Zaira's p.o.v.

"No way in hell I am going to do that!" I sneered angrily and looked pissed at Ray.

"But Zaira chan you are the only one fitting this role perfectly" Ray commented and made me hiss even more.

I shook my head and turned my back to him. We were currently in the hallway at school, and Ray had asked me for this favor as he called it. That only made me super pissed. How dare he even ask that!

"There is no way I will degrade myself as a cheerleader! I am not even in your 'super-secret number card investigation club!'" I yelled furiously "I am the ace number hunter. They should all cheer for me, instead of the other way around!". Ray looked very guilty at me now.

"I didn't think this through. I am so sorry Zaira chan" Ray then said in a guilty tone "If it makes you feel better, I could cheer you on..".

"I prefer no cheers" I interrupted him instantly. It was bad enough having Ray as a fan. Having him as cheerleader... I instantly shook my head. I didn't want to imagine that, ever! It gave me goosebumps.

"Just find someone else, who actually wants to be cheer leader" I said firmly.

"If.. if you say so Zaira chan" Ray said and then was smiling like hell.

He hugged me in very friendly matter "But since it is still lunch break, and you clearly have nothing to do, what about we hang ou..". That was the last thing he managed to say, before I knocked him to the ground rather pissed.

"First you ask me to be cheerleader, then want to hang out? Do you wish to get beat up?!" I yelled and cracked my knuckles. "Just stay away from me!".

I had only walked some steps, when I heard Ray mumble 'Some other time then?'. I decided to ignore it and marched angrily away. If I had stayed, I was not sure what I would do. Ray was just too pesky and annoying right now. I hoped I didn't get to see him for the rest of the day. Sadly some hours later, I was very, very wrong.

Time skip.

I was at the courtyard of the school, while dueling Yuma. I had decided to actually grant him one of his many requests in dueling. Besides, it had been a long time since I had kicked his butt. I had started off with summoning Wolfman to the field and were waiting to see what Yuma was about to do. He had just summoned "Gagaga girl" when Ray, once again, decided to appear from nowhere. I was all 'grr' inside. That until I noticed his distressed face expression.

"Yuma! Zaira!" Ray said and rushed over and took my hand. Thereafter ran over to Yuma cancelling our duel all together. Yuma looked puzzled at him.

"What is it?" He questioned as Ray and I ran towards him.

"Yuma, Zaira, hurry we got big trouble" Ray uttered and began running away with us "Just come with me". I was all 'Oh no' inside.

As we entered the first year classroom, Ray and I ducked our heads as a shoe was flying through the air. Sadly it hit Yuma right in the face, showing a footprint there. Everything was chaos. Cathy and Tori was apparently fighting like hell here, while Caswell, Bronk and Flip were holding them back from attacking each other. I knew Cathy and Tori were not the best of friends, since they both loved Yuma, but this was way more intense than normal.
