Chapter 22

Randy's POV **Time skip to the bonfire**

Finally. The bonfire. We've changed into our outfits are backstage stage, getting ready to go on stage.

"Please welcome our band for the night! 30 seconds to math!" Heidi yells.

We walk up on stage and everyone's clapping.

We start playing. Mostly pop songs, and rock.

And I think everyone likes us. I guess we're not faceless freshman anymore.

Some people are dancing, others sitting by the fire, and some are just standing by the food table eating.

We play for about two hours. My hands literally feel like their falling off. Hey, I guess it's better than the sorcerer ruling the world. Right?

And it's finally our 15 minute break. It's also the time when Heidi will announce the cutest couple.

Howard's at the food table, obviously.

I just got a couple chips and some root beer. So right now Randy and I are sitting by the fire.

We can hear people talking about us. Our band. All of things I'm hearing are good!

"So how do you like the band this year? I think it's pretty Bruce."

"The singers really good."

"30 seconds to math is the cheese!"

Those are only samples of comments I'm hearing. They're all good.

"Alright my peeps! Are there any last minute votes for the cutest couple?" Heidi asks.

About ten people fall in a line to vote. Including Ran, Howard and I.

"Who are you voting for?" I ask Howard.

"You and Ran." He says.

"Really Howard?" Ran asks.

"Well I'm voting for you and Debbie." I say.

"Same. Here." Ran says.

"But guys!" Howard whines.

"Too bad Howard." I say.

When everyone's done voting Heidi goes to count the votes and it takes about fifteen minutes to do so.

When she comes back out, she has a golden envelope.

"These, are the two lucky lovers that are going to win cutest couple." She says.

It better be Howard and Debbie. I'm gonna laugh. Come Heidi. Come on.

"The red ninja and the blue ninja!" She says.

Me and Ran are just looking at each other in shock.

Ran's POV

Of course it had to be me and Randy.

I mean it's not us, it's the two ninjas. But whatever, same thing.

Without anyone watching, we sneak off into the bushes and put our masks on.

"Smoke bomb!" We yell and appear onstage.

"So, we won..." I say.

"You sure did!" Heidi says.

Then she hands me a golden tiara, and Randy a golden crown.

"Thanks a lot Heidi." Randy says.

"Oh don't thank me, thank the school!" She says.

"Well thank-you students!" Randy says.

Everyone's cheering and shouting your welcome.

"Would you care to do a speech?" Heidi asks.

"Speech! Speech! Speech!" The whole audience yells.

"Alright." I say.

"When your first come to school, high-school to more precise, your nervous. Not nervous. Real nervous." Randy says.

"You don't know if your going to fit in. Or not. But one things for sure. Your going to get bullied. Or be a bully." I say.

"Bash Johnson, is one of those bullies. I don't know why. He has a loving mom. And his step-dads a billionaire. I mean I get he's strong but why does he have to bully people? Why do all the seniors have to bully people? I get that they're older. But so? Age is just a number." Randy says.

"Your strengths shouldn't be defined by your age. They should be defined by your personality." I say.

"When your a freshman, your shy. Timid. All you need to get you away from that. Is someone else. Someone...special." Randy says.

"I'm not saying you have to date anyone, I'm saying that you'll need a friend. A real friend. Someone that will support you through thick and thin. And when they're being bullied, stand up for them." I say.

"Be your own hero. The truth is, you don't need ninjas to solve all your problems. All you need is a little self confidence, and maybe a friend." Randy says.

What would be a good way to end this? Fireworks. But how?

"Randy? After I through smoke bombs into the air, use Tengu Fire ball." I whisper.

"You got it." He whispers back.

I through five smoke bombs into the air and Randy shoots fireballs at them. It worked. They all explode into multiple coloured fireworks. Weird. I thought it would only do blue.

We kiss and then after about five seconds, drop smoke bombs.

We're behind a tree taking our masks off. After we run back to Howard.

"That was a great speech! A little cheesy. But great." He says.

"Howard? Was that a complement?" I ask.

"Don't get used to it Norisu." He says.

"Oh I won't." I say.

I use telekinesis to pull up his pants. And give him a wedgie.

"Ran, don't." Howard whines.

"Get used to it." I say.

"Ran..." Randy says.

"What?" I say.

"We left our Nomicon's back in the sewer." Randy says.

"We did." I say.

So we sprint back to get them, and for the rest of the night? We play.

I honestly don't know what I'm going to after this. Since the sorcerers defeated, I'll have more free time.

Maybe I can think about what I want to be when I grow up. Because I honestly don't. I don't know my own destiny.

Well I'll just have to find out...sooner or later.
