While Jansaint finished up with his barking dog impersonation,  The class once more settled down and Yuki continued to mope.  

~ Ha man, I can’t believe he really did it! ~

~ That guy is sad! ~

“O.K, that’s three points for Jansaint for successfully completing his dare.”  Mr. Russel finally announced.  He then retrieved three tokens from his desk drawer, like they had been prepared beforehand, and held them out.  The intention was clear, Jansaint was to go and fetch them.

Jansaint practically skipped down the aisle to fetch his reward, but by the spring in his step, it was clear he had already earned his reward and this was just a bonus to him.  

When he was once more seated, Mr. Russel proposed: “Alright Jansaint, after that inspired performance of yours, how about you go next?”

Jansaint practically jumped up from his seat filled with jubilation and quickly scanned the classroom.

He didn’t hesitate for even a moment, “Chym Li.  Truth or dare!”

Chym Li answered back in a rather bored tone, “Dare”.

She was what one would call a goth.  Deep red eyes, with smooth and long black hair tied into two loose fitting ponytails on either side.  Her hair was unusually voluminous for hair that straight.  She had a cute round face with a healthy natural blush that contrasted nicely against her pale skin.

She did not wear much makeup, but the rest of her style choice was certainly goth enough.  With fishnet stockings, a short black leather skirt and a short-sleeve black top with rings of sparkly sequins lining it, that was crested with a blood red bow.  The black silk gloves she wore added just a hint of sophistication.

Right now however, the thing you noticed most about her was how utterly bored she looked.

She only remained bored until Jansaint announced his dare though: “I dare you to show us your boobs!”

“Huuuugh!”  The once bored goth exclaimed in utter disbelief.  The look of ‘what the fuck’ quickly morphed into an intense scowl of disgust: “Just go die asshole!”

Of course with such an outrageous request and equally fierce rebuttal the classroom was once more raised to a state of disorderly discourse.

~ Oh man, what an idiot! ~

~ Unbelievable, this guy! ~

~ At least he’s honest! ~

~ A bit too honest! ~

Mr. Russel took that as a sign of resignation, “Okay, so Chym Li has failed the challenge, she has to give one of her points over to Jansaint.”

“Huh?  Why must I hand my points over to this prick?”

“You failed the dare, those are the rules.”  Russels response was hard and left no room for dissent.

“You know, you could always just do the dare”, Jansaint commented offhandedly, but coming from him it sounded more like he was pleading.

“I’ll even give you my two tokens if you do!”  He totally was pleading!

“Seriously!  Just go die already!”  A furious Chym Li suddenly threw a token at him, but she was no pitcher and Jansaint simply caught the token mid-air.  He did however wear an expression like somebody had murdered his favourite puppy.

Jansaint turned around to face the person sitting behind him, Eli.  “Man, these girls are so stubborn!”

Eli’s rebuttal was instantaneous, “Dude.  I don’t know you.”  With the dead-pan expression he wore, pretty much anybody would have believed him.  Eli was dead set on ignoring the fools attempts to find support with his friend.

“I’m hurt!”  Jansaint just put a hand on his chest and feigned mock hurt with a pained expression.

Eli simply sighs, “Somehow, I suspect, that you’ll get over it.”

“O.K, so who’s next?”  Russel ignored the boy’s antics and continued, “Tyger, why don’t you go?”

“O.K”  Tyger responds.

Tyger Dixon was a bit of a cool cat.  His mostly monochromatic attire and hair, brought out his emerald green eyes that were peeking out between his bandana and beanie.  Despite his sharp features and striking eye color, his face still held a ‘chill’ impression.  

Tyger folded his arms across his black t-shirt that was sticking out from underneath his grey sporty jacket.  “Kayoko, truth or dare?”

Kayoko responded, “Dare please”.  

Pretty much everyone present would have guessed that Kayoko Nikki would have taken a dare.  She was just a playful kind of girl.  Although playful might be selling it a bit short.  

Both her hair and her outfit today were polarising.  As in the literal sense.  Her hair was completely black on the one side, while the other half of her head had been dyed shades of blue and pink!  She had golden tinted irises and her face was mildly chubby with a small nose, in that cute pouty kind of way.

Her wardrobe on the other hand was no less extreme.  She wore a china-dress / sweater / one-piece dress - actually what even was that thing?  It seemed likely she had sewed it herself, otherwise how else did such attire even exist in this world.  Regardless, the left side of it was sky blue and the right side was a sharp coral pink.  The short dress itself had various diamond patterns on it and the sleeves were way too long and wide.  

Kayoko also wore a cloth bandana around her right arm and even her socks were intentionally mismatched colors.

No matter how you looked at it, she was what they called a ‘chuuni’.  Despite this she was one of those girls that everybody liked, someone who naturally drew people to her with her bright and welcoming personality.

“Kayoko, I dare you to balance a pencil on your nose for a full minute!”  Tyger responded with a gleeful smile.

“Kay!”  She immediately grabbed a pencil off her desk and set about balancing it precariously on the bridge of her nose while looking up.  

She was doing well, keeping the pencil really steady even after she took her hands away.  For some reason however she was humming an almost electrical buzzing kind of sound while squinting at the pencil, as if going cross-eyed to focus on the pencil would somehow help it balance.

“30 seconds”, one of the students cried out.

At this point, Kayoko had suddenly put her hands together with certain fingers interlocking in some kind of pattern or symbol, before announcing: “Hah!  My chakra control is at the level of the legendary Sanin!  This is truly the way of the ninja!”

This earned her several small outbursts of laughter from the classroom as she enjoyed the spotlight and her not so private chuuni moment.

~ She’s a legend! ~

~ That’s our Kayoko! ~

“And that’s one minute!”  Mr. Russel suddenly called out.  “Kayoko has completed the dare and earned herself three points.”

Kayoko puts down the pencil and jumping into the aisle, strikes a pose.  With her legs spread out and her hips sticking out to the side, she uses her fingers to show two ‘peace’ symbols over her face, in front of her eyes.  After which she happily skips down the aisle and retrieves her three tokens.

“Alright, next we will do Jovin Rockefeller.”

Jovin looks around in a lazy manner and chooses Angela.  “Truth or dare?”  He’s still resting his head on one of his arms even as he asks her.

“Truth”  Angela responds.

Angela Collins, was the literal school idol.  Every guy wanted to sleep with her and every girl wanted to be her.  Wherever she went she caused a stir, and people, mostly socialites vying for a spot on the social ladder, flocked to her.  She had a gentle personality and always seemed to care for others.

She wore a stylish yet girlish off-pink tracksuit drawstring top that was ever so faintly decorated with cherry patterns.  Her petite body and face simply screamed huggability.  Angela’s cute face was decorated by bright clear blue eyes and framed by twin pigtails of long brown hair that swished about as she talked.

She was what most people would call cute and innocent.  So you can imagine what happens when Jovin asks his question to such an ‘innocent’ and ‘protected’ creature…

“What color panties are you wearing?”

There was a moment of silence in the class as if nobody could understand what had just been asked, perhaps the idea so outlandish.  No.  He could not have asked the innocent and revered school idol something like that right?  Not with such a nonchalant and uncaring tone, right?  Did we mishear?

“Pink”  Angela wasted no time answering and with a sweet and innocent tone.  Like she was answering a question about the weather.

“Wait- Don’t answer that!”  Kurosawa Aya practically leapt over her desk to try and put a hand across Angela’s mouth and keep her from naively blurting out such embarrassing and personal information.  But it had already been done.

“Oops”  Angela simply responded with a cute smile and innocent expression, only now having realised her mistake.

“You shouldn’t answer a question like that so easily!”  Kurosawa rebukes Angela in a soft hearted manner, letting out a sigh as if to say ‘what’s done is done’.

The classroom was a mix of mild laughter and chatter at the antics of their fellow students.

~ I can’t believe she actually answered ~

~ So it was pink ~

~ How can a girl even say something like that ~

~ Boys are the worst ~

Neye was simply glaring a hole into Jovin wondering, ‘Why are all the boys in our class such a bunch of perverted fools!’

“Alright, let’s move this along.”  Mr Russel looked around for his next player, after giving Angela her two points.  “Eli, you can go next.”

Eli An-Jin  stood up.  He was a bit on the short side and with a small frame.  Combined with his unassuming black denims and grey hoodie that was almost always covering his head and part of his face, Eli was someone that generally had little to no presence.  Despite his purple hair, he simply did not stand out in any way.

Eli asked his one and only friend in class, “Jansaint”

“Truth or dare?”

“Dare!”  Jansaint responded in his usual enthusiastic manner.

“I dare you to give me your two tokens!”

There was a moment of silent realisation, before several of his classmates burst into laughter.

~ What the heck is that? ~

~ Why didn’t I think of that? ~

Jansaint simply smiled and responded, “I know we’re friends man, but why would I accept that dare?”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

Jansaint just looked at him, puzzled.

Eli sighed, this guy might be my friend, but he’s not the brightest crayon in the box, that’s for sure’

“Dude, if you don’t give me two tokens, you will in any case end up having to give me one for failing the dare.  However if you do, the teacher will give you three new tokens for completing the dare.  It’s losing one token versus gaining one token.  Win, win”

“Ooooooh!  Now I get it!”

“Let me stop you there”, Mr. Russel suddenly interjected.  “That’s a bit of an obvious loophole and is basically forcing someone to give you their tokens.  I am going to consider such a dare an attempt at stealing, in a loose sense.  So we will not be allowing dares like that.  You can give another dare though.”

“Fine.  How about this then, Jansaint, I dare you to touch your ear with your elbow.”

“Haha.  Why would you give me such an easy one?”  

Jansaint then proceeded to pull his arm and elbow back and try to touch his ear.  Of course no matter how much he struggled, he could not do it.  Towards the end of the attempt he was panting from exhaustion and making groaning sounds.  Half the class had already started laughing from his antics.  

Yuki just rolled her eyes at the clown, doesn’t the idiot know most human beings can’t touch their ear with their elbow?  Actually no-one’s even mentioned it, I guess none of them know.

Eventually Jansaint gave up and had to hand over a point to Eli.
