Chapter 20
"I'm sorry Sakiko" Noriko apologized feeling bad at the way Mar talked to Sakiko.
"What is wrong with her anyway? It's okay Noriko" Sakiko ignored her and turned to her side to talk with Ayumi-san and Reina.
"How was the soccer on Friday?"
"The bomb, I would do it again this Friday Sakiko" Reina eagerly replied her.
"We have mid-term break on friday. Today test commences" she reminded Reina.
"True, Mr Ito is about to announce" Ayumi said to Reina. "If you'd just listen Reina."
"Why am I to be blamed. Sakiko asked a question... "
"Shhh" they both silenced her and earned a pout from Reina.
"As we all know, today our first general test commences. No one should cheat or you would face the disciplinary committee if caught."
He gave the announcement and after everything, they all filed out of the a.s.sembly hall.
As they walked back to cla.s.s, Mari rushed to meet Sakiko.
"Can I sit down close to you Sakiko?"
"No Mari" Sasuke replied as he walked up to Sakiko.
"What's your deal Sasuke?"
"What is yours Mari?"
"Where you are sorted was first my seat" she shouted at him.
"Was Mari, was... You left, I am there
"Sasuke do talk like that" Sakiko decided to intervene.
"Leave him alone. What do I care, sit there" she pouted and lifted her face up as she walked past them.
"What would I do with her?"
"Nothing Sakiko. Ignore her" he held her hand rea.s.suringly and she gave him a smile in return.
-------
After the test for that day, some of them went to play soccer.
"Sasuke" Sakiko called.
He walked up to her, "Yeah? What's up?"
"Would you play with us girls or boys?"
"We are five boys joining the girls. Would that make you happy?"
"Definitely. Make you you score some goals okay."
"How about you?"
"I want to be the goal keep" she gave a shy smile.
"Nice, Sakiko the Keeper. Our number one, do me proud" he winked.
"Sure" she rushed to her position.
At the end of the match, Sakiko's team won, six goals to one.
"We won!" they rushed to hug each other at the last whistle.
"You were amazing" he patted her head.
"You did well too, two goals... Nice" she hugs him again.
"Sakiko don't squeeze too hard. It's all right, let's go to my place."
She entangles herself from his embrace, "No I'm not going."
"Huh! Why is that? That's where you stay!"
"Well you said your place."
He smiled, understanding what she meant. "Okay, our home, sister" she smiled s.h.i.+ning her teeth as she jumped on him, causing both of them to fall down.
"Sakiko... "
-------
On Thursday, the last day of the general test before their mid-term.
"Our final test. I'm glad. Finally I can sleep well this night" she shouted a toothed grin.
"Yeah, success today."
"Thanks. You too" she still had her wide grin.
She was definitely thinking of some mischief right now.
"Why are you smiling like that?"
"I was just thinking... I would bug you this night. We haven't had time playing cause of our general tests. But now, hehheee get set for trouble."
"Oh my, I'm in for some disturbance, can't I sit this one out?"
"Nope, mehhh" she brought her tongue out.
He scratched his head as he smiled at her. "By the way, how did you like your valentine present? I loved mine."
"It was the best honey, you are so romantic. Gosh your sister should be lucky to have you as a brother. So also your wife."
"Thanks" he blushed at her compliment. "I think I have found my sister."
