Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 - The Deal

that sounds bad...but same intention. I think I should try to get close to him and do my best to distract him from his studies? Or maybe, it's better to just get him a girlfriend so he won't have any time for studying? maybe he already have one? well ya, I think I should get close to him first.

"Mission: Get close to Scara Mouche!" I said aloud.

I turned to my side and slept, ending the day.

---Next Day---

My alarm rang. I then got up to get ready for school as quickly as possible.

---In the University---

When I entered the University, I immediately tried to look for Scara for an attempt to get close to him.

"Are you looking for me?" a guy asked coming from behind me.

I startled and turned behind me. And ya, it's Scara.

Ria: "How did you know?" I asked, trying to act calm but is actually relief I found him.

Scara: "Because of yesterday, you found out you're not the first anymore right?" he grins.

I was lost for words for a bit, then replied.

Ria: "ya, that's right" I replied, looking at him in the eyes.

Scara: "What's your plan? Beg me to step down? orr get close to me to distract me?" he said mockingly.

!!!

"How did he knoww??" I thought to myself completely surprised.

Ria: "uhmm, I'll never do that!!" I said suddenly in complete shock for my reply too.

Scara: "yeah right, so what's your plan?" he asked, looking forward to my answer.

...

Ria: "I don't know" I replied in a hopeless tone.

Scara smirked then said "I'll step down".

I was completely taken aback by what he just said.

Ria: "Really??" with a bit of excited and relieved tone.

Scara: "Only if you get to beat me in one thing" he said, crossing his arms confidenly.

Ria: "one thing?" I asked, to make him elaborate what he just said.

Scara: "yep, anything. if you beat me once in anything, I'll step down the list." he said confidently.

I was in dazed for a bit then agreed.

Scara: "well there's a catch ofcourse, but I'll say that when I finally decided on it" he smirked then winked at me.

I didn't really mind the "catch", since it was already a good deal. The fact that I only have to beat him in something...anything, he'll step down.

Kat: "Hello, Ria! goodmorning! Oh..." she greeted me excitedly then suddenly noticed Scara next to me.

Scara: "Looks like your friend is here, see ya in class" he immediately said, then he grins and walked away.

when Scara is finally far away from us, Kat immediately asked me...

Kat: "did the two of you just had a conversation??" she asked greatly astonished.

Ria: "ya..."

Kat: "huhh? wasn't it just yesterday that he heard you say something bad about him??" she said and still very confused.

Ria: "ya..." I replied sounding dejected.

"This is bad, I just made a deal with that troublesome dude. Well I have no other choice right? Either I do 100% which is Impossible or beat him in something which have a higher and greater chance." I thought to myself .

"Hello theree!" a girl voice coming from a distant coming near us.

Kat and I turned around finding Rain running towards us while waving.

Rain: " sorry guys, I couldn't attend class yesterday..." she said, catching her breath.

Kat: "something happened? Ria and I was very worried!" she asked Rain looking like she's demanding an answer but with a worried tone.

Rain: "nothing really, just needed to fix something" she said assuring us that its nothing major.

Rain: "Anyways..." she follows while slowly looking to me.

I looked at her in the eyes too then she asked...

Rain: "I saw you two from afar..." she said, slowly side eye-ing me.

Ria: "Oh, Kat and I? well we always ran into each other early in the morn-"

Rain: "No, I'm talking about you and Scara Mouche" cutting my sentence, side eye-ing me even more.

Ria: "Oh you're talking about him... what's up? and how did you know him? you're not here yesterday..." I asked Rain to intentionally change the topic.

Rain: "Ofcourse I know him, he's a big shot!" she said excitedly.

Ria: "What do you mean by "big shot"? o__o"

Rain: "He's been the straight up top list in Computer Science Engineering course! because he keeps getting first everytime, everyone just came to know him! also because he's handsome!" she said while squealing.

Ria: "Computer Engineering..??" intentionally asked to know more about him.

Rain: "Ya! that's his course. For what I know he already graduated... don't know why he's still here..."

Kat and I were surprised by what Rain just said and we looked at each other, then I asked Rain...

Ria: "So that's why Prof. John respected him so much..." thinking aloud.

Rain: "Ofcourse! he's the only one who have done all perfect scores! he's basically the pride of the university!"

I ponder for a bit then asked...

Ria: "if he keep getting perfect scores...then why is his percentage 99.9%?" I asked.

Rain: "Oh it's said that, the lack of .1% is because of his bad attitude" she said normally.

Ria: "Very understandable..." I said to myself.

Then I thought that maybe...Rain knows even just one of his weaknesses...

Ria: "Rain, can I ask you something...?" I asked reluctantly.

Rain: "ofcourse!" she replied.

Ria: "do you know any of this...Scara Mouche...weakness?"

When I asked that, Rain started thinking very deeply with her eyes closed, then suddenly...

Rain: "none actually. He's known to be good at everything..."

and that information is the big NO NO, If he's smart and good at everything, how am I supposed to beat this dude??...Then I suddenly remembered...that I told Scara dude... that I'd get better scores than him in math.

Ria: "Goshh!!" I said aloud in disbelief.

Rain: "whyy? something the matter...?" she asked and is very concerned.

Ria: "oh nothing! let's go to class!" I replied then started walking my way to class.

the two shrugged and followed me. as we were walking, I noticed Kat looking at me as if she knows something. Kat is very observant. Almost everytime that nothing escapes her, so I hope that this one escapes her...then Kat spoked.

Kat: "Just know that Rain and I are always here when you need help you understand?" she told me genuinely.

I was surprised that she didn't say anything about Scara so I just nodded and thanked her. We continued walking. Approaching our destination. Our class today is PE, which I hate very much but unknowingly good at it...As we approach the destination Rain squealed.

Rain: "Ahhhhh" she squeled.

Kat and I immediately turned to look at her and followed the direction she's looking at. And that's right...she's looking at Scara dude...

Rain: "why didn't the two of you say anything that he's our classmate!!?" she asked us excitedly but a bit mad jokingly tone.

Kat: "oh we forgot ;-;"
