Chapter 11

Mimi grabbed a piece of paper and yelled, "Haru." (A/N: i have an urge to just end my chapter right here, i dunno why though, but i'm not gonna end it here)

'Phew. That was close. I would've failed this class if I was Mimi's partner.' Matt thought.

"Eh! He's not here." Mimi commented out loud.

"Yes. And there's a girl missing too...Ah! Tara is missing." Mrs. Hatoshi observed.

Ring! Ring! Ring! It was the phone in the classroom.

"Hello! Kageru Hatoshi speaking here." Mrs. Hatoshi listened for a while. "Yup...Okay...Okay...Bye!"

Then she turned back to the students. "Okay. Well, as you can see, I just got a phone call from the principal. She just informed me that Haru is not going to be attending school because his relative in England is sick and he has to go see them. And Tara is moving to North America somewhere so she and her family decided that she's not going to finish her school year here and finish it in North America. So, that leaves two of you without a partner...Matt and Mimi, well that's perfect, you two can be a couple.

Matt and Mimi were just staring at the teacher in disbelief while everyone just glared at them. The girls were glaring at Mimi and the guys were shooting death glares at Matt.

"Now that we've got everyone paired up, let's give you all a job." Mrs. Hatoshi exclaimed.

Matt got a job as a rock star/singer and Mimi got a job as fashion designer.

"And you actually have to 'work'. I'll sign you guys different assignments." Mrs. Hatoshi said.

"Aww...Do we have to?" a guy asked.

"Yes, and if you don't, you get an F."

After Mrs. Hatoshi said that, the bell rang. Everyone left their Health class and went to their next class.

On the way there, Mimi was muttering to Matt, "Ugh, I can't believe I'm so jinxed as to have you as my partner. First, I have to have a locker beside yours and now this. Oh my God, I'll have to spend the next two months with you. NOOO!"

"Oh, shut up. You should be happy. You're supposedly married to me. Lot's of chicks wouldn't get the chance." Matt replied.

"I feel sorry for anyone who would want to be married to you. I wonder when they last went to see the optometrist."

"Oh, well, I feel the same for those who WANT to be married to you."

"Why you...I oughtta..."

"What? What could you do to me? Huh?" Matt replied and walked away, leaving a very pissed off Mimi.

The day went by smoothly if you exclude Mimi and Matt's constant bickering at each other.

Throughout the whole day, every girl in Mimi's health class was glaring at her. Mimi's last class was gym and they were still glaring at her. Mimi couldn't take it anymore.

"Why are you all glaring at me today?" Mimi asked.

Sora, who was in Mimi's gym class, answered. "Oh, I dunno, other than the fact that the all the guys are drooling over you and the fact that Matt got to be your partner for your health class, I really don't know why they're all glaring at you." Sora's voice was totally dripping with sarcasm.

"How did you know Matt was my partner when you're not in my health class?" Mimi questioned.

"Words spread quickly." Sora simply answered.

"Oh! Well, to all you people glaring at me, I totally did not want Matt to be my partner. Anyone other than him would be great. So stop glaring at me." Mimi said to everyone in the change room. But, unfortunately for her, nobody listened to her, and they just continued glaring. Mimi started changing and left the change room with Sora.

After all the girls come out of the change room, their teacher announced what they were gonna do that day, which was volleyball. The teacher told them to form their own team. All the very popular girls formed a team while Mimi, Sora, and the not-so-popular people formed a team.

Tai and Matt had a free period and came to watch the girls play. Actually, only Tai wanted to come, Matt just got dragged by Tai to come watch. The girls on the popular team saw Matt and they wanted to win so that they could prove to Matt that they were better people than he thinks they are.

"Damn you, Tai. This is a total waste of my time. I could've gone home early and be sleeping right now. Why the hell did you have to drag me to watch them play volleyball? I really hate you, Tai." Matt complained.

"Shut up. They're about to play volleyball, and I dragged you here because Sora's going to be playing and I have to give her moral support."

"What does talking have anything to do with the game starting and what do I have to do with you giving Sora moral support?"

"Nothing." Tai simply replied.

"I really hate you, Tai." Matt said, frustrated.

Tai didn't really pay attention to what Matt just said, since his mind was focused on only one person, Sora.

Mimi's team was doing pretty good but the team they were against was also doing pretty good. The game was pretty fierce, whenever one team got a point, the other team would catch up.

The period was almost over and Mimi's team needed one more point to win the game. The "popular" team served and someone on Mimi's team bumped the volleyball back. The other team bumped it back. It kept on going like that for quite a while. Then, as the ball went over the net, Mimi jumped up and spiked the ball. The ball was flying at the speed of light. It flew past a player on the other side so fast that her hair was blowing like it was in the wind. Then, everyone heard a smack.

"Whoa!" Matt said, surprised. "That was unbelievable."

Tai didn't reply, he was still staring admiringly at Sora.

"TAI!" Matt yelled, but not very loudly. "TAI!" Matt yelled again, still at the same volume and Tai still didn't reply. "TAI! If you don't answer, I'll tell Sora that you hate her."

"Huh? NO! DON'T!" Tai said, finally answering Matt. "So, what were you saying before?"

"Never mind. I'm leaving." Matt replied and left. As he was leaving, he thought about Mimi's unbelievable spike of the volleyball. 'Maybe she's not as weak as I think, but then again, that could have just been a fluke. This is Mimi here, she couldn't have possibly done that by skill. Why am I wasting my time thinking about this anyway? I've got better things to do.' Matt thought as he walked out of the school.

The bell rang for the end of school. The girls walked back to the change room to change and go home.

"Ahhhhhh! I broke a nail and I just got a manicure yesterday. Mimi Tachikawa, this is all your fault." the head cheerleader said, pointing at Mimi. She blamed it on Mimi since, right at this moment, she despises Mimi. Why? Because Mimi got Matt as a partner in health AND Mimi also caused her team to lose the volleyball game.

"Aww. That's too bad. But does it look like I care?" Mimi replied.

"Well you should care. I can always humiliate you infront of the school."

"Ooohh. I'm shaking in my shoes." Mimi said, sarcastically.

"Grr...I hate you, Mimi Tachikawa."

"That's nice. I hate you too. Life is all good."

"Don't talk to me like that. Do you know who I am and what I can do?"

"Yes, I do know. You're a snobby, stuck up bitch that can do, well, nothing." Mimi said, matter-of-factly.

"Grr...You just watch." She said and walked away from Mimi and her group that was with her, followed her.

"Whoa. That was incredible, Mimi." Sora complimented, "No one has ever talked back to Sihara like that before."

"That THING has a name. Hmm...Never knew that such unimportant species living on earth would have a name. Strange world we live in." Mimi commented, making Sora laugh.

Mimi and Sora finished changing and went home, since gym was their last class.

yes, as u can see, i was not able to end it on a cliffhanger. sad, eh? aren't u all disappointed? i enjoyed writing this chapter especially the arguments. but i liked the last argument the best. ya, if i had an argument with somebody like the sihara person i made up, i would say basically what mimi said because that's how i made the argument. i kinda place myself in that position and then i'll know what she should say. Anyways, review please.
