Foreign Jokes

BRING BRING BRING

[Name] sighed in relief as her last class, Japanese History, was finally over. Laying her head on her desk, she smiled. She had no idea how she was passing this class; other people who were actually born and raised in Japan were failing horribly.

Being a foreign exchange student was tough. Being one from America, a country where people thought that characters were people in literature, was even tougher. It took long nights studying at her desk to be on track with all of the other second years. The stress from this was evident on her face. She had been doing this for a month already. Even her new friend, Aida Riko, would agree that [Name] was working too hard.

"Oi, [Name]-chan!"

Well, speak of the devil.

She rolled her head to the other side so she could look at Riko. She felt pretty lucky that the brunette had chosen her to be her friend. Riko was pretty hard working. Plus, she would eat all of the celery in her bento. [Name] always had hated celery.

"What is it, Riko?" [Name] asked, forgetting the honorific like usual. Riko rolled her eyes and flicked her on the forehead. "You look like you just came back from the dead." [Name] groaned softly as she put her hand on the place where Riko just flicked. "I can't help it if Japanese is so different than English," she mumbled.

Riko watched as [Name] slowly got out of her seat and gathered all of her things in her messenger bag. She wondered what she could do to help [Name] get the fire in her spirit back. A metaphorical light bulb appeared on the top of her head. Perhaps there is a way...

"You like that Izuki, right?" she asked. She found it amusing how fast the reds changed colors onto [Name]'s face. "I-I don't know what you were talking about," she mumbled under her breath. Riko rolled her eyes. "English is my favorite subject, [Name]-chan. Don't think I can't hear you talking softly to yourself about him! Plus, I don't need to know English to know that you like him. The way you always blush when you're around him is good enough for me," she retorted. The blush seemed to grow redder on [Name]'s face. "So?"

Riko banged her hand on the desk, effectively getting [Name]'s attention. "You should tell him a joke! He likes girls who know how to joke!" she exclaimed. Instantly, [Name]'s hands were on her mouth trying to get her to shut up.

"If it'll keep you quiet, I'll do anything!" she exclaimed. Riko smiled wickedly (like, how even) and pushed her out the door. "Go get 'em, tiger! Or, at least I think that's how they say it in America," she said. [Name] stopped in place and turned to look at Riko. "You mean I have to do it right now?" she asked in a loud whisper. Riko nodded. "If I don't hear anything from the boys about your sudden joke telling, I'll stop eating your celery!" [Name] didn't have to see her face to know that she was pale white. There was no way in the world that she was going to eat celery.

With the threat of having to eat celery, she gave Riko a mock salute and went in search of the pun master.

"Ugh, practice was tough yesterday. Thank goodness that we don't have practice today," Hyūga said while stretching his back. A pop was heard soon after, followed by a sigh of satisfaction.

Izuki smiled. "You shouldn't complain so much, Hyūga. You might be looking through a pair of whine glasses one day!" he wittily retorted. Hyūga groaned. "Can you please stop with the puns for one day, Izuki?!" he exclaimed. Izuki shrugged.

"Don't try to pause my actions. You know that's im-pause-able!" He got out his notebook and started writing down his genius.

"Izuki! Shut up be-"

"Um... Izuki-kun?"

Hyūga stopped yelling at Izuki and looked at the female before him who was actually willing to talk to Izuki during one of his pun sessions. Meanwhile, Izuki looked up from his notebook and gave the female his full attention.

"This is... [Last Name]-san, right? Isn't she that foreign exchange student from America?"

To be honest, he had never seen anything as red as her cheeks. He was pretty sure that her cheeks would put fire trucks to shame. He looked at her hands; they were wringing each other nervously.

"Do you wanna know why Ed doesn't have a girlfriend?!" she suddenly blurted out. Hyūga gave her a totally confused look. On the other hand, Izuki cocked his head to the side and give her a look that said "I don't know. Why?".

She took this a sign to go on. With a shaky breath, she shouted," It's because Sheeran away!"

At this point, Hyūga completely gave up on trying to understand [Name]. He assumed that she was talking about some weird Western thing. He rolled his eyes and started walking away from the duo (omg thank god we got rid of him)

Izuki's eyes went wider than a stereotypical anime girl's eyes. He smiled and broke down laughing. [Name], who had been mortified from telling such a weird joke, started smiling and laughing as well.

"Do you wanna know why Taylor joined the track team? It's because she's so Swift!"

Tears induced by laughter appeared in her eyes. She held her stomach due to laughing ask hard. Soon the laughter died down until there was a comfortable silence. Izuki walked closer to her and bent down so that his mouth was close to her ear. [Name] could hear her heart beating loudly as he whispered into her ear.

"I bet the creator of the keyboard had us in mind. After all, he put U and I together."
