Run for the Class President!
By Joyce
Chapter 14 Christmassy Costumes"H-Hey, Pilika! Please don't overdo it…" said Ren worriedly.
Ren and his newly engaged fiancé, Pilika, were standing at the entrance of their school. They were, of course, dressed and ready for their Christmas-themed pep rally.
"Be still, Ren," was Pilika's reply, grabbing his face with her right hand.
In her left hand was a brush with a little bit of red paint on it. Pilika applied the red paint on Ren's nose.
"Uhh…Pilika…I think you might be overdoing it a little…" Ren said, backing away a little from the red paintbrush.
Pilika did not reply because her concentration was given wholly to her "masterpiece". Then, she finished her work with a last satisfied sweep of her brush and backed up to take in the view.
"There, all finished!" she beamed proudly, "don't worry, Ren, I didn't overdo it. You look so cute! You're an absolutely perfect Rudolph."
"Whatever…" said Ren with a slight blush, "…and you're a very nice girl Santa."
"I know," replied Pilika, beaming.
The two then started to walk into the school. Everyone who saw them thought they were a perfect couple. Ren was dressed in brown jeans and a big bronze jacket (with a little bit of fur at the collar) with a red nose. Pilika was dressed the typical Santa costume for a girl. Her skirt was short with white fur at the edges.
As the couple walked into the school, they observed what the other people were wearing. They saw Ryu (in the costume of Elvis Presley) marching around with his fellow sophomores, all dressed as superstars (there was a Marilyn Monroe, an Avril Lavigne, a Paris Hilton, a Brad Pitt, and an Ashton Kutcher). After that, the bell rang and they walked into room D12 to prepare for their homeroom class.
As Ren and Pilika sat down in their seats, Miss Tao came to the front of the class to call for attention.
"Now, I see everyone is dressed very Christmassy today…very nice, very nice…" said Miss Tao, who was dressed in her usual Chinese dress, except that it had red and white stripes on it instead of dragons. She was, apparently, a candy cane (she also had real candy canes stuck in her hair).
"Okay, so let's start the class with roll call from our newly elected class president!" she announced.
There was slight applause when Yoh (who was dressed just like Hao, in a white suit with a black shirt inside and a halo on his head, apparently an angel) walked up to the front of the class.
"First of all, I would like to thank all of you, whether you voted for me or not. You've all been a huge support to me. Now, I will try to do this job the best that I can-" said Yoh, until he was interrupted by a tap on his shoulder.
"Uh…Yoh, it's not really required of you to make a speech, you know. You just need to take roll call, that's all," said Miss Tao, who had tapped him on the shoulder.
"Oh," was Yoh's blank reply, "nevermind, Miss Tao. This'll only take a minute. Okay, continuing on. Second of all I would like to thank Anna for helping me with the pep rally decorations on Sunday. Without her help, this pep rally would not have been possible."
Everyone turned to Anna (who was also an angel in a white dress with a halo on her head, trying to look modest) and gave a polite applause.
"Well, uhh..that's all, I guess," said Yoh, ending his speech, "now, I'll take roll call."
As Yoh took roll call, everyone in the class took this chance to observe everybody else to see how they were dressed. Chocolove was dressed as a Christmas present with a big red bow tied on his Afro hair; Jeanne was dressed as a shining star in a golden dress and so was Lyserg (he was in a bronze suit); Ren was Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer and Pilika was a girl Santa; Horo Horo was a Christmas tree with ornaments hanging all over his costume (since today was a pep rally day, he brought Tamao with him to school, and she was in a dress with Christmas lights wrapped all around); the Asakuras (Yoh, Anna, and Hao) were all dressed as angels; Macchi was dressed as a pumpkin (even though it wasn't Halloween) but, at least, she had red and green ribbons tied in her hair and other random decorations with the Christmas colors; Mari was dressed in her usual dress, except that it was in Christmas colors and she also wore long red and white stockings and had a Santa cap on her head; the Fangirls were all dressed as (think of what you want to be dressed as).
After roll call was over and Yoh the saintly angel had taken his seat, Miss Tao called for announcement again.
"Okay, class, our school principal, Mr. Silva, has announced that today we freshmen are going to compete with the sophomores for our class cheer! We have this period and the next period to make up a class cheer and practice it. We are going to meet in the gymnasium at 10:30. The judges are going to be Mr. Silva, Mr. Faust, Miss Morphine, Mr. Marco, and me. The class with the most team spirit will win!" announced Miss Tao excitedly.
"But whadda we get for winning?" Horo Horo the Christmas tree called out.
"Yea, what's our reward?" asked Chocolove the Christmas present.
"If we win our class will get to go on a free trip to the beach, all expenses paid. We'll get to miss one whole week of school," replied the candy cane teacher cheerfully.
The whole class cheered and started practicing their cheers in time for 10:30…
Joyce: First of all, isn't this chapter (although so short) just so perfectly timed? It's just in time for the festivities! Yay, Christmas is coming…:) and second of all, I'm really sorry for the chapter delay people. :( I had a lot of homework this week…had to do research on Latin America for my brochure project. But this week, since it was Thanksgiving, my school closed for two days and I had time to come write! :) I hoped you like this chapter…some of the inspiration that I had for this chapter was from the movie Mean Girls starring Lindsay Lohan. And, last but not least, thanks for all the reviews that you guys gave me; they really encouraged me to keep writing! So keep the reviews coming! :) This fic is (I think) going to end soon so please check it out often! That's all, I don't want to bore all of you with my talk. Happy Thanksgiving!
