Chapter 2: Fall in love for the first time
The next morning, I went to school as usual with my sister and brother. This time we went slightly early and we done some air tracks tricks in the park. Later, we race to school. At the student shoe locker, I saw Dylan just arrived too. He was alone. I heart beat so fast. I wanted to talk to him but I was too shy to do so. Shori stood behind me and she saw us. I felt someone was behind me. I looked behind and saw Shori. Shori pushed me towards Dylan. Dylan looked at me. I tried to say something.
"Hi, Dylan. Good morning…" I said nervously.
"Hi. Ms Shibuya. Morning to you too." He said with a smile.
"Well…uhm… Dylan, would you…." I noticed someone was near by.
Rinko and Kori came. They stood really close beside Dylan. They held his arm from both side.
"Dylan let's go to class together."
"Please Dylan…"
With that, Dylan gone with them instead since they pulled him all the way to class. I planned to ask him that but I guess I was too late. In class, I couldn't concentrate. The two of them were clinging on him. They were so noisy behind my seat that I almost snapped during test. After class, it was curriculum. I went for my tennis club while Shori went for her baseball club. I love tennis and baseball but I performed better in tennis. I always play baseball with Shori every time after dinner at our backyard. I changed to my tennis gear and assembled at the court to listen to our captain's speech. It was a selection week for the next competition. All five courts are used. The timetable for each match is shown on the notice board outside the changing room. I have three matches today. It was and easy wins for me. I knock-out two of them. The last match was one of the top seniors that day. I have two points to go to beat him.
Then, I saw Dylan passed by. He stopped to watch my match. I was so excited. When I was about to serve, Kori and Rinko tackled Dylan and I got distracted. I miss the ball and it hit my head instead. Due to that incident, my senior got a point. I was mad and embarrassed. I thought I would hit the record for an entire love game today. This time I was really mad. When I was returning the ball, I noticed it was getting higher. As I was returning the serve, I set the ball flying out of the court. Did I really return that hard? That was weird. I ran after the ball instead. It landed near a pond. I jumped over the fence and slowly try to grab hold of the ball. Shori saw me when she was getting a Ponta at a near by vending machines. She walked up to me.
"Yu-chan… what are you doing?"
"Oh, Sho-chan. I hit my ball really hard I guess that it fell here." I laughed.
"It's because of Dylan, huh? Kori and Rinko were with him, right?" She smirked.
I just flushed and show her my sour face. The pond behind me was starting to form a whirlpool. Shori faced the other way while giggling. Suddenly, I felt my body was really heavy. I began to feel like falling behind me. I fell into the pond. Shori sensed my vanished presence. She began to worry but she left for her baseball practice with her friends. I thought it was a dream. This time I ended up in a fountain with lily pads covering my body. Water was in my throat that made me coughing. I looked around. I was surrounded by women in white robes. They screamed when they saw me getting up. Slowly the lily pads on my head fall off and they were shocked to see that I was a double-black. They bowed before me. Then, Conrad and the others came. Gunter came with dry clothes while Conrad carried me out of the pond.
Two women in white robes scouted me and Conrad to a room. He covered me with a towel and I went into the room. Then, he took the dry clothes from Gunter's hands and went in behind me. He closed the door while Gunter and Wolfram watched the door. I dried myself up with the towel and slowly took off my wet tennis gear. To my surprise, Conrad saw my whole body. I thought he would looked the other way as always but this time he helped me put on my clothes. I put on my undergarments on my own. After that, he helped me put on my blouse and skirt. I pated my head and held my hand. We exited the room together. The women in white all bow before me then came the high priestess. She was looking forward to meet me. To my surprise, she looked like a twelve year-old child. She ran up to me and started checking on me. Then, she held my hand and started to cling on me. Wolfram was really upset.
"Hey you! Hands off my fiancé!"
"Oh, I'm sorry your excellency…"
"It's okay…." I patted her shoulder.
Conrad just chuckled and Wolfram hissed.
