Chapter Seven: My Half-Sister
Uo stared at the blank piece of paper in front of her. Apparently the teacher had given them an assignment to write at the least half a page of their experience at the job interview the other day along with how the project was going. Apparently, her partner was no where to be found as he had a student council emergency. Picking up her pencil, she began to write.
Yesterday was a very boring day and the only the only thing I learned was this: NEVER become a professional chef. Since I was practically bored yesterday and didn't learn anything 'cause I wasn't listening that's all I'm going to say about that.
As for the project, its going fine I guess except for the fact that my partner ALWAYS has meetings to attend leaving me alone with the baby. That's all I got to say… oh wait: Can I get a divorce? By the way, I know this isn't half a page but I just don't care about this project so I'll just let the prince do all the work.
Crack!
The sound of glass shattering came from within the student council room as Machi had another one of her rampages again. It was the second time this week and Nao had enough of her 'silly' antics.
All over the room papers were scattered – on the floor, table, you name it and it was there. Fragments of broken glass sprinkled the room here and there and all the books on the shelves somehow made its way to the other end of the room, lying open on their spine.
"Look, if you're going to be part of the council could you at least not mess everything up? I mean, do you think its all fun and games for you to be like this?" Nao questioned, tapping his foot on the floor angrily with his face scrunched up. "This isn't a playhouse."
"I'm sorry…" The student council treasurer whispered, stepping on one of the papers on the floor and kicking it softly. "I won't do it again…"
"What do you mean you won't do it again? You said that the last time and you just did it again today." Nao said, outraged by now and having a rampage of his own.
"Machi, saying that you won't do it again doesn't help. You have to ask why you shouldn't do it again." Yuki told the girl as Manabe sat on the floor watching all the drama in front of him like it was some kind of television show, as Kimi was apparently nowhere to be found.
Machi fiddled with her fingers and gave a soft nod without giving eye contact. "Okay…"
"You're just going to let her off the hook just like that?" Nao scolded at Yuki. "What nonsense is this?"
"This is better than television!" Manabe exclaimed, pretending to eat popcorn from the air. "We really should get a microwave in here…"
Machi, Nao and Yuki stared blankly and sadly at their vice-president. Seriously, how did he get the position?
"Uhm, I have to go now…" Machi said, and silently skidded out of the room. Her bangs covered her eyes as it swayed left and right, so none of the boys could see the hurt in her eyes that is except for Yuki. Within seconds she was out of their sight, and left all the mess she made with the boys.
"What is with her? I mean, she's a girl. Girls are supposed to be clean, not messy!" Nao complained, observing the mess Machi had left them and pouted. "I am not cleaning after a mess that I did not cause."
"Well, feel free to leave then. No one's holding you back." Yuki told him, sighing as Nao didn't hesitate and left immediately.
"Are you going to go also?" Yuki asked Manabe.
"Nah, there's nothing I really need to do and I wanted to talk to you about something." Manabe said seriously. Yuki nodded his head, seeing that he actually meant he was saying. "You see, there's a rumor going 'round that Machi tried to kill her baby brother when she was little. And just to let you know that it's not true. Machi is a good person; she's just being pressured and has a lot of expectations from her parents."
"Manabe… how do you know so much about Machi?" Yuki asked, suddenly interested in what he was saying.
"You see, Machi is my sister. She's my younger half sister to be exact, by our mutual father's wife. During our childhood, our mother made us compete with each other to see who would inherit the heir. I withdrew myself from the running, leaving Machi but the thing is that her mom bore a son…" Manabe gave a glance at Yuki, seeing his eyes wide with curiosity and wonder.
"… You see Machi lives apart from her family because her mom believed that she's a danger to her younger brother as she made an accusation without asking if it was true…Which brings us to the rumor around campus. They say that Machi tried to kill her younger brother, but I know that it's not true. Ya' know Yun-Yun, I think she would tell you the real story if you tried talking to her." Manabe grinned.
"Well, are we going to just let this mess lie around or are we going to clean it up?" He asked, suddenly changing the direction of the conversation.
"W-Wait, I don't even know where Machi lives." Yuki stuttered, feeling kind of awkward of asking Manabe where she lived after all that he told him.
"Well, I can escort you there tomorrow after school. Is that okay?" Manabe asked, picking up all the papers from the floor.
"That would be perfect." Yuki told him, picking up the pieces of paper with Manabe as they swept the room clean.
"By the way, don't talk about perfection around Machi." Manabe said, giving Yuki the heads up.
"Why?"
"I think I'll leave it up to her to tell you." Manabe answered back, and with that they continued with cleaning off the room.
