Paper Football!
(┛●0●)┛⌒ ◇ ┗( •̀O •́ ┗)
Class was beginning and everyone was goofing off instead of making up late work.
It was fourth period and the teacher made it become a study hall. And the teacher isn't in the room at the moment.
As usual Mano was reading a book.
"You think the teacher really pays attention?"
"He's pretty laid-back."
"How about we play a game? The person who gets caught by the teacher loses."
"Yeeeeessss! What should play?"
"Simple, the host of the game writes whatever he/she wants on a piece of paper. But the person who have the note right now have to write their name down and add the sticker near their name before passing it to the next person. And the process continues til that person who have the note at the moment gets caught."
"The teacher gonna have to read it aloud for everyone here to hear!"
"What the hell are you gonna write?"
"Oh don't worry about it! It gonna be a surprise for both students!"
The teacher return to the classroom and ended the study hall and review the math formula everyone was most familiar of.
Fourth period continue and the teacher was none other than a tall black-haired man.
Takaomi Saeki.
'Let's the game begin!' Everyone in the class except a certain redhead and a certain violet eye students thought with evil glints in the classes' eyes.
Some snickers were being spread through the room.
Mr. Saeki had a puzzled expression seeing his students giggling. Cautiously eyeing each student and just brush the weirdness off and began his lesson.
As many minutes passed by and already half of the classroom written their name down.
With the sticker next to the name of Sora Hikaru.
Also how they pass the note to play their game was they fold it into a paper football and flick it to whichever desk they want to aim at.
And the paper (football) just so happen to land on Mano's desk that was three desks away to the ravenette's left from Sora's.
He was writing some notes down and the note landed onto his notebook that mess up his handwriting a little.
He unfolded the paper out of the open to read the content.
TRY NOT TO GET CAUGHT! BUT THERE'S A WAY YOU WON'T EMBARRASS YOURSELF!
BUT IF YOU DO! THE NAME THAT HAVE THE STICKER NEXT TO IT HAVE TO DO THE FOLLOWING!
GIVE A COMPLIMENT TO THE PERSON YOU LIKE IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE CLASS! HAVE TO BE THREE COMPLIMENTS!
NOW PASS IT ON TO WHO EVER AFTER YOU WRITTEN YOUR NAME AND MOVE THE STICKER NEXT TO YOUR'S THAT IS ON THIS PAPER!
This confused the current holder greatly. he didn't notice Sora was trying to signal him to keep quiet about it.
He look at his redhead friend and pointed at the paper.
She caught on what he was asking without the needs of words. She look around the room to see one boy puffing his cheek in holding his laughter. She was suspicious about it and use hand motion to say it was just a game.
He shrug and folded the paper back to its original form.
But apparently the folding creases made enough loud noises for Mr. Saeki to hear it, even when Mano is currently sitting in the back row.
"What you got there Okuda-kun?" The teacher asked as he casually stroll up to said boy's desk.
EVERYONE snapped their toward the two ravenettes to witness a scene to become of.
'Crap...!'
Saeki snatched the paper and read the content.
A mischievous smile was shine through with dark vibes of danger.
He grab the mechanical pencil from the spectacled boy. Then flatten the paper out against the window and wrote something on the paper.
Mano somehow knew what his intentions were from the vibe, the smug look on his face, and how he look at him without seeing, more like, not needing to know what the older man was writing.
His voice said aloud 'Captain Obvious.'
"Look like OKUDA-KUN is the victor." He announce very blandly but behind those words were a teaser.
Giving the paper back to the owner/winner/victim along with his mechanical pencil.
Mano was irritated when he found his name.
The teacher's handwriting was horribly sloppy since he written his name quickly, and to put the cherry on top of that sundae.
The sticker was little over the 'M'.
Mano blood was boiling in embarrassment and in anger.
Karmen who was the closest to the boy seating chart wise and socially. She watch the whole scene along with everyone and a thin line form across her lips.
If only she paid attention to the content on the paper.
Mano stands up from his chair and kept his head down. All you can read on his face was he was blushing mess and a nervous wreck.
"I really like you." He began his compliments.
"I like how you're really strong, beating up all of the other delinquents in our school. Whether they for good reason or ridiculous ones." It was no brainer who he was force to talk about.
The redhead eyes widen in somewhat horror. She tear her gaze away from the speaker and stare down at her own desk.
"People thinks you're horrible and uneasy to have around with, but I honestly thought that too, but that was because I've never notice you and the rumors and until I got to know you better... And then notice the rumors too afterwards."
'Oh my god...' Karmen thought anxiously.
You're not a bad person at all and you're someone that's worth having in their life. So thanks for being my friend and I hope we can continue with what we have."
He stayed quiet and sat down.
Many eyes widen and a whistle was heard from Mr. Saeki.
"Alright everyone!" Thankfully interrupting the awkward tension in the class for the sake of Mano's and Karmen's. "Let's continue the lesson."
Mano's slam his head against his table and stay there for the rest of the lesson.
Karmen rested her head on her sleeves.
Mr. Saeki decided to have the rest of class time be free time.
Everyone was in their own little groups leaving the two students alone.
Mano still had his head down but this time his arm were his pillows for his chin.
He turn his head toward the redhead who was shaking at the moment.
This worried him that he got up and slowly approach the girl.
"Hey, are you okay?" He asked with caution.
She responded by slowly turning her head to meet the boy's violet eyes.
When two pair of different eye colors clash.
One began chuckling.
"What is it?" She asked through narrow eyes.
"You're blush matches you hair...!" Mano answer which soon became a snicker out of his throat.
She straighten her back quickly from her curl position and look up to the ravenette.
"What are you talking about?!" She's definitely losing her cool with the immense blush still on her face for display. "Look at your face..!"
Both of their blushes were huge and matched the girl's natural hair color, if not, both shades became darker as they were arguing about who was more embarrass.
"Thank to Mr. Saeki, I have to speak in front of the whole class!"
"It more embarrassing when the speaker was talking about someone!" She shouted as she rocketed out of her seat and try to push Mano away.
She couldn't due to the embarrassment weighing her down like a ton.
"Alright I'm sorry for embarrassing you..." He smiles sheepishly. "But I'm not planning to take those words back."
"You...!"
HEEEEEEYYYYY! Finally an update on my part!
So sorry about that! I was having writer blocks...some what. I had some other chapters worked on and almost done, but I was planning them to add them later into the collection.
I felt like this chapter was a little rush and a bit of going everywhere.
ALTERNATE ENDING!
When the older male written down someone's name. He gave back the pencil to Mano.
"Karmen seem to be the winner!" He announce in monotone excitement.
This surprised both students.
"And it looks like you admire me 'cause I'm your favorite teacher!"
Majority of the class began laughing at the scene which is gonna become of.
Giving the paper to the winner.
She was beyond piss about this. She read everything that was written on the paper from the directions to the order of speaking three compliments to the person you 'like.'
Mano could only facepalm.
"Alright." She began her compliments.
"I'm surprise you still work here despite skipping your job and passing your work onto your students."
The whole class shouted; "OOOOOOOOOooooooooh!"
This irked the older male.
"How you're the youngest teacher yet, you're doing a crappy job of a teacher. How long have you work here? You must be new this year!"
one after another tick marks were visibly notice.
"Since I know how long you've been working and you're still here, that tells me you're not a newbie at teaching, but you still suck. So points for effort though!"
"See ya after class." Mr. Saeki said in a demonic voice as he left the room to get some referral paper for her.
'Why am I not even surprise.' Mano sigh but smile at the girl who won.
