chapter 5: i'm in big shit!

kainan (school corridor)

arika hummed happily as she walked

along the school corridor. it was a very good day for her. actually the weekend

was very good. she spent it with the guy she likes, none other than kiyota

nobunaga. "you're a lucky girl arika! you're kiyota's tutor!"

she was in a dreamy state that she

didn't heard kiyota calling her name. "hey arika! arika!" kiyota

called. he hurriedly went over to arika who was oblivious to everything. he

tapped arika's shoulder saying, "yo arika!"

arika immediately turned around and

found kiyota grinning at her. she smiled and said, "kiyota!" kiyota

replied, "what's with you? i've been calling your name for a whole

minute!" arika blushed pink and exclaimed, "gomenasai, i got lot of

things in my mind"

"am i being a weight? i mean,

am i adding to your problems?" kiyota asked looking serious. arika shook

her head and said, "of course not!"

kiyota grinned and exclaimed,

"sou da yo! anyway, i'll meet you at the cafeteria later this recess

okay?" arika nod her head and exclaimed, "all right, see you then

there!" kiyota winked at her and retracted to his classroom. as arika

turned her heel, she saw ria masahara glaring at her.

"what are you doing talking to

my kiyota?" ria demanded towering arika. arika crouched down and stammered,

"he-he was just asking something ria-sama!" ria yanked arika's hair

and asked, "and what would kiyota ask to a loser like you?"

arika flinched in pain and replied,

"he-he was asking where you were, he th-thought i might knew!" ria let

arika's hair go saying, "i see..." she the grabbed arika by the arm

and hissed at her, "i'll let you go this time loser! but if ever i found

out that you're flirting with my kiyota, you're dead!"

recess (cafeteria)

kiyota whistled happily as he scan

his notes in chemistry, actually it was arika's notes. arika wa kind enough to

lend it to him. "such a nice girl..." kiyota thought. he looked

up and saw arika approaching him. he smiled and waved at her. arika smiled a

little and sat down beside kiyota.

"okay, let's start reviewing

shall we arika?" kiyota replied cheerfully. arika looked at kiyota and

replied, "nee kiyota... anou... i think it's not a good idea for me

tutoring you..."

"what? arika!" kiyota

exclaimed, "not a good idea? doushite?" arika took a deep

eath and

explained, "anou... you see... ria... she might get jealous and you know,

i've heard she offered you her personal tutor. if she find out, she'll... be

really mad"

kiyota smirked and replied,

"arika, ria will not get jealous over something like this. i'm not courting

you or anything and you're not one of those fan girls that ogles at me very time

are you?" arika shook her head and replied, "demo... kiyota,

atashi..."

"iya da! i need you arika, i

need you to pass chemistry! don't worry about ria!" kiyota replied grabbing

arika by the shoulder. arika looked away and remembered what ria told her...

flashback

"i'll let you go this time

loser! but if ever i found out that you're flirting with my kiyota, you're

dead!"

end of flashback

kiyota sighed and said,

"you're y only hope arika, i need to pass chemistry, don't give up on me

onegai!" arika looked at kiyota and thought, "oh how can i resist

him? knowing him, he would die if he can't play basketball because he's failing

chemistry! what should i do?"

"please arika!" kiyota

begged. in frustration, kiyota kneeled down and exclaimed, "onegai arika!

please, i need you!" arika blushed in total embarrassment exclaimed,

"kiyota get up!" kiyota shook his head and replied, "chigau! i

won't get up not until you promise to me that you'll tutor me in chem until i

pass!"

in frustration arika replied,

"oh all right, just get up from there!" kiyota grinned and bear hugged

her saying, "you're heaven sent arika!"

"kiyota nobunaga!" arika

replied, "i think we better start our review..." kiyota sat down

saying, "yes as you commanded arika!" arika could only shook her head

and smile. "that's right how could you resist the guy you're totally in

love with?"

not far away a watchful eye saw

everything. ria masahara clenched her fist and muttered under her

eath,

"you're dead loser!"

end of the class, school grounds

she hurriedly ran trying to hold

the awfully thick chemistry book and history book in her hands. she can't be

late in her tutorial class with kiyota. in hurry she didn't noticed that ria

masahara was walking behind her, trying to catch up with her.

ria masahara along with her posh

friends meai and tanya, caught up with arika. ria grabbed arika by the hair and

yanked it down. arika fell backward and fell to the cement ground.

"itai!" she cried as her butt hit the floor.
