Chapter Thirty – One: 'Mr.' & 'Mrs.' Saotome…-

"We'll start the chapter of the 'Roman Empire.' Everyone can turn to page twenty – five," Said Hyuuga, holding his own history textbook, while standing at the front of the classroom behind his desk.
Asami grabbed her notebook out of her shoulder bag, which was set on Ren desk. The flirt was probably skipping class once again. How he managed to pass his exams in the end without failing was a total mystery to Asami. She flipped to page twenty-five, pencil in hand, she wrote down the important facts from what Hyuuga was stating from the textbook, including the text written upon the whiteboard.
"…-essential part of their culture. For the Romans they…-"
~Bzzzttt!~
Hyuuga stopped speaking, the noise of the public announcement system signaled everyone to listen. Asami took a sip from her water bottle, hearing a familiar voice from the speaker embedded in the wall.
"Good morning students," There was a rustle of paper before Yuudai continued, "The results of the winners for this years 'Annual Saotome Academy Event' have been chosen…-"
Giggles. Squealing. Whispers. Total excitement. Tokiya sighed, continuing to read his textbook. Syo sweat dropped. Sheesh. A classroom wasn't supposed to be so noisy.
"…- the winners are none other than…-"

[Meanwhile over in the 'A class']
"…- Akai SIREN and Masato Hijirikawa!"
Bright smiles. Loud cheers. Masato politely thanked the other students for congratulating him for claiming the position as this years 'Mr. Saotome.' Even his band mates congratulated him, although there was a bit of teasing from Chi, Masumi, and Tomochika. Something about the 'Red String of Fate.'
"…- congrats to the winners, who will shine through a 'CRIMSON Kiss' CF. Filming will start on May 20th. That is all for now, until next time."

"A CRIMSON Kiss CF?" Asked Cecil, sitting at the same table with his classmates.
"There are different versions for the CF," Chi said, nudging Alexander's head away from her food tray. Hypnos had fallen asleep at the start of the lunch bell.
Masumi stirred his ice coffee, "All the old CF's were filmed in the United States," He smirked, "I do recall that all the CF's were directed by J.J Brooks. Every actor and actress who starred in a CRIMSON Kiss showed instant chemistry on –screen."
"I'm so happy that the candy will now be released in Japan!" Chi squealed in joy, waving her arms frantically, almost hitting Natsuki in the face.
Alexander yawned, rubbing his eyes before speaking, "Candy?...- I would like some."
Cue sweat drops from everyone around the table. Masato slightly chuckled. In a way Alexander reminded Masato of a lazy panda in a zoo.
Tomochika sighed, "Seriously Alexander we were talking about CRIMSON Kiss."
"Oh…- interesting," Yawned Alexander before going back to sleep.
"Nanami…- when the filming starts you should keep an eye on the two," Masumi smirked, "You never know when they might start misbehaving."
"M-misbehaving?" Haruka stuttered, already blushing.
Otoya dramatically gasped, "Sempai, could we talk about something else?!"
"Oh stop acting like a bunch of innocent five year olds," Chi flirtatiously winked, "We all know deep down that 'sex' is on our mind."
Oh. Boy. Masato choked on his tea only to have Masumi slap him on the back. Cue second round of sweat drops. Masato finally caught his breath. Why couldn't he drink his tea in peace?! Chi giggled. The blue haired pianist was such an easy target to tease.

Three. Two. One…-
~KNOCK. ~
"Come in," I said, closing the collaboration booklet before placing it back into my briefcase.
Jinguji entered the office with Asami right behind him. The two sat down on one of the sofas. Right away I spotted the bruise under Jinguji's right eye. Hmm… so the young pianist did take a stand against the flirtatious saxophonist. Perfectly. Fantastic. I smirked, relaxing back in the recliner.
"Looks like you took one step too far," I said, "But what had happened to you Mr. Jinguji is none of my concern."
"My, my. Such harsh words Dai-kun," He chuckled, "Right from the beginning you're already placing me under the hangman's noose."
"Don't be so stupid," I said, bringing out a small black box from the drawer of the principal's desk, setting it in front of the two, "I wouldn't choose such a pathetic technique to 'get rid' of you."
"Oh, stop it you two!" Asami snapped, crossing her arms. It was clear that she was annoyed. Her right eye twitched, probably from pain, "Let's not start another war!"
I sighed. Exhale. Inhale. Calm. Down. Asami's right. After all, I promised to keep a lid on my temper. No. I don't think so. Only a lesson should be taught to the one who crossed the line.
