Konnichiwa! I edited some parts on Chapter 8.. I took the parts when they 'mind communicate' about Risa approaching Suzuki-kun and Otani doing the same for Chiharu-chan. It will turn out that they already know who they like right? So somehow I edited the scenes and this is the best I can make of. :3 Sorry minna!
Author's Note: I do not own Lovely Complex. Aya Nakahara-san owns it.
CHAPTER 8: ALL HANSHIN KYOJIN + LIBRARY = BLESSING REMAINDER DISASTER?
"Itadakimasu!"
"Hey guys, where are you going after lunch? Our senseis will attend teacher's meeting this afternoon." Koizumi, one of the class representatives, informed her friends.
"It's a study period, though" Otani, the other class rep, corrected her.
"Yes, Nakano-sensei said that earlier while you two are in the office," the Darling~ couple exclaimed delightedly. "Let's have a stroll around the campus, Darling~."
"That's a very good idea, Nobu~chan!"
Koizumi sighed. How nice to have a boyfriend that you can still enjoy going to school even study period. She heaved another sigh.
"You are sighing every now and then, Koizumi. Are you an old man?" Otani commented as he grabbed his takoyaki and chewed it mechanically.
Koizumi Risa, not in the mood to argue, just said, "An old woman, perhaps." And she slurped her miso soup soundly. I must find a boyfriend to have a wonderful high school!
"Chiharu-chan," Nobuko called her petite bestfriend, "what will you do after lunch?"
"Uhm. I will study in the library," she sweetly.
All of them – Nobu, Nakao, Otani and Koizumi – just sweat dropped. "Don't be a 'student' Chiharu-chan," Nobu said, "you should take a break once in a while."
"It's okay. I'm having fun," she defended.
"I will play at the gym," Otani changed the subject.
"I'm going to the rooftop to sleep!" Koizumi yawned. They stood up and clean their dishes.
"Otani-kun, Koizumi-san! Nakano-sensei asked you to finish the attendance chart!" their classmate shouted.
"Na-ni?!" They 'silently' screamed.
"Bu-but it's study period, right?" Otani faced his friends.
"Nakano-sensei probably knows that his students are not studying during study period. Most especially the two of you." Nobu said with a smirk. "Might as well he'll make you do your duties." She added. "So, we will leaving you ne? Ganbatte to the two of you." She said in that-way-you'll-get-to-know-each-other tone. She winked at Koizumi and held Nakao's arm. I don't want what you are thinking Nobu-chan, Koizumi thought.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Uwahh! Gladly we finish the attendance!" Koizumi stretched and Otani did the same thing. They were talking happily about Umibozu in the corridor, Otani, heading to the gym, while Koizumi on the rooftop. They were stopped when a man appeared infront of them.
"All Hanshin Kyojin, great timing!" Nakano-sensei greeted them. The pair were about to protest on his calling. "You finished the attendance?" They nodded. "That's great! Please return the books we used last meeting in the library. They are in the office," he pointed the said room. "I'm counting on you!" he waved and walked away, whistling.
"Of all the places! We were asked to go to lib!" Otani said disgustingly.
"You are right! I always wonder why Chiharu-chan wanted to go to lib! It's just.."
"Creepy!" They blurted in unison, both of their hands were trembling in disgust.
Otani walked first, leaving Koizumi stared his back. She smiled, wondering she was happy to spend her time with him, even though it's for a class duty.
As they entered in the library, they turned quiet. Not because they read the sign, "SILENCE", but the stature and stares of the librarian silenced them. Their faint footsteps were the lone noise in the place. They arranged the books in the shelves as Koizumi spotted a familiar profile in the library. Chiharu – chan. She was about to call her, but she remember the place they were in. But as she took a look whom Chiharu is talking to, she bursted an "Eh?!"
"Oi, Koizumi, what's with you?" Otani inquired, praying the librarian did not hear her. Koizumi placed her hands on her mouth. They were surprised as the librarian approached them with a dark aura (thunder and dark clouds visible in background) and glared at the two. She pointed the sign "KEEP QUIET" and glared them once again before going to her station. Koizumi returned her attention to Chiharu. Chiharu – chan and Suzuki – kun are in the library together?
"Koizumi?" her companion asked. He followed what Koizumi is looking at. "Suzuki – kun. Chiharu – chan." He called them. The two faced them. "Otani-kun. Risa-chan." Chiharu said softly. Upon acknowledging them, they approached and took their seats, facing them. Koizumi was first to start the conversation, "You came together?" she was puzzled. Chiharu is not comfortable with the boys.
"No, I just bumped with Suzuki-kun. We were both studying and answering the activities in English. So we decided we study together." She answered uncomfortably, squirming in her seat. Koizumi was quiet relieved and instantly changed to her natural self. "Eh? I forgot about our activity!" Otani seconded her.
"Why not we study it together?" Suzuki suggested.
Koizumi Risa thought she should grab this chance to be closer to Suzuki. Otani Atsushi thought the same for Kanzaki.
"Wait, Suzuki-kun, Chiharu-chan." Koizumi said as she walked away with Otani. "Otani, I think we should study with them to improve our grades, you know." She reasoned, hoping Otani will agree.
Little did she know, Otani thought the same as her.
"Right. Right. We should stick with intelligent students. Birds with the same feather flock together, you know?" He supplied.
"You are right, Otani!"
They returned to Chiharu and Suzuki. They both said, "Yes! We want to study with you!"
. . . . . . . . . .
*Yawn*
*Yawn*
*Another yawn*
*Smack*
"Ouch! What's your problem, Otani?" Koizumi asked as she brushed her head where Otani smacked her.
"Idiot. Do not yawn when everybody is seeing it. It's unlady-like. And. . *yawn* . . it's making me yawn too.." He had another yawn.
"I can't help it. I'm not used to this places." Koizumi reasoned.
They once again concentrated in studying and answering. Koizumi is troubled on a problem and Suzuki noticed it and asked her.
Koizumi blinked. "A-ah, I can't translate this part. It is very difficult."
Suzuki sat beside her and started tutoring her. She smiled. She moves her eyes to Otani, who was being lectured by returned her eyes to her paper and trying to understand what Suzuki is teaching. But what is this feeling? Despite being happy, I can't understand this feeling of slight bareness I felt in my heart?
"Do you understand now, Koizumi?" The said high school girl snapped to her senses as Suzuki-kun called her.
"Gomen, Suzuki-kun, can you repeat it again? Hehe." Nah, maybe because of the atmosphere here in the library…
. . . . . .
ZZZzzz..
*Snore*
*Whistle*
"Risa-chan?" Chiharu asked quietly.
"Otani-kun?" Suzuki whisphered.
And they both sweat dropped.
The called individuals just fell asleep!
"I guess they don't really used in this kind of place." Chiharu commented as she continues to sweat drop.
"Let them rest for a while, they might be tired."
"Okay." And Chiharu paid attention to her paper. "Uhm. Suzuki-kun? I can't answer this problem." Suzuki tutored her, while the comedy duo continues to snore. A student assistant noticed them and tapped their shoulders. "Excuse me? Moshi moshi?"
"Nani?" They asked as the rubbed their eyes and trying to recognize the stranger in front of them.
"I am a student assistant here. Please refrain from sleeping in the library. The head might caught you." The student said and bowed humbly. She cared what will happen if the librarian might caught them sleeping. She turned her heel towards her assigned shelf and grabbed books. She faced them and smile before dusting off the books using a piece of cloth.
The duo were reddened out from embarrassment. Otani excused himself to Chiharu and Suzuki and grabbed Koizumi's hand and exited the library. When they reached the back portion of the building, they stopped in the isolated place, still flushed in red. "You are idiot! Sleeping in the library!"
"Wha-? You are sleeping too!" The red-haired girl argued.
"It is because you are sleeping too! I was infected!" the auburn-haired man reasoned, raising his hands in the air. "You ruined our plan! Instead of getting closer to them, we were embarrassed there! You are impossible!"
"Duh, you complain like an old man. Do not blame me on your idiocy! You are just lazy shrimp! Do not blame me if you're dozing in the library! And why you grabbed my hand and went here, idiot! We can spend longer to them if we did not leave. It's like a soldier admitting his defeat! You are the impossible here!" She pointed him accusingly.
Otani slapped her pointing hand. "You are just an idiot, amazon! Are you losing your mind? Staying there is humiliating! Are you that idiot to not be embarrassed? Argh!" He ruffled his hair to release his irritation. "Life is really complicated. You are tall but your brain is small. Wait, do you even have a brain?" He looked at her like it is the only conclusion he thought.
"Stupid dust! I don't want to hear this from an idiot like you! You are small then it's clearly obvious that brain of yours is small too. The only thing what your brain is capable of is to act like a human, but not to think like human! Shorty!"
"What did you say, amazon?!"
"You heard it, dwarf."
"Shut up, totem pole!"
"Dust!"
"Giant!"
"Microbe!"
"Wha-? Grr! It's impossible you can even get a boyfriend with that attitude of yours!" Otani spatted.
"If you are the last male species in the planet, I would rather have no boyfriend!" Koizumi retorted. After a final glare, Otani ran towards their classroom, infuriating.
While Koizumi was left standing.
This midget is so annoying!
