

-20 seconds later-

"Actually, your real task is to break up all the couples that you three created with the Love Wishes Club." The principal said as a matter–of-factly, like he was used to being this cruel to the students at Domino High School. Had those stories about the principal being nice just a lie created by the principal himself to make him seem like a good principal?

"What!! Are you serious?!" Shizuka exclaimed with a surprised expression on her face.

"We can't just force people apart, you know." Mai added to Shizuka's sentence confidently, as she thought about how she would feel if she was forced to be separated from her friends.

"I guess I'll just have to expel you three, since you three seem so against this idea." The principal said sadly as he opened the folders with Mai, Shizuka, and Anzu's names on it, and got all of the papers out in a neat pile. "You three were such good students, too" He added as he reached over to the paper shredding machine with his hand that still held the papers necessary to keep Mai, Shizuka, an Anzu to stay in school, then turned the paper shredder on. Luckily, he hadn't placed the papers in the shredder yet, but what now? This was a lose-lose situation, either they fail the impossible task and get expelled, or just refuse and get expelled.

"Please don't!" Anzu and Shizuka pleaded in unison as they both brung their hands in front of their face to plead. Anzu and Shizuka absolutely needed to stay in school for reasons that each had. "We will compete the task which you speak of." They said reluctantly as they glanced at Mai to see what she had to say, about this. They were quite sure she would agree as well.

"No way!! I will NOT give in to a cheap trick like this! You know what, this is blackmail! Every student here wants to be here, to learn, talk to their friends, see the person who they like, and for such reasons like that." Mai spat angrily as she put her hands on her hips, then she glared at the principal with raging hatred in her eyes. She just hated it when people took advantage of her like this.

"Mai, we know that." Shizuka said quietly. "But the principal probably would break up all the couples we created anyways, if we left the school."

"So please, just go along with what the principal says, just this once?" Anzu asked. She defiantly didn't want to get expelled, and she knew Mai would feel just the same. 'What would I do, without all of my friends?' She thought to herself as all of her friends' faces popped up in her mind.

"All right." Mai agreed defeated as she clenched her fists and bit her lips, then sat back down in defeat. She hated it when things didn't go her way, and she felt like slapping the principal straight in the face.

Mai, Shizuka, and Anzu got up out from their seats, picked up their bags, and started for the exit, each wondering how they were going to complete this impossible task.

"Oh, and girls? You three will have one week to complete this task." The principal yelled out to the three girls who were now walking down the hallway, but they seemed to have heard him anyways, by the way their shoulders slumped even more when the principal made his comment.

-3 hours later-

Anzu had finished her ballet lessons and got a break from her job today, just to attend the last meeting of the Love Wishes Club. The three of them had met at Mai's house as usual; only the usual happiness seemed to be sucked out of the air. None of them made a move, they just stared at the white expressionless ceiling, and tried to find a solution to fix this problem.

"What can we do?" All three girls cried out in frustration at the same time. "First things first, we have to shut down the club." Shizuka replied sadly as she stared at the posters advertising their club that the three of them had made way back in the beginning when the club was first formed.

"The Love Wishes Club is now closed." Mai said quietly, as she took the posters Shizuka was holding and threw them away into her purple wastebasket, as she sat down and put her hands in her face, as she stared blankly at the white carpet.

"Don't worry, we'll figure something out by tomorrow!" Anzu replied enthusiastically, but her enthusiasm was half the energy she usually had. She always was the kind of person that would cheer you up when you were down, but by now, most of her cheeriness was nowhere to be seen.

Anzu and Shizuka glanced at each other, and saw that Mai seemed very depressed, so they nodded as a signal to leave, each being quite depressed as well, and each went their separate way to get home that night. What would the three girls now do, to pull themselves out of this mess? The only way possible, would be to complete the impossible task.

They might be needing some help, and the most unexpected may just be the key to their victory...


For the next chapter, it will probably be longer than this one!! Some hints of love may start to appear... Thank you for reading and please leave me a review!
