Just because I'm a girl

Aoba Josai

I walked quickly through the hallways, to my English class. It was nice to be able to speak English weekend, I think it sounds awesome. Besides, the Russians don't speak Japanese. Hmm. I wonder if anyone else on the team can speak english.
The thought of being fluent in a language my teammates aren't, it tickles me. Stifling a giggle, I open the door to Class 3 english.
"So," the King's voice came from across the room, catching me off gaurd. "The game against Aoba Josai is tomorrow. Are you ready?"
I looked him dead in the eye.
"Did you not hear what Daichi-Senpai said?" I question, nearing my desk. "I'm sitting out to watch."
"What good is watching?" He scoffs. "You'll never learn anything by just watching."
Red haze.
I stalked over and leaned over his table, meeting his gaze.
"I know from watching," my voice was soft. "That you are failing English, while I can speak it fluently. From watching, I know in a few seconds a person's mental state. From the smell on your breath, I know you had pork curry last night."
He stiffens. "How did you do that?"
"First of all, I am very perceptive. Second, I had 3 years of theatre club."
I take my seat, just as the teacher walks in.

At the gym
After activities

Daichi had said I could lock up, after I asked if I could stay behind for a little extra practice. In truth, I wasn't practicing. I was dancing.
Tomorrow, I just know I'll have to face Kindaichi Yutarou and Oikawa Toruu. So I'm letting myself forget about it for now. Honestly, coming home to an empty house(Dad left for England for the month at about 3), is something easily put off.
As I work on my filler steps, music drawing out of my small UE boombox, I can't help but wonder what my two former bullies are like now.

Time for freestyle! My favourite.
First I put on 'Rise,' by Katy Perry. Not a huge fan of her, but she has a few good songs.
Routine in video above.

Man, I love this song.

Next, 'Hold On,' from the movie Ballerina.
Small turns, big jumps and floor work.

And finally, 'Any Other Way,' by We The Kings.
Aggression and fire.

As I catch my breath, I hear the sound of someone running away. Slightly disturbed, I go for my cool down, making sure to stretch.
After cleaning up and locking the gym, however, I am not keen on walking alone in the dark. It's 9:00, and as strange as my neighborhood is during the day, it is just as dangerous at night.
I'm almost home, about two blocks away, when I hear footsteps behind me. Don't turn around. I feel a tap on my shoulder and jump, letting out an involuntary shriek. Turning around, my eyes land on Kei and Tadashi.
"What do you want?" I growl at Kei.
"Just wondering why you're walking out so late," he replies.
Don't let your guard down with this one.
"It's not your business, Beanpole. I do what i want."
"Don't you know how dangerous this area gets after dark?" Tadashi's eyes widen in shock.
I glare at him and nod.
Kei crosses his arms.
"And just how do you know this?"
"Follow me," I whisper, before running the last two blocks.
Pulling up at my house, I am about to open the door when Tadashi stops me.
"Stop! Do you know these people?"
I turn to face him.
"Yes, actually. I know them very well."
Tadashi backs off, and Kei raises an eye brow.
"This is my house."
And with that, I head inside and go straight to bed.

Next Day
On the bus

I'm looking out the window, watching the scenery. My music doesn't quiet the knot in my stomach. I usually fall asleep listening to 'It's quiet uptown,' but thoughts of Yutarou and Toruu haunt me.
My tummy ache only gets worse, and my legs are now like jelly.
"Aki," a voice says. I look up and see Kiyoko. She sits down, holding a water bottle and some painkillers. I swallow 3 and feel the effects almost immediately. I lean against her, and fall asleep nearly instantly. She has such a big sister vibe. Except Ryu-Senpai is constantly flirting with her.
