SpartAce I: School Love Affair

Metal Girl

The rules of the game were announced.

The first team who would turn into a post, set not too far ahead, and get back to their starting line first wins.

Kim Jong Kook bends by his knees as the MC's give the cue to start.

"3, 2, ..!"

Ji Hyo boards on his back and he supports her legs with his arms as she calmly holds into his shoulders.

He resists the urge to tell her that she is heavier than she looks, for he is certain he would have gotten a good smack from her.

He is not sure if she really is the hitting type yet. Almost everyone in school sees her as Miss Prim and Proper. But he is certainly sure she almost hit him earlier though.

"Ready..! START! ", Jude yells.

He sprints so fast that he immediately gets past through 4 pairs with Ji Hyo clinging strongly behind him.

But sufdenly, Ji Hyo topples backward as she yelps with annoyance, lowering his acceleration.

He sees the two other teams with girls on their backs pass by both of their sides.

"Sjncisne!!! ", Ji Hyo cussed after those two teams, which surprises him.

He focuses in running again but just gets third place.

He places her down and faces her.

"Hey! You should have held on tighter and we could have won! ", he says, but her gaze is not directed to him though.

She is currently throwing dagger looks at the girls on the other teams.

"Hey! ", he calls.

Only then does she turn to him, her gaze still piercing.

"You should concentrate on the game and not the competition. ", he says, refering to the girls.

"OKAY, WE STILL HAVE TO DO TWO MORE TO DECIDE 2ND AND 3RD PLACE. ", the MC announces and the players move to their spot again.

The current winners are now standing aside,having already claimed 1st place.

"Okay! We have to place second!", Ji Hyo says with a sudden boost of determination.

"Of course we should!", he says as he bent again and sge boards on his back.

This time, she leans forward and wraps her arms around his neck, her face hovering just over his right shoulder as she says through clench teeth,"You dare mess with the wrong girl."

Though he seems confused if for whom that statement is though.

"GO!"

"Go,go,go!", Ji Hyo urges as the race starts that he almost thought he is about to go deaf, for her lips are just beside his ears, but he keeps running.

Two teams are ahead of them, but he is now catching up behind them.

The rider of the one in front of them is one of the girls whom he saw Ji Hyo having a glaring contest with earlier.

He goes faster,and he comes side by side with them.

Out of the corner of his eye, he sees the other girl reach out to their direction.

"Oh no, you don't, -#*%73-4!", Ji Hyo cusses again as he feels one of her arms unclings from his neck and slings the other girl's hand away.

He hears that girl yelp in pain before he goes even faster and leaves that team behind.

Their team mates cheer loudly as they both reaches the finish line and they are announced second.

He places Ji Hyo down and does a high five with the others.

But when he turns and takes a glance at Ji Hyo, he resists himself from laughing, for she looks like a mess.

Her hair is ruffled, with some strands sticking on the side of her face, and even his sweater is showing a lot of skin on one side of her shoulders than the other.

But still, she is smiling triumphantly as she gives an uncanny gaze at the girl she had just beaten.

Kang Gary comes next to her and pats her shoulder. "Good job, Ji Hyo-ah.", he greets.

That is when her evil gaze disappears and is replaced by her usual, blank expression.

"How did you injure your arm?", he overhears a guy ask.

He turns around and sees that it is the partner of the girl whose arms had been slung away by Ji Hyo.

"Oh! Don't touch it! I think it's bruised!", the girl complains and throws a glare at Ji Hyo.

Did she just..injured another girl???
