My new Neighbor's an Idol!?

Leg day

"By the way, you owe Otoya a date now." Ishi had no other means to break the news to Rinse than by hitting her with it as quickly as possible. So he spoke up to her once he gained back his energy.

"What!?" They had gathered back onto the track to finish off the sports section of the day. "Why?"

"I kind of promised him that right before he broke off for that big run." He explained. "If you didn't decide to motivate all the boys like you did with that cheer, we wouldn't be in this situation now would we?"

"Oh, don't go turning it around on me now." She countered. "But okay I'll accept." Rinse did relent to him, but only on one condition. "You have to do something for me."

"I'll do whatever you ask." He replied. If he had to choose between her or Otoya in terms of being in debt to. Ishi would pick her every time. That boy wasn't someone he wanted to owe anything to. "What do I gotta do?"

"You'll find out when I come up with something." Her response didn't fill him with any confidence. If it was a favor asked of convenience, then he'd probably end up suffering the most out of it. Still, it was too late to back out now as they turned their attention back to the games.

"Yo, Hirose." Someone called him from behind. They turned around to see who it was. There Ryugi stood with rope in hand. "I need to tie you to me."

"Well, this is already stupid." He responded. "Why?"

"Because the two of us have to go run this stupid three-legged race." She answered. Most of the boys were too tired to continue with the games after their hard fought victory. Plus, since they already won the day, it was kind of pointless so of course everyone said that Ishi should be the one to do this throwaway event. Which is why he was the representative for the boys' side despite not getting his opinion of it at all.

Meanwhile, most of the girls didn't want to end up being tied to him of all people. The only one who didn't mind was Youna, but they collectively decided that she would've been too slow for the race after her performance in the shot put. No one even asked Rinse because she was too "valuable" to be allowed into a race like this. "And I ended up pulling the short stick, so that's why I'm here."

"This might be one of the most convoluted selection processes I've ever heard of." He complained. All of this only happened because of their pettiness against him.

"And can you at least try?" She quipped as Rinse tied up the rope to their legs, Ishi on the left while Ryugi was on the right. "I don't want to look like an idiot on the track."
"I think you do a good enough job of that in class." He had a snide remark towards her, which led to the pair to do a bit of a slapping match in their arguing.

"You're really good at picking fights with people, aren't you." Rinse commented as she witnessed the pair in all their disgrace. "Can't the two of you at least wait until after you're not stuck together?"

"Fine." They both replied in unison, then were about to walk away until the rope reminded them of their situation. The pair fell to the ground as their legs got tripped up from the imbalance. "That's your fault." The pair continue to speak at the same time as they blamed the other.

"Look, obviously the legs that are tied up have to be moved together." He told her.

"You don't think I know that?" She responded negatively. "Just follow what I do and we'll be fine."

"You mean that you should follow me." He didn't like her, and being bossed by this girl wasn't on his agenda. "I'm the smarter between the two of us, so I should take lead."

"I'm more athletic looking at your noodly arms, so I should lead us in this athlete competition." While they fought, Rinse guided the pair to the starting line.
