Gakuto stared out the classroom window.

Class was way too boring. Who would willingly sit in the same chair for an hour doing nothing but just…taking notes? Maybe some…alien…or something. Definitely not a human, though. Sighing, Gakuto turned his attention to the history book in front of him, and started counting the number of words on the page they were supposed to be reading. Yes, he was that bored.

He glanced at his partner who was idly doodling on a scrap sheet of paper. It was kind of annoying, since Yuushi didn't pay attention in class any more than Gakuto did, but he aced all of his classes anyways. Having a tensai for a best friend really sucked. Gakuto put his head down on his desk and started thinking.

Oh yes, that would be perfect.

Shuffling through his supplies, he took out a couple of highlighters. At a time like this, magic markers would be so much more fun to play with, but, as Gakuto didn't have any, highlighters would have to do for now.

Taking out a scrap piece of paper, he quickly started writing out the plan.

"Mission – one: relieve boredom. Two: Make as big of a fuss as possible."

Gakuto paused, his pencil hovering over the paper. He'd have to make this perfect. If he was going to get in trouble anyways, he might as well make it big. Perhaps the destruction of a couple papers, desks, and pieces of chalk…

"Step One: Grab Highlighters."

Pausing again, Gakuto frowned. It had just taken him three minutes to write that one line. Contrary to very popular belief, Gakuto took a while to think of evil plots. Well, he had his moments, but usually he would get Yuushi to help him. He stared at his highlighters.

He crossed out step one, instead writing, "Step One: Get out liquid glue. Then, grab highlighters."

Finally, Gakuto had been able to think of a plan. He'd color his glue with highlighter ink (he'd done it before) and somehow make the whole thing blow up. He rolled his eyes. Blow up? How can you blow up a bottle of glue? Okay, maybe he didn't think of a really great plan. Oh well, he supposed he could just accidentally spill it all over the classroom…

Yes, that would work…he'd done it before a couple of years ago, so it should be fine. Back then though, he was able to pass it off as an oopsy-daisy moment. Now, in his senior year, he doubted he would get away with it. That doesn't really matter though, right?

"Step Two: Take Highlighters apart. Pour ink into glue."

Again looking at his highlighters, Gakuto picked out which color would be best for this project. Blue…pink…yellow…orange. Hm, pink... It was a blinding shade of hot pink, he hated the color…it would be perfect!

"Step Three: Ask to go to the restroom."

This was unexpectedly simple and easy to pull off…four steps would probably do the job. He quickly jotted down step four.

"Step Four: On your way out, pour glue onto as many surfaces as possible. Deny any accusations that will soon follow."

He was done writing his plan. And yes, he had to write it out. You have to write out every plot you make – it was Gakuto's rule. That way, you can look back on each one of them and reuse them later.

It was time to execute the plan. Oh, this was going to be so much fun.

"Excuse me, Sensei, may I use the restroom?"

"Go ahead."

He made sure to close the door after him.

It was only too bad that "he" wasn't Gakuto.

Gakuto stared, open-mouthed at the blue-haired tensai. He looked down and sure enough, there was glue trailing on the floor. Hot pink glue. Glancing around, he realized that no one was paying attention to anything going on in the classroom, so naturally, the trail of glue went unnoticed. After walking out of the classroom, Yuushi went to wash his hands from the excess glue that was dripping from his fingers.

Gakuto groaned.

Looking up, the teacher saw him, the sheet of paper on his desk, along with assorted highlighters and a bottle of glue.

Then, the teacher happened to notice the trail of glue.

Yuushi walked in just in time to witness Gakuto get in trouble.

Oh did he love being a tensai.

Yes, it is possible to take out the ink in your highlighter. Don't ask how I know this.
