It was in the middle of geography class, when a polite knock sounded on the door of Reiko's classroom. All heads turned. 

"Morning Ma'am. May we please see Reiko? [i]Student council stuff[/i]," the boy at the door explained, offering one of his famous Student President smiles. He articulated 'student council' lavishly, rolling the words in his mouth. The silence that had blanketed the room upon Akiko's entrance was broken only by the sound of a lead breaking. It's owner had gritted her teeth, applying an ounce too much pressure on her mechanical pencil. 

Reiko was working on an essay. And she disliked being interrupted from her work while her train of thoughts were chugging at full speed - especially not by student council members off on their errands with their heads held high, thoughts of self-importance clogging their pea-brained skulls. Their activities never failed to impress Reiko - for their sheer stupidity, that is.  

"Here," Reiko announced and stood, excusing herself from class. What was it this time? A charity drive? Sports event? Another one of their fantastic, miserable attempts at cultivating 'school spirit'?

Outside, Akiko, along with a congregation of inbred mutants were waiting for her. The faces beamed. 

"What is it?" Reiko asked, eyeing the colorful pamphlets they were clutching in their hands. 

"Well!" Akiko begin proudly. "The year 4 Student Councillors have organized a blood donation drive, so we need people to help distribute the information booklets. Like, y'know! The time, date, place and stuff." Akiko seemed majorly pleased with himself. Reiko, on the other hand, was scarcely impressed. 

"Okay, right." Reiko drew a pamphlet from a pile held by one of the girls. She held it up, scrutinizing the document with furrowed brows.

"This is wrong," she announced immediately, gesturing to the introductory paragraph. "It's not 'me and the Student Council'. It should be 'the Student Council and I." Reiko returned the pamphlet. 

"Ah!" Akiko turned slightly red. "Right! I must have missed that out - accidentally of course. It was quite late into the night when I drafted that." He shrugged. "So, you'll help distribute these, right?"

"You're not going to change it?" 

"Nahh, we've already gotten them printed."

"Up to you." Reiko motioned for a pile to be handed to her.

"Great!" Akiko exclaimed gleefully. [i]Obnoxious potatos[/i], was all Reiko thought, before she proceeded to make her rounds. 

-----------------------------

It had taken her approximately fifteen minutes to complete the distribution of the pamphlets to the year 3 classes. Her geography class had already ended, and since the next class would be PE, she failed to see why she should be hurrying back. Instead, Reiko took a leisurely walk towards a dark, empty classroom situated at the furthest end of the hallway, with the motive of stealthily discarding her leftover flyers. No doubt, Akiko would raise up a storm if he found out that his [i]precious[/i] work had been unceremoniously deposited, left to rot in trash cans. 

As it turned out, the empty classroom was not, well, empty. Reiko had taken a step into the room only to realize that Kenny was there, seemingly having the time of his life.
