Someone requested I do this paring and I thought it would be really interesting so here you go I hope you enjoy! (And happy thanksgiving!)
"Are you ready, Manami?" Kayano inquired as she set down a large pink metallic box on the table in front of the small chemist.
"Just tell us when to start." Kanzaki said as she slowly popped open said cubic box.
Manami inhaled nervously before exhaling. She wasn't really ready but there was no harm in doing this, besides her friends really wanted to do this and how can she say no to their faces? Also she was tied up so…yeah… So in response she simply nodded her head giving the two other girls' her forced consent.
The rays of the golden disk peeked through the emerald leaves of the large tree that shaded one of the five virtuosos from the hot gaze of the sun. Ren Sakakibara was leaning against the reliable trunk of the tree reading a recently bought poem collection book.
As soon as he had bought it he had made his way towards a nearby park to read it, however he did not want his fair skin to tan or get burned so instead of sitting on one of the benches that was out under the direct heat of the sun he decided to sit by the cool shade of the tree.
The poems residing in the pages of the book were all love poems. Ren's mind often wondered when he thought of that subject the girl on his mind at the moment was E-Classes' jewel, Ms. Kanzaki. She was such a lovely creature who was very intellectual in the art of literature and poetry. He often wishes she wasn't in E-class not that her being in that dreaded class has ever stopped him from flirting with her. But unlike all the main building girls Kanzaki was not swayed by his words…he must be getting rusty…Hence why he bought the book in the first place. Right now he was reading "A red, red rose" by Robert Burns.
He thought of what he could add or remove in order to tailor the poem to his favorite E-class girl…
He blinked…
He had looked up for only a brief moment but he knew that set of long black locks. Speak of the devil…He smirked… It's as if she knew I was missing her…He mused before sashaying his way towards Kanzaki.
"Good evening and how are you doing my dear?" He cooed as he placed a hand on her petite shoulder.
"Ah! S- Sakakibara–san y-you scared me I uhhh…I-I am g-good…" Came the not Kanzaki girl's replay….
His hand immediately retracted backwards as he inspected the girl's features once again…He was so sure….No looking more closely even though this girl's hair was just as long as Kanzaki's it was not arrow straight like the E-class girl's hair was. It was slightly wavy at the tips and upon further inspection it was obvious that the girl's hair was not the same shade of jet black as Kanzaki's in fact it was more of a very dark plum color that complimented the girl's pale skin. Gracing her cute round face was some light pink blush that had been dusted on her cheeks sparingly which was for the best as a natural blush had already began to form on her cheeks turning them a light shade of red that stood out against her milky skin. She also wore light pink lipstick on her plump small lips and coral eyeshadow that compliment her large taaffeite eyes. Her petite hands were fidgeting nervously with the hem of her skirt as she lowered her gaze to the ground.
Ren blinked at a momentary loss but he was able to regain his thoughts quickly. Even if this wasn't Kanzaki he will admit this girl was just as cute as his E-class rival. Perhaps he can sharpen his flirting skills on this girl in order to finally sway Kanzaki.
"The sun shines on you like a spotlight and I couldn't help but be drawn in by your glowing ethereal beauty."
"O-oh uhh..t-thanks I guess…" The girl responded unsure how to take that compliment…It was a compliment right?
"Today is such a lovely day wouldn't you agree." He inquired.
"Hmm...U-uhh yeah it really is...I like d-days like these b-because its the perfect time to read my science books outside in the sun..." She responded innocently with a happy smile.
"Would you like to join me for an evening gander?" He smoothly inquired.
He could already imagine her going red as she stammered out a small yes in response.
"O-Oh uhh no thank you but thanks anyway." She said innocently before continuing on her way.
Hehe he knew she would say yes...wait..What…What just happened!? Did he get…REJECTED!? No there was no way! He was Ren Sakakibara! He had girls flock towards him in waves!
"S-So another time then?" He called out cursing himself for his stammer…
Cool he had to keep his cool. Be more chill.
"Probably not." She responded honestly. "W-well it was nice seeing you again." She said before going on her merry way.
Wait again? Where did she see him last time? Perhaps school? But he's never seen her before and trust him he knows every girl in the main building. Could it be she just enrolled? But in the middle of the year not likely, so who was this girl? And more importantly why did she reject him? These questions were going to haunt him at night. But, at least he wasn't staying up till midnight thinking about this mystery girl.
…Dark plum hair and ethereal white skin with bright lilac eyes and a voice so soft and honest it made his heart skip…It was 12 o clock at night…
"Well shit…" He had to see her again.
He had to find out who she was or at the very least find what her name was.
"Hey…Gakushuu-kun…"
"What is it Ren? I'm too busy for idle chitchat." Gakushuu coldly retorted his eyes scanning some club requests.
"We wouldn't have happened to get any new transfer students would we?" Ren asked trying to keep the subject to the point and his voice leveled.
"…Transfer students…?" Gakushuu repeated as he searched his brain for the answer.
"Why do you want to know?" Gakushuu inquired as he glanced over at Ren.
"Oh! Um…Just…curious is all…." He responded not having enough time to think of an elaborate excuse…
Gakushuu let out a sigh. It didn't really matter why Ren wants to know just as long as Ren maintains his grades and status.
"If you must know we've had two new transfer students but both were sent to the end class."
T-The end class? That sweet girl was in the same class as those hooligans?!
"I see…" He coolly commented trying to keep his composure…He would have to pay the end-class a visit...
"Manami why aren't you wearing your makeup?" Kayano asked once she saw the petite chemist.
After they gave Manami a makeover they made sure to leave her with her own makeup kit so she could continue wearing makeup.
"O-Oh uhh…it's just…" Manami fidgeted with her fingers a little embarrassed by the answer to her friend's question….
"I uhh I forgot how to use the makeup supplies…" She said sheepishly with a smile.
"If you want Okuda-chan we can help you with that." Kanzaki offered.
"Oh I…I d-don't k-know maybe I'm just not a makeup kind of gal…." She commented.
"Why's that?" Kayano asked. She thought Manami looked really nice in that getup maybe she just wasn't used to it.
"W-Well not only does it feel strange on my face…b-b-but I don't think I look good in it b-because a lot of people were staring at me for s-some reason…."
"Oh…" Kayano said as it dawned upon her, but before she could tell her friend that people staring at her was a good sign she could feel Kanzaki tense up beside her.
Kanzaki was always the calm one of the trio. If she tensed up that meant one of two things…Her parents are here or it's….
"Hello ladies." Ren greeted with a charming smile.
Kayano internally groaned.
"Oh Good evening Sakakibara-san." Kanzaki responded trying to remain civil.
"Sakakibara? Kanzaki didn't I tell you? You can just call me Ren no need for such formalities my dear~" He cooed as he stepped closer.
Kayano immediately moved up in front to shield her friend….Why was he here? What did he want from them? A challenge perhaps? That's the only reason an elite such as himself would come here; is if he had something to gain.
"Why are you here?" Manami bluntly asked taking slight notice of the way Kayano's bloodlust was brewing.
"Well….I'm….I'm here to see those two new transfer students you got early this semester." Ren informed without sparing a glance Manami's way.
"Itona and Ritsu? Why would you need to see them?" Manami asked curiously.
It seemed she was the only one of the three actually trying to hold a conversation with the A-class boy.
"Ritsu…? Is that her name?" He pondered.
"Listen up you A-class jerk what do you want from Ritsu?" Kayano suddenly snared.
"I…I would just like to see her." He responded simply.
"Yes, but why her in particular?" Kanzaki inquired.
"Oh I do hope you aren't getting jealous my princess…Green isn't you color." He stated with a sly grin.
Kanzaki didn't feel comfortable under his gaze. It made her feel nauseous.
"In order to quench your curiosity I just so happened to have seen her by the park and I would like to see if perhaps…she may need some assistance in literature?" He coolly commented.
Seen her in a park? All three thought.
"How did you see her in the park she can't walk on her own." Manami blurted before realizing what she did.
"What?!" He exclaimed.
"No I saw her there! Is she okay? Did she get hurt? Perhaps I should have insisted I go with her? How bad is it? Don't tell me she's in the hospital!?" He babbled clearly worried for…whoever he was talking about.
Manmai could only sheepishly glance over at her friends hoping their quick wit and word play could defuse the situation she created.
"No she's not harmed in anyway…Everything is fine." Kanzaki consulted.
Ren let out a sigh he didn't know he was holding in.
"Oh thank god…" He whispered.
"Y-you see Ritsu….uhh…she…she often has bodyguards!" Manami blurted out trying to help.
"Bodyguards?" He repeated in confusion as he directed his gaze towards the small girl.
"U-uhhh y-yeah her parents hired them!"
"Her parents?" He inquired….What was this e-class girl talking about.
"Y-Yes 'c-cause….she….She is their only daughter and they're really rich so they c-can afford it!" Manami continued not knowing when to stop lying.
"….Are you lying?" He demanded. He knew a lie when he saw one and frankly she wasn't too convincing in the first place.
"I-I uhh I…" She flushed a bright red as she fiddled with her braids lowering her gaze to the ground.
"I know I saw her by the park. I wouldn't forget such a pretty face nor would I be able to forget her lilac eyes."
"Lilac?" Kanzaki questioned.
"But Ristu has red eyes." Kayano commented.
"T-Then….if she is not Ristu then….who is she?" Ren asked.
Both Kayano and Kanzaki exchanged a look before glancing at their bespectacled friend.
"Oh! You mean her." Kayano said.
"Yes it must be her." Kanzaki continued her eyes shifting towards the small braided haired girl as if trying to signal something.
Ren just glanced between the two girls….Was he supposed to pick up on something?
"I do not understand. Do you know her or not?" He asked his patients running thin.
"Oh we know her all alright…we're her friends."
"W-we are…?" Okuda whispered not sure what was going on.
"Oh! Great so when can I see her?" Ren wondered.
Kayano and Kanzaki looked between each other nervously in thought….Ren was rather attractive and out of the other virtuoso he was the most kind out of them…
"Okay here's the deal. We'll let you see her again this Saturday at the science exhibition but we will be following you…after full offense, you are an A-class jerk." Kayano said.
"It's a deal!" He said before making his way back to the main building fully satisfied.
"Wait so who is she?" Manami asked still confused.
"He was talking about you." Kayano said.
"Huh!?"
"He must have seen you in you get up and was immediately smitten…but he mustn't have recognized you without your makeup…." Kayano clarified.
"W-wait so…I have to…go on a date with him?"
"Don't worry Manami we won't let you get hurt in anyway….but let's just keep this date thing between the three of us…otherwise panic will ensue…"
"Oh…okay…" Manami said obediently….
"Who knows this may be the perfect way to get those guys off our back…If he tells you what they're planning next then we can act accordingly." Kanzaki strategized.
"I love your devious mind Kanzaki." Kayano said with a grin.
"It's my specialty." Kanzaki responded with a sweet smile.
Okuda in a baby blue sundress made her way towards the science museum where she should meet up with her…date…
Her heart was racing her head was reeling. What was this feeling? It was anxiety. Okuda has never been on a date. Shocker…! What was she supposed to do? What does she say? Were there rules? Or some sort of rituals like bringing flowers….? Well she didn't know but she did bring some flowers just in case since from what she gathered flowers were usually a safe bet….
But what if he's allergic! Oh no! She didn't think about this!
"Oh! Hello…there you are my dear." A smooth voice came.
Okuda instinctively jumped back hiding the bouquet of red and pink tulips behind her back before she faced Ren.
"H-here I am…." She responded not knowing what to say….
There was a brief pause of silence between them. Ren decided to start flirting by complementing her and breaking the ice.
"You look lo-.." He began but was cut off when a bouquet of tulips was shoved in his face.
"Here!" Okuda exclaimed already a light red feeling embarrassed that she cut him off.
Ren just looked at the flowers dumbfounded….He was never on the receiving end of getting gifts from his dates. He was always the one doing the wooing.
"T-There f-for you!" Okuda stated reaffirming the notion that the flowers where for him.
"I-I hope…you like them…" She said nervously as Ren gingerly took the bouquet in his hands.
There was another pause…Before Ren started laughing.
"A-ah! W-what's funny? Did I say something stupid?" Okuda asked nervously her anxiety getting the best of her.
Ren just shook his head his laughter slowly subsiding.
"No…Haha… i-it's just I've never in my life received a gift from a date…I knew there was something about you I liked." Ren stated with a sincere smile.
Okuda just flushed at his statement…She's never seen him smile so sincerely…
"L-Let's go s-see the science exhibition…." She said nervously hoping to avoid anymore embarrassment as she offered him her arm to escort him.
"Pfft..hahaha…" He started laughing again but he did wrap his arm around hers nevertheless.
"What a charmer." He stated behind giggles.
Manami let out a inward sigh...maybe this date thing wouldn't be so bad...
