Valentines Day special (cheesy, yes, I know.)PT. 1
“…and because gorillas have such similar characteristics to humans, we, well scientists, believe that we evolved from these large primates…”
‘Humans evolved from primates’ uh huh…“Psst,! Rika…”
“ Some of the similar characteristics are how primates stand up almost completely and use their fingers to help them with daily routines…”
“Hey! Pst, Rika! Listen,” Miki tapped her friend with eagerness to get her attention, but Rika tried hard to concentrate on her notes. “Come on, I just need to ask yo-“
“
Lalala, not listening.SIMILAR CHARACTERistics,” talking a little louder to herself now, while trying to concentrate on the lesson “ARE HOW BOTH HUMANS AND primates stand erect…”
For one final push, Miki shoved her zombie like friend, who was trying to concentrate on passing the class, so hard that Rika hit her forehead on the table. Slowly lifting her head, like the zombie nerd she had become, hinted that she was fed up with Miki’s stupid antics.
“WHAT. THE. HELL, Miki?!” Rika stared back at Miki with rage, it looked as if her eye sockets could no longer keep her eyeballs in.
“Excuse me! Ishikawa,” Rika turned her head quickly to the front of the room. “that’s about all I’ve wanted to hear from a foul mouth, get over here.” Rika’s teacher pointed to the front desk especially reserved for misbehaving students. Students like Miki, who did similar acts to one she just committed.
“But, but! Tayama-sensei! It wasn’t my fault, Fujimoto made me hi-“
“I don’t care, it’s not appropriate for young ladies to be yelling in the middle of someone else’s talk. I have no time for your excuses, hurry up and take your seat in the front so I can get on with the lesson for the students who actually care about tomorrow’s chapter test.”
Rika couldn’t believe this! She has never sat at the front before. She felt so ashamed. Feeling that someone was watching her, she turned to Miki and glared at her. While the teacher was turned to the board, she mouthed out “You owe me, BIG time.”
Miki nodded her head at Rika and felt her forehead secrete sweat once her friend turned around. “Oops.” Never letting anything bother her for too long, Miki shrugged it off and just thought of buying her something nice later to make up.
“Sorry about that, I didn’t know you were paying attention, eh heh.”
“I was writing notes! How can I not pay attention?!” Rika was till upset about earlier. She took things seriously. Getting placed in the front of class, next to the teacher, was like a delinquent being sent to the principal’s office. She’s obviously never done anything daring in her life before.
“Hey, cool it, okay? I just wanted to know what you were doing tomorrow.”
“What the- you stopped me from learning, interrupted me and the class, and got me in trouble on your count- just to ask me what my schedule was?”
“Uhhh…. Yeah… It is Valentines tomorrow….” Watching Rika’s facial expression calm down and turn blank set an alarm off in Miki’s head. “Wait. PLEASE don’t tell me you forgot. What, have you been living under a rock for the past two weeks?!”
Continuing to walk at a slower pace now, Rika answered, “Well, would it be still believable if I lied?”
“Ugh! Whatever. Anyway, I was thinking of asking Yoshizawa out to be my Valentine. What do you think?”
“You mean the soccer player Yoshizawa? Why her?”
“Yeah, the rich one. You know, I figure, since we’re both rich, that we’d totally be perfect for each other. Plus, she’s hot.”
“Are you sure? I mean, I don’t know. She looks stuck up, she thinks she’s the star of the soccer team ever since Gotou-san quit to focus on Student Council presidency.”
“Yeah, well Yoshizawa-san is the star of the team, and she’s second Vice President.”
“That doesn’t make a difference Miki…” Rika, not surprised but dumbfounded, stared back at Miki while walking to the cafeteria.
“Yeah it does. It totally does. Makes her more popular, and that’s just what I need.”
“I don’t get it, why do you want someone popular? What if they never give you as much attention as they should because of their fans?”
“…yeah, I think I’m ready to tell Gotou-san how I really feel! Ack! I can’t wait for tomorrow, I’m so nervous, but I feel so excited!”
Miki watched as Takahashi Ai talk to her kohai, Niigaki as they passed by the two. “Really? I think Yoshizawa-san is a lot dreamier than Gotou-san. Don’t get me wrong, both are gorgeous, but Yoshizawa-san… Sigh~ I don’t know, she’s so… dreamy!”
Rika and Miki both watched in disgust at the Second year and the First year popped hearts in their eyes as they day dreamed and talked about their fellow Third year classmates.
“Attention everyone! Attention! We would now like to start this year’s Valentine Special. With last year’s mishap, we are no longer doing the Kissing Both. Seems like some of you youngins’ don’t know what a three second kiss was and got too carried away!”
Among the girls, you could hear the chatter, “Yeah, poor Shibata-san and Mika-san. They were attacked by Takahashi!”
“HEY! I heard that, dim wit!” Takahashi shot back at Kamei with glaring eyes. “It’s not my fault I had enough money and they just happened to open up a perfect oppurtinity!”
“Ahem! Ladies, calm yourselves, let me talk. Now, this year, our academy is holding an 'Senior Valentine : Please Take Me Out' auction for the two most voted Third years, Yoshizawa Hitomi and Gotou Maki –“
The room went wild. All the girls turned to each other and squealed their little pigtails off. It was like every girl’s dream come true. “Omigosh! Did you hear that?! Yoshizawa-san and Gotou-san!!”
“Ahem. Yes, exciting, I know. All the money that is accumulated will go to this year’s festival, now remember…”
Miki had all she could bare and turned to Rika, “Did you hear that Rika?! An auction! WOOOH! This is going to be a piece of cake! It’s gonna be sooooo much fun!” Miki shot her first in the air and pounced on her best friend.
Rika, obviously not caring, turned to the lunch lined and said, “Yeah, party, woo. But what if someone bids higher than you, dummy?”
“Like who?”
-To be continued-
Sorry for the lame dialogue. This is just what happens to a bored person ^_^;
Yeah, this is just gonna be a short story. Why am I doing this? Do I have anything better to be doing tonight? HA! I wish. This year is different *dammit all*. So yeah, I'm gonna be making a short special. Probably not lasting anymore than 5-10 chapters. The second one doesn't seem that long either *but counting on how this one wasn't supposed to be long... who knows?...-Owaranai_sLaVe
