Tantei Gakuen Q Drabbles 86-90
Title: Snub
Prompt: 34 Not Enough
Megu snubbed Kyuu pointedly as he tried to apologize for his latest stunt involving her panties. 'I've had enough! He'll have to do better than just an apology this time. I'm tired of him calling out whatever color I'm wearing. It's immature!' she thought, doing her best to let Kyuu know that she was not talking to him.
'He's smart enough to figure it out but he's naïve enough to not think of the reason,' she thought, steeling her resolve for a long day of trying to ignore Kyuu. 'I want him to stop. I hope someone clues him in.'

Title: Race
Prompt: 69 Thunder
Kinta watched the horses thunder down the track with an appraising eye. 'That one is going to win,' he thought, 'and those two are going to come in second and third.' The horses in question were a couple horse lengths back but Kinta knew he was right.
'Too bad betting on horse races bores me,' he thought, setting his sights on the jockeys. The current leader he was observing as an assignment. She was reportedly one of the best but she had been receiving threatening letters.
He settled back and swept the crowds with his binoculars, looking for anyone suspicious.

Title: Envy
Prompt: 21 Friends
Saburomaru waved to the students of Class Q and walked off with a better-than-thou attitude. He threw back, “Go play your kiddy games. I've got adult things that need to be done.”
But he watched them with envious eyes when he thought they were not looking. He wished that he could be friends with his own classmates. Class Q enjoyed each other's company even though they weren't clones of each other. Even when they had arguments, they did not let that interfere.
But he wouldn't admit that to anyone. The Great Saburomaru would never admit a weakness like that.

Title: Setup
Prompt: 55 Spirit
Katagiri watched Class Q move around the mock crime scene cautiously. It took a force of effort not to smile at their tentative movements, especially when the boys realized they had to look through the ladies underwear drawer.
But corpses did not smile. So, she had to keep the 'dead' expression on her face. Her mischievous side slyly suggested that the bolt upright and go 'boo!'
'It would be interesting to see how they would react,' she thought. 'It might even be good for them on dealing with unexpected events. I'll suggest it to Dan-sensei. I think he'll like it.'

Title: Guilty Pleasure
Prompt: 84 Found
'Found it!' Saburomaru mentally crowed as he pulled a book off of a bookshelf. He looked around furtively before shifting the books slightly to make the bookshelf look untouched.
Gleefully, he slipped out of the room and found an unoccupied classroom. He made himself comfortable at a desk.
He pulled his favorite bookmark from his pocket and dove right into the story.
“What are you reading?” a voice said, startling him out of his chair.
Kinta leaned over the desk. A big grin spread across his face as he read the title.
“A romance novel?” he said, laughing.
