~This is the thoughts of others~

PK Academy Sports Day - Everyone...Well Almost Everyone Is Fired Up!

Lotus was happy, no she was excited, no she was, was, was, some other adjective for being totally psyched and pumped up.

Why was Lotus so hyped for today? Today was PK Academy's Sports day!

Lotus was practically jumping in her spot. Just like the rest of her classmates she was dressed in her gym uniform and was wearing a yellow headband.

Hairo stood in front of the class addressing his classmates "Okay you guys today is about one thing only….being number one!"

"Let's do it!"

Saiki did not share the same enthusiasm as his other classmates.

"I was all set to miss school today but…"

Saiki thought of his parents.

"~You can't miss sports day!~" His mother had said

"~Yeah I bought a camcorder just for the occasion!~" His father had said

"...They guilted me into coming."

Lotus looked over to see Saiki's parents not paying any attention to their son. Instead, Kuniharu was recording his wife who was smiling in front of a tree.

"Aw, crap the battery died!" Kuniharu exclaimed

"Go home!"

"We'll Saiki it could be worse."

"How could it?"

"Well, my sister for one…."

Lotus thought about her sister when she told her about sports day, and much to Violet's utter devastation she had an important lecture she had to attend.

Violet spent the whole day sulking in a corner wailing about how she was going to miss her little Lotus's special day.

"How is that worse?"

"My sister couldn't come but Ethan on the other hand." Lotus pointed over to the stands and Saiki blanched.

"Woooooo yeah! Go Lotus! Go Lotus!" Ethan was at the top of the stands shouting through a megaphone cone, waving around a pink pom-pom with his other hand. He was also dressed up wearing a Go Lotus T-shirt and a fight on headband. Ethan also had Sir Henry sitting on his head, the little ferret also had a mini fight on headband wrapped around his head. Lotus also knew Ethan had a camcorder ready to go for when Lotus started her events. Sitting next to him was Helios also cheering.

"I see….that is worse."

"Class 3 go!"

"Yeah!"

"Those 'Yeahs' are getting annoying."

Lotus gave an awkward chuckle feeling bad for her friend.

"Sports day is stupid," Kaidou spoke.

For some reason, he was wearing his headband like an eye patch.

"For the first time, Kaidou and I agree on something."

"You just saying that cause you suck at sports," Nendou said

"Shut up!" Kaidou yelled

"Wow, Nendou's headband seems completely at home."

"Your right it fits perfectly well in the grooves of his hair."

"Yo Saiki hey!" Hairo greeted

"Oh great."

"Are you pumped?" Hairo asked

"I'm the opposite of pumped."

"And Nendou you're a big guy. I expect big things out of you too." Hairo said

Nendou gave a thumbs up. "That's right you're not beating me this time."

"Were all on the same team."

"Kaidou my man eh….do whatever it is you can do." Hairo gave Kaidou a thumbs up. "I'm sure you're gonna try really hard."

"What's that supposed to mean?!" Kaidou shouted

"Lotus-"

"I'm gonna do my best!" Lotus cheered pumping a fist. She had a fire in her eyes and Saiki wasn't sure if those flames were real or not.

"That's what I like to hear! I'm counting on you girl!" Hairo laughed

"Right!" Lotus cheered

"Well….at least someones happy."

"There's our competition. They look pretty tough this year guys. First Class 1." Hairo sad

"Their symbols a circle."

"Everyone student in that class is an intellectual. Next Class 2." Hairo explained

"Their symbol is a plus."

"Everyone in this class is a major athlete," Hairo said, "Then there's Class 4."

"Their symbol is a square."

"More intellectuals, like Tanihara who aced his midterms," Hairo said

"We compete for our immortal glory," Tanihara had said

"They'd rather be reading."

"And Class 5," Hairo said

"They got the star."

"More intellectuals who all wear glasses," Hairo stated

"Is intellectual your word of the day?"

"First event. Boys 4-meter dash!" The PA announced

"Great and I have to run."

"Make them eat your dust, Ku!" Mrs. Saiki cheered

"I'm recording this son….to a tape called my heart," Mr. Saiki said, you know since he ran out of battery.

"You can do it, Saiki! When it for Class 3!" Hairo cheered getting the class pumped up.

"I feel really bad for Saiki. I love this kind of stuff but him…" Lotus saw the irritated look on Saiki's face. "Sports day really draws attention to people and that's something Saiki does not want."

The gun went off and the boys started running. Everyone seemed to be struggling to run their fastest all except Saiki that is. He was running with such ease you'd think he was out for a light jog.

Saiki was in second, but he fell back winning third place. That would seem like the most logical place for him to place without getting his classmates angry at him while at the same time not drawing too much attention, but that didn't work out as he had planned.

"Saiki holy crap dude you got third!" Hairo smiled

"Why is everyone so excited?"

"All the other racers are on the track and field team."

"Yeah, the fourth place guy had the school sprint record."

"Wish I knew about this before."

"Not bad buddy put I'm pretty sure I could smoke you one on one. Wait that guys running?" Nendou said

"Kaidou's next? And where's Lotus?"

Kaidou got in the starting position. "~I am the wind~" "I am Shun the Gale!"

Well, it turns out if the wind was running it would get fifth place, cause that's what Kaidou got. Nendou was off to the side laughing at his friends misfortunate running.

"Next up coed volleyball!"

"That's the event Lotus is in!" Hairo said

"She is?"

Saiki searches the field easily spotting the pink haired girl. She looked excited as ever as she stretched and warmed up. It was two on two matches, but Lotus's teammate seemed rather apprehensive. Her partner in the volleyball match was a boy named Kitaro. A rather timid boy who was often described as being cute. Which was understandable with his big doe eyes and short curly brown hair. He hated to admit it but when he was younger he was often confused for being a girl. The boy was a good head shorter than Lotus and was thin too. The best word to describe the boy would be delicate, as he shook nervously in his spot.

Lotus put a hand on Kitaro's shoulder making him flinch.

"Don't worry teammate I've got your back." Lotus gave the boy a wink and a thumbs up.

"But what if I mess up? I'm not strong, or fast, and I can't jump high either!"

"Didn't I say I got your back. Don't worry as long as we work hard and give it our all were winners no matter what the outcome is. So are you with me?" Lotus asked her teammate.

"Yeah...I mean yeah!" Kitaro cheered

"Let's do this and give it our all!" Lotus cheered

"YEAH!" Kitaro shouted

"YEAH!" Lotus roared cheering loudly.

"Yeah alright, Lotus that's my precious adorable little sister!" Ethan cheered

Several parents scooted away from Ethan as he stood cheering on the bleachers. Sir Henry clung to his head trying not to fall off, as the young adult moved about.

"Haza my little descendant!" Helios cheered

The volleyball event ended with Lotus and Kitaro coming out on top.

"Alright, Lotus great job!" Hairo said

Lotus and her teammate got compliments and congrats on their win. Lotus was a beast to be reckoned with when it came to sports. The winning point was scored when Lotus put Kitaro on her shoulders giving the short boy a boost, so he could spike the ball.

"Thanks, guys!" Lotus smiled

"You're scary competitive."

"Yes, yes I am."

"Kitaro you did a great job!" Lotus smiled

"T-Thank you Lotus. But I really couldn't have done it without you," Kitaro said

Lotus giggled, "But I couldn't have done it without you!"

Kitaro smiled looking down. "~Lotus I really admire you and your strength. One day I hope I can be as strong as you.~"

Lotus smiled at the timid boys' thoughts before putting her hands on his shoulders.

"Kitaro lets you and I become good friends."

Kitaro looked shocked but then smiled nodding his head.

"Alright we got first in volleyball, but we got fifth in track. We have to somehow turn things around in the next event!" Hairo said

Currently, their class was in third place.

"The next event is the co-ed three-leg race." The PA announced

"Oh? It's finally my turn," Nendou said

"No, it's not." A black haired boy walked up. "I'm the one participating in the next event."

"And who are you?"

Saiki, Lotus, and Nendou all looked rather confused by the new character.

"~My name is Sawakita. Well, my name doesn't matter. I'm only playing a supporting role~." Sawakita thought

"Now he's narrating."

"~My grades, appearance….everything about me is average. I was born average and I will die average. That's my life.~"

"Hey, Saiki he's got the life you strive for."

"~But a single rock-paper-scissors game brought sunshine into my life! I'll run a three-leg race with Teruhashi! Just the memory of this race will keep me going!~"

A sparkling Teruhashi stood next to Sawakita.

"Can this guy be more dramatic?"

"Maybe he should join the drama club."

"Let's do our best, Sawakita," Teruhashi said

"O-Okay!" Sawakita said

"~My grades, appearance, everything about me is average. I was born average and I will die average. That's my life. But a single rock-paper-scissors game brought sunshine into my life! I'll run a three-leg race with Teruhashi! Just the memory of this race will keep me going! I bet that's what he's thinking.~" Teruhashi thought

"She got that word for word. I don't know if that is amazing or scary."

"~Make it a memory, a memory of a lifetime! But don't be so focused on me that you can't run the race.~" Teruhashi thought

She grabbed Sawakita's hand. "Let's win no matter what!"

"O-Okay!" Sawakita stuttered

Teruhashi smiled but her thoughts we not as cheery. "~I may not look it, but I hate to lose.~"

"Hey, if we win, let's celebrate...alone okay?" Teruhashi said

Sawakita's face went blank at the words, the very idea of spending some alone time with Teruhashi was just too much for him.

"Hook, line, and sinker. There's no way that guy is going to let them lose now."

Everyone lined up getting at the starting line.

"On your mark get set go!" The referee shot the starting pistol.

Sawakita cheeks red, ran at full speed carrying Teruhashi.

"Hey, this is supposed to be a three-legged race!"

"Goal! Sawakita and Teruhashi won first place hands-down!"

"But does it really count if he carried her the whole way?"

"I'm so honored to witness your cherished memory," Saiki said sarcastically

"Class 3 will gain 300 points!"

"Alright! Let's keep it up and make a comeback!" Hairo said

In the background, Teruhashi left Sawakita high and dry promising "To get back" to him later about that celebration. Lotus and Saiki were pretty sure that boy was never getting that one-on-one celebration with Teruhashi.

"Scavenger hunt race, huh? Who's gonna do that?" Nendou asked

"You will."

Next thing you know Nendou's at the starting line.

"Oh yeah, it was me," Nendou said

"Go for it Nendou!" Hairo cheered

Off on the sideline, Kaidou put his hands in a pose like he was going to shoot out energy. "~Lose, lose, lose, lose…~"

"On your marks, set, go!"

"All right!" Nendou shouted as he took off running getting at the head of the pack.

"Nendou from Class 3 is fast!"

"He's the first to pick one up!"

"The ranking right now doesn't mean much, though."

"Yeah, it doesn't matter if he picks the card up first if he doesn't actually find it."

Instead of looking for the object written on his card Nendou stood there laughing gloating a bit.

"It also doesn't help if he just stands there."

Nendou finally looked down at his paper reading it. "Hm? Oh, this is so easy!"

"Oh, looks like he knows where he can get it!" Hairo said

Nendou booked it running over to his classmates.

"Hey, let me borrow that," Nendou said

"You mean this?" Hairo asked holding up his tennis racket.

"No not the racket." Nendou reached out and Lotus gasped as she saw him grab one of Saiki's hair ornaments. "Thanks." With a pop, he pulled the antenna right out of Saiki's head.

Saiki's eyes went wide and blank and the boy toppled to the ground.

"Saiki!"

Thankfully Lotus was right there to catch him. Saiki crumbled into Lotus's arm being nothing but dead weight in her arms.

"Saiki? Saiki? Saiki?!"

Lotus was internally freaking out as the limp Saiki stayed still in her arms. Everyone gathered around her and Saiki, equally as concerned about the pink haired boy.

"Saiki wake up!" Kaidou shouted

"Lotus what happened!?" Hairo said

"I don't know he just fell over!" Lotus shouted, she looked over at Nendou. "Why did you pull that thing out of his head?!"

"It was on the paper." Nendou showed the paper to Lotus, and she deadpanned seeing Saiki's exact head ornament drawn on the paper.

"Seriously!? Who in the world made this scavenger hunt?"

"Wake up Saiki!" Kaidou shouted

"Here set him over here," Hairo said

Lotus laid Saiki down and his face caused even more panic. Saiki's eyes were dead, and he was even drooling from the mouth.

"Saiki!" A distressed Kaidou cried

"Oh, my bad," Nendou said

"There's something wrong with his face," Kaidou said

Kitaro stood next to Lotus bending slightly to get a look at Saiki. "Is he going to be okay? He fell over when that thing came out of his head, right?"

It finally clicked and Lotus realized what Saiki needed. "Nendou give me that thing back!" She quickly swiped Saiki's antenna out of Nendou's hands and ran over to Saiki putting it back in.

After a few minutes, Saiki seemed to regain consciousness and sat up. Lotus let out a sigh seeing him no longer in that catatonic state.

"Are you okay?" Kaidou asked

"You fainted when Nendou pulled that thing out of your head so Lotus put it back," Hairo said

"He pulled out my antenna?"

"Wait that thing actually is an antenna?" Lotus thought

Saiki let out a sigh seeming a bit troubled. "Since the antenna was only out for a little bit the doomsday scenario didn't happen."

"Did you just say doomsday!?"

"I'll explain later."

"Wow I almost lost my buddy," Nendou whispered

"The real worry is Nendou is the one who did it. That makes him a danger. I'll have to eliminate him."

"The fact that you said that so calmly makes that statement even scarier."

Saiki stood up as the winner of the scavenger hunt race was announced.

Nendou simply laughed, "Nothing I could have done about that one guys. Even when your best buddy passes out there's more important things than sports day. We'll get the next one."

"He passed out because of you!" Someone shouted

Saiki clicked his tongue in annoyance.

As the next events were being announced Lotus walked over to Saiki.

"Saiki, are you sure your okay?"

"For the most part, I'm fine."

"You had me worried there. Never in my wildest imagination did I think you could be hurt or rendered unconscious. To me, you're the toughest strongest thing in the known universe."

Saiki blinked wondering if that was a compliment, if so he wouldn't mind taking it.

Lotus giggled in her head. "After that little scare, I think your gonna need a bodyguard."

"No, I won't."

"Too late! Lotus the defender is on the job!" Lotus semi-joked

Saiki just sighed. "Do what you want."

"I always do!" Lotus smiled "Besides what are friends for.

There it was again that strange feeling Saiki got that only Lotus gave him. He turned away avoiding the girls beaming smile as he faced the scoreboard.

His class had been dropped to fourth place with only 600 points to their name. Well at least they weren't in last, but not by much, the last place class was only behind them by 60 points. The leading class, Class 4, was leading the pack with 1000 points.

"That's the end of our morning events! Time for lunch!" The PA announced

"Well pals looks like it's time for food," Nendou said

"Hey, where'd Saiki go?" Kaidou questioned

"Girl buddy is gone too," Nendou said

"Saiki! Warrior Queen Lotus! Where are you!" Kaidou shouted

As the lunch break started for some odd reason, the rising star magician Chouno was there putting on a performance.
