"I'm telling you Anna, he's wonderful!" Came the star struck voice of Pirika. Anna merely looked at her as if saying 'What are you on?'
"Don't Give me that look Anna" Pirika said to retaliate.
Anna let out a sound something along the lines of "Hmfp"
"Anna, Pirika's right you should go see him sing." Tamao added. She to began to get a starry look in her eyes as well. Anna almost wanted to puke.
"Yeah Anna he really is good. I mean even though you still hate him from third grade-" Matti stopped talking as Anna gave her the 'never-bring-that-up-again' look. The orange haired girl rolled her eyes.
They where talking about Hao Asakura, A student and detention king at their school. He had been going down to a local club the last few nights to sing, and almost every girl in the school went. Anna of course refused to go. She didn't have very good feelings about Hao, well that would be an understatement.
She hated him since third grade when he stole her poem from her and read it to the entire class. That was her most embarrassing moment and even though third grade was 6 years ago she still held a grudge.
Anna ignored all three of them and walked into her first period class.Pirika sighed and put one hand on her hip and slapped her head in frustration with the other."This is going to be harder than we first thought" Tamao said.
Matti nodded. "But we'll get them together yet! Operation Get-Hao-And-Anna-Together will not fail!" she said with a burst of energy.
Unknown to the two of them, both Horo Horo and Ren where standing behind them with odd looks on their faces. "might not want to do that in the hallway babe, people will think your weirder than before." Ren said rolling his eyes at Matti's cheerfulness
Matti merely stuck out her tongue at the purple haired boy. "Oni-Chan we need you help getting Hao and Anna together." Pirika asked Horo.
Horo waved his hand in front of him "No way, Forget it. Remember what happened last time we tried to get them together?"
Tamao sighed. Boy did she remember. The last time they tried to get Hao and Anna together was in third grade.In there third grade brains they thought it was a good idea to tell Hao that Anna would like him if read one of her poems to the whole class. Well needless to say that didn't work.
"Oni-Chan! You've gotta help...Pwease..." Pirika gave him the puppy dog pout. And he just couldn't resist the puppy dog pout. With a Groan Horo Horo shook hi head.
"Fine we'll help." Ren stopped his arguing with Matti and sent Horo a skepical look. "We'll?"
"Oh yes if I'm stuck in this then so are you" Ren rolled his eyes but agreed to help.
"Okay so how are we gonna set this up?"
♥
For the rest of the day all Pirika could think of was how they were going to get Hao and Anna together.By fifth period she realized that she didn't have anything planned what so ever. The same went for Matti and Tamao. Neither of the girls had thought of a plan that Anna wouldn't suspect.
For they when if Anna caught them messing with her love life again she would kill them bring them back to life and kill them again.
Luckily for them Ren and Horo Horo decided to use their brains that day and came up with a plan. "Okay we told Hao that Anna had been asking about him all day" Ren stated in sheer boardom. Seriously, he didn't know why he was helping Hao or Anna.
Despite the fact that Ren and Hao were' friends' they had a deep rivalry since they were children. And he just couldn't stand Anna. Not after she tied him to a tree in fifth grade, for making fun of her hair cut. (courtesy of her cousin Mari...)Hey you would laugh too if the bully at your school now had shorter hair than a boy. But back to the story.
Matti Rolled her eyes at Ren truly that boy could be stubborn. Thinking back she was glad she told Anna that he made fun of her hair in fifth grade.
"Ignore him" Horo Horo said. "We told Hao that Anna wanted to see his show but couldn't get tickets, so he's going to give her one." Horo was very proud of his plan. It actually seemed like it would work.
"So when is he going to ask her?" Tamao asked in her quiet voice. Just then Anna waked out of her math class and began to walk to P.E. Out of no where Hao came yelling down the hall
"Kyouyama!"
"Duck!" Pirika said in a loud whisper. The entire group hid behind a corner, there heads sticking out of the sides so that they could watch the scene take place.
"Police...Stalker!"Anna yelled. Hao just laughed at her. She really didn't like being laughed at especially by him. The bell rang and everyone but them disappeared into their classes.
"Man that girl is uptight" Ren said out loud before Pirika elbowed him in the stomach. "Shut up or they'll hear us!"
"What do you want?"Anna glared at him, he just smiled as if to mock her.
'No, Anna don't be mean just try to be nice for once' Tamao begged in her mind. Anna was a very hard person to get close too. It wasn't a surprise with the way she acted. Anna was just shy on the inside, well at least that's what Tamao thought.
"I understand that your the only one who hasn't seen me sing, Am I correct?" Hao said his charming grin made Anna nervous.
"Yes you'd be right to say that... Why do you care?" She just glared at him in hopes that he would back down but that would never happen.
"Come one Hao get to the point..." Horo Horo whispered.
"Don't tell me your still upset about that poem of yours I read? How long ago was that, 5...6 years ago?"
'No! Don't bring up the poem! She'll claw your eyes out!' Matti wanted to throw something at Hao's head. If he kept this up Anna would never talk to him let alone date him.
As Matti predicted Anna almost lost her temper there. "Yes I'm still mad about that! That was a personal poem!" She was ready to slap him if he said anything else to bug her, but he surprised her.
Heck he surprised all of them.
♥
"When the rain fell, she'd listen as it cried. She'd listen to the crystal tears that fell from the sky. She wished that she could see the world, before life passed her by." He quoted almost in a whisper.
Anna looked positivily shocked. "Why did you memorize that?" she asked quietly.
"I always remember beautiful things..." he whispered in her ear. Anna blushed a crimson color.
Horo Horo laughed loudly, So loudly that both Hao and Anna looked behind them to see if anyone was there. Luckily the group of matchmakers ducked behind the corner in time. Pirika smacked him upside the head. "You moron! She whispered loudly "You could have gotten us caught!"
"I'm sorry!" he apologized as they all took their turn smacked him. "You'd better be" Ren mumbled looking back at Hao and Anna. Well where Hao and Anna used to be.
"Kuso! Now you've made us miss what happened!" Ren yelled.
"We'll find out later, I'll have Oni-Chan call you-" Pirika said looking at her watch with a worried face. "Right now we have to get to class, We're late!"
♥
Anna was silent as she walked home with her friends that day.
Of course Pirika and Tamao noticed she was acting strangely after last period. She seemed more on edge and slightly paranoid. "Hey Tamao does Anna seem a little off to you?" The blue haired girl whispered. Tamao shook her head to say yes.
"It's probably because of whatever Hao said... I hope he didn't screw it up like last time." Matti added
Tamao poked Anna on the shoulder to get her attention "um Anna-"
"What!" she yelled back breaking out of her chain of thoughts.
"Meep!" Tamao ran behind Pirika. Anna sighed to her self. Great now she was freaking out at her own friends.
"Anna in the world is wrong with you?' Matti asked, luckily she wasn't scared of Anna, well at least she wasn't as scared of her as Tamao was, but uh you get the point.
Anna opened her mouth to say something but Pirika cut in "And don't tell me 'Nothing' because we can tell your paranoid about something"
Anna glared at her but gave in slightly. "I've decided to go see The block head sing okay?" She began to walk ahead of the two before they could asked questions.
All three girls looked at each other and started jumping up and down. Screaming.
'He didn't mess it up! Yes!' Matti thought.
Anna looked at them like they where crazy. "What is wrong with you guys? A better question is why in the world do I hang out with you guys..." Anna answered her own question.
"No time to speak!" Tamao said pulling Anna to Pirika's house "Yeah we have to get you ready for your date!" Pirika added pushing her through the front door.
"Hey It's not a date!" Yelled above the three girls. Pirika Smirked. 'Oh yes it is Anna, you don't how long we've been planning it for you...'
♥
"It is not a date." Anna said stubbornly as Tamao and Pirika flocked around her. "Yes it is Anna" Pirika Said holding up a pink dress up for Anna to confirm or deny. She shook head at the dress.
"No it's not. This is Hao we're talking about why in the world would I go on a date with him?"
Tamao looked at Anna's hair and decided to put it up. "Anna you've kinda had a crush on him since third grade..." Matti said lightly. Come on she really needed to just admit it. Anna started to cough, and tried to catch her breath
"Yea right! Ewwww are you to crazy this is Hao, the biggest, idiot, detention getting, skirt chasing moron of all time! Why would I have a crush on him!" Anna had a look of pure disgust on her face.
Pirika laughed at Anna's outburst. "What ever you say Anna" she went back to choosing her outfit.
Anna crossed arms over her chest and began to mumble. "I do not like Hao...grrr.."
'Yes you do...' Tamao though but said nothing, and continued to fix Anna's Hair.
♥
It had token them almost 2 hours to find an outfit for her. But they finally settled on a black skirt and a dark red top with roses. Tamao had insisted she wear some stupid french hat.
All three girls watched as Anna walked down the street. Pirika decided to speak up. "Okay girls part two of plan get-Hao-and-Anna-together, is now complete!"
"Ummm... I'm not so sure about that..." Tamao said looking down at the carpet. Matti and Pirika gave her questionable looks.
"What do you mean 'You don't think so?'" Matti asked, The orange hair girl had given up her Saturday night ice cream splurge so that Anna would go on this date, there was no way in hell she was going to let it backfire.
Tamao suddenly found a great interest in her fingers. "Well umm... That's not the way to the club... and I thought that maybe she would just go home instead of going to see Hao..."
Pirika Looked like someone had slapped her across the face, Hard. Her eyes flared and began pacing the floor. "Oh no no no... Anna is going on this date! I demand she do so! I worked too hard at this. 6 years to be exact C'mon girls we're making sure she goes on this date!" Pirika Grabbed the two girls and pulled them toward the door.
"Hey! Where are we going?" Matti asked trying in vain to break Pirika's iron grip on her shirt. Tamao did the same.
"We're following her!"
♥
Three head popped out from behind the wall. Each spying on the blonde girl hat had just token her seat on a red velvet sofa.
"Pirika I don't think this is good Idea...Anna will be mad if she catches us." Tamao was very very nervous, She had seen Anna when she was upset, and it wasn't pretty. She didn't want he same fate to fall upon her.
But her comment went un heard as Pirika started to talk "Shhh he's coming on stage..."
"Thank you ladies, and guys who have been forced to come her by their girlfriend's..."
'Moron' They all knew that was what Anna was thinking at this very moment.
"But seriously I'd like to say something. I have a very important person in the audience tonight. If you could please turn your attention to the blond girl on the velvet sofa"
"Yes!" Pirika Whispered 'So my brother did warn Hao as too what happened! YES! They're going to get together! ' Pirika was quite proud of herself, And for once her brother...
Anna shook her head quickly as people looked at her and mumbled. Matti could let this opportunity pass. "MUST BE HIS GIRLFRIEND!" She yelled. Her partners in crime pulled her back behind the walk before Anna could figure out it was them.
"Matti, she's going to catch us!" Tamao whispered fiercely. Matti just laughed loudly, until Pirika stepped on her foot, hard.
"Shut up, He's singing..."
"If the choice was in my hands.
To give up everything everything I had once dreamed of. The goals of a thousand years The tears of a million defeats All of this for one person. Would I do it?"
With a sigh of Happiness, Pirika looked at her friends and head for the door, "Come on guys, let go back to Anna's place. We'll see how things turn out then. There's nothing more we can do..."
♥
"Awwww isn't that cute Tamao?" Pirika asked the pink haired girl looking out of the window at Hao and Anna kissing.
Tamao smiled in response. With her chin resting on her hand, She looked out the window at the new couple that was taking form in front of their very eyes. She thought they made such a cute match.
With a sigh Pirika got out of her seat and walked into the kitchen just a few feet away were Matti already was eating a Brownie. Grabbing a brownie of her own, she began to speak. "You know it's token them long enough to get together" she took a bit of the fudgey goodness. Matti finished for her "I mean they've liked each other for 6 years now."
Tamao giggled and joined them at the kitchen table. Grabbing a brownie as well. "Yeah and we all knew they liked each other. The only ones who didn't know was them."
Silence settled over them as Anna walked into the house. They could sworn they heard her giggle as she entered the room. A smile was stuck on her face, and she didn't even yell at them for eating her brownies.
"Hi guys...what are you doing here?" she asked not really caring what they said. Anna picked up the last brownie. And went to get a glass of milk, smiling the whole way.
The three girls fought back fits of laughter, "It was boring at my place" Tamao answered "And my brother was driving me crazy." Pirika added. "And I just have no life" Matti offered On a normal night Anna would have rolled her eyes and told them that it wasn't her job to save them from their boredom. But tonight was anything but normal.
Pouring herself a glass of milk, Anna just nodded and began to walk upstairs. "Okay, make yourselves comfortable. See you guys in the morning..." Anna walked up stairs to her room still love struck.
As soon as she was gone all three girls where in a fit of laughter. "Oh man this is just too good." the blue haired girl muttered to herself. "Well that makes operation Get-Hao-and-Anna-together a success!"
Matti nodded."Well that's one down..."
Tamao and Pirika looked at her with raised eyebrows."And what's that supposed to mean?" The pink haired girl asked
Matti closed her eyes and shrugged."I dunno. Love's in the air who knows what could happen..." Almost as soon as she said this the phone rang. Pirika picked it up.
"Hello?" she asked skeptical.
Matti smirked as Pirika handed to phone to Tamao. "It's for you..."
"Who is it?" Tamao whispered to the blue haired girl. Pirika smirked as well. "It's Lyserg from your band class..."
Tamao blushed a bright shade of crimson before talking to Lyserg on the other line. Matti and Pirika giggled "See what did I tell you?"
Pirika looked toward the window. "I wonder if that goes for us too..." just then a shooting star passed out side...
