Taming Miss President

High school students of Dela luz University are known for being disorderly, rude, and naughty. Even humourless serious teachers can't tame a student, a corporal punishment can't make one stop for making troubles, and teachers are mostly the one who sheds tears and needed therapist.  

•

But there is an exception...

•

Mayumi Miyazaki, also know as Miss President a sober demeanour. Who's also solemn and not given to emotional expression, no pretentious. She is realistically aware of her capabilities, and limitations. And most importantly and she is not tempted by vanity or self-importance.

•

She's also black belter taekwondo, and she's not afraid to throw hands.

•

Meanwhile in the schools' office...

•

"F*ck that paper!" Xavier groaned as he rubbed his forehead, the young man then laid down his back at the wooden chair and let out a sigh. He was sitting there for a complete two hours stapling papers. 

•

You might be wondering why, the answer to that is because he was suspended. And the easiest punishment he got is to stapled paper in the schools' office. 

•

"Where's that girl" He wanders his eyes around the office but failed to see the said brunette. 

•

Xavier, sociable, popular and friendly, consider being the hyper child of the group and a guy who is a good athlete, also an honest man who speaks his mind. But above all that he was popular for always engaging in fights. 

•

Xavier stood up in a hurry and quickly twisted the doorknob of the office door, he was happily smiling a moment ago because he knows he's done on whatever he just did but the smile that he had dropped when he was met by a particular brunette looking at the young man unimpressed and the famous resting birch face and drawn perfectly on her face. "Why hello there, Mr Sanchez" She fakely smiles at him and slightly pushes him out of the way. "Going somewhere?" She asked with an unamused tone. The other grunts "Yes, can I go now?" 

•

The brunette grabs the finished stapled paper and humans as she looks at it. "See, I did a good" The young man brags as he shows the brunette how he staples the paper, but the other looked unimpressed. "The papers are not perfectly arranged when you staple them, making it very crooked" 

•

Xavier just stood there with a hurt shocked face "Why do I need to do it perfectly? It isn't enough that I did without a complaint and I even did it faster than I did before" 

•

Yes, it is not the first time that the said man did that punishment.

•

Miss President raise her one brow and said "Me Sanchez, this is the easiest punishment you can get and if you dare complain about it I will shove a stapler in your throat and make you sing our national anthem" She rolls her eyes then signal the young man to leave. 

•

The said man gulps in fear before he nervously laughs "You're a funny gal" he grabs the hand of the other and kissed the back of her palm before running away from the office, the brunette just stood there cringing in the corner before proceeding to do her works and stuff. 

• 

"Third time of the week, Xavier," Said Kyle, a friend of Xavier. He pats his back and laughs at him "Third time?!" Jan, another friend of Xavier exaggerated laughs with Kyle. While the said young man just silently munching on his food, "How annoying" He mumbled. 

•

"No, seriously man. Are you secretly in love with Miss president?" Xavier choked in his food after hearing Kyle joked around, he just shook his head desperately to deny the accusation of the other. Falling in love is illegal in the eyes of Xavier Sanchez, it was like a big mistake to be in love especially to some who is forbidden to be loved. Xavier was feeling embarrassed on the inside for just thinking he is in love. 

•

In love? He thought to himself 'Miss President is a demon in disguise, liking her is a big mistake and I am aware of that. Maybe it's just that I like the way her eyes stares deeply into mine. I did saw her smile once or twice when I joke around or even if she just fakes it, and it just gives a weird feeling on the inside every time she does, maybe because she's too ugly that's why.'

•

Xavier got cut out of his imagination when the bell rang, it was not a big deal cause most students just continued eating even if the time is running. That's how irresponsible they are, and this happens casually every time it's lunch and the only answer to it is...

•

"Lunchtimes over!" Miss President shouted as she walks inside the canteen, all the students hurriedly stood up and made their way out of the canteen. "Mr Sanchez and friends" Miss President called out the group of people sitting unbothered on the corner "Oh hi!" Xavier happily greeted the annoying brunette. the said brunette came closer and the other friends of Xavier stood up immediately "can I help you?" Xavier happily asked. "Lunchtimes over" She whispered.

•

"I was planning on finishing my food before heading to class" He reason "Well besides my patience, your physics teacher is also done with your bullshit so why not shove the whole pizza in your mouth so you can run in your class" She

•

"Why are you so obsessed with shoving something in my throat?" He joked and the brunette is obviously affected by the joke, she was forcing her laugh to not come out of her mouth but failed as she chuckles in silence and proceed to make a serious face.

•

"Why not laugh more? It's not like you sign a contract not laugh" He joked. "Go to class," says miss President and walk away leaving Xavier laughing. 

•

After a day has pass Mr Sanchez was already sent to the office, again.

•

"Hmm, yes?" Miss President looked at him lips pursed in a thin line. 

•

The other is quietly sitting head low with a black mark on his right eye "you don't need to know the whole story just give me a punishment or something"

•

Miss President felt a bit uneasy but proceed to examine the other bruised face. "Stay" she warned, came out of the office and came back with a cloth filled with ice. 

•

She stood closer to him, bending out her knees to have a good look at the bruise, both their body is tense and heartbeat is hammering in their chest. Xavier was shifting his gaze all around the room, avoiding eye contact with the brunette who's so close to him. 

•

The brunette was deep in her thoughts 'Why now? It's not like I'm jumping from a high place noir swimming in the middle of the vast ocean, but my legs are trembling and my heart is hammering my chest' 

•

Using gentle pressure, she places the cold cloth filled with ice on the other bruise, gently pressing the area around the eye, the said young man winces in pain as the other slowly press the cold cloth. 

•

"Follow me" Says miss president, the other stood up and followed him. As the two walks around the campus with the one leading and another following, still feeling a bit of pain. The two stops in front of the schools' library, the young man was confused but different thought came to his mind such us cleaning the library or arranging the shelf and stuff. But the brunette just sat and even signal the other to join her. Looking around confused the man asked "Okay, now what?" Miss President raise her brow and tilted her head "Now what?"

•

"What do I need to do?" "No punishment?" Xavier asked but she just stood up and came near the nearest shelf and grab a biology book. "You engaged into fights every week what's new? Punishment can't teach you a lesson neither is scolding you so what's the point." Miss President shrugs and opens the book. Xavier just tilted his head in confusion "I'm gonna test your patience instead, sit there until I'm done reading" 

•

The said man got the feeling of excitement for some reason not exactly mentioning the part that the biology book is quite thick, about 500 pages or more. He was just happy that he got to spend time with the brunette who's currently reading the first page of the book.

•

"You can just ask me if you want to hang out" Xavier chimed in eagerly.

•

"I don't"

•

"You look cute when you deny things that are obvious" He continues.

•

"Did I mention that you're not allowed to talk" 

•

"No, it's too late for that" Says Xavier as he puts both his hand on his cheeks while staring at the brunette. "So have you ever wonder why you have no friends?" 

•

"I don't want one" Mayumi replies with anger that is starting to boil inside. "So why hang out with me?" Asked the young man testing the patience of the brunette. "I'm not hanging out with you this a punishment you've been asking for" She fights back.

•

"Does that mean you also never had a boyfriend?" 

•

"Now that's a lot of question, let me ask you some too" "why do you always annoy me? Don't you know what infuriating means? Are you addicted to bullying someone and do you really like being punch and kick? What does it benefit you besides having a bruise? oh! And why don't you tell me why you got a black eye? How bout that Mr Sanchez"

•

The said man thought she was cute so he laughs and even made the other annoyed. Mayumi let out a grunt the stood up, she was planning on walking out but got stopped by the people running for cover outside and umbrellas were opened as the clouds spat out their beads of water. Puddles began plinking as the rainfall became heavier.

•

The brunette has no choice but stay at the library. The room got filled in just a second, so the two sat in an corner bear the shelf. The atmosphere got awkward as the two are sitting on the cold floor side by side.

•

"Girls are bitchy and promiscuous, guys are perverted and have ad behaviour, teenagers these days are disrespectful and disobedient" The brunette stated in a low quiet voice. "You on the other hand Is a summary of all of those bad traits, but you're the only one who can truly test my patience" She continues chuckling at her own words.

•

The young man looks away before letting out a sigh then mumbled "opposite attracts"

•

"maybe we should be friends, " He advised.

•

Miss President gave him a smile before nodding "yeah sure" 

•

"Friends" He repeated, showing his right hand to the other, asking for a handshake that the brunette accepts

•

Who would have thought that the untamed Miss president can be friends with someone who's considered to be his greatest disliked.

•

The story got a bit complicated but that was the end of it.
