And nothing drives Onozuka up the wall more than a perfect Iwaki! ~_^
The rest of you boys all need to be swatted, hard. Boy is it fun watching you all squirm. (I think my favorite line may be Onozuka's "Hmm...maybe Katou was smarter than he looked, after all.")
Haha, they definitely do need to be swatted! I even wanted to swat Onozuka a few times while I was writing this, much as I adore him. It's interesting that you singled out that line about Katou, since I was just thinking that Onozuka probably underestimates everyone except Onozuka. (And maybe overestimates his own cleverness a bit.) Which in turn made me remember something that Red said once, that even though she loves my stories, she doesn't like Onozuka as a person very much.
Anyway, glad you liked it, and it was fun writing about the incident from the different characters' POVs, so I'm glad that worked for you.
