Weather: Sunny
Time: Noon
It was now noon at Yasogami High. In Ms. Kashiwagi's class, everyone was on the edge of their seats, waiting for the lunch bell to ring. For the past hour and a half, they had listened to a heartbroken Kashiwagi rant on and on (and on) about why all men are scumbags.
The sad teacher blew her nose with a Kleenex as she continued," You know, ladies, all of you in here should remember the three I's about men. What are they?"
Hoping for her to not yell out in anger again, the female students recited," Inconsiderate, Inept, Incompetent "
Kashiwagi made a faint smile," Good! You see, why can't I teach this instead of all of that boring crap? Get someone with lots and lots of money and power, divorce them, and live off wealth!"
Yosuke slammed his head on his desk with frustration," When will she shut up!?" he muffled out.
This girl's starting to remind me of Jane.
"Jane?" asked Yosuke curiously," Who's she?"
Oh, just some bitch Paul dated for a few years during our Beatle years. He hated her after a while, and even wrote some hit songs from his exasperation.
"Cool," Yosuke said simply to the rock star.
Finally, the bell rang, and almost immediately, everyone dashed out the door, leaving the crying teacher alone.
Yosuke continued his mental conversation," What songs did he write?
Oh, he wrote a good one for Revolver one time. Kind of suckish, if you ask me, but, eh, I'm no critic.
"Can you play it?" asked Yosuke, hoping for another tune to listen to.
Hey, it was Paul's song. I can't channel it.
"How does that make any sense whatsoever?" asked Yosuke.
A 40-year old British man lives in the head of a young Japanese teen. Nothing makes sense anymore.
Yosuke said," True."
Yosuke turned around to a voice, and saw Chie run up to him," Why're you wandering around alone?"
The boy shrugged," Beats me. Man, did you hear Kashiwagi cry today? She was like a whale!"
Chie chuckled," Yeah, totally! And what was all that stuff she blurted out? A girl shouldn't marry just for money, they should do it for love, don't you think?"
Don't answer that, it's a trap.
Yosuke pushed John into his mind and thought for an answer. Come on Hanamoola, think! Say something that's not idiotic!
Before he could think of an answer, he felt someone poke his back. He turned and saw the choir who had sung the song-o-grams last week," Hello?"
The leader of the group, a first year with glasses, asked," Do you mind if we sing another for Chie-senpai? This one's good, and her admirer REALLY wants her to hear it!"
Admirer, Yosuke…
Yosuke shut up the Beatle and said to the choir leader," Um, sure. But why, do you have to ask me? Chie's right here!"
Chie stepped up to the leader," Yeah, why ask him?"
The leader got a panicked look on is face," Wait, does that mean that you two aren't…You know what, never mind, we'll play it. Places, everyone!"
Yosuke and Chie watched as a second-year in the back came to the front, strumming a guitar, and the choir leader began to sing.
You'll never know how much I really love you.
You'll never know how much I really care.
After a few seconds of awkward silence, the choir went into full swing, and they all stepped toward Chie. Listen,
Do you want to know a secret?,
Do you promise not to tell?, whoa oh, oh.
The group now surrounded Chie like a pack of Shadows. They had practically pushed Yosuke out of the way, and he waited for the group to finish, with a hint of jealousy in him.
John: Be a man, Hanamoola, take your woman back!
"Don't worry, John, it's only a song," reassured Yosuke," I hope."
Closer,
Let me whisper in your ear,
Say the words you long to hear,
(Group whispers ineligible words in Chie's ear.)
Yosuke watched as the singing abruptly stopped, and the leader of the group whispered something in Chie's ear. Her face lit up almost instantaneously. What was going on? Listen,
Do you want to know a secret?,
Do you promise not to tell?, whoa oh, oh.
Yosuke thought of leaving for a moment, but didn't want to seem weak. He leaned against the wall and was pushed aside by a few students as they and a bunch more crowded in the cramped hallway.
Yosuke heard a familiar voice through the crowd," Hey, move it!" Out from the dense crowd popped Kou Ichijo," Yo."
"Kou, how'd you know the choir was singing?" asked Yosuke.
"Oh, it's just that they're so loud today! I ran here all the way from the first floor to see what was going on!"
"If you say so," said Yosuke suspiciously.
Closer,
Let me whisper in your ear,
Say the words you long to hear,
(Whispers in Chie's ear once again.)
There it was again! Chie was blushing madly again as the leader whispered in her ear again. Yosuke could see that Chie wanted to sneak out of the circle, but she was the center of attention.
"Great song, huh?" asked Kou, next to him," I've listened to this on my grandma's old turntable a few times, and it just stuck with me.
John: You have a good friend, Hanamoola.
Yosuke ignored John and thought of Kou's suspicious words. 'I heard it all the way from the first floor?' The choir wasn't that loud, the guitar was acoustic, and all of the people who gathered were all people who were standing in the same hallway, all except for Kou. Now Kou says he knew this song? Hmmm… Listen, Closer,
I've known the secret for a week or two,
Nobody knows, just we two.
Do you want to know a secret?,
Do you promise not to tell?, whoa oh, oh.
Let me whisper in your ear,
Say the words you long to hear,
(Whispers in Chie's ear.)
The song ended, and the students around the group cheered. As the group left, and soon the choir, Chie just stood in the exact spot. Her knees were wobbling a bit, much like last time, and she hid her face with her turtleneck.
Yosuke walked over to Chie," You all right?"
Chie peeked out from her collar," is it finally over?," Her face was bright red.
"Yeah," Yosuke answered," What was that all about, anyways? What they whisper in your ear?"
Chie almost jumped back a few feet," W-what? Oh, nothing. Just…stuff," a faint smile formed on her face when she said 'stuff'.
John: She's lying through her teeth. I'll tell you what they said. They said, and I quote-
Yosuke walked over to the wall and hit his head hard on the surface to rattle John enough to incapacitate him for a few hours," And stay quiet!"
Yosuke wobbled back and forth, dizzy from hitting his head on the hard wall. Chie went over to him and steadied him, grabbing his shoulders," What's wrong with you? I'm talking to you, and you just walk over and hit yourself on the head on the freaking wall!?"
"Eh?" the boy shook the stars away from his vision and saw Chie holding him from the shoulders. In her eyes, he saw confusion, worry, and that look people give you to say you're acting stupid. She gave him that look a lot," I'm fine now. John was just babbling about something."
"John?" Chie asked, confused.
Oh, crap, none of them knew about the Beatle inside of his mind! Yosuke turned towards her and said," I-I meant Susano-o! J-john's my…friend at Junes!"
The bell rang, and Yosuke ran to his next class," See ya!"
Chie exhaled," Something's not right about him."
Tomoe: What else is new?
Chie turned around and head for her own class, thinking fondly of the words the choir whispered to her. She knew THEY didn't mean it, but she knew someone did. She turned her head back to the hallway Yosuke had run down a few moments ago. For a moment, she thought of something. Maybe…Nah, no way that would happen. She made her way back down the hallway, thinking…pleasant thoughts.
Does anyone know the mystery words? If you do, please keep them to yourselves, I am trying to build suspense!
