The Warlock's Queen

Chapter 29: Top Student Vs. Pizza Addict

"If only I could use my geass on you, I wouldn't have to worry about you getting discovered," Lelouch thought as he stares at C.C who is now stuck at the arms of the president.

After a while, three more pairs arrived which signifies the ending of the competition.

"Alright!!!! Now that we have the five pairs who will go against each other to win the prize, their first challenge is to carry their pair on their back and run one lap around the oval. The first three pairs will proceed to the next stage."

Everyone applauded as they watch the competitors getting ready.

Shirley ,who is now being carried by Lelouch, is getting worried since she knew that Lelouch isn't good at physical activities.

"Should we back out?" she asks but Lelouch is unusually motivated so he declined.

"We made it here so we must finish it," he replies which made the orange-haired girl blush.

On the other hand, C.C is relaxed since her pair is one of the excellent athletic member of the school. Plus, she isn't that heavy to carry.

"We must win," she says in a rather loud voice which made Shirley and Lelouch look her way.

"Of course," agreed Chad, her pair.

"She seems to be motivated," Shirley says with a smile.

"Of course she is, she's a pizza addict," Lelouch whispers to himself.

"Were you saying something?" asks Shirley but Lelouch simply shakes his head.

When the signal is fired, C.C and her pair immediately speeds up making them the leading team. Lelouch is trying his hardest to run as fast as he could plus, he's also trying his best not to let Shirley fall down. Luckily, they were able to get the third place while C.C and her pair got first place.

"And for the final stage!!!!!!!" Milly yelled out. "Since all of you are tired, the challenge would be a swimming contest. The first pair who will finish is ,of course, the winner. Now, all of you, go to the locker room and get changed."

After 10 minutes, the competition started.

"Okay, the first lane would be for the boys and the second lane would be for the girls. Now, on your mark. Get. Set. GO!!!"

The swimming started wherein the pair of C.C being at the second lead and Lelouch behind him. C.C glared at her pair for not being on the lead. While swimming, Jan, C.C's pair, felt chills run down his spine. With that sudden feeling, he knew he needed to swim faster. Now, the crowd is going wild since Jan and Lelouch, unexpectedly, are both on the lead. The two, at the same time, held the hand of their partners as a sign of finishing their lane.

C.C and Shirley dive in at the same time as well. The crowd get even wilder as they cheer for the two. Lelouch notices that the two are desperate in winning and what amazed him was how good C.C is. He didn't expect her to be good in swimming.

"Well, she'll do anything to eat the pizza," he whispers to himself.

"Do you know her?" asks Jan. "My pair, I mean. She's kind of scary despite having a calm and beautiful face."

"Seems like it," was the only thing Lelouch could say.

C.C felt her foot cramped but still tried to swim since the competition is almost finished. But, unfortunately, she could no longer move due to pain.

"Damn it," she curses underwater as she starts to sink. Shirley finishes the competition and everyone applauded.

"Just as expected with a great swimmer."

"Way to go Shirley!!!"

While Thanking her supporters, Shirley notices that C.C isn't coming up yet. She looked at the pool and sees the green-haired girl drowning. She immediately dives in and brings C.C out of the water.

"Thanks," was the only word that came out from C.C's mouth.

"I'll take her to the infirmary," Jan volunteers but before he could go near his partner, someone already carried her.

"Shirley, receive your reward. I will take this to the infirmary," Lelouch says as he puts a towel around the immortal witch.

"O-okay," Shirley stammered. While Shirley is being rewarded, Lelouch and C.C is in the infirmary and just as usual, the nurse is absent.

"You shouldn't have joined," Lelouch says while staring at the witch massaging her cramped foot.

A long silence cover the two and just then, Lelouch notices that C.C is in a bad mood.

"It's just a pizza---"

Before he could finish his sentence, a fist landed on his face, knocking him down on the floor.

"It's not just a pizza," C.C replies. "It's the biggest pizza."

Holding his right cheek, Lelouch sits beside her. Suddenly, C.C acts in a different way which shocked Lelouch.

"I'm sorry I took out my anger on you," she says as she caresses his cheek.

Lelouch is fighting with himself whether C.C is being sincere or is it one of her pranks. He is in a state of shock, which is unusual for him. His cheeks turns pink when C.C leans her forehead on his.

When he heard the word pizza from the gymnasium, he snaps out from his state.

"I'll give you my share of the biggest pizza," he says, hoping that C.C would take a step backward.

C.C smirks and pinches his cheeks on both sides.

"That's my boy," she says happily. "At last, the biggest pizza will be eaten by me."

C.C slowly stands up and drags Lelouch out of the infirmary.

"Just as I thought, she did that for the sake of eating the pizza," Lelouch thought. "I shouldn't have doubted before."

Upon reaching the empty gymnasium where the pizza is laid, C.C jumps for joy like a little kid.

"How's her foot?" Shirley asks Lelouch as she sits beside him.

"As you can she, she seems to be not injured at all," he replies as they watch the immortal witch eat the pizza.

"Hmmmmm.... they made it so wonderfully," C.C commented while licking her fingertips. "It's tasty."

"Ahahaha, she's cute," Shirley commented.

"You think so?" Lelouch questioned her. "You're cuter."

Shirley freezes upon hearing his crush compliment her. Her face turns red so she immediately covers her face with her hands.

"Is something wrong?" Lelouch asks, worried about Shirley.

"No," the girl replies while shaking her head. "I'm fine."

While gobbling her pizza, C.C snorted upon hearing Lelouch compliment Shirley.

"Such a playboy," she whispers to herself and continued eating. "Geez, this is so good. It's better than teasing that guy."
