[Drabble] RK: Kenshin--Pride
I was reading Kenshin v20 and right before I watched part of Disney Hercules. It was strange how many parallels there were between the two...

Pride: Love's Worst Enemy
Mediocre? What the hell did 'mediocre' mean? Bold pink letters spelled out the word on a piece of black paper. Kenshin could imagine the small black haired girl dragging a smooth ball point gel pen across the paper. The pressure in which the word had been written in had left small raised lines on the underside of the paper and Kenshin’s pale fingers slid over the imprints like a blind man’s reading.
What did the infernal girl have in her mind when she wrote that word? The boy’s hand turned over the small scrap of paper, looking for some other words or a clue as to what the girl was trying to tell him. The girl was a geek and Kenshin was little more then a loner who never did get what his Language teacher was trying to teach him. She should have known that, she was in his ####### class after all.
Violet eyes slid into a small sliver and his pale had lifted to scratch at his head. He had to find one of Karou’s friends and make them tell him what the word meant. It didn’t matter that his pride hurt by going to a group of snot nosed middle schoolers, but he had no choice. No one he knew would know the meaning of the word.
Kenshin’s white teeth ground together what a faint grating sound. Damn that girl. She had to make him feel like an ass once again. It didn’t help that he was small boned and his hair made him look like a girl when Kenshin was trying to be at least a little manly, and now Karou went and confused him with a word like Mediocre…
Was everyone trying to make him look like a girl…
With a growl, Kenshin made his way towards the mid-school grounds, vowing to kill any teacher who told him he looked like an eight grader when his ID clearly said eleventh.
