Oka played with her arm warmers as she waited for the morning class to begin. She looked at Sakyu who was sitting behind her. The girl seemed to be ignoring her as she was looking at the book on her desk. Oka had, again, watched her as she spoke to her sister on the roof. She hadn't learned anything new, unfortunately so had nothing to go by in terms of research. But it wasn't the Basu sisters that she was focus in on right now.
As she was watching the siblings, she had noticed Kokona Haruka coming up onto the roof again, like yesterday. And if that wasn't strange enough, that charcoal haired girl quickly appeared and the pair of them seemed to be talking about something. While curious, Oka knew better than to try and listen in to people's conversations like that. Besides, she didn't want to give people the idea that she would do that. Given Kokona's popularity and the amount of friends she had, she wouldn't stand a chance. The last thing Oka needed was to be seen as a "peeping Tom". Sure she watched the Basu sisters on a daily bases but that was different! Oka sighed and looked around again.
But then the sight of someone unfamiliar to her caught her interest.
She looked at the desk in the first row and third column of the classroom. There was an unfamiliar girl sitting there, who Oka had never seen before. Her hair was long, wavy and blonde with salmon pink tips and her skin was heavily tanned. While this was the first time she had seen the girl, she had heard her name before. Musume Ronshaku. She had heard other students say her name and, given that she had never heard that name before until she arrived, she could only assume that was her name. She had heard her speaking to some of the others in the class, she had a very distinct voice. Loud and pretty obnoxious with a Valley Girl accent. Maybe she was American, Oka didn't know and she was not about to go and ask. She'd quickly become popular within the school, she just knew she would. She figured it was just better to ignore her, rather than try to introduce herself to her. She just knew it wouldn't work and she didn't want to be laughed at or shunned by anyone else. Oka opened her book and started reading.
Just as she was going to turn the page, she felt a tap on her right shoulder. Her stomach did a flip as she instantly knew who it was. She turned around and, just as she predicted, Taro was looking at her.
"Hey, Oka. I just wanted to give you your pen back." he said with the same gentle smile he had yesterday. He was holding her pen in his hand.
"Oh… t-thank you, Taro." She stammered, taking it from him. Taro smiled and his charcoal eyes moved onto her blue fingerless gloves with white cobwebs on them.
"I like your gloves." He said, Oka had to look away so he couldn't see her pale cheeks turn a furious pink. She played with her choker nervously, trying to think of a response that didn't sound stupid.
"T-Thank you… M-my mum made them for me… For a birthday." She answered finally, still fiddling with her choker.
"Really? Well, tell your mum that she's very talented." Taro smiled before turning back to his own work. It's good that he did as he didn't notice Oka freezing up at his comment. She fidgeted with her hands before looking back at her desk.
"Y-Yeah… I'll tell her…" she said quietly, staring at her wooden desk. She glanced back at Taro, seeing that he was now looking out the window. She didn't want to snap at him, though she knew that other people would. It wasn't his fault, he didn't know.
Oka grabbed the little blue voodoo doll from under her red arm-band and squeezed it in her hand. She wasn't sure why she had been so stuck in these thoughts lately. But she didn't know what was worse, being stuck with these thoughts or the fact that she didn't have anyone to talk about it with. Oka put the voodoo doll back under her arm band and went back to reading her book. She could only hope that this day would go quickly and she could go home. She wished she could leave right this moment. She didn't want to even take part in her club today, but she couldn't just ignore it. She didn't want to think about what trouble she'd get into for avoiding her club, not to mention the club she was the leader of. Why did she start that stupid club in the first place? Nothing ever worked! Trying to summon a demon or anything always ended in failure! Everyone thought her activities and interests were a joke! Nobody ever took them seriously! Why couldn't she have the guts to just shut it, there was no reason to have it! Every other club seemed to have a purpose except for hers! Oka sighed heavily and shut her eyes. She wished she could tell someone what she was thinking. Having all of these thoughts going on in her head at once wasn't good for her.
All she could hope that today would go smoothly.
….
Lunch time came without anything happening in class, aside from the lesson of course. Good, maybe today won't be so bad after all. Oka made her way up towards the roof as usual. She did prefer being up on the roof as opposed to in the Plaza or the lunch area. Along with the nice view in which she could pretty much see the whole town from up there, there was also solitude that came with it, since there were only usually about five people on the roof at once. She felt safe up here.
As Oka walked onto the roof, she paused at the door. Both Sakyu and Inkyu were sitting on the bench next to Kuu Dere. The pair were eating their lunch while Kuu looked away from the pair, the expression on her face told Oka that she didn't appreciate the pair sitting on her bench. Her red eyes looked towards Oka and blinked a couple of times before glancing behind her towards the sisters. Did she want Oka to get rid of them? The girl blinked and backed away into the entrance of the door. She didn't know what to do! She wanted to help Kuu, since she knew that the girl did want to be alone and didn't want anyone next to her. But she just knew that it would end terribly for her if she tried to talk to the sisters. Maybe it was better to just leave. Oka sighed as she started walking down the stairs to the first floor where her club was. Maybe she could stay in there for a while. She didn't know how else to spend her time.
As she was about to turn the corner towards her club, Oka didn't notice someone walking towards her until they collided heads.
"Ow!" Oka whimpered, taking a few steps back and covering her eyes, "I'm sorry!" She squeaked, praying that whoever she had ran into wouldn't be angry with her.
"Uh! Like, seriously? You should, like, watch where you're going!" A brash voice responded, making Oka look through her fingers. Her stomach did a flip as he realised that it was Musume Ronshaku that was standing in front of her. She gasped and covered her mouth with her hands.
"Oh, M-Musume! I-I-I'm so… S-Sorry!" She stammered anxiously. So much for staying out of her way!
"Uh, what? How do you know my name? That is, like, suuuper creepy!" The girl rolled her eyes and wagged a finger as she spoke. Oka winced at being called creepy and glanced away.
"I just… Heard it from some people." She admitted quietly, writhing her hands nervously. Great, she had only been talking to this girl for less than a minute and already she thought she was creepy.
"Pfft, well I've never met you before, so that's still creepy. Are you like, a stalker or something?"
"No!"
"Oh my GAAAAAWD why are you getting defensive? I was just asking!" She huffed as she flicked her impressive hair behind her. Oka silently looked the girl over. She was very flashy. Her face was tinged with makeup and she just looked… Attractive. Very attractive. Her hair swept behind her like the mane of an Arabian mate and sported an impressive bust. Oka very quickly glanced down at her own chest, or lack thereof. That and her hair was still a mess and she hated the thought of wearing makeup, it'd be hard to keep up with all of that.
"Beauty and the Beast…" Oka mumbled lowly to herself. Though Musume seemed to have heard her as she tilted her head and gave her a judging look.
"Um… M-my name's Oka." She said, fiddling with her choker nervously. Musume simply rolled her eyes,
"Like, I didn't ask for your name." She said dismissively before turning away for a moment letting out a long and exaggerated sigh.
"Like, ohhhhh my gawwwwwd, I soooo need a smoke right now…" She said.
Oka's eyes widened. A smoke? Wasn't that violating school rules? She knew someone could get suspended or worse from smoking cigarettes in school. Oka played with her choker again and glanced away, unsure how to move away from this topic. Cigarettes, really?
"Oh… Um… You smoke?"
"Well, DUH!"
"O-ok I'm sorry-!"
"Wait! Do you, like, have any ciggies on you?"
Ciggies? Oka still couldn't wrap her head around this girl's attitude. What made her think she was above everyone else and could break rules that would get anyone else suspended? But she knew she couldn't express it, as if she'd want her reputation to drop even further!
"If you could, like, get me a pack of smokes, I'd soooo totally be your best friend for-EVER."
Oka winced at the way Musume said "ever." She darted her eyes, how did no one else hear that? She looked at the floor and writhed her hands together. A best friend? Really? Oka squeaked and shut her eyes for a moment. She wanted a friend. Terribly. Someone to talk to, someone to hang out with... someone to be close to. But if she had to break rules to do that, potentially getting both herself and Musume in severe trouble? Oka let out a little sigh, oh well... there were more people in this school... maybe someone would eventually become friends with her. But not this way.
"I-I-I'm sorry…" she started carefully, hoping she didn't offend the girl, "but I don't smoke... and I don't think it's right to-"
"Ooooh!" Musume squealed suddenly, throwing her hands up, "Look at little miss goody-two-shoes over here. Think you're better than me just because you don't smoke?"
"What? No! I-I Don't think that, I'm sorry Musume-!"
"What-EVERRRRR!" Musume waved her off dismissively, "I'm going outside. Maybe I, like, have some in my pocket." The girl rolled her eyes, "Thank's for nothing." she added as she swiftly stormed past Oka down the hallway, leaving her alone.
Oka wrapped her arms around herself, still shaken. Why was it so hard to talk to people without embarrassing herself? Why couldn't she be more like Kokona and willingly talk to someone she hadn't met? She talked Taro, but that was about it. Oh wait, there was also that charcoal haired girl…
"Hello, Oka."
"Kyaaaa!" Oka squealed, spinning around to notice the charcoal-haired girl standing behind her. How did she get here so quickly? And how did she know her name? She was standing there, blinking her black eyes in her direction.
"Uh… h-h-hello…" she stammered anxiously, fiddling with her collar. What did she want now? Why did she keep seeing this girl? She appeared everywhere! She didnt even know her name! Oka shut her eyes for a moment, what could she say? Thank you for the compliment? Wouldn't that sound weird? She let out a little sigh and opened her eyes.
Where'd she go? Oka looked around, but she couldn't see anywhere. Oka sighed and looked down at the floor. She looked back down the hall, seeing it was empty. All the halls were empty, she was totally isolated. Oka took out her little voodoo doll and held it in her hands. At least she still had him to keep her company. She figured it would be better to just go back to class rather than her club. Maybe sitting next to Taro would make her feel a bit better.
Twenty minutes later, Oka was sitting at her desk in the classroom, waiting for the teacher to come back. Everyone was now in class and getting ready. She looked at Taro, who was still staring dreamily out of the window. Could she talk to him? Would he be annoyed that she distracted him from his daydreaming? Maybe it was better to stay quiet. As she sat in her seat, she noticed that something was different. Where was Musume? Her desk was empty and she hadn't seen her in the hallway. Maybe she did find a cigarette and was standing outside. Surely she would come to class soon.
….
She didn't. Oka put her voodoo doll back under her armband and started making her way to her club's room. She wasn't convinced that their attempt to summon a demon would work this time, but it was worth a try. As she walked, she passed the lockers and noticed that it was now busy and crowded. Oka preferred to get her things after the club's activities when it was quieter.
But looking around again, she noticed that Musume was still absent. She couldn't see her anywhere. Weird, given how distinctive the girl was, she shouldn't be hard to spot. Oka frowned worryingly, where was she? She didn't want anything to happen to the girl! Maybe she just left early or something, but why would she leave without going to class? Maybe she was just sick or something. Oka sighed and walked to her club, keeping her head down. Surely she'd be back tomorrow. And while she'd be glad to see that the girl was alright, she guessed that it would be better if she just avoided her, given how their meeting went. It was probably better that way. It worked for most people…
Oka walked into her club's room and stood in the centre of it. She kept her head down and stared at her feet. Everyone was already dotted around, reading their books. Oka herself had read those books many times, they were full of fascinating facts and stories. But they were usually taken by the other club members. Oka looked around, watching each member one by one. One thing she had always noticed about almost everyone apart from Shin covered their right eye. She wasn't sure why. It seemed that it would make things more difficult. The two girls claimed they lost their eyes, but Oka wasn't sure if that was true. They never talked about it. And she had no idea about the boys. She had no idea whatsoever. She didn't know if she had the will or the courage to ask. She figured it was better to just leave it.
"Hello?" A voice made her jump out of her thoughts and look up. She squeaked as she noticed the charcoal-haired girl standing in front of her? What the hell was going on here? She just appeared out of thin air!
"Um...hi…" she mumbled softly, looking at the floor and writhing her hands.
"I never gave you my name." she said bluntly, making Oka more nervous. Why did her voice sound so flat?
"N-No…. Y-y-you didn't." she said quietly, avoiding looking in her vacant eyes.
"It's Ayano."
"Oh… um… i-i-it's nice to meet you… Ayano…" It felt good to finally know this girl's name. Though… she couldn't help but feel a little unsettled by her flat tone.
"Umm… wh-what can I… do for you?" she asked, still writhing her hands anxiously.
"I would… like to be part of your club."
Remember, reviews are your friends ;)
