Chapter 5: Romance in the Classroom
NEXT DAY
"Okay, class, today we're going to do a writing project. Our topic is 'Romance in the Classroom'. What I want you to do is write a story about any two people in this class whom you think make a good couple. It can be anything, from reality to pure fiction, just have fun with it! Due on Monday, so you have the entire weekend. This period, I want you to have at least one paragraph done. I'll be checking your work." Ayumi-sensei announced, sitting down at the teacher's table and sipping her coffee.
"Hm…I think I shall write about something unusual…most people would choose Natsume and Mikan, but I want to choose something different…yeah…that should do…" Emi mumbled to herself, shooting a sharp glare at Koko, who was trying to read her mind. A chill ran over his skin, and something told him that it was Emi's doing; or perhaps it was her slight smirk as she glanced at him. He shuddered and immediately went back to his writing assignment.
"Okay, we have five minutes left. Pass up your papers please; they will be returned to you shortly." As the teacher shuffled through the papers, scanning them and storing their contents in her mind by using her Alice, Emi smiled evilly. The pair she'd written about weren't your normal couple, but it was true, even if they didn't know it. She'd been watching them for a long time now, and it was clear to her that they liked each other.
AFTER CLASSES
"Nee, Emi-chan, who'd you write about?" Mikan asked as she ran to catch up with Emi. "-cough- Uh, someone. I can't tell you." She said, smirking. "Who'd you write about?" Mikan looked away. "Secret. We have to tell the class which two we put together, and the best composition gets read out to the class. You'll find out on Monday." Emi gave a nod. "Fair enough. Taiki won't tell me either." She said, crossing her arms and pouting slightly.
Then her pout vanished, replaced with a small smile as she spotted Taiki. "Daniel, would you please tell me who you wrote about?" She asked sweetly, clinging onto his arm. He blushed, looking uncomfortable.
"Uh…uh…uh…" He stuttered. Emi looked up at him through her eyelashes. "Yes, Daniel? Please tell me?" He blushed even more and looked away. "Um…um…um…I…have to go. See you!" He said, disappearing in a cloud of dust. Emi pouted cutely. "Why does he always do that?" She walked after him with her pout still firmly in place. Several boys followed her, drooling over her 'adorable pout'.
Taiki let out a breath as he slammed the door of whatever room he was in behind him. Escaping his fangirls was hard, but escaping his fangirls and Emi? Beyond difficult. He opened his eyes and saw Tsubasa and Misaki standing back to back, both blushing madly. "Hey, Andou-sempai, Harada-sempai," He greeted. "What're you doing in here?" Tsubasa looked at him. "We're pretending to be a couple so that our fans will stop mobbing us. Nobody said anything about having to kiss her!" He exclaimed, pointing a finger at Misaki over his shoulder. "Yeah, well, nobody told me anything either." She replied, still not looking at him and blushing.
Taiki sweatdropped. "Um, I'll just go now. You guys totally need some privacy. Oh, and," He said as he stuck his head back into the closet. "They're coming soon, I can feel it. In five minutes, you're going to have to kiss. Good luck." He snickered and closed the door, running away.
---------------------------
"Emi!" He cried as he almost ran straight into her. "Daaaaaan! Tell me!" She pouted. Taiki sweatdropped and backed away. "Uh, yeah, I will, hold on. Andou-sempai and Harada-sempai are in the janitor's closet, and they have to kiss in three minutes! It's a long story, but could you help get them together? They're reluctant, so please help me?" Emi raised an eyebrow. "Sure. I love matchmaking." She grinned evilly. "Three minutes, eh?"
----------------------------
Tsubasa and Misaki were feeling rather uncomfortable.
After all, they were in the less-than-spacious janitor's closet.
All alone.
In the dark.
And about to kiss.
So obviously, they were freaking out.
But then, they heard the sounds of footsteps coming closer.
"Well, this is it," Tsubasa said nervously. "Yeah," Misaki replied. "It's now or never."
Then he wrapped his arms around her waist and slowly lowered his head. The people were coming nearer…
------------------------
"Oh, come on," Emi muttered impatiently. "At this rate, they'll be too late." She rolled her eyes and flicked her wrist.
------------------------
Tsubasa and Misaki both had their eyes closed. His head was still somewhat far away from Misaki. Then suddenly, just as the door began to open, Tsubasa, as if pushed forward by an invisible hand, kissed her softly. The door opened fully and everybody saw the cute couple kissing. Misaki pulled away, saying, "Hey, a little privacy would be nice!" Then she slammed the door in their faces.
As the people outside fainted in shock, the two blushed and pointedly avoided each other's gaze. "Uh…that was…what I mean to say is…" Tsubasa fumbled with his words. "Ah, screw it." Then he leaned down and kissed her again.
Emi pumped her fist up in the air triumphantly. "Yes!" She whispered. "Thank you, Imai-chan," She whispered into the Panda Earmuff's microphone. "You owe me 200 Rabbits." Emi's mouth curved up slightly. "Yes, of course, Imai-chan," She replied. "I wouldn't expect anything less from you."
Huh. That certainly wasn't what I expected to write. I was letting the story write itself. I didn't mean to add in TsubasaMisaki fluff, but I suppose that since I'm a fan of that pairing, I just sub-consciously wrote it out. Whoops.
