Chapter 3 Things girlfriends do

Ring ring ring ring ring ring!

Boof!

Laying on the floor jumbled up in his bedsheets, Daisuke's failed attempt to disable the alarm clock on the bedside cabinet is clearly apparent. It's 7:30am and the first day of high school. Outside is still warm and the sun is beaming through the glass windows. Taking a mental note of the weather while peaking from outside the covers he gets up and goes get his clothes ready. But as he was beginning to get changed he remembered something...

"Uniform..." Daisuke frowned and groaned.

He had completely forgot that the school he applied for had a strict uniform policy which he wasn't please about. But, then he realised something that slapped a massive grin across his face.

"Hikari-chan, in a schoolgirl's uniform! But wait, that also means... she'll also see me in uniform..."

Daisuke hates wearing uniform, and the fact that the girl he least wants to look like an idiot to is going to see it in all its glory, makes it all so much worse. Sighing at the situation, he thought to himself 'well it can't be too bad, for all I know I'm in the same class as her! Hehe, and then Takeru will have no chance."

"What the hell are you doing?" Jun stood at Daisuke's door pointing as half dressed body. "And what on Earth are you thinking while doing that?" Jun added referring to the peculiar look on his face. Blushed red, massive grin and a trail of drawl making its way down from his lips to the floor.

"N-NOTHING!" Daisuke shouted and slammed the door.

Embarrassed and frustrated, Daisuke rushed into his uniform and upon leaving he grabbed his bag and some bread for breakfast.

In the High school grounds Hikari and Miyako are eagerly waiting to find out which classes they will be in for the year along with the rest of the early students.

"I'm guessing we are the only ones to think of arriving early to find out our classes. I'm surprised even Ken isn't here yet!" Miyako was one of the more eager students in the grounds to find out where they were being placed, afterall it'll determine who in the group will be sticking together or even separating completely!

"The student placement board will be revealed at the sport court in 10 minutes" an announcement sounded.

Many of the students begun to make their way towards the sports court whereas Hikari and Miyako still waited near the gate for the others to arrive, with Miyako growing increasingly impatient. The minutes began to pass and still no sign of the others arriving. It is 8:25am and only 5 minutes until the board is revealed and only 35 minutes until class starts. Hikari looked in the distance spotting Ken running towards the gate with Takeru following close behind.

Hikari called over waving her arms. "Hey guys over here!"

The two boys made their past the gate in their new uniforms, both perfectly ironed and as neat they can be, even after the running. Miyako blushes seeing Ken, her boyfriend, in the new outfit, she certainly didn't hide the fact she found him very attractive in it.

"Sorry we're late.." Takeru huffed and puffed.

"There was a car accident on the way here, and the police wanted eyewitness accounts so they wouldn't let anyone go." Ken added while giving Miyako an apologetic hug.

As the two boys began to catch their breath, many of the newly arriving students began heading over to the sport court as another announcement sounded.

"Phew we made it just in time to see the board, but where's Daisuke?" Ken looked around trying to spot any sign of him. "If he's too late then he'll have a hard time getting to where he needs to."

Takeru agreed with what Ken said, but added "I think we should make our way over to the board now before the crowd becomes too large, Hikari maybe you should text him."

Hikari looked to Takeru, knowing he was right, but felt guilty at the thought of heading over there without Daisuke, especially on their first day. But if they didn't make it over there soon the crowd would get too large and they wouldn't be able to see who is placed where until the last minute before class. Hikari nodded in agreement and took the phone out of her new pink satchel.

More students began to come through the gate when a prominent voice made it's way through.

"Waaaait guys!" the voice said.

The group look over the gate to see a student heading towards them. It was Daisuke. His uniform was a mess, bed hair swaying around, and as he came tumbling towards them, BONK!

His body lay spread across the concrete floor just a meter away from the others, arms out, clothes crumpled and bag open with the contents spilling out. Giggles from some of the other students were heard around the grounds. Not the best first impression he could make on his first day to the other students, and especially not to Hikari.

As he looked up he saw the beautiful face of Hikari's, with her long shining hair hanging down in front of her, she knelt down and giggled and offered her hand out to help.

"Oh Daisuke, a fashionable entrance as always." Hikari giggled

Not wanting to show that he was embarrassed, Daisuke quickly stood up and put his arms to his sides.

"Hahaha, did you like my little show then?" Daisuke said trying to act all proud and mighty.

Takeru sighed and Ken did a face palm, some of the other students are still giggling away at Daisuke's embarrassing entrance.

Just then an announcement sounded "Please may the first year students head to the sports court when ready to see the class arrangements."

Just as Daisuke began to head over to the courts a voice called "Wait Daisuke!"

It was Hikari "You can't go over there like that you're a mess. Stand there just a sec." She walked over and began to neaten up his clothes, folding the collar and neatening the tie. Next she pated his jacket down on him to straighten it out. Daisuke couldn't help but relish in what was happening right now 'This is the sort of things girlfriends do!' he thought. She was taking absolute care in what she was doing, making sure everything was perfect for him. Next she took out a brush from the satchel and had it work it way slowly through Daisuke's terrible bed hair.

Miyako lent into Ken "Aww how cute!" she whispered. However Takeru wasn't so enthusiastic, the girl he loved was grooming another man, but he hid the emotions welling up inside and looked away.

"Ah!" Daisuke winced from the brush running through his hair.

"I'm sorry, but it needs to be done, you can't go over like that, you need to look perfect." Hikari's kind, soft words made Daisuke blush. He was loving every second of this, and didn't want it to end. She proceeded to sort his bag out and positioned it perfectly on his side.

"There we go! All handsome now, like you should be." Hearing her compliment caused Daisuke's blush get even redder and prominent.

Ken let out a little chuckle.

"What are you laughing at?!" Daisuke shouted, only to make him laugh more.

"Come on guys lets hurry! Lets find out who will be together this year!" Hikari called to the others.

The group hurried over to the court to find a small crowd of people looking at the large board, they eagerly positioned themselves to find out whether they will be together this year.
