Strawberry Sweets ~slowly blooming~ CHAPTER 2 (part 2)
Ryosuke’s POV:
Mou.. Where have those two gone? The program already started and those two aren’t here yet. Didn’t I tell her it’s a must?
Chinen, who was standing in front of me, turn to say, “Ne Yama-chan? Where do you think those two gone? They’ll be in trouble.”
I dragged my shoulders up. I remembered what the head teacher just told us, “You should suffer the consequences of being late.” I shivered from the thought of his face. “I don’t know either. Demo.. I’m kinda afraid for them.”
“Hai.. Ore mo (me too)..”
“Oi,” Yuto whispered behind me, “They’re here.”
I look back and was looking for an obachan look-a-like girl but all I found was a girl with her black hair fixed in a ponytail, pinkish white face and a pair of lovely eyes. I was lost in my thoughts when I realized I wasn’t the only one who was looking at Misa, everyone is looking at her and Aya! It was when I heard the head teacher say, “This is a good example of being late. I should be the one who’ll punish you and it wouldn’t be easy but since it’s your first day, it’s up to your homeroom teacher.” He smiled as if he wasn’t threatening.
I observe Aya and Misa’s face as they line up with us, there’s no sign of anxiousness.
“Ne? Where have the two of you gone? You got me worried there,” Chinen pouted.
“Gomena Chinen-kun,” they sweetly replied. They’ve been always like this when it comes to the little kawaii Chinen. I kinda know how they felt though.
“I was just helping Misa-chan to get herself back, ne?Misa?”
“Hai.. She has a pair of magical hands.”
Yuto and Chinen nodded looking at the transformation. I nod too.
Both Yuto and Chinen’s hands flew to my forehead.
“Are you sick? Do you have a fever?” Chinen panicked.
“You nodded! Does that mean you agree that she looks kawaii?!” Yuto exclaimed.
“Is that a big deal?” I ask innocently.
“All this years, it’s the only time hearing you praise her like that,” Aya said with teary eyes.
Misa laughed as if I told a joke, “Stop being comic everyone! I got it okay! Yama-chan your joking, right?!!”
All look at her in surprise (Aya was glaring I mean).
“Ahaha.. r-right..” I lied. No I wasn’t joking you idiot. After I compliment her she thought it was all a funny? How can anybody this thick-headed? And it was even my precious first time telling a girl she’s cute.
Suddenly, I heard the head teacher cleared his throat on the mic, “Those five students from class 1-B, who were chit chatting all this time. Would you please be quiet just for a moment please?” he smiled at our direction and some student turned our way.
I lowered my head and peek on my companions and-they were doing the same.
Misako’s POV:
The first class was quiet a mess. First, I was placed at the back beside the only guy I got irritated in my entire life, Yamada Ryosuke. Second, when I finally got a little nap someone woke me up by saying, “Ne, Inoo-senpai’s here.” With my instinct I jump up saying, “DOKO?!” Everyone look at me as if I’m an alien while the little devil beside me laughed to himself. Third, Kota-sensei-our homeroom teacher and a neighbor of mine-randomly chose a male class representative and it was the last guy on his list, Yamada. I tapped his back as if consoling and it caught Mr. Kota‘s attention, “And YOU Misa-chan is the female class representative!”
Yama-chan and I exchange a shock look.
Even without looking at Yuto, Chinen and Aya I know they’re laughing. Who wouldn’t laugh at this coincidence? This will be the fourth year I will be a class rep with him. Oh-was I really that unlucky? How unfortunate of me.
Aya and I were told to meet Kota-sensei in his faculty room during the lunch break for our sentence and so we came. We were told to bring his things to his next class, 2-D.
“Go in first,” Aya said as we reach 2-D’s classroom.
I rolled my eyes and slowly open the door, “Anoo.. Sumimase-” I froze. I was struck by the noise, boys playing around like animals. A zoo?
Suddenly, an unidentified object came flying to my side and landed on Aya’s feet. I immediately close the door. A shoe? Why would someone’s shoe come flying all the way here?
“Go in first,” I begged.
“Iie. You first.”
“Come on..”
“Iie,” she folded her hand. I hate this stubborn girl.
I sighed and turn to the door.
“Ganbatte kudasai Misa-chan!”
“Yoush!” I gathered all my strength and for the second time open the door, “Anoo.. sumimase-”. This time it wasn’t the noise that struck me, it’s the other way around. They sat properly with their best disgusting smiles, “KONICHIWA~!”
Aya and I greeted them back and completed our task.
“Anoo.. chotto matte! Eto-you’re our kohais(under classmen), right?” a guy stood up as we turn to leave.
We turned to him. He beamed at us. The first thing I notice were his cute chubby chicks that makes him so cute. But I wasn’t focus on him; my spotlight is on the guy beside him…my Inoo-kun! My surroundings turn mute as I settle to my world with him, until I felt a nudge, “Oi.”
“Anata-no namae wa?(what’s your name?)” the guy repeated.
“A-ano.. Shida Misako desu.”
“Akanishi Aya desu.”
“Kawaii~!” the class cried out.
“Eto.. anata wa?(and you?)” Aya-chan asked the same guy.
I turn to her in astonishment, did she just flirt him?
“Oohh~” all react.
“Way to go Dai-chan!”
He cleared his throat and loosened his tie, “Arioka Diaki desu.”
Suddenly, they were all blurting out their names, phone numbers and home addresses all at once. I didn’t catch a single thing and I don’t plan to.
“Oi,” Inoo-kun stood up and all were quiet, “What are you all being noisy about? I though you’d behave properly in front of them?”
“No way would Dia-chan be the only one who’ll get himself a kawaii kahoi,” someone complained.
He ignored him and winked at us, “Kei Inoo desu. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu (pleased to meet you)!”
“Hai! Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!” I felt cupid’s arrow struck my heart.
The door opened and there stood Kota-sensei holding a shoe, “Oi, stop harassing them. By the way whose shoe is this?”
Someone raised his hand as the class started to protest but he turn to us, “You way go now. Arigato ne?”
“Hai. Do itashi mashite! (you’re welcome),”Aya said as we exit.
Man. I’m in love.
