Oh no! Discovered before they had even started, can Mitsuhiko Diei and Chinen Yuri successfully get through the day hiding their relationship - that they're step-siblings and not an ex-couple?
++++++
Akanishi Himeko couldn't believe it herself. Who in the world could transfer into another school two days before the semestral break?
"Chinen Yuri-kun?" she asked uncertainly at the boy Diei Mitsuhiko had brought in her office, her new 2-A student.
"Hai, Sensei?" the cute boy who seemed to be radiating some kind of sunshine warmth smiled at her. It melted her heart right away - she always wanted a son. It's a pity she wouldn't get to know him through the summer but oh well; there'd still be the six months next semester.
"Okay Chinen-kun, my name is Akanishi Himeko, but you can call me Himeko-sensei. From today onwards I'll be your homeroom teacher as long as you're in 2-A so, try not to forget my name even after the summer break okay?" She winked at him as Chinen easily laughed. The kid is charming, he'll give him that. She smiled to herself as she reached their classroom door, anticipating what her students would be like in the next few minutes.
"You know the drill Chinen-kun; you wait outside here and come in when I tell you, good luck!"
To the class' surprise Himeko-sensei said before they start their lessons that 2-A will be having a new student and will be introduced to them first, which was very rare for them, even with the unusual time of transferring.
"Ne, that guy must be really smart eh?" Aya whispered to her seatmate Yann.
Yann nodded in agreement, their section was composed of only the best students in their batch, and getting in there as a transferee was pretty hard; you must get ninety-five percent in the entrance exam or higher.
Then Himeko let the new student in to Yamada and Aya's shock, because it was the same guy they bumped into this morning.
“Ohayou minna, hajimemashite, Chinen Yuri desu,” Chinen introduced himself to their classmates projecting his best smile. “Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!”
"KYAAA~~!!” Half the girls in the room squealed, the other half probably stunned into blushing speechless.
“Oh my gosh Aya, he is SO PERFECT!" Yann whispered. "Aya, I think I'm in love, I fell in love at first sight!"
"I know I know, but someone doesn't like him," Aya whispered back with a smile on her face while poking Yamada on the side of his head who's sitting in front of her, "he thinks he's better, but we'll see."
"Does anyone of you have a question for Chinen-kun?" their sensei asked.
"WATASHI!!!" Yamamoto Zola raised her hand, "Do you already have a girlfriend?"
"Eeto.. I don't think so, no, not yet," Chinen answered making the girls squeal again.
Then Aya raised her hand, "What was the grade you got in your entrance exams? You see, in this section, numbers really matter."
"Eeto.. uhmm..." Chinen was really shy to answer the question, he doesn't really want anyone to know his score but being in a situation like this gave him no choice, "I don't know if you guys will believe me but I got a hundred."
"WHAT!?" everyone in the classroom was shocked including Himeko.
Slowly Yamada stood up and looked at Chinen, "I challenge you, then."
"Huh?" Chinen was confused.
"I'm the only one who got a hundred in the entrance exam in this school but now you're here, that makes two of us. I wanna prove to everyone that no one, NO ONE is born to beat Yamada Ryosuke," Yamada gave his deadly smirk making almost every girl in the class faint.
"D-demo..."
"You don't have any right to disapprove, because when I, Yamada Ryosuke said it, it's already been decided."
After a few minutes of awkward silence Himeko took pity on the new kid.
"Okaaay it seems like there will be no more questions for you for now Chinen-kun, so you can go sit beside Yamada-kun, I'm sure you already know who he is," Himeko sighed but smiled at him. If she'd be totally honest she was rather welcoming the competition, nothing is better for Yamada Ryosuke. But of course, she wouldn't go down Yamada's childish lane, that's why she made sure to sit them together; if it's a friendly competition, everyone would be happy.
Unfortunately, since the two smartest people in the class would be sitting beside each other, the atmosphere became so heavy and thick that you could almost cut through it with a butter knife. Before Chinen could sit down the chair beside Yamada who was still standing smugly however -
"Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!" the school announcement’s buzzing ripped inside the room.
"Attention all Student Council members, including Clubs, Year Representatives and Section Presidents and Vice-Presidents, this is your Student Council P.R.O. Hikaru desu. Please proceed to the Student Council Conference Room now. It is also the Pre-Sem Break Meeting so yeeeeess, it's a double meeting," Yaotome's voice broke off from his professional-announcement mockery to give way to the groans of the students, which was to be expected except from Yamada, who was curiously looking like his birthday had come early, "So get up here already you lazy bums, really, I don't get what's so cool about all this trend of needing to be shepherd from class, aren't you babies all out of diapers by now?"
"Alright, stop your teasing already this early in the morning, move out of the speaker," Jeyn who was the usual school announcement girl was heard faintly chortling in the background. Most people laughed out more at that and even some in Yamada’s class briefly glanced towards the THS Prince like they were enjoying a private joke with Yaotome.
Aya snickered at Chinen as she mistook his sudden interest with the announcement as a bewildered reaction and leaned in conspiratory at him, "THS officers don't enter in class anymore on days they knew meetings are due, especially since Diei-kaichou's term, she’s always had them on the same day. Only, since last year, the first year Soccer Team Captain and Club President demanded we follow protocol stated from the school handbook and do the announcements first before coming to the meetings," she whispered loud enough for Yamada and a few seats more from them to hear. Even Himeko cracked a smile they couldn't see; her back was to them.
"Ahh, well, sometimes I am so busy that I forget its Planning Day!" Yamada was heard saying, who all but looked like he's the type who won't ever forget such a social event. Himeko was quite approving of Chinen's quick catching-on of how to handle Yamada Ryosuke, as he seemed to be waiting for Yamada to invite him to sit down before the confident boy walk out to his meeting that's surely more important than his boastful challenges. And as expected, he did.
"Oh go on then, daijobu, daijobu, we've got a lot of time for me to beat you out on our friendly competitions from now on anyway!" Yamada cheerfully patted Chinen on the shoulder like he's a very welcomed guest.
Ahh, you're such a lifesaver Diei-chan/Nee-chan, Himeko and Chinen thought at the same time.
"That's just his way of a warm welcome," Aya told Chinen as Yamada went with some of the others from their class while the rest prepare to start with the lesson a bit more relieved. "I've been stuck with him since I can remember, so maybe that made me his best friend."
"I guess I'll be counting on you whenever he does something I can't understand then, Hideki-san," Chinen chuckled distractedly from what was really the reason he got so interested about the announcement - Yaotome had said he was currently the Student Council P.R.O.. He also learned that his sister was the Kaichou. Good thing he didn't ask her help then, because his personal search would have ended with his sister who would obviously know Yann Hitomori right away; he's already obsessed with the thrill of his chase.
"Ohh you remembered my name, that's nice of you," Aya nodded appreciatively.
"You knew each other then?" Yann gave Aya a how-can-you-keep-him-from-me look.
"Ah, Ryosuke and I have met him earlier," Aya explained, pacifying her with an I-only-knew-him-recently one, which Chinen in his deep thoughts didn’t catch from their faces. This made both notice his preoccupation thinking he was confused with Yamada, which would be normal for a transferee.
Deciding that maybe getting close to Yamada Ryosuke's crowd would get him near his real motive, Chinen asked as he took his seat, "So how does the Student Council feel about him? I supposed most of them were sempai 3rd Years, aren't they scary?"
"It's just because though he's still in second year, most of the sempais already acknowledge him,” Aya shrugged. “And there are also four simpler reasons really; he's the smartest guy in the school, the most handsome one, he's unbeatable in every sport and also, he's the richest. By the record, anyway."
Dah Gee, who was seated from their right and was also one of the many listening in on their conversation, offered to answer his unspoken question. "No one's ever really tried to take away his winning streak. Although he acts like that, he's nice when there's no possible competition within ten miles around him. He's well-liked by most of the girls, so it's no wonder he won Mr. THS, and can get away acting just like it literally. But he doesn't own it; the Mitsuhiko Family founded the school and still owns most of the shares to it, until whether Mitsuhiko Diei, the current seito-kaichou, reclaims them when she turns legal. Ah, I'm Dah Gee by the way," she winked at him.
"Ehhh, won't that make him in rivalry with the 3rd Years, especially Mitsuhiko-sempai?" Chinen asked anyone as it was clear the talk is an open conversation to everyone who can hear it.
"You're really smart to notice that ne Chinen-kun, but you see, here at THS, we don't switch Student Council Presidents until they graduate from this school. Yep, Diei-kaichou got the title when she was only first year; we hear she was very active then. If he'd come here a year earlier, that must have been quite a disaster, our former 3rd Years didn't like Ryosuke. That would have been a fair competition," Aya smirked. "And it would have been quite good for our friend here noh?" she patted the head of the chair Yamada had vacated.
"But that's just really lucky you know," Yann continued eagerly to fill him in some more. "That Diei-sama was the kaichou when Yamada-kun got here. They say she had been effortlessly the first to have a ninety-nine percent consistent mark on her exams since first year, always just leaving the number one question blank. It's the second highest score from Chinen-san and Yamada-kun. It was rumored she could have gotten on top of her grades too but she just lets him take all the "#1" places in THS he could get. Maybe she was attracted to him like most of the girls or maybe she knew she already one-upped him with the Seito Kaichou Seat. So even though Yamada-kun tried, she never took his provocations. When the upperclassmen demanded an explanation of it from her, she just shrugged and very maturely told them: it wouldn't be much of a sempai of her to take such a kouhai's childish baits or seriously consider Yamada-kun's attention-seeking. As long as her kouhai's doing nothing to make the whole school earn a bad reputation, she'd support him to reach his goals."
Chinen looked almost convincingly sympathetic. "Aww, poor Yamada-kun."
At that moment, Yamada's head poked back in the classroom and his eyes widened as he saw Aya, Yann, Dah and a couple of other neighboring seatmates were laughing comfortably with Chinen.
"Oist Aya! My fuku is absent, fill in!" he hissed when he caught her eyes, while he narrowed his own at the apparent fast popularity of the other boy. Himeko had just finished writing on the board and was now about to start the class discussion. "Go on, Miss Hideki."
"Well you're not as lucky Chinen-kun, now that you're here. And most definitely he isn't too," Aya stuck out her tongue at Yamada as she joined him out in the corridor, to the stifled laughs of their classmates - they all knew what she meant.
Chinen let that go, Yann had just taught him how to get by Yamada Ryosuke - either ignore, tolerate or humor him. Smiling, he turned round his seat to thank Yann for filling him in. "Thanks for the update. You seem to really like Diei-sempai neh?"
"I'm her fan club's president," she winked jokingly at him. Chinen felt really grateful for her unknowingly great help for finding out more about the school norm, especially for the things about his sister he most definitely couldn't have ask Diei herself or anyone else for that matter. He strangely felt really comfortable with her. He was just thinking about asking her if she knew a Hitomori Yann when she said, "Oh I haven't introduced my self have I? You can call me -"
"Did you hear me Hitomori?" Himeko said the last word before Yann did, making both of them jump in their seats. "I said books out a minute ago."
"Hitomori Yann??!" Chinen said loudly in surprise. He looked from Yann's shocked face, to Himeko's disapproving one, to the others in the class who was also staring at him questioningly, so he swiftly added, "..was just, offering to lend me her book sensei, I haven't got mine yet. Really, thank you," he turned to Yann who caught on and nodded holding up her book.
"Oh, I see. Alright then Hitomori, you can move to Yamada-kun's seat for now so you could both share the book, your seatmates aren't going to be back till lunch break after all," she turned away to continue her discussion.
Relieved, Yann hurriedly moved to sit beside him so as not to make her mother reprimand her again. "Ahhh, arigatou Chinen-san, that was a close call," she whispered to him. "But how did you know I really was going to lend you the book," she looked at him uncertainly, "and my name..?"
After a few minutes Chinen finally answered, "Well let's just say that, I wouldn't want to ask all the help I need from the first friend my father promised me I'd meet here at THS in detention, Hitomori Yann," grinning as Yann's eyes grew wider and wider at his words, the same words she remembered saying herself to Ueda Tatsuya, Chinen's father, before.
