Complicated {Sequel to What Am I?}

Eighteen: Chores

(Lunchtime)

"Community Service?!" Yan-kun yelled after I was finished explaining why I was late to class. "How the hell is that community service?! You're basically acting as their bitch!"

"Thanks, Yan-kun. That sounds a whole lot better." I said, sarcastically. "Well, it could've been worse, Amaya. At least you didn't get suspended." Ayano stated.

"I think that would've been better. I mean, it's bad enough to "serve" them, but to wear their uniform. Why don't you just shoot me?" I said. 

"I better go before Aoi hunts me down like some bloodhound. I'll see you guys later."

I waved goodbye to my siblings, then went to the Student Council room. 

"Welcome to the Student Council, Amaya Aishi! Here is your uniform! Please visit Kuroko Kamenaga for your assignment for today!" Akane said, cheerfully. 

I didn't reply as I went into their changing room and got changed.

"Good God, I look riduclous." I said with a frown. I got out of the changing room, approached Kuroko. 

"Your assignments for today. You are to clean the Student Council room. Start by sweeping the floor, then wipe down the table here. When you're finished, return to your class. When it is over, you will report here for any other assignments we may have for you," Kuroko explained. 

"Would you like me to repeat, or do you understand everything? Do you have any questions?"

"No, I understand." I answered. "Good, now get to work." Kuroko ordered. I rolled my eyes and began my chores while Aoi, Kuroko, Akane, and Shiromi went to patrol the school. 

Megamo stayed behind to keep an eye on me. I began sweeping the floor as I thought about what Nemesis-kun might be doing right now. 

"Where's your sister, Megami? Is she sick or something?" I asked. "She had some personal matters to take care of." He answered. "Are you ever gonna tell me what you were doing with the syringe?"

"It doesn't matter anymore." I said. When I was finished sweeping, I decided to go ahead and wipe down the table. 

"When you're finished, you can go eat lunch." Megamo informed. I gave a nod and continued to work. 

As I was getting lunch, I got a text from Nemesis-kun, asking me where I was at. I replied, telling him to meet me near the pool.

I rendezvoused with him there and I found leaning by the fence. "Where have you been? I tried calling you." Nemesis-kun said. "Sorry. I got into a little trouble." I explained. 

"What kind of trouble?" He asked with a raised brow. "Student Council trouble. Because of something I did, I'm basically serving them." I answered.

"What did you do?"

"I'd rather not talk about it."

"How long are you gonna be their "servant"?"

"Until the Guidance Counselor says so."

"Isn't Megamo Saikou a member of the Student Council?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Because I don't want him near my girlfriend."

"Relax, he's not into me."

"You mean, you haven't noticed? I've seen the way he looks at you."

What do you mean?"

"It means nothing. I just don't want him anywhere near you."

I smiled before hugging his neck. "You have nothing to worry about, Nemesis-kun." I assured him as he hugged me back. "All right, Aishi. That's enough lovey-dovey shit," 

I turned around to find Aoi standing there. "Time to get back to class." She said. "Yeah, yeah," I mumbled. 'It's school. Not prison.' I thought before turning to Nemesis-kun. 

"I'll see you after school."

I kissed his cheek, then left to class. 

(After school)

I was in the Student Council Room, doin the chores I was assigned. Just to get on their good side and off this punishment early, I served  drinks to the Student Council members. 

"So, when Megami's not here, Megamo's in charge of the Student Council?" I asked Kuroko. 

"Precisely. Mr. Megamo Saiko handles the responsibilities of the Student Council while Megami Saikou is away." She answered. 

"I think it's lovely we have some more help around here." Akane said as she accepted the tea I offered. "She's not gonna be with us forever, you know? Amaya's only here as punishment." Aoi said.

I handed her a soda, then went over to Megamo as he was reading something on his tablet. "I've noticed how attached the girls are getting to your boyfriend, Amaya." Megamo mentioned. 

"Yeah, he's become really popular lately." I replied as he accepted the tea. "Aren't you worried?" He asked. "Not at all. I trust Nemesis-kun," I said. 

"After all, it won't be a problem for much longer."

"What do you mean?" Megamo asked while raising a brow at me. "Oh, nothing." I said, giving him an innocent smile so I wouldn't cause suspicion. "Can I go now?"

"No. Here, make yourself useful and put the broom and dustpan in the supply closet." Aoi said. I obeyed and carried them to the supply closet. 

"Amaya!" I glanced back as Hanakõ ran down the hall to greet me. "Hi, Hanako. What are you still doing here?" I asked. 

"Well, Yan-kun and Taro are in the library, on a date, and Hanako is taking cooking lessons from Saki. So, I'm by myself, killing time." He explained with a smile. 

"Oh." I replied. When I finished putting away the broom and dustpan, I walked back to the Student Council room with Hanakõ walking beside me.

"Hey, I didn't know you were part of the Student Council! That's awesome!" Hanako said. "It's really. I got in trouble, so I'm paying the price for it. I'm basically their lapdog." I explained.

"Their lapdog? What did you do that was so wrong?" He asked. "If I told you, then you'd be afraid of me and stay away from me." I said. 

Not that I care. I only need one person to love me, and that's Nemesis-kun. "That's not true! I'll love you, no matter what!" Hanakõ said.

"Come again? Did you just say love?" I asked, looking at him."Like! I meant like!" He said while laughing nervously. 

"Right," I looked at him with a raised eyebrow as we were already at the Student Council Room. "Thanks for accompanying me back to the room, Hanakõ." I said. 

"No problem! I hope we can do it again some time! So... can I get a reward for doing good?" He asked. "A reward? You're not a dog, Hanakõ." I stated.

"I know that... but I still think I should get something..." He said, a little embarrassed. I sighed. "Okay, what do you want?" I asked. "A... kiss." He mumbled. 

"A kiss?" I repeated. "Just a kiss on the cheek! Please?" Hanakõ pleaded. I rolled my eyes and pecked his cheek, only to get him to stop begging.

"There. Now go do... something." I said before entering the Student Council Room. "Is that your boyfriend?" Shiromi asked with her hands behind her head, as usual. 

"Who? Hanakõ? No, he's just a friend." I stated. "You sure? You two seem pretty close. Just like how you are with Osana's brother." She said, smirking. 

"We're just friends. End of discussion." I said before walking past her. Sheesh, nosy much? I patiently waited for the day to end as I occupied myself by cleaning and other stuff to pass the time.
