Chapter 37
Reliabilty
"So, you've done my homework right, Daisuke?" Hikari, was really unsure and not believing her ears when she heard Takeru said the words.
"Takeru?" Hikari blinked, and the blond could only grin at the girl's curiousity.
"Relax. It's only a small chit-chat, well… and some bet," Takeru winked, before turning his back again to its position before. He was dealing with Daisuke that Takeru for once would give his homework to Daisuke to be worked by that goggle-boy. Takeru sighed quietly, not having the idea of his agreement before.
Daisuke positioned his hands at his hip while smirking, a confident one.
"Of course I have!" the goggle boy exclaimed as he took out a book.
"Look at th-" he then had just realized that there's only one paper slipped inside the book. He took out that one paper and lifted the book up and started to shake it. For no luck, there's no doubt that only one paper was present.
"Daisuke?" Takeru raised his eyebrow when he saw Daisuke's paled face.
"I FORGOT TO BRING IT! I'LL BE BACK LATER!" he hastily dashed out, not letting Takeru to say even a word.
"Wa- wait! Ah…" Takeru groaned desperately.
"What's the matter Takeru?" Hikari peeked out from the door, to check if the teacher was on the way to their class or not.
"No… it's close to 7 AM. I wonder if he can go back and forth that quick…" he murmured, though he believed in his friend.
"I hope he will…" Hikari mumbled.
"Beside… I can copy his work with another paper…" Takeru then realized that his paper of question was carried by Daisuke. Daisuke's and Takeru's paper of question was different, so Takeru couldn't copy it. Without it, he couldn't give the assignment to the teacher.
"Well, just hope that he'll be there on time," with his last murmur, Takeru went in the class.
Daisuke was running all the way on the street, often almost bumped with another bystander. He rushed to his apartment, almost broke the door, and went in before starting to search for the paper. Even that meant he would mess up his room, he didn't care. For him, his promise was the number one place.
"Got it!" Daisuke exclaimed proudly as he grabbed two piece of papers. He gripped it tighter and ran back to the school. What he didn't expect, when he went out and release his grip from the knop, one of the papers fell down.
With about twenty minutes, he arrived at his class. Along with hurried footsteps, he rushed to the door and hardly opened it, surprising everyone inside the class.
Luckily, the teacher wasn't here yet. Daisuke quickly went to his place.
"Ha! See?" Daisuke handed him the paper, but it's only one.
Takeru, who was now concerned about his friends that was sweating like hell could only smile. Daisuke was good at sport, for his own luck. IF not, he wouldn't sure that he could run back and forth with such that haste and not faint on the way.
"Thanks Dai," the blond tried to hid the paper away, but Daisuke had just realized it.
"Wait. It's only one? WHAT?!" the goggle-boy screamed loudly as he scratched his messy hair nondelightfully.
"Relax Dai. This is the question's paper, so I guess I can work it by-
With a second, Daisuke grabbed the paper and now it was in his grip.
"You're not going to do it. I am who have the responsibilty to work it," Daisuke said sharply, and took out a pencil and a paper before going busy with the work.
Takeru groaned for Daisuke's unlimited stubborness, though he had to hide a smile. He had known well about him, so it's not a surprising one if he found him with such that state. He glanced to his right side, learning about Hikari's silent compliment.
Hikari was smiling at her friends. Sure, Daisuke was really a good leader. He carried a big responsibilty and he could bear with it. In this case, with no doubt Daisuke had always kept his promise.
People who always keep their promise, their reliabilty is no need to be asked for.
