Chapter 4

The day of the school fair came.

"And now, it's time for the class 3-D's dance presentation! Let's give them a round of applause!", the vice-principal said.

I wished them good luck as they went onstage.

They began presenting. I observed each one of them.

"Kuma, he is so funny."

"Minami, even though he always says he's not a good dancer, he is!"

"Noda, he has potential."

"Uchiyama, he's cool."

Then I set my eyes on Sawada. I couldn't help but giggle. He's smart, but I don't think he could be a good dancer. He kept making mistakes during their performance. But instead of being annoyed, I found him cute.

Their performance ended. They all gathered around me.

"What do you think of our performance, Yankumi?", Kuma asked me.

"Oh. 'Twas great.", I answered them half lying.

It was great because even though they kept on ranting during our practices, it turned out nice. Uh, not that nice actually but still, they did a good job. And they were my students! I should compliment them. Half-lying because most of them still made a lot of mistakes after practicing for a month!

Sawada approached me.

"What do you think?"

"Oh, Sawada. What a jerk! Know what? Instead of being annoyed by you making a lot of mistakes, I actually find you cute!", I teased him.

"Cute.", he muttered. "What a lie."

I heard what he said but didn't say anything. I just smiled.

"Hey Shin, c'mon! Let's change clothes! We're all sweaty.", Noda interrupted.

"Yah, sure. C'mon.", he said.

"Oi, Yankumi! See ya around!", they told me.

"Ok. See ya around too. Nice job, once again.", I replied.

All of them went to the locker room.

"Ei Shin. It seems like you and Yankumi are getting closer and closer everyday.", Uchi teased him.

"Is there something going on between you?", Minami added with a devilish grin.

"Stop pestering me you idiots.", he responded.

"What do you think of her?", Kuma, also with a devilish grin continued provoking him.

"I find her stupid."

"Stupid? Are ye sure with that?", Noda asked.

Shin stood up.

"Where are you going?", Minami asked him.

"I'm going somewhere else. Away from the four of you.", he said. He looked so pissed.

"Shin! Know what? You and Yankumi will make a very good pair!", Noda shouted and then they all laughed so hard.

After Shin had gone, one of the student in class 3-B approached them.

"Hey."

"What do you need from us?", Uchi asked him.

"We have this marriage booth thing. Do you have some suggestions on whom should get 'married'?

"Marriage booth? You idiot. We're all boys here and you're expecting two people to get 'married'? Get off!", Minami told the guy.

"Hey wait!", Kuma said. "I have a very good idea."

A mischievous smile drew from his face.
