CHAPTER 10 - Juvenile January (2)

[THE SLEEPOVER]

Relief, delight, and resolute hope sprouted from within the young students of Class 3-E after finding out that their target, whom they have come to cherish, could still be saved. The research from space provided that Korosensei could have only a 1% probability of exploding by March.

Even so, they would continue to swing their blades at their target until the government retracted its request.

To relish in their discovery today, the girls planned to have a sleepover tonight. They chose to do it at Kayano's place considering that she lived alone and its space was enough for twelve of them.

"Rich kid!" Nakamura exclaimed when they had arrived at Kayano's two-story house.

"Even after my parents died, my sister and I still maintained the house with earnings from her work and my acting career," explained Kayano. "Thankfully, I'm managing right now with my sister's insurance and what's left of our savings."

Kayano, then, led everybody inside. "Since we won't all fit in my room, some of you can use my sister and parents' bedroom," she told them.

"We can just sleep here in the living room," Kataoka suggested, reluctant to intrude in a deceased family member's space.

Before heading to the kitchen, Kayano said, "It's fine. There's no way I will let you do that. Wait a moment. I'll serve you some drinks. Do you want juice or tea?"

When the girls had finally become accustomed to the place, they began to play different sorts of games. Of course, Nakamura once again advocated the game of 'Truth or Dare'.

This made Hayami uncomfortable since she was put under the spotlight the last time she played that game with her classmates. She was certain that the same thing would happen tonight with the blonde prankster around.

And how she strongly wished she was wrong.

This time, they have Ritsu spin a digital arrow on Kataoka's phone. When the arrow had stopped towards Hayami, she picked 'Dare', learning her lesson that the other option would only lead to a question related to him. But what she did not take into account was the possibility that her dare would also be about him especially that Nakamura would be the one to give it.

A coy smile was plastered on Nakamura's face as she revealed the dare: "Hayami, for your dare, I want you to go to Chiba-kun's house and give him a hug for seven seconds. You are not allowed to tell him that it was a dare."

"Are you seriously going to make me go there?" Hayami protested.

"Don't worry. It's not that much effort since his house is only a three-minute walk from here," said Nakamura coolly.

***

Chiba was having a déjà vu when he had heard the doorbell while he was in the kitchen. After setting down the glass of water on the counter, he proceeded to the foyer and opened the door.

Lo and behold, the visitor was Hayami in the flesh. Again.

"Hello, Chiba," she greeted like it was nothing.

In a state of confusion, he asked, "Aren't you supposed to be in the sleepover?"

"About that –" hands behind her back, her eyes averted from him "– I want to say sorry in advance."

His head angled to the side. "For what?"

"For this." She took a step forward and, then, wrapped her arms around his torso, resting her cheek on his chest.

He felt as if time had stopped when her warmth had clung to him. His heart began to race at a rapid rate with his face turning red.

Inside her mind, Hayami did a 7-second countdown, shutting her eyes tight as she stomached this embarrassing yet heart-pounding moment. Then she wondered what his reaction was and what he was thinking right now.

Without looking down, Chiba was about to ask Hayami what on earth she was doing when he caught a glimpse of blonde hair by the gate.

'Ah. I get it now,' he thought as he breathed out heavily.

Of course, Hayami would not be doing this of her own will. Although she had already gone to his house spontaneously at nighttime, it was not for a reason like this.

While the rest of the girls were in Kayano's bedroom, Nakamura accompanied Hayami here to live stream on her phone the whole thing for them. Over the gate, with only her eyes peering over, she was enjoying the show when out of the corner of her eye she saw a large figure in a ninja outfit also spectating at the sniper duo.

The peeping Tom was no doubt Korosensei. Hopefully, he wouldn't follow them back to the sleepover, or else he would be dead meat to the girls.

When the seven seconds were up, Hayami detached herself from him. Her eyes were leering on his feet, avoiding his face, as she tightened her coiled fists, her face flushed red.

"That's it. Bye," she said with haste right before spinning on her heel and marching away.

Speechless, as if a lump was stuck in his throat, Chiba did a wave as he stared at her retreating back.

'That gave me a heart attack,' he thought.

***

After the 'Truth or Dare', they took a bath – each taking a turn over the two bathrooms inside the house – which gave Hayami the liberty to ruminate over what had transpired earlier at Chiba's doorstep.

The sensation of his body taller than her, his sturdy built, and the scent of his detergent. All of those have made her feel warm and fuzzy inside.

When she was done changing into her nighties, wearing her hair down, she went to the living room for the storytelling. Four ghost stories later, it was Hazama's turn to narrate, flashlight illuminating her scary pale face.

Some of the girls were trembling and hugging each other from fright throughout Hazama's story. When she had reached the end, Kayano swept a look towards the window where she saw a white round face with a spooky grin.

She let out a shriek, her finger pointing to the window. "A GHOST!" she yelled, making everyone else turn their heads.

Several of them screamed and jumped on their seats until Nakamura's eyebrows scrunched up.

"Wait," she said as she rose to her feet. "That's no ghost." Then she came closer to the window and slid it open.

"It's Korosensei!" she proclaimed.

"Hello there, girls," Korosensei greeted nervously. Chills ran down his spine upon seeing the furious looks of his students.

"I-I just want to c-check if you are d-doing fine in y-your sleepover. I-It's nice to see you h-having f-fun," he stammered after.

Pointing angrily, Okano declared, "You scum!" right before sending a pillow flying at his face.

The yellow octopus screeched when the other girls had followed her lead in hurling random objects at him.

KURAHASHI: What are you doing here ruining our girls' night?

FUWA: Even though this part is not that relevant to this fanfic, the author still wrote this to give you some appearance!

YADA: You're a disgrace as our teacher!

KAYANO: Just leave, will ya?

His heart crushed into pieces at their hurtful words, although he deserved it, Korosensei covered his weeping face before launching off in a Mach 20 speed.
