_______________________________________________________________________

    The bell just rang. "Class dismissed, recess time you guys," Ms. Stanford casually ended her discussion. All the students stood up and bowed down. "Hmp," Daniel closed his comic book. He turned to look at Kristina and then sighed. "Stupid girl."

     "Shut up," she held her breath. Daniel and everybody else in class left the room. Kristina put her books back in her bag and then buried her face in her hands. "Daniel... You're such a BUTTHEAD." She muttered in an angry tone. The clock ticked. One... Two... Three...

     "GAAAAAA I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!! YOU IDIOT, I'LL RIP YOUR FACE APART, JUST COME AT ME!!!" she switched back into her Spartan Pres mode.

    "Whoa," Ella sat down on Kristina's desk holding an umbrella. "Danger. Black Tina has appeared. Keep calm."

     "Ella..." Kristina suddenly made a face that was about to cry. "I can't go out while that damn rumour. is still spreading! It'll ruin my reputation as the president!"

     "That's all?"

     "What's all?"

     "Your reason. Is that the only reason you're ashamed to go out? Because it'll ruin your reputation as our pres? Don't you care about your image as a lady?" Ella folded her arms.

  Kristina thought about it and shrugged her shoulders. "Why should I? I don't care what others think of me. But if the rumour spreads all over the school and all the teachers find out, I may not have the opportunity to run as the president next year again!"

     "Tina, the whole school already knows. It's just a matter of time until the teachers do too, Ms. Stanford even witnessed it. Twice, right?"

     "What the hel--"

     "Don't worry about it. A rumour like that will die out in less than a week," Ella reassured her.   "Now let's go already. P.E is about to start and we haven't even changed yet. Hurry up."

     "Fine..." Kristina sighed.

 They both headed towards the locker room and changed in their P.E attire. It was a pair of red shorts, a plain white shirt and sneakers. After changing, they went down and approached the swarm of students crowding their teacher, Mr. Emerson.

     "Okay!" Mr. Emerson blew on his whistle. "Girls, stand on this side, and boys, stand on that side." He separated them.

   When the groups finally settled down, Mr. Emerson made his instructions. "Today we're gonna play a game. Although it has no relevance to our topic, this game will teach you how to handle your team mates and opponents. I will be observing and recording your behaviour towards each other. Any unsportsmanlike act will not be tolerated and will be sent to the bleachers immediately."

    "Now here are the rules. I am holding here two balls. Each team will possess one ball and they should do whatever it takes in order for the opposing team not to take it. The first team to get their ball stolen will face the punishment game." Mr. Emerson said.

Sean raised his hand. "Boss!" He yelled. "After we steal their ball, what next?"

    "That's right I almost forgot. Each team has their own base too. See those two poles at each side of this wide field? That'll be your base. Now, after you steal the other team's ball, you need to make a run for it so they can't retrieve their ball. Next, when their ball is in your hands, you run back to your base and claim their ball as your own, after that, the victor will then be decided. Every player has the right to play, but every team needs a leader."

  Mr. Emerson continued, "For the girl's team. Let's see... Kristina. You're the leader, be responsible for your team alright?" 

Kristina nodded.  

    "Now for the boy's team. Let's see..." His eyes were strolling around the herd of boys, searching for a responsible leader when it suddenly stopped at Daniel. "I haven't seen you before. New student?" 

    "Yes sir," Daniel replied. "My name is Daniel Curtis and I just transferred here a few days ago."

  Mr. Emerson folded his arms and a suspicious grin crossed his face. "This boy is somehow different from the others. I'm curious," he thought to himself. 

    "Alright," he rubbed his hands. "Daniel, you're the leader for the boy's team. You better not chicken out when your opponent is someone as tough as Kristina. I wanna see what you got." 

    "Heh." Daniel scoffed.  

   "Damn." Kristina began to feel nervous. "Just what I needed," she muttered in a sarcastic tone.

  Kristina and Daniel were called upfront and claim their ball. While Mr. Emerson was between them giving them further instructions, they exchanged glares. "...you can use any method, excluding violence of course." Mr. Emerson kept talking. "Now, shall we begin the game?" he flashed a carefree smile. He stepped back, signalled them to get ready, and blew his whistle. "Game start!" he yelled. 

  Both the team leaders ran to their bases holding their ball. Kristina passed it to Ella to guard it while she defends their base. 

  On the other side, Daniel passed the ball to Sean so he could guard their base as well. They both used the same tactics, probably had the same plan in mind. "I'll bury him alive," Kristina said in a scary voice as she spread her arms in front of the pole. "Gyaaa!!!" Ella screeched. Kristina found Ella being chased by one of the guys. The objective was to steal the ball. Ella ran as fast as she could, holding the ball tight and hugging it against her chest. "Help!!!" She began to slow down from running too much. 

    "Amanda! Take the ball from Ella and help her!" Kristina yelled. So Amanda ran towards Ella and threw her arms in the air. "Pass! I'm open!" Ella threw the ball and Amanda caught it in perfect form. 

    "Good job! Now Trisha, steal that ball from Sean's filthy hands!" Kristina said. 

   "Roger!" Trisha did as told. 

  Sean had no idea that Trisha was gonna steal the ball from him; he was too busy staring at the people getting chased around. He was so distracted that he forgot that the ball, and the fate of their team rested on his hands. Trisha swiftly snatched it from his arms and quickly ran back to their base. "Kristina! I have it!" 

    "Oh no!" Sean finally noticed. "Daniel! The ball--" 

    "Don't worry," he replied with a sigh. "Guard this rusty pole while I'm gone."

 Trisha was about to throw the ball to Kristina when Daniel suddenly grabbed a hold of her arm and gently took the ball back. Simple as that. "H-Huh?" Trisha was shocked. 

    "What the hell?!!" Sean yelled from afar. "How'd you get there?! You got super powers or something?!" 

    "Damn you Daniel..." Kristina said. Daniel just made a cocky grin. 

  Half an hour has passed, and both members of the teams were exhausted. They all slowed down, especially the girls. Now, it was all up to Kristina. "You all guard the base while I go get their ball," she said. 

    "Crap!" Amanda cried. Sean ran away in the blink of an eye with the girl's ball in his hands. "I was caught off guard! Tina!" 

    "That was dirty! Grrr... I'll get it back," she said. Kristina released an intense black aura as she positioned herself, her eyes were burning. She caught up with Sean's speed and quickly snatched their ball back. "AAAH!!! A demon!!!" Sean yelled, and then he tripped. The moment everybody feared has come, the appearance of Spartan Pres, Black Kristina, or whatever they called it. She ran all over the field searching for the boys' ball. Suddenly out of nowhere, a group of boys surrounded her.  

    "Hehe." she made an evil chuckle. "Did you really think that you could trap me?" 

   She jumped high and hit the ball on one boy's head and then it bounced back and forth continuously on the other boys' heads. It was as if she was playing pinball. "Then think again!" 

  Five boys were down. The girls back at the base cheered and successfully guarded their base from the boys. Every boy that tried to steal the ball from Kristina failed. She was that terrifying. "Damn it, we're losing to a single girl!" Sean said. Daniel was impressed and he felt excited. "Interesting," he said. "You, guard the base. It's my turn to play."

  Kristina was about to snatch the ball from Rodrick when Daniel suddenly appeared in front of her. "Gah!" she yelled in shock. Rodrick took a step back and stood between the two. He swallowed hard and stared at Daniel and Kristina with the ball in his hands. "I see. So it's between team leaders now eh? Perfect! Now I can take revenge on you," she made a confident smile. Rodrick ran away with their ball and went back to their base. 

    "Don't let him take our ball Tina!" Ella screamed from the base. 

 She hugged the ball tight against her chest and stared intensely at Daniel, expecting him to try and steal the ball away from her. Daniel just simply put his hands inside his pockets and kept walking closer to Kristina. "You know what?" he started. "Just give me that ball, shorty. The winner will be me no matter what anyway. Don't waste any more of your futile efforts." 

    "What?!" She exclaimed. "You cocky bastard! Don't call me shorty when you're just six inches taller than me! And you are not getting our ball!" She quickly kicked the mud and it splashed all over Daniel. His white shirt was now dirty, and his face was covered in mud too. Kristina laughed and both the teams cried out, "Whoooooooa." 

  Daniel's expression didn't change. He wiped the mud from his face and looked at Kristina. "We can use any method excluding violence, right?" he said. Then he suddenly took off his shirt.

    "Kyaaaaaa!!!" the girls from the base were going crazy. "OMG! He took his shirt... off! He took his shirt off! Aaaah!!! He's sooo hot!!!" Their eyes were practically in heart shapes.

Daniel had a firm chest, a sturdy back and a body in perfect form. He had a swimmer's body. 

    "Aaaah!" Kristina blushed and closed her eyes tight. "What the hell do you think you're doing you pervert! Put your clothes back on!" 

    "No way, they're covered in mud. It's your fault you know. Here, wash it," he threw his shirt to Kristina's face. "Gaaaah! You butthead! Idiot! Yuck! Get this thing away from me!!!" 

  Daniel began to approach Kristina again. She stared to feel more nervous. "Give me that ball," he said. Kristina shook her head and ran away. "You're not getting our ball you butthead!!! Stay away! And wear your stupid shirt!!! I don't care if it's dirty!" Her eyes were still closed tight.

  Daniel chased her all around the field. While Kristina was desperately running away, he was having fun teasing her, and he didn't even break a single sweat from running for so long. Mr. Emerson was getting amused as well. He never saw Kristina act like this before. Who knew she couldn't take to look at shirtless men? What a funny discovery.

    "Kyaaa!!! Stay away from me you shirtless idiot!!!" Kristina still kept running away and her eyes were shut tight. She didn't notice that Daniel wasn't even chasing her anymore. She just found out when she suddenly bumped into something. "Ow..." she muttered. When she slowly opened her eyes, it was Daniel! And both her hands were resting on his chest.

   "AAAH!" she took her hand and stepped back. "Why is his chest so freaking hard?" she thought to herself. Everybody including the teacher screamed. They were having so much fun watching. 

    "Heh." Daniel scoffed once again. "Who's the pervert now?" 

    "Still you! And you're not getting our ball!" She stuck her tongue out and made funny noises.      "Bleeeh!!!" 

Daniel walked closer and closer to Kristina. "I'm tired. Give it already." 

    "Play the game fair! You should steal it from me, those are the rules!" she yelled.  

    "Nope. You're hugging that ball tight against your chest, do you want me to take it even if I may touch yo--" 

   "Lalalala! Shut up you PERVERT!!!" 

   "Fine." he said. "We can use any method right? Looks like I have no choice." 

  Kristina swallowed hard. What method was he gonna use exactly? She took a step back again. She couldn't look at Daniel straight because she was too embarrassed to. He had no shirt on after all. "W-W-What are you planning to d-do?" her voice stared shaking. 

    "Well," Daniel walked closer to her again. She tried to run but he suddenly swept Kristina off her feet and gently threw her on his left shoulder. "Since I couldn't steal the ball, I'll steal you instead. Maybe you're some sort of a package deal or something." 

  Kristina started kicking and screaming, everybody else who was watching kept screaming too. "Put me down!!! Put me down this instant Daniel!!!" She started punching his back, but it had no effect. She tried to throw the ball at her other team mates, but it was too risky. They were too far away. Finally, they arrived at the boys' base. Daniel dropped Kristina on the floor and Mr. Emerson blew his whistle. "Victory for the boys!" They all yelled success, and the girls weren't disappointed-- they saw Daniel's body after all, and it was enough for them. Didn't go the same for Kristina though.

    "That was so unfair!" she pouted. Mr. Emerson chuckled. "I didn't expect you to lose, Kristina. Guess a new strong rival appeared eh? What a smart way! Since you couldn't take the ball, you took the person holding it as well. Nice one Daniel!" 

  Daniel wore a fresh new shirt lent by Sean. His expression didn't change as usual. Kristina was sitting on the ground, so he squatted down in front of her until his face was the same level as hers. "Face it; you'll never win against me." 

    "Shut up! I really hate you!" 

   "Oh really?" Sean interrupted. Everyone turned to face at him. "You're always saying that but in truth, you really like him don't you? I mean, he's your fiancé and all." 

Mr. Emerson's jaw dropped. "Repeat?" he said. 

    "Oh. Mr. Emerson, you didn't know? These two were engaged ever since they were kids. What an unusual couple right?" Sean smirked. 

    "No way," Mr. Emerson scratched his head. "Kristina? And Daniel? But... they're like cat and dog, rubber and glue, fire and ice. The exact opposite!" 

    "So what?" Ella suddenly jumped out from the crowd and gave a cheerful smile to everyone. "Opposites attract don't they? Yin and Yang were opposites too, right? To maintain balance and all? And if she's fire, and he's ice, it only means that their weakness is... Each other!"

  They started teasing them and Kristina felt defeated and frustrated. She had no energy to fight back now. "Whatever." She looked away from Daniel's face.  "Fine. Daniel, this is your win. But just you wait, I'll crush your bones until they become dust." she still had the strength to release a dark aura. 

     "Sure." Daniel smiled at her as if he was smiling at a kid and patted her head. "But before you crush me, I want to know what your punishment is." 

     "What?!"

    "Oh, that's right! The losing team will face the punishment game. Whoever made their team lose will face the punishment game alone, sorry to say Kristina," Mr. Emerson smiled pitifully.

   Kristina grunted. "What's my punishment?"

  Their teacher smiled mischievously and held Daniel's shoulder. "The winning team's captain has the right to make the losing team's captain his slave for a day."

    "SLAVE?!" everybody explained.

    "Are you s-serious?! Me?! His slave?!"

    "Dude," Sean's face turned red. "That sounded so wrong."

   

  Mr. Emerson jokingly punched Sean's shoulder and laughed. "I didn't mean what you were thinking. So, basically, Daniel can order Kristina around for one whole day."

     "What if I don't want to listen to him?" she asked, looking tough.

     "Then he'll punish you. It's up to him how he will though," Mr. Emerson started to look worried. "But that's alright, you two are engaged, so I guess this will strengthen your relationship with each other."

  Kristina's mouth hang open. She glared at Daniel who was standing beside their teacher with his doe-like eyes blinking slow. He silently chuckled and made an evil grin. Anybody could tell, he had something in mind. "W-What was that smug look?" Kristina thought to herself, getting worried.

     "Man, you're so lucky Daniel!" all the boys congratulated and praised him. "Say, why don't you make her wear a leash?"

     "Kristina we envy you sooo much!!!" the girls all shrieked too. "Aaah! Switch places with us!!!"

     "Gee, if that was allowed, I would've already alright?!" she barked.

     "Aaah..." the girls floated and giggled to their selves. "I wanna be punished by Daniel."

     "Kyaa!" Amanda slapped Nikki's back. "Pervert!"

    "Idiots," Kristina muttered to herself.

 Daniel finally freed himself from the swarm of boys. He folded his arms and gave Kristina an evil smirk. "Mr. Emerson?"

  Their teacher nodded and he blew his whistle. "Let the punishment game, begin."
