Chapter 7
Nami burst into her dorm room while grumbling. "That crazy, pervert, insane girl, uughhh!"
Hinata who was doing review of today lesson jumped on her chair when her roommate burst in, grumbling exasperatedly. "What happened?"
Nami stopped her pacing. "That queen wanna be girl,"
"You mean Ray sama?"
"Yes, she, that girl," Nami said in frustration. She started to pace again, clenching her fists. "That insane girl."
Hinata let out a chuckle and took Nami to sit on bed. "Okay, something's happened I see. What did she do?"
"What did she do?" Nami raised her tone, once again standing on feet, looking down at Hinata. "That girl, she…she…she…" she trailed off.
Upon seeing Nami suddenly turned nervous Hinata grinned widely, taking the hint. She stood beside the nervous girl, throwing an arm on Nami's shoulder. "She kissed you again, did she?"
Nami looked aside and gave a light nod. Hinata's laugh brought her gaze back to the girl. "Why are you laughing? I'm in serious trouble, and you're laughing now?"
"Are you sure it's a trouble?" Hinata asked and laughed. Nami lifted a fist and she quickly added. "Sorry, it's just…oh my god."
Hinata held her belly and laughed again. Nami pushed her arm off and sat down on bed. "Don't you think it's awesome? You barely enter this Academy and got the number one student, student representative fell head over heels with you."
"Awesome my ass," Nami retorted. Hinata bent over in laughter. "Can you stop laughing? I'm serious here."
"Okay, okay, sorry," Hinata said after taking breath. "But seriously it's cool, I mean…" When she got a glare from Nami she put a hand up. "Okay, just kidding geez. So, what are you gonna do?"
"I don't know. She won't leave me alone," Nami replied and sighed.
"Yeah, she likes to kidnap you anyway," Hinata added and chuckled.
Hinata took Nami's side, sitting on bed. "You know, I think it isn't big deal," she said. Nami turned to her to argue but she continued. "You can't blame her."
"But I'm a girl," Nami exclaimed.
"In boy clothes. She doesn't know that. Let's think this way, if you have girlfriend," Hinata paused, rolling eyes when Nami glared. "If you have girl who likes you isn't it a good thing? It will help your disguise; everyone won't doubt you're a girl."
"But I don't like girl…"
Hinata shot an eyebrow up. "Why do I sense an uncertainty there?" she asked. Nami once again lifted her fist. "Just kidding geez. Anyway, I don't say you return the feeling."
"But it means I just use her," Nami said and turned her gaze to floor. Surely she was annoyed by student representative girl but it didn't mean she would like the idea of using the girl for her own benefit. It just didn't feel right with her.
Hinata smiled inwardly at the statement. She threw her body on matrass. "Then date her," she said. She laughed and brought hands up to cover her face as Nami tried to hit her with pillow.
Together with other students Nami left dorm, heading toward dining room. She yawned and shivered. It was a cloudy morning. She folded arms before chest, hugging herself as they advanced the dining room. Some girls glanced toward them, throwing smiles. She decided to ignore the girls but noticed Hinata, as usual, greeting back the girls. She once again let out a yawn, shaking her head to drive the sleepiness off. Asahi caught her arm and stopped her.
"What's wrong?" Nami asked. Asahi gave a nod with her chin. The student representative girl's fans were standing in their way. "What do you want? I don't have mood for…"
The boys suddenly fell onto their knees, bowing heads. "You won."
"Won what?" Nami asked, confused.
"The last battle, you won. So, from now you are our Aniki*. Everyone greet Aniki." The leader boy said. (*Aniki means big brother).
Nami was confused seeing the boys at once bowing toward them. "Wait a minute, I'm not…" she said but the leader boy rose to his feet, starting to push other student aside, making way for them.
"Give a way for Anikis. Hey you idiot, move away," the leader boy said.
Nami rubbed her forehead. "I got headache already."
"Oh man, this is cool," Hinata said, throwing smile. "Hi, girls. Lovely day, isn't it?"
"Keep low profile, huh?" Nami said to Asahi. Asahi only gave smile and pulled her to follow Hinata. She then saw presidents group at the other side.
Shizuru slowed her pace. "We have rival now," she said and gave a nod toward new students.
Ray rolled her eyes but looked at the boys nonetheless. But only the one with blond hair caught her eyes. Kai turned his head and their eyes met but he then quickly looked away. She bit her lips to hold back a smile. She didn't mind they got attention from other students as long as no one touched her Kai.
Ray lifted her chin and walked on. "Let's go, I'm hungry."
"Hungry huh?" Shizuru said and chuckled when Ray sent a glare.
Nami pulled handkerchief out from her pants pocket, drying hands. She had finished morning class. She folded the handkerchief and shoved it back into pocket. She then leaned against sink, glancing at her wristwatch. '...twelve...thirteen...fourteen...'
Men's restroom door swung open and four boys stepped inside.
"You're sixteen seconds late," Nami said to the boys. "You come to drag me out again, right? Then let's go." The boys looked at each other in confusion. "Don't worry I won't yell at you, or kick your ass," she said and put smile on face. When one of the boys pulled out black cloth she stopped him. "No need to use that now, are we?" The boy looked down at the cloth before putting it back in his pants pocket. "Okay, let's go."
Nami looked around at the garden. She thought the boys would take her to president council office. Instead they took her to the garden where she had met the student representative girl before. But the mentioned person wasn't there. She then decided to take a look. The garden was beautiful with pink, white and violet shibazakura (pink moss flowers) spread over the ground like a carpet. It also had roses although still in buds. It would bloom the next month. There was a set of metal chairs and table at the middle of the garden. She noticed foods and drinks on the table. Curiously she walked toward the table.
"Whose food is this?" Nami looked over delicious foods on the metal table.
"Us of course."
Nami whirled around in surprise and found the student representative standing behind her grinning widely. "Can you stop doing that?"
"Sorry," Ray said and giggled. She took Kai's arm. "Let's eat."
Nami shook her head but followed nonetheless. "I thought your office."
"Well, nice weather today so I thought here was best," Ray said, pouring drink and handing it to him. "I hope you don't mind."
"I…" Nami was surprised herself that she couldn't reply those simple words. "No," she finally replied. She took her cup and gulped the apple juice to cover her nervousness. Why she got nervous anyway, she wondered.
"Good, let's eat."
Nami shook her head mentally and took chopsticks. She was about to eat but Ray grabbed her hand. "What's wrong?"
"Do you have any food allergies?"
"Allergy?" Nami shook her head. "No, I don't have any. Why?"
Ray smiled, relieved. "That's good to hear. Just worry if you have any. Let's eat," she said cheerily.
"Oh," Nami mumbled. She took cut pork cutlet with chopsticks and glanced at the happily eating girl before her.
"You're staring." Ray looked up and grinned. "Stunned with my beauty?"
Nami rolled her eyes, shoving the cutlet into her mouth. "Don't flatter yourself," she said and the girl giggled. She gulped the chewed meat down her throat. "Can I ask you something?"
"You can ask me anything," Ray replied. She chuckled when he raised eyebrow in annoyance. "What is it?"
"Do you have class? I heard student representative takes class of the three schools. How do you do that? You also have student representative duty thing."
Ray laid chopsticks, lacing fingers, leaning elbows on table. "Yes, I have to take all the classes, but I had it in my fifth-year." She smiled at him. She was happy that Kai started to have interest in her activity. It was a good start, she thought.
"All classes in a year?" Nami dropped her jaw. Ray giggled and nodded. "No wonder it turns you crazy." The girl reached over to pinch her hand but she quickly moved it away. She chuckled when the girl pushed her bottom lip out.
"But I like it." Ray let out small breath and looked aside. "I like this Academy."
For a moment Nami was just staring at the student representative girl. She shook her head and smiled slightly. "Odd girl," she said. A small tomato flew and hit her shoulder.
"Kai."
Nami pushed chair in and stretched arms out, sleepy already after lunch. She watched as the girl cleared the table and put lunch boxes inside a picnic basket. She didn't notice the picnic basket. "Are we having picnic here?"
"Now you mention it, it's like a picnic," Ray said, grinning at Kai. "We should have it often. How about tomorrow, oh but tomorrow is weekend." She sighed.
Nami rubbed her temple, cursing herself to put the idea. She was lucky tomorrow was weekend.
"Maybe next week," Ray said merrily. "Next week then. Just look forward, I will bring…"
Nami thought to reject the idea but seeing the girl blabbering about the next 'picnic' she decided it would be useless.
Ray turned to Kai. "What do you think?"
"Uh, good." Nami nodded although she didn't really listen to the girl.
Ray clapped her hands, grinning widely. "Okay, let's go. You have class, right?"
"Yes, I better go now," Nami said, turned around but Ray took her arm.
"Let's go."
Nami rolled her eyes mentally, sighing in defeat. It seemed that she couldn't stay away from the girl any way. "Let me bring that."
"It's okay, isn't heavy," Ray said but Kai took the basket from her hand. She couldn't help a smile at his chivalry. "Thanks, a gentleman I see." She giggled when Kai rolled his eyes.
Nami regretted offering a help. She thought it wasn't fair since the girl had prepared their meal, although she didn't ask. Besides it was what a guy would do, she thought. They walked out from the garden with the girl blabbering about their next lunch menu which she only mumbled or let out hum having no interest in them.
Ray released his arm. "Okay, see you soon Kai," she said, waving.
"Yah, don't ever show up again," Nami said after the girl left her. She shivered, watching the girl disappeared inside main building. "Shit, I'm going to be late again."
Nami ran toward School of Dance building. Although she was a student of School of Music but she also had another school class. And today was dance class. She went to second floor. Girls were whispering and giggling when she passed them. She decided to just ignore those girls and looked for the classroom. All rooms were named in world dance names. She read the plate. "Allemande…Buyo…Carinosa…Disco…" She got wondered if the room had disco ball. She chuckled, moving to next rooms. She stopped when she finally found the room "Flamenco."
The name reminded her about the student representative girl. "No, no, no. Don't let that crazy girl invade your head." She shook her head.
"Kai, where the hell have you been? What are you doing there?" Hinata knitted her brows seeing Nami shaking head vigorously.
"Nothing," Nami replied and walked past Hinata. She saw her classmates were already inside waiting for Katsuyuki sensei. Katsuyuki sensei was Classical and Modern Dance teacher. Everyone turned their gazes when door opened and Katsuyuki sensei walked in.
"Good afternoon students," Katsuyuki sensei greeted his students. "Last meeting we had studied about origin and types of dance. Only learn from textbook and hear from teacher's explanation I believe it will be boring, so, for today class," he paused, clapping his hands. "You will see real dance from real dancers."
Nami turned to Asahi and Hinata. They looked back at her, tilting heads a little. She turned her head when door pushed open, revealing the person she hardly wanted to see. "Why the hell is she everywhere?" she mumbled. When Ray turned her head toward her direction she quickly looked aside, averting the girl's eyes. But when Katsuyuki sensei said another dancer name she moved her gaze back and saw Akira, like Ray also wore ballroom dance outfit. She sighed in annoyance seeing the crazy girl and her partner who was arbitrarily jealous of her.
Ray grinned inwardly when she spotted Kai between students. She wished it was only them in the room. But Kai hadn't noticed her, or perhaps tried not to. It made her smile instead. 'You're in class right now' she told herself. She brought her attention back to the class.
Nami tried to keep her gaze at teacher. Katsuyuki sensei finished his brief explanation and Ray and her partner showed them the dance. The first one was Waltz; the oldest ballroom dance. She watched as the girl and Akira did fast steps as Katsuyuki sensei explained about Viennese Waltz. They then moved slower in American Style Waltz. The music changed and they straightened their bodies. Katsuyuki sensei explained about Cha-Cha-Cha dance which was originated from Cuba with fourth beat tempo but she didn't really listen to the explanation as her eyes once again glued to Ray. The girl swayed her hips while stepping around. And for her surprise the girl was smiling. Akira also had smile on his face. He said something to Ray and she smiled wider.
"Wow, they look like a couple," Hinata whispered.
Nami cleared her throat and turned to Hinata who had grin on face. That was when the music changed to what she believed from seventies year disco music and she looked back at the performers.
"Oh, I like that dance. It's Hustle. Sometimes I do the dance with my sister,"
Nami heard Asahi's whisper but held her gaze to Ray. The girl kept her smile while spinning around Akira. Akira would release the girl's hand, take her back and they move around. The music once again changed to one of twenty-first century famous song and Ray jumped toward the president boy. Akira caught her body, lifting to his shoulder, spinning around. Everyone in the room clapped the dancers.
"That's awesome!"
Nami must agree with Hinata. She clapped her hands, following the other as the girl stretched arms and legs out while they were spinning around. She let out a gasp, astonished, when Akira moved Ray to his back before catching her waist with his other hand, bringing her back before him.
Nami clapped Ray and her partner. Despite the girl's craziness and arrogant attitude but she was indeed a great dancer. But seeing they were still holding hands she wondered if they were really a couple. From jealous gazes the president boy always gave her, she could tell at least Akira had the thought. She turned her gaze to Ray and their eyes met. The girl smiled and gave a quick wink toward her.
Ray pressed her lips together when Kai cast gaze down, avoiding her. 'Still shy boy'
After the class Nami decided to go to library. She took a table near wall, putting her bag, and wandering between shelves. She liked the architecture of the building, high ceiling in European style. She walked toward Music shelves. She thought to learn about songwriting. She moved to the next aisle and finally found books she needed. She pulled out a book and looked inside.
"Catch you."
Nami was startled when pair of arms hugged her from behind. She immediately recognized the person from her perky voice. Ray put chin on her shoulder. "What are you doing? Let me go." She pushed the arms off and stepped away from the girl almost stumble on the way.
Ray giggled seeing the boy jumped in surprise. "Keep quiet."
"Don't shush me," Nami said to the giggly girl. "Hugging people without permission, are you crazy?" She slapped her forehead purposely. "Forgot that, you are."
Ray let out a laugh. "What are you reading?" She took the book from Kai's hand and held it away when he tried to take it back. "Songwriting? Why are you reading this book?"
Nami grabbed the book back. "Isn't your business," she said. She then turned around to for another book.
Ray followed the boy and stood beside him. "You write songs?"
Nami moved aside, ignoring the girl. She took another book, looking inside.
"Actually I wonder about the song you had sung at the party. Did you make it yourself?"
Nami closed the book and moved to another shelve. She noticed the girl was following her but decided to just ignore.
"It's a good song, I like it," Ray said, standing behind Kai. She looked over his shoulder at the book he was reading. When Kai closed the book to leave she put her arms around his waist to stop him.
Nami was surprised when the girl once again hugged her. "What are you doing? Let me go."
Ray tightened her hold, chin still on Kai's shoulder. "Why are you ignoring me? You ignored me during class too."
Nami stopped her struggling at Ray's disappointed voice. 'Why do I care?' She shook her head, trying to loosen the girl's hold. "Let me go."
"No." Ray insisted, pulling the boy against her.
"Let me go or I'll scream out, right here right now?" Nami warned. She was about to scream when a librarian showed up.
"Oh my good Lord, what are you doing there? This is library, a place for study."
Nami brought hands up. "It wasn't like you think ma'am, we didn't do anything, just…"
"No excuse. This is school for Lord's sake."
"I didn't do anything, it's her." Nami pointed her thumb toward the girl who was still hugging her. She nodded her head when the librarian lady glanced at Ray. "I didn't do anything," she added and grinned inwardly. Finally someone who didn't fear the girl showed up.
Ray sighed and leaned off when the librarian cleared her throat, but still put arms around him. "I thought we should keep quiet here."
"Ray san, I didn't notice you."
"We won't make noise so don't mind us."
"Huh?" Nami's jaw dropped down. "No, no," she pleaded, shaking head. But the librarian just offered small smile before turning back to the student representative.
"Don't worry you can have your time. Just keep quiet, okay?"
"Wait, don't leave me here!" Nami shouted.
"Keep quiet, please."
"My fault?" Nami asked, dumbfounded. The librarian pushed her glasses up before leaving them. She turned her gaze when she heard giggle.
"We shouldn't make voice," Ray said. She tried to hold back a chuckle when Kai glared at her.
Nami made a groan in her throat. "You happy now?" Ray let out light chuckle, nodding. She sighed and decided to just let the girl do whatever she wanted. For her surprise the girl released her.
"Hey, how about this one?"
Nami turned her head and her breath was caught in throat when her lips met the girl's. Their lips connected for moment. Ray then leaned off, taking her hand.
"Have a nice weekend Kai," Ray said and giggled at Kai's slight flushed cheeks. She then left the stunned boy.
"That…ughh," Nami groaned, exasperated. But she then realized a book on her palm. "Fundamental of Music Compositions." She looked up at the direction the girl had left to. "Ray san,"
"Oh, I've missed this."
Nami and Asahi chuckled at Hinata's enthusiasm. Hinata decided they go to street dance. And now they were heading for the old bridge. She could hear hip hop music as they advanced the group. Just like three weeks ago many people were gathering around the place. It seemed tonight they were doing battle.
Nami clapped two girls who were doing break dance. They stepped back and two guys stepped in, starting footwork before doing freeze. She laughed when Hinata let out a whistle when the guy put hand to support his body while spinning it around in the air. The guys left the floor and the girls took back the floor. For a while they watched boys and girls doing battle. After the battle Hinata pulled them toward dance floor. Nami moved her head, swaying hips, following music beat. Soon she was lost in her dance. Asahi and Hinata were also enjoying their dancing beside her. Finally after disguising and living as boy for three weeks she could be herself, enjoying her girl time.
Nami popped her chest in and out and spun around. She was surprised to see eyes behind silver mask were looking at her. She immediately recognized the guy. Men in Black. The guy kept his gaze while shaking his body. After moment finally she could break the eye contact and spun around. But the guy moved to her front and leaned closer.
"Nice dance."
Nami stopped for moment as deep voice said in her ear. She looked up and he winked. She thought to step back but the guy took her waist, pulling her to the other side, out from the crowd. Another time she wouldn't do dance with stranger but tonight she thought to have fun. Besides she had seen his dance and was captivated by it before. She started to sway her hips. She noticed small smile on his lips as he shook his body together with her.
For her surprise she enjoyed dancing with the guy. It was when Hinata called her name that stopped her. She took deep breath, wiping sweat from her forehead. "I'm coming!" she shouted back to Hinata.
Nami started to walk but the guy stopped her by catching her wrist.
"Hope can see you again, senorita."
A shiver ran down her spin when he whispered in her ear. Unconsciously she nodded her head. He winked before releasing her hand.
"Nami!"
Hinata's voice broke Nami's frozen state. "Yes, coming!" she shouted back. The guy once again sent a smile before disappearing into dancing crowd.
"Oh my fucking god, you dance with Men in Black!" Hinata squealed. "How is it? How is it? It must be awesome!"
Nami chuckled at Hinata's squeals as they walked toward the girl's car.
"He looks like a good dancer," Asahi said. "I saw the other one, the one with black mask."
"They're gods," Hinata corrected. "I wish can dance with them too. You're lucky Nami."
Nami just offered a smile. She took a glance toward crowd. She wondered how the guy could make her heart beat fast since it never happened before.
"C'mon it past ten now," Hinata said while running toward boy's dorm.
"Whose fault is it? We'd have made it in time if you didn't insist eating ice cream," Nami returned. She was tired after street dance and now sprinted toward dorm.
"I'm tired," Asahi said between her panting. She put brake on just in time when Nami and Hinata suddenly halted. "Hwatsrong?" she asked. She quickly straightened up when noticed Marilyn sensei.
"What are you three doing at this hour, boys?"
"Ms. Marilyn, good evening," Hinata greeted their teacher.
"That wasn't the answer. What are you doing here? It's past curfew now." Marilyn sensei looked between the three, noticed their ragged breath.
"We, uh, we have…" Nami licked her lips and took quick glance toward the other girls. "…have…"
"Have helped my work."
Nami turned around and was surprised to see student representative girl. "Ray san."
"What do you mean they helped you?" Marilyn sensei asked Ray.
"They helped me doing my work," Ray said. 'And it takes more time than I thought."
"Really?" Marilyn turned back to the boys.
They nodded their heads swiftly. "Yes."
"If you're late because helping Ray san it's alright." Marilyn sensei smiled to her favorite students. "But, if you go out without permission you'll get detention. Understood boys?"
"Yes, ma'am," Nami, Asahi and Hinata replied.
Nami let out a sigh of relief when Marilyn sensei turned around to leave. "That's close," she said but then dropped gaze down when her eyes met student representative's eyes.
"What have I told you about breaking rules?" Ray said particularly toward the blonde boy.
"We thought to have hangout, we are sorry Ray sama," Asahi apologized.
"It was my fault, my idea," Hinata added, lowering gaze.
Ray then turned to the last person. Kai moved held gaze down to ground.
Nami finally brought gaze up. "I'm sorry. We promise this is the last time."
"It should be," Ray said. "Now follow me. I believe the janitor won't let you in now as you break curfew."
Nami glanced at the other girls. They grimaced and followed the student representative girl toward boy's dorm. She wondered if she would get another detention from the girl. A heavy sigh escaped from her mouth at the thought.
Okay, that's for now :)
Thank you for reading and see you again.
