Momoshiro Takeshi//The key to my lock\\2

Recap: "Fssuuhhh...."

.....................................................................

Did that guy just hiss? Oh yes. Kaidoh Kaoru-kun, the mamushi(viper) of the Seigaku Tennis guy club, I thougt to myself. Wonderful, i had the honour of meeting the viper in person, and the totally once-in-a-lifetime chance of sitting beside him. Man, you should really congragulate yourself yeah Shinera.

I dipped my head in response and turned back to the board and back to the same position. I felt his gaze still on me, but i didn't bother to care. I heard him hiss again and turn away not too long later.
Well, not such a bad start. At least this guy doesn't make much noise... no, correction, except for that spastic hiss, he doesn't speak much. That's good.

"Oioi Mamushi!" Damn. I forgot that baka Momoshiro. He was so loud that I could even hear him through my earphones. Probably he came to annoy Kaidoh again. Damn was he annoying. Anyway, i didn't hear Kaidoh reply, or maybe he didn't, and not that i wanted to anyway. The whiteboard was looking V-E-R-Y interesting today.

"yare yare mamushi!No need to use that tone with me." then, Momoshiro's gaze fell on me, i felt it.

"heh? Who's that?" I pretended not to hear.

He came closer to take a better look at me, way too close-- his face was inches away from mine. I didn't move my gaze-it was still where it was earlier-, completely obvious to the guy in front of me. Momo blinked, and waved a hand in front of my eyes. I removed my earphones and looked at him with completely emotionless black eyes. He smiled his GIGANTIC goofy grin and introduced himself.

"Watashi wa Momoshiro, but you can call me Momo." He extended out his hand to me.

"Yameshu Shinera." I said without taking his hand, turning to my bag to keep my earphones.

Kaidoh hissed again.

"Fssuuhh..."

Momo blinked, and looked as if he wanted to say something, but i busied myself by taking my own sweet time to keep my earphones, also completely ignoring him as i did just now.

"Nani(what)?" Momo scratched his spiky black hair.

"He's already told you, now get lost you baka. Fssuuuhh..."

"hey don't call me baka, mamushi!"

"No one tells me what to do."

With that, they started their bickering. Everyone in class looked at them in horror. Everyone, except me, of course. I was still packing mt earphones, taking a much longer time than usual. Finished, i returned to staring at the whiteboard. A shape darkened on the board and formed a shadow.

"teacher's here." I closed my eyes.

Harumi-sensei, our english teacher, had just walked into class.Kaidoh and Momo stopped their quarrelling immediately, and stared at me for a moment. I pretended not to see, or care. everyone else returned to their seats. Momo trooped off, fuming, and Kaidoh just hissed. Me? I took out my english book, like nothing happened.

English passed as normal, with some new(and confusing) words like 'house' and 'houses', 'mouse' and 'mice'. And, of course, Momo talked so much with his friend he was sitting beside that the teacher got so mad she made him sit at the extra seat at the back of the class- which so coincidentally happened to be right behind mine- where he supposedly couldn't talk to anyone and 'disrupt the lesson', so she said.

Then, Harumi-sensei passed all of us a sheet of composition and picked us one by one to read it out loud. Then, she called out my name.

"Shinera! Line 15 please."

I stood up and read the line, ignoring the 923300011 stares i received as I did so. When i finished, i heard loads of whispering around me. I put the paper down and look at Harumi-sensei.

"May I sit?" I pointed to the chair behind me.

"Yes, you may. oh! And Shinera, your english is good. Great job." Harumi-sensei smiled.

I did a single nod and sat down.

"Momoshiro! You're next." Harumi-sensei called out.

As i sat, i felt paper crunch under me.

Must be Momo, I thought, I wouldn't bet on Kaodoh.
