"it's a game our class created! jankenpo with a twist."
"it sounds delightful!"
"is she that dense?" y/n was stood off to the side behind yumeko. her e/c eyes were laced onto mary's smirk. mary saotome was an odd character. she turned nearly everyone she gambled from human to house pet. it wasn't a lie she was scary, especially to the already lower ranked students. a scowl was embedded onto y/n's face as she nearly spit at mary. she had an obvious distaste with the female. neither of them were big fans of the other.
"it's pretty simple, i'll explain. thirty people individually draw rock, paper, or scissors on a card. all thirty cards are put in a box where the players cannot see them."
"i think i'm starting to get it, continue!"
"great, after betting, the players draw three cards each. each player chooses one of their cards to face-off against their opponent. if both players choose the same card, it's a draw and another card will be chosen from the remaining two cards."
"it sounds amazing! let's play." yumeko's hands clasped together in a sweet, almost innocent way. it caused the girl behind her to cringe. she knew how this game would end and she was dreading it. y/n l/n was going to end up watching over a house pet. a new addition the low class group.
the h/c-ette lingered on mary's face for a second more before shuffling her feet in an impatient manner. the girl had a temper, that was obvious. something she didn't have was patience. she hated drawn out silences or stares. games that rely on focus. gambles that take a lot of effort and thought. anything tested her patience easily, which was the newfound cause of her slight discomfort now. mary has been smirking for too long, not starting yet.
"if you're going to play, then play." she grumbled, watching the students shiver. mary roller her eyes, her blonde pig tails shuffling lightly as she turned her head. the students began drawing on their card. nearly every one of them looked behind yumeko before proceeding. y/n followed their eyes with her own and watch as ryota held up one of the signs.
"so that's how she's cheating today." her breath grew hot in anger. mary was an unfair gambler, something y/n hated. she always liked fair fights, another reason she rarely gambled at the academy. a flame seemed to flicker in her vision. she didn't want to watch, but she promised the president. a sigh left her lips as she watched yumeko.
"so what will the bet be?"
"how about two chips?" yumeko placed two chips down. mary called and placed down two as well. y/n could almost see the plan forming in mary's head. the two females had originally started as friends, before y/n was pressured into joining the student council. it was never her intention to join but when she revived a visit from the president offering a spot, her parents had decided she should take the place.
the l/n family was all about power and status. they'd do anything to stay high and mighty, even if it meant hosting illegal events. it was never discussed amongst the family but everyone knew.
"oh! i won! another round then?" yumeko's cheer pulled the h/c-ette from her thoughts. 'this is going to take a while' y/n thought, taking a seat on top of a desk. she'd decided to stop paying close attention to the gamble, that was until about fifteen minutes later when a sudden gasp was heard around the classroom.
her legs carried her back to the table to see yumeko holding the winning card, scissors. "hah! i never thought the day mary would become a mittens." the female tainted the blonde. y/n was thrown into a fit of laughter, e/c eyes sparkling lightly. mary saotome was the 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 to the house pet system of hyakkou private academy.
