Chapter 3:
Thinking & Science Fair
(Tamao's POV)
After dinner, I quickly finished washing the dishes and went to my room. I just finished my homework when the clock read 10:00. Good, I still have half an hour until I sleep. (Ok, I know 10:30 is early but if you live with Anna…you'll need all the sleep you can get) I sat on my bed and simply thought to myself.
At dinner time, I constantly found myself staring at Yoh.
(Caring/Shy Tamao ST) (Brave/selfish Tamao BT)
BT:Why aren't you doing anything about it? You love him! Anna doesn't know how to treat him the way he's worth. She tortures him. If you take him away, you're doing him a favor.
ST:But Miss Anna loves him. Besides, she's his fiancée and there's nothing you can do.
BT:That's silly. If it weren't for the dumb engagement, you would be the one by his side, not her. And if it weren't for her, you would be the first choice for the Asakura bride.
ST:But there is an engagement and Miss Anna is here. Nothing can be done.
I sighed. It's official. I love someone where there is 0 that he will like me back. I'm doomed to die single. Before me are 2 options.
A) Try and steal Yoh from Anna. Possibility of success: -50
B) Get over Yoh and find a new guy. Possibility of success: 25
The answer is obvious, a little too obvious. Although chances of success aren't even half, it's way better than a negative number. Continuing to love Yoh will only lead to freeloading off them forever. (I'm sure they don't mind though)
Okay, step one: get over Yoh. Just one question: how am I supposed to get over someone I liked since I was a kid?
Before I can come up with any answers, the clock read 10:30. I sighed. I'm doomed. She set her alarm clock and went to bed.
(Normal POV) Next Day
School seemed a lot shorter that day, all except Tamao's last block, science. It wasn't that she's not good at it. It's just their teacher, Mr. Graye. He loves to pick on students that aren't paying attention. Even though Tamao does pay attention, he still picks on her. The only reason she can survive this class is because all her friends are in it as well.
Mr. Graye cleared his throat to silence the class. "All right class, We're going to have a science fair."
No's and boo's could be heard throughout the classroom. After they settled down, the teacher continued, "You must work in a group of two. It has to be a boy girl combo. And no, Horo, you can't work with your sister. Not after what happened last year."
"It was his fault! He was the one who wanted to do the volcano! He was the one that made it! I was only in charged of the research," Pirika quickly said in defense.
"Settle down. Now the question is, should I partner you guys for you? Or to let you pick your own partner?" Mr. Graye said.
Deep down inside, Tamao wished the teacher would choose for them. Isn't it weird, for a girl who has all her friends in one class to not want to pick her partner?
The reason is, she's scared. Her friends are popular. All of them are. Horo has a face of a child and he loves to pull pranks. Yoh's relaxed personality made him very attractive. Being taken by Anna made him even more want-able. Ren, not only is he rich, he's hot. He works out 5 hours a day and gets really good marks at school. But he's also taken so girls only want him even more. (Gosh, talk about reverse psychology)
Even her friends are popular. Anna was cold and rejected every guy there is. (Reverse psychology…) Pirika is very active and optimistic. Being twins with the 'evil' Horo only brought her closer to being the most popular person in the school.
And Tamao? She's a nobody. She didn't have childish charm. She isn't calm. She isn't energetic. She's just a shy, non-talkative girl. Why she even exists is still a mystery to her. Nobody will want to be her partner.
Everyone in the classroom stared at the teacher with the most innocent face they can make (except Tamao). "All right. Pick your partner. You got 5 minutes."
Chaos filled the room as everyone looked for someone to work with. Yoh quickly went to Anna, while Pirika found Ren without breaking a sweat (Mr. Spiky!).
Tamao groaned as she stood in the middle of all the chaos. There is no way anyone will want her as a partner. She groaned again but then heard her name being called. She turned around and saw Horo walking towards her with two of his 'fans' behind him.
Before she knew what was going on, Horo had his arm around her shoulder. "Sorry girls, but I already have a partner," he said sweetly with a killer smile.
"How come I don't remember me saying yes?" Tamao said bravely. Over the years Tamao and Horo became better friends. She was braver in front of him but still very shy when everyone is around.
"Aw, Come'on Tamao. I need a smart and cute partner and you totally qualify," he said, the killer smile remaining on his face as Tamao turned a bright shade of red. "Fine," she muttered.
After everyone found a partner, Mr. Graye continued, "This time, the objective is to make a device that will make everyday life easier. The project will be due on November the 27th. You have a month to finish it. The location of the science fair is the gym. You have today's class to choose what you want to do your project on."
For the rest of the class, the noise level rose to a point where the only way you can hear your partner is if you each had a microphone. Tamao and Horo settled down in the corner of the noisy classroom.
"Let's do something to do with food," Horo suggested. Tamao sighed. All the Ainu can think of is food. The only subjects he gets A's in are gym and foods. She nodded weakly as he started to brainstorm (if that's possible for him…lol) about what to make.
RING
"All right. Before I dismiss you, you must know you have to finish at least a brainstorm due next class. Okay, go home now," Mr. Graye said, preparing himself for yet another year with Horo participating in the science fair by pulling out a book from his desk. The Teachers' Guide on how to Survive the Worst Possible Situations at a Science Fair
No, there are no threats. But I really hope someone can PLEASE review! PLEASE? PRETTY PLEASE WITH WHIP CREAM AND A CHERRY ON TOP SPRINKLED IN CHOCOLATE SHIPS?
