Because I said so
Granite: Wow, look at some nice plenty reviews I get!! Oh, Minto? Where are you? looking around
Minto: pops up from nowhere Yes… I'm here... grins
Granite: sighs. Yes, whatever! A disclaimer, please! (Give Minto cookies)
Minto: rolls eyes. Alright. Granite Aizawa didn't own any of the characters here, except for Grace. She's a really beautiful girl.
Granite: Alright. This chapter is dedicated to my desk mate, Sarah, and all of the reviewer! Thank you! Or to anyone who just read this without reviewing…
PS: Minto is at the same class with Zakuro, since her IQ is 127… mm… A class…
Chapter 2: Between you and her.
At the school, Mint had an even harder time than usual staying preoccupied before.
On Math, the teacher had asked her how to solve Integral and Differential... Well… That's easy since she's highly intelligent and her IQ is 127.
At Chemistry, the teacher gave her a post-test about Quantum Numbers, Configuration electron, and also the system periodic of elements… Stressing…
When Zakuro asked what was the matter Mint only responded with a grunt.
"Heck, can she see that I'm stressing out??" thought Minto.
Now, the last lesson, Physic, was really made Minto depressed.
Her teacher, asked Minto to make some example of problems about kinematics, and ends up she solve it all… Well, since her teacher asked her, and ends up gave her a perfect mark. A+.
Minto sighed, then she sat on her respective seat. The teacher asked the other girl, and he seemed to ask Zakuro to solve some problems, and I chuckled imagining she can't solve any of them.
No. Right now, I was thinking on where to take Grace first.
Mmm… I think the zoo was a good place.
After all, wasn't that where Masaya took Ichigo on their first date? Hmm… no, their first date is in the museum…
Uhuh. Whatever.
Mint was overjoyed. Lucky her, school have over now, at 12 o'clock. She'd better go home faster to change her clothes…
Suddenly, Minto felt there's a hand on her shoulder.
Startled a little, Minto didn't turn around, since she didn't want to replay the accident she had with Grace. (Although honestly, she did want)
"Minto-chan?" The voice asked.
I turned my head.
There was… Zakuro!! The most beautiful girl on the school… Minto gasped a little.
"Well?" Zakuro asked, with a smirk.
"A… What??" Mint asked back.
Sighing, she said. "Minto-chan, yesterday you told me on the phone that you want to say something to me, right?? Better make it quick, since I'll have a photo shoot at 13 o'clock" said Zakuro, coolly, while looking at her watch. Zakuro knew exactly what Minto's going to tell her, but all she did few seconds before was all an act. She knew exactly that Minto's madly in love with her, and she has thought about that the whole night. Zakuro knew that she loved her after all… now and she wanted to test Minto.
Surprisingly, Minto says, "Its nothing. I just felt that I have something to tell you before, but now I forget what the thing is… you'd better go, so you wont late for your photo shoot, Onee-sama" said Minto, smiled a little.
Zakuro got really surprised, but she tried to hide it.
"No... Listen. Minto... I-" Minto cut in.
"Sorry, Onee-sama. I've got to go now…" said her, looking at her own watch. "And you'd go now, right? Goodbye, have a nice day!!" greeted Minto, waved her hand to Zakuro, then ran out.
Zakuro raised an eyebrow. What was in with Minto??
Mint had forgotten about Zakuro, so she decided that she had time to go home and change into some beautiful clothes.
After all, she wanted to impress Grace.
She finally decided to wear some tight blue jeans, azure colored shirt, with a blue ribbon, and a suede jacket.
Not that she really had anything to show but it couldn't help.
She wanted to do her make-up over again but it was already 1:10 so she decided that she looked good enough.
"Hei, Seiji-Anii-san" greeted Minto, happily, since her older brother's just coming from France yesterday.
"Hi, Imouto-chan, what's up? You look beautiful… Do you have a date??" Asked Seiji, half-mockingly.
Minto blushed. "Ye- Yeah… Kind of that, Anii-san!!" confessed Minto, sheepishly.
"Let me guess… Is that Fujiwara-san??" asked her older brother, with a pose like a great detective.
"Good thinking Sherlock. That's not Zakuro-Onee-Sama" answered Minto, chuckled.
"Who is that then??" questioned Seiji. Minto looked down at her watch. 1:20…
"Gomen, Anii-san… I've got to go… Maybe I'll come back at six" told her.
"Well… I guess I'll tell dad that you're leaving, and you'll go home at six" Said Seiji, sardonically. He then chuckled. Minto chuckled too.
"Arigato, Anii-sama… Bye!!" Minto went out the door.
At the park Minto had a little bit of trouble finding Grace. She's not here…
She then thinks to call her.
"Grace?"
"Yes, mm… Minto??" Grace said with a bit worry in her voice. Minto came to a conclusion that something has gone wrong.
"Grace, what's wrong?" She ventured carefully.
"I… get…lost… Wait me for five minutes, I'll be there! No worries!!" with this, she hung up.
Grace had lost her way and was five minutes late so Mint had to wait.
That was something that she didn't usually do.
But she gave in thinking that she was willing to make sacrifices to get to see that beautiful young woman again.
When Grace finally arrived, Mint's mouth dropped open in amazement.
She was wearing a jeans mini-skirt with chains hanging around her neck as a look alike gold necklace with sword and dragon, and also blue t-shirt, with purple jumper.
Minto almost started to drool. She couldn't believe that this girl was in Tokyo.
But here she was.
Going with her to explore the town.
Grace came up to Minto and said, "There ya 're. Sorry 'm late. I tend to be a bit bogged down with unpacking and I didn't realize whut time it 's and then I took a wrong turn."
Minto said back with a smile drawn in her face, "that is ok. As long as you are here now. Let's go to the zoo first."
Grace cringed.
She told Mint in a whisper, "I don't really like animals. Especially… The stink"
Minto couldn't think of another good place to take her but then she said, "I'd like to see where the school 's. Coz I'll be starting school on Mon"
Minto was all too happy to hear that. The girl of her dreams would be going to the same school. She gladly took Grace to the school she went to.
After they walked around the school, they went for ice cream.
Minto paid since she is rich and all. (Not to mention that she likes the girl)
Grace then asked Minto where she worked, after they're sitting on the bench.
"Hey, Minto. Where're ya working?" asked Grace, suddenly.
"Well, Grace-sama, tell me, Why?" She asked, while putting her chin on her palms. Enjoying seeing Grace's beautiful face, especially her black hypnotizing eyes.
"I had no idea how ya' pay everything" Asked Grace, innocently.
Minto sighed. She smiled. "My family is rich, but if you want to know where I work, I think I shall tell you, right?" Minto smirked a little.
Grace nodded.
"I'm working at Café Mew Mew"
Grace squeaked in delight, "Really? That's where my sis works!"
Sis… Sister?? She has a sister?? Who's her???
Minto was shocked. She could only ask, "Who is your sister?"
Grace nonchalantly said, "My sister, her name is Zakuro." Mint fell out of her chair.
She had started to have a crush on Zakuro's younger sister?
This could only mean trouble.
Minto Aizawa can't say that she's personally safe now.
