Ermac POV
It's October and we have to do midterms next week. We are not ready and not studying for it. We were late for class and it was pretty empty and quiet. Too empty and quiet. When all of a sudden we heard an irritating voice shouting our name.
"Hi Ermac!" Kira shouted.
We groaned in aggravation. She is wearing something different. Looks like her alternative wear with her hair down instead of pigtails.
"What are doing?" she asked.
"Just going to class." we replied.
"Me too." Kira squealed in excitement.
"What's got you all motivated?" we asked.
"Kenshi and I are going on our first date today." she said.
"Ha. I got to my camera because it will get so ugly." we thought.
Just then, Kira dropped her stuff and froze for a moment.
"Kira?" we said.
She did not respond. We are wondering if she heard us say what we said. We started to panic and took a step back. Kira turned around and glared at us maliciously. She rammed into us, grabbed our arms, and pinned us against the lockers, which made a loud noise, echoing in the hallway.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" she snarled.
"Wait, we said that out loud?" we asked her.
"Yeah you idiot." she yelled, head butting our nose and mouth.
We didn't think this conversation would go this far. We did not the let pain stop us and we tried to keep our cool.
"You don't think we should be together? Huh?" Kira roared.
"We do know that Kenshi isn't gay." we defended.
Kira's knee hit our "junk". We groaned in pain, and tried to get out of her grip, looking at her green eyes weakly.
"I'm sorry, I didn't catch that." she exaggerated.
"We mean you guys are great for each other." we said weakly.
Kira relaxed her grip on our arms and gingerly slid her hands to our shoulder.
"I'm glad we had this talk, Ermac." Kira said, the kissed us.
She picked up her things and headed to class.
"Hey!" we shouted.
"Huh?"
"Why did you kiss us?"
"It's a friendly gesture."
"Yeah but… you kiss our lips and you slid your tongue on ours."
"You're so cute when you're confused."
"Oh god. Help."
Kira chuckled went her way to class. We do not know what is worse, making Kira angry, being kissed from her, or midterms.
Mr. Chi's class…
Third Person POV
"Ok class, all day today we're going to be studying for midterms coming up. So hop to it, find partners and study." Mr. Chi commanded.
Everyone got up and found their partners. At least the bad thing was that he said that they did not have be assigned partners. Ermac, Scorpion, Mileena, and Skarlet met up in one of the back corners of the classroom the study their final. They decided to play a game, boy vs girls, for answering questions. The girls won most of the rounds.
"Dammit!" Ermac exclaimed.
"Dude the square root of 1 is 1." Scorpion complained.
"Yeah but wouldn't be pointless to go another step?" Ermac questioned.
"No it would make perfect sense." Skarlet pointed out.
"There is still an exponent on that step." Mileena explained.
"Yeah well, you guys are 'smarticle'." Scorpion said.
"This is hopeless." Ermac complained, resting his head on his hand.
"You're so cute when you're confused." Skarlet kissed his cheek.
"She's the second one who said that to us today." Ermac said to himself.
"Hmm?"
"Nothing." Ermac said hastily.
There was an awkward silence in the group after that until Mileena spoke up.
"So, another round?" Mileena asked.
"Promise you won't cheat." Scorpion said.
The girls giggled at him and Ermac still looked dull.
"I promise." Mileena replied.
"Hmm." Ermac doubted.
Ermac and Skarlet walked home alone after school. Ermac thought that the guys were with their girlfriends. He also remembered Kenshi and Kira's first date. That made him smile slightly under his mask. It then turned into a frown, remembering what happened with his talk with Kira.
Skarlet POV
I was walking along with Ermac on a windy day on October. I was a little cold but it was refreshing, despite the fact that his arm his wrapped around me with his hand on my waist. He slightly pulled me closer to him, thinking that he thought I was cold. The walk was silent and I wanted to say something but I did not know if Ermac wanted talk. I exhaled loudly; maybe he will ask me what was wrong.
"Hmm?" Ermac noticed.
"What?" I said.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Nothing."
"You seem really quiet."
"I'm fine."
"Heh whatever." Ermac said caressing my waist.
"I'm serious." I half snickered.
Ermac gave me a look.
"Okay fine, I just wanted to talk." I told him.
"You could have just said something then." Ermac said smiling.
"Well I didn't know to say." I said smiling.
"Well in all seriousness, you talk to us whenever you want to. We will be here you for at all times. You can tell us what's on your mind anytime okay." Ermac said.
"Okay." I kissed him.
I finally realized what I wanted to tell him.
"Oh did you hear." I gasped.
"What?"
"There's big a fight happening tomorrow after school."
"Who's fighting?"
"Kira and Jax."
Ermac suddenly stopped walking, looking surprisingly at me.
"What?" I said.
"Really?!" he wondered.
"Yeah."
"Oh my god! That's a fight worth watching."
We smiled at each other, continued walking, and I rested my head near his shoulder, loving the warmth from him.
