Chapter 10: Hooray for Undokai!

Undokai literally means sports day. All Japanese schools do this every year on a certain Saturday and it takes up the whole day. The whole school is divided into the red team or white team and students distinguish their team mates by wearing the double sided cap (one side is red and if you flip it, it's white.) Teachers keep score of the two teams and at the end of the team, a winner is chosen.

"Attention please class," my homeroom class teacher announced, "As you may know, this Saturday is our annual undokai."

"There will be 5 events that we will be participating in this year: flag catching, tug-o-war, 100 meter dash relay, ball separation and tail extracting. Also each grade has to perform a unique dance." She continued while she happily watched the excited expressions of her students, "Oh, one last thing, we're red this year."

In order for Undokai to go smoothly so that it may be entertaining to our parents and to increase our chance of winning, our PE time was spent to practice for it.

"For flag catching, a girl and a boy must pair up, the boy must piggy back the girl to catch a flag that will be stuck on the tree and come back before the opposing team. Understand?" my teacher barked, "Oh, just to avoid any trouble, I'll place all the girls' name in this box and the boys will pick out his partner from here."

Instantly, voices of boys were heard such as "Oh, please don't let me pick out Sugita, she looks heavy…" (poor thing :() or "Hey I want to partner up with her…" such whiners.

"OK. All of you got a paper? Boys stand next to your partner."

The person that approached me was the smiling brunette. "Hi Aizawa-san, seems like I was lucky today." He said pleasantly.

"I hope I'm not too heavy for you Fuji-Kun," I smiled back.

We looked around at the different pairings and Kikumaru ended up with the scrawny red headed girl with freckles, Oishi ended up with a pure white skinned, black haired girl that always braids her hair, Tezuka paired with one of the girls of his fan club and Kawamura's partner was Sugita Miho. I'm sure Kawamura-Kun will be able to piggy back her just fine even if she's a bit heavy…and Inui paired with a very pretty girl that had barbecue sauce colored hair with large eyes. She always ties her hair in half. I could see Inui was happy with his partner by the way he blushed and looked away each time her head turned.

My teacher divided our class into two teams as practice and we lined up to get ready.

"Get set! Ready! Go!" and off went the first pair. Our team was ahead of the other team by just a bit. "Go Tsutomu-Kun!" I cheered with the rest of my team mates. Since I was third in line, my turn came pretty fast. As I saw the pair in front of me head back to the line, Fuji urged me to hop on. Nervously, I hopped onto his small back. Skinny but strong, Fuji carried me up easily and actually ran toward the tree. While he was running toward the tree, I looked over to see the pair we were going against and it turned out to be none other than the robotic Tezuka.

"Yikes!" I cried out, knowing Tezuka's ability, he might beat us. "Go Fuji-Kun! We can't lose to Tezuka-Kun!"

"Ok. Hang on tight!" With that Fuji ran so fast he had hard time stopping at the tree.

I yanked the flag out of the tree as hard as I can and proceeded to going back to the line. Unfortunately, the Tezuka pair came back to the line at the same time as us.

"Good Job Fuji-Kun! Are you ok?" I patted him on the shoulder for his hard work.

We rested on the side and watched the rest on the line to finish. While I was watching, I caught Tezuka's partner chatting with her friends.

"Tezuka-Kun's back was so strong and firm and I got to hold on to his neck tightly." She said while her expression seemed like she was in another world.

Girls these days…I thought, Are sexual hormones developing already? While I watched in amusement, I faintly felt a sharp feeling in my heart. Am I jealous?

I quickly shook my head to proceed with the next event: ball separation.

Basically, the teachers throw out countless red and white balls and each team must fetch the ball of their color and throw it into the basket. The problem was here, I couldn't throw it into the basket. The basket was similar to the basketball hoops except it was a straw basket suspended in the air, not a plastic ring with a net attached. I kept missing the basket and I was about to lose my patience. I heard a small laugh behind me as I tried for the fifth time to throw the ball in.

"Aizawa-san you're so cute," the tensai said "You try to throw it in with so much persistence I couldn't help laughing."

"I hate this…" I groaned, my eyebrows raised in annoyance.

"Here, I'll help you. Bend your arm a little more." He took hold of my arm and urged me to bend it a bit more. However, that was unsuccessful also as I threw the ball and the ball hit the rim, coming back to smack Fuji right on the face.

"Uh-Oh, Fuji-Kun are you ok?" I quickly turned around, half amused and half sympathizing him, "That's what you get for laughing at me."

The tensai laughed along with me and I decided to just hand him the balls while he aimed it into the basket.

Mean while…

Tezuka was calmly picking up the balls from the ground.

"Ne ne look! Tezuka-Kun is picking up the balls with such effort. So hot looking!" a small cluster of girls chimed.

Tezuka sighed, when is PE over? As he made a perfect throw of 5 balls into the basket, he caught sight of Mina and Fuji. He watched as Fuji laughed at Mina and helped her aim better. I wasn't able to make her smile like that. When she's with me, her smile is just polite, it's not as though she's enjoying herself, Tezuka analyzed in annoyance. When is PE over?

"I switched the schedule for today. Since we don't have much to do in Art, I decided to practice our class dance. Besides, dancing is considered visual performing arts. Ms. Tanaka and I have talked over this and we decided best for Freshmen Class to dance American Square dance."

More Joy…Today was just not Tezuka's day. One thing he hated was being partnered up; the second thing was Tezuka does not dance. As he silently glared at the teacher, who was oblivious to the electric aura, she motioned for the class to get up and stand against the wall. She began to place the students in height order.

Whew not too short and not too tall…I breathed a sigh of relief as I was placed in the middle. Across from me was Fuji and behind him was Kikumaru.

"Yahoi!" Kikumaru greeted, noticing that I was nearby. "Does this mean we might become partners?"

"I hope so," I said longingly. I was more comfortable around the tennis boys than other boys in our school.

My teacher mingled the line of girls and boys, forming a alternating boy-girl-boy-girl pattern and formed a circle with the line.

"Girls, the four boys to your left will be your partners."

Four partners? My mind automatically stated, wow Americans sure are flirty…

I glanced toward my left and my four partners were: Fuji, Kikumaru, Ishida and Saitou.

The tallest boys in the class were Tezuka and Inui. Inui was practically about half a head taller than any other boys.

"So boys and girls this dance is very simple. Just listen to the song which is practically the direction to the dance."

The song was:

Let's all join hands and circle the ring

Stop where you are give your partner a swing

Then swing that girl behind you

Then you swing your own with a little admiration

Elm and Left with a corner girl

You dosee do your own

Now you all promenade with a sweet heart and sing

Sing it oh Johnny Oh Johnny oh…

And this was repeated four times.

Tezuka was not enjoying this one bit. I do not dance…He practically fired his feelings through his eyes. Occasionally he would steal glances at what Mina was doing and every time, he would catch her laughing with Fuji or Kikumaru. Somehow, he longed to be by her side, absorbing her voice instead of standing here being stared and whispered at by his fan club. How do celebrities put up with this? Whenever he had to promenade with his partner, his partner was nearly drooling on his hands. Why couldn't I be a bit shorter? was all he could think of.

I was on the other hand, not enjoying this as much as I look like. Fuji and Kikumaru were safe to dance with but Saitou is just perverted. He always had this grin on his face whenever I was his partner and when we promenade, he placed his left hand on my waist, not that it was necessary. Out of annoyance, I crushed his toe purposely.

"Ouch!" Saitou yelped, "Oops Saitou-Kun I'm so sorry. Whenever you extend your left hand, I'm forced to spin around. Hard not to step on you since you have long legs." I apologized guiltily. This should take care of one pervert…Only if I had Inui or Tezuka as partners, I don't have to worry about being harassed.

I was going to write about Saturday but I need more inspiration sorry it was short chapter but review please so I can have some ideas for the next chapter!
