Chapter 31 - Chapter 30

*EVENT AT HAND*

{Clears throat} "Everybody, keep it low," says my arch-nemesis. "The Student Council and the teachers in charge of the sports event have successfully drafted all students to their respective teams. You will receive a message before the end of the day with detailed information. That is all."

Well, I guess it's time to move. Hananoi's going to the rooftop again.

"Misaki?? Sorry, I just realized you were here. Least I forget... thanks for saving me, I guess…" {Laughs}

"So, Hananoi, what sport are you good at??"

"Me? Nothing. Except dancing."

"Dancing!!!!" {Laughs} "I can't really imagine you dancing."

"That's true," I replied.

"You dance??" Fuyuki interrupts.

"I guess," {sits}.

"Show us a quick performance!"

"Are you kidding? That's going to be embarrassing."

"Are you serious? Even Misaki is waiting."

"Never!" I replied.

"Then why did you tell us?"

"Excuse me, did I just hear 'us'? I clearly wasn't talking to you from the start. Fuck off, loser. Go home, boy."

"Thanks a lot."

"Eh, you two put on quite a show," {Stands at the entrance}. "Fuyuki, as a joke, can't be telling a joke. So a loser shouldn't judge a loser."

"HA-NA-NOI!!!!!!"

Hmmmm... what excuse can I give to get to the infirmary? I wondered. A simple head or stomach ache feels a bit outdated. {taps pocket} I still got a pencil sharpener with me. A little cut and pretty small bleeding... it's ok. Now, nurse's office it is.

First aid done. And with a pretty reasonable excuse to sleep. "Did the cut on my hand lose its grip?" {Meaning: Did the bandage come loose?}

{Phone Vibrates} Oh, info on the uncomfortable event. "Purple team. Teacher in charge is….." Nice one my luck sucks. Next is students with the same fate. I can see Fuyuki and the Vice Prez as familiar names. Well, it's not like I'm going to be of any help.

"I definitely knew you were going to say that, Hananoi."

Vice Prez. "Been a long time, I guess."

"Yes, it has. But can you stop the fake act?"

"Come on, just let me be. I'm not the athletic type."

"Figures. Then what about your match with the female basketball captain?"

{Gasps} "You saw that???"

"Never seen you scared to this extent, Hananoi Tojiko.."

"Come on, it's just a couple of races. Nothing that much."

"Aoi San!!! A 'couple'? You've got to be kidding me. And hold on for a sec, what makes you think I can run?"

"Hmmm... a hunch, I guess."

"Damn it. I have to get off this bed and negotiate with the actual people in charge."

"Excuse me, I already submitted your name. Dude, just rest. Later it is."

Like seriously, I want to be invisible. Is that so difficult??

**Distant Talk**

"Senpai, you're in the red team, just like me! The prodigy in running."

"Anything about sprinting is done for since you're in, Senpai."

"Hmmm really? She must be quite fast. No competition…" Maybe I should get serious.

It should be fun…
