Allright, since yesterday was monday and OneManArmy77 does his Monday Musing on that day, I decided to put my submission here, too! Hope y'all enjoy this. It's nothing too major, but I liked the idea behind it, so yeah... Some commedy never hurt, right?
Prompt n.1
Hanako took a long look at the strange board before looking back up at Hisao. “W-what is this?” Hisao let loose a small chuckle before explaining that they were going to play a game of Risk today. A light rap on the door followed by a pink haired rhino trampling into the room signified that their guests had arrived. Shizune adjusted her glasses before showing that glint in her eye that screamed she wasn’t taking prisoners today.

I'm still surprised at how the Student Council managed to put us in this situation. When I first started attending Yamaku, I hoped that I was done with playing Risik with Shizune, but apparently I was dead wrong.
Still, I suppose the current situation could be worse, given the options that the two offered to us.
For those ignorant about what lead us to this mess, let me explain.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yamaku, Class 3-3, 7:50am
It has been 3 months since the events between me and Hanako in the park, in the town under Yamaku. Since then things have been going very smoothly, with both of using making progress in our relationship and enjoying each other's presence. Autumn already overtook the warmth of Summer, leaving us with colder, and rainier days.
Not that I mind it too much, since rain makes of the perfect ambient sound. As for Hanako, well let's say that she likes the colors that the forest tends to decorate itself with during this period.
Talking about periods, I enter class ten minutes before the bell rings, leaving me plenty of time to prepare myself for the lesson and to spend a couple of minutes with my girlfriend. She's sitting in her seat, as always immersed in a novel, oblivious of her surroundings.
This makes it easy for me to give her a little scare, since today I'm in a good mood, especially because of what happened last night. Long story short, Hanako came to my room after being scared of the thunder and lightning. What happened next is pretty obvious.
Anyway, as I approach Hanako, trying to make her scared, I'm interrupted by Shizune and her pink tail. The two don't seem very happy... Oh no, don't tell m-
"Tsk, tsk tsk, Hicchan! You naughty boy, you should be of good example to Hana-chan! What is it Shicchan? Oh, yeah! Shicchan says that you're in big, big trouble, that you're irresponsible and that... what was it? Oh! That you better come up with a good excuse, if you wish to avoid any trouble."
What is it that I should say right now? I mean, I don't have a good excuse, plus Shizune seems to look like Diablo. This might be a mistake, but maybe being honest is the best way out of this... After all, she is human too, right?
"Look, please tell me you haven't told anyone about this..."
"Whahaha~! Don't worry Hicchan, we kept our mouths shut... for now!"
Well this is definitely something. Maybe my reputation in Yamaku isn't screwed yet.
"That's good, thanks.", is what I say as I rub my neck with my hand, trying to formulate something in this situation. I suppose I'm alone right now, since Hanako is too ashamed to talk right now. "Listen, I know we made a mistake, but we're teenagers, what do you expect of us? Plus, is not like you didn't make any mistakes, right?"
No change of expressions, this is bad.
"I... Ehmm... I have a proposition for you!"
Their faces are immediately decorated by an interested expression, as I utter those words.
"You don't tell anyone about this, and we... will accept any game that Shizune wants to play!"
It's not much, I know, but using Shizune's passion for table games right now might be what could save us. Behind me, Hanako assumes a shocked expression, apparently surprised by my proposition and not looking forward to the possible experience. The fact that it might happen seems to cheer her up a bit, but she perfectly knows that hell could break loose any day now.
Misha and our Class Rep seem to give it a nice thought, making me feel a bit of pride, but also terror at what she could offer. After a solid minute filled with signs from the two, the pink-haired girl answers.
"Ok! See you at the Student Council Room when classes are over!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hanako is still agitated at the idea to spend an entire evening with Shizune. I can't blame her, regardless of how much she has improved, dealing with her is still a big obstacle.
As the pair enters the room, Hanako makes sure to whisper something to me before they can hear anything. "A-After this, no meetings for a month, m-mister." I guess it could be worse, right?
"Good, you're here! Whaha~, I was thinking that you wouldn't come!"
"Wait, why are you only mentioning me?"
"No good reason Hicchan... No wait, oh right! It's because Hana-chan is too kind to propose such a thing!"
Oh, you don't even know...
"... Whatever, let's start this. Misha, you're playing?"
"Yup yup! You'll see, I'll leave you no escape! Wait, what Shicchan? WOW, that's cold..."
2 hours later
I still can't believe it, Hanako managed to win this! We're all baffled, no one in this room thought that she could be so good at this, and it's her first time! The look on her face is priceless, joy mixed with pride and wonder. That expression cheers me up, making me almost forget the fact that I got eliminated first.
As we're about to leave, the two girls call after us. Oh no, I have a bad feeling about this...
"Whahahahaha~! Don't you think this is over! We still have to play Monopoly! Wahahahaha~!"
Fuck.
