PREVIOUSLY: "Okay," the teacher started to announce, "representing the boys will be…"
I decided to give their teacher a name, because I think her role will be more significant in the future so I just couldn't call her the teacher all the time so I gave her a name.
"Please be Daisuke, please be Daisuke," Riku prayed in her mind over and over again.
Daisuke for some reason was actually eager to hear whose name was going to be called. He might not have realized himself, but deep down he actually kind of hoped his name was going to get called.
"Okay," Ms. Murrue began to say, "representing the boys will be Hiwatari."
"Hiwatari! NO!" Riku yelled in her mind as she stared at Satoshi. He still kept his usual blank expression.
The whole class started cheering, saying that they will be an odd couple, but it doesn't mean they won't win.
"So Riku, happy?" Risa began to tease.
"About?" Riku questioned.
"Him?" Risa said pointing to Satoshi.
"No way," Riku said loudly, but for some reason she felt that it wasn't that bad.
Daisuke who was sitting by himself let out a little sigh.
"What wrong Daisuke?" Dark said in a sarcastic voice, "unhappy cause you didn't get picked?"
"What are you talking about?" Daisuke said in defense.
"Class settle down please," Ms. Murrue, "Hiwatari, Harada, congratulations and thank you for representing our class, we have a lot to get through to prepare though."
"Um Ms. Murrue?" Riku said as she raised her hand, "what specific events are there?"
"Well there are suppose to be 5 events, but they only gave the instructions for the first one, and the rest is just they'll announce it, meaning they don't want preparation for it," Ms. Murrue said.
"So, what is the first event?" Riku asked.
"Waltzing," this time it was Satoshi talking. Everyone turned to look at him.
"Yes, that's right, waltzing," Ms. Murrue said, "and it says right here that the scenery will be exactly like a ballroom dancing, and the points will be awarded by the judges.
"No," Riku began to yell, "there is no way I'm am going to wear some poof up dressed and dancing in front of people."
The class began to snicker. "Oh yeah, I've never seen Riku in dress, the closest thing to a dress I've seen her wear is our school uniform with that skirt," the class began to say.
"Come on Riku," Risa said, "it's not like you look bad in a dress, I've seen you in one, it doesn't look that bad; in fact you might look even better in one than me."
"Please Harada," Ms. Murrue was up in her face with puppy dog eyes, "you guys just can't understand how much this prize means to me, please."
"It's just some dumb room redecorating thing," Riku said under her breath.
"No it's not," Ms. Murrue said sternly, "you'll be graduating out of this class soon, you don't know what it feels like to be in the same boring room, year after year after year."
"Oh fine," Riku said after a lot of thought.
"Yay," Ms. Murrue squeaked in a child like voice.
"There's just one problem," Riku suddenly said.
"And what is that?" Ms. Murrue asked her.
"I don't know how to dance," Riku said quietly.
"Oh that's no problem," Ms. Murrue said, "we have plenty of time to prepare you for it, Hiwatari, you know how to right?"
Everyone looked over to Satoshi and he nodded.
"Great," Ms. Murrue said in delight, "this will make it a lot easier if one of you know how to."
The bell rang and everyone ran out the door.
HARADA'S HOUSE
"Riku, Riku," Risa called.
"Annoying brat, what do you want?" Riku yelled back.
"That's so mean," Risa said innocently, "I just wanted to ask you, if you needed me to help you with anything for the contest thing."
"Of course not, Risa," Riku said, " the last thing I want is to actually prepare for that thing, I already have to waste my school time doing it, no way am I going to waste my time at home."
"I don't think it's that bad," Risa replied.
"Listen, you don't know what it feels like to be dragged into some dumb contest okay," Riku yelled.
"I would gladly take your place," Risa said, "you should consider yourself lucky Satoshi is your partner instead of some other geek from our class."
"That's sort of true," Riku said quietly, "hey Risa, if you were picked, who would you've want to be your partner?"
"Umm let's see, I think Daisuke would be the best candidate," Risa replied.
"Do you like Daisuke as more than a friend?" Riku just had the urge to know, she knew Risa rejected Daisuke in one part of time already, but maybe over that period of time, Risa had changed her mind.
"Riku, I don't, Daisuke is just a friend," Risa said.
"Good," Riku thought in her mind.
"Well, I'll go back to my room now," Risa said and left.
RISA'S ROOM
Risa was inside her room. The question that Riku asked her kept rewinding in her mind playing over and over again, "do you like Daisuke as more than a friend?"
"I don't," Risa replied to herself, "I love Dark."
Preview of Next Chapter:
"Riku, Dark has sent out a new warning message," Risa exclaimed as Riku walked into the class.
"Like a care," Riku said in a tired voice.
"No, but this one is totally different from the rest of the notes he left," Risa exclaimed.
Riku was hardly listening.
"Riku, it says, TONIGHT AT THE THE STROKE OF MIDNIGHT AND ATOP THE STARLIGHT TOWER, I WILL STEAL A KISS FROM THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD signed DARK"
"What," Riku yelled.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I promise the next chapter will be more exciting, please REVIEW.
