~Normal POV~
"Okay class, today we are going to organise ourselves into groups of 8 people for the race," Mr Nikaidou explained to the class. Amu was slouched on her chair looking around bored while her fan club stared at her like she was the most beautiful thing on Earth. Rima was sitting straight and staring at the teacher politely. Yaya was very focused on the teacher and was even writing notes...don't even ask what she was writing down. Utau was dozing off with her head on her desk. Meanwhile Kukai was glaring daggers at Utau since he could hear her snore and for him...it was very annoying. Nagihiko was secretly reading a manga while Kairi was...sneaking lollies into his mouth trying not to get caught. Ikuto was staring off into space but perked up when he heard the word race. He raised his hand.
"Yes Tsukiyoni?" Mr Nikaidou inquired. Ikuto resisted the urge to glare at him.
"Its Tsukiyomi," he muttered. Girls started swooning at the sound of his hot'n'spicy voice. Ikuto sighed.
"Oh, I apologise for that, now what was your question?" the teacher asked still looking rather embarrassed for the mistake he had made.
"What race is this?"
"Oh your group will explain that to you. Now please go form into a group of 8 and there must be four girls and four guys. No exceptions," Mr Nikaidou said before going to sit down in his chair. Ikuto continued to stare daggers and him.
"Lazy bastard, won't even answer my question properly," Ikuto thought before sighing and looking for a group to join.
~5 Minutes later~
Somehow Amu, Ikuto, Utau, Kukai, Nagihiko, Rima, Yaya, Kairi ended up together.
"Such a coincidence that I ended up with you Ikuto," Amu said smirking.
"DON'T SAY MY NAME LIKE THAT," Ikuto said fuming back. Amu chuckled while Ikuto stubbornly folded his arms.
"So there's this running relay that's coming up. To be precise a partner relay race. So I have taken the privilege of sorting it all out," Utau stated proudly ignoring the previous little argument between Amu and Ikuto. Kukai groaned.
"Oh the horror," he muttered while sighing. Utau pretended she didn't hear it.
"ALSO I have made some tips for the race. First of all if someone is in front of you, get in front of them. If you see no one in front or behind you keep it that way unless you are coming last of course, if you are coming last well...you suck," Utau stated, talking in a genius kind of tone. Amu coughed trying to hide her laughter and Rima laughed. Kukai sighed before doing a face palm. Kairi burst out in a fit of giggles while Yaya smiled the tiniest smile. Ikuto did a little chuckle while shaking his head while Nagihiko scoffed. Utau stared at them all confused.
"What?" she asked.
"Nothing," the whole group chorused back. Utau looked at them for a second then grinned and continued.
"Okay, since I have already done the tips, I shall explain the rules and who your partners are," Utau explained.
"But don't we get to choose our partners?" Ikuto asked.
"No, I'll decide. Okay anyway, the rules are that you each get paired up and you all have to run a few kilometres. But the thing is that you guys have to hold hands during the whole run. When the paired people come to the next, they have to tap both their hands and then that pair is off," Utau explained thoroughly. Everyone nodded. Sounded easy enough...didn't it?
Utau hummed in approval before continuing. She took out a little booklet and opened it up.
"Okay now I'll tell you your partners. Rima your with Nagihiko," Utau said. Rima nodded smiling and skipping to Nagihiko. He just stared at her disgusted.
"Yaya your with Kairi," Utau continued. Kairi nodded furiously and hopped next to her. Yaya took a good look at Kairi before going back to her book.
"I'm with Kukai," Utau grinned. Kukai made another groan before slowly walking over.
"And lastly, Amu and Ikuto," Utau said snapping her book shut.
~Ikuto's POV~
.fuck. No way am I going with her. I stared at Amu and she smirked while walking over. I stood there mortified.
"By a-any chance, can I s-switch," I stammered. Utau shook her head.
"Rules also clearly state that when there are partners, it has to be a boy and girl," She said. I screamed mentally in my head. Why? Why?
"Oh come on, cheer up. I mean the plus side is that you get to hold hands with me," Amu said playfully. I muttered things that didn't make sense and folded my arms.
"Whatever,"
"Oh I'm sure you're very excited on the inside," Amu said patting my back. I growled as she smirked.
"Well we'll win for sure since I am pretty much the fastest runner here, don't worry Kukai if you can't catch up, I'll just drag you," Utau said grinning widely. Kukai stared at her and coughed.
"I'm pretty sure I'm faster then you,"
Utau glared at him. Everyone stood in silence. This was going to get nasty.
"Are you...challenging me?" Utau asked slowly. Kukai smirked.
"What challenge? If I we were to see who was faster, there would be no challenge because I'd be way faster then you," Kukai said sneering. Utau narrowed her eyes.
"Okay lets make a bet, whoever goes faster then the other will have to pay that person ramen," Kukai said. Utau stood there her mouth watering just thinking about it.
"Deal,"
They glared at each other while the rest of the group sighed. Finally I coughed and the two idiotic people stared at him.
"What?" Utau asked.
"Umm...when exactly is the race?" I asked curiously.
"Oh...today!," Utau said excitedly. Everyone's eyes widened. Today? What the hell? They didn't even remind us earlier.
"How long have you known this," Kukai asked, his eyes narrowing.
"A few weeks," Utau shrugged oblivious to the atmosphere of the room. Amu glared at her.
"And you couldn't have told us this earlier?" Amu asked.
"Ehh? But I thought you guys knew. My bad," she said scratching her head nervously as she felt everyone's eyes glare daggers into her. Amu sighed shaking her head.
"Has everyone sorted out the groups yet? The race will be starting soon," The teacher asked.
"Yes!" the whole class chorused back. He smiled in approval and told the class to go to the place where we were supposed to go.
"Its r-right n-now?" I spluttered. I wasn't prepared. I haven't even overcome the fact that I have to go with...that monster.
"Yep, isn't it great?" Utau said excitedly her eyes fill with...well excitement. I sighed. This was a really retarded school.
"Come on man, it'll be fun," Kukai said, giving my back a pat before jogging up to Utau to discuss what he wanted in his ramen when he was going to win. I laughed to myself, for me it was pretty obvious that Kukai liked Utau and was crushing on her without her even knowing it.
"Make a pretty cute couple, don't you think?" Amu said now next to me which made me jump. Shit she scared the crap out of me.
"Who?"
She nodded towards Kukai and Utau.
"That's who you were staring at weren't you?"
I nodded. Then I stared at her? It actually sounded like she...cared. It made her sound ...nice.
"Since when did you ever care about anyone else other then yourself?" I asked curiously. Now I think about it, she was kind of freaking me out. I mean, who knew she could actually care.
"I may be a playgirl and all but I want what's best for my friends. I just want them to be happy," she whispered so quietly I nearly couldn't hear. Suddenly she shook her head like she was in daze.
~Amu's POV~
"I may be a playgirl and all but I want what's best for my friends. I just want them to be happy,"
Crap, I said that out loud. I shook my head. Damn, how could I let that slip? I stared coldly at Ikuto.
"You tell anyone about this, I will make your life a living nightmare," I muttered harshly.
"Why? You don't want your friends to know that you care for them," he said back with intense eyes. I stood there shocked. Usually people would nod and then they would secretly think they had a good connection with me. No one ever talked back to me except my friends which were different.
"I do," I whispered.
"But I bet they do know you care for them by the way you secretly do small things for them. I know you would go out of the way to do something for them," Ikuto said with a smile. I stared at him with my mouth open...how did he know? I quickly shut my mouth and regained my composure.
"I don't know what your talking about," I muttered. I have to get off the subject...how though? I know. I smirked and looked back at him.
"But thankyou so much for caring about me Ikuto," I said with a wink. He glared at me. I swear I saw a vein just pop out.
"what did you just say?" he yelled, a dark aura around him. I chuckled as I ran out of the classroom, hearing his footsteps close behind. He's different. He's not like the others. He actually cares and is considerate. I shook those thoughts out of my head. No freaking way am I going to have an affection for him. I had to get back to my objective. Make Ikuto fall in love with me...then break his heart. Because, of course after all.
..
~Yaya's POV~
I walked out into the destination of where the race was going to begin. I was about to sit on the bench...until I saw Kairi doing what I think to my calculations...were stretches. He was wearing a white head band to stop the sweat from going down his face. His cheeks were very red from his little warm-up session.
"May I ask what are you doing?" I asked peering curiously at Kairi, still keeping a safe distance for he was doing all sorts of jumps and jabs and...I don't even know what he is doing now. He stopped and gave me a cheery toothy smile. My heart did a little flutter. That's the thing. My heart does that around him. Is this a new disease? Because I tried searching it up and all the results came up with love which is preposterous. Absurd even. I mean, what exactly is love? ...I may never know the answer. I shook my head and focused on Kairi, still awaiting his answer.
"Oh I'm just warming up. Wanna join?" he asked. I shook my head. No way was I going near him with my heart fluttering like this. I can't even understand anything around me. All I see is him, everything else is a blur. I focused my attention back to him. He was pouting.
"Aww...come on, I know you want to," he said with a cheeky smile. I don't know what came over me but I laughed. I actually laughed. I haven't laughed in ages.
"Maybe next time," I said. He grinned and nodded.
~Kairi's POV~
Wow...Yaya sure has a very pretty laugh. Makes me tingle inside. Ahh I'm not focusing on my warm ups. 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2. Yeah that's right Kairi, feel the burn.
~Rima's POV~
I walked beside Nagihiko.
"So you prepared for the race?" I asked. He was typing something on his phone and it looked like he was ignoring me. I slowly started to walk away.
"Yeah," he muttered bored. I smiled. I was making progress. Then I stared at him. He didn't look very prepared. He wasn't wearing sporting clothes, he wasn't even wearing sneakers.
"Are you sure your ready?" I asked curiously.
"Yeah,"
"Why aren't you wearing your sporting clothes?"
He gave a little smirk and leaned closer. He motioned for me to do the same so I did.
"I'll tell you but you have to promise not to tell anyone else," he whispered. I nodded. He looked around to make sure no one was looking.
"I'm going to get one of my cars to come and get me to the destination," he said then went back to typing on his phone. I stared at him shocked...he was cheating?
"So your cheating," I muttered, my eyes narrowing. He shrugged.
"You could say that,"
I sighed and shook my head. Nagi glanced at me. I tried not to show my blush. Damn it Rima, calm down. He's just a guy! Then why...is my heart beating like this? That's when I realised something.
"You can't do that," I said. He glanced up at me.
"Do what?"
"You can't cheat,"
Nagihiko raised an eyebrow and snapped his phone shut while taking a step towards me.
"And why ever not?" he asked. I took a step towards him.
"Because its a partner race which means you have to stay by my side holding hands till we reach the next pair and no freaking way am I going to cheat," I said not backing down. Nagihiko stared at me shocked. Hmph...guess you didn't think of that did you? I thought.
"So...there isn't the slimmest chance you will come in the car with me," he muttered. I shook my head. He sighed and slowly turned around.
"...i'll go get changed," he said. I smiled. That was more like it.
"That's the spirit Nagihiko," I yelled after him smiling like a maniac. I saw him stop for a second then gave me the rude finger and continued walking. I laughed. This was fun.
~Kukai's POV~
"And make sure you add extra noodles in my ramen when I win," I said finishing what I wanted in my noodles. I glanced at Utau who just rolled her eyes.
"Did you remember all that?" I asked.
"Nup," she replied grinning. I growled.
"And why not?"
"Because your not going to win," she laughed, as if that was the most obvious thing in the world. I glared at her which made her laugh more.
She smiled and stuck out her hand.
"Good luck,"
I shook it...her hand felt so smooth. Snap out of it!
"Thanks...not that I'll need it of course," I muttered smirking. Utau frowned slightly but laughed a few seconds later. I joined. I really hope this is only a small crush.
Jennifer: sorry if its short
Ikuto: well it was pretty sho-
Amu: *whacks him with a baseball bat*
Jennifer: ==' anyway, hope you guys enjoyed it. Please read and review!
Ikuto: yeah what she said!
Amu: *hits him with a frying pan* didn't I tell you to shut up?
Jennifer: T_T oooh and by the way. Shally sucks (XD its okay, she's a friend of mine so thats why I'm being so mean to her) and i am also sorry if it is like Hard to Get. i really didn't intend it to be like that so i'm really sorry
