Chapter 6: The Ice Queen That Saved Me

"AAAAAHHHHHH!" I screamed.

Both mom and dad burst into my room ready to battle. They looked around to make sure no one was there then quickly made their way to me.

"Is everything okay?"

"What's wrong?"

They asked quickly. All I could do was bring a hand up to my face. I felt sick like I was on the verge of vomiting all while my head was spinning. I could feel my parents next to me but their voices began to fade away. I jolted to the side of my bed and threw up.

"Honey quickly get the trash can!" Shouted my mom holding onto and rubbing my back.

After a few minutes I sat back up. And gave them a weak smile.

"Are you okay?" Asked Mom putting her hand on my forehead.

"Yeah.. I'm fine." I responded.

"I may not be a doctor but I can tell that you're not." Said dad sitting down on the bed beside us.

Ugh this sucks. I forgot just how painful throwing up is. Either way it's like my third day here and I don't want them to worry about me. It was just some weird dream anyway.

"What time is it?" I asked rubbing my eyes.

"Should be 8:30. Why?" Asked Mom as she watched me get out of bed.

"If I don't hurry.. I'll be late for my second day..." I said as I stumbled to my wardrobe.

"That's fine. We'll call the headmaster and tell them that you're sick." Said Dad.

"Your fathers right. You don't have to push yourself sweetie." Added Mom.

"I'm fine. It was just a little vomit." I said as I put on my uniform.

"Alright but since you did throw up do you want to eat something? You'll end up starving in class." Mom said as she followed me through the halls with dad.

"Nah I'm good Mom. Thank you for worrying." I said giving them a smile.

I really didn't want them to worry about me. That was the last thing I wanted. So we're just gonna power through this mess. I'm going to show them that nothing can stop me and that I can handle it.

"Now that was a mistake." I thought to myself as I laid on my desk.

I laid there in class feeling like my soul was slowly leaving my body. At any point in time I could pass out.

"Hey, are you okay?" Asked Rikiwari as she mimicked me.

"Yeah I'm fine." I responded sitting up.

"Doesn't look like it. You can talk to us Shun." Added Saki hugging her pillow.

"Thank you guys, but I'm seriously fine." I said.

As those words left my mouth my stomach let out a loud growl. They both looked at me. Rikiwari had a huge grin on her face while Saki hid her smile behind the pillow.

"Next time, try to not skip breakfast." Rikiwari said as she slid a breakfast bar to me.

"I completely understand how you feel Shun." Said Saki as she put a packed lunch wrapped in a pink handkerchief on the table.

"Damn, what's all this?" I asked as I opened up the lunch.

The lunch was packed in a nice bento box and carried rice, eggs, sausages shaped as demons, and lots of chicken. Good to know that Saki values protein.

"I was going to wait till lunch to give you this but since you're so hungry I guess now works." Responded Saki slightly blushing.

"I see someone is going for the housewife approach." Rikiwari butted in.

"At least one of us knows how to cook." Responded Saki getting fired up.

"Why cook when there are such great prepackaged food?" Retaliated Rikiwari.

"Such a single person mentality." Said Saki.

I strangely feel attacked. The two of them leaned towards each other butting heads. If this was some sort of anime there would definitely be electricity shooting from their glares.

"Thank you so much Saki. This really means a lot." I said as I gave Saki head pats.

"Ahah aha waw I i It's no noau Nothing." Said Saki with her face flushed red.

"Hey that's no fair." Rikiwari said pouting.

"Deal with it." I said flicking her forehead.

"Eww, normies." Said Maki peeking up from the edge of the table.

"You terrify me." I said almost disturbed.

"As a traitor should." Responded Maki glaring at me.

"A man only becomes a traitor when he gets hit on by girls." I said posing with one foot on my chair.

Wait. If Maki is calling me a traitor does that mean? ARE SAKI AND RIKIWARI FLIRTING!? Could this be the start to my very own harem? Harem. Harem. Harem.

I quickly snapped out of it from Saki flicking my forehead.

"You were thinking about something perverted weren't you?" Asked Saki with a tone that says I already know the answer.

"You choose now to read my mind." I responded rubbing my forehead.

"Ah you're all early." Said Anton as he entered the classroom.

"Sir, you're actually fifteen minutes late." Said Scar finding it a little amusing.

"Do you want to run laps?" Asked Anton with a death glare.

"No sir." Whimpered Scar.

Anton stood by his podium and threw his binder to the side. He took out a pair of tiny glasses from inside the podium and a tiny notecard.

"Alright so it looks like the curriculum for the year has been changed by the headmaster. We will be having a class battles to determine class rankings. And the slots have already been chosen by the teachers that were present for the meeting. So in two weeks time the Misfit Class will be going against Class C." Announced Anton.

"WHAT!?" The whole class burst into chaos.

"That's insane! We're supposed to go against the class directly above us. And even then we don't stand a chance." Scar cried out with Gogo nodding.

"Ignoring my students again. The battle will be set in a duo showcase style. So splitting this class into groups of two it will end up being three duos versus three duos. All class battles will be performed in front of the families of every student. And all families and staff will be judges with the headmaster's vote being worth ten votes." Added Anton.

"Isn't that a little unfair?" I asked.

"What makes you think that?" Asked Anton interested by my question.

"Won't class prejudice take control of all the votes? Families will just vote for their own kids and teachers will vote for their own class. Even if it hits a tie the headmaster would just choose the higher ranking class. It keeps class ranking at a standstill." I said pointing out what I thought was the obvious.

"I think your brains is why you ended up in here. Are you dumb!? People are easily swayed by anything that looks nice. Yes there will people that will cheat for votes or vote with their pride in mind. Then you just have to show them something they can't look away from. Devour their pride." Anton declared.

I think in that whole moment everyone felt it. Anton lit a fire within every single one of us. We were ready to fight now and not just loose. I especially wanted to win now. I needed to show my parents that I could do something they can be proud of. I'm going to win if it's the last thing I do.

"So with that in mind. Go choose your partner or something till lunch." Said Anton.

"S. Sh.. Shun..." Said Saki quietly.

"Yeah?"

"Can we be partners?" Asked Saki sheepishly.

"Gyaaahhh! I can't believe you beat me to it." Said Rikiwari freaking out.

"Why would I pair with you?" I responded.

"Sheesh, why are you so harsh on her all the time Shun? Hey Rikiwari why don't you team up with me?" Offered Scar.

"Eww. I didn't ask to be downgraded that harshly." Said Rikiwari disgusted.

"This world is too cruel." Cried Scar groveling on the floor.

"If that's the case-" Maki tried to speak.

"Sure Scar we can be partners." Rikiwari said with a smile.

"This world is too cruel!" Cried Maki and Scar groveling on the ground.

Gogo stepped forward and offered Maki his hand. Maki looked into Gogo's eyes with tears in his. Gogo nodded in understanding while the two shared a moment.

"What the hell did I just watch?" I asked in absolute confusion.

"Our savior!" Shouted Scar as he bowed to Gogo.

This sort of chaos continued in the classroom as duos were made and all while strategies were being discussed.

I wish I could say that strategizing was easy. But no my mind had to be running around thinking about food. I really wanted to eat the lunch Saki made for me but since it was supposed to be a gift for lunch I wanted to wait. Which leads into the next topic that was running in my head. Why is Saki so freaking cute. Like I feel like this amount of cuteness should be illegal. It makes me think what kind of face she would make in-. Wowowowow stop that. I have to keep the thoughts wholesome. I can't do that to Saki.

"Hey Shun." Said Saki as she reached her hand out to me.

I quickly snapped and grabbed her hand that reached out to me. I looked at her and flashed my red eyes at her almost activating Gravity Manipulation. Luckily I realized what was happening and stopped myself.

"Th-there was an eyelash on your cheek." Said Saki scared.

I quickly let go of her hand. Without realizing till now I got extremely light headed. My heart was racing out of my chest. I got up and headed for the door.

"I'm gonna use the bathroom Anton." I said to our teacher that was asleep.

I walked the halls unable to keep a single cohesive thought. My mind was spinning as fast as my heart was pounding. As I walked my balance would falter causing me to put my hand against the wall to help me.

Ugh what's wrong with me? Why'd I do that to Saki? I didn't even apologize or anything I just walked away. How stupid can I be?

"Shun." Called someone from behind me.

I immediately snapped again. I turned around and pointed my arm out flashing the magical circle for Vara.

"What are you doing you idiot?" Shouted Alena backing up.

"Oh it's just you. I'm sorry." I said trying to shake this feeling.

"Apologize later, just lower the spell." She said slowly stepping forward.

I lowered my hand and just pressed my back against the wall. I slide down and put my face in my hands. Alena slowly walked up and sat beside me.

"What's going on? Are you okay?" Asked Alena.

"I don't even know anymore." I said with terror in my voice.

"That's okay just start from the beginning." Said Alena doing her best to comfort me.

"I woke up from a nightmare that had me throwing up. But can I really just blame a stupid dream?" I asked looking into her eyes.

Alena looked completely shocked by how distraught I was. It was as if something inside her began to melt.

"Can you tell me what happened in that nightmare?" Asked Alena.

In that moment I just snapped. It was like everything inside me just turned off. All the fear and anger just completely gone. I felt like a shell.

Alena quickly grabbed my head and slowly brought me to her chest. She laid my head there and rubbed my hair as she softly shushed my worries away.

I feel like shit. I almost shot Vara at her and she is here now helping me.

I felt like I was going to cry so I turned around and hid my face in her uniform. Her body was very cool and it helped to calm me down. From the light brushing of my hair to her soft chest it all added up.

"Ah the ice queen that saved me." I said softly.

I couldn't see it but I definitely know that those words made her smile.
