Exams are coming. But before we take on the big boss, we take out the minions, in other words the projects and homeworks that the teachers will throw and dump at us. It was always like this whenever exams are nearing. Some teachers would rush us to finish our projects that is due before the exam or at the exact date of the exam and that would result us either cramming or not studying at all. Except for one person of course. She always seems so carefree like she has no care for the world.

Only one girl

Fate Harlaown

We are currently having our English class. I am listing the things that are included in our project: an intro and outro for our project, 3 poems that have different topics in each poem, 3 researched poems and 3 poets with their picture and biography. The poems should be in English. It is up to us how many stanzas and lines it will have. It is also up to us whether it is rhymed or not. This would be a bit hard for I have not yet mastered English that much. Just bits of Google translate and dictionary help will let me finish it early. Everyone is writing their notes down except for this one right beside me. She has her phone on her lap and is hiding it using her handkerchief; she has her handkerchief wrapped on her phone.

This girl is really carefree. She is so focused on her phone. I leaned a bit to the right to see what she is playing. She is holding her phone in landscape and seems to be playing a game with circles; obviously a rhythm game, like cytus. There were nine icons that is positioned in a semi circle and each icon there was a different girl. She was pressing the icon as the rhythm icons were coming out from the music note at the center. I really can't follow her thumbs. She is pressing the rhythm icons too fast. I don't know how she can play rhythm game without music though. Then she stopped playing with her phone and sighed. A full combo flashed at the screen. I guess she is done playing. I was still fixated on her phone because the game design is really cute and beautiful; it makes me want to play the game also.

"Nanoha." I looked at her and she wore a goofy grin. "Wanna try?"

"No. Put that away. We are in the middle of the class."

"Means nothing to me." she started playing again with her phone again.

The only thing that would make her shut up is games.

Next subject to give a project was Literature. The project was given as a group. We can pick whoever members we want but the maximum would be five and the minimum would be also five (wtf teacher?) It's obvious that Arisa, Suzuka, and I would group together, we always have but where will we find another two that will be decent to be with?

The Literature project was role play. We need to role play one Japanese story for about 15 minutes. All we now need are two more members.

The teacher continued discussing about our project.

Lunch break

Time flew by fast when the teachers were discussing about the projects and the pointers for review for the exams. My neighbor at the right has a lot of audience today. She is surrounded by different girls and boys, recruiting her for their member in their role play. Of course, the all around superstar, Fate Harlaown.

I stood up from my seat and went to Suzuka and Arisa to talk about them our last two remaining members. Suzuka told me she already recruited two members.

"That's fast and cool." Arisa complimented. "So, who are these two?" She asked.

"Hayate and Fate. Hayate agreed in joining our group."

"When did she have a chance to do that? We only started lunch break." I asked her.

"I texted her and she gladly accepted my request."

"Only Hayate and not Fate?" Arisa asked her.

"Hayate told me that Fate would tag along as long as Hayate us with us."

"Since Fate is o our side, I guess she needs some saving?" Arisa looked at Suzuka.

"She can handle herself just fine."

"I doubt that. Let's help her out." A newcomer voice said. I turned around me and saw Hayate there.

"Holy cow, when did you-"

"Not a cow because my breasts are not that big. Come on, let's help Fate out." Hayate said as she walked towards Fate seat that is being surrounded by many of our classmates. "Halt my classmates!" Everyone did stop when she said that. They turned around to face Hayate. "Everyone shan't disturb the mighty overlord of the skies!"

Fate stood up from her seat and laughed while posing a peace weird sign over her face. "A punishment shall be made for those who disturb my awakening." Hayate suddenly knelt down with her right hand over her heart and bowed down.

"What shall I do with these foolish humans?"

"Burn them alive! Torment them to death!" Fate said as she walked away from her seat and stood beside Hayate. Hayate stood up and smirked. Everyone's attention was on them and their expressions were filled with awe. I'm glad we have these two in our group, they are pretty good actors but they are grabbing too much attention; even the people from the other classes are watching this spectacle. Well, it is Fate and Hayate together, like Arthur and Lancelot together.

"We need to stop this." Arisa said. "They are getting too much attention now."

"Agreed, what should we do then?" Suzuka looked at me for some answers.

"Act with them and get the hell out of here." I walked towards the two of them and grabbed them by the elbow. "Come with me you two idiots."

"No! We are kidnapped by the witch and her minions!" Hayate shouted. I dragged them out of the room until we reach a nearby rest room. I let go of them and hit Hayate on the head.

"Witch? Really?"

"Should I have said White devil instead of that?" Hayate retorted.

"And is that what we would really call saving someone from being surrounded?" Arisa asked and looked at Hayate. "You only caused more commotion."

"I call it perfection." Hayate said

"Good save by Hayate. She knows what to do in the ugliest situation. So everyone in role play group is here. I call for Hamlet." Fate said.

"We need to role play something from the Japanese Literature." Arisa said.

"Then we translate Hamlet to Japanese."

"That does not work. We can talk about this later on. Literature project is due after exams, it can hold. We can message each other on what story we are going to play." Suzuka said.

"Any Japanese story, so does that include manga?" Hayate asked. Suzuka just sighed and went to the sink to wash her hands. "I guess that was a no." Hayate frowned.

I went beside Suzuka to also wash my hands obviously. Fate went beside me not to wash my hands (maybe) but to tease me. She kept on asking me why I dragged them to the bathroom when it could be somewhere else. "This was the closest place and I don't want to drag you all away where."

"Oh really? You don't have other reason?" She smirked at me while looking at me with those eyes ready to devour. I looked myself at the mirror and fixed my hair while trying to ignore her. "It happens here…" she whispered on my ear. "Things… I heard moans here last week."

"Pervert" I shouted at her.

"Says the one who was star gazing at our panties yesterday." I threw a shoe at her.

"Who was the one who flipped my skirt so high?"

"Well, I'll be taking this." She picked up something on the floor and showed it to me. It was my shoe that I threw at her. "Good luck on getting this back." And she ran away.

"You shoe thief!" Obviously, I ran after her.
