Chapter 5

Two words. Oh, no.

[On the sheet]

Part A - Individual Task

You are to write 8,000 words on Shakespeare's life and 5 pages on Shakespeare's 'Much Ado About Nothing'.

This writing part will be 30% of the whole major assignment. This will be due by the end of this month.

The whole assignment will sort students into classes for the next year.

Part B - Group Task

You and your partner are to create a musical piece that relates to one of Shakespeare's plays. You may choose out of the following:

- Romeo and Juliet

- Macbeth

- Antony and Cleopatra

- Hamlet

- Merchant of Venice

- Midsummer Night's Dream

This piece will be 70% of the whole major assignment. It will be due at the end of the year.

The whole assignment will sort students into classes for the next year.

[End sheet]

I groaned. A writing task and a music piece. With my partner, Hyuuga.

I looked at the last line again. 'The whole assignment will sort students into classes for the next year.'

English was an important subject for many people. I had to get good marks. Even if it didn't really fit in with my chef dream. It would be good on my resume.

The teacher explained the sheet, even though it was already extremely easy to understand, and then the bell rung.

Everyone got up and the teacher said, "You will start your individual task today and give it to me in three weeks time. You are dismissed."

The writing task would be no sweat, even if it was that long. Writing was never a hard thing for me to do.

"Hotaru!" I called, and jumped at her.

BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!

I rubbed my head, "what was that for?!"

"Don't touch me," was the cold reply.

I sighed, "so what do you think of the assignment?"

"Annoying." Great, her one worded replies.

The two of us made our way to where the two of us, Koko and Yuu sat.

The boys were already there by then, holding the assignment sheets in shock.

"Noooooooo!" Koko yelled. I would be doing that if I were him. Such drama-queens we are.

Yuu looked miserable.

"Iinchou! Cheer up! You don't have a bad partner. Feel happy already!"

"You say that I don't have a bad partner? Sensei called me back after class and told me that Anna and Nonoko were together, because it was easier for them. Nonoko lived too far away from Koizumi-san, who lived closer to me, so they swapped. Now I'm stuck with. Damn. Koizumi."

"Did you just say damn?" one of us asked.

"Mhm."

"You must be really pissed then. You never, ever, ever say damn, or crap, or shit, or fu-,"

"That's enough now, Koko," Yuu said angrily, covering Koko's mouth.

"Well, sorry." The reply was a bit muffled.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o

-3 weeks later-

"Ok class, hand in your essays on Shakespeare. Left pile is about his life, right pile is about 'Much Ado About Nothing'," the teacher said.

One by one, we handed our pages in. As I predicted, it wasn't too hard. No wonder it was such a small part of the major assignment.

"You have three terms to finish the second part of the assignment, including the holidays. You should start at the beginning of the holiday, which is tomorrow."

That's right. Holidays started tomorrow. Sad I had to spend it with the damn Hyuuga over there.

The rest of the class passed in a blur.

"You are dismissed."

No one was in the classroom by then, except for the teacher.

"HO-LI-DAYS! HERE WE COME!" People shouted, left and right.

"Hey polka-dots," a husky voice called.

"Polka-dots?"

Hyuuga glanced down. I immediately blushed a deep red.

"PERVERT!" I yelled, slapping him. He caught my hand.

"You go to my house every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. That should be enough time to finish this assignment."

"Don't I get a say in this?"

"No."

"That's mean."

"I don't care." He smirked.

"Where do you live?"

"Stalker. Anyway." He gave me a piece of paper with his address on it.

"What time do I go?"

"Around 11. We can try and finish it during these holidays, so we're free for the rest of the year. Agreed?"

"Agreed." The faster we get this over with, the faster i get to stay away.

"Good. Now get out of my sight."

I walked away. He can be nice. If he wanted to be. And in his own way.

This is going to be... fun.

Another chappie down! WOOT!

A lot of the following chapters will be situated at Natsume's home.

The school holiday system is based on the system over here. So it's eleven weeks, two weeks holiday. Ten-eleven weeks, two weeks holiday. You get the point.

So basically, Natsume and Mikan wish to finish the assignment in 10 days.

Ok, review please!

Peace.
