Sayumi was in a single sex duo with Momo and for some reason, I felt very happy that she wasn't paired with a guy.
I know I shouldn't be selfish but still…
-WHISTLE!
I wonder when my ears are going to stop working one of these days?
"SO AS THE FIRST ACTIVITY OF THE DAY, WE ARE GOING TO START WITH A SLIGHT WARMUP EXERCISE BY DOING A THREE ROUND THREE-LEGGED RACE AROUND THE TRACK FIELD!"
I guess you could call that a slight warm up compared to what we usually face with.
That's simple.
"THE LAST THREE PAIRS ARE GOING FOR A LAP AROUND THE WHOLE SCHOOL! AM I CLEAR?!!!"
""""""YES SIR!!!""""""
Or not!
The teacher began to distribute the ropes between the pairs that were there.
The moment I started to tied both our legs up…
"Don't do anything unnecessary."
Gee. I wasn't planning to anyway.
"Our legs are going to be glued apart due to the tight rope. So its not my fault if something unexpected happens."
"I know how you think and the way you do things."
You did.
Not anymore.
"You know what? You just do it yourself." I said as I shoved the rope to her.
"…"
If she is going make things difficult for me, why should I have to stand by and listen to her baseless requests?
Its better if she does this herself.
This isn't like the old days.
How I wish I was paired up with Sayumi?
I'm already missing her.
To be honest, she may be oblivious to the ethics of personal space and is now in my comfort zone, but I love that way about her and I can't recall a single time when I regretted it.
I've come to like that side of her too.
Saki without much resistance decided to just do it herself.
What's the point of being a gentleman if someone acts so spoiled?
When Saki was finally done, I could feel her warm, soft leg as it was merged with mine and it was exuding a lot of heat.
In this scorching-
She crossed her arms as we made our way to the starting position.
How annoying.
One step.
Two st-.
When we were in the process of lifting our merged leg together, there was a lot of tension and too much lack of coordination due to both our prides clashing against each other which was disastrous for our balance and that caused her to start falling over the ground beside me.
Third time in a span of two weeks.
Just what is happening in my life?
Its not funny anymore.
I caught her in case she might get a sprain or injury or something else. I don't want to be held responsible by that rude teacher for injuring my teammate.
The exasperation she had on her face.
Give me a break.
"Ncaaw, I'm sorry. Feeling dizzy?"
"What the hell is your problem?"
"What the hell IS your problem? Didn't you say to put the past aside and focus on our lesson? I wouldn't mind being last and get a punishment worse than that pair is suffering from right now if you continue to act all arrogant towards me."
"Sorry my bad, okay. But do you want to touch me that much?"
"Oh please. Don't flatter yourself."
"Hey Saku~. Hie Saki."
I heard a voice which I now liked to hear very much coming from Sayumi with dear Momo in hand as they were supporting each other by hugging each other's backs.
"Hie, Sayumi." Saki returned the warm greeting.
They are friends too?
"I can't believe this is really happening."
She looked at us with her scrutinizing gaze alternating between me then Saki then me again and to Saki clearly showing the displeasure on her face.
"This is making me so frustrated. I wanted to pair up with you. Why did I have to be the last one to pick? Why am I the class rep. Sigh. I wanted to be with you~"
Sayumi looked at me again saying those words.
"Sayumi, what are you talking about?" Saki inquired without even realizing her greeting was ignored.
"I said I wanted to be with him. I wanted to be paired up with him~."
I was looking at Momo in particular whilst they were having their small chat and she blushed at the same time looked towards the ground due to being bashful.
I couldn't be help but follow her gaze as I was drawn to those things.
Rawrl~.
"Hey, pervert. I was talking to you too." Sayumi appeared a bit agitated as she covered my eyes with her hand.
So she WAS talking to me.
Instead of replying back to her, I removed her hand and started comparing her size against Momo's in utmost silence and my gaze said it all.
Why does life have to be so unfair?
Sayumi is not flat by any means it's just that compared to Momo who is a cheat right now she looks like a…
"Pervert." Saki commented on my action.
"Momo. If she gives you any problems, feel free to tell me. I'll discipline her for you."
Momo didn't say anything as she nodded her head meekly which was cute.
Only if she would remove her glasses though.
I want to know what she truly looks like.
Both Saki and Sayumi had agape expressions for a moment.
"Momo? Oh, I get it now. It must be that. So anyways, how are you going to discipline me, Saku~? Tell me."
She's jealous.
"Simple."
As I was still holding her hand, I began to intricately slide up my other hand up her arm with my fingers dancing in weird motions which made me question exactly what I was doing and I felt her whole body melting as she shivered.
I'm pretty sure even Momo felt that as she just glanced at Sayumi with a worried look.
Haha. You cannot always expect to bully me like you used to! This is fun.
"What did you do that for? You shouldn't touch a girl like that."
Anyways, she failed to convince me as her red face implied otherwise.
Scratch that.
Her whole porcelain delicate body was of the same color again, twice this afternoon as she looked down, failing to face me properly under this scorching-
"You tend to be very cute when you act like that. Are you trying to give me a heart attack? Sa-yu~"
And I slid it even further until a part of my fingers were inside the arms of her t-shirt.
"Ahh~"
That sound.
I never knew in real life it would turn me on like this under this scorching-.
"Stop this now! I will really report you to the teacher if this keeps going on! I can't believe how much of a pervert you have become lately!"
And with that, I let go of Sayumi.
Looking at the pair right in front of me, I'm so happy to say they looked like twins as they now appeared to be acting the same with flushed faces.
Da-bum!
Heaven…
Are you calling for me this soon?...
Do you really want me that much?...
I'm coming right-
"Momo, let's go."
That combo was dangerous.
I'll never do that again. Especially when they are together.
How could they be cute in front of me like that?
I almost died.
"You seemed to have been enjoying yourself."
Oh! My partner is Saki. I had forgotten about her existence for a moment.
"Let's just go to the starting line."
No need to reply to her about anything. Lets get this over with so that I can be with Sayumi.
"Are you ignoring me?"
Why should I give her attention in the first place?
-WHISTLE!
"IS EVERYONE FINISHED TYING THEMSELVES UP?!"
We are not masochists, teacher.
And he once again directed all of us to move to the starting position.
We were moving a bit slow as both our prides were clashing against each other again with the result being both of us walking folding our arms.
This is going nowhere.
So as a man, I threw away my senseless pride as I moved my hand to hug her back and brought her closer to me so as to improve the sync of our steps so that we could walk faster and I felt her flinch by the surprise.
These girls, flinching and all.
Do I have some sort of flinching magic?
"You just played with another girl right in front of me and yet you have the guts to hug me out of nowhere?! Just what the hell is wrong with you?"
When did her pride escalate that much to talk to me like that?
"I'm just trying to improve the sync of our steps just like everyone else. Look around you first and drop your pride. It's not like I am molesting you."
"…"
Someone looks like she is in a pretty bad mood today because of my presence.
I can't believe she changed that much to the point where she berates me openly.
I saw her glancing at Natsuo who was paired with some random girl and they were supporting each other by hugging each other's backs just like everyone else.
Now I get it. She was afraid of him seeing us like that and misunderstanding.
I'm disgusted honestly.
I still cannot believe how much it still affects me.
After noticing that we were the odd pair, she finally supported me by hugging me back as we continued making our way.
"…?" She sighed.
-WHISTLE!
"EVERYONE ON YOUR MARK!"
"SET!"
And then the three-legged race began.
-WHISTLE!
I hate my life.
Or I used to.
Now I understand why he decided to pair up girls with boys.
If it was a mish mash where everyone chose their partner, that would give boys the competitive advantage.
So by pairing different genders, that would make it extremely difficult and taxing for both since the biological framework between men and women is just that different and complex.
In order to take the lead, you need to have a good understanding of your partner's strengths and weaknesses.
Since people failed to do that, it led to a disastrous start as most pairs kissed the dirt, letting the ground be their best companion with worthwhile desperation on their faces under this scorching…
Wind.
Ahaha!
And we were no different.
Sniff.
