Good news: I've updated. Bad news: not the story everybody wants. Since I began writing these one-shots, I'm finding it easier to make my lazy butt start trying to update Twisted, a story that I very much love and adore but goodness it makes me want to rip my hair out.

On another note, I have quite a lot of ideas for these one-shots but if anybody wants to throw in their two cents, I'd be all for it. It just has to be within a reasonable time-limit (like Minori cannot be a teenager because there's really no struggle there unless you count teen angst.) Anyways, give me your plot-bunnies and I'll dedicate the chapter to you!
I don't own Maid-sama

And I apologize in advance for spelling errors.

Chapter 3: Class

"Now, it is important to remember Latin verbs have four main standards of conjunctions." The professor droned on in a monotone voice. The lecture hall, filled to the brim with either crusty-eyed students who spotted the 'I-just-rolled-out-of-bed' get up to the dedicated pupils that currently wrote down the mans speech word-for-word.

Two of those students, whoever, were not focusing on their teacher.

"Misa, Dear, that's a pluperfect not a future perfect." Takumi whispered to Misaki, bending over so he wouldn't get caught by the professor. Not that he minded much, considering he had well enough grades to slack off for the rest of the class year.

The two sat huddled together near the back of the massive room, multiple layers of notebooks and Latin language textbooks scattered across their table.

Shooting him a confused glance, Misaki quickly erased the answer, her eyes narrowing in thought as she gripped her pencil tight.

"Just take a glance at my sheet," the blond mumbled out as he slid his paper towards his girlfriend. "See how it's indicitive active? You're writing 'we' as indicitve passive, it won't make sense that way."

She nodded absentmindedly while reading through his work, realizing her mistake just two seconds into his small explanation.

"So, that means-"

"Ayuzawa-san, is my lesson boring you?" The professor's voice boomed out through the room, startling each and every student. Snapping her neck up to face her instructor, Misaki bit back a retort before shaking her head.

"No, Sensei. I apolog-"

Closing his weary eyes and raising the palm of his hand in her direction, the professor interrupted the brunette. "You will apologize by writing a four page essay on today's lesson. Due tomorrow morning." He cast her one last dry look before turning back towards the enormous white board.

Stifling a groan at the workload she was due to have, the hazel eyed girl tossed a glare towards her companion, getting little satisfaction when noticing his guilty expression.

"Misa-"

"Shh!" She hissed at Takumi, her pencil scribbling across the pad of paper as she listened intently to her mentor's words.

She worked hard to get into this college, especially when she became pregnant with Minori. It only grew worse after her daughter was born but she would never change her past if she had the chance. Minori was her life considering her mother and little sister practically

shunned her after hearing about her unplanned pregnancy.

She had Takumi and Minori now, which was more than okay for the young brunette.

Becoming too lost in her thoughts, Misaki nearly yelped in surprise when seeing a scrap of rolled-up paper slide onto her desk, courtesy of Takumi.

Shifting her body so that she was facing him more, Misaki unraveled the crumpled up sheet in confusion.

'I'm Sorry,' the words displayed in perfect penmanship. Rolling her eyes in mock aggravation, Misaki flickered her eyes towards a pouting Takumi.

"Idiot," she muttered before rolling the paper into a ball once more and chucking it at the now-grinning blond's head.

She could never stay mad at that man…

"Takumi! Um excuse me, Takumi?" A sweet voice called out, halting the pair who were walking through the campus.

Turning around, both Misaki and Takumi noticed a slim blonde make her way towards them, a beaming smile aimed at the emerald eye student.

"Kaon," Takumi nodded in acknowledgment, his eyes turning a shade dull as he began tapping his foot.

"Look, look!" Kaon gushed out as she held up a small stack of papers. "I got a perfect score, just like you said I would!"

Not recalling his exact words (or even conversation for that matter) to his classmate, Takumi offered her a timid smile in hope of ending their brief exchange. "Nice work."

"Thank you, Takumi! That means so much coming from you," Kaon blushed, "considering you're one of the top second years in this school." Tapping her index finger against her rosy lips, Kaon paused for a moment, "you know what? I'd say you're the smartest student throughout this building."

Not knowing what else to say, Takumi only nodded in silent appreciation. Misaki, who was standing next to the tall blond, quickly check her watch when realizing her strained time limit. Having to get to the library before her next class, which was close to a half hour, the brunette hiked her bookbag over her shoulder in a more comfortable position before backing up a few steps.

"Sorry but, Takumi," she jutted her thumb out in the opposite direction, "I have to get going. One of the books I requested came in today so…" She trailed off, her eyes switching from both a annoyed Kaon to a wide-eyed Takumi.

"Oh, well I'll just come with you. I need to go to the lib-"

"Hey, Takumi?" The short-haired girl interjected, stepping in between the couple, "do you think you could help me on my next test? You understand so much and I'm just like so confused and since we're in the same class, do you think you could tutor me right now?" Placing both hands on his forearm, Kaon blinked heavily with a lopsided smile.

"Sorry," Takumi drawled out, closing his eyes as he shrugged away from her touch, "I have to-"

A soft cry from a good distance away brought the blond to a halt, his eyebrows quirking in confusion.

"What is that?!" Kaon exclaimed through a disgusted sneer. Ignoring her all together, Takumi turned toward a befuddled Misaki while tilting his head.

"Is that a baby?" Misaki spoke up, "at school."

"So you hear that too?" Takumi retorted as the two began searching the large grassy area. "But who would-"

"Oh my god!" Misaki breathed out in a rush as she spotted none other than a crying Minori in the arms of one of her best friends.

"I'm so, so, so, so, sorry guys!" Sakura blubbered out in a frenzy, "she wouldn't stop crying and at first thought she was hungry but then she wouldn't eat and I started freaking out and-"

"Sakura," Misaki soothed out, noticing the deranged state the pink-haired girl was in, "it's fine. Calm down, okay?"

Nodding at her words, Sakura took a deep breath before slowly exhaling, her pastel-color eyes relaxing after a few moments. "Sorry, sorry."

Easing out a slow smile, Misaki turned towards a quiet Minori, who was being coddled by Takumi. The blond teenager rubbed the three-year olds back as he rocked her from side to side, feeling his little girl hiccup every couple of seconds.

Taking another fast glance at her wristwatch and realizing how late she was to her lecture, Misaki sighed in defeat as she began to stand from the picnic table.

"Well my class is already half-way over," she shot Sakura a reassuring glance when noticing her friend begin to panic once more, "and since I have no more after this, I'll just take Minori home." She began reaching for her child, only to be stopped in her tracks when seeing Takumi stand up as well.

"I'll head home with you guys too," he declared as he began grabbing his bookbag. Combing his fingers through a now relaxed Minori's hair, the college student grabbed ahold of Misaki's hand.

"Wait, no you still have class and-"

"I don't need to go to them," Takumi shrugged one shoulder, "I have well enough grades to pass for the rest of the year."

Holding back a snort, mainly on how unfair it was for him to be so smart, Misaki shook her head as she once more reached for Minori.

"Stay here, Takumi, you don't want any bad marks on your attendance. You get in trouble enough for being late to class everyday because you walk me to my own." Just as she made skin-contact with her child, Misaki was forced to hold down a startled squeak as she was suddenly pulled into the broad chest of her boyfriend.

"Are you saying," Takumi leaned down until he was but an inch from her face, "you're worried about me, my Misa?"

Gaping like a fish due to a loss of words, Misaki composed herself in record time before she tried shoving her way out of his grip.

"I, uh-"

"Mama is sick?" Minori pipped up, her dainty fingers reaching out grab a fistful of her mother's hair. Noticing the changing of her mothers face due to embarrassment, though unbeknownst to Minori, the blonde's face clouded in worry.

"No, Sweetie, I-"

"Huh, I think you're right, Minori." Takumi patted the top of the toddlers head in praising as he held down a smirk, for the benefit of his daughter.

Placing both hands over her reddened cheeks, Misaki stifled a growl as Takumi tilted his head to the side, his expression set in one of victory.

"A-Are you sure," Sakura, who was silent during the whole ordeal, spoke up as she twined her fingers together with worry. "I feel bad, I should have taken care of her more."

"Sakura as I said this multiple times before, it's completely fine." The hazel-eyed girl hushed out.

"Come on," Takumi called before tugging on Misaki's hand as he began leading her toward the parking lot. After saying goodbye to Sakura, the two young parents neared their car.

"You shouldn't be doing this, you know." Misaki spoke as she watched her boyfriend buckle their daughter into her carseat. Turning to give her a confused glance, Takumi shut the back door as he once more faced his beloved. "You're grades are important, you should take college more seriously."

"I do, Misa." Takumi stated as he stepped closer. Wrapping both arms around her slim waist, the blond leaned his head in the crook of her neck, inhaling her sweet scent. "I take my future seriously because I want to provide for you and Minori. I want to see my daughter grow up in a safe environment."

"I can take care of myself, Takumi." Misaki argued back in a low voice. Running a hand through his spiky locks, the young girl felt her walls come crumbling down as she gave him a sweet peck near his temple.

"I know."

The two stayed like that for what seemed like hours, basking in each other's presence. Had Misaki known she would ever be in this position four years ago would be a laughable thought. She never cared for men, downright despised them after what her father did. However, during her first year in highschool, Takumi came trapezing through her life and she found herself becoming comfortable around him, little by little.

In the end, she became too comfortable, resulting in her taking on the role of a mother at such a young age. Had Takumi not stuck by her side through both the thick and thin, the brunette would have lost all respect towards the opposite sex.

Thankfully that wasn't the case as the pair continued to take advantage of the quietness, a rarity they no longer possessed since caring for their daughter.

"Papa! Papa, Papa, Papa!" The yelling of an impatient Minori shattered the couples moment, causing the two to pull apart from each other with matching startled expressions.

Stifling a slight sigh, Misaki shrugged one shoulder up as she walked around the car to open the passenger door. "Well, duty calls."

"Her name is Minori, my dear." Takumi spoke up as he slid behind the steering wheel. Shooting her a cheeky smile, the college student chuckled when when noticing her take on a deadpanned look.

Rolling her eyes in mock aggravation, Misaki crossed her arms as the car pulled onto the main street, "stick to becoming a doctor, would you."

Please note I used formalities with the teacher because it would be considered rude not to. I find it hard to believe a college student (as well as professor) would speak so casually. That is usually the only time I use formalities.

Not a whole lot of Minori (sorry) but I really wanted to show Misa and Takumi's relationship. Next time, however, I'll most certainly include her.

Also note that these one-shots are in no particular order. It's the same story-line, but scattered around in different chapters.
