Dreamy Days In School In West Tokyo ✔

Chapter 18: Love Battle One

It's Monday. Even though it's Monday I am happier than ever, mostly because dad came back and I got to spend the whole weekend with him. We talked about so much. Mostly about school and the guys, but I was ok with that. He told me about his work too, which even though it was a boring topic I didn't mind. The guys are really happy for me.

This morning dad drove me back to the academy and I got to say goodbye to him like I used to do back in elementary school. I kept smiling after he drove off and when I came into the academy. I noticed too that it's getting chilly. I guess it is almost Christmas and Christmas vacation is coming up soon. I can't wait. This will be the best Christmas that I will ever have in a long time. I hope I can arrange something with the guys too during the break. It would be nice to hang out with them outside of the academy again. I happily skip my way into the academy and into my first class. There I see Haruki texting on his phone. I slowly sneak up to him and jump in front of his desk.

"Ahhhhhh!" Haruki screams at the top of lungs. His eyes are wide and his mouth is open. I burst into laughter at his reaction.

"Hiya Haru," I greet him as I continue to laugh. He hyperventilates as he playfully glares at me.

"Geez, you almost gave me a heart attack," Haruki comments as he touches his chest while taking deep breaths. I giggle.

"Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you," I respond with a chuckle. He rolls his eyes as he smiles at me.

"You seem to be in an awfully good mood. I'm guessing you had fun spending time with your dad," Haruki states with a smile. I nod. He smiles back. "Well, I'm happy for you Rocky."

"Thanks Haru," I thank him as Johji comes into the classroom.

"Alright class. No math today," Johji announces. Everybody's eyes go wide at this. Wait, is he serious?

"Seriously?" One of the students asks in surprise. Johji nods.

"Yup. The drama class needs people to help them in their production, so we're going to go help them," Johji explains. Everybody smiles in excitement. Oh no. Not drama class.

"Well, this will be fun," Haruki comments with a smile. I frown.
"No, it won't," I respond. He looks at me in confusion.

"Why not?" He asks curiously.

"Because Rihito is in the drama class this period," I reply with a sigh. Haruki nods in understanding.

"Well, just hope that he doesn't get paired up with you," Haruki says with a shrug. I nod as I let out a sigh. The class walk together to the drama class, which is all the way downstairs. Johji knocks on the door and the teacher of the drama class opens it. He smiles when he sees Johji and the class.

"Ah, Mr. Chakura, thanks for coming. Please, come in," the drama teacher insists as he holds the door open for us. Once the class is in he closes the door. "Class, please stop what you are doing and listen up." The drama class stop what they are doing and look up at us. I try to keep my head down, so that Rihito doesn't see me. "The math class are here to help us with the production, so be grateful and help them through it." The drama class students nod. Rihito doesn't seem to notice that I'm there. I breathe a sigh of relief as I shuffle behind Haruki. As I look up my eyes lock with Ichigo's. Oh, Ichigo is in this drama class too? Wow, did not know that. "Alright, drama class, pick one math class student and one other student from the drama class and they will be your partners for today." Oh fudge, they get to choose. Oh no. If Rihito sees me he's going to want to pick me. I've been trying to avoid the fact that I admitted to liking the kiss that happened between Rihito and I. The guys probably already know about it because no doubt Rihito blabbed it to them.
